//------------------------------// // The Hotel, Sticky Bandits, and Trapsetting // Story: Sweetie Belle: Home Alone 2: Lost in Manehatten // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Back in Manehattan Sweetie Belle finally made it to the Diamond Plaza Hotel. She went inside and looked all around seeing everything so pretty. But if she was gonna stay here then she needed to make a reservation. Lucky for her she had a plan. She took out her earned money she was saving for the past two years. It was just enough for a week stay here. She then got a phone and made a reservation to stay for a week. Then after that she was given a royal suite all for herself. It has an extra large bed, a TV and one of those little refrigerators you gotta open with a key. She placed her bags down and got settled in bed. "Ooh that feels so comfy. This may have been a bump in the road but I think I will like it here." Sweetie said. Then we begin another montage. Sweetie was in the indoor swimming pool and relaxing in the cool water and enjoying it on her skin. Next she was in the buffet getting some food to eat. And finally she was in the gift shop looking for something for Rarity and her parents. We end the montage and Sweetie is back in the hotel room and watching a romantic movie. After the movie she turned off the TV and then began thinking that since this happened last year she need to be with her family. "You know? I did wish for the nice weather and a good vacation. But now I'm thinking that this isn't fun as I thought it would be. I gotta be with my family and then I can celebrate Christmas." Sweetie said. She went to the window where she saw the whole city. Then she looked at the sky and saw a bright star shining and made a wish on it. "I wish to be reunited with my sister and my parents for Christmas. No toys. Just my family." Sweetie wished. Then we see the star twinkle it's light and Sweetie smiled. "Well. Good night Rarity." Sweetie said. We then cut back to Florida where everything is still raining and Rarity looked out the window hoping her little sister is okay. "Good night Sweetie." Rarity said. Then she went to bed in hopes of dreaming for her sister's safety. The next morning we see Sweetie Belle getting up and heading to a special toy store called Jolly's Toy Chest. And fun fact they were planning on giving the donation money to all the orphans. But Marv and Harry aka the Wet/Sticky Bandits were planning to steal the money at midnight. Sweetie arrived at the toy store and looked around seeing all the glorious toys ever made. She only bought one for herself and it was darn worth it. After she paid for it she went outside and looked on her map to see where she can go next. But then the bandits showed up and saw her. They smirked and got close. "Hi there pal." Harry said. Sweetie froze in shock knowing instantly who that voice belong to. She slowly turned around and saw them in shock. "You! Harry and Marv! The Wet Bandits! I can't believe you escaped!" Sweetie said scared. "You darn right we did. And were no longer the Wet Bandits. Were actually known as the Sticky Bandits now. Come here!" Marv said. The two grabbed Sweetie and headed off for the subway. "You really thought we forgot about you? No way. I spend every day in jail thinking about revenge on you. And now today is the day." Harry snarled. "Yep. We busted out and were doing better. Cause were not robbing houses anymore. Now were robbing toy stores. Midnight tonight were hitting Jolly's Toy Chest." Marv said. "Would you shut up Marv?" Harry asked. "What's the difference? She ain't talking to no one. Expect maybe a fish." Marv answered. "Let's just get her to the subway. I will feel a lot better once we put her on ice." Harry said. The Sticky Bandits were almost at the subway and Sweetie needed to break free so she can escape. Lucky she had a plan. She reached and squeezed a woman's behind and quickly placed her hand back before she faced the guys. She didn't get caught and punched both of them in the face. That gave Sweetie the advantage to escape them. She ran fast as she could and hid in the park so the bandits can't find her. Nighttime rolled in and Sweetie was all alone in the park. She wanted to go home but can't. Not with the Sticky Bandits on the loose. And then she saw the bird woman right there and she saw Sweetie. But this time she wasn't scared. "Hello dear." The bird woman said. "Hi. I'm sorry for running away earlier. All those birds scared me but now I can see that they like you." Sweetie answered. "Yes. And I see you out here all alone. Wanting to be back with family again." The bird woman replied. "Yes miss. At first I thought that planning a self vacation was nice but it isn't without family. And now these Sticky Bandits are gonna steal the money from the toy store and oh I'm so worried!" Sweetie said. "It's okay dear. Just calm down. Your a brave girl. And I know you can do it. You just need to look in your heart and be courageous. Stop the bandits and do what's right." The bird woman encouraged her. Sweetie knew she was right. So she put on her determined face and thanked the lady for that wonderful advice. She ran off and found an abandoned building and crawled through the vent to get inside. Once in she took out a blueprint with some drawings of the traps she's gonna set up. After a few hours she finished all the traps and was ready. Meanwhile in Florida Cookie heard the phone ring and answered it. "Hello?" Cookie said. "Ma'am this is the chief. We found your daughter." The chief said. "You found her?! Oh I'm so happy! Where she is?" Cookie asked. "She is in Manehattan." The chief answered. "Manehattan? Oh thanks for letting me know! Had they found her?" Cookie said. "No the police are still looking. But we wanted to let you know once we got the message." The chief said. "Thanks. We'll be on the next flight." Cookie said and hung up. "Come on everyone. Were going to Manehattan right now." As soon as everyone heard that they packed their bags and headed for Manehattan so they can find Sweetie Belle and celebrate Christmas once more.
