Journal Lessons: For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils

S4 E19 Everypony! Leap of Faith is up next!

.....

While coming home from his usual shopping in the Ponyville market, Malibu spotted Sweetie Belle coming over to him.

"Mal! Malibu!"

He waved her over with a grin, the white filly unicorn holding a piece of paper in her mouth. "Hey Sweetie Belle, what's going on?"

Sweetie Belle put the paper on the ground which had what looked like some kind of play. "I'm starring and writing my own play, and I was hoping you will be at the show tonight?"

The teal alicorn was surprised but happy about how much she had stepped up into doing stuff by herself. He wound up nodding. "Sure, it should be cool watching you guys in the play."

Sweetie smiles. "Play is at 5:30, see you there tonight!" She says, running off to get Rarity to make the costumes. Malibu picked up the paper with his magic, seeing that all of the CMCs were going to be in the show. Knowing he can't miss this one.

....

Later that evening, Malibu managed to make it to the theater. He looked around, wondering where the rest of his friends were.

He only could see Spike sitting down in the front and went to join him. "Hey, Spike, where are the others?"

Spike looks a bit down. "They couldn't really come, they're helping Rarity make outfits for Sapphire Shores. But I'm glad you're here to watch them."

Malibu grins. "Of course. The CMCs are my best friends. I wouldn't let down Sweetie Belle."

The baby dragon looks happy from his words as the two turned to the stage; which had the curtains be pulled back to reveal the CMCs wearing their outfits. Malibu was startled by how fancy they were, wondering if Sweetie Belle had really designed them to look like that.

The play had gone on for some time, Malibu slightly enjoying it though he figured the writing could use some improvement. He was a bit too distracted by the shiny outfits as was everyone else who had clapped mostly for that.

Malibu got up once the play was over, heading to backstage to greet his little friends. Sweetie Belle saw him, her outfit a white and lilac laced dress. She gave him a smile, hugging. "I'm so glad you made it! We also have this awesome party to do as well!"

Applebloom nods. "This must be like a dream come true for you, huh, Sweetie Belle?"

Scootaloo flaps her wings. "Ooh, can you imagine if this show was how you got your cutie mark?"

Malibu chuckled at that thought, not sure if it would really happy but it was nice to see them have dreams like that. He saw Sweetie Belle give a deep breath. "Let's not get carried away. We've got a whole lobby full of friends waiting to shower us with adoration and praise. Try to be gracious."

Scootaloo put her hooves together. "Modest."

Applebloom smiles. "Classy."

"No matter what happens, I'm still glad you were able to do something like this, Sweetie Belle. It really shows how much you've grown since we've first met." Malibu praises her, making Sweetie Belle flush.

They all soon went out into the lobby where the audience was having some light snacks and punch. "Here we are, the stars of the show!" Sweetie Belle exclaims.

Scootaloo keeps smiling. "Line forms here!"

Spike had come up, handing Malibu a glass of punch which he took. "Wow, you guys! I think your sisters would have loved it!"
