Crestfallen

I awoke to the light pouring into my room. I look over at the clock to see it was 8:30 in the morning. Shit, I overslept, I jumped out of my bed, showered, ate breakfast, And hopped in my police cruiser. I tried my best throughout my morning routine to mentally prepare myself for what I had to do today.

I took a solemn walk over to the carousel boutique, This was my first stop of the day. I reached my destination, walked along the path, and began to take the path that leads to the ever so elegant entrance of the boutique. I knocked on the door and was quickly greeted by Rarity.

"Hello, Willie" Rarity greeted enthusiastically. I looked at the ground, she was in such a good mood today. As much as I hated to kill her mood it had to be done.

"Good morning Rarity," I said. trying to put this off as much as I can.

"Please do come inside," She said as she scoots to the side and motions to the inside of the Boutique.

"I'm sorry but I need you and Sweetie Belle to come with me," I said in a dejected tone. I saw her expression change immediately. I probably should've phrased that better.

"Are we in any trouble?" Rarity said in a frightened tone.

"No, I just need to speak with you two," I said. She shoots me a confused look.

"Why can't you just tell us here," She said confusion evident in her tone.

"Well I need to tell Scootaloo and I figure It would be better if I told them together," I said sadly. It would be better if they found out together, I think it is best to mourn the death of a friend with at least one other friend present.

"Um Alright," She said, her tone shifting back to worry. "Sweetie Get ready, we have somewhere to be!" Rarity shouted up the stairs. I nod and sit down in one of the chairs on the porch, as I wait for the Duo. I start to doze off a little I try to fight it, but I am no match for my colossal lack of sleep, as I reluctantly let sleep take over my body.

I am jolted awake by the front door opening, I look over to see Rarity join me on the porch and shortly after the front door opens again and Sweetie Belle joins us on the porch.

"Sweetie You wouldn't happen to know where Scootaloo is would you?" I asked. As well as I know the girls I somehow had no idea where Scootaloo lived. That is probably important information and I am ashamed that I have gone two years without ever looking into it.

"At the clubhouse Probably," Sweetie said. She sounds a little annoyed probably due to being woken up on her sleep in the day. I nod and begin the trek back to Sweet Apple Acres. Luckily for me, I didn't have to go all the way to Sweet Apple Acres especially when I had to drag Rarity and Sweetie Belle along with me. as I spotted her out of the corner of my eye walking towards the center of town. I quickly turn and walk up to her.

"Hey Scoots," I said with fake enthusiasm. She looks up at me and smiles.

"Hey Wille," She says happily. This further broke my heart, I could deal with breaking Rarity's happiness. But Scootaloo's was just a little too important to me.

"Can you follow me, I need to talk to you," I said. Not the best way of phrasing it, but at this point, I just wanted to get it over with. She gives me a worried glance before nodding and started following us as I turned around at started to walk in the direction of Twilight's library. Fortunately for me, I didn't need to get any of Rarity's friends, I and twilight had worked this out last night, I was going to get Rarity and the remaining crusaders, And she was going to get the others and check and see is Apple Jack wanted to come.

As approached the library I sighed, this was always the hardest part. My three followers quickly and closely followed me. Even if I wasn't looking at them, I could still tell that they were exchanging worried glances. I pushed open the front door to the library and held it for my companions.

As I followed I looked into the library to see that Twilight and her friends were waiting.

"Ugh, now can you tell us why you brought us here Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said in an exasperated tone. Twilight looked at me and nodded, I nodded back and took a seat on a couch that was in everyone's line of sight.

"I'm... I'm not sure how to put this but" I stammered. Come on Willie! Don't get emotional now! I looked at the ground as I tried to get myself straight. I looked up at my audience. They all face of Varying concern, except for Twilight who just had a reassuring smile on her face.

"Apple Bloom was found dead last night" I blurted. We sat there in silence for an excruciatingly long time. It was almost uncomfortable as we just sat there staring at each other, waiting for someone to speak.

"R..Really?" Scootaloo finally asked on the verge of tears. All I could do is nod. That was all It took, Sweetie Belle burst into tears with Scootaloo quickly following, Rarity and Fluttershy also started to cry, albeit a lot less loud... and violent. Dash just looked at the ground with an empty expression on her face. Me and Twilight exchange sad glances as we sat in silence letting them have their mourn session.

I have never heard anyone cry as hard as Sweetie Belle And Scootaloo did I never thought they would stop either. This was one of the saddest moments in all of my Twenty-Two years of life, Up there with the time when my mom died. Which is a very weird thing now that I am saying it.

Eventually, it was time to go. Me and Rarity had to practically drag Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo out of the library. I Practically carried them to the Carousel Boutique where Sweetie And Scootaloo somewhere along the line decided to stay at the Boutique for the rest day (And night). Apparently Scootaloo didn't need anything from her house, I asked, but she just shook her head.

"I..I'm sorry" Is all I managed to stutter out. Rarity just sadly nodded as she entered her house. I had to assist her in getting Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo in the boutique. I stood there in the doorway as she sent them upstairs to Sweetie Belle's room. I turned to walk back to my to the police station but was stopped about halfway there by the sound of Rarity's voice.

"Wille," She asked quietly. I turned around and looked at Rarity who still looked as sad as ever.

"Yeah," I said.

"Would you mind stopping by after your shift?" She asked hope evident in her tone. I wasn't sure why she wanted me to do this, but I didn't question.

"No, I don't mind," I said. She nods. I turn around and start to head back to the station.
