Sweetie Belles Short Return

Golden Bow poured cold water on Flameheart. Golden Delicious put a sparkler on Snowflake.

"Why did you do that?" Melody asked angrily.

"Because it's funny." Golden Bow sneered.

"Fif, can you grab Flame for me," Melody asked before levitating the water off Flameheart and marking it vanish.

"Sure," Fifer said.

"You two are losers." Golden Delicious said.

The Golden duo left to go to their class. Melody and Fifer carried their sisters to Raritys classroom.

"Will they be alright?" Fifer and Melody asked in unison both of them concerned.

"I don't know. It looks worse than ever before." Rarity said.

"I don't want them to die," Melody said.

"Don't worry, let's go through the usual routines." Rarity said.

Hours later in Royalty.....

"Today we are taking a test," Fluttershy said.

"Do we have to?" Pupa asked.

"Yes," Fluttershy said.

"But we are new." Larva said.

"That doesn't matter to me," Fluttershy said.

"Aren't you suppose to represent kindness?" Larva asked.

"I thought that the element of kindness would be nicer." Pupa said.

"I'm taking away ten points from your grades," Fluttershy said.

"They have a point you know," Fifer said.

"No one asked you," Fluttershy said angrily.

Sweetie Belle entered the room wearing a light green dress with a yellow necklace.

"Sorry that I didn't knock. I just wanted to see my kids." Sweetie Belle said.

"How long is tho visit going to be?" Melody asked.

"I have a performance tonight and I have to leave afterward." Sweetie Belle said.

"Can't you stay longer?" Fifer asked.

"No sorry." Sweetie Belle said.

"We are going to be taking a test," Fluttershy said.

"Sometimes I wish you didn't do it." Sweetie Belle said.

"Do what? Tell them to take a test?" Fluttershy asked.

"No, be mean." Sweetie Belle said.

"I'm not being mean," Fluttershy said.

"I heard what you were saying before I opened the door." Sweetie Belle said.

"Can you cover for me well I go talk to Derpy?" Fluttershy asked.

"You mean well you go and talk to a pony and nonpony?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"You're annoying sometimes," Fluttershy said before exiting the class.

"Where are Flames and Snowy?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"With aunt Rarity," Fifer said.

"Do you princesses and princes what to hear how I met Gavin at the gala?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Yeah." the class said.

"It was after I sang my song when he bumped into being." Sweetie Belle said.

"Then what?" Mia asked excitedly.

"We chatted a lot that night. Before I left he asked me to be his mare friend." Sweetie Belle said with a little giggle.

"Then you said yes right?" Surprise asked.

"Not quite." Sweetie Belle.

"What do you mean?" Dusk Shine and Robert asked in unison.

"I told him that I would have to think about it." Sweetie Belle.

"When did you say yes?" Dusk Shine asked curiously.

"Two weeks later I found him and said I would love for him to be my special someone." Sweetie Belle said.

"Lier," Shuddercord said.

Sweetie Belle glared at Shuddercord before clearing her throat and smiling.

At Chrysalises...

"What do you want?" Chrysalis asked angrily.

"Chrissy, do you trust me?" Fluttershy asked.

"No and never call me Chrissy," Chrysalis said.

"Why not?" Fluttershy asked.

"You abandoned me," Chrysalis said her voice cracking a little.

"I didn't abandon you," Fluttershy said.

"Just leave me alone," Chrysalis said with tears coming out of her eyes.

"Do you trust me, Chrissy?" Fluttershy asked again touching Chrysalis's face.

"I don't know and stop calling me that," Chrysalis said looking at Fluttershy's teal eyes.

"In four years our promise is off," Fluttershy said angrily.

At Cozys...

"Hi Fluttershy, how are you?" Cozy asked.

"Good, do Petula and Thunder know what you've done?" Fluttershy asked.

"No, and I hope they don't for a while," Cozy said.

Later after Sweetie Belles song...

"That was amazing," Gavin said.

"Thank you hon." Sweetie Belle said before kissing her husband.

"Are you at least going to stay for dinner?" Fifer asked.

"I can't." Sweetie Belle said.

"Where's your next show?" Melody asked.

"Baltimare." Sweetie Belle said.

"When is your next show in Ponyville?" Gavin asked.

"I don't know." Sweetie Belle said.

"If you saw Trixie can you say hi for me?" Maud asked.

"Sure thing." Sweetie Belle said.

"Is her tour almost over." a grey unicorn filly asked hopefully.

"Yes," Maud said with a small smile.

"Too much magic," Derp said shivering.

"It's ok." Posey and Muffin said in unison putting their wings around Derp.

I hate magic it's terrifying." Deep said.

"It will be alright." Muffin said.

"I wish you would stay longer." Rarity said to her sister.

"I know sis." Sweetie Belle said.

"The girls hardly know you. When you get the chance you should spend time with them." Gavin said.

"I got to go." Sweetie Belle said kissing her husband again before teleporting away.

"Mauxie we should be getting home," Maud said to the grey unicorn.

"Ok, mom," Mauxie said.

"See you later Maxie," Mia said to Mauxie.

"Take care," Maud said.

"What's wrong Shudders?" Deedee asked.

"It's nothing," Shuddercord said.

"I know somethings wrong. If it makes you uncomfortable I wouldn't ask again." Deedee said.

"Thank you, I could never ask for a better friend," Shuddercord said hugging her best friend.

"No problem," Deedee said before pulling out of the hug.

"Did we miss her?" Flameheart asked out of breath next to her were Snowflake, her cousins, and her uncle Sombra.

"Yeah." Rarity said sadly.

"I wish she stayed longer," Gavin said.

"Can someone tell us more about her?" Snowflake asked.

"When we were fourteen or so Sweetie Belle disappeared for two weeks," Scootaloo said.

"When she returned she acted as if nothing happened. Then something weird happened." Apple Bloom said.

"Our cutie marks changed." Scootaloo and Apple Bloom said in unison.

"I wish I knew where she went for those two weeks." Rarity said.

"I know where she went," Cozy said.

"Where?" Rarity asked.

"It was after they moved my cell. I saw a unicorn with light green magic taking samples from the creatures." Cozy said.

"Did you see the face?" Rarity asked curiously.

"I saw that she had light green eyes," Cozy said.

"Are you sure that it was her?" Gavin asked.

"I'm sure. There aren't many ponies which light green eyes and magic. Also, I heard her hum." Cozy said.

"Why would she have been there?" Rarity asked.

"For a spell that she knew she could only cast where there are lots of evil creatures. It might have been for a spell that is forbidden now." Rainbow said.

"Why would she do a spell-like that and how do you know about forbidden magic?" Rarity and Twilight asked in unison.

"To find a way to save Equestria and beyond from a major battle," Rainbow said.

"I think it might have caused her to think she was gone for two or more hours and was surprised when she found out how long she was really gone for," Derpy said.

"What do you think happened to our cutie marks," Scootaloo asked.

"I don't know," Derpy said.

"Has it ever happened before?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't think so," Twilight said.

"I think it has," Derpy said.

"When?" Scootaloo asked.

"It was said to be along time ago," Derpy said.

"Who was it?" Scootaloo asked.

"It was...." Derpy said before she was interrupted.

"Nothing you need to know right now," Cozy said.

"Why not?" Scootaloo and Apple Bloom asked in unison.

"You will find out when the time is right," Cozy said.

"Fine." Apple Bloom and Scootaloo said in unison unsatisfied.

"Wait how can a cutie mark change? Party Lights and Dawn Pie asked in unison.

"I don't know," Derpy said.

"Do you think Sweetie Belle caused the cutie marks to be different?" Tina asked.

"Kind of," Derpy said.

"How do you all know so much about this?" Dawn Pie asked.

"Time travel," Derpy said lying.

"How does Rainbow know?" Muffin asked.

"I've heard her talk about it," Rainbow said and began rubbing her hooves.

"Liers," Shuddercord said.

"I was kind of telling the truth," Rainbow said.

"But Derpy wasn't," Shuddercord said.

"The truth is a bit complicated," Derpy said.

"I should be getting back to work. Bye." Pumpkin said walking towards Sugarcube Corner.
