			Rarity is excited for today, because her parents are coming to visit. As for Sweetie Belle, she's not excited to see them, because her dad is expecting her to sing while their there. Sometimes she doesn't like to sing too much, otherwise she run out of breath. 

"Oh, Sweetie Belle, isn't this exciting.", Rarity said cheerfully.

"Yeah, I guess.", Sweetie Belle said sadly. "I wish they were here earlier this morning, so I can make them breakfast, even though, I burned it once."

"I am worried about you, Sweetie.", Rarity said. "Dad wants you to sing while he and mom are here, but, if you sing too much, you'll run out of air."

"I know.", Sweetie Belle said. "I wish there was a way for me to not sing too much. If I tell him I don't want to sing, it will hurt his feelings. I know he saw me sing on stage a million times, but doing it while through their whole vacation, it's just too much for me, I might get a soar throat from all that singing."

"Pretty much.", Rarity said. "If you didn't have a voice at all, you wouldn't be worried about singing to much."

"That could happen.", Sweetie Belle said.

"Wait. What? Are you asking me if you can give me your voice?", Rarity asked.

"Yes.", Sweetie Belle said. "So, that way I don't have to sing so much."

"You know, I could do that for you, Sweetie, but, you might not talk when your voice isn't there anymore.", Rarity said. "But, whatever. I have done it before, so lets get started."

"Ok.", Sweetie Belle said. "So, how did you do it? I did see you do it when you did it the first time."

"All you do is lift up your chin and sing while I used my magic to get your voice out.", Rarity explained. "Now, Sweetie, relax as I get my magic prepared."

Sweetie Belle closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Are you ready, sis?", she asked.

"Alright, Sweetie, lift up your chin and sing.", Rarity instructed her sister as her horn lit up.

Sweetie Belle lifted her chin up and sang a lovely tune, her neck glowed as she sang. Three sparks of magic went into her mouth as she kept singing. The sparks surrounded Sweetie Belle's voice and brought it up through her neck and out of her mouth. She smiled and covered up her throat as she looked at her own singing voice.

Rarity grabbed a jar and placed her sister's voice inside it. "Alright, lets test to see if you can talk or not.", she said.

Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to speak, but, nothing came out.

"So, I guess you can't talk without your voice.", Rarity said. "Well, that should do it. And, don't worry about your voice, little sis, it will be safe and sound in that jar."

The door bell rang. "I'll get it.", Rarity said running up to the door. She opened the door greeting her parents to come in. "Mom, Dad, nice to see you."

"It's good to see you to, Rarity.", Rarity's mom said.

"It's been a while.", Rarity's dad said. "Where's my lovely singer, Sweetie Belle?"

Sweetie Belle waved to her parents. She ran up to them and hugged them. "So, where's that singing voice, my little darling.", her father asked.

Sweetie Belle opened to sing something, but nothing came out. She touched her neck.

"Soar throat, huh?", the father asked.

"She does have a soar throat.", Rarity said. "She might want to sing a little bit later, so her voice will be better later on."

"Well, take a medicine, it always makes my throat feel better.", Rarity's mom suggested. She grabbed some of her medicine out of her bag and pour it in a cup. "Take this, Sweetie Belle, it should help your throat."

Sweetie Belle grabbed the cup of medicine with her magic and drank it. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing else came out, still.

"Huh, I thought this would help.", the mother said. "Don't worry, Sweetie, your throat will feel better in no time."

"Lets get a move on for our vacation.", the father said. "Where should we go first?"

"We can go to Sugarcube Corner.", Rarity suggested.

"Sounds fair to me.", the mother said.
