//------------------------------// // Ending of an Era // Story: Power of the Ponycorn // by sapplebelle //------------------------------// That night Sweetie Belle was huddled in her bed reading Gathering Storm. "Sweetie Belle! How was magic camp?" The high-pitched French-accent voice was unmistakeable. "Rarity,it was horrible!" Sweetie Belle wailed."You know that friend I made? Aurora?" "Yes.The one I 'had to meet'?" "Yes.I like her but she..she can go a bit too far sometimes..." Sweetie Belle let her voice trail off. "I see. That is a pickle. "But things always seem clearer after a good night's rest. See you in the morning!!" Rarity left and closed the door. 'THAT'S your advice??!!??!!" Sweetie Belle screamed at Rarity in her thoughts. Today was the last day of camp. For most ponies,the first day would be the day to make a good impression,but for Sweetie Belle,it was the last. Today Sweetie Belle will get the courage to do what's right and confront Starlight about what Aurora did, and she was also gonna do what she was scared of the most: perform magic. Sweetie Belle entered the lobby and cleared her throat."Uh,Starlight can I talk to you about something??" "SURE,lil' pony!!!!! What do ya have on your mind?"asked Starlight. Sweetie Belle started nervously."When you tripped in the common room yesterday,Aurora did it to make me laugh,but it wasn't funny at all." Starlight stared at her. "Is that so?" "Yeah..." Sweetie Belle's voice faded away. Starlight grinned."It's OK,Sweetie Ball. I don't hold a grudge. But thanks alot for playing your piece. That took alot of courage." It was Sweetie Belle's turned to smile. "Speaking of courage..." Starlight said with a coy smile on her face."Finally ready to face yo' fears?!" Sweetie Belle nodded. "THAT'S WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Starlight shrieked,jumping out of her seat. "You are excused from all classes today. Meet me after telekinses class at two." "OK". After telekinses class,Sweetie Belle sat on the ground,waiting for Starlight. Aurora trotted up to her."Sweetie Belle! I didn't see you in any classes today. Where WERE you??" Sweetie Belle frowned. "I was PRACTICING. Got a problem with that?" "Whatever." Aurora said waving a hoof. When she saw a blue filly with messy white hair pass her,she asked her,"Wanna see something SUPER AWESOME FUNNY????!!!!????!!!!????!!!!" "Sure!" said the filly excitedly. Aurora glanced at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle wasn't listening to them. She was peacefully drinking her milk without a care. Suddenly,Aurora zapped her!! ALL of Sweetie Belle's milk came out through her nostrils!!!! "Now wasn't that HILARIOUS?" Aurora asked the filly. They laughed like twisted hyenas. Sweetie Belle was in shock. Then she remembered how Scootaloo was flapping her wings violently, which made a wind wave, which made a black hole!!! Sweetie Belle used her horn to propell herself. She started doing backflips. A huge black hole made its way into the sky. It was quite the spectacle when Aurora got sucked into the hole. Sweetie Belle sat on the bench next to her and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly,Aurora used her tail to grab onto Sweetie Belle! Sweetie Belle slid off the bench,but held onto it for dear life.Aurora lost grip on Sweetie Belle, and her tail ripped off. Sweetie Belle was shocked,surprised, and scared. Twink! The black hole closed up and disappeared. "COME ON,LIL' PONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Starlight yelled like a cheerleader. Sweetie Belle winked a Golden Delicious apple out. It winked in on Starlight's desk. "Great job,lil' pony!" said Starlight,giving her apprentice a High One. "Oh,BTW,"Starlight said to Sweetie Belle(her apprentice)."What happened to your little friend,Aurora? I haven't seen her in a while- it's like she fell off the face of the earth!" "Yeah,something like that." Sweetie Belle said. "Aww,that's too bad. I bet you're gonna miss her,huh?" said Starlight sympathetically. "Oh,we'll keep in touch." said Sweetie Belle with a little wink. The End. Not.
