Waiting
Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and their sisters were waiting at the train station, bouncing around on the porch. Well, the Crusaders were. The older mares were standing patiently, trying to calm the fillies down. meanwhile, Tundra was staring out the window of the train, thinking about all the fun things Sweetie and her could do together. in her letters, she mentioned the “Cutie Mark Crusaders” a lot. Sweetie, and her friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo made up the Ponyville branch. Babs Seed and her two friends made up the Manehatten branch. Apparently, it was a club devoted to getting fillies their cutie marks. She sighed and stared at her own blank flank. She wondered if she should read her book, just inside her bag, wishing to be read. She turned her head, facing the saddlebag, but turned it away again. Ponyville probably has a library, she thought to herself. I can always borrow more there if my few don’t last the month… She finally gave in, struggling to lift her saddlebag with her magic, puffing out her cheeks like a chipmunk, a sparkling blue aura surrounding it. she peeked inside, looking for the book she was looking for. Aha! a blue spined book levitated out of her saddlebags. ‘Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone.’ Everypony was chattering about how it was so amazing so she had decided to try it out. “As daring do trekked through the tropical jungle, the wet heat sapped her energy and slowed her every step.” Tundra whispered quietly to herself. “If only she could escape this oppressive atmosphere and fly up into the cool blue sky. But her crash landing in the jungle had injured her wing and she was grounded for a few days. A few days---it might as well be a few months, or a few years!”...

When Tundra finally stepped out of the train, Sweetie Belle saw her instantly. She was looking around, stretching her wings nervously.
“Come on Crusaders!” she calls, trotting off to meet her. Her eyes lit up with relief when she saw her.
“Sweetie!” Tundra yelled running as fast as she could and hugging her tightly. Sweetie was a little shorter than her.
“I think you shrunk!” She said playfully.
“No I didn't you silly billy you grew!” Retorted Sweetie Belle
“Oh and you must be her friends!” Tundra exclaimed “ waitwaitwait! let me guess. ummmm… are you Scootaloo?” she asked, pointing to Apple Bloom
“Nope! I’m Scootaloo!” said Scootaloo
“Y-ya have wings… an a horn! A-are ya a Princess?” asked Apple Bloom incredulously.
She blinks. "No, Why?"
"Umm, well princesses are all alicorns."
"Oh... well I guess it's different in the USOA"
"USOA?"
"Errrr, United stables of amareica"
"Oh....."
“Come on girls lets go to the clubhouse!” Exclaims Scootaloo.
“YEAH!” yell Apple Bloom and Sweetie at the same time.
“Where is the clubhouse?” asks Tundra excitedly, her eyes lighting up at the prospect.
“Uh-uh-uh” says Rarity. “Tundra has to unpack her bags first.”
“Awwww!” say the fillies in usion. “Can’t I unpack after i see the clubhouse? It sounds soooo cool!” asks Tundra, trying her best puppy eyes impression.
“i am sorry but NO.” says Rarity. “Alright.” sighs Tundra.
“Can we come too?” asks Apple Bloom
“Yeah! Please?” adds Scootaloo.
“Eh, Fine with me.” says Rainbow Dash.
“Yeah, ah guess its fine with me too.” says Applejack.
“YAY!!!!” yell all the fillies.
“Come on! i’ll show you the way!” calls Sweetie belle. they all zip off towards carousel boutique.
“well, i’d better catch up with them…” Rarity grumbles. “See you girls at Pinkie’s ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party. bye!”
“Bye!” calls AJ and RD
