Rarity finds a box in the rain, with a baby Sweetiebelle in it. Follow her through life, through Rarity's, and Sweetiebelle's view.
The story starts with a rainstorm. Rarity spots some old box outside, and investigates. She finds a crying filly inside, named Sweetiebelle. She raises Sweetie from sad, lonely filly, To an adult, and strong mare. What will become of Rarity and Sweetiebelle? Only this story will tell...
A lot of people think Sweetiebelle is Rarity's sister. Wrong. It started on a rainy night, cold and feirce. Rarity was inside watching the rain pour. "Wow... It's really pouring out th-", Rarity was interupted as she saw a box outside. Rarity didn't know why... But it caught her attention almost instantly. Rarity HAD to investigate.
Rarity got her pretty purple rain coat on, and walked to her door. She sighed, "Okay... It's just rain... So long as it doesn't mess up my mane "ill be fine." She said, opening the door with her magic. She walked over to the soiled box, her hooves splishing on the ground. She noticed the tarp over it. How hideous. She lifted the tarp, and nearly had a heart attack. Inside... Is a shaking and crying filly.
Rarity instantly picked up the box with her magic, and took it inside. "What is a little filly like you doing out there in the storm?" Rarity said, examining for some sort of note. She picked up the crying filly, and wrapped a blanket around her. She looked back into the box, and found a note and toy.
She gave the white coated, purple/pink maned filly the purple pony plushie, and picked up the note. 'Dear who ever finds this filly, I'm sorry I couldn't keep her for fear of my own and her own safety. If you find this and she's already passed... I'm sorry... It's not my fault. Her name is Sweetiebelle... Take good care of my baby.' Rarity finished the note, almost crying over it. She held the filly close until stopped crying.
She put the filly in the high chair SHE was fed in as a filly. She went into her kitchen, and opened the fridge. She searched until she found some milk and a bottle. She heated the milk, and fed the baby Sweetiebelle. "I feel so sorry for this filly!" Rarity thought aloud.
When Sweetie was done, she took the bottle out, and handed it to Rarity, who levitated it to the table. Rarity put the baby on the floor, and sat and played with her. She'd pin her down softly, and tickle her. They'd play peek-aboo, and take turns doing something with magic, even though Sweetiebelle couldn't really use magic, Rarity would always cheer and clap.
Sweetiebelle would try to use her magic, and then she'd give up and make a frown, but Rarity always made her smile again.
When it was bedtime, Rarity lifted the filly up, and took her to her bedroom. She placed the filly on the bed, and climbed in with her. She moved the blanket over them, and turned the lights off.
2 weeks later, Sweetiebelle had met all of Rarity's friends, and was learning to make noises and pronounce some words. Rarity played with her in her bedroom, until she had to get food for the both of them. She carried Sweetie into the dining room, and went into the kitchen. Rarity searched around until she heard a loud THUNK and giggling.
Rarity ran into the other room, where she saw a tipped over high chair, and a magic-flying filly. Rarity gasped, and smiled. "Good job, darling!" Rarity said, right as a poof was heard, and Sweetie fell down onto the table, and then the floor.
Rarity gasped, and ran over to the screaming filly. "Sh-sh-sh-shhhh! You're okay, baby! You're fine now, mommy's here!" She said, rocking the baby. Sweetie continued to cry and hold her mother as she was rocked.
After an hour, Sweetie calmed down. Rarity put Sweetie onto her bed, and tickled her. Sweetie was laughing in the normal filly manner. " 'Top it! It 'tickews'!" Sweetie said, in between giggles. Rarity was smiling at how happy her filly was.
Rarity tickled Sweetie until Sweetie hitting Rarity's hooves and saying 'Stop it' in her filly voice. "Mommy... I stiw hungee." Sweetie said. Rarity almost slapped herself. In all of the events that happened, she forgot to feed her! She went into the kitchen holding her tiny filly, and ggot her fed. After that, they played until it was bedtime. Rarity, who was tired herself, put the sleeping filly on the bed, and laid next to her, and fell asleep.
It was Hearths Warming Day, the day of snow! Rarity, a few months back, learned about Rainbow Dash and Applejack both finding fillies in boxes... Weird. However... Today would Sweetiebelle would have her first encounter with snow! "Sweetiebelle, do you want to see something outside?" Rarity said to the filly under the blanket. Sweetie nodded.
Rarity put some winter clothes on Sweetie, and herself, and went outside holding the filly. When they were outside, the filly was holding herself up by Rarity's fore leg, and was looking everywhere. To her, it was beautiful.
Sweetie started squirming. "Sweetiebelle, hold on. If you jump down, you could fall and get hurt." Rarity said to the filly. Rarity put the filly on the ground, who instantly grabbed onto her mother's fore leg when she felt the snow.
"It's fine, honey. It won't hurt you." Rarity said, moving Sweetie away from her. Sweetie took it careful, making sure nothing would hurt her. Sweetie then giggled as she lifted snow with her hooves, and dropped it. She started pounding it into a pile, then throwing the pile up. Sweetie soon grew bored of pile making, and decided to jump around. Rarity then began looking around at the joy of every pony. She saw Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Applejack, and Applebloom having a snowball fight.
"Be careful, Sweetie! You could slip and fall." Rarity said, turning back to Sweetie, who was bounding around. She was giggling and waving her fore legs when she jumped. On her thirteenth jump, her fore legs slipped behind her, and she fell down chin first. She looked over at Rarity with tears forming.
Sweetie cried loudly as Rarity ran over. She picked up Sweetie, and cradled her as she took her inside. "Calm down, honey. It's okay, It's okay. Sh-sh-sh." Rarity said soothingly. Sweetiebelle cried and cried and cried. The tears fell for hours until Sweetie simmered down. Sweetie sniffled and shook for thirty more minutes, and then decided: Slippery white stuff=Bad.
It was 5 years later. Sweetiebelle had been told about school, and how it might be scary at first, but it's not that bad. Sweetie just accepted it. On the way to school, the 2 had a talk of what to and what not to do at school. They arrived at the classroom, a pretty room. With a sign outside, labeled: 'Mrs. Cheerilee's Room'. "Have a lovely day, baby. Love you." Rarity said, kissing Sweetie goodbye, and giving her her lunch.
The phone rang at 1:45 PM. Rarity picked it up. Rarity didn't expect to instantly hear a voice: "I have some news to report. It's tragic news. Today at school, a rainbow maned mare attacked a teacher. We need you to come and get your filly, now!" Said the panicked voice.
Rarity arrived at school, and got a crying Sweetiebelle. "It's going to be alright, baby... All will be well soon!" Rarity said, walking Sweetie home.
Years went by, Sweetie was fully grown, cutie mark and all. She had a job, she had a boyfriend, and she mourned the loss of the one she loved the most. Rarity had passed away after a battle with cancer. Sweetiebelle cried every day for 3 months after Rarity was gone... Until a stallion named Dusk Racer showed up. Dusk was always supportive... And then he asked Sweetie out. She accepted.
It was perfect from then on. Sweetie got her cutie mark as a painting on an easel, and Dusk got his as a sunset. They moved in together, and they were happy. Rarity would've wanted this; For Sweetie to settle down, get her cutie mark, and live a happy life.
Many years went by. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Dusk had all passed away. They will be missed by all three of the crusaders. Now... They're each in their seventies, and their ready to move into the afterlife.
