Sweetie Belle was in the Ponyville school house as she was listening to Cheerilee teaching them. She hated going to school but she knew that it was necessary to get education that you needed when you were a kid so she dealt with it.
As she listened to Cheerilee she hoped that time would speed up so she could hang out with her friends and spend the rest of the day with her sister as she didn't want to spend it listening to a lesson by Cheerilee.
Soon after a few hours class ended. All of her fellow classmates got up to leave and she did as well but before she could exit the school house with her fellow students a Cheerilee spoke up.
"Sweetie Belle can I talk to you about something before you go?" Cheerilee asked. She stopped and looked at a Cheerilee and then looked at Apple Bloom and Scootaloo who had stopped as well.
"Alright fine you can." Sweetie Belle said. She told her other friends that she would see them later. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom left the schoolhouse with the other students while Sweetie Belle followed Cheerilee to her desk. Sweetie Belle sat down in front of Cheerilee's desk while Cheerilee sat in her chair behind her desk.
Cheerilee looked Sweetie Belle over for a good amount of time as Sweetie Belle sat there as she waited for a Cheerilee to say something to her. She didn't dare stand up as Cheerilee was possibly angry with her. Sweetie Belle wondered what Cheerilee wanted to talk to her about.
Cheerilee sighed as she set down Sweetie Belle's behavioral file, Sweetie Belle looked at the file with a cautious expression as she wondered if she had been bad without knowing it. She looked at Cheerilee and decided to ask her why she wanted to talk to her.
"Um Cheerilee...am I in trouble? Why did you give me a file that's about me? Did I do something to upset you in school?" Sweetie Belle asked as she hoped that she didn't infuriated Cheerilee farther than she already was.
"Why don't you tell me Sweetie Belle? Do you think that your behavior has been appropriate for school?" Cheerilee asked as she narrowed her eyes at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle hesitated to answer as she felt humiliated. Sweetie Belle didn't answer that at all but she knew that she had to so she finally spoke up.
"No it hasn't." Sweetie Belle said as she felt very nervous as she knew about the subject that Cheerilee was about to bring up. Cheerilee nodded as she looked Sweetie Belle over as she wanted to get to the point of why a Sweetie Belle was acting the way she was acting.
"No it it certainly isn't, you have demonstrated inappropriate behavior in school. You have acted inappropriately with other fillies and it needs to stop. You know exactly what I'm talking about teachers saw you hugging and kissing a filly in a hallway. You have homosexual tendencies that need to be dealt with." Cheerilee said. Sweetie Belle feared the possibility of where this conversation was headed.
"No Cheerilee please don't do what I think your going to do." Sweetie Belle said as she feared that's he would be punished for liking other fillies but Cheerilee stopped her by pulling out a pamphlet and laid it in front of her student and Sweetie Belle looked on with fright.
"Due to you having these disgusting behaviors I recommended to Rarity that you be sent to troubled fillies camp outside of Ponyville. It's one of the most successful Christian camps in Equestria. I just can't deal with you anymore Sweetie Belle and neither can Rarity. Rarity has already agreed to send you there. You are going to learn appropriate behavior whether you like it or not." Cheerilee said. Sweetie Belle became very upset. She tried to stand up for herself.
"No I don't want to go there!" Sweetie Belle yelled in defense. Cheerilee then warned her to be quiet. Cheerilee sighed and spoke.
"You dont have a choice. Your parents and your sister have agreed to send you there. Your going to change for the better Sweetie Belle. You can do that or burn in hell for being a dyke." Cheerilee said. Sweetie Belle sobbed. After Cheerilee spoke to her she went home to face the wrath of her sister.
She feared for what was coming. She hoped that her sister hadn't disown her for who she was but she wouldn't be surprised if she did. She feared for her life as she was afraid that her sister would hurt her for being gay. When she got home her sister stared at her with fury in her eyes. Her heart dropped as she knew that she was helpless.
"Sweetie Belle your leaving today so hurry up and if you refuse I'll drag you to the camp myself." Rarity said. Sweetie Belle knew not to question her sister as she would get punished she cried as she went upstairs. She packed a small bag and went downstairs.
"Your lucky I still love you a Sweetie Belle. I don't know what's going on with you. What you have been doing is unnatural and unacceptable. Your parents agree with me on this. Your leaving tonight. I will not have a dyke pony for a sister! Your going to change your disgusting behavior Sweetie Belle no matter how long it takes!" Rarity declared angrily.
Sweetie Belle didn't dare stand up to her sister as she didn't want to get her sister mad so she just decided to go along with it as she hoped that she would be saved by somepony but unfortunately for her no savior ever came to help her and before she knew it she was on her way with another group of fillies being transported to the camp by wagon that was under heavy surveillance. Sweetie Belle feared the worse as she was transported to a place of nightmares.
When Sweetie Belle arrived at the gay conversion camp she was pissing her pants in fright and she saw other teens who were doing the same thing. When they got off the bus the pastors introduced themselves and had Sweetie Belle and other people unpack.
Sweetie Belle knew what was coming and she didn't like it. All of the fillies and colts had their own rooms so that they couldn't sleep together in order to prevent the kids from having sex. She saw so many ponies like her arrive at the same place
She feared what was coming and her fear was not misplaced as over the first whole day the counselors told them the reason why they were their repeatedly and they told them that being gay was evil and an abomination to God.
Sweetie Belle could barely stomach it, she had no idea people were this ignorant. She hated that Cheerilee and her sister sent her to the camp. She couldn't believe they couldn't accept her for who she was.
The camp counselors continued to ram into the ponies heads that being gay was an abomination to God. The counselors forced Sweetie Belle and other ponies to electroshock. That was the worst.
Sweetie Belle suffered immensely due to the electro shock. It hurt so much. She screamed through it everytime they made her go through it. She went through so many lectures only why being gay was terrible.
Sweetie Belle was abused and berated in the camp. She cried herself to sleep many times over the next few nights at the camp. She kept to herself. She saw other fillies and colts who cried in the privacy of their camps as well. At night when they were all asleep she could hear some fillies crying in their rooms.
Sweetie Belle hated it. She wanted somepony who knew her to save her. She never wanted to go back home to her sister as she felt as if she could never forgive her sister for this. She decided to write a secret letter to princess Celestia about her horrible experiences and she also wrote how Rarity sent her to the camp and how her parents and a Cheerilee supported her doing so
She knew that if she tried sending this out in the open she would be caught so she knew what to do to not get caught but she would have to be careful when doing what she was going to do.
At night when she was sure the camp counselors and students were asleep she snuck outside and put the letter into the mailing room as she hoped that her letter would be sent to Celestia. She dreaded that the pony who checked the mail wouldn't noticed that she sent a letter as the fillies and colts were forbidden to send letters which of coarse was alarming.
She feared that she would be confronted by the camp counselors and abused even further if it was found out that she had sent a letter. She waited for several days as the abuse against her continued.
She hoped that her sister would see what she did was wrong for her to do and she hoped that Celestia would save her. She just wanted to see her friends and the filly she had a crush on.
She cried more intensity over the next few nights. She had horrible nightmares due to her experiences that were happening to her in the camp. She wanted to be saved. She hugged her pillow every night and cried herself to sleep but sometimes she couldn't sleep due to being so scared.
After more days of abuse passed her letter had been answered and Celestia along with a few guards told that the camp could be sued for abuse against gay ponies. The camp counselors said that they would fight that order. Celestia saved Sweetie Belle from the camp and let her stay at her place for the next few days.
Sweetie Belle told her that Cheerilee had outed her to Rarity and they both discriminated against Sweetie Belle while her own parents backed up the discrimination Celestia then charged Rarity and her parents with neglect and she charged Cheerilee with abuse
Celestia had Sweetie Belle removed from Rarity's place and was sent to live with Twilight as Twilight was very open and accepting of gay ponies. Twilight welcomed Sweetie Belle with open arms and said that it was perfectly okay with her that Sweetie Belle was gay.
Twilight protected Sweetie Belle from homophobic sentiments. When Sweetie Belle got a marefriend it made Twilight so happy. Twilight met Sweetie Belle's marefriend and she encouraged them both to continue the relationship.
Over time Rarity had learned about what Sweetie Belle experienced there as she had read about the camp. She was horrified by the abuse. She couldn't believe she couldn't accept her sister. She began to reeducate herself about gay ponies as she read about horrific experiences other ponies had at the camp she also read about how common ponies came out as gay and she found out that a lot of other species were gay as well.
She read about homosexuality and the more she read about it the more she realized how wrong she was in sending her to that awful place so one day when Sweetie Belle and Twilight were out somewhere Rarity apologized profusely to Sweetie
Rarity said that what she had done was a mistake and promised Sweetie Belle that she didn't hate her. She promised Sweetie Belle she still loved no matter who she loved and she said that the idea of homosexuality wasn't bad to her anymore.
Sweetie Belle forgave Rarity but continued to live with Twilight. Rarity cut herself off from her parents as they were the ones that her brainwashed her into believing gay ponies were bad. Sweetie Belle and Rarity worked on repairing their love for each other.
Celestia's charges against Cheerilee succeeded so Cheerilee resigned from her job and a more accepting pony of gay ponies took the job. The charges against Rarity had also succeeded and once they did Rarity accepted the charges. She was placed under watched and was barred from other children and she would also be watched.
In the end Sweetie Belle was glad that she had been saved from that terrible place she was sent to. She got therapy for her trauma from the experiences and the therapy helped her be happy again as she got over the experiences. She hoped that she would never face something as terrible as what had happened to her ever again. Twilight promised Sweetie Belle that the experiences that happened to her would never happen to her again. Sweetie Belle got to live happily with Twilight from them on
