"C'mon girls this is sure to get us our cutie marks!" Sweetie Bell proclaimed as she forced the palm palms into Applebloom and Scootaloos hands. "A-Are yall sure 'bout this Sweetie belle, I feel kinda silly." Applebloom stated. "And just stupid!" Scootaloo pouted. The white mares face was still smiling but the inside of her was screaming for a certain orange mare with a short cut purple mane to shut the hell up but she kept her cool. Though Applebloom could see right through her expression, even though she motioned Scootaloo to stop the mare still carried on "I mean c'mon me a cheerleader! Tooootaly uncool" she noticed that that one remark had hurt the purple and pink maned mares feelings.
Sweetie belle remembered back when her sister called her "uncouth". even though they got over it ,it still hurt which put the mare on edge. But she wasn't the only mare on edge Applebloom was on edge too she didn't have anything against Scootaloo but she hadn't been around lately for there CMC adventures. She was always out skating and then the fact that she had a coltfriend didn't help either. By the time Applebloom came back to reality she saw the two face to face with Sweetie belle ready to go for the throat. at the sight of that the yellow mare ran in-between them and spreading her arms out as far as they could to break the pair up. "Fer Celestias sake you two cut it out were up--" "Next!" an exited teacher said "Good luck you three Ms.Cherilee told me a lot about you so make me and her proud." The three smiled warmly t the sound or there elementary school teachers name.
"ugh lets get this over with" Scootaloo said in annoyance. Sweetie belle gave her a quick Don't buck this up face. and with that they walked into the auditorium. The bleachers were filled to the brim with students all the way from 9th to 12th grade all roaring with excitement until they saw the trio that entered the auditorium. Soon it went from roars of excitement to giggles and murmurs.
Taking this opportunity of silence the teacher handed the mike to silver spoon, " AND NOW THE MOMENT YOUVE BEEN AITING FOR PLEASE WELCOME THE *snicker BF TRIO!" "Whats that stand for....the BLANK FLANK TRIO!!" wich was none other than Diamond Tiara. With that being said the audience of teens exploded into laughter. With a face of confidence the white mare with a purple and pink mane started boldly with a "LETS DO THIS!" with that the trio of mares started dancing.
After a while the crowd stared with their mouths wide open to the multiple flips being done. Never before had they seen so many flips done in mid air by an earth pony except Pinkie pie. By the time they finished the three of them were floating in mid air being held up by scootaloo who already had struggled to fly in the first place had insisted on at least hovering and keeping then afloat in the air. the girls thought this to not be possible due to the orange Pegasus's luck with flight in the past, but was proving to be invalid at this point until......that happened.
Sweetie belle sneezed causing them to jolt a little but Scootaloo wasn't prepared for this
at that moment things got out of hand and with a loud shout of an "OH SHIT!!!" by Scootaloo the three started to go out of control and ended up crashing into a giant jar filled with griffon feathers upon which the students had to guess the number of feathers were inside and that pony would win a "fabulous prize" or how the pep rally committee had put it. but was now covering the now embarrassed trio from head to hoof in feathers. "Ha ha chicken wings!" one stallion abruptly said causing the crowd to once again explode in laughter with an added on chant of "BLANK FLANK TRIO BLANK FLANK *clap clap clap*" the remander of the day was torture and the look sweetie belle had on her face said that somepony was in for it after school.
arguments lead to other things
As school let out the three met up awkwardly as they usually do and started the walk back home. Applebloom and Scootaloo were still embarrassed about the whole situation but for the most part they were over it but Sweetie belle still was distraught about the whole situation. Once there were far enough to where they couldn't see the school and no one was around Scootaloo does what she does normally and pulls out a cigarette and sticks one into her mouth.
But before she could even light it Sweetie belle shouted" WHAT THE BUCK WAS THAT SCOOTALOO!!!". The other two mares looked in confusion. "What was what?" that comment just seemed to make her even angrier "First you don't show up to any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders meetings, you blow us off every chance you get, and then you pull that shitty ass stunt that basically ruined me for the rest of high school!!!"
Over the years Sweetie belle had become more worried about popularity and what people thought about her than friendship, and high school just made it worse. With that Scootaloo snapped "How dare you try to blame this on me. if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have fallen and WE wouldn't have been in this mess" Applebloom knew it was too late for her to step in and try to stop the argument. "I had to sneeze what the buck would you have done?! Plus you wouldn't have went out of control if you ACTUALY CAME TO PRACTICE." That sent Scootaloo over the edge.
"What are you trying to say." the Pegasus asked dangerously while she moved in closer almost muzzle to muzzle with the unicorn who dared to try her. Not phased she said in the same voice she was using "If you showed up in stead of skating all the time or having your face being sucked dry every time we see you with your coltfriend then maybe you would know how to fly!" she scolded. Smirking at that the orange Pegasus asked "Your jealous of me because I have a coltfriend and you don't? that's why?!"
Realizing she been caught she could only do one thing that she thought would end it. "N-No that's not it! its that you only show up when its your turn to find an idea for us to get a cutie mark. But maybe if you stopped being such a featherhead bitch maybe u can learn to appreciate your friends and be there for them chicken shi--". Scootaloo didn't let her continue on as she punched Sweetie belle in the mouth, picking her up by the horn as she fell and kneeing her dead in the muzzle.
After realizing what she had done, with tears in her eyes Scootaloo ran away. Applebloom stood there in shock never seing this side from either of her friends (especially Scootaloo). She ran up to Sweetie belle as she lay there unconscious. After a few minutes the earth pony finally managed to wake up the bleeding mare only for her to ask " What happened and why does my head hurt?" the stern faced farm pony wanted to say "you got knocked out and yall deserved it" but seeing how she wanted to keep her friends still friends she said the first thing that came to her mind "yall fell out of an apple tree".
After getting enough distance from the two the Pegasus stopped and caught her breath. she hadn't known how far she ran but as long as she couldn't see Sweetie belle's face it was far enough. She wiped the tears away from her eyes but that was in vain as she was still sobbing uncontrollably she tried again to take a cigarette out and shakily put it in her mouth, but as she went to light it a voice came out of nowhere "don't you think your too young to smoke?" she looked around in alertness until she heard flapping but as she looked up she saw something that put her mind at ease. She saw a figure with purple and green scales and green frills down his back wearing black skinny jeans and thrashed shoes with a purple hoody unzipped with no shirt on the inside....her coltfriend.
The cigarette dropped from her mouth but she didn't care or even notice as she gave a hug to his sweaty body and kissed him deeply. The kiss lasted for a moment till she pushed him away "where the hell were you today spike!" she said in a more hurt than upset voice but that might have been from the situation earlier. Judging from the amount of sweat coming from his body she could guess he was at the skate park. spike had only been skating for about a year and a half but no one would've known due to is skill in the sport and how quickly he learned. He used to film her skating when they first started going out but that was four years ago ,but he really got into it after a while and wanted to try it out, he even got a few sponsors.
"I went to the demo today, I asked twilight and she said it was okay". the drake said as if he was about to get grounded, but then he saw her face and his expression went serious "Scoots what's wrong?" he asked worriedly. She didn't mind being called that, the only two being on this planet that could call her Scoots was her coltfriend and Rainbow dash. Almost instantaneously she started to tear up
"M-Me and Sweetie belle got I-in-into it today and *sniffle* and...."
she couldn't control it any longer she exploded into tears as she dug her face into the drakes chest and blurted out "she called me a featherhead bitch and a chicken shit!!". the drakes face went blank as he let those words process in his mind 'o celestia I know that over the years Scoots and Sweetie belle haven't been seeing each other eye to eye but I never thought it would get this bad' "and what did you do?" Scootaloo sobbed "I knocked her out". This shocked the drake. He didn't know what to do so he did the one thing he could think of. he shoved Scootaloo's board in her arms and said the three words that lead her to a smile "lets go skate."
NIGHTMARE MOONED SKATEPARK the sign said in big bold letters. As Spike and Scootaloo rode up to the park they were stopped by none other than Rainbow dash "Yo Spike Scoots" the rainbow maned pegasi shouted "im glad I caught you before I left." "left where?" the orange pony asked. "Im going to the wonderbolts convention down in cloudsdale, I wanted to give you a key to the house just in case"
"Just in case what I lose the other forty six keys you've given me?" even though Rainbow dash was the most awesome pony in existence to Scootaloo, and it was even more awesome to have her as a foster mother, Rainbow still had her faults...like being over protective even though its been six years already.
"Sorry kid guess im still not used to this whole 'parenting' thing heh" the cyan Pegasus said sheepishly. "Its cool RD ill make sure she's home in time" Spike said smoothly. "Thanks" Rainbow sighed "Well im off. See ya mondaaay" She said zooming off into the air and off leaving a rainbow trail stating that she almost sonic rainboomed on take off which she was able to do nowadays. And with that the couple walked to the entrance with a quick go ahead from the wrist booth they walked in. Being sponsored has its perks. And with a quick loving glance at each other that turned into a deep cheeky devilish grin the orange Pegasus looked away from her drake and said "Lets shred"
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"
