Do-Over

The alarm clock rang so loud that it slightly shook the house. The young unicorn filly's eyes shot opened in a startle. Young little Sweetie Belle still tired and just wanted to sleep for another hour or two. She looked at the calendar and suddenly jumped out of her bed with a large smile.

"Today's the day!" Sweetie Belle cried out, jumping out of her bed.

"I'm finally going to tell Scootaloo how I feel about her!" Sweetie picked up her toy bear, tightly hugging it in her hooves.

"And it going to be perfect, Mr. Fluffy. You know why?” She asked the toy, it's head tilting back a bit. “Because I have a plan" Sweetie said. She quickly stopped what she was doing when she heard a noise, alerting her that her sister was still awake. Her bear broke the silence when it suddenly squeaked.

"Shut up you." Sweetie threw the plush bear on her bed, before running out her room.
Sweetie ran to the shower while trying to avoid her older sister, The lovely Rarity.

"Oh Sweetie Belle, good to see you up early for once!" Rarity paused for a moment before rolling her eyes in annoyance. "If you wanted to have a shower, than you're out of luck. The water pipe broke-" Rarity went on about what happened, but Sweetie didn't hear a word.

One part of her perfect plan fell apart. She just hoped that yesterday's shower would hold her over for today. If she had enough time, she would have went to one of her friends' house.

Sweetie shook her head, running down the stairs and quickly eating the pancakes that laid on a plate. Once she finished, she exited the house and headed for school where her day would turn around.

Sweetie walked through the streets, her smile still as strong as ever. Even with a small bump in the road, Sweetie wasn't going to let it ruin her day. Before she knew it, she tripped over a bump in the road, causing her roll across the road. Shaking her head, Sweetie turned around, noticing she landed next to Rose Luck's flower booth.

"Morning, Sweetie Belle! What's with all the running?" Rose Luck said with glee in her voice.

"Hi Rose Luck! Well you see, I want to tell my crush that I like her and... wait, I mean... uh, I-I didn't..." Sweetie Belle tried to get her bearings back, but just kept stumbling over her words. Everything she said just made Rose Luck's smile to grow.

"Oh young love, how sweet. I remember when I was just like that. A dashing young colt swept me off my hooves." Rose said with a small sigh.

A brown Earth pony pulling a cart of mud for the plants was walking up to the booth. The wheel of his cart hit the bump on the road, causing it all to get on Sweetie Belle. The stallion pause to look at the filly.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" He cried out.

Sweetie Belle just ran away from the flower booth, tears running down her cheeks. Her best day ever is slowly turning into the worst.

She stomp her hoof in rage. She snapped out of her state once she heard laughter. However, the laughter was pointed at her. She looked around and saw other fillies and colts laughing at her. Her cheeks grew redder from embarrassment and rage. She tried her best, but all her anger was released in one sentence.

"I just want a do-over!" Sweetie Belle screamed into the sky, her tears still running down her cheeks.

Silence, that's all there was. Sweetie lifted her head and noticed that the ponies were sill there, but they weren't moving. In fact, nothing was moving. The fountain, the birds, even the leaves falling from the trees were suspended in the air.

"I can help you with that my young little filly." A disembodied voice echoed through the frozen park.

The voice sounded familiar to Sweetie. She actually knew it far too well. She turned to look at the draconequus that sat in a nearby tree, taking a bite out of a already eaten apple just for the bite to come back.

"So, you want a do-over? I can help. You see, I would like Rarity to warm up to me for... personal reasons. I thought of many other ways, but nothing brings friends closer than helping out her little sister with her crush." Discord said, his grin had evil written all over it.

"Fine, just please help me out." Sweetie said, making Discord laugh.

"Of course, just remember to tell Rarity what I did." Discord touched Sweetie's horn, making it glow a hot pink color.

"Now all you need to say is 'Do-Over' and the day will restart at six in the morning when you woke up. The spell will end once Scootaloo returns your feelings." Discord explained before teleporting away, just to come back and bend down to make Sweetie look into those creepy yellow eyes of his.

"Oh, and you'll keep all of your memories from each day, so no mistakes will be made." Discord said, standing back up, snapping his fingers once more and disappearing.

Sweetie looked where The Lord of Chaos used to stand, only to see pink butterflies in his place. Sweetie thought they looked like Fluttershy's cutie mark, but that would just be ridiculous.

Suddenly, time started moving normally again. The leaves continued to fall, the fountain continued to flow, and the ponies continued to laugh at Sweetie Belle. Shaking her head, the young unicorn took a deep breath, hoping what Discord said was true.

"Do-Over" Sweetie said. Her eyes shut, not being able to see the world around her. Everything was in complete and totally darkness.

The alarm clock rang once again, waking Sweetie Belle from her sleep. She looked at her Calendar to see that it was still the same day. Discord kept his word and Sweetie was happy he did.

"Yes! I got another chance to tell Scootaloo how I feel. And this time, it's going to be perfect." Sweetie said, just before rushing out of her room.

Barely saying goodbye to her older sister, Sweetie rushed over to the closest friend's house. Pinkie Pie at Sugar Cube Corner. Seeing the closed sign, Sweetie knocked on the door. A few seconds later, Mrs. Cake opened it with tired eyes.

"Sweetie Belle?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.

"I know you're closed, but my shower isn't working and I was wanted to tell my crush that I like her." Sweetie said, causing Mrs. Cake to smile and move aside to let the small filly.

Right after her shower, Sweetie began eating her breakfast at the sweet shop, before thanking Mrs. Cake for her generosity. With a new spring in her step, Sweetie made it to Rose Luck's Flower booth... again.

She soon heard the hoof steps from the stallion pulling his cart down the street. Sweetie smiled, moving out of the way when the mud flew out the cart, completely missing her her.

"I would like some purple lilies please." Sweetie said with a smile, trying to hold in her glee.

"That will be three bits." Rose said, causing Sweetie to search herself.

"Oh shoot, I must have spent my money at Sugar Cube Corner for breakfast." Sweetie realized, smacking herself.

"Oh that's no problem, it's on the house. This is your crush and everything needs to be perfect." Rose said.

Sweetie thanked Rose and took the flowers with a smirk on her face.

And I got unlimited tries until it is perfect.

Sweetie Belle walked through the gates of the Ponyville School House, seeing Scootaloo talking to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon about something, but Sweetie didn't bother to pay attention to it.

"Hey Scootaloo, I got these for you!" Sweetie said, causing Scootaloo to look at her unicorn friend.

"Wow, umm... Thanks Sweetie." Scootaloo said, causing Sweetie to smile in victory while Scootaloo smelled her flowers. “Alright, now's the time to-”

"Wait, are these Lilly's? I'm allergic to these." Scootaloo said before she started to coughing.

"Do-Over." Sweetie Belle moaned.

Try# 3

Third times the charm! This has gotta work. I mean, who doesn't like roses?

Sweetie once again walked through the gates, this time nothing will beat her perfect day. She stopped for a second, noticing Scootaloo talking to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. She thought for a second and listened closely to their conversation.

"-So I told the colt that if he really wanted me to go out with him, he should've tried something else than giving me roses. Isn't that like, the cheapest way to ask somepony out?" Scootaloo said, this time with Sweetie hearing loud and clear.

The orange pegasus looked over at her unicorn friend with a smile.

"Oh, hey Sweets! What are you doing with those roses?" Scootaloo asked. In a panicked manner, Sweetie devoured the bouquet without any hesitation.

"Nothing!" She said, her mouth filled with petals and stems. Scootaloo turned with a shrug before Sweetie coughed out the roses.

"Do-Over."

Try# 5

Sweetie took deep breathes while on the other side of the school gate. Last time, Sweetie got covered in paint by a pegsi carrying the buckets and one just happened to fall on her. But this time it is different, this will be the day. Sweetie will just have to show Scootaloo what she feels about the pegasus.

"Scootaloo, can I talk to you for a second?" Sweetie asked, causing Scootaloo to turn and look at her friend.

"Yeah of course. What's up Sweets?" Scootaloo asked.

"I gotta show you something at the park." Sweetie said, making Scootaloo smile.

"Alright then, I'll just grab my scooter" Scootaloo said.

Perfect. Everything is just....

"AHH SNAKES!" Sweetie turned around to see Scootaloo being attacked by snakes.

At a school house.

"AHH FLOATING CHAINSAWS" Sweetie's eye started to twitch.

"SNAKE HOLDING CHAINSAWS!"

"Do-Over!"

Try# 20

A T-Rex stomped, destroying Ponyville. Sweetie turned to look at Time Turner with a glare.

"I was able to travel back in time, but it seems that I've also brought the past to us." Time Turner explained.

"Do-Over!!"

Try# 45

A lazer turned Twilight's castle to dust. Aliens started to attack Equestria. Sweetie Belle seemed to be getting more insane by the minute.

"Do-Over!!!"

Try# 82

Sweetie tried giving chocolates to Scootaloo in a heart shaped box with a note saying 'I really like you. Won't you be my filly friend?'

It turns out that Scootaloo doesn't like chocolates. Oh, and she tried to say it so it wouldn't hurt Sweetie's feelings. It was more rage than sadness just having to do the day over once again. Young Sweetie Belle was starting to get tired of all this.

"!!!Do-Over!!!"

Try# 120

"I have had enough!" Sweetie Belle screamed once she was at school, causing the other ponies to turn and look at the enraged filly.

Scootaloo went over to her friend. The two were sitting far away from the others so nopony would overhear.

"Sweetie, what's up? It seems like you've been living the same day eight times." Scootaloo wondered, causing Sweetie to start laughing.

"Eight? Eight! Try one hundred and twenty times! All I wanted was the perfect day to tell my crush how I feel, but no, everything has to go wrong!"

“What are you talking about?” Scootaloo asked, totally confused by what Sweetie said.

"Well, I met up with Discord and he helped me with restarting the day over again, but then a T-Rex with laser eyes starts attacking or maybe snakes holding chainsaws. How can a snake even hold a chainsaw, it has no arms! I just give up!" Sweetie said, her head falling on the table.

"Um, why don't you just do it now?" Scootaloo asked, causing Sweetie to lift her head. "It doesn't have to be perfect. You're the coolest filly I know, Sweetie and I'm happy to know you. Plus, you went out of your way to do all this just to show your crush you like him. Well if he doesn't like you back then there's something wrong with him." Scootaloo said, causing Sweetie to hug the pegasus tightly.

"Ahh, your hugging me!" Scootaloo cried out.

"I can't help it, your just so huggable. But there is one problem... my crush is a girl" Sweetie said, releasing Scootaloo from her embrace and moved her face away to hide the blush.

"Then she doesn't know-" Scootaloo was cut short with Sweetie pressing her lips against the pegasus', causing Scootaloo to pull the unicorn closer.

Once the two's kiss was broke, Scootaloo just gave a smirk.

"You do know that I have a crush on you also right? I mean, all you needed to do was just ask." Scootaloo said, making Sweetie slap herself with her hoof.

"Let me guess, Do-Over?"

"Not this time." Sweetie Belle said, before bringing her new fillyfriend in for another kiss.
