Apple Bloom had made sure to wake up two hours earlier than the rest of her family, she did so to make sure she had time to practice.

'I can't wait to show everypony what I can do!' Apple Bloom thought to her self, after the two hours of practicing she went down stairs to get a glass of water, she drank the whole bottle in less than ten seconds because of how thirsty she was.

Applejack just walked down the stairs still in her PJs when she seen Apple Bloom sitting down on a chair drenched in sweat.

"Ya alright Apple Bloom? Ya look mighty tired, and ya drenched in sweat!" Applejack told Apple Bloom.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm sweaty because ah just finished practicing my act fer the talent show." Apple Bloom replied.

Applejack smile and laughed, "You still haven't told meh what you're doing fer it yet, but ah guess practice makes perfect." Applejack said as she walked into the bathroom.

"And ah can't wait to show y'all tomorrow, ah just want it to be a surprise." Apple Bloom exclaimed.

Applejack came out of the bathroom and said, "Ah understand, whatever your doing, it's probably gonna be good, it's pretty strange the talent show is on a Sunday, but what ever floats the school boards boat, by the way it is a Saturday so you and your friends can go play for the day." Applejack said while she got ready to make breakfast.

"Thanks, Applejack, ah am gonna go upstairs for a little while until my friends wake up, call me down when breakfast is ready." Apple Bloom said as she went upstairs.

When she got to her room she was gasped when she saw medium sized box on her bed with a note on it.

Dear Apple Bloom

Here it all is, the outfit you asked for, I must say I am quite proud of my self, it did not take too long and this outfit is is absolutely stunning! You will shine on stage Apple Bloom!, no pun intended of course, feel free to try it on, check back with me to tell me how you feel!

Sincerely, Rarity.

Apple Bloom immediately opened the box and tried everything on, it was everything she hoped it would be, she was ready for this talent show.

After breakfast there was a knock heard at the door, "I'll get it!" shouted Apple Bloom, she opened the door full knowing it was going to be her friends, but she was surprised to see that it was actually Rarity at the door.

"How is it dear? do you like it? do you need me to make any changes?" Rarity questioned Apple Bloom.

"It's perfect Rarity, ah really like it, you did a great job!" Apple Bloom told the eager unicorn.

Rarity squealed like a little filly and said, "I just knew you would love it! by the way that's REAL diamond on the glove!"

"Rarity! that must have cost a fortune! ah have to find a way to pay you back!" Apple Bloom said.

Rarity looked at her and said, "Don't worry about it darling, I have plenty of spare diamonds I can use still, I've had those diamonds for years!" Rarity told the guilty feeling filly.

Apple Bloom looked at Rarity and said, " Are... Are ya sure? I mean... It's not a problem, ah can help you out at the boutique.

"Trust me darling." she crouched down to meet eye to eye, "It really is no problem, the diamonds on that glove barely put a dent in my diamond collection!" Rarity assured her.

Apple Bloom smiled, "Well, if you say so." Apple Bloom replied

"I have clients to tend to now dear, enjoy the outfit!" Rarity patted Apple Bloom on the head and then left.

When she closed the door she turned around to walk back to her room, but ended up coming face first into Applejack's chest, and falling on the floor

"So." Applejack started, "mah friend Rarity made yer outfit?" Applejack said helping Apple Bloom up.

"Yeah she did, it's really nice!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

Applejack smiled, "Yep Rarity is pretty good at making dresses and suits." Applejack finished, then there was a moment of silence, "Can ah see it?" Applejack finally said.

Apple Bloom laughed, "If ah show you will know exactly what ah am doing."

Applejack laughed as well, "Alright, I'll let ya keep ya little secret."

There was another knock at the door, Apple Bloom went to answer it again, she opened the door to this time see Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Hey y'all!" Apple Bloom said.

"Hey AB!" Sweetie Belle replied.

"Ready to crusade today?" Scootaloo asked.

Apple Bloom beamed and said, "Ya, ah got the perfect idea to start with!"

"What is it?" Sweetie Belle questioned.

"We can be garbage ponies!" Apple Bloom shouted.

Scootaloo gasped, "That's an awesome idea AB!"

Sweetie gave her a puzzled look, "How exactly do we become garbage ponies?"

Apple Bloom looked at her and said, "From what ah know they take the trash, crush it, burn it, and then it turns to dust!" Apple Bloom claimed.

With that said they went to the nearest dump, grabbed a trash bag from the pile and got to work.

"Alright, now, we jump on it!" Apple Bloom said as they began to beat the bag like a punching bag.

All three looked at the crushed trash and then realized something.

"How are we gonna burn it?" Sweetie questioned.

Apple Bloom looked at Sweetie, then Scootaloo, "They should start the fire soon, we can just throw it in when they start."

After about twenty minutes of waiting they finally started the fire, all three quickly got up and threw the trash bag in the fire, when that was done they looked at each others flanks but saw nothing, they all groaned at the same time.

After many hours of trying different things they all said their goodbyes and went home, Apple Bloom went to sleep two hours early to make sure she had a good night's sleep for the talent show tomorrow.
