A Reunion to Remember

"Do I have to go to this?" Cord asked as he dragged his hooves behind me.

"Can you just put up with it for me?" I asked he looked up and smirked.

"I didn't know we were a couple." He said I could feel the blood rushing to my face. I pondered the idea to say we were but I ended up waiting to long to respond.

"Yes you do so just put up with it." Sapphire said. He groaned as we walked into the convention center, Applebloom and Babs greeted us along with Applejack. I turned around and noticed that Cord had vanished, I looked around and spotted him across the street performing with a pony who was using a bucket as a drum along with another pony who was playing the saxophone.

"Um Sweetie Belle ya look mad." Applebloom said I walked across the street and she and Babs followed me.

"Um Cord am I interrupting something?" I asked he paid me no attention and continued playing a crowd began to form around them. Applebloom and Babs began to dance around to the music. When it was over I used my magic to grab Cord by the ear and pull him back to the reunion.

"Ow Sweetie Belle cut it out." He said

"Is he your new boyfriend or something?" Babs asked

"I wish." I said I realized what I said and they stared at me. "I mean he wishes." I said nervously and let go of Cord's ear.

"You know that really hurts." He said and Babs swooped in right to him.

"So he's available." She said with a grin and Cord looked at me for help but I decided I would leave it to him for the ditching me thing. We walked into the party Rarity was off with Applejack Cord stayed towards the edges while Babs hit on him and Applebloom and I hung out .

"So Spike broke up with ya?" She asked I nodded as I drank some cider. "That has alcohol in it ya know." Applebloom pointed out as I finished the glass. I felt a little dizzy, my mind began a little foggy,

"I'm fine." I said Applebloom rolled her eyes. We left soon after that Rarity was wasted so we had to carefully take her back to the hotel it wasn't till I got into my bed I realized that somepony was missing. The bad part was I was tipsy, I got out of my bed and stumbled to the elevator I went down and out of the building. I couldn't help but think that Cord was going to be a bigger issue than I thought. I stumbled through the crowds of ponies till I came a cross him. He had gotten into a fight, he had a black eye. I helped him back our room well it was actually more like him helping me. We got into our room I got some ice and levitated it on his eye.

"Thanks." He said we sat together on the couch, I couldn't help but stare into the one blue eye he had open. He stared back into mine, I leaned in to kiss him but I stopped myself just before I was about to make contact.

"I'm sorry." He said before walking back to his room. I was the one who started it and he said sorry, what was wrong with me! I yelled in my head why couldn't I just tell him how I feel, it was so easy with Spike but with him I can barely speak. I decided it was just alcohol talking and went to bed. The next morning I had a press conference, I got myself ready I was wearing a nice dress Cord on the other hand was wearing a hoodie. We walked out of the hotel behind Sapphire and Rarity neither one of us spoke to each other.

"Sweetie Belle is it true you have connections with the Apple family?" One reporter asked

"Yes I do." I replied

"Are you and duet partner dating?" Another one asked it seemed to be the most popular topic.

"No we aren't, we're both single." I said

"Cord someponies saw you performing on the streets what's the deal and where was Sweetie Belle."

"Um well they were good so I jumped in and they just went along with it and well Sweetie Belle was across the street catching up with her old friend." He said then all the reporters hands shot up.

"How do you feel about Sweetie Belle?" one reporter asked and Cord gave them the greatest answer ever.

"Pass." He said the reporter looked confused. "That's my business not yours."

"Um well okay then," The reporter said shyly and Sapphire took the microphone.

"I'll answer any further questions along with Rarity." She said and Cord and I were escorted through the crowd.

"So about last night." Cord said was he going to confess his feelings to me! I hoped so. "Sorry I was a bit drunk." He replied I played it off.

"It's fine really we both were, so what do you wanna do?" I asked he looked a little depressed.

"Something's come up Sweetie Belle." He said nervously.

"What is it?" I asked but I wasn't ready for what came next it was as though the world stood still.

"Look I meant to tell you last night but I need to go back to Ponyville for my brothers funeral." He said my heart stopped.

"I'll come with you." I said I couldn't imagine a life without my sister so I knew this must be hard for him. I placed my hoof on his shoulder and he brushed it off.

"No you stay here and perform. I can handle it myself." I couldn't believe it he was always one to give help but now he wasn't going to accept it.

"NO!" I yelled at him he looked up stunned. "You've always helped me with everything now it's my turn to repay the favor." I said calmly.

"Then stay here and perform I'll just hop back on the tour when it comes to Ponyville." He said smiling in the way that made me feel warm inside.

"Promise me you won't do anything stupid." I said he smirked

"Your to cute when your worry." He said I turned bright red. "Give Sapphire my regards." and with that he left me again. I was determined to make this the best concert I could. I went back to the hotel and waited for Sapphire and Rarity to come back. When they did I explained everything to them they understood and decided I made the right choice to stay here. The concert went on as planned, the next stop on our trip was the Crystal Empire. But in order to get there we were going to make a stop in Ponyville, not only to pick up Cord but to do a secret show. I couldn't wait to see home again, even though Spike was gong to be there. I go off the train not to the crowd that was usually there but to Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight, my old teacher Cheerilee, and.........Spike. Of everypony why him even Diamond Tiara would've been better.

"Hey Sweetie Belle can we talk?" He asked I walked right passed him, to the shock of everypony. I just wanted to see if I could find Cord. "Look I'm sorry." He said I turne daround and smacked him with my hoof.

"We're through." I said before storming off. I found myself walking to the old clubhouse when I came to it. I almost began to cry out of remembering all the good times I had there.

"Hey I heard your train got back." I turned to see Cord there I hugged him.

"How are you?" I asked

"I'm fine." He replied as we walked back into town. I missed having Applebloom and Scootaloo around I began to wonder if they felt the same way. Cord had a smile on his face I thought it was out of place for what had just happened to him but we had a show to prepare for tonight. The show was going to be held in the town hall. I entered before Cord.

"Surprise!" Everypony in my class jumped out including Scootaloo and Applebloom. I was so surprised I didn't expect this at all I guess that why's it a surprise.

"Who's idea was this?" I asked

"Well it was short of everypony's." Applebloom said as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked over to me.

"We're sorry for bullying you." They said could this day get any better. The party started I was dancing with Applebloom and Scootaloo when I noticed that Cord was missing. I was beginning to hate the fact he did this.

"Hey Sweetie Belle where are you going?" Scootaloo called out to me.

"We're missing a pony." I replied

"Button Mash is already here." Applebloom said I rolled my eyes.

"Not him Cord he was part of our club to you know." I said and they nodded in agreement. The three of us went off to find him, soon the whole class was looking for him even though most of them never actually knew him.

"YOU IDIOT!" I heard a pony sob I wen to the old music store it was up for lease, the door was open inside was Cord he was crying. "Why didn't you tell me." He cried I was about to go in after him but Applebloom stopped me.

"Let him carry on." She said it was hard for me to do and soon the others joined us. Finally I pushed past Applebloom and sat next to Cord. I didn't know what to do in this situation so finally I put hoof around him and after awhile he stopped. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, he brushed my hoof off and left the store. I didn't bother to run after him I thought it would be best if he had some time alone. I found myself walking around with Scootaloo and Applebloom talking about what we were up to. Applebloom was about to leave to some new continent and Scootaloo was about to go several week long training exercise. It was great catching up with them, but I was still worried about Cord. I actually got to sleep in my own bed that night I had missed it among the several other things.

"What we're doing a free show tomorrow!?" I was shocked that we were. Sapphire smiled at me like she had a plan.

"Well more like Cord and you not me of course I'll open for you. Regardless yes anypony can come for free."

"But I haven't seen Cord since last night." I pointed out

"IS that so?" Cord said as he walked in he was in a better mood.

"You sure you can do this?" I asked and he smirked

"Yeah no problem." He reassured me. I went along with it but secretly I was worried that he was going to break down on stage. Regardless we went on with Sapphire's plan. The stage was set up in the middle of town, unlike the other ones I had performed on it was circular which was weird. It didn't bug Cord though, he got up and started playing his guitar and moved around the stage to get a feel for it. I got up with him and began singing, we ended up attracting a crowd. When we were done I kissed him, the crowd cheered as I did when I parted it his face was bright red. This time I didn't have a the I was drunk excuse. We walked off stage together, I was still in shock that I actually did that in front of all those ponies.

"So I didn't know we were a couple." He said with a grin.

"Well we are now." I had nothing better to say sadly. That night we performed are best to the whole town of Ponyville, everything was perfect we even danced together. At the end of the concert we stayed for the after party for once.

"Sweetie Belle you were amazing!" Pinkie Pie said I thanked her as she jumped up and down. "You were alright Cord." I laughed at Pinkie's comment. Cord rolled his eyes and joined me in signing autographs. I felt like I was on top of the world and nopony could knock me down! Next stop The Crystal Empire!
