The black Pegasus rushed into the room where the mares were arguing, mane in tangles and wings all ruffled, limping is hind leg; he'd sprained his leg earlier with the incident involving Zecora and a certain potion, and had again forgotten and landed on it from high speed. He glanced around at the scene and sighed. The two sisters were at each other's throat again, and the Pegasus wondered if there was one minute when they wouldn't be having an argument about this or that.
The Pegasus stepped into the room quietly. Sweetie Belle looked.. well, despite all the make up all over her face, she was still gorgeous and immaculate. Rarity was enraged, and Twilight seemed confused and shocked, not knowing how to react or what was going on. The stallion took a heavy breath and when he spoke, his voice boomed over the mares. "Shut the bloody hay up 'ready, both o' ya! Can ya two do nothin' but argue all the bloody time?"
Horizon glared at both Rarity and Sweetie and continued, "Now, get off each other, sit back nicely, an' let Sparks here see what be goin' on. Ain't gonna resolve the issue ya two actin' like bloody foals. Savvy?" He beat his hoof on the floor to put emphasis on his words and gestured at Twilight with his head. "So, any ideas? It ain't no natural, that be fer sure, so must be somethin' on ya field o' expertise."

Twilight looked over Rarity and Sweetie Belle. Seeing Sweetie had distracted her almost completely from the fact thay were wrestling about on the ground. Once Horizon came in, she snapped out of it. From how Horizon talked, it seemed like they hoped Twilight to work some kind of a miracle. He didn't even know what caused Sweetie Belles sudden growth.
Twilight moved closer to the sisters. "How in Equestria did this happen?" She said aloud, not really asking anypony but herself. Twilight bit her lip, thinking at light speed through all of the thousands of posibilities. Okay... Tell me exactly what happened when Sweetie Belle.... Got bigger. I need to know as much as I can." She said, not having the foggiest clue of whats going on.

It was so unfair. Just as Sweetie was having the upper hoof in this situation and actually giggling at Rarity's failed attempts to subdue her, Horizon's voice boomed like a shock wave over the mares. She could have sworn for a moment is was her father yelling at her for a moment and immediately stopped; looking over in the direction of the Pegasus and purple unicorn. They both seemed serious, this terrified Sweetie. Was She in trouble for wearing the dress again or wearing the makeup? Probably, and she was already punished for tearing that dress... SHE WAS GOING TO BE DOUBLE GROUNDED. A rock dropped in her stomach. This was horrible.
She looked towards the floor knowing she was in trouble and was frightened for what the older ponies might do to her. Fiddling with her hooves as Twilight stared at her, trying to read her face and gather information on what was going on. She didn't even look at Rarity, knowing it would be nothing but a glare followed by an aggravated yell from the unicorn. However, Sweetie's ears perked up at Twilight askign how this happened.
"Zeccora Helped me!" he matured mare said aloud with enthusiasm and a large smile. Then slowly she brought herself back down to staring at her hooves, forgetting that she might be in trouble for a moment. "She... helped me.." Her face looked up shyly at the two. " I wanted to be mature... Rarity said I should be..." Belle looked up sorrowfully at her sister to see her reaction.

As Sweetie expected, this was most certainly something to be furious about. Rarity had a couple of scratches and bruises from the scuffle, and her mane was somewhat out of place, but this was exactly like last time somepony needed help from Zecora. "Sweetie Belle! I can not believe you went into the Everfree forest without asking, AND you drank a potion to make you big like this! And I did not say you should be more mature! I said WHEN you're more mature you can try on my dresses. And do you know why I said it?! I said it because you always, always, ALWAYS ruin anything I'm trying to do! Breakfast, shopping, dresses, anything!"
Smoke shot out from Rarity's nostrils as she was that angry. "I do hope you're proud of yourself, Sweetie Belle. How will you live with yourself, now that you're big like this? I don't suppose you can get a job? Or have any way to pay rent! Which is why I suggest you find a way to make yourself smaller, so you can go to school, and have your normal life!" Rarity eventually calmed down, and disregarded anything the other two had to say. It was obvious to her now, that even if Sweetie was older, yelling at her still had the same affect. And big, or small, young or old, immature, or truly mature, she didn't deserved to be yelled it.
Rarity sighed and looked at Sweetie Belle. Her voice was calmer and sweeter. She was bent on convincing Sweetie that her old life was better than now. "Sweetie Belle..." Rarity sat down and gestured for Sweetie to follow. "Why did you want to be a mature mare? So you can try on my dresses? Is that all? You do know, now that you're mature, and you have your cutie mark, you can't be a crusader anymore...And you'll have to find a job for a filly, and trust me, there aren't that many. It's easy to be a filly, and you don't ever get a second chance. You need to enjoy yourself while you still can."

Her eyes widened at Rarity's comment and at the realization of what being an adult entailed. Her mouth began to buckle and twist with nervousness as she struggle to try and find something to say. The idea of actually being an adult seemed to toss a massive amount of stress on her now. Instead of thinking it was all fun and games. Sweetie Belle swallowed hard, almost regretting even thinking of being a grown up. Rarity's tone was cementing in her head that this probably wasn't the best idea.
But as usual, Sweetie Belle didn't fully use her head and forgot one vital piece of information, remembering that the potion only lasted for a single day instead of a lifetime. Looking towards the ground and saddened by the harsh realization of her sister's words she continued.
"I'm deeply sorry, sister dearest. However, the potion only lasts for one day. I just so greatly wanted to be apart of the adult world I never looked and thought about valuing my time as a child..."
However after she finished, Sweetie looked up at Rarity with a small smile adorning her face and a mercy pleading gaze in her eyes. "But given the circumstances...." She jumped up happily. " CAN WE PLEASE SPEND TIME TOGETHER,RARITY !? AS OLDER SISTER TO OLDER SISTER! PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!?"

Rarity followed Sweetie Belle with her eyes as her sister jumped up an down. "Only 24 hours? As in, you'll be back to your filly self tomorrow morning? Rarity didn't quite know what to say about the issue. Was she concerned that Sweetie Belle ran out on her that day? Upset that didn't follow her older sisters orders? But...she knew deep down inside her sister was only trying to do well. "Sweetie Belle...if you'd stop jumping for a moment..." Rarity asked as she was getting dizzy from following Sweetie up and down.
"Now...Sweetie...I don't exactly follow your logic in this situation...but I suppose if spending time with me means you'd go through all this trouble to go to the Everfree forest, and drink a potion...I don't think I can say no to my little sister if she cares that much." Rarity's face sparkled with forgiveness. "We'll go visit Zecora tomorrow and I'll have you apologize for barging in and making her mix up such a concoction. If all goes well, I suppose you don't have to be grounded any more."
Rarity was sure to thank Horizon and Twilight Sparkle, but dismiss them soon later. "I'm sorry you two, but right now, it's sister time." Rarity shut the door and sat on her bed, levitating one of her dresses. "Now...very carefully, slip one hoof in there, the other there, your back two here, and here, and your head through here." Rarity instructed Sweetie on how to fit into the dress properly. "There. It looks wonderful."
