Sunset was humming to herself, she had just left her math class. Apple Bloom was watching her closely as Sunset walked through the corridors, she managed to get ahead of Sunset and hid in another hallway. She pulled out a bag of dark blue marbles and rolled them into the corridor, she giggled as she heard Sunset scream. She then turned the corner to see Sunset in her devil form rubbing the back of her head “I’m so lucky to have magic.”

She then frowned as she levitated the marbles off the floor and into her hands “Don’t want someone else to slip and hit their head, most people aren’t devils like me.” Apple Bloom scowled quietly as she had to come up with another plan.

Sunset frowned as most students were still glaring at her, still most students would do little more than glare. They all knew what Sunset and her group of friends were capable of, also they all didn’t want to anger Cozy Glow.

Sunset entered the Cafeteria, she joined her friends at their table. Cozy blinked “Where did you get those marbles?”

Sunset grimaced “Someone spread the on the floor for me to trip on, if it was not for my demon form I might be in hospital. Someone is still holding a serious grudge on me.”

Gilda growled “When I get my talons on them...”

Fluttershy raised her hand “Let’s not jump to violence, words can be just as devastating. Sometimes even more so, a scar on the spirit is worth one thousand scars on the body.” Her voice darkened “When I’m done there will be naught left but ash!”

Cozy frowned “Be careful, Vengeance is a very dark path to tread. You don’t want to tread that path lightly.”

Wallflower nodded with a sigh “There were so many times I was so tempted to use the power of the stone to do something utterly horrible. I had considered removing all of the positive memories of someone from the lives of multiple people but the one things that stopped was the fact I would one day be unable to look myself in the mirror.”

Rainbow nodded “I spent years alone because of that, I hurt my friends because of my stupid pride. I won’t allow such a thing to happen again.”

Applejack frowned “That’s behind us now, we will never let that happen again.”

Rarity frowned “Enough of the doom and gloom” she then smiled “Anyone have any major plans for the afternoon?”

Sonata cheered “We’ve got a baking club outside of school if anyone wants to come?”

Pinkie grinned “I’d love to come, baking is a lot of fun.”

Gilda nodded with a smile “Pinkie has been teaching me how to bake, it appears I have quite a knack for it. I’d like to come too.”

Aria chuckled “Well I’m glad I’ll have someone somewhat serious in the car with me, Sonata is very silly.”

Meanwhile Apple Bloom was sitting next to a nervous Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom was glaring at Sunset and Cozy Glow. Scootaloo meanwhile was sitting on her own, watching Apple Bloom from a distance.

Rainbow noticed Scootaloo was sitting on her own, she stood up and walked over to her “Is there something wrong? You are usually sitting with your friends.”

Scootaloo grimaced with fire in her eyes “Apple Bloom is holding the mother of all grudges right now and I can’t stand it. Her eyes are focused on both Sunset and Cozy Glow, I’m worried that soon she will do something incredibly stupid.”

Rainbow looked at her “Scootaloo, if she does do something stupid you need to support through the repercussions of her actions. I am proud of you for standing up to your friend when you believe she is wrong, it’s not an easy thing to do.” Rainbow smiled “Join us, you shouldn’t be sitting alone like this.”

Scootaloo smiled “I’d like that Rainbow, thanks.”

Rainbow and Scootaloo took a seat at the table, Scootaloo frowned as she saw the dark blue marbles in Sunset’s claws “Where did you get those?”

Sunset raised an eyebrow “Someone spread the hallways and I slipped on them hitting my head, thankfully in this state I’m pretty tough. Why do you ask?”

Scootaloo grimaced “Let me have a look at them, I may know who it owns them.”

Sunset nodded “If you can find who has it out for me that would great, I don’t want have to look over my shoulder every day.”

Scootaloo grimaced as she looked over each individual marble, she eyes narrowed as she saw a stripe of orange, white and yellow. She began shake fury filling her veins “I know who this belongs to, these were the marbles I gave Apple Bloom on her birthday! She would never let anyone touch them!”

Applejack turned to Scootaloo horrified “You don’t mean…” she then looked down morosely “Ah can’t lie to mahself, mah sister did this.” She turns to everyone “What should Ah do?”

Rarity placed a hand on Applejack’s shoulder “You need to talk to her at home and in private. Whenever Sweetie Belle struggles with something we sit down and talk it out, I will need to speak to her about this as well. We haven’t talked in a while.”

The rest of the day was relatively calm, on the way back home Rarity frowned as she looked at her sister “Sweetie Belle. How has school been?”

Sweetie Belle looked down “Why do you care, you spend more time with your friends than you do with me? I miss the days we spent together.”

Rarity sighed “I’m sorry Sweetie Belle, it’s just there has been years since we talked. There is a lot two work through and with new friends being added to our group it means we need a lot of time.” She then smiled “How about this weekend be just us and when I do go out with the girls I’ll try to bring you along if possible.”

Sweetie Belle smiled weakly “I would like that but Apple Bloom would get angry at me. She despises Sunset and Cozy Glow with a passion, I’m worried she will hate me.”

Rarity looked at her “If someone is trying to keep you away from other people because of a petty grudge then they aren’t a very good friend. This is something that you need to think about for yourself.”

Meanwhile Applejack and Apple Bloom had returned home, Applejack frowned at her sister as he pulled out a bag of marbles “Apple Bloom, we both know what these are. Ah would like for you to explain why you tried to hurt Sunset in the hallway.”

Apple Bloom growled “Ah don’t get how you forgive her and don’t tell me it’s because of Princess Twilight either. You knew her for what, a day or two! Are you going to be so easily manipulated!”

Applejack’s eyes narrowed “Apple Bloom, everyone deserves a second chance. To let rage and anger consume you, Ah was lost my friends for years because of that. This is a dangerous road to walk, Ah'm begging you don’t go down that path.”

Apple Bloom scowled “So be it!” Applejack watched as her sister stormed upstairs filled with fury.
