Cutie Mark Crusaders

I was sitting with Apple Bloom in her tree house. Things just wouldn't be the same without Scootalo here.

"So. What do you want to do?" I asked, bored outta my mind.

"Ah dunno. Maybe we could go ta Rarity's shop an' make some dresses?" Apple Bloom suggested.

"Nah. I can't make any good designs. Wanna sing?" I suggested.

"Nah. Ah can't sing." She said.

"Let's see if Applejack could put us to work then?" I asked.

"Nah. I'm gonna head over ta Rarity. She can put me ta some fun work." Apple Bloom declared, leaving.

Now, I was all alone. I left the club house. I figured since we couldn't do anything fun I could at least have some. I was headed to the School House, when I noticed some posters that were hanging up.

Do you Love to sing? Then come on down to the School House for the first Chorus Meeting! Starts at 4:00 P.M

Seems like fun..... I looked at a clock that was hanging up. It was only 3:30. I galloped down to the school house as fast as my legs could carry me. I noticed that Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, and Twist were the only other ones there. When I walked inside, I got a distant sounding 'hello' from Twist. She was my best friend, until D.T and S.S Convinced her to ditch me.

I took a seat next to Twist, and waited for the Chorus teacher to arrive. It was probably Cheerilee.

"Hey Twist." I said finally.

"Hey." Was the last thing she said to me. When she finally arrived , she wrote some basic notes up on the black board. I recognized them right away, even though I haven't seen them before.

"Can any pony tell me which note this is?" Cheerilee asked.

My hoof went straight up. "Yes Sweetie?" Cheerilee called out.

"That would be the high note above c." I answered, shocking Diamond, Silver, and Twist.

Cheerilee smiled, and wrote another note on the board.

"Sweetie?" She called out again.

"Half note."

"Sweetie, may I see you after chorus?" Cheerilee asked, still calm.

I was nervous, I was only asked to stay after class when I got in trouble for something. I nodded slowly, and looked towards Twist, who just shrugged her shoulders.

"Time for warm-ups!" Cheerilee called out. "Now, repeat after me. Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Re, Do"

Diamond Tiara started first. "Dough, Ray, Me, Fah, Sew, Lah, Tea, Ray, Dough!!!" She screeched.

Every pony in the classroom, besides Diamond, covered their ears.

I decided to go next.

"Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti Do!" My voice rang out beautifully.

Everyone else went, and Chorus was over faster than you could say Neigh!

"Sweetie Belle, I don't think you should be in chorus." Cheerilee began.

I was holding back tears. I thought I did pretty good.

Suddenly she handed me a flyer. "I think you should be in this chorus."

My mouth went agape. This was a flyer for Advanced chorus.

"Thank you so much Cheerilee!" I excitedly said.

I ran from the school to tell Apple Bloom all about it. I knew she would feel happy for me!

When I arrived at Carousel Boutique, I ran right inside, eager to tell Apple Bloom about what had just happened.  However, when I ran inside, I didn't see anyone downstairs. When I walked upstairs, I saw them working in my room working on my special work bench. It's used for doing school work.

I walked up to the door, about to ask what was going on, when I over heard their conversation.

"Oops. Sorry Rarity, ah accidentally poked a hole in tha desk!" Apple Bloom said.

"It's OK darling! It's not even mine! Although I must say, you darling, are indeed the most wonderful sister that I've never had! You are like a rare gem! I just wish you were my sister and not Applejack's!"

I couldn't stand anymore. I bolted from the room, startling them, I ran, far into the everfree forest.

I think I'm going to end up doing this Chorus. As long as I never have to see Rarity or Apple Bloom again. I always thought that Rarity loved me. I always thought Apple Bloom was my friend, but I guess I was wrong.

When it was late, I started to walk home. I passed Sweet Apple Acres, and our, I mean, Apple Bloom's tree house. The only things in my mind were negative. My head down, the entire time. When I had finally arrived home, I heard Rarity in the kitchen. "Sweetie Belle, is that you?" She called. I put on my best Apple Bloom impression, and said, "No Rarity, it's me! Ah jus' came by to say goodnight." "Oh. Well, I've talked it over with Applejack and you're gonna be my new sister." Rarity said.

"WHAT?!" I screeched. I was really hurt.

Rarity walked in, Apple Bloom by her side. Apple Bloom just waved a hoof. "Hey Sweetie! How're ya doin'?"

"Sorry, but I don't talk to ponies who hate me, and would rather have my friends as a sister instead of me!" I yelled, glaring at them, tears falling from my eyes. Hurt crossed my face as both of them smiled.

"Sweetie, we wer-" Rarity began, but I cut her off.

"No! Don't talk to me!" I cried running up to my room. I locked my door and laid on my bed. Now I was really going to do the Advanced Chorus. I don't care how many time they beg and plead, I'm still going.
