Chapter Two-Green Heritage

“Where are you taking me, Rarity?” Sweetie asked as Rarity took her outside

“You’ll see soon, very very soon.” . Sweetie groaned as she walked to Sweet Apple Acres behind Rarity who was wearing mud-shoes for once in her life.  As the Apple’s barn came into view, Sweetie began running towards the house where Applebloom was waving at her.  She skidded to a stop at their front entrance, saving herself from colliding with the bright red barn doors. “Applebloom?”Sweetie Belle called out to her friend, but received a giant hug instead of a reply.  “Sweetie! You didn’t tell me y’all were comin’ today!” Applebloom yelled in her high-pitched voice with a thick southern accent

“AJ! Could you get Sweetie and Rarity a snack?” she called

“Actually, Bloom, we have a matter to discuss. Can ya please go up to your room, sis?”Applejack asked, upsetting Applebloom slightly

“Sweetie, can you please sit on the couch, darling” Rarity asked politely

“So, what is this ‘matter’ we have to ‘discuss’”Sweetie asked making air quotes

“It’s about yer dad and yer eyes, Sweetie.”Applejack replied

“But I know my dad, and what about my eyes?”

“We know you’ve wondered about the colour of them.”

“And we’re gonna take you to see who ya got ‘em from.”

And with that the older mares walked away, signaling Sweetie to follow them and she did.

Chapter Three-Meet Your Father, Sweetie

As the trio kept walking they reached a cottage built inside a mountain.  Applejack reached out a hoof and knocked on the thick wooden door before calling for the pony inside.  “Uh, dad? Can ah come in?”she asked

“Dad?”Sweetie said, clearly confused.  A red stallion with bright green eyes and wavy mane stepped out and greeted them.  “Ah, AJ, you’ve grew!” he exclaimed

“Aw, shucks, Ah haven’t, dad.”she replied blushing furiously

“Who are these two pearls?”he asked using a deep southern accent

“Rarity, mah friend, and, uh, Sweetie Belle, her sis. Uh, dad she wants to know why she has green eyes instead of the typical blue in her family.”

“Oh, well it’s a long, disappointing and embarrassing tale, should ah get y’all some tea?”

“Yes, please.  That will be great, thank you.” Rarity replied and with that he left to the kitchen, while Sweetie Belle laid on the couch, waiting to hear the story.

Chapter One-Why?

Sweetie Belle couldn’t help but stare into her reflection’s eyes.  There was one thing she had never understanded, no pony in her family has ever had green eyes and yet, somehow, she managed to get them.  She had tried to search on the Ponynet for any disorders that may have caused this, but no luck.  She keeps wondering, and she couldn’t take it anymore.  Despite feeling like this, she couldn’t bring herself to ask her parents, she doesn’t know how they will react if she asked them why she broke their history of blue-eyes.  Sweetie sighed on her bed,  completely tired out from the adventures she had with her fellow Cutie Marks (Not-So) Crusaders.  She can’t take this anymore, she trotted over to Rarity’s room and gently knocked on her door.

“Um… Rarity?” She called

“Yes, Sweetie?” Rarity replied

“Do you know why my eyes are green?”

“N-no, w-why would you ask that?”she stuttered

“Oh, that’s fine Rarity, bye.” Sweetie farewelled, leaving the door to Rarity’s bedroom wide open but Rarity didn’t care, her sister was upset for not getting an answer and she is about to fix that.

~The Next Morning~

“Ugh!  Give it a rest Rarity! I need more sleep!” Sweetie shouts

“It’s time for breakfast, and there’s somepony I would like you to meet.”

“FINE! I’ll get out at six thirty in the morning.”

After finally getting herself to look presentable, Sweetie Belle trotted out of her room and into the dining room where a stack of Bon Bon’s famous chocolate chip pancake were waiting for her. As she started to dig in she remembered what Rarity.  “Oh yeah, who do you want me to meet again, Rarity?”

“You’ll see when you get there, darling.”the alabaster mare replied with a wink.

~The Night Before~

“Wha’cha waking me for, Rares?”Applejack questioned over the line

“I want you to show Sweetie her father tomorrow, dear”

“Okay, but why?”

“Just do it, Applejack.”

“‘kay, just drop by tomorrow and Ah’d take her. Ah gotta go now, bye Rarity.”
