"Darling! You look.... well, to be frank, horrible. How was your trip?" she chattered on, oblivious to the skilfully hidden bandaged hoof belonging to Button Mash.
"Hey Rare."
Sweetie Belle smiled wearily at her big sister as she dragged Button Mash behind her, the young colt almost shuffling as he tried to keep his hoof away from Rarity's line of sight.
"Umm... Button Mash, sweetheart... what..?"
"I tripped!"
"He banged his hoof on a rock!"
The two simultaneous outbursts, of course, made their story more unbelievable.
The fashionista narrowed her sapphire eyes but decided against more questions. She had customers to tend to, orders to fill out, payments to be made.
"Okay, then, darlings."
He hadn't been out of his room for hours.
The soup she had left outside his door was cold, untouched. It seemed Opal had tipped the bowl over. The hall was cold, forlorn, wrapped in darkness.
Her heart was breaking, for him, for the mother who left, for her parents, her sister.
Her eyes swam.
Her head spun.
Sweetie Belle had never felt like this.
There is a tag for Button now
