Chapter 7: YOU DID WHAT!?

"YOU DID WHAT!?" shouted Sweetie Belle.

"We entered ya into the school talent show," said Apple Bloom.

"You're gonna sing in front of the entire school," continued Scootaloo.

After recovering from her cold, Sweetie Belle was back in school. In a rare day off for Apple Bloom, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were back in their clubhouse, when Sweetie Belle was given the news by her best friends.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?" Sweetie Belle continued to yell. "You know I can't sing in front of a large crowd!"

"But yer so good, Sweetie," said Apple Bloom. "You never miss a beat or note."

"AHRG!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle. "It's one thing singing in front of you guys! Or my sister! Or my parents!"

"Or Spike," chucked Scootaloo.

That comment caused Sweetie Belle to turn bright red.

"What are you talking about?" said Sweetie Belle nervously.

"We're not as dumb as you think, Sweets," said Scootaloo. "We know you and Spike are dating."

"H-h-how!?" she asked.

"We saw ya two rubbin noses together one day," said Apple Bloom. "Ya thought nobody could see ya."

"It's like when Rainbow Dash rubs noses with Tank," snickered Scootaloo. "It's kinda gross, but I gotta admit it's cute too."

"Aw man! This is so embarassing!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle, still glowing red.

"Nothin to be ashamed of," said Apple Bloom. "We're glad ya'll are gettin along."

"And hey, you can have him come to the talent show and watch you sing," said Scootaloo.

"NO WAY!" she shouted again. "I haven't even sang in front of Spike!"

"WHAT!?" exclaimed Scootaloo and Apple Bloom.

"I-I haven't sang for him," she said nervously. "I get too shy."

"But who better ta sing for than yer special somepony?" asked Apple Bloom.

"But, I don't wanna be on stage alone," pouted Sweetie Belle.

"Ya won't be," said Apple Bloom. "We'll be up there with ya."

"Really?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"Well no duh!" exclaimed Scootaloo. "We're gonna help with sets, and singing with you, and Rarity is gonna make costumes for us."

"Of course Rarity knows," said Sweetie Belle.

"Spike knows too," grinned Scootaloo.

"AW COME ON!" shouted Sweetie Belle. "Was I the last to learn about this!? I'm the one singing in it for Celestia's sake!"

Later on, Sweetie Belle headed back to the Carousel Boutique to talk with her older sister. Rarity, immediately noticed the grumpy look on her little sisters face.

"I take it from that expression that your friends have given you the marvelous news?" she coily asked.

"I'd hardly call it marvelous!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle. "They know, and you know, that I'm nervous singing in front of large crowds."

"Yes, of course I do, Sweetie," said Rarity, embracing her sister. "But, you certainly have a gift, and it would be such a shame to not share it with everypony else. And I'm sure you'd love Spikey Wikey to see you sing as well."

"You know about that too!?" exclaimed Sweetie Belle. "I can't believe this! So embarassing!"

Rarity, while understanding the plight of her sister, couldn't help but giggle. And then Spike came in, giving Sweetie Belle a soilid hug.

"I've been waiting for you to get back!" exclaimed Spike. "Are you as excited as I am!?"

"That's not exactly the word I'm thinking right now," grumbled Sweetie Belle.

"Aw, don't think like that," said Spike. "You're an amazing singer."

"You've never even heard me sing," said Sweetie Belle.

"But Apple Bloom and Scootaloo have told me about it," said Spike. "So just from that, I know it's gonna be great!"

This gave Sweetie Belle a little smile, knowing her special somepony believed in her.

"I'm glad you believe in me, Spike," she said. "But I'm still nervous."

"Look at it this way," said Spike. "The day you sing in the show, imagine it's just me you're singing for. I'll be in the front row, watching you perform."

This caused Sweetie Belle to turn bright red, and then beat red when Spike nuzzled her snout.
