//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: Sisters // Story: Equestria Girls 2: Shards of Harmony // by Zurvan //------------------------------// Chapter 15: Sisters Monday morning Rarity is sitting at the table in her studio when Sweetie Belle comes down for breakfast. “Sweetie,” Rarity says. “Yeah sis?” Sweetie responds. “Can you are your friend Apple Bloom come by the Boutique tonight? I have something I wish to discuss with the two of you.” “Um, sure, we’ll come right after school,” Sweetie says, then asks curiously. “What’s this about?” “Something important, I’ll tell you when we’re all together.” “Okay,” Sweetie looks weary, but not sure what else to say she heads onto school. “This should be interesting,” Rarity says as she finishes her tea then gets into her car and heads to school, knowing Sweetie would rather show up on her own, instead of with her. She pulls up and parks among the other girls cars. A beat up pickup truck pulls up next to her porsche, and Applejack gets out., “Hey Rares.” Rarity smiles, “Hey AJ.” “We good for this afternoon?” “Sweetie said she’d bring Bloom by after school.” “Let’s get this day over with.” -------- “Hey Bloom!” Sweetie Belle calls out to her friend as she walks to school. “Hey Sweetie!” Apple Bloom smiles as she sees her friend, “What’s up?” “Rarity asked me to bring you to the Boutique after school.” “That doesn’t sound good,” Apple Bloom remarks, “you think she knows about …“ she whispers, “us?” Sweetie groans, “I hope not, I’m sure she won’t be happy.” “We’ll just have to deal with it right?” Apple Bloom asks. Sweetie smiles slightly, “I suppose so,” she leans over and kisses the other girl. “Since when did you two decide to do that in public?” Scootaloo asks and the two girls blush. “Scoots, you been listening to our own conversation?” Apple Bloom asks. “Hey, I’ve seen you two go down on each other, so don’t go into privacy with me,” Scootaloo says. “Yeah, ya got a point there,” Apple Bloom says. “You got plans for this afternoon?” Sweetie asks. “Yeah, I’m going to hang with Dash,” Scootaloo answers. “How are things going between you two?” Sweetie asks. “We’re going as far as we can, at least you two are the same age so it’s no big deal,” Scootaloo answers. “She’s only like 2 years older than ya,” Bloom says, “I don’t see what the big deal is.” “The laws saw she’d be a pedophile if we were more than friends” “She isn’t even human anymore,” Sweetie points out, “Could they really charge her?” “I’m sure they would,” Scootaloo says, “if I could become like her, I’m sure they couldn’t charge her, cause then neither of us would be human.” Sweetie grins, “we’ll have to steal you a shard.” “I’m not sure that would work, the others all have some sort of attribute that the shards bonded with. Your sister,” she points to Apple Bloom “is honesty, yours,” she points to Sweetie “is generosity. Pinkie’s laughter, Fluttershy’s kindness, Rainbow’s loyalty, Twilight’s magic, and Sunset’s forgiveness.” “I’m sure we could find something for ya Scoots,” Apple Bloom says, “Don’t give up!” Scootaloo smiles slightly, “We’ll see.” “Come on, we’re going to be late for school,” Sweetie says and they all rush to school. -------- That afternoon the two young teens walk to Rarity’s Boutique. “Hey Sweets,” Bloom says, “Is that mah sisters truck outside the Boutique?” Sweetie sighs as she looks at the beat-up truck, “I think so.” “This is going to be bad, isn’t it?” Bloom asks. “Probably, let’s get this over with,” Sweetie says and they walk into the Boutique finding Applejack and Rarity sitting at the table. “Hello girls,” Rarity says. “We got something to tell ya,” Applejack says as she places her hand on Rarity’s. Bloom sees her sister and the fashionista holding hands and thinks ‘ma sister and sweets sister? no!’ “What… what are you two saying?” Sweetie asks hesitantly. “We're a couple, Sweetie,” Rarity says, “Maybe one day more than that.” “One day at a time there Rare,” Applejack says and Rarity nods. “So y’all wanted us to come by here so ya could tell us you were dating?” Bloom asks. Rarity nods, “we thought it’d be best to tell you before you heard from Scootaloo, as Rainbow Dash and her hang together a lot.” “Actually her and Dash are actually kind of dating,” Sweetie admits. “We already know that,” Rarity says. “Rainbow admitted as much,” Applejack adds. “I can’t believe Dash would tell ya that!” Bloom exclaims, “She could be arrested.” “Only if she goes too far,” Rarity says. Sweetie looks at Bloom tenderly and Bloom sighs before saying. “Look, I guess we should tell ya’ll sum’thin’ too.” “Whatcha ya got Bloom?” Applejack asks her sister. “Me and Sweetie, we um …” Bloom blushes. “We’re not exactly a couple per say,” Sweetie says blushing, “but we do help each other relieve tension at this time, we’re not sure where it’s going from there.” The older teens nod, “Perhaps you two should talk it over,” Rarity says, “Fluttershy and Pinkie are already engaged to be married, and it’s raised the question to the rest of us.” “Fluttershy,” Sweetie looks in shock, “and Pinkie Pie?” “And ya’ll have no problem with that?” Bloom asks hesitantly. “We’re discussing that one day we may do it ourselves,” Rarity says. “Though neither of us is ready for that right now,” Applejack says. “Maybe the two of us should think about that,” Sweetie says as she looks at Bloom. Bloom looks off in thought for a second. “Maybe we can officially start dating?” Sweetie smiles, “That sounds like a plan.”
