	Rarity removed the mask and took off her rubber hoof gloves, she observed the sparkling clean bathroom with reverence. She took a deep breath and the smell of bleach and other cleaners filled her nose. It was a good smell. She looked down at the floor, where the perfectly polished checkered tiles reflected the vanity lights just right. Her eyes drifted up to the mirror, spotless and streak-free, down to the sink, where the faucet shone with glory. Even the toilet was clean. Rarity stood back to admire her work. 

She had been spending the entire day cleaning, and not just her regular cleaning, either. She had rented giant carpet scrubbers and industrial grade cleaners to get her home and place of business absolutely sanitized. She stepped out of the bathroom and made her way down the hall. She knocked on Sweetie Bell's door before twisting the knob.

What lay beyond the door almost gave Rarity a heart attack. Mold and mildew covered the walls and ceiling, giving the room a deadly sort of smell. What little floor could be seen was stained and filthy, not to mention all the garbage and dirty laundry piled up everywhere. Rarity gasped as she saw a tentacle reach out from under the bed and grab a rotting slice of pizza before retreating back into the dark.

Sweetie Belle popped her head out from under a pile of laundery "Look Rarity! I cleaned my room!"

"What in the name of Celestia is this?" Rarity scolded. "You did no such thing! Look at this mess!"

"No, my room is clean, look." Sweetie Belle pointed. "I made a path from the door to my bed and from my bed to the closet."

Rarity threw up in her mouth a little before swallowing it, sending a shudder down her spine. "How are we even related?" She wispered.

"I know! When a mommy pony and a daddy pony-"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN, SWEETIE BELLE!" Rarity yelled, cutting her sister off from giving the most awkward speech known to pony kind. Rarity used her magic to hover her cleaning supplies from the bathroom over to Sweetie's room. "I've got to quarenteen this entire room. Come back in four to five days..." She lifted Sweetie Belle out of the rubble with her magic and tossed her out the window before she donned a full yellow hazmat suit.

"It. Is. On." She yelled, diving headfirst into the filth.
