After Rarity cancels their sleepover plans, a depressed Sweetie Belle comes upon a rare flower called the Wishing Flower, and wishes that Rarity could find more time to spend with her. Soon after, Rarity's business begins to fail, and Sweetie Belle realizes that it is her fault. Now, she must find a way to right her wrong before Rarity's career is ruined forever.

This story is based off of a cute little one shot written by Platnium, and was written with her permission. Check it out here.

Living as an outcast is hard. Living in fear of becoming an outcast is harder. For Sweetie Belle, discovery would mean ostracization from society, family and friends. This story follows the life of Sweetie Belle and the ponies in it, in an alternate universe where Equestria upholds strict moral values.

Warning: contains the crushing of dreams.

Sweetie Belle can't fall asleep. Luckily, Rarity always cares about her little sister.
