Sweetie Belle quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Sweetie Belle

To the citizens of Ponyville. For some time now, you've been reading this column to get the latest dirt and the hottest buzz. But this will be my final piece. We want to apologize for the pain and embarrassment we've caused.

Apple Bloom

You see, I'm actually three little fillies: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

Scootaloo

As the popularity of our column grew, we got swept up in the hype. We knew that what we were doing didn't feel quite right, but we ignored the guilt because every pony seemed to want to read what we were writing.

Sweetie Belle

From now on, we promise to respect everypony else's privacy and we won't engage in hurtful gossip anymore.

Apple Bloom

All we can do is ask for your forgiveness, Ponyville. Signing off for the very last time, XOXO, Gabby Gums.

Apple Bloom

What... just happened?

Scootaloo

I think Babs just went to the dark side.

Sweetie Belle

We have to tell Applejack!

Apple Bloom

No! We're not snitches!

Scootaloo

Yeah, and we're not babies!

Sweetie Belle

Then... why do I feel like crying?

Apple Bloom

Y'see, Babs, we were tryin' to get you back for bein' a big bully...

Scootaloo

But then Applejack told us about how you were being bullied back in Manehattan.

Sweetie Belle

And we figured out you were just doing it to avoid getting picked on in Ponyville. But by then... we were the ones being bullies, and... Oh, why does life have to be so ironic?!

Sweetie Belle

[reading] We, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, elect Babs Seed to join us as a sister, friend, [unsurely] confidant, ally, bosom buddy, gal pal, comforter, chum'o'chums...

Scootaloo

[clears throat]

Sweetie Belle

Well you wrote this!

Scootaloo

Oh, uh, yeah...

Sweetie Belle

...Homegirl, Amigo, blah blah blah blah blah... Oh, yes, here. ...and fellow Cutie Mark Crusader! You are solemnly sworn in, here this day, in witness of your fellow sisters, friends, confidants, bosom buddies, compadres...

Scootaloo

[interrupts] Congratulations! [quickly, under her breath] Gotta remember to revise that.

Apple Bloom

Well, duh! Of course you can go!

Sweetie Belle

And I'll get Rarity to come too! [unsurely] Rarity loves camping!

I despise camping! All of that... urrgh... nature.

Sweetie Belle

Applejack's going with her little sister. But, y'know, if you don't wanna spend time with me... [puts on a sad "puppy-dog" face]

[tries to resist for a moment] ...Oh, all right! Ooh! Of course, I will need to find an outfit more appropriate for "roughing it". Ooh!

Sweetie Belle

[to Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, hiding in a closet] See? Told you she'd wanna go.

Rainbow Dash

Okay, everybody get comfortable, 'cause I'm about to tell you the best story you've ever heard.

Scootaloo

Is it about the time when Rarity had wings, and then they got ruined, and then you saved her from plummeting to her doom?

Rainbow Dash

Okay, maybe it's the second best story you've ever heard. But it's also one of the scariest. You like scary stories, don't you? It all happened on a night just like this one, in a forest, just like this...

Rainbow Dash

And then, the olden pony asked "Who's got my rusty horseshoe?".

Sweetie Belle

[scared] Not me!

Rainbow Dash

[points at Scootaloo] You do! [Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jump up screaming, while Scootaloo flinches]

Sweetie Belle

So we could hear all about the Crystal Empire, and find out if you brought us one of the crystal snowglobes that they sell at the train station!

How did you know about the snowglobes?

Sweetie Belle

Um... lucky guess?

Scootaloo

So... what's special about Ponyville? It's... It's... I got it! It's a place where different kinds of ponies live together as friends!

Apple Bloom

Earth ponies like me!

Sweetie Belle

Unicorns like me!

Scootaloo

And Pegasi like me!

Sweetie Belle

I just hope no one sees us!

Apple Bloom

'Cause we're tryin' to keep Twilight Time a secret now?

Scootaloo

Or because we look ridiculous?

Sweetie Belle

A little of both actually.

Apple Bloom

Oh my gosh! I can't believe we're goin' to see Sapphire Shores! I'm such a huge fan! I know all her songs!

Scootaloo

'Get Your Pony On'!

Apple Bloom

Ooh, that's one of my favorites!

Sweetie Belle

This isn't a trip to see Sapphire Shores! It's a trip to save my sister from a horrible future!

Scootaloo

'Serves Her Right'!

Sweetie Belle

[gasps] How can you say that? Rarity doesn't deserve that at all!

Scootaloo

No, 'Serves Her Right' is another one of Sapphire Shores' songs!

Apple Bloom

You seriously didn't know that? Don't you listen to her music?!

Sweetie Belle

...I prefer showtunes.

Scootaloo

Ugh.

Apple Bloom

Earth!

Sweetie Belle

Unicorn!

Scootaloo

Pegasus!

Apple Bloom

E!

Sweetie Belle

U!

Scootaloo

P!

Big Macintosh

E-up.

Apple Bloom

Hear ye, hear ye! The first post-cutie mark meetin' of the Cutie Mark Crusaders is now in session!

Apple Bloom

[clears throat]

Sweetie Belle

Oh! I'm sorry, Apple Bloom. I was distracted by the radiance of my cutie mark... did you say something?

Scootaloo

I mean... it's pretty amazing how the colors just pop off your flank. It's kinda hard to look aw—

Apple Bloom

Wow... did we really only ever do things just to get our cutie marks?

Sweetie Belle

I don't know. Maybe?

Scootaloo

Aw, come on! We did lots of stuff that didn't have anything to do with getting a cutie mark.

Sweetie Belle

Of course we did!

Apple Bloom

Absolutely! [montage music]

Sweetie Belle

Huh. So now that we don't have to do stuff to get our cutie marks, what is it that the Cutie Mark Crusaders actually do?

Apple Bloom

We do exactly what we got our cutie marks in!

Helping other ponies!

Scootaloo

Ponies without cutie marks!

Sweetie Belle

Or ponies who've forgotten their special purpose!

Apple Bloom

Exactly! We just have to find ponies who need our help! Come on!

Sweetie Belle

So... what's your cutie mark problem?

Oh, right. Uh, well, my cutie mark is a dumbbell, but I've lifted every dumbbell in Ponyville!

Scootaloo

[nervously] Have you tried lifting other things?

You mean, not dumbbells?

Sweetie Belle

Yeah!

Apple Bloom

Yeah!

Yeah!

Oof! I mean... no. I hadn't thought of that. You guys are awesome! [crunch]

But... what happens when I run out of other stuff?

Sweetie Belle

...I guess you could teach other ponies to lift things?

Apple Bloom

Yeah!

Scootaloo

Yeah!

Yeah! Wow, you three really have a knack for this!

I can't believe it! It's just what I always imagined it would be! And if it weren't for all of you, I wouldn't even have it.

Scootaloo

No problem!

Sweetie Belle

It's what we do.

Apple Bloom

I only wish I'd realized what you needed right away instead of mopping around for no reason...

Well, either way, I hope you keep dancing. [short tap-dancing burst]

Apple Bloom

[taps] You know, I just might! It sure is a lot of fun, and I'm pretty confident I can only get better. [to the Crusaders] I'm sorry I was so silly about us all doing our own things. If we hadn't, I might never even have tried dancing!

Or find out I needed help!

Sweetie Belle

With each of us going out and trying things on our own, we'll be three times as likely to find ponies to help!

Scootaloo

And trying new stuff might even make us better at helping them, like how I used my bungee jumping to change the sets!

Sweetie Belle

Or my crochet to make the costumes!

Apple Bloom

Well, one thing is for sure. The Cutie Mark Crusaders will never be the same. We'll be better!

Yeah!
