A beautiful mare speaks into her headset, talking to, most likely, her manager. "Almost showtime? Ok! There's somepony here for me? A special guest? Hm... I wonder." Twilight taps her shoulder. "Ahem. Sweetie Belle?" She turns around. "Huh? Be there in a minute Twiligh- Scootaloo?" She paused, thens continues with her manager. "Sorry, I gotta go! I'll be ready soon!" She clicks it off. "Scootaloo! Oh my gosh! It's been... its just been... ugh! Too long!" She goes to hug her friend, but Scootaloo says, "I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble." Sweetie paused and doesn't hug her. "Causing me trouble? Are you crazy? You didn't do anything wrong! Man, time really has passed, hasn't it?" She turns around to fiddle with some equipment. "You're on Bridleway! Yeah, things have changed!" Sweetie giggles. "Yeah. Um, catch up after? Shows starting in five!" "See you!"
Ponies in the auditorium chat for a bit.
Sweetie Belle walks out on stage and clears her through and does her introduction. She then begins singing a song.
The show ends and everypony is clapping. Scootaloo makes her way backstage, being followed by Twilight and Apple Bloom, who decided to show up. "Hey, Sweetie Belle! Great show!" She turns to see them. "Thanks, Scootalo- Oh, its you. Hey there, Apple Bloom." "Long time, no see, Sweetie Belle." They glare at each other, and Scootaloo sighs. Sweetie Belle starts singing a tune. "You know, time is supposed to heal..." Apple Bloom shoots her a threading glare, "Don't you even go there..." "And it looks like that's true. I don't have to associate myself with the likes of you!" Apple Bloom begins to add tune into her words. "At least I actually work!" Sweetie loses a bit of melody. "Excuse me! Did you not see me performing?" Apple Bloom sings faster as she goes. "Oh, I'm sorry, my darling special princess Sweetie Belle, the mare who lives out her dreams and gets to-" Sweetie ceases singing and gets loud. "You're just angry because you can't have fun with your job." Apple Bloom fires back. "At least my sister used to actually support me!" Sweetie Belle heals, "At least I still have a sister!" Sweetie covers her mouth with her good, and Apple Bloom stares sadly in disbelief. "ENOUGH!!" Scootaloo yells loudly at them angrily. Apple Bloom runs away, crying, and Sweetie Belle reaches out. "Apple Bloom, wait! I-I... I'm sorry!"
