Sweetie Belle's outstanding performance in the school pageant should be a reason to celebrate, but when she is crushed by a glaring absence in the crowd, Rarity steps up—just like she's always had to do.

This story is a sequel to "Another Cup of Tea, Madam?"

"GROW UP!"

Sweetie Belle was happy being the joyful young filly that she was, but things soon get turned upside down when two words from a friend changes who she thought she was.

Now, Sweetie Belle must find out who she truly is behind the smile, or be lost forever...

This is a What if story? So this one isn't canon with the original.

"I hope she likes it. I am so nervous. I haven't sung in front of Rarity in 5 years. I just want to make Rarity proud of me. That's all I want to make my sister proud."

Luna thinks of a novel way to cheer up a distraught Sweetie Belle. Five stars on Equestria Daily!

EDIT ONE: Please also check out Singing to the Moon by the fabulously talented uSea. It's a story which I didn't even know existed until someone in the comments pointed out the similarities (I mean, seriously, that story even has some of the exact same phrasing as my own. It's eerie).

EDIT TWO: Funnily enough, long after this was published, the show itself also did something similar. I guess there's something about this pairing that lends itself to this idea?

Rarity had just come home after a month to find out how much Sweetie Belle have missed their mother. What she saw hits her hard in the feels.

First story I've ever wrote. Go easy on me.

Rarity is once again too busy to spend time with her sister. With Twilight Sparkle looking after her, Sweetie Belle discovers a liking of poetry and tries to write a poem about her sister.

Sweetie Belle hasn't come home yet, it's getting dark, and her older sister is worried. Where is she? Is she alright? What happened to her? And just what will Rarity do when her questions are answered?

Rarity has many flaws but she does her best to become a better sister for her little Sweetie Belle.

Unfortunately, that might not be enough.

Once, there was a little unicorn filly who was scared of many things. Almost every night, she found herself unable to sleep and could only be comforted by the singing of a certain lullaby. Years later, long after Rarity left home to pursue a career, Sweetie Belle tries to find a way to reconnect with her older sister, but that's proving to be more difficult than Sweetie expected. A tie-in with Ambition.
