Sweetiebelle finally found Rarity who was in the boutique working on something.
"Hi Rarity, i'm back, do you know when dinner is?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"Oh my, I completely forgot, umm would pasta be alright I haven't had much time to work on dinner you can see im very busy." Rarity said. Rarity didn't appear to be busy at all, all that was with her was a faint sketch of some article of clothing, a skirt,or a dress, or something.
"Yea pasta is fine." Sweetiebelle said. Than Rarity trotted into the kitchen and started to boil some water.
"Sweetiebelle would you be a dear and get me two bowls please." Rarity asked.
"Sure!" said Sweetiebelle smiling. Sweetiebelle grabbed a stool to stand on so she could reach the pretty bowls on the high shelf. Sweetiebelle decided to try to reach the glass bowls using her magic. She stood on her back legs and held onto the shelf. She then focused her magic on the bowls she managed to lift two up from their spots on the shelf and would have been able to levitate them to the table but Rarity screamed and Sweetiebelle lost focus and dropped the bowls. Rarity caught them with her magic just before they hit the ground.
"Sweetiebelle! I meant some plastic bowls or anything within your reach, you're magic is not powerful enough yet, how could you think it would be ok to lift these expensive glass bowls with you're magic. What were you thinking!" Rarity shouted.
" I was just trying to-" Sweetiebelle started.
"Just trying to what? You could have dropped them and have gotten hurt." Rarity interrupted.
"I don't know, I was almost able to do it but you distracted me!" Sweetiebelle said.
"Hardly, now come down from their and eat dinner before it gets cold, and you will be helping me with my new project after dinner." Rarity explained.
"But-" Sweetiebelle said
"no buts, you will do as I say." Rarity said.
"Fine." Sweetiebelle said through clenched teeth.
After dinner Sweetiebelle washed up and tied her mane back before going to the shop to help Rarity with probably what ever she was working on earlier. Sweetiebelle walked quietly into the shop and saw Rarity cutting and measuring some dark purple fabric.
"What do you need me to do?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"Could you get some purple ribbon from the shelf?" Rarity asked.
Sweetiebelle walked over to the shelf where all Raritys ribbon was.
"What kind of purple do you need?" Sweetiebelle asked knowing how particular her sister was with color.
"A lighter shade of orchid would do nicely" Rarity said. Sweetiebelle had labeled all the ribbon so when she helped Rarity she could find the color she needed faster. She took the ribbon she needed and brought it to Rarity.
"Thanks Sweetiebelle." Rarity said which made Sweetiebelle feel pleased with herself.
"What are you making anyways?" Sweetiebelle asked as Rarity sewed the ribbon to the rim of the fabric.
"Its a cloak for the winter time for a little filly about your age. Actually," Rarity said inspecting Sweetiebelle.
"Shes about your size could you possibly wear it while I put it together so I can see how it fits?" Rarity asked.
"Yea sure." Sweetiebelle replied.
Than she stood up on a bench next to some mirrors and Rarity carefully put the cloak onto Sweetiebelle who gasped as the plush fabric touched her fur. It was the softest, warmest thing she had ever worn.
"What is this fabric made of it's so soft and warm!" Sweetiebelle asked smiling before tightly hugging the cloak closer to her.
" I created it actually and i've been working on it for a few weeks now, you like it?" Rarity asked.
"Yea more than anything you have ever made before." Sweetiebelle said. before they got back to work. Rarity added a hood and a sparkly broach in the shape of a diamond to hold the front together. Than last she added a bow on the back in the same color as the ribbon outlining the whole thing. Sweetiebelle was sad to take it off when it was time for her to go to bed. Before she went upstairs to her room Sweetie Belle noticed that the cloak was actually bigger than it had been when she was wearing it as Rarity pulled out some pins on the bottom of it. Sweetie Belle wondered why Rarity needed her to wear it if it wasn't actually supposed to be her size. Ignoring that though Sweetiebelle went upstairs and went to bed
The next day Sweetiebelle did her same morning routine, practice magic, clean up, brush mane, fight with Rarity,and eat breakfast.
"Rarity, could you help me with my magic today i've almost got it but maybe a little extra help will do." Sweetiebelle asked.
"I can't sorry im supposed to be getting a new order today and I need to work on that." Rarity said.
"Can you tomorrow?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"No im busy." Rarity replied.
"Next week?… Next month? why are you always to busy for me!" Sweetiebelle asked.
"Im sorry Sweetiebelle. Why don't you ask Twilight." Rarity suggested.
"Isn't she busy with princess stuff?" Sweetiebelle asked.
"Well yes but it never hurts to ask and I bet Twilight would love to take a break to help you, now go on." Rarity said.
Sweetiebelle eventually left the boutique and went on her way to twilight's new castle which was tiring because it was farther away than her old home. When she eventually arrived she knocked on the large doors.
"Coming!" Twilight shouted from inside. A minute or so later Twilight finally opened the door.
"Sorry I get lost in their sometimes, i'm not quite used to it yet. Oh, hi Sweetiebelle what did you come out here for?" Twilight asked smiling glad to see a familiar face.
" Well Rarity is gunna be busy for a long time and nopony besides you that I know can help me practice my magic and I was wondering, well if you're not busy, if you could possibly help me with my magic?" Sweetiebelle asked nervously. Twilight's smile dropped.
"Im so sorry Sweetiebelle, im super busy with some books princess celestia needed me to read for a new assignment. Maybe next week though." Twilight said before closing the door.
"Um, ok" Sweetiebelle said to the door figuring Twilight must be really busy because of how quickly she went back inside. Sweetiebelle then decided to just practice on her own. She walked around town and bought a snack and found a large open field with a nice river running through it. Sweetiebelle found a nice spot near the river on a rock and ate the apple she bought for a snack and got started. She found a stick she thought would do nicely for an object to levitate. Sweetiebelle closed her eyes focusing on only the stick and pictured it rising up into the air. Once she felt the spell appear on her horn she released it onto the stick and tried to open her eyes but couldn't see through the newly formed tears in her eyes and dropped broke the spell then collapsed on to the soft grass below. Sweetie Belle's new focus was trying to figure out why she was crying. At that moment Sweetie Belle gave up trying. She cried in the grass field and thought of how she only failed.
"This must be how Scootaloo feels when she can't fly." Sweetiebelle thought to herself suddenly feeling worse.
"Hay! are you ok?" Somepony called from across the field.
Sweetiebelle looked up wiping the tears from her eyes and could see a light blue unicorn in the distance walking towards her.
"Um so are you going to like answer my question already, are you hurt or something, or can I peacefully get on with my day. Trixie asked Sweetiebelle.
"Im fine, what are you doing back in ponyville Trixie? Sweetiebelle said trying to look tough.
"You must not know how far out of ponyville we are because I would never go back there now that Twilights there to gloat about being a Princess now, like what's that all about?" Trixie said.
"Hey, don't diss Twilight she's my friend." Sweetiebelle said.
"Ha! A friend who won't even help you with your magic?" Trixie taunted.
"Well, um, Twilights busy with the responsibilities of being a princess, which she totally deserves by the way she's a great unicorn." Sweetiebelle said.
"Wait how did you know that?" Sweetiebelle said confused.
"Technically that shiney caste of Twilights is outside ponyville and I happened to be walking past when Twilight denied you, it got me thinking, what if I helped you." Trixie said.
"You would be willing to help me with my magic?" Sweetiebelle said excitedly.
"Ha! no, of course not, you can't even lift a twig." Trixie replied.
"It was a heavy branch" Sweetiebelle said through gritted teeth.
"Yea sure it was." Trixie said.
"Whatever Trixie just leave me alone," Sweetiebelle said.
"Fine fine, have things you're way, imagine how much power you would have if you had the alicorn amulet like I did." Trixie said mostly to herself before using her magic to levitate and break in half the Branch Sweetiebelle used earlier.
On the walk back to the boutique Sweetiebelle couldnt get what Tricie had said about the amulet out of her head.
"What if I did have the amulet? Would I be able to use magic with it? Could I be as powerful as Trixie, or maybe even Twilight even? My brain hurts." Sweetiebelle thought to herself. Than she made it back home and walked in.
"Oh, there you are Sweetiebelle, you don't do your chores before you left so you will need to do them now the house is starting to look like a mess. Oh, did Twilight help you?" Rarity said.
"Two things, one, no Twilight didn't help me but Trixie might have. Two I haven't been home all day so any mess in the house was caused by you and it would make more sense if you cleaned it up." Sweetiebelle said.
" I'm letting you live here so the least you could do is help clean up Sweetie, and what is this horrid news about Trixie helping you?" Rarity asked.
"Fine ill help clean up, and Trixie suggested a way to improve my magic which isn't any of your business." Sweetiebelle replied.
"I'm your older sister I think it is my business to know why you were talking to Trixie and what exactly about." Rarity said starting to get mad.
" You're not my mother so I don't need to tell you anything and why do you care so much, just give me my chores I need to do and leave me alone." Sweetiebelle said.
"Oh, so now you want to do your chores, maybe ill add a few extra if you're so enthusiastic about it!" Rarity exclaimed.
" Why are you always so mean to me Rarity, siblings are supposed to be nice to each other and stick together, and have I not yet mentioned, siblings are supposed to help eachother out!" Sweetiebelle yelled.
" Oh, now i'm the mean one, you are the one who left all day and probably had lunch with the enemy," Rarity said.
" Well I wouldn't have been out today or spoken to Trixie if you would have just helped me with my magic for once everypony else my age can do it but me and you don't understand how hard that is at school." Sweetiebelle said to Rarity before running up to her room and slamming the door.
Sweetiebelle grabbed her largest saddle bag and started putting things in it like blankets and water. Than when Rarity was in her work room she ran downstairs and packed food and more water before running back upstairs and hiding it under her bed.
"Rarity, im going to bed early don't bother me!" Sweetiebelle yelled from her room.
"Fine so am I, you better do your chores in the morning by the way!" Rarity yelled back. Sweetiebelle turned off her lights and listened at the door for rarity to go in her bedroom. When she Finally did, Sweetiebelle got her saddlebags and snuck downstairs. She was running away to find and learn how to use the alicorn amulet.
She stepped outside into the cold night air and decided it was way too cold, that wasn't going to stop her though. Sweetiebelle went back into the boutique and went to where her and Rarity were working the night before. The light from the door shone on the sparkelly roach on the cloak they made. Sweetiebelle carefully stepped into the room hoping that the floor would creak and alert Rarity is she was listening. Once she was positive it was safe to enter Sweetiebelle took the cloak, a needle, and some thread before hurrying back outside. Finally, Sweetiebelle put the soft fabric over her securing it on her back and head. it was big on her and dragged on the ground but that was ok, it meant it would last sweetiebelle a long time. She pinned it so it wasn't on the ground anymore, pulled the hood over her head and ran off into the night towards the forest
