Sweetie Belle has spent most of her life trying to be like Rarity. That engenders a certain beau monde sophistication regarding one's life philosophy.

It ain't got nothing on Rainbow Dash, though, who'd probably think "engender" meant "make someone a boy or a girl". Assuming she knew words that long.

However, if these two ponies are going to spend a day together, they'll have to commit to it. But then, who knows? There are times when even beauty comes in the most unexpected and unlikely of forms.

And when it comes to picking things up on the fly, Sweetie Belle's nothing if not a keen student. Always eager to please a sister.

Rarity's pearls are the loveliest Sweetie Belle and her friends had ever seen. They leave a big impression on Sweetie's date, but the grown ups have a puzzling reaction to Sweetie's taste in jewelry. Whatever is the problem?

This story is a sequel to Friend of Generosity

After months of watching Scootaloo and Spike, Sweetie concludes it's finally time to educate Scoots on the fine art of being beautiful! Scootaloo isn't so enthusiastic, especially given how Sweetie seems to treat her suitors.

Rarity noticed this as well. She feels it's time for an intervention: Sweetie needs to clean up her act, and Scootaloo needs to learn what really makes a mare alluring. There's no better time than now to teach them both a valuable lesson.

This story is a sequel to Scootaloo's First Friend

(Takes place prior to the start of the show. A birthday present for Matt11. Proofread and edited by deadpansnarker.)

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle have just become friends, and Sweetie Belle immediately settles on the idea of having a sleepover at Scootaloo's place. After a little bit of reluctance, the filly agrees.

For Sweetie Belle, this is her opportunity to not only find out where her new friend lives, but also who her parents are. Scootaloo, on the other hoof, is just focused on throwing a good sleepover since it's her first one.

But things will go in an unexpected direction, especially since both fillies still don't know each other that well yet.

(Takes place before the beginning of "Friendship is Magic". An early birthday present for Madeline Peters. Proofread by Smity91 on Fanfiction.net, and proofread and edited by deadpansnarker on FiMFiction.)

It's not easy to make friend when you're new to town, Scootaloo knows that fact all too well. As one of the only pegasi in Ponyville, the filly has no friends and has the unfortunate luck of also being without a cutie mark.

However, Scootaloo's luck changes when she stumbles upon another blank flank filly, a unicorn by the name of Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle's also having trouble making friends, but she knows her way around Ponyville.

But are these the humble beginnings of a friendship that will last the ages? Or is Sweetie Belle just showing some kindness to a newcomer?

The shops are closed, and Sweetie Belle doesn't have a present for Rarity yet! But Pinkie Pie is here to save the day...

It's that magical time of year, somewhere in between Nightmare Night and Winter Wrap-up, when school's out on break and snow covers everything and parents send kids like Sweetie Belle outside to shovel. But when this Crusader takes it upon herself to let the light of generosity shine on her next door neighbor, she may get more than she bargained for... and may make an unlikely friend in the process.

This was my first story on FimFiction, and an entry for The EFNW 2015 Pre-Con Contest.

This is set sometime after the events of S2 E15 (The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000) but before S5 E9 (Slice of Life).

Hearth Warming's Eve is Sweetie Belle's favorite holiday, because it guarantees full family time with her parents and her sister. For the first year ever, Sweetie Belle has saved up enough money to buy something nice for Rarity. But will she be able to find the perfect gift in time?

[TheLivingLibrary has done a reading of this story! Find it here.]

I don't think you can know Rarity without being at least a little bit scared of her. If you're not, then you don't really know Rarity.

This is the story of how she saved Ponyville one day.

Winner of the Make Rarity Not Garbage Barcast Contest. Preread by Pearple Prose, ScarletWeather, and Estee (who did nothing but stand in the corner in silence while I ranted at them about this story, but by God did that help).

Sweetie wasn't eavesdropping! She was concerned for her sister, and ended up learning more about Rarity than she probably ever wanted to know. Before she can run back to bed and forget the whole thing, she gets some unsolicited advice from somepony she never expected to see after-hours in Carousel Boutique.
