//-------------------------------------------------------// A Camping We Will Go -by tslewis- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Go Swimming //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Go Swimming With the tent up, phase one of their camping trip was complete. Next was phase two, finding something fun to do. "Okay, what should we do next?", Scootaloo asked. "There's plenty of trees, why don't we climb one of them", Apple Bloom replied. "I don't know, it sounds kind of dangerous", Sweetie Belle said. Suddenly, the crusaders hear a sound. "Do you all hear that?", Scootaloo asked. "I sure do, let's follow it and find out what it is", Sweetie Belle answered. After a few minutes of following the sound, they arrived at a river. "Wow, this river is amazing. Let's go swimming", Apple Bloom excitedly said. "Good idea, time to change into our swimsuits", Scootaloo replied. "Um, did anyone even bring a swimsuit?", Sweetie Belle asked. "I didn't" "Me neither" "I didn't bring one either, I guess we can't go swimming then", Sweetie Belle said. As they walked off, Scootaloo got an idea. "Hold on, who says we even need swimsuits?" "We can't go swimming in our clothes, we didn't bring any more", Sweetie Belle said. "That's not what I mean, Sweetie Belle", Scootaloo replied. "If we aren't swimming in swimsuits or in our clothes, what are going to wear?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Nothing". "Nothing, as in, being completely naked?" "Exactly". "We can't do that", Sweetie Belle said. "Do you have any idea how embarrassing that would be?" "I agree" Apple Bloom replied. "Come on girls", Scootaloo said, "There's no one around, so nobody will see us". "Well, I guess you have a point", Apple Bloom replied, "Okay, lets do it". "Okay, I guess it does sound like fun", Sweetie Belle said. Scootaloo then pulled off her clothes, hung them in a nearby tree, and jumped into the river. Apple Bloom was a bit more hesitant, but eventually made it into the water. Finally, Sweetie Belle walked up to the edge of the river, still in her underwear. "Sweetie Belle, why are you in your underwear"?, Scootaloo asked, "Apple Bloom and I are both naked, just take them off and jump in". "I'd just prefer to leave them on", Sweetie Belle replied. Apple Bloom then got out of the river and walked up to Sweetie Belle. "If you swim in your underwear, what will you wear under your clothes when you get dressed again?", Apple Bloom asked. As Sweetie Belle pondered this, Scootaloo snuck up behind her and stole her underwear. Sweetie Belle saw that she was naked and grabbed a leaf off the ground to cover herself. "Eek, Scootaloo, give me back my undies", Sweetie Belle demanded. "If you want them back, you'll have to come get them", Scootaloo replied. Sweetie Belle then reluctantly went after Scootaloo completely naked, eventually getting her underwear back. "See, isn't it fun swimming naked?", Scootaloo asked. "Actually, it is kinda fun", Sweetie Belle answered. She then got out of the water and hung her underwear on the branch that everyone's clothes were on. The Crusaders then spent several hours swimming naked in the river. After a while, Apple Bloom noticed some storm clouds in the sky and the wind picking up. "Girls, it looks like it's about to start storming, we should head back to camp", Apple Bloom said. "Don't worry, it's still perfect swimming weather", Scootaloo said. Immediately after saying that, the wind became stronger and it started raining. "What was that you were saying about perfect swimming weather, Scootaloo?", Sweetie Belle asked. "Fine, time to head back to camp", Scootaloo replied. They then got out of the water and went to get their clothes. But, before they could get them, a strong wind blew their clothes into the river. "Don't worry, I'll go get our clothes", Scootaloo said. "Scootaloo, don't you know how dangerous it is to go in the water during a storm?", Apple Bloom replied. "But the river is carrying off our clothes and we didn't bring any more", Scootaloo said. "We'll just have to go back to camp without them", Apple Bloom stated. The crusaders then headed back to camp. As soon as they got there, they saw that the rain had ruined the sandwiches they made and had drenched their sleeping bags. With no other options, they grabbed whatever food and water they could salvage and ran into the tent. "Well, I suppose it could be worse", Apple Bloom said. "How could it get worse? We have no sandwiches, no sleeping bags, and no clothes", Scootaloo replied. "On the bright side, at least the marshmallows are okay", Sweetie Belle said. Sweetie Belle then opened the bag of marshmallows and handed them out one at a time. After a while, they noticed that it was dark outside. "Well, we should probably get some sleep", Apple Bloom said. "But the sleeping bags are wet from the rain, how will we stay warm?", Scootaloo asked. "We'll have to huddle together for warmth", Apple Bloom replied. "But we're all naked, won't that be a little weird?", Scootaloo asked. "We'll have to do it, we don't have any other options", Apple Bloom stated. Reluctantly, they huddled together to stay warm. "This feels weird", Scootaloo said. "Well, I'll take a little weirdness over freezing to death", Apple Bloom replied. //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Go Home //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Go Home After what felt like the longest and most awkward night of their lives, the crusaders woke up the next day to a beautiful sunrise. "Well, last night was rough, but that sunrise makes it all worth it. Okay, time to get packed up and head home", Scootaloo said. "I'll take down the tent while you and Sweetie Belle grab the sleeping bags", Apple Bloom replied. As soon as they exited the tent, their feet sank into the mud. "Yuck, the ground is all muddy", Sweetie Belle said, "It'll take forever to get everything packed up with all this mud". "I vote we leave everything here and come back for it when the ground dries up", Scootaloo replied. "Me too", Apple Bloom said. They then headed back to Fluttershy's house. As soon as they got there, they all remembered something. "Um, girls, you do remember we're all still naked, don't you?", Sweetie Belle asked. "Oh my gosh, how are we going to get back home naked?" Apple Bloom asked. "Maybe there are some clothes in Fluttershy's house", Scootaloo replied. They went up to Fluttershy's front door and knocked on it. When no one answered, they tried again. "Where's Fluttershy?", Sweetie Belle asked. "Ugh, I just remembered, she's with everyone else at a concert out of town", Apple Bloom replied. "Then that means we'll have to walk through town completely naked to get home", Scootaloo exclaimed. With no other options, they all crept nervously toward home, hiding behind everything they could find. "This is all your fault, Scootaloo", Sweetie Belle said. "How is it my fault?" "You were the one who said we should go swimming naked" "Well how was I supposed to know that a storm would blow our clothes into the river?" "Would you two quit arguing, it's not making this situation any easier", Apple Bloom replied. Suddenly, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon appeared. "Hey girls", Diamond Tiara said. "Why are you all naked?", Silver Spoon asked. "We went camping and all of our clothes got blown into a river", Sweetie Belle replied. "Didn't you bring any extra clothes?", Diamond Tiara asked. "No, we didn't think we would need any since it was only for one night", Scootaloo said. "You wouldn't happen to have any spare clothes or at least something we could cover ourselves with, would you?", Sweetie Belle asked. "Sorry", Diamond Tiara said. As Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked away, the crusaders saw their only chance of escaping public embarrassment fade away. The crusaders then continued their long and humiliating walk home. As soon as they made it to Rainbow Dash's house, they saw all of the Rainbooms pull into the driveway. "Apple Bloom, what happened to you, you're as naked as the day you were born", Applejack asked. "You too Sweetie Belle. You know, it's extremely un-lady-like to run around naked in public", Rarity stated. "Well if you ask me, I'd say it takes some serious guts to walk around in your birthday suits", Rainbow Dash said. "It's a long story, can we just get home before any more people see us naked?", Sweetie Belle asked. "Sure thing", Applejack said. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash then removed their jackets and put them on Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. "There you go, those should keep your little naked behinds covered until we get home", Applejack said. "Thanks big sis", Apple Bloom replied. "You too, Rarity", Sweetie Belle said. "You too, Rainbow Dash", Scootaloo said. //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Go Camping //-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Go Camping It was a warm sunny day, exactly what you'd expect for the first day of summer. Despite this, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were sitting on the couch at Sweetie Belle's house, bored out of their minds. "Ugh, how is it possible to be so bored on the first day of summer?", Sweetie Belle complained. "Beats me", Scootaloo replied, "Do either of you have any ideas of something we could do?" After a moment of thought, Sweetie Belle had an idea. "We could go see a movie". "Nah, there's nothing good playing right now", Scootaloo replied. Right after that, Apple Bloom got an idea. "We could go to Scootaloo's house and play some video games". "I've already beaten them all". Suddenly, Scootaloo got an idea. "Hey, how about we go camping?" "That's a great idea!", Apple Bloom replied. "We could even bring our sisters with us". Apple Bloom then gets out her phone and calls Applejack. "Hey Applejack, do you want to come camping with us?" "Sorry little sis, I'd love to go camping, but I can't. The Rainbooms have a big concert out of town." "I'm guessing that means that Rarity and Rainbow Dash are busy too", Apple Bloom sadly replied. "I'm afraid so, I'm really sorry". Apple Bloom then hung up her phone. "Bad news, all of our sisters, and Rainbow Dash, are busy and can't take us camping. "Wait a minute", Scootaloo replied, "Why don't we go camping ourselves?" "I guess we could do that, just let me ask Applejack if it's okay for us to go camping alone". Apple Bloom then took her phone back out and called Applejack again. "Hey sis, is it okay if we go camping by ourselves since you can't take us camping? Please, it'll only be for one night". "Sure, you can camp in the woods near Fluttershy's house". "Great, thanks Applejack", Apple Bloom exclaimed. "She said we could go camping in the woods near Fluttershy's house". "Then that settles it", Scootaloo stated, "let's go camping". The crusaders then went to the mall. "Okay, we'll need a tent, a canteen, and some food", Apple Bloom said. They then headed to the sporting goods store, where they ran into Rainbow Dash. "Hey girls, whatcha doing?" "We're getting some supplies to go camping", Scootaloo replied. Rainbow Dash then ran off and came back holding a tent and a canteen. "Here you go, don't worry, it's on me". "Thanks, Rainbow Dash", Apple Bloom said. "Okay, now to head home and get some food". A short time later, they arrived at Apple Bloom's house. They go into the kitchen and raid the cabinets. Sweetie Belle grabs a bag of marshmallows. "I've got marshmallows". Apple Bloom grabs a loaf of bread, a butter knife, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of jelly. "I've got stuff for sandwiches". Scootaloo fills the canteen with water at the sink. "And I've got water. Time to go camping". With everything they will need packed, they headed towards Fluttershy's house. As soon as they got there, they saw a large forest nearby. They then went into the woods and searched for the perfect campsite. "How about right here?", Sweetie Belle said. "No, the ground is too hard". Scootaloo answered. "How about right here?" "No, there's too many bugs", Sweetie Belle replied. After a lot of searching, they eventually found the perfect spot and set up their tent.
