The CMC Listen to Diamond Tiara

The CMC returned to Diamond Tiara, who turned out to be rather surprised by their appearance. “You three? I thought I told you all to get lost.”

Applebloom was swift to reply. “Actually, you said we should stop a train with our faces. Well we tried that, but the train went and flew off the tracks. While we’re waiting for another, got any other ideas that we can try out?”

“Wait, so you three actually tried that?”

They all nodded in reply.

Diamond Tiara’s jaw dropped and only remained suspended in the air by the muscles and other bodily tissues that prevented it from hitting the ground. Immediately she knew what she could do, and fixed her face back to a more honest expression. “Alright, well since you all seem so eager, I’ll give it a shot. There’s not many earth ponies or unicorns with talents for flying, right? So how about you two try jumping off a roof and see what happens.”

Naturally, Scootaloo, being the only pegasus in the group who by all means should have the natural ability to fly, spoke up in protest. “Wait, what about me?”

“Oh, I don’t know. How about you try and use magic? Should be pretty hard since you don’t have a horn.”

The CMC proudly replied “Okay!” in unison and scampered off, unaware that Diamond Tiara was grinning as they exited from eyesight. Regardless, Sweetie Belle took the lead.

“Alright, let’s head over to my sister’s. The shop has, like, three floors!” And with that they soon arrived. They opened the door and entered into the carousel boutique. Inside was the standard shop arrangement, except that Rarity was hanging from the ceiling from a noose, again. “Hey Rarity, me and my Applebloom are going to jump off the roof!” Rarity of course said nothing because she was a bit tied up at the moment.

Scootaloo, who had no real part in the matter left the shop and waited by the doorway. “You go ahead, I’ll wait for you two down here. I’ll just be busy trying to cast magic I guess.” The other two of course could not wait as they ascended several floors and came up to a window. Sweetie Belle opened up the window and climbed up to the roof of the shop and was followed by Appleboom. There, they could see just about every roof in Ponyville and every pony walking about the streets, all of whom did not seem to mind two fillies standing on top of a tall building. Among the many things they could spot, they also managed to catch a glimpse of a cart carrying a mass of pillows coming up to the door of the shop before disappearing under the edge of the roof.

“Awright, I gots me sum here pillas for a miss Rarity? Is there a miss Rarity he-yuh? Ey, you!” The large pegasus in a baseball cap said, pointing at little Scootaloo. “You gots the knowin’ o’ who dis miss Rarity is?”

Scootaloo pointed at Rarity, who was clearly visible from the doorway, and who was also still hanging from the ceiling.

“‘Scuse me ma’m, I gots the pillas you ordered!” With this announcement the length of rope tied in such a delicate manner became undone and Rarity trotted up to the doorway.

“Oh, thank you darling.”

“Is you gonna be awright ma’m?”

“Of course! I was simply hanging around.”

“Awright then, just sign heyuh an heyuh.” The stallion held a clipboard in his mouth with the pen tucked neatly in the metal clip. Rarity removed the pen and began to sign.

“Alright” Sweetie said “Let’s do this!” And both she and Applebloom jumped off the roof. Luckily they managed to stay airborne for at least several seconds before landing on top of a soft white mound which cushioned their fall. Unfortunately, that mound was named Rarity.

Rarity was stunned by the blow and the ensuing chaos had cause the delivery pony to flee, as most would do at the sight of children falling from the sky. The two CMC however remained unphased and joined with their third member who remarked “Wow, that was awesome! Too bad it doesn’t seem like it worked.”

The two peered at each other’s behinds and were subsequently crushed by the absence of their cutie marks. “And it doesn’t look like you had much luck either.” Observed Sweetie.

“Yeah, which is weird because I’m pretty sure I helped get Rarity down.”

“Well that’s just silly. It was probably aliens.”

They all agreed on this answer, given that it was probably not wrong. Given that there was little else to do here, Appleboom suggested “Hey girls, let’s go see if Diamond Tiara has any more ideas!” And again they all agreed and galloped away from the broken mass known as Rarity.
