Cutie Mark Crusaders

Ah'm exhausted. Ah decided to work on tha farm on mah days off, so ah could also get some bits ta buy some food and other things for mah new house, but ah thought it would be easy! Makes me wonder how Applejack an' Rarity can do their jobs so easily! Anyway, ah wonder how Scoots an' Sweetie are doin'? Ah got a letter tha other day, but it was jus' about Scootalo's upcoming Dance Recital. Which reminds me, ah've gotta em' their outfits for when they both preform!

Somepony knocked on tha door, taking me from mah thoughts. Ah slowly got up, an' walked over to it. As ah opened it up, ah saw Scootalo in tears.

"Scootalo?" Ah asked surprised. She stumbled in, an' took a seat on mah bed. "What's tha matter?" I asked, utterly confused.

She took a few moments before finally responding.

"M-me and M-Midnight got t-together, and th-then he went a-and ch-cheated on m-me with her!" She finally said.

Ah gasped. Ah never thought that Sweetie Belle would do that! Ah also never thought that a thing like this would ever put Scootalo in a funk! She always acted like she was stone hearted!

"What happened?" Ah pryed. Ah know it a'int right ta get in somepony else's business, but ah just really wanted ta help.

Scootalo dried her tears, and calmed herself down that way she wouldn't stutter.

"Well, Midnight and I had gone on a date, and then I went over to Sweetie Belle's to tell her the good news." Scootalo stopped.

"And?" Ah asked.

"And then she yelled at me for going out with him! He made me feel so alive!" Scootalo said, crying again. Ah calmed her down so she could finished up tha story.

"Then I went back to my building. I went to Midnight's room to tell him what had happened, and he took a few minutes before opening the door. When he had opened it, I saw a book on his bed and I figured that he was just reading a book, and it took him a few minutes just to realize that I was knocking. Once I told him, I walked back to my room." Scootalo stopped again.

"Do ya want me ta go an' get ya some water?" Ah asked. Ah was done trying to get information, but tha fact that she'd confided in me, made me kinda happy ta hear her story. Ah a'int happy about what happened. She was mah friend, and what made her sad, made me sad.

"Sure." Scootalo replied. As ah walked outta tha room, I heard her breathing in and out, trying to get a hold of herself. When ah walked to tha kitchen, ah heard some glass break. Ah ran ta mah room ta find Scootalo hiding under mah bed, and a brick on the floor, glass form mah window surrounding it. Upon closer inspection, ah noticed that it had a note on it.

Scootalo.

Why would someone right on-

Ah was knocked from my thoughts as Scootalo jumped up an' pushed me outta the way. A single brick landed where I used to be standing. Ah was dazed as ah realized what had jus' happened. Scootalo had saved me from a brick that would've smashed mah skull.

Ah stood up, an' picked up the other brick. Ah also stood outta that way.

I'm sorry.

Ah handed both bricks ta Scootalo and looked outside the window, ta see a white blur disappear.

"Sweetie Belle." Ah thought.

Scootalo threw tha bricks back outside tha window and helped me fix it. Ah could tell that Scootalo wasn't gonna forgive Sweetie Belle anytime soon.

As Scootalo took off, ah gave her another goodbye hug. As ah looked around, ah noticed Sweetie Belle also nearby. Ah rolled mah eyes, and took off towards home again. Ah would have ta tell Applejack, Rarity, an' Rainbow Dash. Tellin' tha adults was tha right things ta do. Rainbow Dash also had ta know because well, she's Rainbow Dash. She was gonna found out one way, or another.

Once ah got home, ah saw Sweetie Belle yet AGAIN!

"Hey Apple Bloom. I guess you know what happened." She said nervously.

"Of course ah know you dim wit! And honestly, throwin' bricks through mah windows? What year is it? 1770?" Ah asked.

"I'm sorry." Sweetie Belle said.

"You'd better be! Especially fer what ya did ta Scootalo! That wasn't right, and you an' both know it!" Ah growled.

"I said I was sorry!" Sweetie Belle replied angrily.

"Yeah? Tell that ta Scootalo face ta face. Honestly, ah don't think she's gonna forgive ya anytime soon!" Ah said.

Sweetie Belle still looked angry, but she trotted off, and stood in the street. As a truck came by, she teleported. Back home, ah assume.

When Rainbow Dash had finally arrived, ah got Rarity and Applejack out of their rooms. Ah was gonna tell them.

"So what did you call me here for?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, it has ta do with what Sweetie Belle did ta Scootalo, and tha fact that Scootalo came ta me." Ah replied.

"What did Sweetie Belle do?" Rarity asked curiously.

"An why do ya need me here for?" Applejack asked.

"OK. Scootalo came ta me today, and said that her new stallionfriend cheated on her with Sweetie Belle." Ah said.

"She proceeded ta tell me that not only did Sweetie know, but that she also yelledat her for dating him." Ah finished.

"Rarity? May I have permission to beat the living day outta Sweetie Belle?" Rainbow Dash asked angrily.

"Oh heavens no!" Rarity replied.

"Why not? NOBODY! AND I MEAN NOBODY TREATS SCOOTALO THAT WAY!" Rainbow said defensive.

"Well, ah reckon that there a'int anything we can do." Applejack replied.

"A'INT ANYTHING WE CAN DO?!" Rainbow screamed. She then flew out of the house, racing off somewhere.

"Well, ah guess we handled that well." Ah replied sarcastically.

Applejack an' Rarity went to their rooms leaving me all alone. Ah then heard a knock on the door. When ah opened it up and saw Sweetie Belle again.

"What do ya want? Fer Celestia's sake, jus' tell me, an' stop followin' me all over town!" Ah said.

Sweetie Belle told me her side of tha story, an' ah was so angry at her, it took all of mah might not ta' smack her upside tha head. Ah told her that she should jus' go an' apologize ta Scootalo, an' she said that Scootalo wouldn't listen to her.

Ah told Sweetie Belle that she'd better leave now.

"Why?" Sweetie Belle asked confused.

"Ah told Rainbow Dash, an' now she's huntin' you down." Ah replied.

Sweetie Belle looked into mah eyes ta see if ah was tellin' tha truth, an' sure enough ah was!

Once Sweetie Belle had gone ah went ta bed. Ah had a long day of work tomorrow.

Tha next day, ah headed over ta Carousel Boutique. Ah noticed a bunch of ponies waiting outside, an' right then ah knew that today would be very busy. We would have ta work fast if we wanted ta satisfy these ponies!

After work, ah headed down ta Sweet Apple Acres where ah would be working part time. After that, ah headed to tha store an' got some food, an' then ah settled down, for a nice daytime nap.
