Chapter 1: The Start of a Bad Day
Apple Bloom trudged towards Carousel Boutique, her hooves dragged across the stone path as she walked. She continued with an annoyed look because of a certain pegasus behind her. The orange pegasus had been grumbling and complaining ever since they had left Sweet Apple Acres, and Apple Bloom was really starting to wish Scootaloo would just shut her mouth. Apple Bloom sighed and looked behind her, "Scoots could ya just stop ya whinin and be quiet, yur gettin on my nerves."
Scootaloo continued her grumbling and looked at her friend walking in front of her, "I just want to get this over with so I can go back to my practice session with Rainbow Dash."
"Well ya should ave thought of that before ya set off those lousy fireworks!" Apple Bloom responded.
"LOUSY?!" Scootaloo sped up her pace to catch up to the yellow earth pony, "Those fireworks would have been perfect if Sweetie Belle hadn't set them off early!
Apple Bloom rolled her eyes and looked at Scootaloo, "She wouldn't have set them off if you hadn't said the code word! Why did you get those fireworks anyway? We don't have any need for them."
Scootaloo looked down and stopped walking, she scratched the path in front of her with her hoof before finally speaking.
"...I just wanted things to be like they used to be..."
Apple Bloom stopped and turned to the pegasus, "What do ya mean? What's changed?" she asked softly.
Scootaloo looked away, her mane, which had once been spiked up above her head, came down over her eyes, "Everything changed since we all finally got our cutie marks." she looked down to her flank which had a speeding wheel with a trail of blazing fire following it. Apple Bloom looked towards her own, a silver gear with an X formed over it by a hammer and a pickaxe. Scootaloo raised her head and looked at Apple Bloom, "I thought that by recreating the things we did when trying to get our cutie marks, things would feel like they used to, but all we did was blow up a house!"
Apple Bloom walked towards her pegasus friend and wrapped a hoof her, pulling her friend into a hug, "Things will always change sooner or later, but the cutie mark crusaders are forever!" she smiled as she realized her accidental rhyme, "And I want 'cha to know that Sweetie Belle and I will always be here for ya now matter what!" Scootaloo smiled up at one of her closest friends and blew her mane away from her face. She smiled slyly, "You have to admit it Apple Bloom, the fireworks were still pretty cool!"
Apple Bloom lightly hit her on the side of her head, playfully pushing her away, "Aw alright, they were okay now come on we still need to get Sweetie Belle!" the two ran towards their destination, smiles on both of their faces.

As they neared the boutique Apple Bloom realized she was not going to win this race. Even though she may have been an earth pony with strength and endurance, she was out matched. Scootaloo was a pegasus; light-weight, swift legs and wings, with a natural need for speed, not to mention speed was her special talent. As they continued to run Apple Bloom could see as Scootaloo started to pull ahead, with every gallop lengthening the distance. Scootaloo may still not be able to fly so well with her slightly undeveloped wings but she continued to flap them, using the air boost to go farther. When they closed in on the boutique Scootaloo flared her wings open, using them as a parachute to catch the wind and bring her to a stop right next to the door.
Apple Bloom wasn't so lucky.
In her race to catch up to Scootaloo, Apple Bloom had continued to speed up to try and catch the speedy pegasus. Now, however, she regretted that. When she had tried to slow down her legs continued to move in their own speeding wheel, rocketing her towards the unaware pegasus, "SCOOTALOO!!!!!" the pegasus turned, her victorious grin turned to a face saying "Oh crap." Apple Bloom decided she would just have to come to a complete stop, she closed her eyes and when her front hooves came back around she slammed them into the ground. Well her front hooves did stop, but she didn't think about her back ones. The sudden stop left the back legs with no way to go but up and over. Her front legs buckled and she came falling forward, her rump came over and she rolled, her hooves propelled her toward the frozen pegasus. Scootaloo flared her wings as she tried to avoid the rolling earth pony, but flying was not her specialty, and she soon came back to the ground. Apple Bloom finally hit something, it was soft and moved with her as they collided and rolled in the boutique
Apple Bloom opened her eyes and rubbed her head, as she grumbled she felt whatever was beneath her move.
"Apple Bloom, would it be to much to ask for you to, oh I don't know, GET OFF OF ME!"
The yellow earth pony looked towards the door, where she saw Scootaloo with an open mouth that kept twitching at the edges as the pegasus tried not to laugh. She stood up and looked down at what had stopped her rolling, and gasped. On the ground was a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane, and a deadpan expression on her face. Scootaloo was now snickering and put a hoof over her mouth and tried to stop it.
"Oh Sweetie Belle, uh, are you alright?" Apple Bloom asked as she watched her friend stand up.
"Ya, I'm fine," Sweetie Belle levitated a brush over and started to fix her mane, "just a little surprised and sore but nothing serious." She continued to brush out her mane until she got it somewhat back to it loose curly self, then looked to a mirror to check to make sure she still looked okay. "I don't think Rarity heard that, but we-"
"Sweetie Belle!"
"Never mind," The three looked towards the voice and saw a white unicorn with a purple mane up in a bun looking at them, levitating several colored fabrics, thread, and design sheets with her.
"Sweetie Belle how many times have I told you not to make so much noise when I'm trying to work, you know I'm on a tight schedule." Rarity walked over two a chest and pulled out several gems, "Honestly you girls have hardly changed at all and it's been years! When are you girls going to finally act like your sixteen instead of twelve." She continued to mumble as she collected more supplies, before finally walking back into the other room.
"Well that was uncalled for," Sweetie Belle sat down with flattened ears, and turned away from her friends. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo shared worried looks and approached their friend.
"Hey Sweetie Belle, you okay?" Scootaloo asked softly
Sweetie Belle straightened up and turn toward her two friends, "Ya everything's fine but we should get going." she headed towards the door and walked while her friends followed behind. Before long she perked up, stood taller, and put a small skip in her step. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at each other curiously as they followed their happy friends gaze, and both looked at each other slyly. They caught up with Sweetie Belle and went on different sides so that the unicorn was stuck in the middle, she paid them no mind as her gaze followed a brown earth pony with a two-toned orange mane, who had a controller as his cutie mark.
"Oh Sweetie Belle! Did you do something different with your manetoday?" Scootaloo asked in a loud voice.
"No I think it's her fur that looks different." Apple Bloom followed with an equally loud comment. Sweetie Belle looked at her friends and saw them smirk as they cocked their heads toward the earth pony who had stopped and turned towards them.
"Oh hi Button Mash!" Scootaloo called and waved her hoof. He waved back before his eyes turned to Sweetie Belle and he smiled at her before going on his way. Sweetie Belle's face was dyed red and she turned to quickly trot away, but Apple Bloom and Scootaloo kept pace right next to her.
"You like him!" Scootaloo cooed.
"No I don't!" Sweetie Belle's voice cracked and she ducked her head and trotted faster.
"Yes you dooOOOooo!" Apple Bloom said in a sing song voice.
"I do not!" her voice cracked again, and she sped up to just short of a run.
"Sure you 'don't'" Scootaloo remarked.
Sweetie Belle turned and face her friends, "Oh just like you don't like Rumble?"
Scootaloo blushed, "Hey I-"
She turned to Apple Bloom, "Or how you don't like Pipsqueak?"
Apple Bloom turned as red as her mane, " I do not-"
"Sure you guys don't!" she giggled to herself, "Now enough boy talk we got to-" she stopped, and her friends slowed down. They were in front of the Golden Oaks Library, and could see an alicorn figure walking inside
"I thought Twilight got back tomorrow." Scootaloo said, then slowly smiled, "Hey, she probably has a spell that could help us clean up that building!" The three mares looked at one another and smiled.
"It can't hurt to ask," Apple Bloom said.
"No I'm sure she wouldn't be troubled at all!" Sweetie Belle replied. The three headed towards the door, their day may have just gotten better.
Author's Note
Finally I have been putting this first chapter off but now it's finally done and time to work on the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! :D
Twilight rushed around the library, levitating multiple books and and putting them in their right place. She had only been gone for three weeks finishing up some business in Canterlot, and had decided to come home a little early to surprise her friends. Though upon arriving at the library she immediately noticed the books lying around, and decided to fix things up. She knew Spike tried his best to keep everything organized how she liked, but she preferred doing it herself to make sure everything is where it needs to be. She placed the last book and looked around the library, "There, all done," Twilight glanced at the clock, "and with time to spare, the girls don't meet at Sugarcube Corner for another hour." she turned as she heard a knock at the door. Before opening the door she checked through the window to make sure it wasn't one of her friends, then opened the door.
"Hi Twilight!" the three outside said in sync, with large smiles and beaming eyes.
"Hi girls, how did you know I was here?" the purple alicorn asked.
"We saw you through you through the window." Apple Bloom said.
"And decided to come say hi!" Sweetie Belle added.
"But we wanted to ask you something too!" Scootaloo finished as the three smiled bigger.
Twilight looked back at the clock, she would probably have enough time to help with what it was they needed. Though she was worried one of her friends would see her and ruin the surprise, "What do you girls need help with?' The three girls looked at each other before Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo pushed Apple Bloom forward as they both took a step back.
"Uh, well, ya see we were wondering how good ya are with, uh, cleaning spells." Apple Bloom said with a big smile as her friends nodded in agreement.
"Cleaning spells? Why do you need cleaning spells?" Twilight asked. This time Apple Bloom stepped back and shoved Scootaloo forward.
"Well, uh, we kinda were messing around with some fireworks near the abandoned cabin, but things didn't really go as planned." Scootaloo added as she stepped back with the others.
"I still don't see why you need cleaning spells if you were playing with fireworks, if the blast charred something that would need a different kind of spell to fix it." Twilight said. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked to Sweetie Belle, who sighed and stepped forward.
"We need cleaning spells to clean up the mess the fireworks made...when they...went off." Sweetie Belle finished before backing up.
"What kind of mess are we talking about? Just old firework remains or something else?" Twilight levitated some books toward her and began skimming the pages looking for a simple clean up spell.
"Well, not really just firework remains." Apple Bloom stated.
"Ya, it's just a little bigger than that." Scootaloo said.
"Bigger how?" Twilight continued looking through different books.
"The building...kinda...blew up." Sweetie Belle said slowly as she looked up at Twilight with a sheepish smile all three friends shared. Twilight stopped looking through the books and looked at the three girls in front of her.
"You blew up...a building...with fireworks!?" she looked from the three girls to the clock, about ten minutes had passed, she would have to hurry and get this over with, "You know what, I don't wanna know, just lead the way."
"It's not far, it's the last building in town before the path to Sweet Apple Acres." Apple Bloom said as the four started to trot away from the library. Sweet Apple Acres! I hope Applejack doesn't have any selling to do in town, I'll have to keep an eye out for her and the others on the way over, Twilight thought as she followed the three younger mares. While walking through town Twilight explained why she didn't want her friends to see, and ask them to keep an eye out for her five friends.
"Don't worry Twilight! We're on the case!" Scootaloo looked to her friends and they all leaned in and said in sync, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS FRIEND EVADERS!"
"Girls!" Twilight looked around, making sure none of her friends had heard, "Not so loud!"
"Sorry Twilight," Apple Bloom said as she turned to Scootaloo, "See? I told you nothings changed." she said to the orange pegasus, who in turn looked and smiled at their small group of close friends. They continued on their way until they finally came across the path that led up to Sweet Apple Acres, but instead of continuing forward the three girls turned a little ways out and followed a beaten down dirt path. When Twilight came across the remains of the old cabin, she just stood there and gaped. The space around the cabin had been blasted, the cabin was in ruins, and the surrounding vegetation was charred. Her mouth continued to slowly open and close, as she tried to find the words to express what she was seeing. When she turned to look to the girls they had those large smiles they had been wearing when they came up to her door.
"So do ya think ya can fix it?" Apple Bloom looked around the remains with that forced smile on her face.
"Well," Twilight slowly took in her surroundings, she could get rid of all the debris with just a teleportation spell to transport it to the Ponyville Scrapyard, but the surrounding forest would have to be healed with a rejuvenation spell of some sort, "I should be able to fix this up, but I need you girls to give me some space and stay quiet." she watched as all three heads nodded in agreement then turned towards the ruins. She had to be slightly careful when using teleportation spells, because after she and her friends had defeated Tirek, all magic had been returned to its current host from when it was taken from them. So this meant that all the alicorn magic had returned to her, meaning the magic had to be returned to its rightful owners manually. Though when she had returned the magic, some of the princesses magic had begun to mix in with hers, so to avoid accidentally taking some of her magic they left the magic that had already begun to fuse with hers with Twilight. So she always felt slightly more powerful in the day, as to being more calm and peaceful in the dark of night, and being able to find the love to help others in need.
Sweetie Belle watched as the purple alicorn began to surround the wreckage in a violet aura and close her eyes in concentration. She herself had never been the best at magic, she could do the simplicity such as levitation, though never to the extant of her sister, and small tricks she had learned when they had always been visiting the library for Twilight Time. Rarity anf Twilight always told her that she had great power that she just needed to unlock within herself, but after years went by with countless failures she suddenly got into a massive argument with her sister about her magic abilities.
That was two years ago.
Things between her and her sister had been constantly going down hill and sure there were times when they were nice to each other, but it wouldn't take long for things to bounce right back to their previous state. Why can't I be good as magic as others are? What's wrong with me? Did I do something wrong? Was it because of some kind of childhood experience? Was I never meant to be a unicorn? Is this some kind of punishment from the world? I DON"T UNDERSTAND WHY?! She turned as she felt a hoof tap her, and was greeted by her friend's concerned faces. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo both looked at each other before one of them spook.
"Hey Sweetie Belle, are you okay?"
"Yea, are ya okay?"
Sweetie Belle looked at her friends, and put up a somewhat real smile. She may be left out when it came to magic, but she always felt so lucky to have the best friends anypony could ask for, "Ya I'm fine, just a little tired." she walked away before finally laying down in a patch off grass that wasn't as charred as the rest. They're still watching me, she hugged herself into a tighter ball, they don't understand how I'm feeling.
Apple Bloom started to walk after Sweetie Belle, but was stopped when Scootaloo put up a wing to stop her, "I think she wants to be alone right now, Apple Bloom."
"Well, if ya think that's best fer her, I guess we should help Twilight." Both walked over to a medium sized pile of debris, apparently Twilight was teleporting the remains in sections instead of one big chunk.
"Wait a second," Scootaloo mumbled as she started moving away some of the wood, revealing a large, bright blue and red firework that was mostly in tact, "Did this one never go off?"
"We probably shouldn't mess with that Scoots."
Scootaloo looked at her curiously, "Why not?"
"Well fer one there's smoke coming out of it, so even though it never went off doesn't mean it won't go off now."
"Pfft, Apple Bloom if it didn't go off with the others then it's obviously a dud."
"But what if-"
"Besides even if it's a dud it probably wouldn't be safe so it to come in contact with magic, so we gotta move it."
"But what- what about- maybe we-"
"Apple Bloom it's a firework not a bomb."
"This clearing looks like it was hit with a bomb!"
"Come on Apple Bloom," Scootaloo picked up the firework with one of her wings, "We'll just get this out of Twilight's way for now, then ask her about it later." They slowly walked into the forest, with Apple Bloom always a safe distance away from the firework carrying pegasus. Scootaloo rolled her eyes, "We'll just leave it next to this rock, it's the closest to the river so we can remember where it is," while putting it down she largely exaggerated with her movements, acting like she was dealing with a dangerous explosive.
"Ya that's really funny Scoots." Apple Bloom said with a deadpan expression.
Scootaloo laughed as she stood back up, "I know right!" she continued laughing as the yellow earth pony playfully shoved her, and she shoved back. They continued with this until they reached the clearing again, then quieted down to not disturb Twilight who had moved on to her third section to teleport away.
Apple Bloom look over to the spot where Sweetie Bell had went to lie down, "Hey Scoots?"
The pegasus looked over, "Ya?"
"Did Sweetie Belle go home?"
It was only now that Scootaloo realized Sweetie Belle was no longer lying down, "I guess she did, I wonder what was bugging her."
Sweetie Belle kicked another rock, she hadn't felt like laying down so decided to take a walk. Maybe the river will help me calm down, she always enjoyed the tranquility of the small river that was close to the cabin. She felt bad for not telling her friends where she was going, but she knew they would ask questions. Maybe I should just talk to them, if anything-OOF she fell as her hoof collided with something hard and she face planted in to the grass.Well my day just keeps getting worse doesn't it!, she looked behind her to see what she had tripped on, stupid stump. But at least I made it to the river, she picked herself and started towards the river, when something bright stood out from the natural soft scenery. She concentrated on her horn and could feel as her magic started flowing, and a light green aura appeared around the foreign object.
"How'd this get over here?" She picked up the large, brightly colored firework keeping it secured in her aura. I'm pretty sure this is the one Scootaloo was bragging about, but why is it over here?. She turned to start heading to the clearing when she started seeing sparks come off her horn, great, now it's on the fritz again. She tried to get her magic stable again before she kept going, but she continued to hear small sparks. When she checked her horn it everything seemed fine, but then a scent of smoke reached her. It was now that her eyes traveled to what she was holding in her magic. The large firework was suddenly lit, but it started being bent out of shape as small pops were heard from within.
I'm telling you guys this baby's gonna be huge!
Are you sure this is safe Scoots?
Not really, but it looks AWESOME!
I don't think this is really a safe idea Scootaloo
Come on guys! This is gonna be the best firework ever, it filled with the best explosives for fireworks!
Oh no,Sweetie Belle quickly trotted in place, looking from left to right. Then she just closed her eyes tight, and just threw it away from her. She slowly opened her eyes, and it was now she realized which direction she threw it in.
"TWILIGHT!"
"TWILIGHT, LOOK OUT!"
Oh no!she started running towards the clearing when a sudden explosion of color and noise erupted from in front of her, and a surprised scream rang out.
"Well do you think Rumble likes me, I mean, I caught him staring at me earlier when we were racing to Sweetie Belle's place."
"Scoots you would 'ave to be the one he likes, I mean who else would he go for?"
"Well I saw him talking to Silver Spoon yesterday, and they were laughing...maybe he likes her."
"Are ya insane?! There is no way he likes her! He knows how mean she and Diamond are."
"Well maybe he got on good terms with her and maybe he, oh tell me that's not what I think it is." They both looked over as they saw a bright projectile heading their way, it hit the ground rolled slowly until it came to a stop next to Twilight's hoof. They stood up and started walking towards Twilight, until Scootaloo saw the quickly burning fuse.
"Apple Bloom it's lit!"
"I thought you said it was a dud!"
"I thought it was!"
"TWILIGHT!"
"TWILIGHT, LOOK OUT!"
Twilight turned towards the girls, her horn still lit with magic. When the firework went off, she screamed and her magic suddenly went off in random burst around her as she slowly levitated off the ground. Her body started jerking as she tried to get her magic back in check, and grimaced as she felt the pain pounding at the base of her horn. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo jumped back as they felt themselves being pulled towards Twilight as air rushed past them, and ran to avoid the magic blast that were still firing at them.
"What's going on!!" Scootaloo shouted over the wind.
"I don't know!! I think the firework surprised her!!" they both watched as Twilight's body went slack, with the air around her starting to shimmer with a dark black aura, and as she slowly opened her eyes.
To reveal pure white, glowing, empty sockets.

So I guess I have to explain why I'm finally uploading this four days after what I said I , and all I can say is I was lazy but it's done now and I left the images that I feel the CMC would look like in this, but disregard the cutimarks. Oh and all the art credit goes to the original owners

oh and I'm thinking of changing the main character of Apple Bloom to Sweetie Belle, so what do ya think I should do, because I feel like I can do more character development with her.
And constructive criticism and spell check is appreciated to help improve my writing (because I'm really bad at this stuff myself) but just not total bashing since this this is my first time at trying to write. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and the next one will be out...sometime soon...hopefully
Chapter 3: The Beginning of the End
Chapter 3: The Beginning of the End
She felt the air rush past her, her hooves pounding across the forest floor. Unicorns weren't built for running, and she could already start to feel the strain as she rushed towards the cabin clearing. Sweetie Belle didn't often run as she got older, but still enjoyed it when messing around with her friends. She started slowing down as she felt something different, then stopped for a moment. She could feel a small breeze that steadily got stronger, and watched as her long curly mane started flowing in the wind in front of her. She resumed running toward the cabin, the wind getting stronger with each step forward. When a small laser of magic headed straight towards her, she barley had time to duck before it struck the tree behind her, leaving it with a ringed scorch mark. This can't be good, she slowed her pace to avoid getting caught up in the strong wind that heavily blew her forward. Looking around when she noticed two bodies huddled behind a large rock that stood strong against the fierce wind.
"Scootaloo! Apple Bloom!" she could feel the wind pushing her forward as she walked to the rock.
"Sweetie Belle! Hurry! Over here!" Scootaloo voice sounded quiet as she forced it against the wind, using her wings to both cover her face and try to dispel her voice farther.
"What's going on!" Sweetie Belle shouted over the wind as it roared past the rock they had settled behind.
"I don't know! This firework me an Scoots found came flyin back through the trees!" Apple Bloom explained, "Then it went off an I guess it surprised Twilight, and then she suddenly started floatin, and her mane started gettin wavy, and her magic went nuts and started blastin everythin! Apple Bloom took breathed in, ready to go on when Scootaloo shoved a hoof in her mouth.
"Basically something is very wrong!" She took her hoof out of Apple Bloom's mouth, earning herself an annoyed glare from the yellow earth pony.Sweetie Belle looked around the rock, followed by the two others until all three were peeking around the large boulder. All three gaped at what they saw forming above the young princess, staring wide eyed at the scene before them. Twilight still hovered above the ground with her eyes blazing pure white, her whole body emanating a large amount of magic off in waves, with her horn glowing a deep blackish purple. Though the surprising thing was the large swirling hole mixing the colors of purple, black and red, which seemed to be the source of the large wind force.
"Apple Bloom?!"
The yellow pony looked over beyond the clearing, spotting an orange coat among the trees. She stood up, "AppleJack over here!" stepping away from the protection of the rock she could feel the gale force winds pushing her forward, she struggled to keep her footing as she tried to spot her sister.
"Apple Bloom come back!" Sweetie also stood, but stayed behind the large rock.
"Apple Bloom are you out of your mind!?" Scootaloo stepped forward, feeling the wind pull at her mane.
"It's fine guys! AppleJack's here she'll kno what ta do! We just gotta- ahhh!" while looking back at her friends her hoof had caught on a large tree root causing her to fall, but she never hit the ground. As soon as she had lost her footing the wind rushed her along, rolling her and pulling her towards the portal.
"Apple Bloom!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo yelled over the wind, as they saw their friend being rushed away. Sweetie Belle stood there in a frozen panic not knowing what to do when a flash of a purple mane ran bye, she saw as Scootaloo rushed towards Apple Bloom who struggled to get a hold of something. Scootaloo flared her wings open and was rushed forward as they caught the wind, flapping them as she closed in on her friend. Keeping her balance as she caught hold of the scared earth pony, snapping her wings closed as she wrapped another hoof on a large tree root. Scootaloo could see the panic visible in Apple Bloom's amber colored eyes as she tried to keep her hold on the root as her mane whipped around her face. Watching as her friend was kept in the air by the force of the wind as it pulled them both.
"Scootaloo..." Apple Bloom kept her eyes on the orange pegasus as she spoke.
"What is it?" Scootaloo kept readjusting her grip on what was most likely not only hers but Apple Bloom's life line. When she looked up to her friend it was now that she could see the scrapes and cuts across her face, most likely from having been dragged and tossed along the ground.
Apple Bloom squeezed her eyes shut before she spoke, "...I'm scared."
Scootaloo froze, looking back at her friend just as a small tear came out that was whipped away by the wind. She knew it took a lot for Apple Bloom to admit being scared, and to admit it out loud just showed how she felt. She flashed her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry Apple Bloom, we'll get out of thi-"
"Scootaloo! Apple Bloom! Look out!"
Scootaloo looked back just in time to see a panicking Sweetie Belle before a broken tree branch came flying into her vision, hitting her directly between the eyes. Her vision danced with spots, but even though she could see Sweetie Belle moving her mouth she couldn't hear anything besides a high pitched ringing going through her heads. She could feel herself becoming light headed, as her vision blurred. Scootaloo could also feel her hoof slipping from the tree root, but she couldn't muster up the strength to hold on anymore. Her head was clouded and she felt numb, only feeling the pressure that was persistent on her other hoof. She looked up and the last thing she saw was Apple Bloom staring at her wide eyed, tears still being whipped away from her face. Everything started fading as she felt herself let go of the one thing that was keeping them anchored, and through the ringing in her head she heard a voice cut through the fog in her mind.
"Scootaloo! Please!

Okay so I kept putting this off for some reason only my self conscious knows of but I finally got it done! And that's what counts...right? We'll I hope you are all enjoying the story so far, I have many ideas for where this story can go! And if anyone's wondering why there's a gore tag, it's because of a specific scene I have in mind for later in the story...but you'll just have to wait and see what it's about >:D and could someone explain why "adventure" and "slice of life" are conflicting? It really confused me. Oh and one more thing...I suck at doing country accents. There I said it, it's out there and you will probably judge me but I can't help it! I try imagining how it would sound and then try to write it out but it just sounds...weird...so this is why when Apple Bloom or Apple Jack talks there will probably spelling mistakes but those are purposeful...sometimes. So as I said before I hope everyone's enjoying the story so far :D and you could leave a comment telling me on things I could improve since this is my first time writing "professionally" if you could call it that, but try not to be rude or out right mean when leaving a comment since this is as I said my first time writing. Hugs for everyone! *HUGS*
I'm so weird! (>U<)
