Chapter 4 Siblings
It was finally the weekend I got up early long before my sister was awake I wrote her a note that told her I was hanging out with my friend's and put it on her horn so she would see it. I ran downstairs and outside, directly into Applejack.
"Woe there Sweetie Belle where are ya headed off to in such a hurry?" She asked as Apple Bloom walked over.
"I thought we were going to hang out today?" I asked
"Well sugar we have to get Apple Bloom fitted for a dress for the gala." Apple Bloom said
"Wait you're going to gala?" I asked as Rainbowdash landed and Scootaloo pulled up on her scooter.
"You're not?" Scootaloo asked I laughed nervously trying to play it off like it really wasn't a big deal.
"Yeah don't worry about it I'll just hang out with Cord and Button." Luckily for me they bought it and I headed to the music store to find Cord practicing with his guitar he was playing the same song as earlier. "What song are you playing it sounds familiar?"
"Oh it's just some song I made up on the spot is all. So what's wrong with you?" He asked
"Just that my sister didn't invite me to go to the gala and everyone else is going." I said dramatically and he laughed.
"Really that's it?"
"Well I didn't expect you to understand you don't act like a gentlecolt." I said
"Here listen to this." He put headphones on me and music began to play. It wasn't hip hop like I thought it would be but rock. I began tapping my hoof and moving around, I loved it. "It's a band called Fall Out." Cord told me as the song came to an end he let me borrow the album. Then we left to go see about finding Button but there was a bug party going on at his house so we headed to the castle to see Spike. "So you know the Princess?" Cord asked as we walked in
"Yeah we have Twilight time occasionally where we learn how to do new things. She's actually teaching me magic." I said as we walked into the library.
"Sweetie Belle could you grab that book for me thank you." Twilight asked I handed her a book titled Psychology and how to treat severe disorders.
"Why do you need that?" I asked
"Well I'm a little rusty on the subject so I figured I would improve on it." She opened it up and began reading. "If you're looking for Spike he's helping Rarity with the dresses for the gala." I groaned and we headed back to the boutique.
"Sweetie Belle I'm so glad you're here. I need you to hold this for me." Rarity asked before handing me a pin cushion.
"Rarity um why-"
"Not now Sweetie Belle I have a lot of work to do, Scootaloo stop moving around or I'll prick you with the needle." Rarity said
"Rarity you're ignoring me again!" I said louder and she gave me a scowl.
"Sweetie Belle what could possibly be more important than this?" She asked in a very ugly manner.
"Why is everyone going to gala except for me?" I asked it must've caught her off guard.
"I completely forgot to get you a ticket." She replied
"What?" I asked
"Well there was so much going on and I had a lot of orders to fill. I'm sorry Sweetie Belle." She said I let go of the pin cushion and it burst into flames on the way down.
"Yet you had enough time to get yourself a ticket!" I screamed before running upstairs.
"Sweetie Belle!" I heard Rarity call out I slammed the door and locked it.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed angrily before jumping on my bed and punching my pillow repeatedly.
"Sweetie Belle open up please." Rarity said
"Go away!" I screamed at her.
"Sweetie Belle."
"No! GO AWAY!" I screamed again and she left me alone for the rest of the night. I listened to the album Cord gave me for the rest of the night and most of the next day. I walked downstairs and left without saying a word to Rarity and headed to the music store.
"And then she said she didn't have time to get me a ticket so now I don't get to go and have to stay home alone for two days!" I said loudly I was laying on one of the steps that led to the mini stage.
"Sweetie Belle not that I don't enjoy your company and you suddenly opening up to me but could you please help or something?" Cord asked as he started putting CD's on a shelf. I levitated them all and put them where they were supposed to go.
"Cord be honest am I bother?" I asked he groaned.
"I barely know you Sweetie Belle but from what I can tell no." He replied before walking off and coming back with another CD. "If it makes you feel any better the gala is supposed to suck and try listening to this they sing about similar stuff that you're going through maybe it'll help." I took and looked at the cover that had a dragon skull eating a pony skull.
"You sure about this?" I replied
"I'm not forcing you. A little help." I put up a cardboard cutout of Sapphire Shorts and put her new album on display.
"Well since I won't be doing anything for those two days we should do something."
"I have to work." Cord groaned.
"Well I could help if that's alright."
"Cord that display was supposed to go in the front of the store." The older colt said and Cord groaned.
"Next time could you tell me before it's set up Remix." Cord called out as he began pushing the Sapphire Shorts display to the front of the store.
"Maybe you should stop flirting with your friend." The colt laughed
"I was not flirting!" Cord yelled and the older colt rubbed Cord's head.
"Whatever you say little brother." He said
"Well I'm heading home I'll see you later Cord." I waved bye as I left as far as I could tell the two continued to bicker with each other. I walked into the boutique and immediately headed up to my room where I started listening to the music that Cord gave me. It was loud, fast, and I began to move my head back and forth. I looked on the inside of the album to see a picture of the band they were all wearing black including the only girl. She wore a headband that a spider and mesh on it and dark colored make up. I looked through my stuff to find a black headband. I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked good.
