//------------------------------// // Sweetie Bot - Sweetie Belle: E.T. // Story: Realizations: Cycle 1 // by Jaycren //------------------------------// Sweetie Belle smiled as a shiver passed through her. She knew instantly, Apple Bloom was singing her Heartsong. She could feel the harmonies take shape as her friend sang her feelings for Twilight's Number One Assistant. She hoped that Apple Bloom could tell the Drake how she felt, this time. "Maybe I can do the same for Button." She thought back to the little brown foal now a teen stallion. He never looked down on her, even when she needed to slowly think things through. He would just smile and help her along until she came to her conclusion. She knew she was not a Smart Young Mare, her vocabulary aside, Academics had never been her bread and butter. Allow her to sing and perform, and the world bowed to her. But Button had always respected her intelligence and never treated her like she was stupid. Which was better then other boys that had cast glances her way. They had gone out on a couple of dates and he was always a gentle colt. She smiled and her own Heartsong began to come forth You Mesmerize Me Why do You Love me Why do You Respect Me Your Speech So Alluring Makes Me want to know you Leaves my body Burning They See "Arm Candy" You Don't See The Same Thing Futuristic Stallion Different Ways They Don't See what You Do She left her sister's boutique in time to see Spike leave just ahead of Apple Bloom, Sweetie had her own male to say some things to. She knew he would be in his lab. At work on something that she would never be able to understand but would gladly listen for hours as he tried to explain it to her. Often times He would succeed, his patience in answering all of her inane questions, often was a wonder to Sweetie, yet he could always bring her to understanding. That Light going on behind his eyes as his talent took shape. As he exposed the "glitches" in the system and proceeded to slam them into a working whole. That fire was what she felt when she sang, when she performed. It burned inside them both, she loved seeing its warmth in him. He's in this Whole other World Beyond All Comprehension He opens my Eyes And I almost can see Lead me into the Fire Teach Me, T-T-Teach Me Bring me to Understanding Just to See Your Passion Inflame Me, IN-IN-Inflame me I'm want to be a convert Ready for Conversion He's a Genius This is so Unusual I'ts just not natural This Infatuation She ran to the lab he had only shared with her. Even his mother knew nothing of that place. He had set it up between odd jobs with scrap he had found in junk heaps. Things pulled from filth and lovingly salvaged back to glory. She loved the rhythm of that place. The hum of machinery, the beat of the steam in the pipes, the music of the dings and the boops. He had shared all of it with her. Even the discordancy of a failed experiment had it's place as advancing understanding. A place of chaos and harmony combined into one orchestrated wonderland of technology. It was there that he sought to improve the world. It was there that they had talked about their own interests, she had set up her own recording area there, someplace to experiment. He had allowed her into that place and in the end, it had become their place. He's so accomplished want to be his muse let me stoke his fire I want his Kiss He's so full of Magic I want to be in his World That Whole Comprehension He Opened These Eyes And I need to Know Consumed By His Fire Hold Me, H-H-Hold Me Wrap me in your Burning Warm me With Your Power Kiss me, Ki-Ki-Kiss me I need to be his student ready for enrolment He's So Intelligent His touch I'm Wanting He's Incredible He's All that and More Finally She was before the door of his lab. She had not been invited this time. She had come of her own free will. Button, her Button, she needed to see him and tell him. That he was what she wanted in life. A Stallion that saw her, that was patient and kind, and that would hold her instead of immediately trying to cop a feel. She wanted loyalty, she saw enough of her sister's romantic entanglements to know that she wanted something stable, something safe. She wanted to share her fire with another and have it returned. She wanted to have that warmth. He had been all those things and promised to grow into even more. This Feels Existential Whole other Level Button be my Special One I need to be Listen to Your Heartbeat And be there for the Heartache For You, You are My All, ALL I'm Yours, I-I-I'm Yours Captured By your Loving And always been willing You're Mine, Yo-Yo-You're Mine Don't want any other Coltfriend Here's My Determination You're The Only One You were the first one it's Transcendential I've Always Known I've Always Known I've Always Known You've always been my one You'll Always be my one Written by the gods It's part of natural Law She was done hesitating, she stepped through the door, in her haste failing to notice the warning light that meant no entry. Opening the door caused a draft which pulled the material Button had just converted to dust directly at her, it infused her and devoured her flesh. She cried out and fell to the ground. Her last vision was of the kindest, smartest, most handsome Stallion she had ever met rushing towards her, not daring to touch her for fear of contamination. She smiled as the pain wracked her body. Her last words to him as she closed her eyes where,"I Love you Button mash, Don't let this put out your fire."
