Sadie's Secret

I do not own any of the characters except Violet, Orangeblossom and Sadie. By the way I'm 10 and if you don't believe I wrote this, it's because I'm gifted (check out my profile for more info!)

Chapter 1: Violet's POV

My short purple-and-blue mane drifted in the breeze. I pushed my dark brown body faster, determined to win. But with her tall and strong legs, my best friend Orangeblossom streaked before me and across the finish line. I skidded to a halt at the finish, out of breath.

''Wanna do that again?'' she asked, her light cocoa legs trembling in excitement and her tail shaking.

''Um, I think I'll pass. I'm gonna go check on my garden,'' I replied quickly. Once was more than enough for me. Orangeblossom rolled her eyes and bounced off, her horn glinting in the sun. I turned around and prepared my wings…wait. What was I doing? I hated flying even though I was a pegasus. I was horrible at it and I preferred to be down on the ground with my plants. I loved gardening and was pleased to show off my violet cutie mark, matching my name. I trotted steadily until I reached Sparklewing Cottage (don't ask). I walked around the house and into my garden.

It was looking better than ever. Pansies and dandelions grew on my left and roses and buttercups grew on my right. There were apple trees, orange trees and pear trees with violets growing around them. But standing near the tree was…Sadie! I ran towards my unicorn sister. Once I reached her, I began shouting.

'' What are you doing?! I told you not to come into my garden!'' I yelled.

''I'm just studying the plants,'' Sadie replied, cool and calm. I really HATE my sister. She was so bossy and demanding and such a show-off. She was always commenting on her perfect brown hair and silky cappuccino coloured mane and her amazing magic skills…well, I suppose she had a right to brag about the last one. She had magic practice with Twilight Sparkle every Wednesday and she was starting to get really good. But she was never satisfied, always wanting to know more…

''Violet?!"

I snapped back into reality. Sadie was standing in front of me. Her hindquarters were high in the air, showing her cutie mark (a book of rules).

''It's time for bed,'' she reminded. That was one thing I most hated about her. She treated me like a little kid.

''It's only half past seven!'' I protested, but of no avail. I stomped up to my room and flopped down onto my bed. Angrily I pulled the covers over myself and drifted into sleep, Sadie's smug face haunting my dreams.
