Now Sweetie Belle will have to sing and make her sister proud in front of hundreds of strangers. Gulp.

Nice! Great comedic, sappy story.
I like this so far!
I love Sweetie Belle~
Awwww, such a sweet and adorable story! Gotta love Scottaloo and Apple Blooms's quick thinking!
That was a lovely, quick read. I hope to see more from you!
Glad to see this posted.
Um, not a lot else to say without repeating myself. Good job? Good job. Good job!
1959133 So do I.
Don't anyone of yoy dare accuse Fluttershy of making Sweetie Belle nervous on purpose, just because Rarity didn't help her overcome her nervousness one time doesn't mean she'd do it to someone else.
You can do it Sweetie Belle.
OH COME ON, really?!
This started out good but then the last two chapters just killed it. You can do better than that.
Okay, I didn't see that coming, even though it was the obvious choice of events.
It's so refreshing to take a break and read something that's just a story, that doesn't try to be anything more than it is. Everything was well done, but to imply that it was crafted kinda of feels off... no, everything came together very well to present a light, sweet, simple story. A good read that captures that bit of warmth just right.
Very cute but feels a bit mean to Rarity. She is supposed to be the element of Generosity y'know?
Oh, Rarity. Your ability to utterly fail to learn from your mistakes is the stuff of legends.
Fluttershy really shouldn't do pep talks
Perfect ending to a great story!
1959987 Of course Fluttershy didn't mean anything, she's quite a good pony.
So...no Sweetie Belle singing alone?
The beginning of this story was good, but then things seemed to rush by too much!
Though I'm not trying to complain, I'm just pointing that out for your good. I'm sure you didn't mean anything. I'm a very forgiving person.

As if on cue, Rarity burst into the kitchen. A piece of paper was floating in front of her face, held by her magic. Her sleep mask was still over one eye, making her look, Sweetie Belle thought, a little like a very fashionable pirate. funniest bite in the story
That's cool, how you reflected Applejack's soberness towards Rainbow Dash's blunt wit through Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
You have a very captivating writing style. I really enjoyed that little yarn ^.^
This was a very cute story. It was short but nicely written. I do imagine Sweetie Belle being shy, but we all know her talent is gonna be singing. It has to be. I also like how you stayed true to the characters you used in the story and how you showed the sweet bond between the CMC and Rarity and Sweetie Belle. I don't recall any errors. This is the best Sweetie Belle story I've read yet. Most have made me either cringe or bored. Very good job!
