Sweetie Belle trotted through the alley ways she had been warned against for so long. A rustling in front of her made her jump. She considered running back until she realized it was just a raccoon rummaging through rubbish.
"Come on Sweetie Belle, not far now." she muttered to herself, taking a deep breath and continuing through the alley. Sweetie Belle sees the big building at the end and breaks into a run, desperate to get there. She knocks on the door and a kind looking woman opens it to her.
"Oh, hello. What're you doing here?" She smiles at the filly who gulps nervously.
"I'm here to see Scootaloo." she whispers. The woman allows her in.
"You know Scootaloo doesn't get many visitors, I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you." Sweetie Belle trots silently behind her, up to a small room in a tower at the top of the home.
"Scootaloo, there's someone here to see you! Go on in deary. I'll be downstairs if you need anything." Sweetie walks in and smiles at the orange filly.
"Hey Scootaloo, I don't know if you know me from scho-"
"Yeah I know you. You hang out with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. You're Sweetie Belle right? Have you come here to tease me like all the others do?" She asks, bitterness creeping into her voice. Sweetie Belle is taken aback.
"Tease you? Why in Equestria would I tease you?" She squeaks.
"Because I can't fly nitwit."
"So? I'm not very good at magic."
"Really?!" Scootaloo spins around to look at the white unicorn who stares intensely at a lamp. A green aura begin to glow around both her horn and the lamp. Sweetie Belle scrunches up her face and makes the lamp lift up, barely a centimeter, before it crashes back down. She pants as through she just ran a marathon.
"See, not good." she manages to get out. Scootaloo grins at her.
"You're not bad, you just need some practice." She laughs.
