A crusader's journey

Interlude: Dear Twilight......

Previous Chapter

It was raining today. Applejack pulled herself out of bed. She slipped on her boots and walked outside. She knew the Crusaders were staying in the clubhouse, so she walked to it. Applejack opened the door.

And she screamed.

And screamed.

And screamed.

She quickly pulled out her phone and sent a text to her friends to meet outside the Crusader clubhouse.


Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Thunderlane, and Twilight stood in front of the clubhouse. Applejack gulped.

"Ah think ya'll need ta see this," Applejack said. Slowly, she opened the door. And Fluttershy threw up.

"Wh-wh-what happened?" Rainbow Dash stammered. Fluttershy kept throwing up. Slowly, everyone stepped in. Thunderlane stepped in something. He looked down.

He stepped on Rumble's corpse.

"Who did this?!" Rarity snarled. "Whoever did this shall be brought down by justice!"

"Guys," Twilight said, holding up a slip of paper, "I found a note written in Sweetie Belle's handwriting."

"Read it." Applejack growled.

"Dear anyone who's reading this, This is the Crusaders. We elket elected Sweetie Belle to write this. We're dead if you're reading this, (NO SHIT AB!) That was Scootaloo. Anyway, (GET TO THE FUCKIN' POINT!) That was Scootaloo again. Uh,let's get to the point.

"Twilight, we would've appreciated if you could REMEMBER WHEN YOU LET THE CRUSADERS STAY AT THE LIBRARY! We were there yesterday. Or when we wrote this note. Date later to be told. Anyway, you have OCD. A little mess never killed anybody. (What about that time when Sunset Shimmer killed that Ass Entry dude and revived him because of a spell?) That was Rumble. Anyway, we never really disliked you." Twilight stopped reading and passed the paper to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie, hair now flat, started reading.

"Pinkie, we loved you. So happy and bubbly, just so..........you just lived your element to the fullest. Sorry to leave suddenly. (Sorry I missed our gaming session!) That was Button. (No shit.) That was Scootaloo. (How come you wrote out all of my imput?) That was Pip. (It was idiotic.) That was Apple Bloom. Let's keep writing." Pinkie gave the paper to Fluttershy. Fluttershy, tearing up now, grabbed the paper.

"Fluttershy, we like you. You're just a doormat. No hard feelings. (Wrap this up!) That was Scootaloo." Fluttershy passed the paper to Applejack. Apple cleared her throat.

"Applejack, Ah never appreciated th' way ya babied me. Anyway, if ya j'st gave us a day, th' barn would'a been fixed. (I can't fix shit.) That was Scootaloo. (I can't fix shit either.) That was Rumble. Anyway, IT WASN'T OUR FAULT! Winona chased a group of animals to th' barn. Scoots tried ta chase 'em out, an' th' wood started fallin'. Overall, Ah love ya, Apple Bloom." Applejack sniffled, and handed the paper to Rainbow Dash. Thunderlane grabbed the paper too, so they decided to look at it together.

"Dash an' Thunderlane. About the fire and water accident......... Flitter and Cloudchaser left eggs cooking when everyone left. We kinda flooded your house to put out the fire.......... Anyway, remember when we defeated Discord for the third time? Remember when we gave out free umbrellas (You guys still haven't payed me back.) That was Pip.

"When we rescued Tank from certain death? When we helped Rarity when she suffered a stab wound? We helped you more than we screwed up. Okay, that was a bold-faced lie." Dash handed the paper to Rarity.

"Rarity, I hold great appreciation for you. Your style, your beauty, your elegance..... I wanted to be you. And you....... You.......

Insulted us! Talked about us as if we weren't there! Kids will be kids Rarity! We screw up, create messes, and rebel a bit! Don't you dare start to deny because I remember when you wore plaid, polka dots, and chevron print to school one day. We're gone now, and you can't do anything. Oh, we killed ourselves!

                                                               Forever gone,

                                                                                      Apple Bloom, Button Mash, Pip,  Rumble, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle."

The group stared at the bloody scene.

"We drove the Crusaders to suicide," Twilight whispered.

"Just because of a little forgetfulness an' badmouthin' our siblin's are dead." Applejack said. The group stood solemn. A few tears were shed, and they left.
