Spike, write this fer’ me

Spike, can you write this for me please?

Spike, write this for me, will ya’?

Hi, ah’m Applebloom! And ah’m Applejack’s little sister, the one who wrote about the worm infestation. Ah’ like ta’ help mah’ sister with her apples, fix things, n' crusade!

Dear Reader,

My name is Sweetie Belle, and I’m Rarity’s little sister, the one who wrote about the date. I like to help Rarity make dresses, sing, and crusade!

What’s up? The name’s Scootaloo, … Scootaloo… anyway, I’m Rainbow Dash’s adopted little sister, the one who wrote about that awesome explosion at the awesome Wonderbolt show! I like to do cool stunts with Rainbow Dash, do some really sick moves on my scooter, and crusade!

Our sisters had told us about how they’ve been given these mysterious letters from a guy called DrWhoFan611.

He’s been, like, asking for stories about something awesome that happened to them recently.

And now, we’ve been sent a letter ‘bout our stories, and he wanted us to put em’ all together in one!

All the other stories we hadn't mentioned that had been added to collection so far was about renting a book, … being Pinkie Pie… a horror movie, a hoofball game, a non perfect tea, and a supernatural encounter with a Dreamlord.

And now it’s our turn! And this time, it's not going to be some stupid, sappy story. But a real, awesomestory!

And ta’gethor, we’ll have our stories separate yet united.

Because we are united as one as the Cutiemark Crusaders, on a quest to find out who we are. And we will never stop the journey until we found our cutiemarks.

Hope y’all will like it!

I hope you will enjoy

I’m sure you're gonna' like this!

YAY!!! CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS AUTHOR CUTIEMARKS!!!

The Cutiemark Crusaders

It was a nice, hot n' sunny day. Perfect fer' pickin' apples. Ah' was just a-carryin' mah' own bucket of apples, when suddenly...

"What in tarnation is that!?" ah' yelled, pointin' at mah' sister's basket. Her name's Applejack. It was a-shakin', n' Applejack dropped her basket ta' look. Seein' Applejack react to it was the only reason why ah' was dead-sure ah' wasn't a-seein' things.

"What in Celestia's mane...?" mah' sis' sward. Yup, it totally wasn't jus' me. Ah' took a look mah'self, n' saw em' yucky wheatworms ah' learned about in school... then an idea came ta' me. But then Applejack spoke first. "Big Mac...?"

"Eeyup" said Big Mac, mah' big brother.

"Time ta' start exterminatin', isn't it?"

"Eeyup."

"Big Mac... we need Granny Smith..."

"Eeyup... I'll get her..."

Big Mac left ta' go get Granny, then ah' took mah' opportunity ta' tell AJ 'bout the wheatworms n' jus' how we can get ride of em'.

"Hey Applejack!" ah' called. "Ah' know how ta'-"

"Not now, Applebloom. We need ta' get Granny Smith n' her wisdom. She'll know what ta' do."

"But Applejack, ah' think ah' know how ta'-"

"Jus' do what yer' told n' get back ta' work. This is a matter fer' the big ponies ta' handle."

"But you say every problem is fer' the big ponies ta' handle!"

"Applebloom, jus' get back ta' work!" AJ scolded. Ah' hate it when she's like that. Despite what AJ said 'bout a-workin' instead of a-helpin' ta' fix the problem, ah' decided ta' follow n' see if ah' could get Big Mac er' Granny Smith on mah' side...

It was, like, a totally awesome day. I had finally manage to perfect my sharp turns, and a few new tricks on my scooter! Everypony just walked about in Ponyville, totally not minding me and my awesome skills. They use to be more carful, but now they basically don't worry at all. Every time I go raiding on my scooter, there came lesser and lesser accidents, and now it very really happens. And you know what else is rare? Tickets to the Wonderbolt show! Speaking of which, I was just taking a break when...

"~I got the tickets! I got the tickets! I got the tickets~! Woo ho!!! 'Can't wait to invite Pinkie Pie! This is gonna' to be so rad when we hit the Wonderbolts' show!" I heard Rainbow Dash sing on her way to sugar cube corner. There was no way she would have forgotten about me!

"Hey Rainbow Dash!" I called. "Are those Wonderbolt tickets!?" I asked.

"Um... no, defiantly not! What can possibly make you think that?" she asked with an awkward laugh.

"Well, I just heard you say 'tickets' and 'Wonderbolt show', so I thought...-"

"Are you a spy?"

"What? No! I just over heard! Still, why invite Pinkie Pie? You know I would love to go to the Wonderbolt show with you! Why not bring me?"

"Well... um... alright, you caught me. I just thought it was easier to make sure you never knew than to raise your hopes just to crush em'."

"What...- what do you mean...?"

"Here, look at the ticket your self..." she handed me one of her tickets.

"Wow! Even the ticket looks awesome!"

"No, I mean read it... at the bottom, just skip to the bottom."

"Let's see... blah, blah, blah, 'no smoking', blah, blah, blah, 'sponsored by -' this and that, blah, blah... blah... oh..."

"Yeah, ya' see? That's why I didn't want you to know about the tickets. It's age restricted. They won't let you in."

"But... why?"

"I dunno'. Maybe the people there drink and swear and parents most of complained about it, I dunno'."

"But..- but...- oh, I know! We can get a trench-coat and a mustache, then-"

"Kid', sorry. You know that trick never works. Besides, as your big sister, I personally don't want you to have all those bad words in your head and end up in a fight anyway... oh horse apples, I gotta' start hangin' out with AJ and Rarity less often... still, you heard me. Again, I'm real sorry kido', I the least I could do was not tell ya' about it. If things were different, you would have been the first pony I would ask." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Gah! It's not fair!" I... totally didn't whine.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Rainbow Dash said one more time before she left.

"Hey Pinkie Pie, wanna' go see the Wonderbolts?"

"Sorry, the Cakes have a big order to fill. And they could defiantly use an extra set of hooves."

"Oh, alright... see ya', Pinkie..."

Rainbow Dash turned away with a really said look. I trotted up to her, then gave her my biggest smile.

"Sorry, Scots. 'Age Restricted'."

"Ohh.... no fair..."

(Remember what I said about 'Squeaky Belle' in The Date...? Yeah you do... -DWfan)

It was a dark night, the perfect time to do some arts and crafts for my sister, Rarity. She was going to die for it! When Rarity showed up, she was in more than the right mood, so I knew that is was the perfect time to show her my creation! I took a deep breath, then-

"Sweetie Belle~, my dear, you would never believe what a miracle this day was!" Rarity said. I didn't want to spoil her mood, so I decided to just let her finish another one of her stories, then I could have my chance... "It was wonderful, it was marvelous, it was a day I never saw coming!"

"Ah, hah."

"It was the day I was waiting for my whole life!"

"Ah, hah."

"This morning, while Caramel and I were on another picnic... I had told you of Caramel, had I?"

"Ah, hah."

"Great! So, as I was saying; Caramel were on a picnic, when he asked me... on a date! And I said 'yes'!"

"Ah, hah- wait...! You what!?" I exclaimed. Out of all the things I thought Rarity would have said, this one I never saw coming! From that point on, that's when everything fell apart.

"You heard me, 'a date'! Isn't it just wonderful!?" Rarity asked. So... I answered as calmly and diligently as posible...

"It's *awful!"*

"Why so, dear? *Do wo' w'ink w'it's w'oss!?" (Do you think it's gross?) Rarity asked in her stupid baby voice and squeezed my cheeks. I hate it when she does that.*

"No,* no. It's just... you'll have less time with me, and... I like spending time with my big sister!"*

"Well, I think you should grow-" *Rarity thought I thought romance was gross, but I don't! I love romance... just... not when it's my bit sister! "-... oh... oh, I'm sorry; I didn't know... I...- look, Sweetie; don't worry about it too much, dear. It's not like I'm going to merry him, it's just-"*

"But *what if you do, hah? Now now, but eventually you will, won't you!?"*

"Why, Sweetie, I swear that if I do, I will *still always be around. Just... not as often... but if it may or may not happen, for this is only our first date. It could be our last for all I know. Sweetie, look, don't over think this. I'll always be around to play with you. Honest." Rarity explained. I wasn't so sure rather or not she wasn't just saying that and not actually planning on spending more time with Caramel forever. So, just to be sure...*

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"Pinkie promise?"

I cross my heart,

Hope to Fly,

I'll stick a cupcake in my Eye

I smiled. She did it. She spoke the words and did the gestures. The Pinkie Promise was sealed, never shall it be broken.

"Thanks big sister!" I cheered with a hug.

"Like I'll ever stop being your sister..."

"For a moment..." I said with a sob as I started to cry. "I really thought I was gonna' lose you."

"Oh, but of course not, Sweetie... now, I believe I have too-"

"No... just one more moment, please...?"

"Um... oh, all right. One more moment..."
