When Apple Bloom has trouble finding other interests to pursue, she seeks help and advice from Zecora.

Sugar Belle visits Carousel Boutique in search of Rarity, but she finds a different mare instead. Despite their differences, she finds they have something they can bond over.

This was written for the Quills and Sofa’s Speedwriting May Pairings Knockout contest, and also an entry to the Original Pairings May Pairings contest! Y’all can thank Shaslan and RNG for this one.

Sassy Saddles has gotten used to Rarity asking her for favors when the occasion arises, such is the life of being business partners after all. But this time, Sassy thinks Rarity is asking the impossible!

Bringing Sweetie Belle along on a trip to Canterlot Carousel, Rarity is forced to leave Sweetie in Sassy's care when the fashionista realizes she has an important meeting with a client that she cannot be late for! Much to Sassy's displeasure, as she thinks foals of all ages are a hoofful.

But perhaps, Sweetie Belle will change Sassy's perceptions? After all, Sweetie Belle is a well meaning filly. Surely a filly as sweet and well intentioned as her can't be too much trouble for a couple of hours, right?

"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."

Featured in popular stories.

Rarity’s eyes were shut, and the velvety darkness behind her eyelids was soft and comforting as Opalescent’s fur. The only sound was the crackling of the logs on the fire, and the only sensation the delicious rise and fall of her marefriend’s ribcage.
