Figuring Yourself Out

Chapter Two

Scootaloo walked with Sweetie Belle up to the barn of Sweet Apple Acres. They knocked on the barn doors as Appleboom, the other CMC member answered the door and smiled at both of them.

“Well, howdy girls! I wasn’t expectin’ you two today. Whatcha’ girls need? Is it important?” Applebloom asked in her cute southern drawl. Scootaloo held in a giggle at Applebloom’s adorable accent.

“Well...it is kind of important. I need help with a CMC experiment. It’s not exactly to do with cutie marks but it is a thing that helps us mature as ponies get older. I’ll explain when we get to the clubhouse where it’s more...private,” Scootaloo said, looking around to make sure nopony was listening in on them.

“Alright, Scoots...let me just make sure it’s alright with Applejack. I only finished a little more than half of my chores for today.” Applebloom went over to her country house and went inside. She was met with Applejack, about to come outside and finish the rest of her chores.

“Did ya’ finish all yur’ chores, Applebloom?” Applejack asked with her deeper southern accent.

“Almost sis, but um...Scootaloo needs help with something at the clubhouse. Can I finish the rest of them when I get back?” Applebloom asked with pouty eyes and a puckered lower lip. Applejack chuckled and patted her little sister on the head.

“You’ve worked hard lately on the farm and ya’ have more than half done so sure, go have a good time. Just be back at a reasonable hour, ya hear?” Applejack warned. Applebloom nodded, smiled and kissed her big sister on the cheek as she ran out with the CMC, ready to head to the clubhouse and have a “good time.”
