"Hear ye, hear ye, Crusaders," Said Apple Bloom, sitting behind the table that the CMC's used for meetings.

"Since when do you say that?" Asked Scootaloo, looking up at Apple Bloom "And what does that even mean?"

"Obviously it means sit down and be quite or ELSE." Sweetie Belle answered, looking at Scootaloo like it was the most obvious thing ever.

"Uh, no Sweetie Belle, it actually means listen ta me." Apple Bloom corrected.

"Oh, umm ya, that does make more sense." Sweetie belle admitted, slightly embarrassed.

Scootaloo stood up "And that's why." Scootaloo perked up "Apple Bloom is the nerd in our group." She pointed at Apple Bloom who asked, frowning. "Well how d’ya reckon Ah’m the nerd after that?” Sweetie Belle was the one who answered. "I don’t know, maybe it’s because” She paused as she stood up, levitated a paper and pencil, started making a list and started talking while checking it of. "You’ve also got top grades for math, science, geography, and you've even got top grades for MAGIC and your not even a unicorn!"

Apple Bloom smiled but soon went to her normal look again and continued where she left of before she was interrupted by Scootaloo. "Anyways, what Ah wanted ta say was there's a new colt comin ta school on Monday."

"Ya so? WAIT!" Scootaloo looked the look of understanding then still looking at Apple Bloom she smiled "I see what this is about."

"What ya mean?" Said Apple Bloom completely confused.

"You need help because." Scootaloo then changed to a sing-song voice."Your in looooove with him.". Apple Bloom sat there feeling very annoyed and said “Why d’ya think that? Ah haven’t even met ‘im!” Scootaloo thought about that but then Sweetie Belle said “Then how come you know he’s coming and me and Scoots don’t?” Apple Bloom turned to Sweetie Belle.

“Seriously, You’re on her side?”

“No! But I still wanna know!” Sweetie Belle said, indigenously.

“Ya, Apple Bloom, Sweets is right. How did you know but not us?” Scootaloo said raising her eyes suspiciously.

“Well fine! If ya must know, I heard his mom tell ‘Im!” She said annoyed that Scootaloo had gained an ally.

Scootaloo smiled smugly. "sounds to me like you were spying on hiiiiiiiim." She said in a sing-song voice. Sweetie Belle raised her eyes suspiciously and said. "Ya! It does sound like you were spying on him!

Ya and it sounds like your' on Scoots side Sweetie Apple Bloom thought, getting even more annoyed by the second. "Well," She said, her voice raising, not trying to sound calm or patient. "Mabye ah was just passin by and heard 'em talkin! Ah mean they weren't really try'in to keep a secret or anything!"

Scootaloo stared at Apple Blooms angry face and said. "Yeesh! I was just teasing!" Apple Bloom gave Scootaloo a terrifying look. Much like the one twilight gave them when the CMC's accidently exploded her library when messing with some spells Sweetie Belle found. This was of course before they got their cutie marks.

knock knock "Huh. No answer. oh well lets try another time." Said Sweetie Belle walking away from Twilight's castle with Apple Bloom by her side. Apple Bloom looked back and said "Come on Scoot! Lets g-" Then she saw what Scootaloo was doing. Breaking down the castles door! Sweetie Belle looked back and mimicked Apple Blooms shocked face. "SCOOTS, DON'T!" They yelled together but by then the damage was done. The two ran to Scootaloo. "What the HAY!" Apple Bloom yelled, still shocked. "Relax." Said Scootaloo calmly. "Now we have free access to Twilights books. We're sure to get our cutie marks now!"

But then Sweetie Belle brought up something Scootaloo didn't think about. "WELL! How in the world are we gonna fix the door! I mean it's not like Twilights not gonna notice!" Scootaloo thought for a few seconds but it was Apple Bloom who had the idea. "Well, how about we go through her library until we find something that'll help us fix the door. Like a spell." "YA!" Exclaimed Scootaloo. "And while we do that we might get our cutie marks!" They all put their hooves in and cheered. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS, YAY!"

The three of them walked into the castle straight to the library (which was very close to the entrance). When the three of them saw the amount of books in the library their happy faces turned into devastated looks. They all let out a groan. This was going to be much harder then they thought.

"UGH. I guess we better look for the book." Said Scootaloo drearily.

later

"Ah found it!" Screamed Apple Bloom. She brought the book down to show her friends.

The title read: Spells to Fix/Repair/Build and ect

Sweetie Belle took the book and started flipping the pages, muttering things like nope, thats not it, what! why is that a thing?

"Here it is!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed cheerfully. Her cheerfull face turned to a frown. "Hmm. Seems a bit hard but I think I can do it." Scootaloo stood up and said while beckoning her friends out. "Well hurry then lets go!" She started out until Apple Bloom stopped her and said. "Wait! Shouldn't we test it first?" "Oh yeah. We should do that, I mean, we don't wanna accidently destroy her door even more!" Sweetie Belle said. Scootaloo thought about that. "Good idea! Try it ooooon." She looked around and grabbed a chair and broke it. "This!"

Sweetie Belle put the book down and started reading the spell under her breath. Her horn started too glow green. The chair was also glowing green until. "achooo" And Sweetie Belle lost concentration and the chair blew up the whole library! And if that wasn't bad enough, Twilight came in right then to see her precious library blown up!

"Any ways, as ah was sayin. What if we try ta be his first friends ta impress Twilight. Then mabye she'll let us join the school of friendship!" Apple Blooms voice was some what calmer but not completely. "Ooh! Good idea!" Said Sweetie Belle, clapping her hooves "Maybe we should get him a gift. Then he'll wanna be our friend for sure!" She suggested. "Uh, but isn't that just bribery?" Apple Bloom asked uncertain if this was a good idea. Sweetie Belle was going to answer when Scootaloo said. "Of course it isn't. I mean we're still actually gonna befriend him. He just needs to be lured in."

Apple Bloom still had an uneasy feeling about this. She looked outside. Celestia's sun was starting to set. "Well ah'm gonna home bye you to."

"Yeah, me to" Said Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo put on her helmet and grabbed her scooter "Me to."

The three of them started heading home while Luna raised the moon and when they got into their beds, they fell asleep, wondering.

Apple Bloom woke up the next day with a happy expression, she new exactly what to get he new foal. After she grabbed it and stuffed it into her saddlebag, she had her breakfast and quickly finished all the chores she could. (This took a while since she had extra after skipping doing them yesterday) and grabbed her green saddlebag with red apple on it for it was already noon when she finished all her chores. She was almost out of the barn when her sister, Apple Jack, caught her at the entrance.

"Where ya go'in sugar cube?" She asked.

Apple Bloom thought wisely of what to say for if she said the wrong thing, Apple Jack wouldn't let her go. So she told the truth except for the part about wanting to impress Twilight...

"Well that's alright, sugar cube, ah'll finish your chores for you this time." Apple Jack said. "It's nice of ya ta wanna get a gift for your little coltfriend."

Apple Bloom felt very annoyed. "Why does every pony think he's my coltfriend! Ah don't even know 'im!" She yelled, angrily at Apple Jack. Apple Jack looked half stern half amused. "Ah'm just teasin ya, sugar cube, now get going and don't make me take my offer back." She said.

Apple Bloom was still half mad but she she returned to her cheerful tone when she waved good-bye and ran of to the club house.

When she arrived she found that Scootaloo was already there, sitting down next to her magenta saddlebag with a yellow lightning bolt on it. She had a concentrated expression on.

"Hi Scoot" Apple Bloom said. No response. Apple Bloom put down her saddlebag and smiled mischievously. She had a plan to get back Scootaloo for teasing her yesterday.

Apple Bloom put on her best Rainbow Dash voice. "Hi'ya squirt what'ya doing?"

That did the trick. Scootaloo stood up and looked around for her hero. She saw Apple Bloom smiling mischievously. It only took a few seconds for Scootaloo to understand. When she did she turned red. Half angry half embarrassed she said. "Hey! Not funny Apple Bloom!" For Apple Bloom was giggling. "How 'bout we call it even after you teased me yesterday." She said.
"Fine!" Said Scootaloo and she returned to her thinking position again and said. "Now leave me be so I can think."

"'Bout what?" Asked Apple Bloom curiously. "Does it have somethin ta do with a gift for the new foal?"

Scootaloo opened her eyes. "Ya. I wanna give him one of my extra helmets . Problem is, I can't figure out which one he'll want." Apple Bloom raised her eyes suspiciously. "Why d'ya have two?"

"Let's just say two ponies had the same birthday gift." She stopped and pulled her two extra helmets out of her saddle bag on the floor. She looked at both of them. "UGH! I can't choose one! Their both to GOOD!" She said angrily.

"Don't worry, Scoots, ah have a gift for 'im and maybe Sweetie will. You can keep them both." Apple Bloom assured her friend.

Scootaloo took a breath of relief.

"But may ah ask ya why ya wanna keep both of 'em. Aren't they both the same? Ah mean, it's just a helmet." Apple Bloom questioned Scootaloo. Scootaloo was a little red in the face. "It's just that one is from Rainbow Dash and the other is the same one she wore when she was a filly." She said in a small voice.

Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. "Then why don't ya even wear any of 'em."

Scootaloo looked shocked that her friend even suggested that. "Obviously I don't wanna damage them!"

As Apple Bloom rolled her eyes again and muttered. "Maybe we all have some of Rarity in us" quite enough to make sure Scootaloo didn't hear her just as they herd a knocking on the door. "If you're Sweetie Belle then you can come in. Everypony else BACK OF!" Scootaloo said.

Sweetie Belle came in, without a saddlebag, levitating a cat with her magic. "Hi guys!"

"Hi Sweetie! Is that your gift ta 'im?" Asked Apple Bloom pointing to the cat.

"Ya, I decided to get him a pet cat when I was playing with Opal and thought Sweetie Belle, why don't you get him a pet cat? You have one and they are so much fun to play with when they aren't sleeping so I headed to Fluttershy's and of course she was delighted and lent me this one for free. Her name is Mittens." Sweetie Belle showed them the cat. It was a white fluffy cat with blue eyes and a little black patch on it's front left paw. "Isn't she adorable"

Scootaloo rolled her eyes at Sweetie Belle's last comment. Sweetie Belle either pretended to not notice or didn't because when she asked Apple Bloom what gift she got, her tone was as cheerful as it had been before.

"Ya'll will see. Let me get it." Apple Bloom replied, digging into her saddlebag. She took out a little toy train. Scootaloo looked at it for a few seconds and then burst out laughing. Apple Bloom frowned. Scootaloo stood up.

"I'm sorry Bloom but you can't really be thinking he'll like that. I mean a toy train." Scootaloo said. "Fine then ah'll put on a bet. If he likes my gift then you'll have to.." Apple Bloom paused to think and then smiled. "Spend a whole day with him." Scootaloo gave this a thought.Well, there really is no risk I mean only a baby would want a toy train like that! "Deal. But if I win you have to spend a whole day with him." Scootaloo responded.

The two shook hooves while Sweetie Belle watched them, amused. "Anyways, What are you gonna get him, Scootaloo?

Scootaloo shrugged. "Maybe..." She looked into her saddlebag. She smiled and pulled out a picture of her hero. "Perfect! He'll love this."

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom rolled their eyes. "Just because you are totally to obsessed with her, doesn't mean everypony is."

Scootaloo waved her comment away. "Nah. I'm pretty sure he'll like it."

"Whatever ya say Scoot. Anyways wanna go ta my place and maybe convince AJ ta let us have a sleepover?"

"Sure, but first lets get some food." Sweetie Belle replied.

"Yeah, i'm starved I didn't even have lunch yet." Scootaloo replied, her stomach growling on cue. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo grabbed their saddlebags and put them on. As all three of them left the clubhouse, Apple bloom suggested. "How 'bout we go to Sugar cube Corner." The other two agreed.

As the three of them were walking Apple Bloom stopped all of a sudden, took of her saddlebag and started looking through it. When Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle noticed this they also stopped and looked back at their friend. "What's wrong Bloom?" Asked Sweetie Belle, still looking back at her friend who was still rummaging through her saddlebag with a concentrated look.

"Ah'm just searching for bits cause ah don't know if ah have any." She stopped rummaging and sighed. "Guess ah gotta do this the hard way." And she dumped everything out of her saddlebag. The only things that came out were the toy train from earlier, bandages, her diary, her pencil and a very sharp stick but no bits. "Oh well, hey Scoot, do ya have any bits in your saddlebag?" Apple Bloom asked.

“No, but, maybe we should ask her.” Scootaloo said pointing at a cream skinned mare with a light brown mane that was In a tie. Her emerald green eyes matching Sweetie Belle’s. The three were approaching her when she suddenly looked up and ran away.

The three of them stared at the mare as she grew smaller and smaller

“Well that was weird.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Ya and so long Sugar cube Corner.” Scootaloo said as her stomach growled. “Oh well, let's just eat at your place Bloom."
Scootaloo thought for a few second about what happened last time they ate at Apple Blooms and said in a slightly ashamed tone. "D'you think they'll let us?"

"Well, ah reckon they would as long as ya don't explode our kitchen Sweets or soak it Scoot." Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle turned red.

"Hehe, I guess we should of been a bit more careful." Scootaloo admitted. Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement.

Apple Bloom grinned and nodded her head. "A lot more careful."

they all laughed and headed to Sweet Apple acres for dinner as Luna raised her moon.
