An Apple of a Friend

          Apple Bloom had decided to go ask the only pony she could for help, Applejack. Her sister was honest, not only because it was her Element, but she also trusted Applejack the most. She went to find Applejack and found the mare outside in the orchard bucking apple trees. "Hay Applejack! Can Ah ask you somethin'?" Apple Bloom asked concerned,Applejack stopped an trotted over to her sister's side."Sure thing sugarcube," Apple Bloom took a deep breath, and explained everything to her sister, who listened with plenty of patience. She explained the morning that Twist gave her the card, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo asking her if she was going to attend the party, and the note telling her she shouldn't go. Applejack couldn't believe what she was hearing, if she'd known how much pressure her little sister was in, she would've helped her out sooner.

"Apple Bloom. Listen, you're all stressed out, I understand, it's peer pressure. Ah'm sure Sweetie Belle an' Scootaloo will come aroun', when they realize what they're doin' is wrong. Now off you go, and enjoy the sunny weather." Applejack held Apple Bloom in a brief embrace, and let her go. Apple Bloom ran to find her friends, hopefully, they weren't being jerks today."Have you seen Apple Bloom anywhere?" She heard Twist ask a nearby pony. "Should I go to her?" Apple Bloom said to herself, but before she could answer her own question, Twist saw her and galloped over."Hey Apple Bloom! Don't forget about my party!" She said and trotted away.
