Tale of Two Sisters(Sweetie/Rarity){Closed}

[QuickLime]

Normally Rarity would have said absolutely under no circumstances was Sweetie Belle going to escort her on one of her gem hunts! But one look into those teary leaf green eyes, and Rarity felt her own heart melt, remembering Sweetie's sadness from the SisterHooves Social, and how close they had become after her Sister had actually helped her get in very good with Sapphire Shores.. Well why not!? Rarity could certainly protect Sweetie, and who knows? Perhaps the small unicorn could practice her magic a little bit and it would be a learning experience!

Though as the two now walked even further in the darkness Rarity was having second thoughts. The wagon creaked slowly behind her, and the air filled only with the soft sound of trotting hooves, as well as the faint shimmery sound of Rarity's horn, which was currently alight like a blue flame to both light their way and to scour the area for some elusive amytheste gems of highest quality.

"Sweetie Belle, Dear please stay close to your big sister alright? We'll be sure to find some just around the bend! And after this we can pop home for some delightful tea and cakes! Maybe we can ah.."She paused and tapped her hoof to her chin "...Maybe YOU can help me design one of my outfits for my new Autumn line!"

Maybe a promise of great bonding would be enough to get Sweetie to move a little faster so they could leave? There was something rotten in the air, and the mare could almost feel trouble.

Perhaps it was nothing though..

Sweetie Belle was so excited that she could burst! She almost never got to go out and help her sister with her business. That was mostly because Sweetie had a habit of messing things up for her big sister but she was trying really really really hard to not screw it up this time, almost as hard as she had worked to convince her sister to bring her along in the first place. Usually Rarity was a bit sterner than most ponies gave her credit for and that was good because she had to be in her line of work, but this time Sweetie Belle's pout tactic had been super effective on Rarity this time! She had never been able to go on a gem hunt before and now she could and that was better than good, it was great!

So she trudged along or behind Rarity as they traversed the increasingly dark and spooky terrain, not that Sweetie Belle was paying it any mind. She was just too happy to be helping her sister to care. Sweetie's role was super important! She was pulling the wagon and the wagon was certainly getting heavy. Rarity was so good at finding gems that it made Sweetie Belle wonder if her sister could stop making dresses and instead become rich for finding and selling gems. She probably could because her sister could do anything she wanted to do and be great at it, but a Rarity who was not making dresses was a Rarity that Sweetie Belle didn't care to know. Unless it really was her sister Rarity and not an imposter because then Sweetie would want to know her because she loved her sister and don't dare doubt it.

“Okay Rarity!” Sweetie Belle bubbled in reply, moving closer to her big sis as the cart banged and bopped behind them. It sure was dark but Sweetie didn't need any reason to get closer to her sister. And then Rarity mentioned what they may do and Sweetie Belle's eyes lit up as she gasped in surprised happiness!

“Oh, that would be just so perfect!” the filly squealed, almost jumping in the air but being constrained by the wagon. She always loved helping her sister design clothes even when Rarity didn't want the help or need it. This time she would want it and Sweetie could learn so much and it'd be just so perfect! So perfect she had to think it a third time- just so perfect!

“Maybe we could use gold sequins, or gold embroideries, or make gold broaches, or...” Sweetie continued on, heedless of the atmosphere around her.

Sweetie would OFCOURSE want the most garish of all the metals in her dress...Gold...BUT It was a fall line and golds, browns, and orange were all the rage, so perhaps that wouldn't be so bad! Rarity moved a hoof and gently ruffled Sweetie's Mane "Yes, yes the gold sounds absolutely lovely Sweetie, I am sure your design will be..well absolutely divine, After all you are my little sister, I am sure some of my taste has rubbed off on you in our times together" She said this a little proudly, going to block out the original dresses from her sister's play from her memory..ugh brown and /pink/?

Another chill went down Rarity's spine, and she frowned, turning her head left, then right "..Did you hear something?" She could have sworn she heard..either the buzz of changeling wings.. or the giggling of diamond dogs? Was she just hearing something in the darkness that wasn't there? Or was perhaps there something dangerous ahoof?

"Stay close to me Sweetie Belle.."

Rarity thought Sweetie's choice was really fashionable and in season?! Sweetie Belle positively beamed with delight as her sister said so. Of course Rarity's fashion sense had rubbed off on Sweetie Belle. Rarity was like a pepper shaker and Sweetie belle was a delicious soup that soaked up all the yummy tastes of the fashionable seasoning flying every which way. Oh, even better! Rarity was like a delicious, creamy soup all warm and a nice and Sweetie Belle was the drip, soaking in all the knowledge of her sister. That worked out really, really good! Also, Sweetie Belle was hungry and wanted a nice soup, it seemed. But for now she would be more than fine with subsisting on the kindness of her sister and the fun they were sure to have. Were they having fun? Sweetie Belle was having loads of fun with her big sister just by being able to join her, all soup analogies aside!

“Of course it will be great because I learned it all from you!” Sweetie Belle replied energetically, imagining all the beauty she could unleash on the world with just a bit of sequin and her imagination, “well, and some magazines but with new and fun twists! Like pink and purple hats and bright teal and green shoes. Won't those be so pretty, Rarity? Oh and...uhh...I'm not hearing anything,” she did get closer however, “just the sound of you, me,” clip-clop-clip-clop behind them ever so faintly, “and the pony behind us.”
