Chapter 1

Rarity puffed up her new line of dresses as she heard an ear-splitting shriek.

"OhmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmegoshohMyGOSH" A white filly burst into the room with the most exited face Rarity had seen. "It's here Rarity!" Sweetie Belle screamed. "I don't remember ordering a package or anything. By what do you mean it-" "My cutie mark!" Sweetie Belle interrupted Rarity and shoved her flank in her face. A shimmering pink heart had appeared with a coil of ribbon around it. At the end of the ribbon chimed a bell with notes.

Rarity started to squeal along with her little sister. "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh my little Sweetie is all grown up!" she exclaimed. Sweetie Belle jumped up and down in unison with her sister.

"I can't wait to tell Applebloom!" She screamed. The filly ran out the door and straight to a red barn with all of her friend's family gathering around the yellow and red filly with a beautiful flower on her flank.

"Sweetie Belle!" Applebloom shrieked "So nice to see you again!" She said. "It's only been like 2 days," Sweetie questioned Applebloom's thoughts. Was she growing up? Sweetie just ignored the questions in her head and instead focused on showing her friend her new cutie mark.

"I was just singing and I guess I got carried away and pretended I was a rock star and sang really loud...." Sweetie Belle blushed "That's it! You're talent is singin'! I always knew you were mighty-fine at singin' but I would have never guessed it would be your cutie mark!" she noticed her taking in her older sister's southern accent, and confirmed she was maturing

"I can't wait to tell Scoo-" Sweetie Belle and Applebloom stopped and stood in a silence for a moment. "Don't ya think....," they both stole awkward glances at each other.

"Let's go tell her at... um... an.... ice cream shop?" Sweetie Belle suggested. "Yeah, ice cream, and maybe you can carry a sattle bag to eh....," She knew what Applebloom was going to say, and nodded in acceptance.

"Scootaloo!" The two girls were watching the orange pony above barely making it off the ground off a cloud her mentor, Rainbow Dash, had put her on for practice. "Hold on girls," Scootaloo was trying so hard to get her cutie mark just like Rainbow's. "Heya Scoots! Let's get some Ice Cream!" Sweetie Belle shouted.
