deactived, thanks for hanging around.

Rarity knows Sweetie is a sweet filly, everyone in Ponyville did. She was like a flower, a kind and gentle foal. So imagine their surprise when she returned to Ponyville from a Manehattan trip with her parents with a whole new image, an image sure to be shunned by her older sister. But will the rest of the town accept the new her, or will they cast her out for the little rebel she appears?

A story about acceptance. Consider this the after school special with a better taste in music and smokes cigarettes behind the school with your brother.

Great. This is turning into an episode of Golden Girls.....one of the ones where Blanche gets a bug up her arse about some minor thing because she's more interested in Impressing The Quality People than being a decent God-damned human being. Cue a blitz attack from the Freelance Shame Squad to make her realize what a jackass she's being and the thing writes itself.

Love it so far. Liked, faved, and looking forward to more. Also...

"Teenage Retirement?" She turned to her sister. "Is this a CD?"

Was that a reference? Cause if so, I kinda missed it.

Expecting Sweetie to be a full on metal-head: listenin' to Amon Amarth, Sabaton, Avenged Sevenfold, Alestorm, etc.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

5318363 Pretty sure 95% of peeps here even know who the golden girls are, Blanche was always kinda a bitch anyway.

OH MY GOD. GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her green eyes young with a halo of black around them, her lips curled into a smile at the sight of seeing her big sister after so long. Her pristine white fur hidden beneath a beaten leather vest. Her saddle bags bounced as she skipped her way towards Rarity with excitement, her hooves wrapped in black leather, studded bracelets.

A regal purple collar...meant for a pony. It was decorated with spikes and a tag for one Miss Generous...

Reminds me of little kids, they go and stay at there snot-nosed friends/relatives house for awhile. They bring back a cold and give it to you as if it was a gift, now your infected to. It's like:
Kid: "Hey mommy! I got you a gift!"
Mom: "Oh! What is it"
Kid: "Snot, a cold, and 3 days of missed unpaid work!" and he then proceeds to sneeze in your face covering you in his infected radioactive snot.

5318827 Oh, it's the title a a recent cd i had been listening to. The band is very recent, they're called Chumped

Oh, how Rarity loved the shops up in Manehattan. All of the best fashions she heard end up in the big apple.

Eye liner

Also in both the cover art, and in the story when you're describing Sweetie Belle's new appearance. You might want to add that her Mane is red. Is her tail red to match? Or is it only the mane? The story isn't confusing until Sweets and Rares get to the library, and we find out she had a red mohawk.

Decent start to the story. Look forward to reading chaper 2.

Ummmm ... this is Rarity we're talking about. Since when in canon has she not been exactly as you described Blanche being? Seriously that's Rarity's thing, doing what ever to impress Canterlot Nobility and "important ponies" rather than being a decent pony 95% of the time. And that 5% only after she goes through some moral dillema or has her dreams shattered with a wrecking ball.

Rarity's eventually return brought with it an awkward silence, wrapping the afternoon up nicely with the quadrant sitting in the living room of the library.

She let out a yelp and ran up the stairs as her big sister ganged after her.

No obvious fix. But that's definitely the wrong word choice.

and 'gained after' makes no sense grammatically.

You really need an editor, this fic isn't really bad. As much of really poor word choices / spelling here and there. Are you writing this on a smartphone ? If so, check you're auto-correct before submitting.

WHEN YOU DRESS LIKE YOU CAME FROM THE CIRCUS Don't be surprised to be approached by the local clowns.:raritywink:

Spikes a conservative classic type of dragon. :moustache:

Sweeties rudeness over shadows her cuteness.:unsuresweetie: So called rebels don't last.

What is Equestria coming to?:facehoof:

Good story concept, :flutterrage::raritydespair::moustache::pinkiegasp::applejackconfused::twilightoops::derpytongue2:

"Buck em'."

Kicking others is not nice

Sweetie Belle has turned into Beastie Belle.

Sweetie's crushing severely on Spike.

5319350 Alright, I believe I grabbed all of them and added a few things. Thank you so much for pointing them out, good sir. :twilightsmile:

5319518

You're welcome :twilightsmile:, and I look forward to the next chapter :scootangel:.

Seems that Spike finally turned his attention to the right sister :moustache: Also, Rarity should hide the razor blades – who knows what the next phase will be...

"Buck em'."

Spike seems to be hitting puberty too...

Best gag present ever.

5319156 "Video not available in your country" :facehoof:
Anyways...I checked out a few songs, and decided that's an album worth buying. So...thanks for that.

Here lets go with something that isn't shit

TLC

5320443 I am sorry sir, but you cannot compare one song from one genre to one song from another genre.
And Thus

Oh no. She's become... NIGHTMARE SWEETIE :raritydespair:

Looking forward to seeing what the next chapters bring! I like rebellious spike!

rebel love between spike and sweetie belle, it's possible so nuff said :moustache:

5320443 >iron maiden
>not shit
are you like 13 years old? Metal is for children.
I mean, Green Day ain't no saviors of punk, but at least they're not edgy tryhards

5321535 *sigh* can we please not make this an argument about musical taste, its like having someone trying to shove there religion down peoples throats.

That image of Sweetie Bell :raritycry::rainbowlaugh: ... I have to read this *puts on read later list for the evening* :D

5321839 And speaking of shoving things down people's throats...Imagine the shock I had a few weeks ago, when I, as part of a group on this site called "Jewish Ponies", had disproportionate amounts of photos of Jewish people that were taken in Nazi Germany shoved down my throat in a creepy, disturbing, and, above all else, anti-Semitic way. Click here to see how I and some other members of the "Jewish Ponies" group reacted when we saw these photos.

5321839 Eh, you're right; I'll step down. To solidify my OWN immaturity, however, let it stand for the record that he started it.

5322593 Yes, but lets not be the ones to continue it, ok?:ajbemused:

beside, we all know Caramelldansen is the best:trollestia:

5322603

Caramelldansen

that's a funny way of spelling Abba

TLC

5322632
5322608 That's funny, I've never seen General Republic spelled that way before.. :ajsmug:

5322663 There are many ways to spell PFUDOR

Again, you got me hooked. Especially with that Nirvana reference.
Just one little thing, though:

"While your at school,

"What did you're sister think?"

Exchange the your and you're in those two, and we're good.

Rarity could see now it used to have sleeves due to the tares and frays around the shoulders.

She said, looking back down at the list.

So Sweetie's tail matches her mane? And what did she do to her tail? That was never covered in the Cover Art or description of Sweets in chapter 1. Nonetheless cute chapter.

Spike turned and picked up the books he had dropped before and made his way up stairs, whistling a tune along the way.

Tune is green and italicized, but not a link. What tune was he whistling? He seems like a classic rocker to me, so let me guess...

The acoustic version of Layla? A song about a love triangle seems rather appropriate. :raritywink:

Paint it black? I just seems right. :derpytongue2:

In the last 3 minutes , those are the only 2 rock songs I've been able to think of that you can whistle with any degree of ease.

Edit: I forgot to say it earlier, but this is excellently excellent. :twilightsmile:

TLC

5323179 Again, thank you. The tail is just not as curly as it usually is in the show, no real big change other than the color. I will try to be more clear about that in future chapters :twilightsmile:

Well, if you want this Sweetie/Spike ship going, he's going to need a motorcycle soon. Or some kind of cycle. As well as a leather jacket of his own and possibly the power to turn on jukeboxes by hitting them.

5323540

Sweet, and you're welcome. It's nice to see that at least Twi, Spike, Rares, and Scoots are cool with her new look. As well as Rarity stepping up to help her out.

I'm enjoying this so far, but I really hope you don't stick Applebloom (or the other Apples) into the traditionalist role her family usually gets lumped into. I know there has to be someone who is close to Sweetie who isn't okay with it, or else there isn't any decent conflict, but in situations like these it's almost always one of the apples who has to do it.

I'm curious to see if it's just her looks that have been affected by her trip, or her personality as well. It's only been one day, and it's her first 24 hours back, so there hasn't been time to develop that too far. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

I really like this story thus far, and I am certainly looking forward to the next chapter!

only drop everything as Sweetie Belle ascended down the final step.

Is there a reason for this strange wording?

If not, "descended" (moving downwards) would seem to be what your looking for, ascended generally means moving upwards, so "ascended down" is like "going up down" the final step.
