Being a Bad Foalby Alicorn ForeverChaptersJust HangingThe Third JudgeFashion Victoms Gone TOO FarCalm Down or Go DownEverypony's Got a Dark SideJust Hanging"Apple Bloom! Time for breakfast!" Applejack yelled flipping pancakes and boiling hay. Apple Bloom excitedly galloped down the stairs with a big smile and sniffing the air. "Yay! Pancake day!" She happily said as she jumped up and down, her bow fell off her mane as Big Mac walked into the room. He picked it up for her as she smiled a big 'thanks' and hopped to the table. "You want some pancakes Big Mac?" Applejack asked handing him a plate, already knowing the answer. "Ee- Yup!" Big Mac said as he licked his lips. Applejack dropped 4 pancakes on his plate and a bundle of hay next to it. Big Mac looked at her suspiciously and Applejack just smiled, then gave him 2 more pancakes. Apple Bloom came up with her plate as Applejack gave her 3 pancakes and some hay. "Today's a big day, Applejack! I'm gonna need to fuel up!" Apple Bloom said, her eyebrows pointing over to another pancake and her eyes shifting in the same direction. Applejack slowly put more hay on her plate as Apple Bloom frowned. "It has good nutrients, Apple Bloom." Applejack said grabbing her own food and sitting down with her siblings. "So, what's this big project you were talking about?" Applejack said stuffing a pancake into her mouth, syrup dripping down her chin. Apple Bloom smiled and pointed at Applejack's chin, then gave her a napkin. "Well, it's not really a project, me and Scootalo get to write about Rarity's latest fashion show!" Apple Bloom explained. Applejack wiped the syrup off of her chin and looked suspiciously at Apple Bloom. "This isn't like that gabby gums thing y'all did is it?" Applejack asked hoping the answer would be a no. "No! We just rate what we thought of the dresses and maybe give a comment." Apple Bloom says lifting Applejack of any worries she had. "Now, Rarity's dresses might not be your taste, but you got to give her a chance." Applejack says washing her dish. "I love Rarity's designs!" Apple Bloom said excitedly as Big Mac was eating his last pancake with the bundle of hay still on his plate. "Wait, you said you and Scootalo. What about Sweetie Belle?" Applejack asked taking Apple Bloom plate to wash. She smiled at her for eating all her hay. "Sweetie Belle is Rarity's sister, she would give her all ten's." Apple Bloom explained, yawning for staying up a little late last night. "Who would be the third judge then?" Applejack sat down at the table while Big Mac tried to sneak his hay under the table to Winona. "Big Mac, you gotta eat your hay! We'll be kicking apples down all day." Applejack said backing Winona up so Big Mac couldn't feed her. "Diamond Tiara since she "knows fashion"." Apple Bloom said with air quotes as she rolled her eyes at the thought of Diamond Tiara. "Now Apple Bloom, even if someone's mean to us, we're not mean back." Applejack said patting Apple Bloom on the back as Big Mac went to go load up the wagon for some apple harvesting. "You're right Applejack, I'm sorry." Apple Bloom apologizes, then eats the last of her pancake. "Now you have a good day at school, I'll see you when I get home." Applejack says as she goes outside to meet Big Mac. Granny Smith suddenly walks downstairs with her old cane and her hoof on her back. "Granny you don't look so good." Apple Bloom stats as she helps Granny Smith walk down the last few steps of the stairs. "I smelt pancakes and I came as fast as i could." Granny said sitting down at the table. "You're in luck." Apple Bloom told her, handing her the last pancake on the plate. Now, Granny might be old, but she can eat faster than you. "Dddd- elicious." Granny said licking her lips. "I got to go clean out the jam boxes for this season's apple jam." Granny says getting up from the chair. Apple Bloom waves bye to her granny, grabs her backpack and is off to met Scootalo at the bus stop. The Third JudgeDiamond Tiara wasn't the only cherry on top, Silver Spoon was also judgeing too. Right before Apple Bloom sat her flank down in the very back seat, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon scoutched right behind her and sat down, pushing Scootalo and Apple Bloom out of their way. "That wasn't very nice!" Apple Bloom pouted and turned around to the next seat. "This is my seat." Diamond Tiara inputed as Silver Spoon said, "And mine too." Diamond Tiara just rolled her eyes and patted Silver Spoon were her saddle was suppose to go. Apple Bloom pouted at not getting her favorite seat with Scootalo, who was already chomping away on her lunch, and smacking her lips as she did. "Uh! Scoota-lame! Can you close your mouth and actually have some manners once in a while?" Silver Spoon said giggling with Diamond Tiara. Scootalo just chomped louder, and that's when the dramatic noises started. "MMMMMM!" She would go in Diamond Tiara's face as Diamond scooted back in disgust. Apple Bloom crossed her arms, turned towards the window and leaned back against the seat, pouting. "How far away is Rarity's house?" Apple Bloom complained to herself inside her mind. Scootalo scooted closer to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. "Hey, do you guys like seafood?" Scootalo asked smiling suspiciously. "Well it's refined, unlike you." Diamond Tiara replied crossing her arms and smiling. "Good." Scootalo said smiling even bigger, in fact, she was smiling so big until she couldn't hold her mouth closed anymore. Right then, she showed Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara the very last bits of her chewed sandwich which looked like a big yellow and red blob. "Ewwww!!" They both screamed as they tried to shield their eyes with their hooves. "Dun it luk like babs fud?" (Translation: Doesn't it look like baby food?) Scootalo asked with her mouth still open, reveling the big blob. She finally closed her mouth as Apple Bloom was looking down to her. "What?!?!" Scootalo said secretly smiling for messing with Diamond Tiara's head. "Be the bigger pony and don't be mean to who's mean to you." Apple Bloom lectured as Scootalo was rolling her eyes and looking back at Diamond Tiara, who was writing something in her notebook. "Who taught you that lame lesson, Your old Granny?" Silver Spoon said sneering. "Now don't you talk about my granny!" Apple Bloom stood up in her seat angrily. Silver Spoon just kept on smiling, continuing her meanness. "Or was it your silent, shy brother?" Silver Spoon kept getting closer and closer to Apple Bloom's feelings. By this time, Scootalo was holding Apple Bloom back as Apple Bloom would yell, "You talk about my family one more time... AH'LL BUCK YOU LIKE AN APPLE!" Apple Bloom was furious and kicking so Scootalo would let her go. The Bus driver had to go on the intercom to tell everypony to sit down or else she would turn the bus around. Apple Bloom finally emerged from Scootalo's hooves and went straight for Silver Spoon's face. She dived right for the glasses and almost broke off one of the lens. She was ready to pull some mane of a light grayish/blue pony. "Stop! Get off me!" Silver Spoon screamed as Apple Bloom pulled her braid to the moon. "Not til' you apologize for making fun of my family!" Apple Bloom yelled. The bus driver just kept driving like the whole time there was no cat fight going on in the back. "Alright! I'm sorry about your stupid family!!" Silver Spoon yelled bucking Apple Bloom against the seat, only to knock the bow out of her mane. Apple Bloom sat upon her back two legs and dusted off her coat. She nodded and went to sit down in her seat quietly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Rarity paced back and forth throughout her work room. She didn't know if the young fouls would like her new Fillies Line called 'Fashion for Fillies' Triple F for short. She was looking for a navy blue ribbon to be the very last detail of her ninth dress she was designing. "When are they going to get here?" Rarity wondered out loud as she straightened out the pony-quin holding her green and yellow dress for very young fillies. She stood and admired her work with a smile. "Maybe a dash more glitter there." She thought aloud to herself as she put on her favorite purple glasses and searched the shelves. "What happened to all my bluer than blue glitter? All I see is my Hot pink and Glamorous Purple." Rarity complained throwing fabrics on the ground and looking past prints to try to find it. She remembered that she had it on the table right by the dresses, but it was empty except for her earring that fell out from working late. She went to the next shelf and checked for her blue glitter, tossing fabric at the seam. Suddenly, something came out of Rarity's mouth that has only come out twice. Okay... maybe more than twice, but no more than twenty times at the least. She made a high pitched sigh/scream as she dropped down to her next and hung her arms in the air. "How could I lose it! I never take my eyes off of it! It's my signature accessory!" Rarity blurted as she dashed to her kitchen to find a broom, when her front door burst open. There, her head turned in horror as one of her fears were coming to life and was staring right into her dark blue, almost purple eyes. It had a wicked smile that was ready to ruin her, and it would enjoy it. She has heard about it's wrath before, but was never too unlucky to witness it. It walked through the doorway keeping the grim smile which was now, getting creepy to Rarity. "Diamond Tiara." Rarity muttered before falling to her knees with a thud. Fashion Victoms Gone TOO Far"Okay Rarity! Listen up! I have a very specific taste in clothes!" Diamond started trotting up the stairs. Rarity just stayed where she was still in stun. "Excuse me! I am a grown mare and will not be taken down by a little filly." Rarity got up as she dusted herself and put her hooves on her hips in triumph. "Uh, no. Now here is a list of UN-acceptableness, 1. I don't wear yellow 2. I don't like stripes 3. I hate orange 4. No tights 5. It has to have BLUE SPARKLY GLITTER!" Diamond sputted as Silver Spoon, Apple Bloom and Scootalo came through the doorway. Rarity caught herself falling to the floor. She closed her eyes and hit her arm against the stairway to hope she would wake up from this horrible nightmare. She peeled back her eyelids slightly to adjust them right on all the fillies and the bus driver. "Uh, Rarity, you aw'll right?" Apple Bloom asked holding her hoof out to help her up. "Perfectly fine and perfectly normal." Rarity said dashing upstairs before any pony else. .. Once up the stairs, all of the four fillies got chairs and set them up right in front of the curtain. Of course, Diamond Tiara made Silver Spoon do hers too, but had the spirit of doing it all. Rarity dashed behind the pink cotton to get the pony-quins ready for the show. She got outfits 1-9 in order and went in front of the curtain. "Welcome young fouls and fillies-" Rarity started, "Uh, there are only fillies here." Scootalo corrected Rarity as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon giggled at the mistake. "I have worked on the speech for the intro all night, so GIVE ME A BREAK!" Rarity's eye twitched in frustration. Scootalo scooted her chair back from the curtain. Rarity smiled grimly and continued. "Today, you will witness Carousel Boutique originals, please enjoy." Rarity said hitting the button on the radio and letting the jazzy pop song play. She started setting out the pony dresses as everypony 'OOOhhh'd!' and 'AAAhhh'd' over how fabulous they are, even Diamond Tiara was showing a happy smile. All of a sudden the smile faded when the striped orange and yellow dress and white tights came out. "Uh! That is hideous!" Diamond shouted aloud. "Ah think it looks purty." Apple Bloom smiled circling a ten on her paper and writing a comment. "Well it is ugly! How do you call this fashion?!?" Diamond Tiara sput at Rarity as Rarity was so taken aback to even speak. "You don't have to be so rude!" Apple Bloom stood up on her back hooves at Diamond Tiara. "Like you know fashion, Apple Bloom. I mean, you are related to Applejack." Silver Spoon said as everything went silent at the fashion show, all of a sudden the music stopped and the mares just gaped at Silver Spoon. Even Diamond took a step back from Silver Spoon and her grim smile. Apple Bloom took a step forward towards Silver Spoon as everypony took a step back, wide-eyed. "You can insult me, you can insult my fashion sense, but, Silver Spoon, when you say one mean thing about my sister, Oh Celestia help me from jumping across this room and punching the snot out of your face right here, because you crossed the line, missy." Apple Bloom said getting closer and closer to Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon, every time Apple Bloom got a step closer, she would take a step back. Finally, Apple Bloom cornered Silver Spoon against the blue walls of the Boutique. Silver Spoon stood up out of fright and said, "You won't do anything to me and you know it." Silver Spoon got up in Apple Bloom's face with the smile back on hers. "You're right." Apple Bloom backed away walking out the door leading to the stairway. "At least not right now." Apple Bloom exited out of the door frame and left everypony with their bottom lips on the floor. Calm Down or Go DownAlice Bones stomped, groggily down the stairs as Applejack smiled, flipping pancakes for the family. "Hay Apple Bloom, you want some pancakes?" Applejack asked grabbing her a plate. Alice was not amused and stood there with her arms crossed, frowning. "It isn't Apple Bloom anymore, it's Alice Bones." Alice Bones sat down with a frown on her face still, turning away from Applejack's confused eyes. "And Ah don't want no pancakes." Alice said before completely facing the wall. Applejack stopped the grill and walked over to her little sister. She patted her hoof and took a seat. "Apple Bloom, are you going through one of those "phases"," She said smiling lightly at the yellow filly's face. Alice just smiled a crack at the end of her mouth, then all of a sudden the frown just came upon her again and that madfe Applejack frown. "Listen Applejack, I'm not Apple Bloom anymore. Apple Bloom got pushed around by bullies and was friends with the Cutie mark Crusaders. Now Alice, is tough and friends with nobody." Alice Bones said straightening in her chair. "Not even her family." Applejack smiled again and held Alice's hoof with hers. Alice just jerked away and galloped upstairs, leaving Applejack speechless. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Both of the fillies burst into the yellow and pink decor room to see Alice Bones carving a skull and crossbones on her dresser. All of a sudden, Alice turned to face the two ponies. "Apple Bloom, we need to talk." Sweetie Belle put in as Alice was dropping the black paint on the floor. "My name isn't Apple Bloom anymore, tell the world that so I never have to hear that awful name again." Alice Bones complained as she flew on top of her bedspread and sighed. "Do we have to do this? I kinda like her this way." Scootalo said getting a better look at Alice with a tilt of her head. "Scootalo!" Sweetie Belle yelled, but it was more awkward with the echo of one pony than when there was usually two yelling at her. "Look Scootalo and Sweetie Belle, you're not gonna change who ah am now." Alice said getting up from her bed and keeping a distance from her old friends. "We know." Sweetie said with her head hung down. "That's why we brought in the big guns." Scootalo smiled as her and Sweetie Belle took two steps away from the door. Alice tilted her head until the pony was there, actually there. Alice couldn't believe her eyes and was gaping at the scene. "Well cuz, I hear you're in the dumps." The brownish orange filly walked close to the former Apple Bloom who has turned in to a total emo pony. "B-Ba-Babs?" Apple Bloom asked shakily as she couldn't believe the Crusaders got Babs Seed down here. She hit her arm with her hoof to see if she was dreaming, and it appeared to her after she opened her eyes again that this, really was Babs. "Look cuz, just because some pony picked on ya, doesn't mean you have to change your whole self." Babs imputed mimicking Apple Bloom's choice of wardrobe. "You may be right, but if I change, Silver Spoon will still make fun of me." Apple Bloom hung her head down. "Apple Bloom, you are the perfect Apple Bloom, even if you're picked on, everypony is at one time or another. You are never going to be a perfect Alice Bones. I know that." Babs lectured finishing giving her cousin a hug. Scootalo and Sweetie Belle were tearing up. "That was beautiful." Scootalo weeped as Sweetie Belle called for a group hug. All four Cutie Mark Crusaders gave in, to celebrate that Apple Bloom was back and thankfully, they will never see Alice Bones again... At least they hope so... The End. Everypony's Got a Dark SideApple Bloom was feeling enthused with evil in her spine, on her way home she kicked over an old granny's trashcan, teased the train conductor and fed a rotten apple to Winona. It felt good to finally just let go and stop being such a goody two shoes. "Wait, Apple Bloom's too happy of a name for me." Apple Bloom thought aloud, "I need a new one, one that is mean and dark." She thought for a while sitting on the pink covers of her bed. "I know! Alice Bones sounds good." She smiled and rubbed her hooves together. Suddenly a small blue bird landed on Appl- I mean, Alice's window stand. Alice just glared at it, it had absolutely no purpose at all, just perching itself on her window seal. Then, it started to sing the most high, off-key song you have ever heard. Alice tried using her mane as ear plugs from the terrible noise. She tried closing her window but the bird was in the way, and she didn't want to hurt the poor creature. Wait. Yes she did! It was making her ears hurt! Suddenly, Alice slammed the window down just as the bird flew right on to the tree branch that was 5 feet away. The bird was singing louder than earlier and Alice could here it through the window. She was banging her head against her dresser, when she looked on top of it. Her baby blue hay bowl that Granny Smith gave to her when she was a newborn. Suddenly an idea popped in her head as she grabbed the priceless bowl. Alice Bones opened the window and the bird singing got louder. She bent her elbow and then PLUCK! the hay bowl escaped her hand and flew through the air. It flew until it ran right into the singing blue bird. The bird stopped dead in his notes as he sailed down the 20 feet from the branch. Without a thought about any of this, Alice just closed the window and continued on what she was doing. Being bad was so much easier than being good.
Just Hanging"Apple Bloom! Time for breakfast!" Applejack yelled flipping pancakes and boiling hay. Apple Bloom excitedly galloped down the stairs with a big smile and sniffing the air. "Yay! Pancake day!" She happily said as she jumped up and down, her bow fell off her mane as Big Mac walked into the room. He picked it up for her as she smiled a big 'thanks' and hopped to the table. "You want some pancakes Big Mac?" Applejack asked handing him a plate, already knowing the answer. "Ee- Yup!" Big Mac said as he licked his lips. Applejack dropped 4 pancakes on his plate and a bundle of hay next to it. Big Mac looked at her suspiciously and Applejack just smiled, then gave him 2 more pancakes. Apple Bloom came up with her plate as Applejack gave her 3 pancakes and some hay. "Today's a big day, Applejack! I'm gonna need to fuel up!" Apple Bloom said, her eyebrows pointing over to another pancake and her eyes shifting in the same direction. Applejack slowly put more hay on her plate as Apple Bloom frowned. "It has good nutrients, Apple Bloom." Applejack said grabbing her own food and sitting down with her siblings. "So, what's this big project you were talking about?" Applejack said stuffing a pancake into her mouth, syrup dripping down her chin. Apple Bloom smiled and pointed at Applejack's chin, then gave her a napkin. "Well, it's not really a project, me and Scootalo get to write about Rarity's latest fashion show!" Apple Bloom explained. Applejack wiped the syrup off of her chin and looked suspiciously at Apple Bloom. "This isn't like that gabby gums thing y'all did is it?" Applejack asked hoping the answer would be a no. "No! We just rate what we thought of the dresses and maybe give a comment." Apple Bloom says lifting Applejack of any worries she had.

Applejack says as she goes outside to meet Big Mac. Granny Smith suddenly walks downstairs with her old cane and her hoof on her back. "Granny you don't look so good." Apple Bloom stats as she helps Granny Smith walk down the last few steps of the stairs. "I smelt pancakes and I came as fast as i could." Granny said sitting down at the table. "You're in luck." Apple Bloom told her, handing her the last pancake on the plate. Now, Granny might be old, but she can eat faster than you. "Dddd- elicious." Granny said licking her lips. "I got to go clean out the jam boxes for this season's apple jam." Granny says getting up from the chair. Apple Bloom waves bye to her granny, grabs her backpack and is off to met Scootalo at the bus stop.

Silver Spoon got up in Apple Bloom's face with the smile back on hers. "You're right." Apple Bloom backed away walking out the door leading to the stairway. "At least not right now." Apple Bloom exited out of the door frame and left everypony with their bottom lips on the floor.
Calm Down or Go DownAlice Bones stomped, groggily down the stairs as Applejack smiled, flipping pancakes for the family. "Hay Apple Bloom, you want some pancakes?"

Alice just jerked away and galloped upstairs, leaving Applejack speechless. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Both of the fillies burst into the yellow and pink decor room to see Alice Bones carving a skull and crossbones on her dresser. All of a sudden, Alice turned to face the two ponies. "Apple Bloom, we need to talk." Sweetie Belle put in as Alice was dropping the black paint on the floor. "My name isn't Apple Bloom anymore, tell the world that so I never have to hear that awful name again." Alice Bones complained as she flew on top of her bedspread and sighed. "Do we have to do this? I kinda like her this way." Scootalo said getting a better look at Alice with a tilt of her head. "Scootalo!" Sweetie Belle yelled, but it was more awkward with the echo of one pony than when there was usually two yelling at her. "Look Scootalo and Sweetie Belle, you're not gonna change who ah am now." Alice said getting up from her bed and keeping a distance from her old friends. "We know." Sweetie said with her head hung down. "That's why we brought in the big guns." Scootalo smiled as her and Sweetie Belle took two steps away from the door. Alice tilted her head until the pony was there, actually there. Alice couldn't believe her eyes and was gaping at the scene. "Well cuz, I hear you're in the dumps." The brownish orange filly walked close to the former Apple Bloom who has turned in to a total emo pony. "B-Ba-Babs?" Apple Bloom asked shakily as she couldn't believe the Crusaders got Babs Seed down here. She hit her arm with her hoof to see if she was dreaming, and it appeared to her after she opened her eyes again that this, really was Babs. "Look cuz, just because some pony picked on ya, doesn't mean you have to change your whole self." Babs imputed mimicking Apple Bloom's choice of wardrobe. "You may be right, but if I change, Silver Spoon will still make fun of me." Apple Bloom hung her head down. "Apple Bloom, you are the perfect Apple Bloom, even if you're picked on, everypony is at one time or another. You are never going to be a perfect Alice Bones. I know that." Babs lectured finishing giving her cousin a hug. Scootalo and Sweetie Belle were tearing up. "That was beautiful." Scootalo weeped as Sweetie Belle called for a group hug. All four Cutie Mark Crusaders gave in, to celebrate that Apple Bloom was back and thankfully, they will never see Alice Bones again... At least they hope so... The End.
Everypony's Got a Dark SideApple Bloom was feeling enthused with evil in her spine, on her way home she kicked over an old granny's trashcan, teased the train conductor and fed a rotten apple to Winona. It felt good to finally just let go and stop being such a goody two shoes. "Wait, Apple Bloom's too happy of a name for me." Apple Bloom thought aloud, "I need a new one, one that is mean and dark." She thought for a while sitting on the pink covers of her bed. "I know! Alice Bones sounds good." She smiled and rubbed her hooves together. Suddenly a small blue bird landed on Appl- I mean, Alice's window stand. Alice just glared at it, it had absolutely no purpose at all, just perching itself on her window seal. Then, it started to sing the most high, off-key song you have ever heard. Alice tried using her mane as ear plugs from the terrible noise. She tried closing her window but the bird was in the way, and she didn't want to hurt the poor creature. Wait. Yes she did! It was making her ears hurt! Suddenly, Alice slammed the window down just as the bird flew right on to the tree branch that was 5 feet away. The bird was singing louder than earlier and Alice could here it through the window. She was banging her head against her dresser, when she looked on top of it. Her baby blue hay bowl that Granny Smith gave to her when she was a newborn. Suddenly an idea popped in her head as she grabbed the priceless bowl. Alice Bones opened the window and the bird singing got louder. She bent her elbow and then PLUCK! the hay bowl escaped her hand and flew through the air. It flew until it ran right into the singing blue bird. The bird stopped dead in his notes as he sailed down the 20 feet from the branch. Without a thought about any of this, Alice just closed the window and continued on what she was doing. Being bad was so much easier than being good.
