It was a dark and stormy evening in the middle of Fall on the second day of October, and Rarity was busy completing her latest order’s for a very important client from Canterlot. The client in question was none other than the musically talented Sapphire Shores, who requested a brand new line of ensembles for her upcoming tour later that very month. Rarity was in the process of starting on the final dress, the last one out of thirty total dresses she had been requested to make all in a few weeks’ time. She was just about to fire up her sewing machine when she was interrupted by a young unicorn filly bouncing into the room, full of energy and boredom.
“Raaaaaaaaarity!” the young filly whined, “Are you almost done with your work yet? You promised me we could go to the movies once you finished.”
Rarity sighed heavily. Her parent’s had left her sister Sweetie Belle with her over the weekend, despite Rarity’s instance that she was far too busy to watch over the young filly. She had promised Sweetie to take her to see the new Power Ponies movie after she was done with her order to keep the young filly quiet and out of the way, but Sweetie Belle was growing steadily impatient, and had started to interrupt her every thirty minutes.
“Not yet Sweetie Belle, this is a really big order I’m trying to fill.” She told the young filly, starting on sewing the hem’s of the dress. “I promise I will take you to the movies ONCE I am done. But please stop interrupting me while I am trying to work, or this will take even longer.”
“Can I at least help?” Sweetie Belle asked, suddenly right next to here, peering at the sewing machine.
“You can help by staying out of my way until I am finished with my work!” was Rarity’s response, gently shoving the young filly away from the machine.
“But..” The young filly tried again
“No Sweetie Belle” Rarity said sternly, pointing out the door. “Please go find something else to do, and stop bothering me while I’m trying to work. Well go to the movies together WHEN I AM DONE!”
Sweetie Belle left the room, head low to the ground. Rarity watched her sister go before returning to her work, muttering under her breath about annoying little sister’s and the trouble they cause. A few minutes into it she had managed to get the main stitches put in, and was about to start working on the details when she heard a loud crash coming from the kitchen. Rushing into the kitchen to investigate, she found Sweetie Belle had apparently broken the cookie jar while trying to reach for it with her magic.
“Sorry Rarity” the young filly replied sheepishly. “That cookie jar was really heavy”.
Rarity glared at her sister before reaching for a broom and dustpan with her magic, and handing it to Sweetie Belle. “Just clean up this mess and try to be more careful, I really don’t have time for this!!!” she stated angrily. She turned around and returned to her work, leaving Sweetie Belle to clean up the mess. Upon returning she managed to get the five more minutes of stitching done before yet another loud sound interrupted her from her work.
“WHAT NOW???” she screamed by now thoroughly irritated, leaving to investigate her the latest victim to her sister’s boredom. This time she walked into the living room to find Sweetie Belle had knocked over one of her favorite lamps while trying to move a chair to grab one of her comics that had fallen under it.
“Oops” Sweetie Belle said nervously “Guess I should have watched where I was pushing the chair.”
Rarity picked up the remains of her lamp with her magic, and threw them into the closet. By the time she returned to face her little sister, she was livid with anger to say in the least.
“NOW LISTEN HERE” she shouted at the young filly at the top her lungs, causing Sweetie Belle to cower into the wall behind her. “I HAVE HAD QUITE ENOUGH OF YOUR NONE SENSE TODAY. ALL IVE ASKED ALL DAY IS FOR YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE LONG ENOUGH TO FINISH A VERY IMPORTANT ORDER ON WHICH MY ENTIRE CAREER..NO… MY ENTIRE LIFE DEPEND’S ON, AND ALL YOU HAVE DONE ALL DAY IS INTERRUPT ME AND DRIVE ME CRAZY. ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE MY LIFE MISERABLE OR JUST REALLY TALENTED AT IT? I’M SURPRISED YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN YOUR CUTIE MARK AT BEING THE WORLDS MOST ANNOYING SISTER, BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU THERE CAN’T POSSIBLY BE ANY PONY MORE OF A PAIN TO LIVE WITH THEN YOU!!!!!!”
As she finished those last words Sweetie Belle burst into tears and fled into her room slamming the door behind her. Rarity realized she had gone way too far, but was still quite annoyed at her sister’s constant antics. She returned to her work, finally managing to finish the final dress in a matter of two hours without any more interruptions from Sweetie Belle. Upon completion, she set the final dress on the rack alongside the other 20 she had made, and sighed with relief that she was finally done. Leaving the room she prepared to leave for the movie and called for Sweetie Belle. After hearing no response, she recalled the argument they had earlier, and made her way up to Sweetie Belle’s room and knocked on the door.
“Sweetie Belle darling” she called “May I come in?”
“GO AWAY” her sister angrily replied
Rarity opened the door to find her sister lying on the floor reading her Power Ponies comics, her eyes were red and puffy from crying for the past few hours. Rarity joined her sister on the floor and tried to put a comforting hoof around her shoulder, only to have Sweetie Belle back away, and glare angrily back at her.
“Sweetie Belle listen, I should not have said any of those things I said earlier” Rarity began apologizing. “I was just really angry and stressed, and wanted to get the order done and out of the way, you have no idea how taxing doing such work for such important ponies can be. But I never should had shouted at you.”
Sweetie Belle looked up at her with a slightly softened expression. “But you still think I’m the world’s most annoying sister?” she asked accusingly.
Rarity forced her arm around Sweetie Belle, bringing her into a tight embrace. “Of course not Sweetie” she reassured her. “All sisters have a tendency to get on each other’s nerves, even me. But that does not make me love you any less.” The two sister’s share another tight embrace before breaking apart.
“So are you still wanting to go see the Power Ponies movie with me?” Rarity asked smiling.
“Am I EVER!!!” was Sweetie Belle’s reply. She rushed out the door to grab her coat and get ready. Rarity followed her out laughing, and the two soon left the house though the stormy weather, not a care in the world for the fact is was raining and cold so long as they each had each other.
