Rarity was knitting a sweater together as she had just got back from seeing Twilight for a bit as she wanted to spend time with her and since that was over she figured that she could do something productive as there wasn't much to do. While she knitted the sweater a male pony put something in the mail box.
Rarity went outside and got the mail and that was when she saw Sweetie Bell's report card, she would need to look it over to see Sweetie Belle's grades, she went back inside her place and read over the letter, the report wasn't bad but it wasn't something to be proud of either.
Rarity paid her bills and then put the report card on the table, she wasn't angry with Sweetie Belle but she was disappointed by Sweetie Belle's report card, soon Sweetie Bell came through the door. The place fell was silent as she wondered where Rarity was.
Sweetie Belle entered the kitchen and saw Rarity sitting with her report card, Sweetie Belle's heart dropped, Sweetie Belle didn't know if Rarity wanted to talk to her or not but she knew that Rarity was angry. Rarity pointed to the chair so she sat, she had no idea how Rarity would talk to her. Rarity showed Sweetie Belle the report card. Rarity handed Sweetie Belle the report card.
"What is that bullshit?" Rarity exclaimed quietly, Sweetie Belle shrugged as she couldn't think of an excuse for the report card. Rarity crossed her arms and looked at her sister sternly as Sweetie Belle looked up from the report card. She couldn't respond, was she supposed to respond but couldn't.
"What is that bullshit!!?" Rarity yelled as Sweetie Belle didn't answer her which startled Sweetie Belle, her lips trembled slightly because she was getting upset, Rarity glared at her while she presented the report card to her as she waited for Sweetie Belle to answer. Sweetie Belle felt embarrassed being confronted by her sister.
"I can't believe you got bad grades on your report card! You've been getting good grades for a a while but now your going down hill! What the hell is going on with you!? Rarity yelled. Sweetie Belle started to get upset at how Rarity was speaking to her. Rarity was being cruel to her and the worst thing was is that Rarity probably knew that.
"I...don't know." Sweetie Belle said as she looked at the report card, Sweetie Belle was embarrassed that her sister found out about her bad grades, she started to wish that she did better. Sweetie Belle was sad and she was unsure of what would happen next, Sweetie Belle didn't know what to tell her sister, she knew that she was in for a rant that would be against her by her sister.
"You don't know?! You should know! Your be one who received the bad report cards! Don't try to come up with excuses okay?! Because they won't work on me!" Rarity yelled, Sweetie Belle was trying to hold back her tears, Rarity gripped looked over the report card with frustration, she looked at her sister who wiped her at her tears.
"Are you upset? Yeah you should be upset, you are a disgrace to the family you know that? I can't fucking believe you Sweetie Belle! You need to own up to your mistakes in school!" Rarity ranted. Sweetie Belle was shocked at what Rarity said to her. Tears started to wet Sweetie Belle's face.
"Your embarrassment to me and your an embarrassment to your mother! How the hell am I supposed to tell her!? How am I supposed to help you!? You never listen to me! This report guard only sinks you into a hole that's been eating you up! You never do any good work and you sponge off people! You will never improve!" Rarity ranted. Sweetie Belle couldn't say anything as she was to upset at what Rarity was saying.
Rarity threw the report card away in anger and stormed into her bedroom and then slammed her bedroom door shut, making the house rattle which stunned Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle slowly walked to her room with tears blurring her vision. She felt like she was in a bad dream that she wanted to wake up from but it was all real which was bad for her.
Sweetie Belle entered her room and closed her door so she could cry in privacy and also hide from embarrassment as she was embarrassed by her sister yelling at her.
Sweetie Belle cried in her room, she couldn't face her sister in the eye as she knew how disappointed her sister was in her, she knew that she had to get better, she hoped that Rarity would leave her alone as she didn't want to be ranted at again as Rarity's rant scared her, she wasn't expecting Rarity to be that harsh to her when she found out how bad her grades were. She didn't mean to get bad grades.
Sweetie Belle wondered if she could get more help in school to prevent her from getting bad report cards if she asked her teachers for help, after an hour Rarity came up and Sweetie Belle feared that she would be yelled at again which she didn't want that to happen, Rarity spoke to her.
"Sweetie Belle I'm sorry for yelling at you, it was wrong for me to yell at you but you seriously need to improve your grades, ask the teachers to help you to improve, just promise me you will okay and then just please try to improve!" Rarity stated. Sweetie Belle calmed down a bit but was still a bit upset.
"Alright Rarity I'll try, I'll ask Cheerilee tomorrow." Sweetie Belle said, Rarity and Sweetie Belle hugged as Sweetie Belle knew that she had to make the effort to improve and she will, she was glad that Rarity stopped yelling at her. She never wanted to be yelled at like that by her sister ever again. She made sure that she would improve and make her sister proud.
Sweetie Belle got help from Cheerilee the next day she went into school, Cheerilee started to help Sweetie Belle with her school work, Sweetie Belle also studied for her school work and she improved little by little, soon she improved over time and the year after that year she was doing a lot better. Raroty was so proud of her.
"I'm so proud of you Sweetie Belle I knew you could do it!" Rarity said. Sweetie Belle thanked her and hugged her. They were both glad that she improved.
