A Cute Little Pony

Sweetie Belle and King Sombra are laying out the supplies that they retrieved on a table so they could see what is there for them to draw, or whatever with these supplies.

“So…” Sweetie Belle began. “I’ve heard that you saved us from the yetis, and bandits… . And all within a four month gap between the two events as well… . How’d you do it?”

King Sombra blushed; having completely forgotten about saving all of Equestria, and for stopping all of those beings wreaking havoc in the process as well… . He then continued by saying; “eh… . It’s no big deal; really… . I’m sure of it.”

Sweetie Belle shrugged, and then said; “fair enough… .” She then continued on by saying; “you’re not the only hero/villain to shrug off their heroics after all… .”

Sombra turned to Sweetie Belle with a blush, and then said; “hey… ?”

Sweetie Belle giggled, and then said; “it’s fine…” before setting what remained of the supplies onto the table.

“Hmm…” Sombra said while tapping his chin. “What’re we gonna draw?”

Sweetie Belle paused looking over the supplies, and then says; “I have no idea actually… . What do you think?”

Sombra shrugs, and then says; “beats me… . I was honestly thinking that you’d draw something cute and innocent; like a child’s version of a flower, or something.

Sweetie Belle chuckled, and then said; “maybe… .” and then turned to looked at Sombra to ask; “what are you gonna draw… ?”

Sombra snickered, and then said; “probably me with dark crystals around me to show how powerful I am.”

Sweetie Belle chuckled again, and then said; “I guess… .” She then sighed, before saying; “I honestly don’t know if I wanna… “indulge” in this activity… . Like; I’m not a little kid no more… . I’m a grown up now… I think… .”

Sombra sighs, kneels down to look at Sweetie Belle, and then says; “how about we just decide on what we’re gonna draw… okay? And if you don’t wanna do that, then we’ll do something else… . Alright? What do you say… ?”

Sweetie Belle starts tapping on her chin to think about it. After a few minutes; Sweetie Belle sighs, smiles; (knowing that she could get out of drawing if she doesn’t want to), and then says; “deal!”

Sombra then clapped his shadow hands together, and then says; “alright… let’s do this.” before getting some of the art supplies from the table to start drawing, or whatever.

After a few hours; surprisingly… .

“Wow…” Sombra said in slight astonishment of himself. “I honestly can’t believe that I still know how to draw… and such. That’s awesome!”

Sweetie Belle stared in awe at Sombra’s creation, and then asks; “how’d you still know how to do this… ? That’s amazing!”

Sombra chuckled a bit, and then says; “it’s not much, really… . I just tapped into something that I didn’t know I had… and bada boom… .”

Sweetie Belle then frowned, and then looked at her creation. She then felt frustrated, and then threw the paper down on the ground with a huff.

Sombra looked at what she made, snickered, and then said; “really… ? You’re mad at making that? Why?”

Sweetie Belle then clenched her face and hooves in frustration, and then replied; “because I wanted to make something that isn’t childish… . But… I failed… .” She then began to whine, and then said; “I never wanted to make something like that… . I’m not a baby no more… . Hmph… .”

Sombra then sighs, picks up her drawing, leans down to put a shadow hand on her shoulder while using his other one to hold Sweetie Belle’s drawing, and then says; “yeah… ? But so what? You’re not gonna instantly grow up just because you’ve gotten older… . Right?”

Sweetie Belle wipes her nose with a sniffle, and then says; “yeah… . But I want to. It’s so embarrassing… .”

Sombra snickers, gives Sweetie Belle her drawing back, picks her up, and then says; “well hey… . If you think it’s embarrassing, then it is… . However; if you don’t think that it’s embarrassing, then it isn’t. Okay… ?”

Sweetie Belle wiped her nose with a sniffle again, and then replied; “uh huh…” while nodding her head yes.

Sombra then smiled, and said in return; “well I think that it’s cute, and not embarrassing that you’re still acting young… okay… ?” Sweetie Belle nodded again, and then Sombra continued by saying; “so how about you… ? What do you think?”

Sweetie Belle gave a few pats to her chin to think it over… . Eventually, she just sighed, starts to smile, and then said; “okay… . You win… . I’m still young… .”

Sombra smiled also, and then said; “there you go now… .”

After some cleaning up because of the art supplies, King Sombra then says; “now…” before wrapping a shadow arm around Sweetie Belle. “Let’s go put that up on the fridge, okay? I’m sure your older sibling will appreciate the gesture; right… ?”

Sweetie Belle nodded, but then said; “wait!” before getting in front of him, and said; “can we keep this as a secret? Please… ? I don’t want anyone else to know… .”

Sombra scoffed, and then said; “no one really has to know… okay… ? Only your friends and sibling… . And maybe your parents too; if you’re ready… . Is that okay… ?”

Sweetie Belle tapped her chin in thought; before looking up at King Sombra, and then said; “okay…” before giggling a bit. “Now let’s go put my picture up!”

And with that; Sombra went to the kitchen to help Sweetie Belle with putting up her picture on the fridge.

“So…” King Sombra began while he’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sweetie Belle. “What do you wanna do now… ?”

Sweetie Belle blushed, and then asked; “c-can we do something childish… ? Just for old times sake? Please… ?”

Sombra chuckles, and then says; “okay kid… . What do you wanna do now… ?”

Sweetie Belle smiled; (still blushing mind you), and then looked back at Sombra to say; “well… . There is one thing… “ before beginning to tap her chin in thought.
