At first Rarity waited patiently for "Sweetie Belle" to return and announce her decision. She was certain that it wouldn't take her very long. However as the minutes ticked by Rarity began to grow worried, though only slightly. Her first thought was to go and ask "Sweetie Belle" what was wrong but she quickly decided against it. She didn't want to make a potentially bad situation even worse and her "little sister" had specifically asked to be left alone.
All the same as yet more minutes passed by without even a peep from "Sweetie Belle" Rarity knew she had to do something. But what could she do? She still didn't know whether "Sweetie Belle" wanted her secret to be revealed, and if she had decided against such a thing Rarity wouldn't want to break the news to her that she had already told someone. She was nearly tempted to call her parents and ask them, but the fear of what they might suggest or how they might react to the news quickly prompted her to scratch that idea off her list.
She couldn't just do nothing because she knew that the nagging feeling inside of her would never leave her alone even if she tried to ignore it. And she knew she wouldn't be able to just distract herself until "Sweetie Belle" came back. Heck she still wasn't sure whether to call her "little sister" "Sweetie Belle" or "Sweetie Bot". She wasn't even sure if she still wanted to call that "being" her "little sister". But she knew she had to do something.
"Oh Opal what am I do?" Rarity said. Normally the fashionista would find it very weird to be talking about her problems to her cat (even if she did it on a regular basis) but she was desperate for answers and at this point she was willing to consider anything.
Opal either didn't seem to notice or seem to care about what Rarity had to say and simply walked away to go lay down somewhere. After all prior to being stepped on by "Sweetie Belle" Opal had sleeping peacefully.
"Opal please! Don't leave me!" Rarity pleaded, to no avail as Opal left the room leaving her owner on her own once again. Rarity sighed, what did she expect? Opal was but a humble cat and though at time she had helped Rarity out there was only so much she could do, and this was one situation where she couldn't help her owner at all. So that left Rarity at square one again. Unsure of what to do and growing more worried as the minutes continued to tick by.
Eventually half an hour had passed and Rarity had not heard anything at from "Sweetie Belle". As her friend Twilight had once said "Enough is enough!" She needed some good advice and just sitting around on her rear end all day wasn't going to solve anything. (All it would do was make her fat, though only if she made a habbit out of it.) Deciding to press her luck a little she decided she would tell someone about "Sweetie Belle's" situation, though only someone she knew she could trust. The only question now was who should it be?
Rainbow Dash was already out of the question. As far as Rarity was concerned that brash tomboy couldn't be trusted with a secret and chances were that she'd probably just assume Rarity was joking anyway. Pinkie Pie had hung out with Rarity a little bit but she could've sworn that pastry chef to be didn't tell her everything about her past as she had said it wasn't important. Perhaps because of that Rarity felt like Pinkie Pie would only make things worse so a little bit reluctantly she crossed her off the list as well. Then there was Applejack, that down to earth farm girl always valued honesty. But said honesty was often a double edged sword and that meant it was possible she might spill the beans. So that left either Fluttershy or Twilight and of the two Rarity knew Fluttershy a little more personally. Fluttershy and her had planned on bringing about the end of the world once but Rarity had ultimately ruined it in order to save her sister's soul, back when she had no reason to believe that her sister didn't have one. Unfortunately Rarity knew that unless "Sweetie Belle" was inducted into Fluttershy group Fluttershy might not feel all that compelled to help. So that left Twilight,
Concentrating on the Ponyville Books and Branches Library Rarity teleported. Intending to have a little discussion with Twilight, who she was certain would give her the advice she needed. She was unaware that as she was teleporting "Sweetie Belle" was descending the stairs, having made up her mind about what she wanted to do.
The situation was about to get ugly.
