In the town of Ponyville everything is the same as usual. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and every pony enjoyed their day along with their usual daily routine. But as for a certain filly living in her sisters boutique, the day she planned was a little different. The young filly known as SweetieBelle was in her room getting things ready for her sleepover with her friends. Everything was in place now all she needs to do is ask her sister Rarity if it's ok with her. As she prepared her sleeping bag, she heard hoof steps and some pony knocking on her door. SweetieBelle opened the door, only to reveal that it was Applebloom and Scootaloo knocking. She let her friends in and gave them a little smile "I'm glad you guys could make it, I was wondering when you girls would get here."

Scootaloo turned to her friend "Sorry we were late, we had to do a lot of dusting and rearranging for Twilight."

"It's ok girls, as long as you're here I don't even care."

Applebloom was completely oblivious for a few seconds, but then shook it off and turned to her best friend. "So, did you ask Rarity if we can have the sleepover tonight?"

"Not yet" Sweetie belle said while leaving the bedroom "but I'm going to right now, don't go anywhere ok."

Both fillies nodded their heads as their friend left the room. They quickly got bored after a few seconds and tried to find something to do while waiting on her. Scootaloo was looking through Sweetie Belle's bag wondering if she has anything to keep her distracted. While snooping around she found a book titled 'My Little Diary' and laid the book on the floor. Applebloom went to her friend wondering what she is doing. "What you got there Scootaloo? Is it something chicken related."

"Ha ha, very funny" Scootaloo said with a hint of sarcasm "It's Sweetie Belle's diary, and I was thinking we could read something out of it while SweetieBelle is talking to Rarity."

"I don't know Scootaloo? Applejack always told me to respect other ponies privacy."

"Come on Applebloom" Scootaloo said trying to reassure her friend "One page isn't gonna hurt any pony."

"Well, I guess your right about that" both of the fillies turned to page 27 of the diary and began reading.


Dear Diary

Today I saw Spike this morning coming out of the Ponyville library carrying a bunch of heavy boxes to sugar cube corner. So I helped him carry a few, saves him from getting a broken back and all. Sometimes I keep thinking that Twilight makes his work a little too hard, and doesn't give him a break. But all of that will change soon, cause by the time I admit my love to him, we get married, and he is working too hard I would let him sit back and let me do the rest of his work for him. I don't see what he see's in Rarity Anyways, he needs to start dating ponies that are the same age as him. Some pony like me for example. I don't think any pony knows it, but every morning I sneak out of the house and lay a box of chocolates at his doorstep. Maybe if I'm lucky enough, if I tell Spike I love him then maybe I might get my first kiss. Well, I better go drop that box of chocolates on his doorstep, k thanks bye.

After reading that page in her diary, the only thing that the fillies could do was just laugh their flanks off. Of course they tried to keep it down so SweetieBelle wouldn't hear it, but when they turned around, little did they know that SweetieBelle was behind them. The white filly was all teary eyed and blushing as red as a tomato, she sniffed a little bit "What are you two reading?"

Scootaloo started sweating and hid the book behind her back "O um, nothing."

"LIAR, let me see" SweetieBelle used her magic to levitate the book so she can see it in front of her. When she saw the cover of the book, she was just furious. "I.... I can't believe you two, my most trusted friends are reading MY diary in MY house."

Applebloom took a couple steps closer to her and tried to wrap her left hoof around her shoulder. But SweetieBelle smacked it away with her own hoof. "And YOU of all ponies" SweetieBelle said with rage in her voice starring at Applebloom "why didn't you keep her away from my diary?"

Applebloom tried to talk to her "SweetieBelle, we're sorry."

"SORRY? What's there to be sorry about invading MY personal bubble."

Scootaloo tried talking to her "come on Sweetie Belle, can't you just give us a chance."

"You know what? I have an idea, How about the two of you just GET OUT OF MY HOUSE."

"But..."

"I SAID GET OUT, I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU TWO AGAIN."

With that being said the two fillies ran out of the house as fast as they could, afraid of what SweetieBelle would do to them if they stayed there. SweetieBelle out of rage slammed the door, locked it, and even threw her diary in the trash. As her anger began to go down, the tears in her eyes began to pile up out of her eyes. She felt like the only thing she wanted to do was cry in her pillow and sleep in her bed until the day is over.


A few hours passed and it's getting close to dinner time. Rarity was downstairs in the kitchen making her and SweetieBelle their most favorite food of all time........... Lasagne. Rarity took the uncooked Lasagne and used her magic to levitate the tray into the oven and set the timer exactly the time it would be done cooking. Rarity noticed that SweetieBelle was spending an awful lot of time in her room and began to worry about her sister. She trotted upstairs and knocked on her bedroom door, she was expecting SweetieBelle to open the door and welcome her in. But instead she got a shut door and SweetieBelle yells "IF IT'S YOU TWO AGAIN, DON'T BOTHER COMING IN HERE."

Rarity cleared her throat a little bit "SweetieBelle it's just me, can I come in?"

The door opened with SweetieBelle's magic allowing Rarity Entry to her room. SweetieBelle had her face buried in her pillow, possibly still sobbing a little bit after what happened to her. Rarity sat next to SweetieBelle on her bed and laid her hoof around her. SweetieBelle took her face off of the pillow and made eye contact with Rarity while wiping a few tears from her eyes. "Sorry I yelled at you sis, I thought you might have been Applebloom or Scootaloo."

"It's fine darling" Rarity said as she is trying to comforting her sister "but what did your friends do anyway?"

"They...*sniff*.... They read a page off of my diary, and I saw them laughing at what I wrote in it."

"Those two read your diary? Why didn't you tell me sooner SweetieBelle?"

"Cause I thought if I did, you would be all 'well you read my diary, now look where it got you."

"O SweetieBelle" Rarity said as she tried hugging her sister "you know that I still love you no matter what you did, or have done. That's what sisters are for after all."

"Yeah *sniff* I guess so."

"Would it make you feel better if I talked to Applejack and Rainbow Dash about this?"

SweetieBelle nodded her head as she started hugging her sister letting her know that she feels better now. "Thanks Rarity, I'm glad to have a big sister like you."

"And I'm glad to have a little sister like you, now then lets go downstairs, the Lasagne is almost done."

"YAY LASAGNE."


The next day Applebloom and Scootaloo were seen trotting their way to the clubhouse without SweetieBelle. Before they started walking up the stairs Applebloom stopped Scootaloo for a minute. "Hey, you don't think SweetieBelle's still mad at us do you?"

"Are you kidding?" Scootaloo said turning her head to Applebloom "didn't you see how angry she was?"

"Well true. But It was wrong of us to read her diary and laugh like that, we owe her an apology."

"You're right, we do owe her one, I mean who knows? She might be in the clubhouse right now."

Both of the fillies went up the stairs and went through the door leading to the inside of their club house. When they shut the door they looked in front of them to see Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and SweetieBelle. In front of SweetieBelle was two books but different colors, one on the left is orange, while the other one on the right is green. Applebloom raised an eyebrow and tried smiling " Hey there SweetieBelle, we just came to tell you that we are so sorry we read your diary."

Scootaloo tried to back her up "Yeah, do you forgive us?"

SweetieBelle kept eye contact with them and started growing a devious smile "O, I do forgive you, definitely, but Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity already decided your punishment last night."

Applejack then cut in for a second "Since you two read SweetieBelle's diary, your punishment is that you two have to sit down and listen to SweetieBelle read a page off of your diaries out loud."

Applebloom and Scootaloo both had their jaws dropped to the ground after hearing what Applejack just said. Applebloom tried to convince her if they could try something different. "Come on Applejack, can't we do something else? We learned our lesson didn't we?"

"Applebloom It's either SweetieBelle reads them out loud here, or we can show it to every pony at School."

"You wouldn't dare."

Applejack raised an eyebrow "well what's it gonna be? Share your humiliation with your friends? Or share it with the entire school?"

Applebloom and Scootaloo knew that if their diaries got anywhere near a student in the school. The next thing you would know, word will spread and they will both be the laughing stocks of the entire school. They had no choice, they simply looked at SweetieBelle and told her to go ahead and read them. SweetieBelle picked up the orange book on the left with her magic and her smile got a little wider "I think I will start off with yours Applebloom." She used her magic to turn to page 34 of Applebloom's Diary and began reading out loud.

Dear Diary

Something good and bad happened to me last night and this morning. You see the best thing happened last night when I heard Applejack planning on starting a bonfire and roast marshmallow's. Every pony in my family liked bonfires, even when Big Macintosh would try and make funny faces with his marshmallow. I used my wooden stick to tease one of the woods used in the fire and Applejack told me if I kept playing with a bonfire I would wet the bed. I didn't believe her until this morning when I woke up and the bed covers were wet. I checked hoping that wet spot ain't in between my hind legs, but sadly they were. On the bright side at least Applejack washed it when I got home from School.

After reading it SweetieBelle puts the book down and gave it to Applebloom. The red haired filly didn't pick it up due to how embarrassing that was having to hear her friend read that out loud. SweetieBelle of course tried to comfort her friend "hey don't worry about it Applebloom, I wet the bed once when I was little." After hearing her say that Applebloom felt a little less embarrassed than she was before. The white filly used her magic again and picked up the green book this time "And now it's your turn Scootaloo." The white mare turned a couple pages and began reading again.

Dear Diary

Today I picked up a perfume that Rainbow Dash is sure to like. I know she is not used to the whole stylish things and all. But I'm positive this Rainbow perfume will get every pony smelling her from a distance. Right when I was going to leave home, I spilled the perfume all over my stuffed bear Mr. Stuffy wuffy. I tried washing the perfume off but the smell was as intense as a double rainbow. I hope that perfume oil doesn't ruin him, Mr. Stuffy wuffy has been my best friend since I was 2 months old. I even gave him a mask and cape so I can pretend he is a superhero."

SweetieBelle closed the book and looked at Scootaloo with a raised eyebrow "Scoots you don't need to be embarrassed about a stuffed animal. Every pony has a stuffed animal now a days, I do, you do, Applebloom does, and even Big Macintosh."

Scootaloo got up to get her book back and gave SweetieBelle an apologetic hug "Sorry for reading your diary."

Applebloom got up and joined in "Yeah, we were bad friends yesterday, can you forgive us?"

SweetieBelle finally started hugging them back "girls of course I forgive you. That's what friends are for."

The three fillies got together in a big group hug, Applebloom of course looked at the three mares for a second "Hey, how did you find our diaries Anyways?"

Applejack gave them an answer "That's easy, Rainbow Dash got them for us."

Rainbow Dash then cuts in for a minute "Yep, and I even looked at the diaries and told SweetieBelle what page to read."

Soon every ponies attention was now at Rainbow Dash, giving her the same nasty glare. Applejack the turned her attention to Rarity "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Rarity then turned her attention to Applejack "you tie her up while I find her diary."

"You bet ya partner."

The three fillies then asked Applejack "what about us?"

"While Rarity gets the Diary, the three of you get to watch me tie Rainbow Dash up."

All three of the fillies shouted with joy "YAY, RAINBOW DASH IS GONNA GET TIED UP."


The End
