Sweetie Belle wakes up. Sweetie Belle takes a shower. Sweetie Belle tries to make breakfast.

Nothing feels the same to her anymore.

There is a secret about her building Rarity never shared with anypony: there is a hidden room inside the Carousel Boutique.

She's kept it from everypony for a reason though.

Every mare deserves to have her secrets, after all.

Thanks to DWK for being my "Rarity Consultant" for this story.

Prompt for story acquired from here.

Princess Cadance has some problems in her sovereignty over the Crystal Empire. For one thing, she isn't even a crystal pony. Another thing is that the crystal ponies would much rather have the former King Sombra rule over them... despite previously reigning with an iron hoof and treating the populace like whipping mules. To prevent civil war, Cadance has a brilliant idea to ensure her bid for the throne while pleasing the people: have an election.

And it's any wonder ponies don't have democracy.

Sweetie Belle Sings to the moon. But her song attracts an unexpected guest.

After an accident robs them of their parents, Rarity writes Sweetie Belle a letter laying bare a secret kept all the little unicorn's life.

"It's fascinating the level of depth this story takes. Just the part alone about why Rarity represents generosity is enough to bring tears to even the toughest critics. This is an amazing story in every way. Mature in some of its themes and true to life, yet not graphic or exploitive, 'Dear Sweetie Belle' is a must for My Little Pony fans who need a great, sad story to tide them over."

When an accident happens, Rarity spends her final moments with her sister, while seeking comfort from her closest friends.

One shot I did late at night. I had this idea for awhile, so I finally put it down on paper, or computer in this matter. I wrote it in the middle of writing more of the Wonderbolt Origins. Cover art by jamescorck on deviant art, check his art out sometime! Edited and Pre-Read by Ryan Darling.

*update* New story of this in Sweetie Belle's perspective here!

When she's not out in it, Rarity loves rain, especially when the soothing sound of it against her windowpanes acts as a lullaby to get her to sleep. Before she can rest, however, she suddenly feels a familiar urge to check on a certain unicorn filly. She finds what she expects: Sweetie Belle after a nightmare. What she doesn't expect are the filly's out-of-left-field questions and the night to turn into one where Sweetie discovers her long-held secret.
