Cutie Mark Crusaders

I woke up and put on my saddle-bags. I noticed that Rarity was still asleep, so I left a note and headed out. Just as I was about to leave, I noticed Derpy delivering the mail. I grabbed the letter and began to read it.

Dear Sweetie Belle,

I hope I've caught you at a good time!

I'm coming in town to visit you guys today, and I just can't wait!

I'm also bringing my new friend along! Can't wait to see you!

~Scootalo.

I folded up the letter and put it in my saddle-bags. I would leave when Scootalo left. We would be going to the same place after all! I remember calling and telling Cheerilee that I couldn't go to the original location, so I would have to go someplace else. Cheerilee had told me to go to the other one which was located in Canterlot. I had gladly accepted, after all, I would be closer to Scootalo, whether we could hang out or not!

I headed over to the train station and sat down on a bench. I would purchase her ticket when Scootalo would, so we would get the same time ticket. I knew Rarity and Apple Bloom wouldn't mind me leaving anyway. It's not like Rarity actually treated me like a sister, more like a servant.

Soon Scootalo's train arrived, and I waited early for Scootalo to get off. She and her friend ended up getting off last.

I looked off into the distance as if I didn't notice them. I did know that Scootalo loved to surprise us! As I looked off into the distance, I noticed Apple Bloom approaching.

"Good grief!" I thought.

I turned my head, and jumped in surprised to see Scootalo there. Scootalo started laughing, and soon I joined in. Once our laughing fit was over, Scootalo had tried to catch her breath as she noticed Apple Bloom approaching.

"OK." Scootalo had finally said when everyone was there. "Sweetie, this is Midnight Tango. Midnight, this is Sweetie Belle. Apple, this is Midnight, Midnight this Apple Bloom."

Everyone shook hooves. I couldn't help but notice how attractive Midnight was. I smiled as he was the only thing that clouded her thoughts.

"Sweetie?" Scootalo asked, breaking me from my thoughts. Scootalo had just asked me a question, and I didn't know the answer to it.

"Uh, what?" I asked, trying to cover up my mistake.

Scootalo facehooved, and sighed. "I asked you if you got into chorus."

"Oh! Yeah I got in! Cheerilee is sending me to the Advanced Chorus in Canterlot." I replied.

"Congratulations!" Midnight and Scootalo cheered for me. When they noticed that Apple Bloom wasn't cheering, but was instead glaring at me, they asked her what was wrong.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" Apple Bloom started angrily, "Sweetie Belle got inta chorus yesterday, then she came home, and heard me an' Rarity jokin' and freaked out! Then, ah have ta buck her door down jus' ta get it open! She then decides ta go off ta tha advanced chorus thing, and calls Cheerilee if she can transfer to tha Canterlot one."

Scootalo looked at both us and then sighed.

"I trusted that you guys wouldn't fight, but what do I come home to? Fighting! Seriously, I thought we were gonna have fun, but I guess I should forget that." Scootalo said, sadly. She then dashed off. Midnight looked at both of us, shook his head and sighed. Then he ran off to get Scootalo. That left me and Apple Bloom alone.

"Ah'm sorry that ya thought we weren't jokin'" Apple Bloom apologized. "Ah'm sorry fer everythin' ah've done to ya."

"I'm sorry for being the worst friend ever." I replied.

Then we both dashed off to get Scootalo. Our only thoughts were content on finding her, and making sure she was okay. Then I remembered a magic spell that Twilight had taught me, she said that I was going to be a very powerful unicorn, whether I wanted to use my magic or not. She taught me a trick on how to give ponies wings, and on my first try I had gotten it right! This kinda stuff would be useful if I ever decided to do tricks at a concert!

"Hey Apple Bloom." I said, slowing down.

"Yeah?" She asked stopping next to me.

"Ever wanted to fly?" I asked, a wide grin appearing on my face.

"Sure!" She replied.

I fired up my horn, and a few moments later, we both had temporary wings. Apple Bloom looked at me, her eyes wide. I was aware that because of the spell, I was an alicorn, temporary of course! We flew over to where we saw Scootalo. We were only halfway there when my wings started to give out. The spell was starting to wear off.

We landed on the ground, and ran another mile before we finally reached her.

"Scootalo?" I called out, worried.

"I-i'm here." She replied, up in a tree.

Midnight was by her side, giving her a hug, trying to calm her down.

"You two aren't going to fight again, are you?" She asked.

"'Course not! That would be silly!" Apple Bloom replied.

We all got together and had fun doing things all around the town. We were having the time of our lives, that is, until it came time to leave. Scootalo, Midnight, and I walked over to a ticket booth and bought a ticket for Canterlot. I would miss Apple Bloom, and everyone else, but there's no way I can back down now. I would miss everyone dearly. I boarded the train with Scootalo and Midnight, and we all sat together.

"Nervous?" Midnight asked. That was the first time that he had talked to me on the train.

"Kinda." I replied.

"You'll get a little homesick too, but then again, you'll also get over that." Scootalo said, joining our conversation.

"You guys getting a little hungry?" I asked, my stomach growling.

"Yeah." Scootalo laughed.

We all stood up and left for the food cart. When we sat down at a seat, we saw a filly and her dad. She looked pink, and she wore a little tiara. Smaller than Diamond Tiara's tiara, so it couldn't be her. Sure enough, it was her. She was wearing her 'eating tiara' as she calls it. I couldn't believe that she was coming on this train with us. Good thing she was going to another place, and not with us.

When we finished eating, we went back to the main cart, and sat down. I noticed a new feature on the train. There was a TV.

I grabbed the remote that was on our side of the cart, and starting flipping through some channels. News, news, news, ah, finally something. There was singing, there was all kinds of channels! We settled for some cartoons though, since we did grow up with them. Speaking of growing up, I've noticed that we've kinda been growing apart.

"So, when did you guys meet?" Midnight asked.

"Well, Sweetie Belle and I first met a long time ago." Scootalo began.

"We first met when we were both five. I was in the park playing on my scooter when I was about to fall off. I was lucky that Sweetie was a very knowledgeable pony with strong magic! She just barley saved me from crashing into a tree. We've been friends since then." Scootalo finished.

"So how about Apple Bloom?" He asked again.

"We met at Diamond Tiara's cutie ceañera." I answered.

After that, we grabbed our things and went to a cabin to sleep. I had trouble sleeping though, I would really miss everyone. Then my thoughts went to Midnight, and I slowly drifted to sleep.

When I awoke the next morning, the train was close to Canterlot, and I headed to the food cart where I saw Midnight and Scootalo sitting and eating.

"Morning." I greeted them.

"Morning." They replied.

After I ate, I refreshed, gathered my things, and I headed to the main cart. I was eager for the train to hurry and get to Canterlot so I could go into Advanced chorus. From what I heard, my teacher would be Mrs. Mary Lulamoon. She had a sister named Trixie, but I already know Trixie. Anyway, Mrs. Lulamoon is supposed to be really nice.

With little converse going on, I almost fell back to sleep. As soon as I was about to nod off, the train pulled to a stop. I got off the train, and said my goodbyes to Midnight and Scootalo. I headed off towards my building, where I was greeted by Mrs. Lulamoon. She looked like a combination of Trixie and Colgate.

"You must be Sweetie Belle!" Mary greeted me sweetly.

I nodded my head shyly. She lead me into the building, and up to my room. I was amazed. I got my own room! I knew that this was going to be the best choice that I'd ever made!
