Sweetie Belle returns

     To Sweetie Belle's surprise, when she arrived, Rarity was there waiting for her.

"Sweetie! What took you so long? The whole crew is waiting!"

Sweetie Belle groaned "I was held back by the fan mobs. Sometimes I wish that they would just leave me alone"

Rarity opened her mouth "Sweetie, I-" she was abruptly cut short by one of the stage managers yelling Sweetie Belle's name.

"Well, I gotta go. Cheer extra loudly for me!" joked Sweetie. Rarity didn't respond, but just walked off toward the audience area.

huh wondered Sweetie Belle I wonder what's bothering her? she shrugged, and walked off toward her dressing room.

     Sweetie was sitting in her dressing room. She had an anxious feeling about this performance. Like something was going to go wrong. She shook her head. What was she thinking? She'd done tons of performances before! But for some reason, this time, she felt... odd. No, literally. Sweetie Belle felt kind of... queasy. The room started to spin. Sweetie Belle put her hand up against her head to steady herself. It didn't help. The last thing she heard was her stage manager telling her that she was on in five, then everything went black.

    Sweetie woke up to a beeping noise. A tall figure in a white coat stood above her. When it realized that she was awake, he smiled.

"Ah, i see you've awoken, Sweetie Belle"

It didn't take long for Sweetie to put two and two together.

"Hospital? No no no! This can't happen to me! How did this happen to me?!"

"It appears that you've been... poisoned."

"Poisoned? How?"

"What have you eaten or drank recently?"

Sweetie Belle put her hand on her forehead as she tried to recall the foggy memories.

"Let's see... I woke up, showered, and... oh! I had Muffins for breakfast!"

The doctor looked over his clipboard that he was writing this down on.

" And who, might I ask, made those muffins for you?"

"My sister, Rarity, but she would never intentionally hurt me..." Sweetie's voice trailed off "Would she?"

"Ask her for yourself" The doctor said, sternly.

The door swung open, and there was Rarity.

Sweetie Belle could barely open her mouth too say anything, when Rarity flung herself on top of her.

"Oh Sweetie!" she sobbed "I was so worried about you!" Now Sweetie Belle was confused.

"Excuse me, doctor, can you give me and my sister a minute alone?" The doctor nodded his head respectfully, then walked out of the door. As soon as he left, Sweetie sat up.

"What the heck, sis?!"

"Wha..."

"How dare you!? First you poison me, now you act like you care about me!?"

"I-I... I did it for your own good!"

"Poisoned me?! For my own good?! Pfffft"

"No! You don't understand! If you had gone out on that stage, something... bad would've happened. That's why I put a knockout potion in your muffins!"

Sweetie Belle sat up straighter."What do you mean... bad?"

"Sabotage the stage. So that when you were on, it would all come crashing down on you"

"H-how do you know about this?!" Sweetie Belle demanded "who was going to do it?"

"S-Sweetie. I know about this because overheard her talking about it."

"Who was going to do it?!" Sweetie Belle demanded, shouting now.

Rarity gulped. " Silver Spoon"
