Chapter 8

Sweetie Belle's Birthday

Today was Sweetie Belle's birthday and she was very excited. Sweetie Belle still had to go to school but her party was going to start right when she gets home from school.

During school, Cheerilee had her class sing happy birthday for Sweetie Belle and they talked about what they will be doing at the party after school.

When school was over, Sweetie Belle ran straight home as fast as she could. When she got home, she went inside and stayed in her room for a few minutes, she wanted to be surprised to see her party.

Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were setting up the party outside her boutique. Some ponies started showing up at the party right when it was almost set up.

Right when it was finished, Rarity went inside to get Sweetie Belle. Rarity had Sweetie Belle come outside and Sweetie Belle was looking forward to seeing Neo at the party.

When Sweetie Belle got outside, everypony yelled, "SURPRISE!"

Confetti flew in the air and everypony cheered for Sweetie Belle. Then Pinkie Pie approached Sweetie Belle with a big grin and gave Sweetie Belle a special birthday hug. Sweetie Belle asked Pinkie if she knew where Neo was and she said that he was not at the party yet but he would be there soon.

More ponies were coming to the party and Sweetie Belle welcomed them and still waited up for Neo. The ponies at the party included Cheerile, Lyra, Bon Bon, Derpy Hooves, Spike, the mane 6 and various town ponies, fillies and colts. Sweetie Belle had a pile of gifts for her and Pinkie Pie just brought over the chocolate cake she had made for Sweetie Belle.

A few minutes later after everypony who was invited came to the party, Neo was still not there. Sweetie Belle began to cry, she was beginning to think that Neo wasn't coming. Pinkie Pie saw Sweetie Belle looking sad and she had tears in her eyes. She trotted over to Sweetie Belle and asked her what was wrong, Pinkie Pie hated seeing anypony cry or be sad on their birthday.

She asked Sweetie Belle why she was so sad and she said that Neo hadn't shown up yet and she was starting to think he wasn't coming, and she was really looking forward to seeing him at the party. Pinkie Pie felt sad for Sweetie Belle, but she assured her that Neo will come soon. He wouldn't even think of missing Sweetie Belle's birthday party.

Then Rarity brought in another cake, this cake was from 5 to 6 feet tall and it looked like it was made out of cardboard. Rarity called Sweetie Belle over to come look at the cake. Sweetie Belle looked at the big cake but she could tell it was a fake cake.

But before Sweetie Belle could say anything, the top of the cake opened up and Neo came out of the cake and shouted, "Happy birthday Sweetie Belle."

Sweetie Belle was so happy to see Neo, she jumped up and down joyfully, so happy that he came to her party.

Neo came out the cake and performed a song for Sweetie Belle ("Happy Birthday To Me" by Bulldog Mansion).

Sweetie Belle watched Neo sing for her and everypony especially the fillies and colts at the party moved their heads to the melody of the song.

When Neo finished the song, everypony cheered and they all wished Sweetie Belle a happy birthday. Sweetie Belle went over to Neo, she jumped in his arms and said she was so happy he came to her party. She was about to think he wasn't coming but she was so happy he came. Neo hugged Sweetie Belle, he had came like he promised and he was happy to be there for her.

Then Neo put Sweetie Belle on the ground and said it was time to open her gifts. Sweetie Belle had a lot of gifts to open. Neo had a gift to give to Sweetie Belle. She wanted to open it first, but he wanted her to open it last because it was a very special gift.

Sweetie Belle opened her gifts and got lots of neat toys and other things. Then Sweetie Belle opened her gift from Neo, his gift to her was a small snow globe music box. Inside the snow globe was Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and Scootaloo hugging each other.

Neo showed Sweetie Belle that when she turns the key at the bottom, snow flies around inside the globe and it plays cute music. Sweetie Belle loved the gift and she thought it was so thoughtful. Sweetie Belle smiled sweetly at Neo, she gave him a big hug and thanked him for the gift.

Neo picked up Sweetie Belle and he gave her a hug, she looked at him with a cute smile and gave him an expression of love, proving that she had a crush on him. She even had some happy tears in her eyes.

Rarity was watching Sweetie Belle's interaction with Neo and she could tell that Sweetie Belle was very fond of Neo and seemed to even be in love with him. Then Sweetie Belle gave Neo another hug and said that she loved him so much and wished he was part of her family.

Rarity thought that was very sweet but she was kind of worried at the same time. Sweetie Belle was too young to have a crush on somepony, especially someone who is a lot older than her. But Rarity didn't want to ruin the party, so as soon as Sweetie Belle is alone, Rarity was going to have a talk with her about her so called crush on Neo.
