Cutie Mark Crusaders

Ah was happy when me an' Sweetie Belle could make amends, but ah was still very sad when she left. Ah miss her an' Scootalo very much! I jus' hope that we can meet again some day. Ah also moved in to tha boutique today. Ah would miss mah family, but that don' mean that ah can't visit them when ah take mah days off. Speaking of days off, ah'm able ta pick mah days off! A'int that sound grand?

After Sweetie Belle, Scootalo, an' Midnight had left, ah packed up tha stuff that ah would need, and ah headed off to tha boutique. Ah ended up stayin' the night at Sweet Apple Acres though. Ah wouldn't be able ta take mah bed. Ah know it sounds silly, but ah really would miss it! Ah grew up in it!

Anyway, ah woke up this mornin', an' ah thought about goin' ta see mah friends, Scootalo an' Sweetie Belle, but then ah remembered that ah wouldn't see them very often anymore. Ah said goodbye ta Granny Smith an' Big Mac, then ah headed out into the fields ta say goodbye ta Applejack. As ah approached her, ah heard her cryin'. Ah hid behind ah nearby tree an' decided ta listen to her.

"Why Apple Bloom?!" Applejack cried. "Ah thought you were mah sister! Ah thought we was friends! Why did ya have to leave us? WHY?!" She started ta buck tha trees even harder. Ah felt sad. Ah guess ah had forgotten how it would affect the others around me. Ah then came up with a new decision.

Ah ran up ta Applejack an' gave her a big hug. It had surprised her. Ah then grabbed some wood, nails, a hammer, an' I headed into the middle, where Rarity's Boutique, an' the farm were divided. Ah started building a house, ah knew it would take a few days, but ah didn't care. Ah wasn't gonna make Applejack depressed like this. She was mah sister! Ah started working on tha house faster. I put everything ah would need in mah clubhouse, where ah would be stayin' until mah house was done.

I quickly wrote a letter ta Rarity, an then started on tha house again, eager ta get it done. Buildin' happened ta be another good task of mine. Ah was hopin' ta get a cutie mark in that, but ah failed. Ah turned ta fashion, an' it jus' so happened that ah was good at it!

Ah came back inside later, an had fallen asleep on the couch. Ah would start workin' early in tha morinin'. Ah jus' had ta get this done! It was either that, or make Applejack's feelings even worse!

A few days later, the house was done. It was painted, an everythin'! Ah quickly wrote a letter ta Rarity, and then ah ran over ta mah old house, an' ah frantically knocked on tha door. Applejack had opened up, sad.

"Apple Bloom?" She asked surprised.

"Come with me!" Ah called out. Ah ran as fast as mah legs could carry over to tha house that ah had built. Rarity was already waitin' there for us. When Applejack had seen tha house, she was surprised. Ah knew she would be happy. Ah jus' knew it! Applejack had stopped in front of the house, still speechless.

Ah had painted the house creamy yellow, with orange windows, an' a blonde yellow door. The door knob was red. Ah had also decorated the house with our cutie marks. The roof was purple, an' it had Rarity's cutie mark on it. Ah led 'em both inside the house, where they saw the beautiful lush carpet, an' the Orange curtains in the living room. Ah led Applejack ta one of the rooms. It was her color orange, with ah blonde colored carpet, an a beautiful stetson painted on the wall. It also had some brown curtains on it. Ah took Rarity to a room that was decorated like she would want it. Ah had put in three rooms, thinking Rarity an' Applejack could live with me. Ah wouldn't be hurt if they disagreed.

Applejack an' Rarity were still in tha rooms that ah had designed for them.

"Do ya like it?" Ah finally asked.

"Why of course ah do Apple Bloom!" Applejack said happily. Ah trotted over ta Rarity's room an' ah asked her the same question.

"Oh course darling! Too bad I can't stay in it." She said with a frown.

"Why not?" Ah asked. Surely, there must be a reason why.

"Because I've got a business to run!" Rarity said, as if ah'm ignorant.

"Rarity, haven't you noticed that you an' Pinkie are the only ones that live in your own store?" Ah challenged.

Rarity put some thought into her answer.

"I guess I do need a new home anyway. Opal needs a good field to rest in anyway." Rarity finally replied.

Tha rest of the day was spent moving things into tha new house. Big Mac an' Granny Smith were sad that both Applejack an' ah were movin' out, but still happy that were close by. Ah gave them both a big hug, an' then headed off towards mah new house. Ah was sure it would take a while before we actually got used to it.

The next day ah got up bright an' early, eager for mah first day at the Carousel Boutique. Ah had ta wait for Rarity ta get up, but while ah did, Applejack an' ah headed down ta the farm and ate breakfast. Afterwards, we bucked trees for awhile, before heading home for some lunch. Applejack, Rarity, an' ah had some apple pie.

Once finished, Rarity an' ah headed down to tha boutique, where we saw some ponies waiting in line.

"Oh don't worry dear, I've just put some ads up over town. It's sponsoring my new dresses!" Rarity said.

As we walked inside, ah noticed that the ponies had followed us. Rarity led em to one part of the store, so she could measure them. Ah stayed in another part so that ah could design a dress or suit for em. We had a lot of company. Ah knew that ah would be spending a lot of time with Rarity, but on the bright side, ah would be busy while Applejack was busy, so we saw each other at normal times.

At the end of the day, I saw Opal follow me into mah room. She curled up on mah bed and fell asleep. It was then that ah realized that ah shouldn't worry so much about anythin'. Everythin' was gonna be alright. Ah smiled, an' finally fell asleep.
