Scene 6: Assembling a Team, Part 2- Sweetie Belle

-Rarity's boutique-

Rainbow Dash and Apple Bloom walked up to Rarity's house. Rainbow rang the doorbell.

R-"Why hello there, Rainbow Dash! What can I do for you on this lovely day?"

Apple Bloom shoved Rainbow Dash out of the way; she landed in a nearby shrub.

AB-"Well hay there, Miss Rarity! We was just wonderin' if Sweetie Belle could come on an adventure with us!"

R-"She shouldn't be busy right now. Of course she can go! Where are you three off to?"

AB-"Well, we were headed off to find a pet for Rainbow Dash here. Apparently, there's a phoenix in the Everfree Forest, and-"

R-"The E- The Everfree Forest! Why in Equestria would you go in there? It's terribly filthy and extremely scary! I don't think it would be safe for any one of you ponies in there!"

AB-"But it would be a really fun adventure and Ah' want to see if we can stare down a Cockatrice again and we might get our Cutie Marks and-"

R-"Wait, stare down a Cockatrice again? You mean you stared off a Cockatrice for a first time?"

AB-"Well, it wasn't us- Fluttershy had to stare it down for us, and-"

R-"Wait, you mean you actually went into the Everfree forest and got yourself in trouble?"

AB-"Well, Fluttershy was with us and she saved us from the Cockatrice and-"

R-"No, I won't hear of it! Sweetie Belle can't go in if she's going to be in this kind of trouble!"

AB-"Aw, puh-leeeeeeeee-"

R-"Absolutely n-"

AB-"-eeeeeeeaaaaaa-"

R-"Begging won't do y-"

AB-"aaaaaasssssss-"

R-"Fine! Fine! She can go! Just make sure you have a responsible pony with you!"

Rainbow Dash had finally untangled herself from the shrub she was stuck in. She nudged Apple Bloom out of the way and finally had a chance to get to a word in.

RD-"Don't worry, I'm going with them!"

R-"Oh no. I think it would be better if you had another pony with you too."

RD- "Fine. Would you like to come along, Rarity?"

R-"Actually, never mind. I'll just go get Sweetie Belle then."

Rarity climbed up the stairs. Moments later, she returned with Sweetie Belle behind her; Sweetie Belle was wearing her CMC cloak.

SB-"Hey guys! Rarity told me that you were going into Everfree Forest again! I want to go too!"

RD-"Really?"

SB-"If it means I might get my Cutie Mark, then of course!"

RD-"Alright then. I guess we're off to get Scootaloo."

With that, they left Rarity's house.
