Sweetie Belle’s Best Holiday Ever!

Today was a special day for Sweetie Belle and her classmates, today was the audition for the school play. All the fillies wanted to be the main roles of course, but Sweetie Belle really wanted it. She wanted to be the star and make her sister proud. She waited in line, as one by one would audition. She was next and couldn’t wait to show them she had what it took.
“Next!”
Sweetie Belle made her way in. She was feeling a little nervous, never doing this before.
“Alright Sweetie Belle, give me your best shot.” Cheerilee smiled.
“How can you refuse to help my child? She only has a month at left to live, and I need you to save her life. Please doctor… you can’t just let my child die like this.”
“Alright Sweetie Belle that’s enough. You can go now.”
“That’s it? Well… did I get the part?” Sweetie was excited.
“I’ll post everyone’s part tomorrow, you’ll find out then.”
“But I want to know now! I want to tell my sister the good news now, and find out I might get my cutie mark!”
“I’m sorry Sweetie Belle, but I still have to give the others a chance.”
“Alright, but I can’t wait to see that I won.” Sweetie Belle made her way off the stage, excited ‘knowing’ that she nailed it. Cheerilee shrugged.
Oh Sweetie Belle, you’ll get your cutie mark when the time comes. Cheerilee snapped out of it, noticing Sweetie Belle left.
“Next!” Cheerilee yelled.
Sweetie Belle made started to make her way home. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo greeted here at the school’s entrance.
“So how did it go Sweetie Belle?”
“GREAT! I think I got the lead!” Sweetie squeaked.
“That’s great! Hopefully we’ll all get an important part!” Scootaloo smiled.
“I know we will, we’re the Cutie Mark Crusaders, we can do anything and everything!”
Sweetie Belle started to sing a holiday tune, enjoying the spirit of the holidays. Cheerilee was leaving the school, when she heard a beautiful singing voice. She followed the sound, wanting to know whose voice that is. She followed it until…
Sweetie Belle? That is one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. Well I know what role she’ll have in the play for sure! Cheerilee made her way back to the school, and made her changes in the play cast.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders made it to the Carousel Boutique.
“Well girls, I’ll see you two tomorrow, I’d better get in and get enough rest for the big reveal tomorrow.” Sweetie smiled.
“All right, I’ll see y’all tomorrow.”
“See ya Sweetie!”
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo each made their way to their homes. Sweetie Belle entered and was greeted by Rarity.
“Hello Sweetie, how did school go today?” Rarity said as she hugged Sweetie.
“It was great! Cheerilee did the auditions today! She didn’t post it yet, but I know I got the lead, I’m the best there is!”
“You sure are! You’re my sister, you’re a winner Sweetie!”
“Thank you Rarity, now I think I’m going to go and rest, I want to be ready for the reveal tomorrow.”
“Alright Sweetie, I’ll call you when supper is ready.”
“Thanks Rarity! I love you.”
“I love you too Sweetie!” Rarity smiled.
Sweetie Belle made her way upstairs into her bedroom. She threw her audition script on the floor and laid down on her bed. She couldn’t wait to hear the results.
*The next morning*
Sweetie Belle woke up, looking at the clock, she saw it was seven thirty.
“I’m going to be late for school!” Sweetie ran downstairs, put on her coat as fast as possible and ran to school. Running as fast as she could, which only lasted for five minutes, even then she made it with five minutes to spare. She got in class and sat in her seat.
“Students, I am happy to announce that I made the list and you may look to see what part you got after class.”
“Awwwwwww come on! I want to know now!” Sweetie squeaked.
“I know you want to Sweetie, but don’t worry, today will be a short class, I want to have the chance to talk to every one of you about your part.”
“Fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.” Sweetie said, impatiently.
“Now class todays lesson will be about…”
“Alright students, class is over, go look at the list and meet me after to talk about it.”
Sweetie Belle ran the fastest to the list, leaving a smoke cloud behind her. Excited, she looked.
“Opening singer? What?” Sweetie Belle made her way to Cheerilee.
“Why did I get that boring role?”
“It’s not boring, and yesterday I heard you singing. You have an amazing voice, and I can’t let it go to waste.”
“But I could have gotten my cutie mark in acting.”
“But think of it this way Sweetie Belle, you could get your cutie mark in singing.”
“Well… I can’t argue with that. Alright! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER SINGING CUTIE MARK GO!!!!!!!!!” Cheerilee swore she couldn’t hear after that.
“That’s the spirit Sweetie, now I want you to meet two musicians, they’ll help you with the task at hand. They’re in the music room.”
“Alright, bye Miss Cheerilee.”
“Bye Sweetie Belle, and good luck.”
Sweetie Belle made her way to the music room and entered. Who she saw made her jaw drop and scream in excitement.
“OCTAVIA AND VINYL SCRATCH! I LOVE YOU GUYS! YOU MAKE GREAT MUSIC!”
“You must be Sweetie Belle. Nice to meet you kiddo.” Vinyl Scratch shook Sweetie’s hoof.
“Now I want you to sing the song Cheerilee heard, I want to get an idea of what your voice sounds like.” Octavia announced, excited to hear Sweetie voice.
“Alright, here goes…”
“So what do you think?”
“That was… AMAZING!” Vinyl screamed.
“Yes it was magnificent, I can see why she chose you. Well I look forward to working together, starting now.”
“Wait, I want to give you something Sweetie Belle.” Vinyl walked to her bag and pulled out a tiny gift. She walked to Sweetie and handed it to her.
“Oooooooo ooo ooo what is it, what is it?”
“Open it up kid, you deserve it!”
Sweetie opened the gift. Inside was a pair of dj glasses identical to Vinyl’s. Sweetie put them on right away. She ran up to Vinyl Scratch and hugged her.
“These are awesome! Thank you!”
“You’re welcome kid, they look awesome on you!”
“Alright, let’s get to work. Sweetie, you are going to sing the song Silent Night, have you heard that one before?”
“I love that song. You guys did an amazing job together.”
“Why thank you Sweetie Belle, it’s nice to hear someone your age appreciates classical music. Now Vinyl will play the instrument part, and we’ll practice the lyrics.”
“Sounds great to me!”
“And Vinyl, keep it classical, don’t drop the beat.”
“Alright, alright! Yeesh, live a little.”
“Alright on the count of three.”
“Well that’s all the time we have tonight Sweetie Belle, but come to this room every day after school, and we will practice until next week.”
“Alright, thank you and see you tomorrow.”
Sweetie Belle made her way home, she walked in, excited to tell Rarity the news. She made her way into the kitchen.
“Sis! You’ll never believe what happened today!”
“Why hello Sweetie. Now what is this great news you wish to speak of?”
“I got the part of opening the play with my song!”
“That’s great Sweetie Belle, I’m so proud of you!”
“Here’s the best part! I got to meet Vinyl Scratch and Octavia!”
“The Octavia?”
“Yes!”
“Oh my goodness! I’m so jealous Sweetie… I mean, that’s great! It’s great to know you’ll have some great teachers.”
“You’re jealous aren’t you Rarity?”
“No Sweetie, a lady is never jealous.”
“Whatever you say Rarity.”
“Well Sweetie supper is ready, so feel free to grab some.”
“Not now Rarity, I need to practice my singing.”
“Alright, but make sure you have some later.”
“I will!”
One week has passed, Sweetie Belle practiced everyday with Vinyl and Octavia. She memorized the lyrics quickly and is ready for the play. This is the night before, and she’s at home about to practice.
Sweetie Belle started to practice her singing.
“Silent night, holly night.
All is calm, all is…”
“Sweetie Belle!”
“Yes Rarity?” Sweetie was afraid her sister was mad at her, for some odd reason.
“That was the most beautiful version I’ve heard you sing yet!”
“You really think so Rarity!?” Sweetie wore the biggest smile.
“I do! And I think I shall join you!”
“REALLY!” Sweetie almost passed out right there, from the sheer excitement and happiness.
“Why of course. It’s almost Hearth’s Warming day, and we should spend more sisterly time.” Rarity smiled
“This is the best holiday ever!” Sweetie cheered.
The two started to sing, Sweetie being the lead. They went through the entire song, not stopping. They finished the song, and Rarity spoke first.
“That was perfect Sweetie Belle! I couldn’t be prouder of my sister!”
“Thank you Rarity, do you really think everypony will like it at the play?”
“I KNOW they will! I’m going to invite all the others as well! I can’t wait for them to see you!”
“I can’t wait to sing in front of everybody!”
“That’s the spirit Sweetie! It’s ten at night, you better get to sleep for tomorrow.
“Goodnight Rarity.” Sweetie said as she got into bed.
“Goodnight Sweetie Belle, you’ll wow everypony tomorrow.” Rarity gave her a kiss on the cheek. Rarity left, turning the light off. Sweetie Belle fell asleep almost instantly, singing in her sleep.
*The next morning*
“Sweetie Belle wake up! It’s time to get ready for school.”
“Huh?” Sweetie spoke, as she slowly woke up.
“What! It’s already seven in the morning! I need to hurry!” Sweetie squeaked. She ran downstairs and ate the carrot pancakes Rarity made for her quickly. She ran to the door and put her coat on, when she noticed her sister getting ready as well.
“Why are you getting dressed Rarity?”
“Well, I’d thought I’d walk you to school today.”
“Really!”
“Really.” Sweetie Belle hugged Rarity.
“You’re the best sister ever!”
“I love you too Sweetie.”
The two made their way to the school.
“I’m so excited for tonight Rarity, I’ll see you then.”
“Good luck Sweetie Belle, you’ll do great! I’ll be there to cheer you on.”
Sweetie Belle made her way to class.
“Alright fillies, are you ready for the school play tonight?”
“Yes!” The whole class shouted.
“Excellent. Today’s our last lesson as you all know.” The whole class cheered.
“That is before the holidays. Seeing as it is the holidays, you will have no homework!” This time the class cheered even louder!
“Now today’s lesson is… the magic of the holidays…”
“Alright students, class is over, meet me in the theater, and we will get ready for the play.
“Yes Miss Cheerilee.”
Sweetie Belle made it to the play, last, wanting to get one more practice at the song. She then made her way to the theater, in the dressing room. She was greeted by Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
“Hey Sweetie, what do y’all think of our costumes?”
“They look great!” Sweetie squeaked.
“Are you ready for your big moment Sweetie Belle?”
“I sure am…”
“Alright girls, were on in five minutes. Make sure you’re all ready.”
“Yes Miss Cheerilee.”
“I’ll see you two later, I need to get in position to sing, and good luck!”
“Thank you, you too Sweetie!”
“Thanks.”
Sweetie Belle made her way beside the stage.
“Welcome everypony to our school play. All the students worked really hard on this. Sweetie Belle will start us off with Silent Night, so please give a round of applause for Sweetie Belle!” Cheerilee walked off the stage and Sweetie Belle walked on. Looking in the crowd, she saw her sister and her parents in the front row. Cheer and happiness filled her heart as she started to sing. She was accompanied by Vinyl’s instrumental part and backup vocals from Octavia. She whole crowd was silent, all their faces full of shock, and tears. It was the most beautiful they had heard in a school play. Sweetie Belle finished off strong. The crowd applauded as hard as possible, when suddenly they were flashed by a bright white light. Sweetie Belle looked at her flank, and saw a cutie mark, a microphone. Sweetie Belle yelled as loud as possible:
“I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” She ran up to her sister and parents who all welcomed her with a hug. The whole crowd cheered and applauded. Tears were coming from all four of them. Cheerilee came up on the stage.
“Congratulations Sweetie Belle on getting your cutie mark!” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo then made their way to Sweetie to congratulate her.
“THIS IS THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER!” Sweetie Belle yelled.
The End.
