Rarity is one of the most famous, successful fashionistas in Equestria. The unicorn has it all from the shops and dresses to the fame and respect. Certainly it has been an easy road for her, right? At least, that is what Sweetie Belle thinks until she finally asks Rarity, "What kept you going despite all your failures?"

It's the long awaited day that Sweetie Belle was looking forward to. Her birthday. What exactly will be in store for the little pony's big day? Is her big sister doing anything special?

Broken times, We all have 'em.
Everybody has an awkward experience as a teenager, some of us have several. Sweetie Belle had one too.

Keep in mind! This story takes place at a future point, the CMC are ages 17-18, making Rarity roughly 32.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash pose as Sweetie Belle’s parents in the age-old story of I-can’t-let-my-parents-talk-to-my-teacher-they’ll-ground-me-for-life.

But things, of course, get worse in the not-so-sensible way before they get better – the good better.

Rarity finds herself entrusted with the prestigious duty of crafting regal attire for the imminent Snilldar Fest in Yakyakistan, and she invites her little sister, Sweetie Belle, to accompany her on this chilly journey.

After Hearth's Warming, everyone takes their trees to the curb and takes down all the lights and decorations.

This includes Rarity and Sweetie Belle, of course. It's basic routine.

But seeing the lights gives Sweetie an idea...one that her sister might not be so keen on.

A Jinglemas 2023 story in spirit, written for anyone who reads it, since I didn't work up the courage nor clear my schedule enough to participate in proper this year. Hopefully someone out there who enjoys sweet Rarity-Sweetie sister fluff will appreciate this.

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?

In the days following Starlight Glimmer's recent reformation to the ways of friendship, Spike figured he'd see her around more often. However, he didn't expect her to start going out of her way to spend as much time with him as possible.

Determined to get to the bottom of it, Spike decides to figure out what might be going on in Starlight's head.
