Brain Storm

    "We only have two more days until our deadline Sweetie Belle!What are we going to do?!"Applebloom paced frantically around the club house, mumbling to herself pointless mumbo-jumbo.

    "Calm down, Apple Bloom.We'll figure something out.Remember?We have hearts as strong as horses?"Sweetie puffed up her chest to show pride.

    "In the mean time, we still have a column to write!What do we have written down Scootaloo?"Apple asked turning her head to her friend.

    "Uh...um..." Scootaloo hesitated. "The."

    "Seriously?Thats it?!" Sweetie Belle stomped her hooves on the floor. "Brainstorm section.Now."

    "Take it easy, Belle.Besides, I give the orders around here.Brainstorm section.Now."Apple Bloom snapped.

    Apple and Sweetie trotted to the Brainstorm Lightbulb and sat there with blank expressions.After a moment of hesitation, Scootaloo sat down next to them.

    Ten minutes passed, and they didn't a clue what to do.Sweetie Belle began eating a sandwich.

      "Where did you get that sandwich?!"Apple Bloom said.

     "You know what?I have no idea.One minute I'm thinking, the other I'm eating -"

     "I GOT IT!!"Scootaloo jumped out of the silence.

     "What?How she got the sandwich?I would like to know."Apple said grudgly.

     "No you nimrod!An idea for the column!"

     "What?!WELL WHAT IS IT?!" Sweetie Belle shook her friend up and down, still eating the mystery sandwich.

     "Let's interview Rainbow Dash and her friends!"

     "You mean Apple Jack and her friends.Apple Jack is clearly the more important element."

     "Honesty?Important?Hahahaha!Thats funny.I think generosity is important.Lets go interview Rarity and her friends!"

     "No Way!Loyalty is way better than generosity and honesty."

     "Horse Apples!Honesty is WAY better.Sweetie Belle!Stop eating that,you don't know what it's made of!"Applebloom smacked the sandwich out of Sweeties hooves.

     "Nuh-Uh!Generousity is the more important one!And I think it was chicken."Sweetie stated, getting an eye twitch from Scootaloo.

     "Neither of you are right." A voice said.

     "Spike? What the hay are you doing here?"

     The dragon emerged from the door."Twilight sent me to find some Pickle Berries. She said Pinkie needs them to make some pie.Anyway, you want to know the real important element?"

     "What are 'pickle berries' sounds gross.I guess if Pinkie likes it, every pony likes it."

     "Do you want to know which is more important or not?"he growled.

     "Yes!"

     "The Element of Magic.Without it, the others don't work.Besides, the gave the Elements to the harmony tree.Why are you arguing about-"

     "Princess Twi?Thats not amusing.It only makes sense."Apple said."She's technically the leader."

      "Well, are we interviewing the six?"Scootaloo cut in.

      "Yep.It'll be fun!"

      "You girls do that.I have better stuff to do."Spike swung a claw infront of them.

     Spike left the tree house,and when they where sure he was gone, they began chatting.

      "Who do we interview first?"

      "Erm....Pinkie?Everypony would love to hear the words of every pony's favorite laughter pony!"Apple said.

      "Twilight?Rarity told me royal gossip is interesting...but she also warned me to not mess like that with Twilight."Sweetie said.

      "Rainbow Dash?Every pony loves the fearless rainbow maned sonic rainboom legend breakersuperfastpegasuspony!"Scootaloo finished with a squee.

     "Scootaloo, you always say "Rainbow Dash" even when I ask you,'What type of cheese do you want in your sandwich?' The answer is still 'Rainbow Dash'.That type of cheese is yet to be invented!-are you thinking what in thinking?"Sweetie asked.

      "Cheese making cutie marks!"Scootaloo and Sweetie said together.

      "What is it with you and sandwiches?"Apple Bloom said at the same time.They just ignored her, and Sweetie kept eating the sandwich.

      "But first let's interview the ELEMENTS OF HARMONY!Sweetie Belle?Where did you get another sandwich?Ugh...never mind...After, we reward ourselves with our home made cheese puffs!"Scootaloo remarked.

      "So who do we interview first?"

      "Fluttershy!"Apple and Sweetie said together.Apple smacked the sandwich out of Sweeties hooves again."NO." She said.

      "Awwww...why her?Why not someone cooler?Like Rainbow Dash!The least you can do is Twilight.Please!"

      "Common Scoot don't be so mean.Where interviewing Fluttershy first and that is final."

      "Sounds like your brother will be very interested in that column.Considering he has a crush on Fl-"

      "Shut up!Big Mac warned me to NEVER mention that again.Besides, he's got competition.We heard some pony pony named 'Silver Sheets'

     fancies her."

       "Gah!"Scootaloo gaged at romantic stuff.

       "Whatever.Lets go."Apple Bloom got their notepads and quills."Let's go!"she repeated

when Scootaloo didn't move.

     Strangely, Sweetie Belle was eating another sandwich.
