Sweetie Belle stepped into the bank, and smiled. Breathing in, she listened intently to the world around her, waiting for the right time. Starting a heartsong, she now knew, was more about timing than singing. Sweetie had to wait for the time when everything lined up. This could be influenced, but only so much.

‘Now!’ Taking a step forward, notes danced around her and the Heartsong began at her call. Pulling out the notes, she began to sing, weaving the heartsong quickly and efficiently. After a moment, it was time for her to begin to sing. Glancing around as she opened her eyes, Sweetie saw everypony was under the heartsong’s power. Perfect.

“I am going to steal from you,” she sung, spinning towards the counter. Ponies stepped out of her way.

“And there is nothing you can dooo.” Smiling, Sweetie put her bomb down on the counter, and the mare quickly dashed away to get the money. Turning, Sweetie smiled as the crowd began to sing along.

“Nothing we can do.” Humming for a moment, Sweetie touched a hoof to her chest, bowing slightly.

“For I am in charge of this song, and it is this song that controls you.” Picking up her bomb, Sweetie grabbed the bag of bits, and began to slowly walk toward the exit.

“Sweetie Belle, why do you do this? I thought you were a good girl.” Rarity’s voice spoke loudly, the crowd backing her up. Looking at them from the door, Sweetie took a step outside, and smiled.

“Oh my Sister, I do this for fun. You should give it a whirl.” Reaching a high note, Sweetie winced as her voice cracked, almost breaking the heartsong.

“Oh Sweetie dear Sweetie, please stop this at once. The punishment for stealing paints you like a dunce.” Rarity’s expression showed she was referring more to the outfit than the punishment, and Sweetie resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Time to wrap this up.

“I will not my sister, for on this day: You will watch me act, and then fade.” Calling upon her magic, Sweetie tried to teleport in time with the end of the heartsong. However, she slammed into something, and fell to the ground. Twilight approached, and smiled wickedly.

“Anti teleportation field. Your little routine gave me plenty of time to set it up.” Twilight looked to the guards as they slapped a limiter on Sweetie’s horn, and she was dressed in a bright orange outfit.

“Oh Treesap,” she swore loudly, watching as she was tossed into a carriage to be carted off to Canterlot. Rolling her eyes, she could just imagine the conversation waiting for her there. At the very least, she could blame it on Time Turner. After all, not many ponies knew what he did, and he spent most of this week pretending he was insane.

Arriving in Canterlot, she was soon brought in front of the princesses. As her crime was spoken, Sweetie could tell the two Alicorns were trying to hide their amusement. They were doing it very well too, but Sweetie was better. Looking like a scared and fearful filly, she waited as the guards went through her saddlebags.

“The bomb appears to be fake, but it’s these two notes that have us the most confused.” Pulling out the Princess's looping notes, he held them out as they blinked. Reading it, their faces creased, and they shared a look.

“These notes are nothing short of treason. We will have to give her the highest level crime we are allowed to sentence.” Celestia walked over, and leaned down, smile finally showing on her face.

“To the Moooon~,” she sung softly. Sweetie couldn’t stand it any longer, and she broke into hysterical laughter. Luna joined in shortly after, much to the guard’s confusion.

“So what were you planning on doing with the bits anyway?” Celestia raised an eyebrow as she released Sweetie, earning jaw-drops from the guards. Shrugging, Sweetie concentrated, and managed to make a very faint image of Bit-opia with her magic.

“I call it, Bit-opia. I am Best Princess in it, and you are all my willing slaves. Opal is there for some reason too.” Sweetie chuckled, pulling out her Opal doll and beaming a mischievous smile at the two. Celestia and Luna bowed, no doubt agreeing completely with Best Princess over her title being Best Princess.

“I need a bit more to finish the top, so I decided to have a little fun and rob it in song this time. I was planning on blaming it on the local insane pony.” While Changeling Time Turner was a very sane and very smart individual, Pony Time Turner was not. Sweetie doubted the two would know the difference.

“Hrm,” mumbled Luna, glancing toward Celestia. Both were silent for a moment, before breaking out into smiles once more.

“We are both glad to see you are having fun,” the spoke in unison. Sweetie beamed a smile, and accepted their offer for a chariot home. Of course, five ponies would need a proper explanation of her actions, but Sweetie wasn’t worried.

’Come to think of it…’ Sweetie looked to the two princesses standing together, and pulled out her ‘list of things to do’ looking to the next item on her list.

Oh yes, next loop would be even more fun.
