Sweetie Belle's New Experiences

Setting Up the Meeting

Two and a half months had passed since graduation and while Scootaloo had already left for the academy and Apple Bloom had already headed out to Fillydelphia, it was the day before students were allowed to move in at Canterlot University and much to Rarity's dismay, Sweetie Belle had yet to get in touch with Silver Spoon over whether she could travel with her. While Sweetie Belle had been meaning to, she was nervous about it.

She was pacing back and forth frantically saying to herself, "Come on Sweetie Belle, you have to do this if you want a way to get up there and get back home!" Finally after ten minutes of pacing, Sweetie picked up the phone, called Silver Spoon and hoped for the best.

As the phone was ringing Sweetie had a sick feeling in her stomach and finally someone answered the phone.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hi, can I speak to Silver Spoon?"

An older female voice yelled, "Silver Spoon, phone!"

It wasn't a minute until Silver answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi Silver, it's Sweetie Belle. I'm wondering if you would be willing to meet up somewhere. I really need to talk to you."

Silver had a feeling as to why she wanted to talk, "Let me guess, you want to talk to me about riding back and forth from Canterlot with me?"

"Yeah, I was thinking we could meet up at Sugarcube Corner." She paused for a second and continued, "It's on me."

"Alright. I take it you need a ride?"

"Yes, that wold be nice. Could you pick me up at my place?"

"Sure, I'll be there in a couple of minutes."

"Alright, thanks!"

Sweetie breathed a sigh of relief. She had got past the hardest part, now was her meeting with Silver, which she wanted to look good for. She knew that if she dressed too plainly that Silver may not agree to this so she headed upstairs to change her clothes. She took her pants off and put a skirt on in their place. She also changed out of her t-shirt into something a bit more snug. She smiled at herself in the mirror, "Well Sweetie, here goes nothing."

As she was heading downstairs Rarity saw her. She asked, "Sweetie, where are you going?"

Sweetie replied, "I'm going outside to wait for Silver Spoon. We're going to Sugarcube Corner to talk."

Rarity asked, "Oh, and how are you going to afford anything? I doubt Silver is just going to offer to buy you something."

Sweetie replied, "Don't worry sis. I have money for something" She heard a horn honking and knew that Silver was out there waiting. She finished, "I better get going, she's here."

Before Rarity could say anything Sweetie rushed out the door to find Silver waiting.

The Meeting

As Sweetie headed towards her car, Silver's jaw dropped open when she saw that she wasn't dressed like she normally would. She noticed that she had dressed nicely for her. She said, "Oh hi Sweetie." She took a closer look at her and added, "You look nice."

Sweetie saw that Silver had dressed somewhat similarly to her and replied, "You look nice too."

Sweetie felt odd as she got into Silver's car, as it was much fancier than the one Rarity drove around. At first it was an odd silence between the two until Sweetie broke the silence, "So, are you excited to be getting away from your parents?"

Silver replied, "Of course I am. While they have provided for me well and given me anything a girl could ever want, I'm ready to have some of my own space." She looked over at Sweetie and asked, "What about you? Are you excited to be getting away from Rarity?"

Sweetie replied, "Yeah, I am. I'll admit, I'll probably miss home a little bit......"

Silver interrupted, "Well I'm not sure how often I will be coming back down here so if you want to ride with me, I won't be coming back here every time you get homesick."

Before Sweetie could reply they arrived at the sweets shop and headed in. When they got to the counter they looked at all the treats with smiles on their faces. Silver asked, "So Sweetie, what's my limit?"

Sweetie replied, "Would ten bits be ok?"

Ten bits was nothing in the eyes of Silver but she knew that Sweetie was not as wealthy as she was, "Yeah, that will be ok."

The two placed their orders and headed to a table where they got down to business. Silver asked, "So you want to ride with me up to and back from Canterlot?"

Sweetie replied, "Yeah. I figured since we're both studying the same thing that our schedules will be similar so it might be convenient for you."

Silver rolled her eyes, "Yeah, I'm sure it would but like I said, I won't be coming back every weekend. That isn't going to be a problem is it?"

Sweetie replied, "No, not at all. I know we'll be traveling when it is convenient for you."

Silver added, "And I won't take you on special shopping trips either. If you want to go shopping, you'll do it when I do. Is that alright?"

Sweetie replied, "Yes, it will be just fine." She then asked, "So am I going to have to chip in for gas or anything?"

Silver did a facepalm over this question. She sighed, "Yes, it would be nice if you could once in a while. I won't expect it tomorrow but don't be expecting free rides all the time."

Sweetie replied, "Alright, I understand that."

The two then got to talking about regular, everyday things while they finished their treats. After another thirty minutes of talking they finished their treats and Silver took Sweetie home. Before she got out of her car, Silver grabbed Sweetie's shoulder and asked, "How does 630 sound to you?"

Sweetie replied, "630 sounds good."

Silver said, "Good." Just as Sweetie was getting out, Silver swatted her butt and continued, "Alright Sweetie, see you in the morning."

Sweetie replied, "See you tomorrow."

Once Silver pulled away Sweetie felt a great sense of relief. She had her ride set up and knew what time she had to be ready so she headed up to her room and began to pack. She looked at all her clothes and began to wonder if there would even be enough room in Silver's car to transport all their clothes. Because of this, Sweetie decided that she would only pack her favorite clothes. While this would mean she would have to do laundry more often, she knew that Silver likely didn't have a ton of room.
