The Arrival

Diamond Tiara walked happily around Ponyville with her PFF Silver Spoon. "So, do you think that rumor is like, true?" Diamond asked the beautiful silver filly besides her.

"Probably. Applebloom is like, so desperate for more Cutie Mark Losers that she invites her cousin." Silver Spoon remarked, sticking out her tongue. Diamond giggled and nodded. "Yeah. But what if, she's like, cool?" She asked. "Then she could join us, the cool ponies."

"That would be like, amazing. Then we could show those losers that not even Applbloom's cousin wants to joi9n their stupid club!" Silver Spoon said, adjusting her baby blue glasses. They stopped at SugarCube Corner to get some cupcakes (only for them of course) before heading to the (lame) farm that Applebloom lived on, Sweet Apple Acres.

Scootaloo flew around the train station while Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom bounced happily. After landing, Scootaloo excitedly asked AppleBloom, "Do you really think she'll wanna join?"

"She doesn't have a cutie mark! Of course she'll wanna join the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" As AppleBloom said that, Sweetie Belle bounced in front of the two. "I'm just so excited I could burst!" Sweetie Belle said, jumping up as a spark burst from her small white horn. The trio of fillies giggled together, anxiously awaiting the arrival of AppleBloom's cousin. Just then a large, colorful train rolled up to the train station. "Is that the that the train for Manehatten?!" AppleBloom excitedly asked her older sister, Applejack.

"Eeyup!" Applejack replied. The girls giggled and ran up to the train, peering through the windows. "That's her!" AppleBloom said, pointing to a random pony. "Oh, wait...that's not her.." She said. Looking about some more she pointed to another pony, a cream colored mare with a blue mane and a pink bonnet. "That's her! Wait...that's not her either..." AppleBloom then pointed to a blue stallion checking the time on his watch. And then a cow. Applejack and rose an eyebrow. "Applebloom, you've never met Babs Seed. Remember?"

AppleBloom nodded. "Oh yeah.." Suddenly, one of the train's doors opened, puffing out a cloud of smoke. "Ah, there she is!" Applejack said. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo ran over to her, bouncing in and out of her face. "Babs! Babs! It's me, yer cousin AppleBloom! And this is Sweetie Belle, and this is Scootaloo and we are so so so glad your here!"

The small, brown filly with the short red mane and green eyes nodded slowly. "Thanks, I'm happy to b-"

"This is gonna be the best week of your life!" Sweetie Belle squeaked.

"Sure hope its gonna b-" Babs began, but was interrupted again by Scootaloo.

"Seriously, you are gonna have a blast!" She said happily.

"Uh-uh.." Babs said. Applejack grabbed her suitcase and laughed. She began walking, and so did the four fillies.

"We have a really big surprise for you!" AppleBloom said, beginning to cover Babs' eyes. "A-a surprise?" She asked nervously, before her eyes were fully covered.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had finished their delicious cupcakes from Sugarcube Corner, and were now walking up the muddy path towards AppleBloom's barn. Silver Spoon stuck out her tongue in disgust. "Ew, this path is so gross!"

"I know..." Diamond Tiara sighed. "I'm sure the loser blank-flanks are in there with AppleBloom's cousin.." And sure enough, they hear Scootaloo's voice echoing from the barn. "It'll be totally fun!" They heard her say. Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara grinned. She poked her head into the barn and said in a mean tone, "More like funny.." Then Silver Spoon poked her head in, and grinned at Diamond Tiara. "Looking!" They said in unison, followed by their high pitched laughs. Walking into the barn, they looked at the pumpkin float un-approvingly. "What is that thing, a giant orange?" Diamond Tiara said, causing Silver Spoon to cackle evilly.

Applebloom smiled and pet the pumpkin float. "Its a pumpkin!" She said, glaring at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Both of the fillies rose an eyebrow and looked at the pumpkin, then back at each other. "More like a lamekin!" Silver Spoon said, making Diamond Tiara giggle. She giggled as well, before Diamond Tiara nudged her with her elbow. "Who's the new blank-flank?" She asked, pointing to Babs. Babs quickly covered her flank with her tail, sticking out her bottom lip. AppleBloom immediately jumped in. "She's my cousin, Babs! She's from Manehatten!" Applebloom said. Diamond Tiara rose her eyebrow again. "Manehatten huh? I guess you have that going for you!" Diamond Tiara said. Silver Spoon snickered. "I suppose your join their little club, what's it called? The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Silver Spoon said, smirking at Babs. Obviously she'd choose to hang out with her and Diamond Tiara, they were the cool ponies. The Cutie Mark Crusaders smirked at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, most likely thinking AppleBloom's cousins would never hang out with such mean spirited ponies. Then they looked over at Babs, who was looking back and forth between the groups. They waited eagerly for her response. This was basically life or death.

Betrayal

Babs Seed was standing in the middle of her cousins barn, looking back and forth between two groups of fillies. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, the bullies, and Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Applebloom, the fillies who had invited her to join their club and find her cutie mark. More then anything Babs wanted to be hanging out with her cousin and her friends, going on crazy adventures to find their cutie marks. But if she didn't join Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon she would be bullied just like she was in Manehatten! And she came here to get away from all of that! Babs knew what she had to do. Grinning evilly, she walked towards Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon while saying, "More like the Cutie Mark Crybabies! Ha ha ha ha.." The Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped. "Hey!" AppleBloom said, clearly unhappy. Diamond Tiara giggled and completely ignored AppleBloom's comment. "Mmm, big city attitude, I like it!"

"Mhm!" Silver Spoon nodded, adjusting her glasses. Babs sighed with relief in her mind. "Well there's more where that came from! Watch this!" She said, walking over to the pumpkin lamekin. "Uh!" She said, kicking off the part which stopped the pumpkin lamekin from rolling away. Again, the Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon giggled loudly. Babs smirked, looking and feeling happy with herself. so this is what its like to fit in.. She thought to herself. CREAK! Babs looked up. The float was rolling away! Out the barn and down the hill it went, until it crashed and completely fell apart. Babs shook her head, trying to look cool and not surprised. "Somepony's pumpkin just squashed!" She said, smirking as she heard Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's high pitched giggles. AppleBloom looked furious. "When ah tell Applejack-" She began, but Babs went right up in her face and stopped her in mid-sentence. "You gonna tell Applejack what?"

"Ya...ya know uh.." AppleBloom said, apparently intimidated by Babs. Her ears and her bow were pressed flat against her head. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked over and stood besides Babs. "C'mon Babs! You should hang with us, you know....the cool ponies!" Diamond Tiara said before walking away with Babs and Silver Spoon at her side. Babs shot one last evil glare at the Cutie Mark Crusaders before they were out of sight.

What Just Happened?

AppleBloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sat in the barn, sad expressions on their faces. Sweetie Belle was on the verge of tears, AppleBloom was still sitting down with her ears and bow pressed against her head and Scootaloo was pacing, furious about what had happened. Why would Babs do such a thing?! We were so nice to her? Did we do something wrong? Was it something I said? Scootaloo's mind was racing as she paced throughout the barn.

"What...just...happened?" AppleBloom asked.

"I think Babs just went to the dark side..." Scootaloo said.

"We have to tell Applejack!" Sweetie Belle whined.

AppleBloom frowned. "No! We're not snitches!" Scootaloo nodded. She sat down and folded her arms, pouting. "Yeah! And we're not babies!"

Sweetie Belle's bottom lip quivered. "Then, why do I feel like, crying?" She said softly, her voice wavering. It sounded like she was about to cry. All three fillies looked down sadly...

Bad Seed

Babs Seed was walking with her new friends, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"You are like, so much cooler than those Cutie Mark Lose-saders!" Diamond Tiara said, followed by giggles from Silver Spoon and a slight chuckle from Babs. "Thanks. Somepony's gotta show those crybabies their place." Babs said, though that was the last thing she wanted to do. Her mind was swimming with the thoughts of how unhappy she had made the Cutie Mark Crusaders. But at least she wasn't getting teased anymore. She was kind of happy with herself. She was fitting in for once in her life!

Silver Spoon nodded. "You are like, so cool Babs! How can you even be related to AppleBloom?" She asked.

"Oh, um...I don't know." Babs replied. Diamond Tiara snorted. This filly may have shown the Cutie Mark Crusaders they're place but that doesn't mean Silver Spoon can around handing out complements that Babs doesn't deserve! She was still a blank-flank after all.

Silver Spoon shot a confused look at her friend. Too much? She asked herself. Probably....what should I do? What should I say? Silver's mind began racing over her stupid comment. Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. She could tell that her friend was upset. "Calm down Silver Spoon!" She snapped, clearly on edge.

Silver Spoon nodded. "K'" She said casually.

Diamond Tiara turned to Babs. "Don't think your really something special, just because she showed a few losers their place doesn't mean your Miss. Popular." She said rudely. "It's gonna take a lot more to impress me!"

Babs frowned. A moment they thought she was the coolest pony and now their turning on her. "Got it." Babs said flatly. Diamond Tiara smiled, looking satisfied. "Good. Because Miss. Popular is my title." She said, sighing happily.

"M-mine too!" Silver Spoon chimed in nervously, not sure what Diamond would say.

Diamond smiled warmly at her friend, completely forgetting their previous scuffle. "Yeah, hers too!"  Silver Spoon sighed in relief. She grinned because she knew what time it was. Diamond Tiara grinned as well.

"Bump, bump sugarlump rump!" They chanted at the same time, doing the hoofshake with it as well. They bumped their rumps together at the word, 'rump', showing off their amazing cutie marks. Babs looked confused. "What was that?" She asked. Diamond Tiara smiled at her friend once more before turning to Babs. "It's our hoofshake. It shows off our amazing cutie marks!" She explained. Silver Spoon nodded, adjusting her glasses. "You have a lot to learn." She said to Babs. Diamond Tiara nodded. "Like, a LOT!" Babs nodded. "Okay..." She said, not really sure what else to say.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were hidden inside their clubhouse, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sitting on the floor while AppleBloom closed the curtains.

"We have to tell Applejack!" Sweetie Belle whined.

"NO!" AppleBloom and Scootaloo said in unison.

Sweetie Belle frowned. "Oh.." She mumbled. Applebloom frowned as well, closing the rest of the curtains. "Besides, she's only here for a few weeks! We'll just avoid her like the plague until she goes home." She explained, sitting down on the floor with the other two Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Scootaloo half smiled. "Yeah, avoid her. How hard could that be?"
