Equestria's got Talent

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" Sweetie Belle burst into the CMC clubhouse, a flyer of some sort in her hand.

"What is it?" asked Scootaloo and Applebloom both at the same time.

Sweetie Belle showed them the flyer. "Equestria's got Talent is coming to Canterlot High! This could be a huge opportunity for us!"

Scootaloo jumped up in glee, though due to her leg disability, it wasn't that high. "Yes! I bet Rainbow Dash is going to be there and do something AWESOME!"

"Maybe we could do something in it!" exclaimed Applebloom.

"Yeah! That way, we could find out what our special talents are!" said Sweetie Belle.

"But, what could we do?" inquired Scootaloo.

They brainstormed what they could do together and came out with nothing. "I guess we don't have any talents that we share with each other," said Scootaloo.

"Maybe what we should do is something by ourselves. Sweetie Belle has been taking voice lessons from Sunset Shimmer, and Scootaloo can ride around on her scooter really well especially since her last surgery," said Applebloom.

"Yeah, I guess. Hey, when is this thing, anyway?" asked Scootaloo.

Sweetie Belle picked up the flyer. "Next Tuesday after school. We have plenty of time to practice over the weekend."

The other girls nodded and Applebloom checked the clock. "Wow, we've been here so long it's almost time for dinner. You two should get home."

They packed up their things and went home. Sweetie Belle walked to the carousel boutique to meet up with Rarity. When she got there, she found her sewing her next line of clothing. When Sweetie walked in, Rarity did not look up from her work. "Ah, Sweetie Belle. I'm so glad you're here, could you get me some blue fabric?"

Sweetie Belle grabbed a swathe of fabric from the racks. "Here you go, Rarity."

Rarity looked at the fabric and said "No, Sweetie, that's aquamarine. I specifically asked for blue."

"Aren't they the same thing?"

"No. Aquamarine is more of a turquoise. I can't add that on this dress, as it will clash with the red."

Sweetie looked at the dresses she was making. They were all red, white, and blue. "So, is patriotism in style this season, or something?"

"Oh, no. I'm not selling these. These are for the band when we are playing for Equestria's Got Talent. Don't they look lovely?"

"Yeah. Is this blue?"

"No, Sweetie, that's navy blue. I need regular blue. Regular blue is three rows across, two shelves up."

Sweetie Belle got the fabric and handed it to her sister. "So the Rainbooms are auditioning for Equestria's Got Talent?"

"Well, of course! Well, except for Sunset Shimmer. She says that she would rather keep a low profile when it comes to media after what happened at the Fall Formal."

Sweetie Belle could remember all too well. But she decided to shrug it off and went to the kitchen for something to eat. Her parents were always working late, so they couldn't make dinner all the time. She heated up a TV dinner and sat down in front of the TV. She turned it to Equestria's Got Talent, where a person named Noteworthy was singing. She watched, wondering what it would be like to be up on stage. But she had to stop daydreaming and look at reality. She sighed and took a bite of her mac and cheese.

When she finished her meal, Sweetie Belle went up to her room to practice the songs for her voice lessons.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star

and wake up where the clouds are far

behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow. Why, oh then why, can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

above the rainbow why, oh why, can't I?

She closed her vocal lessons song book and put it in her backpack. When she looked at the clock, she found that it was time she started getting ready for bed. She took a shower, put her pajamas on, brushed her teeth, and climbed into bed with her retainer in her mouth. She then slept, dreaming of a grand stage.
