//------------------------------// // The Fight // Story: Sweetie Come Home // by BlackRainboom //------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Fight It was just another Saturday morning in Ponyville. The sun had just dawned, and ponies were starting to come out of their houses and take on the day. For Sweetie Belle this was not your average Saturday. Every summer for the past three years her parents had always gone on a romantic vacation to the tropics and left Sweetie with her sister Rarity. Sweetie Belle loved having fun with her sister. This summer she was going to get to go to the summer sun celebration with her sister. It was going to be so much fun. "Okay Sweetie were here!" shouted her father as they pulled up to Raritys Boutique. "Sweetie got her bags out of the back of the carriage and said bye to her parents. "Bye mom! Bye dad! I hope you have fun on your vacation!" shouted Sweetie as her parents carriage drives away. Oh boy! I get to spend a whole week with my favorite sister in the world! Sweetie Belle knocked on the door and waited for Rarity to open it. "Just a minute!" shouted Rarity who sounded as though she was trying to concentrate on something else. Rarity opened the door, she seemed to be in a sour mood. But her face lit up when she saw Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie Belle its so good to see you!" shouted Rarity as she hugged Sweetie Belle "Come inside and make yourself at home." Sweetie Belle came inside and put her stuff in the guest bedroom where she always stays when she is at Raritys house. Sweetie was so happy to be back at Raritys house. The week she stayed at Raritys house was always her favorite time of the year She couldn't wait to see what Rarity had planned for them to do this week. Sweetie Belle trotted downstairs to talk to her sister. "So sis what are we going to do today?" asked Sweetie Belle. "Oh I'm so sorry Sweetie but today I'm working on my dress for the Summer Sun Celebration! Its going to look fabulous!" exclaimed Rarity. "Oh... well I thought we could do something fun today." said Sweetie Belle, who was a bit disappointed. "Yes I wish we could to, but once I'm done we can have fun all week!" said Rarity. "Okay! I'll go find something else to do" said Sweetie. Sweetie went up to guest room. She sat around, she read a book, she stared ominously out the window. She thought about how amazing Raritys dress was going to be and how much fun they were going to have. But understandably Sweetie Belle eventually became bored. She sat around in an extended state of boredom until finally... "Sweetie! Come downstairs! I have something to show you!" Rarity shouted up the stairs Sweetie dashed down the stairs excitedly. She turned to see Rarity standing next to a beautiful white and gold dress. "So? What do you think?" asked Rarity The dress was a brilliant white with intricate gold vines wrapping around it. There was a necklace with all kinds of gems and a tiara with a large diamond on front. The dress appeared to be made out of very fine silk. "It's beautiful!" said Sweetie Belle as she stared wide eyed at the dress "Those vines are made of real gold! It took me month to make it! I can't wait to wear it to the summer sun celebration!" exclaimed Rarity "Can I take a closer look?" asked Sweetie Belle "Sure! But be very careful... the fabric can tear very easily" said Rarity Sweetie began to trot toward the dress. "Wait! Sweetie! Look out for the needles!" shouted Rarity "Wh- AUGH!" screamed Sweetie Belle as she stepped right on the sharp tip of a needle. She stumbled, colliding into the dress. "NOOOOO!" screamed Rarity The dress toppled over, part of it catching on a coat hanger. A sickening ripping noise echoed throughout the room. When it was all over Sweetie was lying on the floor with her hoof bleeding and Raritys dress had a large rip right down the middle. "Oh no! I'm so sorry Rarity!" sniffled Sweetie Belle "You...you destroyed it... I spent months working on that...." mumbled Rarity "But-" said Sweetie Belle who was quickly cut off by Rarity "No buts... you destroyed my dress! YOU RUINED IT!" said Rarity who started to scream "WELL YOU LEFT YOUR NEEDLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR!" screamed Sweetie Belle "WELL YOU DIDN'T WATCH WHERE YOU WERE GOING!" screamed Rarity "GO TO THE GUEST ROOM NOW! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW!" Sweetie dashed into the guest room, viciously slamming the door. She pulled down the curtains, threw things, and even flipped over a desk. In her rage she formulate a plan. She would run away to the everfree forest. When their parents found out Rarity would talk the blame. She would return to Rarity being punished... it was the perfect plan. She sat in her room waiting for the perfect moment. She heard Rarity downstairs banging around. She waited... and waited... until finally she heard the sounds stop. This was it. Sweetie pulled open her bedroom window and dashed out into the night air. She streaked across Ponyville under the light of the moon. She snuck through alleyways and around buildings until finally she reached her destination. The everfree forest...perfect With that Sweetie Belle dashed into the forest.
