The School Election

     The room had scraps of blue discarded designs from a long time ago in the trash bin which was partially full. There was ribbon hanging around on the wrong shelf, The mannequins had one to many fabrics on them hanging around the shelf and floor, and the smell of fresh perfume was in the air which clogged her nose with a horrible scent. The cat was tempted to sleep but the loud noise of banging and rustling wouldn't let her. The floor was dirty, it hasn't been sweeped today. Every step Sweetie Belle took the nasty dirt attached to her hoof and wouldn't go off.

There was spilled water trickling down the white floor. A bag from the Sugar Cube Corner had fell on one of the mannequins leaving a blue frost on the head and body and pink frosting smeared all over the ground.

Sweetie Belle just got back from school hoping for advice from Rarity about being school president and what she should do. While kicking off any dirt that stuck to her hooves she walked where the loud noises were coming from. The lavender door was creaked open just a little bit but enough to see what was going on,

Two blueprints were lit up in the air and fell back down. The room had no space what so every to walk through. Mannequins fell over and fabric was sprawled across the floor. There was a horrible reek coming from this room to her. Rarity was snipping some fabric and tossed it on the ground with her magic. Her face was sweating bullets and dripping on the ground, She murmured to her self. She looked like a wreck, her purple mane was down and flat with scraps of fabric in it, her eyes were drained with desperation, and her mouth twitched and quivered every five seconds.

"Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked. Rarity's head turned slowly to reveal her eye twitching. The look on Rarity's face ment she wasn't up for talking but Sweetie Belle was determined to get an answer. "Are you ok?" Sweetie Belle asked more determined to get an answer. Sweetie Belle stomped forward and stepped on a pink fabric cut up on the ground. She shook her hoof to get it off and stood there.

Rarity sighed and dropped the scissors that she was levitating in the air. Rarity smelled awful when Sweetie Belle sniffed the air. It smelled like she was in the dump for ages. "Yes Sweetie Belle. What do you need." Rarity sat on the ground where there was a purple fabric that cushioned her fall. She wiped the sweat off her face with her hoof. "Can't you see that i'm busy." Sweetie Belle thought to leave but not now when she got Rarity's attention.

"Well at school there was an announcement for a school president." Sweetie Belle looked at Rarity whose eye twitched again and lip quivered. ''And..well..i want to be in it." Sweetie Belle finished less confident then before. Rarity got up and walked to Sweetie Belle. She put her hoof on her back and smiled at her gently.

"Sweetie i would love to." Rarity answered, Sweetie Belle's eyes lit up with joy and glowed. ''But i'm busy right now." Rarity finished. She walked over to a cabinet and opened it, She grabbed a piece of line paper and closed the cabinet and walked back. Sweetie Belle was let down, She hoped there was a good reason for this. "I got a note from Princess Celestia that i have to make her a dress for her and Luna. She finished and got back to work quickly. She held up to fabrics in front of Sweetie Belle's face and put on her red square glasses. "Purple for Luna or blue with stars." Rarity asked. Sweetie Belle ignored her and left her behind and closed the door.

Opalescence scratched the wall and some of the cheap wallpaper came off. She hissed at Sweetie Belle and lashed her claw in the air. Sweetie Belle walked out and closed the door. She heard Rarity get on to Opalescence for tearing the wallpaper and yelling. Sweetie Belle felt the warm sun bake on her skin, Every pony was talking or laughing and having fun. The wind blew gently in the breeze which brought up a nice scent of apples in the distance.

Sweetie Belle sighed and walked towards Twilight's house hoping she could help. She was the smartest pony in PonyVille so she must of have a book about being school president. The grass was fluffy and the flowers were blue and red today. Fluttershy tried gardening the other day which turned out to be a disaster. She did something which made the flowers bloom two colors only each day. Sweetie Belle smelled apples, apple cider, and cherry's. She saw Twilight's house or tree house. She knocked on the door three times and waited for an answer.

The door had a cheap wood on it that was coming off very slowly. The door opened, Twilight was there, Her hair was brushed perfectly straight and gorgeous. Her house was neatly put together with all of her books in place. Spike was grabbing a book on the top shelf on a wobbly ladder. There was a crash and Twilight turned around.

"Spike what are you doing!" Twilight shook her head and ran inside. Sweetie Belle walked in with her and saw Spike laying on the ground rubbing his head. A book was on the ground and it looked broken. Some pages were on the ground and still in the air. Unlike from her house, Twilight's house was neatly sweeped and the hard tile had no speck of dirt on it. Aside from the pages and book the house was cleaner then any house she's seen, especially for Twilight.

"Sorry Twilight." Spike answered. He got up and rubbed his head.Spike looked around and saw the pages and put a sheepish smile.

"Spike!'' Twilight screamed. Her hoof slammed against the floor. She stomped towards Spike and started yelling. Sweetie Belle knew Twilight enough that when a book breaks she goes crazy. "How did this happen, why are the pages flying!" Twilight yelled again and Spike was trying to give excuses about the ladder and how high the book was. Twilight had enough and sighed. "Spike just go to your room i will fix this later." Her mind was going crazy on the book thing. She put it aside and put on a fake smile and turned to Sweetie Belle. Spike was walking up the stairs with his head down. He felt bad so he didn't make another peep. ''So what do you want Sweetie Belle." Twilight asked, it sounded like nothing just happened two seconds ago so Sweetie Belle did the same.

"Well there is a school election." Sweetie Belle pointed out. Twilight listened, her ears perked up. Sweetie Belle scratched her head nervously and continued, "Well i need help could you help me?" Sweetie Belle finished quietly. Twilight sighed.

''I wish i could but i am very busy and i would led you a book but i don't have one about school elections." Twilight admitted. "I'm sorry." Twilight apologized. Twilight just put her head down and walked away and shut the door leaving Sweetie Belle alone in the front yard in front of the creaky door. Sweetie Belle sighed, no one will help her they are all busy.

Sweetie Belle thought about one more person that might be able to help her,

Applejack,

                                                          *******************************************************************

As Sweetie Belle approached the apple farm, The strong scent of apples and pie came to her nose. The grass had been trimmed and the apples looked like they just been harvesting not long ago. The barn was in tip top shape, The wood was clean and not rusty, the paint was on there neatly and not scraping off. She saw Applejack carrying a bowl of apples to Big Mac who was making cider out of it. Sweetie Belle approached Applejack hoping that she is free.

"Hey Applejack!" Sweetie Belle blurted. Applejack turned her head and dropped the apples on Big Macs table.

"Ya Sweetie Belle what do you need." Applejack asked. Her hat flew off her head and she ran off to catch it. Sweetie Belle followed.

"Well there is a school election." Sweetie Belle said less confident. She had been turned down twice so a third wouldn't make her feel much better. Applejack smiled and put her hat on. ''i want to be president. could you possibly help me?" Sweetie Belle finished.

"Sure i could, what do you need?" Applejack asked. Sweetie Belle's eyes lit up and she started to bounce around Applejack.

"Thank you thank you!"Sweetie Belle chanted. Applejack blushed, she wasn't sure why Sweetie Belle was this happy.

"Well let's get to work now shall we." Applejack said. Sweetie Belle turned to Applejack and followed her to the barn. Sweetie Belle couldn't believe it , someone was helping her. She smiled and walked towards the barn. She thought that she might had a chance of winning this thing.
