My Big Human Brother

I yawn as I got up, rubbing my eyes with my hooves. It's the second week of school, Will's first day was okay, but snips and snails almost scared him to death. I walk down the stairs with my saddlebag until I look at the calendar to see today is a Saturday. I yippeed so loudly, Will runs down the stairs and looks around. "What's the wrong?! Did somebody get hurt? Applebloom! You okay?" He asks. I nodded and pointed to the calendar, he follows my hoof and hugged me into the air cheering as well. Granny Smith calmed us down with her sage-like voice.

"Would you darn kids please keep it down! I know you're not supposed to love school but jeez," she says. I giggled as Will laughed at Granny's joke. We started having breakfast when Will looks at the calendar. His smile turns into a rock-bottom frown. I tilt my head to look at the calendar and see that it isn't marked.

"What's wrong Will?" I ask. His frowning face broke and went back smiling.

"Nothing's wrong sis, just a totally unimportant day on this completely unimportant weekend, your breakfast is getting cold go ahead and eat it," he says extremely quickly.

"... It's cereal Will, it doesn't get cold..."

"S-still! Eat up," he says. Good Luna, he's about as good of a lyer as Big Mac. That's saying something.

"What. Is. Wrong?" I ask. He sighs in defeat.

"It's my birthday," he says. I grin widely in excitement.

"Congratulations Will! You're fifteen now!" I say. I didn't know his birthday was so close to mine, next week is my birthday!

"It's not that exciting," he says. "Don't worry too much about it okay?" He asks. I shake my head.

"No, it's your birthday, and I will respect it!" I say. He sighs.

"Fine, but nothing fancy!" He says. I smirk, smile and tilt my head.

"Okay!" I say mockingly. I suddenly, have an idea. "Will! You know how you like Scootaloo right?" I ask. The color on his face drains.

"What? What do you mean?" He asks.

"You know, Scootaloo, the pegasis with the small wings-"

"They're not small, just undergrown, and growing!" Will corrects. I give a smirk as Will just backed himself into a corner. He realizes this and I think his heartbeat skipped. "T-that doesn't mean anything," he stutters, blushing madly while crossing his arms.

"Scootaloo and Will, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-"

"Shut up," Will said, his blush lessening. I kept giggling to myself as I see him feel super uncomfortable about this.

"What's wrong Will? Should I plan a date for you two?" I pressed on. He grumbles something as he keeps going. "Ya know I just gotta return the favor somehow," I say sarcastically. I keep talking in a sarcastic tone as that while we walked to school.

After school, Will waved bye to Diamon and Silver, and looked at Applebloom with a slight glare. "Did ya'll really have to sing the birthday song all of a sudden?" He asked me and the gang consisting of Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo. I give an evil smile and clap my hooves together in a menacing pose.

"Reasons," I say, giving a little evil laughter in the end. He raises an eyebrow. "Anyway, hey Scootaloo!" I say smiling brightly. Will's face reads 'oh snap' as I talked. "So Will was wondering about whether or not you're free on Saturday," I say. Will face palms, trying his best not to blush, and instead looks like he wants to die.

"Yeah I am! So what're we gonna do Saturday?" She asks Will. He tenses up.

"Well, I was thinking maybe a um," he looks around wildly. I take out a poster I grabbed earlier. "A uh, movie! Yes, a movie! You a fan of horror movies?" He asks. I look at the poster, which had a symbol of the trotting dead.

"Yeah I am! What're we gonna watch?" She asks as Will and her start walking down the dirt road together. Their conversation fades off as Sweetiebelle looks confused.

"What happened?" She asked. I sighed.

"Poor naive Sweetiebelle, I just gave Will a taste of his own medicine," I say as the duo started looking excited. Sweetiebelle tilts her head, but shrugs anyway.

Will and I reach the house in about an hour, Scootaloo and Will apparently couldn't shut up about how scary the movie they're gonna see was. "I am so excited for Saturday! I bet we'll love this movie! Also the popcorn there is awesome, so-" I shut him up by putting a hoof in his mouth.

"Please shut up Will, we're home."

"Oh alright," he says. He opens the door and the room lights up with Granny Smith holding a cake.

"Happy Birthday Will! I'm so glad I was able to celebrate this with you! I got ya a cake!" She says. Will smiles widely and takes the cake.

I'd say today was a good day, Will certainly enjoyed himself. I still don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to celebrate their birthday in the first place.
