> Secrets of the school > by Serenity Darkmoon Raven > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1- The new pony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to God for helping me make this. It was early morning in Ponyville, the giant and yellow, sun was shining bright, there were no white and puffy clouds in the sky. The sky shines a blue hue. One filly was walking to school with her big sister, Rarity. A mare with purple mane, white coat, and three blue diamonds. Sweetiebell had an excited look on her face, her grin was big. She can't wait to meet the new filly that will be attending her school from now on. Meanwhile, Rarity had a tired look on her face, she spend all night making outfits for Sapphire Shores. Sapphire Shores was going to perform in Ponyville, next Thursday, she even promised to give away free merchandise and even give out autograph. She never preformed in Ponyville before so this occasion was super special, also Sapphire Shores also wanted the outfits to be perfect for her first show in Ponyville. Rarity looked over to Sweetiebell said in a tired tone, "Have.. a- a nice day at school, SweetieBell.. and be nice to the new filly attending your class.." "I'll be good!" SweetieBell replied in a happy tone, she had a happy look on her face, and her eyes were closed. She then hopped inside the school as Rarity walked away and groaned about the tons of work she got to do. SweetieBell can't wait to meet the new filly, she has been excited about that since last Friday when Mrs. Cheerlie announced that there will be a new student. SweetieBell walked inside, the room was filled with wooden desk on the left side of the school, Mrs. Cheerlie's desk and the giant blackboard is in the right side of the room. SweetieBell then saw her friends, Apple Bloom an earth pony with a yellow coat, red hair and a pink bow on her hair. She saw her friend Scootaloo who was sitting on Apple Bloom's right side. Scootaloo was a Pegasus who had an orange coat and purple mane. Then she angrily groaned as she saw the two earth ponies that mercilessly bully her, one earth pony was Diamond Tiara. Diamond Tiara had a pink coat and pink hair with white highlights. She was mean and loved bullying and teasing ponies for not having cutiemarks or just cause she's bored. Silver Spoon, a gray filly with gray mane and wears a necklace around her neck, she goes along with Diamond Tiara's plans and is usually her yes pony. Sweetie Bell was tired of being bullied by them, along with her friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo for not having cutiemarks. She walks to her usual desk that is left of Apple Bloom and hops to her desk. She wears a smile on her face, Scootaloo had a bored look on her face and Apple Bloom had a happy look on her face. Then, after a few moments, Mrs. Cheerlie walks inside the school. She had a purple coat and white mane, she had three sunflowers as her cutiemark. She wore a happy look on her face, she was walking to her desk. She then looked around the classroom, she had a curious look on her face.. she was seeing who's here and who is absent. Usually everypony is in class but today Dinky wasn't here, she was sick, her mother, Derpy told Mrs. Cheerlie that Dinky has the flu. Her face was glowing green, she is coughing and sneezing a lot, not to mention, complains about a sore throat and have a puffy and stuff nose. So sadly, she couldn't come to class today. After a few minutes, she wrote down the names of the ponies here in the classroom, after that's done. She puts the clipboard down and looks up to the class, she had a happy look on her face, she cleared her throat and said, "Good morning, everypony.. so as I told you last week, you may be getting a new classmate, he is from Canterlot.. he then decided move here and will be joining you all for today and from now on, so be nice to him!" She had a upset look on her face, she warned, "Don't bully or be hostile to the new student, please make him feel welcome, or you'll be in big trouble, this school has a zero- tolerance policy on bullying and harassment!" She then glanced at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with an annoyed look, then said in a scolding tone, "I am looking at you, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, you bullied many students in the past. She hoofpalmed remembering those dreadful moments. There was one important event that stick out to her like a sore thumb. It's when a year ago, we used to have a student named Tiny Tumbler, and you two were bullying him for not having a cutiemark unlike you two clowns in diapers.." She then continued in an angry tone, "Not to mention, that you bullied him so much and made him go home crying and angry, he had to switch classes.. and you two were suspended for two months! so don't repeat that mistake again!" Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes and responded, "Don't worry, we won't.. we learn our lesson!" she then closed her eyes and nodded her head. She then opened her eyes and started snickering, along with her friend Silver Spoon. Mrs. Cheerlie stopped looking at the two bullies and looked at the class and then said, "So, let's give a warm welcome to..." right on cue, the new pony came inside the school, he had a worried look on his face. He has an reddish-orange coat, and yellow hair. He doesn't have a cutiemark and has cute, and stunning magenta eyes. He walks to the front of the class. He nervously wave one of his hooves to the class. Mrs. Cheerlie then said, "Smooth Fury!" The ponies clapped their hooves, some ponies like Apple Bloom said, "Welcome to class, Smooth Fury!" some ponies even waved back to Smooth Fury even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Everypony was clapping and welcoming Smooth Fury into the class, but one. Her name is, Sweetie Bell. She wasn't trying to be rude or had any wrong intention, she blushed and had hearts in her eyes, she admires how cute Smooth Fury's eyes are and how cute he is in general. She likes his smooth and amazing mane. She then sighs and whispers, "He is so... cute!" Scootaloo looked over to SweetieBell and asked, "Sorry, what did you say, I didn't understand you!" SweetieBell blushed pink out of embarrassment and blurted out, "Nothing, nothing... sorry!" Scootaloo shrugged and looked back at the front of the class. The ponies were still clapping and saying welcome and encouragements. The cheering and clapping stopped when Mrs. Cheerlie then asked Smooth Fury, in a curious tone, "Smooth Fury, tell us a bit of yourself, so we can know you a bit better!" Smooth Fury had a worried and scared look on his face, there was a short silence on class, Mrs. Cheerilie felt embarrass because she thought she just made the new pony uncomfortable. Smooth Fury sighed and looked up to the class. Smooth Fury said in a sufficient and scared tone, "I am from Canterlot.. I like to read sifi and horror books.. and I enjoy to sing.. sometimes or rarely.." SweetieBell blurted out, "I- like to sing.. too.." she then sit back down and blush pink since she was embarrassed about what she just did. He then cracked a small smile on his face. Smooth Fury said, "That's cool!" he had a calm look on his face and was calmer than before. He cracked a small smile and is happy he found a pony who almost shares the same interest as him. While this was happening, SweetieBell admiring Smooth Fury, his eyes, his amazing looks and how cute he was to her. Mrs. Cheerlie said in a happy tone, "Well, there is a empty seat by.. SweetieBell.. you can sit by her.. and she is a good student, you can learn a lot from her.." SweetieBell blushed a little bit when she heard those words, she felt flattered by them. She blushed a bit red as she watches Smooth Fury walk over and sit on the desk, on her right. Smooth Fury looked over, SweetieBell and Smooth Fury's eyes meet, there was a small silence among them. After a short second, Smooth Fury reached out his hoof and said in a nervous tone, "I am... Smooth Fury, what.. i- is your name, miss?" he glances at SweetieBell's green, beautiful eyes. Sweetie Bell reached out for his hoof and said, "My... n- name is Sweetie Bell.. you.. you.. l- look.. am- amazing. today!" she then started to blush a bit more than before. They both chuckle for a little bit. Smooth Fury replied in a nervous tone, "Well, nice- nice to meet you, Mrs. SweetieBell.." he said while he and SweetieBell shook hooves. SweetieBell then said in a flirting tone, "Y- you.. l.. look nice today.." Smooth Fury blush and said, "You look.. nice too!" > Chapter 2- recess > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the lesson was over and after lunch, the students ran outside, in time for recess. The sun was shining, clouds were swimming in the sky, some of them go down the long, yellow slide, some were using the swings and playing hop scotch, the yelling and cheering of the colts and fillys can be heard. Outside smelled like a BBQ, SweetieBell watched as Smooth Fury played volleyball outside, the sun was shining, the clouds were swimming in the sky, Sweetiebell watched as the ball quickly and with sheer force, bounced on the ground. Her and Smooth Fury's classmates cheered as they got a point. Then Scootaloo laughed and hushed, "My serve.." She toss the ball forward and spike the ball as hard as she could, she had a prideful grin on her face, the grin wasn't on her face when she fell on the ground. In a blink of an eye, the ball quickly flew on the sky, the bright, yellow sun shined on the ball. The ball was about to hit the ground. If that happend, it would cause her team a point but in a few seconds, Sweetiebell hit the ball with her head and jumped, and quickly smack the ball causing it to fly, the ball was flying and it hit the ground, the ball was behind Cookie Crumble, a young filly with a light brown coat and black mane. When the ball hit the ground behind her, she moaned, she had a shocked/scared look on her face. Smooth Fury was impressed with SweetieBell's move, he had an impressed grin on his face. He then shouted, "Good Job, SweetieBell.." SweetieBell looked away and started to blush pink. She had a happy look on her face, Apple Bloom chuckled and had a determine look on her face. She then said, "Now, my turn to serve!" Mrs. Cheerlie walked outside the school and looked around, she wore a happy look, then she announced in a cheerful tone, "2 more minutes of recess, students.. hurry up whatever you are doing!" she then went back inside and prepare for the lesson. She toss the ball and buck the ball as hard as she could, she bucked the ball like she buck the apple trees back home in Sweet Apple Anchors. The ball quickly flew and was in the sky, after a few seconds which felt like it went by very fast, the ball was on top of the net that separates the two teams. Members on both sides, wore a nervous look. Smooth Fury had a worried and nervous look, he hopes the ball doesn't land on their side or else they would lose a point. Not to mention, that they were ONE point behind the other team, and recess was almost over. There was a short silence, after what seemed like forever, Scootaloo said in an angry tone, "C'mon, land on their side!" Two seconds after that, ball tipped over, the fillys and colts playing volleyball gasped. The ball was about to fall and hit the ground on Sweetie Bell's team, Sweetie Bell jumped and hit the ball and it went over the net. Snails quickly ran towards the ball, even though he tried his best, it was too late. The ball hit the ground, giving Sweetie Bell and her team a point! Her teammates, Apple Bloom, Smooth Fury, White Chocolate, Lumber Jack, and Snails cheered as Sweetie Bell stood there with a happy and prideful look, pride was glowing in her heart. She is happy she scored a point causing her and the enemy team to be tied. She said, "Maybe I'll get a cutiemark in Volleyball.." Then, after the sounds of cheering stopped, Smooth Fury stepped forward and cooed in a happy tone, "Good Job!" when SweetieBell heard that, her cheeks started glowing a light shade of pink, she cracked a small smile, not to mention that she looked away from the student, her green eyes were shining and glowing. Then Apple Bloom decided to serve again, she toss the blue and white striped volleyball in the air, the sun shining on the ball, then in a blink of an eye, Apple Bloom bucked the ball again, she bucked the ball like she bucks the apple trees from Sweet Apple Anchors.. now, the blue and white striped ball went flying, it went faster then the ball that was served before, but sadly, it didn't go on over the net like every student hoped. The ball hit the net, the net launched the ball back to their side of the net. Apple Bloom looked down, a sad look lies on her face, but SweetieBell had a determined look on her face and she is not going to let her team lose a point again. SweetieBell intervene and hit the ball up, the ball went flying up, Scootaloo and her team was getting in position, they know Sweetie Bell was going to spike the ball again. The Ball fell, then SweetieBell jumped and kicked the ball with her hooves. the ball went flying over the fillys on the other team, the ball hit the ground, behind them, which meant SweetieBell and her team got a point, they are now one point ahead from the other team. Then Mrs. Cheerlie came outside, she had a happy look on her face. She took a deep breath, she said, "Okay everypony, come inside, recess is over.. sorry!" sounds of disappointing groans and moans could be heard, everypony had a sad look on her face, they were upset that recess was over. But now it is the last class of the day before the ponies can go home. SweetieBell cheered and yelled, "I DID IT! OUR TEAM WON!" Every student clapped with their hooves as SweetieBell stood there with a happy look, her smile was huge, pride glew in her heart. She thought to herself while blushing pink, "Smooth Fury is soo cute, and maybe I can get my cutiemark in Volleyball.." > Chapter 3- The final lesson > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fillys and colts arrive in the classroom, they had a sad look on their face. They sat on their hard and wooden desk and prepare for the last lesson of the day. They wish recess was longer, they had a large frown on their face. Mrs. Cheerlie then took a deep breath and said, "Now, pull out your paintbrushes, crayons, and any art materials.. we are going to draw.. it is the weekend so I am not going to overwhelm you all too much, so draw whatever you want!" The students nodded their heads, they reach for their backpack and grab their crayons, and art materials that can be found in their backpacks. Mrs. Cheerlie walked around the classroom in a steady pace, placing down papers on the student's desk so they have something to draw on. After a few minutes, she walked over to her desk and placed the huge stack of white, thin papers on the wooden brown desk. She turns around and said in a cheerful tone, "If you need more paper.. feel free to come up to my desk and take paper, take as much as you want.." The students nodded their heads, some had a determined or happy look on their face, they are happy to end the day with a relaxing task, and they know what to draw, some had a tired look on their face or don't know what to draw. There were many things they could draw. Meanwhile our protagonist, SweetieBell had hearts in her eyes, her cheeks were glowing pink. She started moving the thin, colorful crayons through the white, thin paper. She knows what she wants to draw, then, SweetieBelle's smile started to grow. After a while, Apple Bloom had a small smile on her face, she moved the crayon through the paper, she knows what she'll be drawing today. She looked up from the paper, she had a smile on her face. She looked down at the paper and said, "This drawing of Winona turned out pretty well..." On the paper it was a picture of Winona, AppleBloom drew Winona's brown head the right shape, drew cute little black eyes for Winona. She captured Winona's brown and white thin body and the brown and white fur that Winona has. On the drawing Apple Bloom made, she even drew a red collar on Winona which look pretty accurate. Apple Bloom said, "I like how I drew Winona's legs and tail." pride filled her heart as she looked at the drawing of Winona. Her legs were brown and her paw was white, very accurate. She drew Winona's white and brown tail perfectly. She had a big smile on her face. Scootaloo looked at her drawing, she had an annoyed look on her face. She just wanted to go home because Rainbow Dash was going to teach her how to do amazing, and breathtaking stunts in the sky. She said, "Nice drawing on Winona.." she had an impressed look on her face. Apple Bloom blushed. Apple Bloom then said, "Thanks, Scootaloo, she is a special dog in my heart, I love her and she is so funny and smart.." she had a happy look on her face. Scootaloo giggled and said, "That's nice, check out my drawing.." Apple Bloom glanced over to Scootaloo's drawing. Apple Bloom nodded her head and had an impressed look on her face. The drawing she made was pretty nice but inside AppleBloom's heart she knew she made a better drawing. She then said, "Nice drawing, Scootaloo!" the drawing Scootaloo made was a drawing of Rainbow Dash, her cyan body was drawn perfectly, Scootaloo managed to capture Rainbow Dash's magenta eyes. Scootaloo captured Rainbow Dash's eyes in the drawing. She did a nice job drawing Rainbow Dash's stunning rainbow mane. Scootaloo even did a good job drawing big wings for Rainbow Dash in the drawing. In the drawing, Rainbow Dash was flying through the sky. The sky was colored in light blue and the giant yellow sun was left of Rainbow Dash and a small, white and puffy cloud was below her. Scootaloo said, "Thanks, Apple Bloom!" Scootaloo asked in a curious tone, "Hey Sweetie Bell, what are you drawing?" Apple Bloom replied, "Yeah, what are you drawing today?" Sweetie Belle looked at the two fillys with a happy look on her face. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were yearning for an answer. Sweetie Bell spoke, "Oh, I am drawing.." she then cracked a small smile, a pink tint was visible on her face, and then she looked away. Scootaloo then sighed and had an unsurprising look on her face, she sighed and replied, "You are drawing... your crush... Smooth Fury?" She then rolled her eyes. Sweetie Bell nodded her head, her cheeks were glowing a pink tint. Sweetie Bell then said, "Yes.." Apple Bloom shriek, she had a happy look on her face and said, "You and Smooth Fury would be cute together!" Sweetie Belle said, "Thanks.." her cheeks were glowing a light pink tint. She cracked a small smile. Smooth Fury looked at Sweetie Belle, he had a small smile and a light pink tint was glowing in his cheek. He admired Sweetie Belle's cute, and glowing green eyes, Sweetie Belle's neat and puffy purple and white mane. He then looked back and continue drawing, he was drawing something amazing. He had a determined look on his face. Time was flying faster than Rainbow Dash, after an hour, the students were drawing, Diamond Tiara eyes were closed, she had a small smile on her face, also to mention, the sounds of her snores can be heard. Silver Spoon was also asleep, she had a small look on her face too. It was peaceful in the classroom, everyone was happy. Then, all of a sudden, the bell yelled, "RANG, RANG, RANG!" Mrs. Cheerlie said in a sad tone, "Bye everypony, have a good weekend!" Every student in the class, put away their art supplies, put on their backpacks and walked out of the school. Sounds of walking could be heard from a distance, the wooden desk of the students were abandoned by the students. Mrs. Cheerlie was sitting in her wooden desk, putting on her coat and saddlebag. She sighed and walked out of the school, she had a sad look on her face, she will miss her amazing and talented students, even SweetieBelle. She pulled out her golden keys from her thin and cozy purple jacket and inserted one of the keys into the kyehole and twisted it to the left. She withdrew the keys and said, "Okay, the school is locked.." she then walked away with a smile on her face. Meanwhile, SweetieBelle was looking for Smooth Fury, she has an idea to do a move on Smooth Fury. Sweetie Belle then glanced over and saw Smooth Fury, he was curling up on a book, he was sitting under a tall, and orange maple tree. the book in question, had a green cover and a golden yellow font on the front cover. The font read, "Secrets of the school" he had a charming smile on his face, SweetieBelle likes to read too, she found another common interest with Smooth Fury. SweetieBelle cheeks were glowing a pink tint, she then took a deep breath and walked over to were Smooth Fury was. She stood there for a short second. She then said, "Smooth Fury..." Smooth Fury looked up from his book, he started to have a light pink tint glow in his cheeks. He then said, "Yes, Sweetie... what do you want?" he had a smile on his face. Sweetie Belle looked away and said, "You.. want to have a sleepover with me... tonight... I want to get to know...." she had a dark red tint glow on her face, she then looked straight into Smooth Fury's glowing eyes. She then said, "I want..to get to know you more." Smooth Fury had a small smile on his face, he then started to blush dark red and said, "Sure, I want to get to know you... more!" SweetieBelle said while blushing dark red, "Okay, I'll go ask my sister, Rarity if I can have a sleepover with you!" She looked away, her glowing green eyes shine with the rising moon. SweetieBelle said, "Okay, wait here!" SweetieBelle ran away, she has one goal, convince Rarity to let her have a sleepover with the new student, Smooth Fury and make a move on him. > Chapter 4- Sleepover > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SweetieBelle moves in a fast pace, the moon shines in the sky, the array of stars sitting in the sky were shining too. The sun was leaving the sky and waving goodbye. Some ponies were outside with a tired or smile on their face, some were leaving their work place, some closed and also locked their front doors of their beloved homes. Some ponies were even watering their flowers and grass like Daisy. Unlike during the day, there weren't many clouds unlike during the day. The atmosphere was peaceful, there were no tension, nopony was angry, every pony was happy or tired. Meanwhile the sound of chatters can be heard from a distance, purple and Black hue were glowing in the sky they make the nighttime sky look stunning. Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle's smile was visible on her face, she was galloping to Rarity's boutique. Her plan is to ask Rarity if she can have a sleepover with Smooth Fury. Sleep overs were common to SweetieBelle, she had sleepovers once in a while, usually with AppleBloom and Scootaloo, now this time, she will have a sleepover with her friend and crush, Smooth Fury. It was uncommon for Rarity to not let her have sleepovers. Rarity was more likely to say yes to a sleepover, on the weekend. Hearts were in Sweetie Belle's eyes, SweetieBelle said in a happy tone while galloping, "It is the weekend.. so of course she will say yes! and at the end of the sleepover.. I must tell Smooth Fury... my feelings.." She then continued in a sad tone, "If I don't tell him soon, he will find a fillyfriend and they would be soo happy with each other. And I would forever be in the friend zone and Rarity always tells me how bad the friend zone is!" She then stops galloping when she arrives at Rarity's Boutique. She then said with a determined look and serious tone, "I must tell him, it may be too early but it is better than telling him when he has his own fillyfriend and him never knowing that I love him!" She then knocked on the purple front door of Rarity's Boutique, she looks around and waits for Rarity to open the door. After a few moments which felt like forever, the door opens and Rarity said while in a concerned tone, "Sweetie Belle? Where were you I was getting scared!" she had a worried look on her eyes and a few tears race down her eyes. Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes, she had an annoyed look on her face. Rarity wiped away her tears with her hooves, she has a small smile on her face because she is happy that Sweetie Belle is okay. SweetieBelle sighed and look at Rarity with an annoyed look and tone, "I am fine... I was.... I was talking to the new student at my school, Smooth Fury.. I like him.. he is sooo cute, nice and He is so handsome, smart and athletic.." a red tint was glowing in her cheeks, she looked away and cracked a small smile. Rarity's smile started to grow wider and wider. Sparkles were in Rarity's eyes, she was even shrieking a little bit like a fan girl. Rarity then responded, "Ooh, did you tell him?" Her smile was huge, sparkles were in her eyes and she thinks that SweetieBelle and Smooth Fury would be cute together. SweetieBell smile turned upside down, she nodded her head and looked away, Her eyebrows were rising down. Rarity had a concerned look on her face. Sweetie Belle then looked into Rarity's eyes and said, "I came to ask if I can have a sleepover with him... and near at the end of the sleepover.." She then paused and felt a red tint on her face. She had a small smirk on her face Rarity nodded her head, she had a serious look on her face, after a short silence she then said, "Okay.. let me guess.. you were going to ask me if you could go on a sleepover. Then, based on what you were going to do you wanted to go to a sleepover and at the end of the sleepover you were... going to ask him out?" Sweetie Belle had a surprised look on her face, She then nodded her head. She then begged, "Please say yes, it is the weekend and I don't have homework.. please, I won't do anything stupid.. please.. please!" She had a sad look on her face and she was hugging Rarity. She looked like she was about to cry. Rarity sighed and looked at Sweetie Belle with a serious look, "Okay fine, you can go to the sleepover.. BUT! do not do anything stupid like the time you egged Diamond Tiara's home because she made fun of you when you had a crush on the new kid, a while back.. and also like she humiated you in front of your crush.... then your crush started to fall for Diamond Tiara and you were so mad and ashamed that you egged her house to get back at her... Also to mention, can't remember if it was months or moons ago... but I had to pay a heavy load of bits.. to prevent you from being thrown into jail cause of that! so.. just behave.." Sweetie Belle's cheek started to glow a light pink tint, Sweetie Belle looks away when she remembered that incident, she also realize that what she did was dumb.. after a few minutes she had a smile on her face, she let go of Rarity and said, "Do not worry, I won't do anything silly... like that!" Rarity sighed and said, "Okay, now I will pick you up tomorrow morning.. okay?" She had a serious and tired look on her face. Sweetie Belle on the other head had a smile on her face and nodded her head. She then said, "Okay, got it, see you!" she then turned around and galloped away.. she had a smile on her face, she is happy she manages to convince Rarity to let her go have a sleep over with her future coltfriend, Smooth Fury. She now has to deal with the hard part which was asking out Smooth Fury after the sleepover. There was a silence in Ponyville, some of the houses have none of their lights on and not a peep could be heard from a distance. She quickly gets to school to start her sleepover with Smooth Fury.. After what seemed like a decade, she reached the school. Smooth Fury rested his head against the old, thick tree. the leaves of the trees were blocking the moonlight from shining at Smooth Fury, after a short silence, Sweetie Belle yelled, "Wake up, Wake up!" Smooth Fury slowly opened his eyes, he had a tired look on his face. He looked around slowly. He then said, "Oh hello, did you tell your sister, Rarity if you can go have a sleepover with me?" Sweetie Belle shriek before cooing in a happy and cheerful tone, "Yes!" Sweetie Belle then asked, "Did you ask your parents?" she had a wide smile on her face, a smile that Pinkie Pie would be jealous of. She can't wait to start this sleepover and confess her feelings. Her smile was cut short when Smooth Fury smile was turned upside down. He looked on the ground with a sad look. Sweetie Belle had a confused look on her face. She then asked, "Are you okay, you tired?" Smooth Fury then looked at Sweetie Belle and shook his head. Smooth Fury replied in a sad tone, "I- my parents were... dead... I don't want... to talk about it.." Sweetie Belle had a sad look on her face, she regrets what she did, if she didn't ask him that, he would not have been upset. Sweetie Bell's smile turned upside down, she looked away. She then worried that Smooth Fury would not like her. There were no words exchanged among them, Smooth Fury looked at the ground with a sad and upset look. The moon was shining but it wasn't shining at Sweetie Belle and Smooth Fury, they both didn't say anything and had sad looks on their face. Sweetie Belle then looked up, she then said in a sad look, "Sorry.. I didn't-" Smooth Fury looked up slowly, he still had a sad look on his face, he interrupted Sweetie Belle by saying in a soft tone, "No, no.. it's fine.. you didn't do anything wrong.." Smooth Fury and Sweetie Belle had a small smile on their face but there were no words exchanged among them, regret crossed her heart. Then, Smooth Fury sighed and said in a curious tone, "So, what are we going to do for the sleepover?" SweetieBelle then suggested in a sad tone, "Want... to play.. Truth or dare?" Smooth Fury looked at Sweetie Belle, he nodes his head. Sweetie Belle cracked a small smile and said, "Great!" Smooth Fury then asked in a curious tone, "Should I go first?" Sweetie Belle then nodded her head, she had a small smile on her face, she also admired Smooth Fury's good looks, his cuteness and his kindness. Smooth Fury then asked, "Truth or Dare?" Sweetie Belle then thinks for a moment, she is trying to decide what to choose. After a moment she picked her answer. She has a smile on her face. "Dare!" She blurted out quickly, she had a huge smile on her face. Smooth Fury then took a moment to think of a dare. Smooth Fury then said, "I dare you to.. uh.." He then looked around, there was a silence for a short time. Then he saw the tree, and had an evil smirk on his face, then he yelled, "Lick that oak tree!" he said while pointing to the oak tree. Sweetie Belle was dumbfounded by this, she had a shocked look on her face and gulped. She looked at the tree and back at Smooth Fury and nodded her head. She walked over to the thin, gray oak tree, she gulped and opened her mouth and launched her tongue. She then moved her tongue up the gray tree bark. She dragged her tongue back to her mouth, she had a grossed look on her face. She looked at Smooth Fury and nodded her head. Smooth Fury then chuckled and said, "Okay you're turn!" Sweetie Belle had an angry look on her face, she then scoffed. She then said, "I dare you to kiss me!" she then felt a red tint glow in her cheeks. She then saw Smooth Fury have a tint of red glow in his cheeks. He then walked over and pushed his lips against Sweetie Belle's cheeks. The two ponies were blushing red. Sweetie Belle was happy, she thinks that maybe her and Smooth Fury will become a thing. Afterall, he didn't refuse to kiss her and she did see him blush. Pride was glowing in her heart. She then got worried, she said in her mind, "C'mon tell him you like him... this night will go by so fast and then... later you'll be bottled up then you will find out that he has a fillyfriend... tell him.. he kissed you and didn't refuse.. that could mean he likes you.." Then the voice of her mind continued, "If he rejects you, it won't be bad.. plus there are worst fates like.. nightmare moon taking over Equestria... Smooth Fury could be your friend, or Smooth Fury could become Diamond Tiara's coltfriend.. you do love him, don't you.. Right? Right?" Then Sweetie Belle had an angry look on her face, she is trying to decide if she wants to ask him out. Then she yelled in a frustrated tone, "Ugh, I can't take it anymore!" Smooth Fury then asked in a curious tone, "What do you mean?" he had a curious look on his face. Sweetie Belle was blushing, she looked around nervously. She then looked on the ground, she had a small smile on her face. Then, she had a small smile on her face. She glanced at Smooth Fury, there lies a heavy and eerie silence. "I like you!" Sweetie Belle blurted in a happy tone.. she then looked away and continued, "You are soooo cute... you are so nice and handsome... I like you.. also uh.. eh.... you are so kind... you're so also... so hot!" She said while drool leake from her mouth and she admired Smooth Fury. She then took a deep breath and looked at Smooth Fury and then asked, "Do you Smooth Fury, want to be my coltfriend?" Both ponies were blushing, they were looking at each other. There was silence, the two ponies were smiling, they then glanced away from each other. Then after a few moments which felt like hours, Smooth Fury then said, "Yes, yes, I wish to be your coltfriend... also can I... I-... tell you something too?" Sweetie Belle then walked closer to Smooth Fury and whispered, "You can tell me anything, my love!" she then blushed and had a huge smile on her face. She can't wait to know what Smooth Fury so yearns to say. She looks at Smooth Fury He took a deep breath and said, "So.. I am a werepony.. at midnight, when the moon is sitting in the middle of the sky.. I start growing Reddish-orange fur, get larger and start growing white, and pointy teeth and become a werepony... I also lose all sense of conscience, right and wrong, and other things and lose control... this curse started when my great, GREAT grandparents refused to pay money for their meals, they were rich and semi famous but not famous like Princess Celestia or Fancy Pants.. they believed they should eat for free since they are famous and special... did I mention they were greedy? Anyway, the manager was forced to tell the couple to pay, they refused and trashed up the place because they thought that the restaurant wasn't being fair and forcing them to pay even thought they are famous, special and have a high networth.. not to mention, they even almost killed somepony, but the manager got so angry and slapped them, and said they will regret this.. they were escorted out by police... many moons later, I was born and my mom told me that tale... the tale I just I told you.." He then continued, "She then told me at midnight, when the moon sits in the middle of the sky, you turn into a werepony and start to get out of control. There isn't a cure and the pony that cursed them.. is missing or dead.. I am not sure but I know that after that night. She was never seen again!" Sweetie Belle had a surprised look on their face. Her mouth was open but she was still blushing a little. She then said, "Wow, that's bizarre... don't worry I still think you are a good pony, werepony or not!" Smooth Fury then chuckled and said, "Thanks, sweetie, my family were forced out from Canterlot.. My grandparents were captured along with m-.. my dad.. and we were running through an old wooden and almost broken bridge, we had to cross that bridge to get to Ponyville. I ran through the bridge, my mom tried to cross the bridge but it broke, my mom fell quickly then the sun leaving the sky, I never saw her again.. life was never the same.." he stared at the green grass with a sad look. Sweetie Belle had an empathetic look on her face, she felt sorry for him, she then said, "I am sorry to hear that, I-.. I hope life gets better for you.. is there anything I could do?" Smooth Fury looked up, with a sad look and said, "No, but thanks for asking, cutie.." he then started to feel a red tint on his cheek. Sweetie Belle got closer and comforted Smooth Fury by hugging him. She hugged him tight and closed her eyes, she had a small smile on her face. > Chapter 5- Midnight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweetie Belle and Smooth Fury sit under the tree, their lips pressed against the other, they both hold hoofs. It was peaceful and quiet. You couldn't hear a sound, then the short and thick arrow along with the long and thin arrow on the clock points to the twelve, the clock yelled, "RANG, RANG, RANG!" the night sky was breathtaking the night was purple and glowing a violet hue, a hoard of stars shining brightly on the sky, the moon sits in the middle of the sky, it is huge and is also glowing white along with the stars. Smooth Fury said let go of the passionate kiss and said, "That was awesome..." He had a very happy grin on his face. Sweetie Belle said, "I agree, not to mention.. that was my first kiss... it was amazing.." she had a calm look on her face and her cheeks were glowing a pint tint. She looked away also stroking her mane with her hoofs. Smooth Fury then saw the giant clock, both arms are pointing to the twelve, he saw the moon on the sky, it sits in the middle of the sky, he then looked down and shed a tear, his grin was also turned upside down. He whispered, "Oh no... I forgot.. about the curse!" Sweetie Belle turned around and asked in a concerning tone, "What's wrong, babe?" she also had a worried look on her face, she glances at Smooth Fury, waiting for the reason why Smooth Fury is upset. Then after a few moments, he turned to Sweetie Belle and sighs. He then said, "Well, remember when I told you about my curse... when the moon sits in the middle of the sky and when it turns to midnight... I become... a werepony.." Sweetie Belle then said, "Oh.. well.. do you know how long you are a werepony for?" Smooth Fury looks away, thinking for a bit, he tries to remember how long it was. He then looked on the ground, he can be heard saying "Uh... hmmmm!" he knows his mom told him long long he would be a werepony for.. but he can't remember it off from the top of his head. After a few long, minutes that felt like a decade, he looks at Sweetie Belle, he gulps and sighs before saying, "Not sure it could be from an hour till the sun rise..." Sweetie Belle nodes her head and said, "Okay, you could find a place to hide when your a werepony so you don't hurt anyone or.. damage anything.. plus, nopony will know about your secret.." Smooth Fury thinks for a moment, he likes the idea but doesn't want to be far from Sweetie Belle. Then he looks at Sweetie Belle, he looks around then back at her. He then said, "Okay but I do not know where to hide?" Sweetie Belle then had a shocked look on her face, her mouth was open and her eyebrows, raised. Smooth Fury started to grow reddish-orange fur, he grew taller, almost 6'0. He also started having longer, and pointy nails and teeth. Then he looks around. Sweetie Belle calmly whispered, "You okay?" she is concerned about her colt friend, she wears a worried look on her face. Then, she saw Smooth Fury's having a longer and hairier tail, it is reddish-orange too. He looks around, he saw Sweetie Belle standing there with a worried look on her face. Then he started to growl and he raised his head up, a loud and scary howl could be heard from a distance, it was heard by the Ponyville citizens and even Queen Celestia and Luna themselves. His eyes rapidly dart around his eyes, examining the place. Some ponies were sleeping, they had annoyed looks on their faces, not liking the howling noise that woke them up. Many ponies turn on the light in their room, chattering could be heard. One pony said, "Cut it off with the noise, I am trying to sleep!" She wasn't happy to be disturbed, not even late that night. She had a tired look on her face. One pony yelled in a very annoyed tone, "I'm trying to sleep, I have to work all day tomorrow..." he had an angry look on his face and his grin was curved upside down, he moans in anger. Another stallion yelled in a sleepy tone, "Please.. be quiet.." he had a tired look on his face, his grin was crooked upside down. He was sitting in his bed in his PJ's. And another audible complaint that could be heard was from a mare that shouted in an angry tone, "I'm hungry!" she had sleepy look on her face and fell back to sleep, her upside down grin was flipped and she was snoring away through the night. Smooth Fury walked towards Sweetie Belle, he growls to himself. Sweetie Belle was walking backwards, sweat race down her cheeks Smooth Fury was now a werepony, he lost his conscience. Sweetie Belle asked in a sad tone, "Please.. don't harm me... I love you... werepony or not-" she looks at Smooth Fury who is a werepony. She had an upside down grin on her face. "SWEETIE BELLE!" A scream that Sweetie Belle heard, what she was going to say was interrupted. It was Rarity who shouted that, she is scared that Sweetie Belle would be attacked and slaughtered by the werepony, she doesn't know that is Smooth Fury. Rainbow Dash swoop into the sky and said, "I'll distract the werepony, you grab Sweetie Belle!" she said when she was flying around the werepony. She was flying super fast, she had a prideful look on her face. Rainbow Dash was confusing the werepony by flying super fast around him. Rarity grabbed Sweetie Belle and ran. As they ran through the quiet street of Ponyville Rarity then scolded, "Why didn't you run away from the werepony, instead of just standing there!" She had an angry look on her face, she thought what Sweetie Belle did was foolish. She looks at Sweetie Belle with an angry look, waiting for an answer. Sweetie Belle replied by yelling back, "THAT was my coltfriend... he is under a curse that followed him through generations... and plus.. he is not a monster!" she yelled defending her coltfriend. Rarity asked in a confused tone, "That.. that is Smooth Fury.. the pony who plan to ask out!" she was confused for a moment, she thought Smooth Fury was another pony not the werepony looked ready to attack Sweetie Belle. She then sighed. She said, "Oh okay, but don't yell back at me! be grateful I saved your life, if I wasn't there you would have been eaten.." She paused thinking of what would happen if Rarity didn't "save her life" She then wore a cringed look on her face and shivers went down her spine. She then said, "Or.. worst.." she said with a worried/panic look on her face.. She still has shivers down her spine imaging what if Rarity wasn't there to "Save her". A tear almost escaped her eye. She was very happy she intervene and "Saved" Sweetie Belle's life tonight. They both continued running as Apple Jack, Twilight and Rainbow Dash fought with the werepony, thinking it was trying to attack and hurt somepony. Smooth Fury during werepony form can't speak and can only growl, moan or bark. Then, after what seemed like forever, the werepony fell on the flat and green ground, Rainbow Dash pinned it to the ground and smelt victory, the werepony was not moving, not even a kilometer.. Rainbow Dash's heart was filled with pride. Twilight blurted out in a confused tone, "What a coincidence, I was reading about werepony tonight then right now, I am fighting a werepony.."
