Sweetie Belle's New Experiences

A Morning Meeting

The following morning arrived and Sweetie was waken up by the morning sun. She put her arm over her eyes and groaned, "Ugh, it's morning already?" She sat up and discovered that Silver had never came back overnight as that pile of clothes was still on her bed. She couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe I ran that little bitch off. Maybe I won't have to put up with her anymore!"

Soon the phone would ring,

"Hello, who is this?"

"This is James Lodging, the housing director here at Canterlot University. Am I speaking to Sweetie Belle?"

"Yes, I am Sweetie Belle."

"Good, I need you to get down to the housing office immediately."

"Well let me shower, it shouldn't take any longer than fifteen minutes."

"No, I need you down here now, ok. We have something serious to discuss regarding your roommate."

"Fine, I'll get dressed and head down there."

"Good, she you shortly."

*CLICK*

Sweetie got dressed and headed down to the housing office where she would be greeted by the housing director. He asked, "You're Sweetie Belle, right?"

Sweetie was not one bit thrilled to have to go out before showering but knew that she had to maintain a professional attitude here. She replied, "Yes, I am she."

He pointed towards his office and ordered, "Go in, we have some important things to discuss."

Sweetie followed him in and found not just one girl, but two. One was Silver Spoon and the other was a girl clad in black with long black hair. Sweetie had a feeling as to what was going to happen. Once they were in his office he closed the door and continued, "Sweetie Belle, I'm sure you know why I've called you here."

Sweetie sighed, "Yes. I take it involves the blow up I had with my roommate yesterday afternoon?"

James replied, "It is." He cast his gaze to Silver and continued, "Silver, do you want to tell her or should I?"

Silver replied, "I will." She looked at Sweetie and began, "Sweetie, I don't think you and I can be roommates anymore. We went from being as close as can be to being so different." She began to tear up, "Look, I know I was a bad girlfriend but that was no reason for you to treat me the way you did yesterday! I would have given you another chance even though you were so mean......"

James interrupted, "Silver Spoon, this meeting is to discuss the rooming situation involving not just you two, but Dark Song as well. This is not couples counseling."

Silver sniffled, "Ok."

James continued, "Sweetie Belle, it is clearly obvious that there is no possible way that you could room with Silver Spoon given your history." He pointed at Dark Song and continued, "Dark Song is having roommate issues of her own."

Dark Song added, "I am. My current roommate and I just clash. I don't hate her or anything but she is so happy all the time and it is annoying. When James learned of your situation he believed that perhaps you and I would be a better fit."

Sweetie began to examine the young woman and picked up positive energy from her. She replied, "You know, I think you and I will be a good fit."

Dark gave her an embrace and said, "Good, I'm so happy to be getting away from my roommate! I hope we can grow close."

Sweetie replied, "As do I." She cast her gaze towards James and asked, "So who is moving where and when are we going to do this? We do have classes today after all."

James replied, "It will begin this evening at 1730 once all of your classes are over. As far as who is moving where, Dark Song will be moving in with you and Silver will be moving in with her old roommate."

Silver was not thrilled with this. She snapped, "What? I'm the one who was treated like dirt and I'm the one who has to move? Why shouldn't she have to be the one to move? Why can't she just move in with her and her old roommate could move in with me?"

James replied, "Because this is what I think the best option is." He looked up at the clock and continued, "Well ladies, I think it is time to adjourn this meeting because I'm sure you need to eat some breakfast and then go to class."

Silver asked, "So Sweetie, what are we going to do about everything we shared? I'm not just going to let you have half of those clothes."

Sweetie rolled her eyes and sighed, "You go ahead and take them all Silver, it's not like I'd be wearing them anyway but I would advise you go and buy your own books for the classes we have together. My scholarship covered the books we shared and I certainly have no plans on giving them to you and having to go buy my own."

Silver stuck her lip out and began to whine, "Oh ok, I just thought you might do one last nice thing for poor little......"

Sweetie interrupted, "Give it a rest Silver Spoon. I'm in no mood for that."

James rolled his eyes over Silver's whining as the girls left his office to head off to their classes. He sighed, "I just hope they get along better with their new roommates."

Sweetie's New Roommate

For both Sweetie and Silver, the day seemed to drag by as they simply wanted to finally move forward from rooming together. As their final class of the day ended and they headed back to their dorm, Sweetie couldn't help but smile knowing that this would be the final walk back to her dorm with Silver.

Once they arrived Silver began to pack her things. While she was trying her best to not show any emotion, she couldn't help but weep quietly as she remembered all the wonderful times that her and Sweetie had in there. It hurt her that their final moments of being roommates would be spent like this. It hurt her that those final moments would be spent not in a loving embrace as they moved out together after graduation but instead packing to move to another room with Sweetie's cold, icy glare watching her every move.

A bit before 1830 Silver had packed up all her things and was ready to go. She couldn't bring herself to make eye contact with Sweetie so she looked down and sighed, "Well Sweetie, I guess this is it. I want you to know that I don't wish you any ill will and may you succeed in whatever you do."

Sweetie sighed, "Same here Silver, same here."

Before she could say anything else she heard a knock on the door. Sweetie opened it and there was Dark Song, with her suitcases. Sweetie noticed that Dark's suitcases were rather heavy so she grabbed one for her. Once both of her suitcases were in, both of them stared at Silver as she had her suitcases packed. Silver saw this as the cue that it was time to go. As she was carrying her suitcases out the door she sighed, "Well good-bye Sweetie."

Sweetie replied, "Bye Silver."

As Silver left and the door closed, Sweetie threw her hands up in the air and said, "Yesss! Finally!"

Dark Song smiled, "I take it you're as happy to be rid of her as I am to get away from my old roommate?"

Sweetie replied, "Yep, it seems that way."

Dark Song began to unpack and became curious about her roommate. She asked, "So Sweetie, I think we should get to know one another so I'm wondering if you'd tell me a little about yourself."

Sweetie replied, "Sounds good. Well I'm originally from Appleton, a small town off to the east of here."

Dark asked, "What is it like down there?"

Sweetie replied, "Well it is like all other small towns, not much happens on there and there are farms down there."

Dark asked, "Given the name of the town, I take it that there are apple orchards down there?"

Sweetie replied, "Yes, there are." She grabbed a photo of her and her friends and showed it to her. She continued, "This is a picture of me and my friends. That is me in the middle, the girl on the left with the bow in her hair is Apple Bloom and the girl on the right in the Air Force Academy shirt on is Scootaloo."

She took a look at the picture and then at Sweetie. She asked, "Seriously, that girl in the middle was you? You looked so different back then."

Sweetie replied, "Yeah, I was quite a bit more naive back then. Hell it wasn't until this semester that I realized that life isn't a bowl of cherries and discovered that being all cheery like that is ridiculous."

Dark put her arm around her and said, "Well I think you look a lot better like this."

Sweetie replied, "Uh, thanks." She then asked, "What about you? How about you tell me a bit about yourself?"

Dark replied, "Well I'm originally from Vanhoover." She got in one of her suitcases and grabbed a picture of her and her family. She pointed them out and continued, "The woman in the slacks and white shirt is Morning Dew, the man in the business suit is my father, High Rise, the guy in the navy uniform is my older brother, Blazing Glory and the younger girl with the blonde hair is Sunrise."

Sweetie noticed that the rest of her family seemed different than her. She asked, "Dark, why does your family look so different than you? No offense but you look out of place there."

Dark replied, "Well the rest of my family is very cheerful and thinks that life is one big ray of sunshine but I take a look at things and I see so much negativity in this world and that is what led me to become like I am back when I was in high school."

Given that Dark had brought up her family, Sweetie grabbed a picture of her family. She said, "Here is a picture of my family. The man with the straw hat on is my father, Magnum. The woman with the pearls on is my mother, Pearl and the woman with the fancy purple hair is my older sister, Rarity."

She took a look at the picture and said, "Your parents look really laid back and your sister looks a little stressed in this picture."

Sweetie replied, "Well my parents live in Tampa Neigh. My father is a life guard on the beach and my mom works in a jewelry store during the week and relax on the beach during the weekend. My sister operates a fashion boutique down in Appleton and that does get stressful for her."

Dark asked, "I do have one question though, what caused you to go from dressing so brightly and having that multi-colored hair to have black hair and dress in all black?"

Sweetie replied, "Oh it was an experience I had with my ex and I started looking through the world through a new perspective and this is just how I turned out. I think this has how I have probably been for quite a while but the situation with Silver Spoon is what caused it to finally surface, I realized that the world isn't a bowl of cherries."

Dark said, "Well it looks like we have that in common. We both see the world for what it really is. We see that it isn't all cheery and perfect."

Sweetie went to put some music on and asked, "So Dark, are there any types of music you like?"

Dark saw that she had some CDs by her stereo and replied, "Yeah, I like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica, Whitesnake, AC/DC, Rush and Foghat to name a few."

Sweetie's head shot up. She asked, "Really? I have all of that right here."

Dark walked over to go through the CDs with her and was thrilled when she saw what she had. She said, "You know Sweetie, I can tell that you and I are going to get along just fine!"

Sweetie replied, "I know." She put some Judas Priest on and the two got to unpacking her suitcases. For Dark Song it felt like a long nightmare had finally come to a close and for Sweetie, it felt like a truly sweet victory. She was able to get a new roommate, one who seems nice and one who genuinely seems more like her....well the her since she remade herself.
