Sweetie belle awoke to ask one question ,"What happened?"  With the white unicorn blacking out and not remembering what happened to her prior of having a bloody nose. And with Applebloom being as good at telling a lie as her older sister she said the first thing that came to her mind. " 'Yall fell out of an apple tree." Sweetie belle knew that she wasn't telling the truth but she let it go for now. The rest of the walk home was found by an awkward silence which neither of them knew how to break, Sweetie belle said the one thing that Applebloom didn't want to hear "Hey where's Scootaloo?" Hearing that name seemed to break the silence but not the way the mare had hoped, the red maned mare seemed to shutter at the name of the orange pegasus. With a more worried look Sweetie belle said "Applebloom...what happened." that statement seemed to break the earth pony.

As Applebloom began to tell the story the white unicorn started to tear up. Sweetie belle knew she had a problem with her anger and usually acted without thinking of the consequences until afterward, granted she always got forgiven in the end like when she thought Rarity was trying to outshine her and she ruined the head piece the headset that she and Rarity made for Sapphire Shores. but then fixed it and even made some improvements on it and got forgiven. This wasn't like that time. This was her friend, her best friend. She didn't know what to do. She was scared that this might be a problem she cant fix.

Applebloom looked at Sweetie belle, she saw the guilt and the worry in the mares eyes. She walked up and gave sweetie belle a hug and almost instantly the unicorn broke down in the earth ponies arms. "I-I didn't mean it Applebloom. I didn't..." Applebloom waited for the mare to slow down in her tears which took longer than she thought but she didn't mind. Sweetie belle pushed away "I have to go see her. I have to apologize even if she doesn't forgive me I just want her to know it." "I know Sweetie I know" the farm pony stated looking into the still weeping mares eyes she said "c'mon lets go to my house" "but.." 'Yall can apologize all you want but for now we gotta do something bout that bloody nose of yers" Sweetie belle nodded hesitantly. She didn't care if she could only use one leg, she wanted to apologize before its too late.


In the horizon there stood  Sweet Apple Acres, the walk there took longer than expected. After asking Applejack if Sweetie belle could stay the night, and after a thirty minute talk on the phone with Rarity and ten of it was Applejack trying to persuade her she finally said yes. Applebloom cleaned up the mares face before anyone could notice. When they were in Applebloom's room Sweetie belle started to laugh out of nowhere. "What?"  said a confused Applebloom "I knew you were lying you can never tell a lie, even if it was to save your neck" with a slight chuckle Applebloom agreed " Yea yea I know im more open than a book in twilights library" A silence took over the room as both mares faces had a worried look as they said simultaneously "Twilight time"
