Chapter 1

Sister or Fashion

"Why, you awful, horrible villain; Now it's my turn!" Rarity snaps as she prepares to fight Lorcan next. The unicorn gallops forward, ready to attack. Just then, she notices that Sweetie appears in her place. "What's this? You think some trick would fool me?!"

"Rarity," 'Sweetie' asked, scared. "Are you going to hurt me?"

As if to respond, Rarity angrily punches 'Sweetie' hard, sending her to the ground. As the filly appears to be groaning, the mare snaps, "Nice try, Lorcan! But your shape-shifty powers won't fool me! Pretending to be my sister, how dare you!"

Suddenly Rarity hears a cough, turning to see…Lorcan who looks shocked briefly while standing near the chained CMC...minus Sweetie! The villain remarks, "Oh, sorry; I thought I would trade partners for this scene; Heh heh."

Realization hits Rarity, to her horror. She has hit the real Sweetie! The filly groans in pain, much to the sister's further horror. Lorcan has traded places with Sweetie...and Rarity has hit her, thinking that the villain was trying to fool her!

"Sweetie, no; what have I done?!" Rarity asks in horror and guilt.

"You did hit her, you know." Lorcan points out to Rarity.

"You; You made me do it. You wanted her to get hurt!"

"...No. In fact, the only reason I did it was to see if all ponies are like Twilight. And you just show how right I was. In fact, I kinda waged you not to." With Rarity distracted, Lorcan grabs her by the horn, saying, "What I wanted you to do...prove Sweetie wrong...and now, her role in this fight is over...and so are you!"

With that, Lorcan punches Rarity in the guy and sent her right into the same wall, chaining her up. He then throws Sweetie right back to her, the filly got chained up as well.

"Here, I thought you two sisters can have a talk about your 'fight'." Lorcan taunts evilly to Rarity, leaving the white unicorn horrified by what she has done: hitting Sweetie Belle.

A familiar voice spoke out in the darkness, "Rarity!"

Rarity woke up screaming in her Carousel Baroque, "NO! YOU MONSTER, GET AWAY FROM ME!" The unicorn turns as if about to hit someone...but stops upon seeing Sweetie nearby, looking horrified and scared.

"No, no! Please don't hit me again, Rarity!" Sweetie exclaims in terror as she back away. "I saw you asleep at your sewing machine and try to wake you up gently. Please, please! Don't hit me!"

Rarity notices that she is indeed at her sewing machine, sweating a bit. The unicorn sighs a bit. It's been a while since the downfall of Lorcan and the sad demise of her good friend Spike. But the impact still run deep in the minds of everyone in Equestria.

Rarity feels ashamed of herself. Lorcan has tricked her into hitting Sweetie during that confrontation...and her little sister, while not showing it, has been scared of her since. The white unicorn didn't mean to hit her.

"Please, Sweetie. I'm sorry; I just woke up from a bad dream." Rarity said trying to assure her scared sister. "Actually, more like a memory of..."

"Of when you hit me; Yeah, I understand." Sweetie said in sadness. "You probably wish to do so for real this time."

"Sweetie Belle, that's not true. I..."

"Look, I shouldn't get in your way...I...I will be in my room if you want me out of the way."

Sweetie in worry and sadness gallops upstairs. Rarity looks down in sadness. The two siblings were quite a good team, even if they do drive each other crazy at times. And now, thanks to Lorcan, whatever sibling ship the two sisters has got is now gone. Sweetie is scared of her sister, fearing that she may hit her again. Rarity only did it because she was under the impression that Lorcan has taken her form.

"Oh, if only I can prove to my sister that I still care for her...but how? She is too scared to listen. Oh, this is the....worst possible thing." Rarity said in sadness. She wonders how Applejack and Rainbow Dash are handling problems with the other two members of the CMC.

Just then a knock came at the door, Rarity looks puzzled. The Carousel Baroque is closed for now. Who would be visiting her; probably one of her friend, wanting to help or to ask her of something; Or maybe one of Sweetie Belle's friends, wanting to ask if she could come out to play.

Rarity opens the door but no one is there, this made her a bit worried...until she saw a package on her doorstep and picks it with her magic.

"What's this?" Rarity asks curiously as she reads the tag on the package, 'To Rarity. This shall repair the damages to your sister relationship; From a Friend'.

Rarity blinks in surprise. Who would send her something....and knew about the trouble she and her sister has with their sister relationship? Must be the princess, she must've known and is trying to help repair the emotional damages.

"Better hope that this works." Rarity said as she trots upstairs, heading to Sweetie Belle's room. The mare opens the door while coming in, "Sweetie, it's Rarity. Where..."

Rarity blinks as she saw a zip rushing to underneath Sweetie's bed. The filly's eyes can be seen saying, "Right here, Rarity. Errr, did I do something wrong? Please don't hit me..."

"I'm not; I assure you...look, Sweetie Belle, come out of there. I want to give you something."

"No....I don't want to, just pass it under here and please leave..."

Rarity sigh, her sister is really scared of her. The white mare unicorn got an idea.

"Well, if you won't come out, then I will come under there." Rarity said as she crawls under the bed. Sweetie whimpers as she back away, still scared. The unicorn pass the package to her while saying, "Listen, I won't go further than this. Just open the package that is addressed to me but I think there may be something inside you would like...at least, I hope that is the case."

Sweetie looks skeptic, what could her sister want to give her that the little filly would want? The little sister took the present and opens it...then gasps upon seeing some sort of necklace that has Rarity's Diamond Cutie Mark. It looks like the Element of Generosity...except it is actually an imitation.

"Rarity, Rarity! Look! It looks like...the Element of Generosity but it isn't!" Sweetie exclaims with a happy squeal.

"It is? Oh yes, it is, isn't it?" Rarity asks with a smile. "That way, you would..."

"Be like my big sister, generous and a hero too!"

"Yes, yes, that is the case. Listen, Sweetie, I'm really, truly sorry that I hit you. If I would've gone back in time and stop myself from that awful moment, I would."

"I...yeah, I know you're sorry...deep down I knew you wouldn't hit me. I was scared and hurt that I wasn't thinking straight." Sweetie said while nuzzling Rarity. "I...I'm sorry too that I was scared. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings and..."

"Its okay, Sweetie, its okay," Rarity said, hugging Sweetie while smiling. "Here's an idea; how about we go have some ice cream; my treat."

"That would be great! Can I wear my new necklace?"

"Oh, I don't see why not. You've earned it."

In her throne room, Celestia was checking out the reports of the rebuilding when a scroll appears in front of her via magic. The alicorn wonders if it's a Friendship Report and so early too.

Celestia opens the scroll and reads it, "'Dear Princess Celestia. My sister and I have received your gift. Thank you so much for sending a necklace that looks like my Element of Generosity. It brought both Sweetie and I closer together as sisters again. If anything, it made up for my worst mistake; your servant and friend, Rarity'."

Celestia gave a slight smile, turning to someone hiding in the shadows, her guest. She spoke up, "Odd. I don't recall sending Rarity and Sweetie Belle any gift that saved their sibling ship. Did you have a claw in that?"

"Me? Why, Celly, I have no idea what you mean." The guest said, pretending to be innocent. The smile he gave suggests otherwise.
