As Equestria's newest Princess Twilight had been very busy lately. Sure most ponies still went to The Mayor with their problems but it seemed like there was always at least one person each day that would be coming to her. Asking her to do something. So needless to say when Rarity suddenly teleported into her living room she was more then a little upset, though she did her best to remain calm.
"Sorry to drop in unannounced." Rarity said "But I need your help with something."
Twilight sighed "What is it this time?' she asked, trying not to come across as rude.
"Can you keep a secret?" Rarity asked.
"Depends." Twilight said "Just don't make me 'Pinkie Promise' I'm still not good at those."
"I wasn't going to make you 'Pinkie Promise' anyway." Rarity said "The way I see it the less people that know about this the better. So can I trust you to just keep to this yourself? And possibly Spikey Wikey as well?"
"I guess." Twilight said "What's the secret?" Rarity proceeded to whisper it into Twilight's ear. The shock caused her wings (which had been folded against her sides) to fold outward in shock. Twilight quickly used her magic to fold them back down. "Sorry about that." she apologized.
"That's o.k." Rarity said "I expected the news to catch you off guard. I'd have been more concerned if you weren't shocked at all."
"Well I suppose I can keep this a secret." Twilight said "But I hope you didn't come here just to make me swear to secrecy."
"Of course not." Rarity said "I came here because I needed some advice and I figured you were the best person to turn to."
"What do you mean by advice?" Twilight asked "I know I'm a princess but that doesn't mean I can solve every problem that gets brought to me."
"The thing is I really don't know what to say or do." Rarity admitted "This is a very delicate situation and I'm afraid if I say the wrong thing I might upset 'Sweetie Belle'." Rarity still wasn't sure whether she wanted to keep using "Sweetie Belle" or start using "Sweetie Bot", and this confusion was part of the reason why she felt so conflicted.
"Look Rarity I appreciate that you have faith in me but I really can't help you out here." Twilight said "You have to decide for yourself what you think is best. No one else can make the important decision for you."
"But I dont know what to do." Rarity said "Please you have to help me."
"I'm sorry Rarity but I can't do that." Twilight said.
"Even if I gave you one of my fashionable gaint hats for free?" Rarity asked. Twilight merely shook her head. Rarity sighed "There's just no convincing you is there?"
"Nope." Twilight said "You and you alone have the power to decide what you want to do."
"Can you at least offer me some advice?" Rarity asked.
"I suppose so." Twilight said "Basically you need to ask yourself 'What do I think is the best course of action?' and go from there."
"I see." Rarity said.
"And remember there's no solution that's perfect. Every solution will have some sort of consequence. So you need to think carefully." Twilight explained.
"Right." Rarity said and she started to think. But only a few seconds later she was interrupted by Spike.
"Just got an urgent letter from The Mayor." he said panting. He had been given the letter only a few minutes ago but he had covered a lot of ground to bring it to Twilight and that had taken a lot out of him.
Twilight unfolded it with her magic and read it aloud.
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
It has come to my attention that the younger sister of Rarity Belle is rampaging through town. No one is willing to get close enough to do anything about though.
I would appreciate it very much if you could put a stop to this nonsense before somebody gets hurt. If not I'm afraid I will have to resort to drastic measure to protect the town, I really don't want it to have to come to that.
Sincerely,
The Mayor of Ponyville a.k.a Mayor Mare[ /i]
"Why would Sweetie Belle do such a thing?" Spike asked.
"Because she just found out she's a robot." Rarity said and explained to Spike what had unfolded a short time ago. "Sounds like she's really hurting." Spike said.
"Indeed she is." Rarity said "And I'm going to do something about!" Upon saying these words she headed for the door and opened it.
"Rarity where do you think you're going?" Twilight asked.
"To comfort my little sister of course." Rarity said.
"Are you nuts?!" Spike shouted "Do you want to get killed?!" He raced forward but Twilight put a hand in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.
"Let her go." Twilight said "I think I know what she's doing."
