Sisterhooves Surprise

“Hey, you want to go play with Tank?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Sure!  But we’re not going to give him a makeover, will we?  Last time I did that, it didn’t turn out that well,” Apple Bloom replied sheepishly.

Rainbow Dash did a double take.  “You gave him a MAKEOVER?”  she asked, shocked.

“You don’t want to know.  It’s a long story,” Apple Bloom answered.  “Do you think there’s a cutie mark for playing with turtles?” she added.

Rainbow Dash winked.  “Well, we’ll have to find out about that!”  They walked towards Rainbow Dash’s house.  Once they were inside, Rainbow Dash handed Apple Bloom a helmet, and put one on herself.

“You might want to wear this.  You only want to be hit in the head by a flying tortoise once,” Rainbow Dash advised.

Obediently, Apple Bloom put on the helmet.

“Now, where is that tortoise,” Rainbow Dash wondered aloud.  Fortunately, she didn’t have to wonder for long, because a flying tortoise flew out and crashed into her head.  Fortunately, she was wearing a helmet.

“Here, Tank, here!” Apple Bloom yelled, waving her hooves.  However, Tank flew in the opposite direction.

“He sometimes needs some help,” Rainbow Dash explained apologetically.  She turned Tank around, and Tank flew in Apple Bloom’s direction.

Together, they played games with Tank, who took to Apple Bloom so much he even licked her flank.  Apple Bloom thought she finally got her cutie mark, so she started squealing with joy.  That is, until Rainbow Dash pointed out its actual identity.
