Voice of Diamond

It was a warm, sunny day. Sweetie Belle was humming a tune to herself as she strolled through town. She began to sing as she skipped down the street.
This is our big night

We're getting ready

And we're doing it up right

This is our big night

Friendship survived,

Now we'll start it out right

As Sweetie Belle continued to sing, Octavia walked by with Vinyl. "Ugh, I wish I had somepony to sing at my next concert!" As if on cue, Sweetie Belle walked past her singing in her melodic voice. Vinyl pointed at the 16-year-old filly. "She's perfect! I think she's Rarity's sister. I'll ask her tomorrow."

Later that day,

Sweetie Belle was brushing her hair in her room when she heard a knock at the door. "Come in," she said in her melodic voice. Rarity opened the door. She took a moment to stop and noticed how much Sweetie Belle had grown up. It seemed like only yesterday she was that young filly waiting to get her cutie mark. Rarity shook her head and snapped back to reality. "Guess what? Octavia came by today and asked if you wanted to sing for her concert in Canterlot!"

"Really?! This is amazing! Wait, when is the concert?"

"5 weeks. She said she needs you to decide by the end of the week," Sweetie Belle was torn. She wanted to go but, Hearts and Hooves day was coming up and she wanted Button Mash to ask her if she wanted to be her special somepony.

"I'll think about it," she said quietly. Rarity immediately noticed something was up. Sweetie Belle wasn't usually this quiet.

"Is something wrong? You know you can tell me,"

"Nothing's wrong I'm just a little stressed out about something."

"I don't suppose it has to do with Heart's and Hooves day does it?" This caught Sweetie Belle's attention.

"How did you know?"

"I just have an eye for these things. Now, who's the lucky colt?"

"Button Mash."

"Who's that?"

"He's that colt who plays all those video games and stuff."

"Sweetie Belle, are you sure you would like a colt like that? He seems nice enough but, I don't think he's your type. What about Pipsqueak?"

"Pip and I are just friends."

"Well, it's not my place to judge but, if that's what you want."

"Thanks for understanding Rarity." As soon as Rarity left the room she sighed. She wanted her sister to be happy but, Button Mash may not make her happy.

"Oh well, I just hope she does the concert. It's always been her dream to sing in Canterlot." Rarity spent the rest of the afternoon working on a dress order. When she finished, she began to sew another dress. She pinned on something very carefully. It was a picture of a bell.
