Scootaloo ran breathlessly to Ponyville. She saw Sweetie Belle freaking out. "Guess what I saw, Scootaloo! Guess who!" Sweetie Belle cried. "No, that look in your eyes.." Scootaloo felt tears starting to fall from her pale orange cheeks. "It.. can't.. be.. right? You're joking me! All of this is a joke! A serious joke! And it's not creeping me out Sweetie Belle, no matter how you try--"

"BUT IT'S TRUE!" Sweetie Belle shouted. "IT WAS TRUE!"

"So, reality vs. dreams?" Scootaloo smiled.

"WHY ARE YOU SMILING? THERE'S NO NEED TO BE SMILING IN THE KIND OF MOOD THAT I AM NOW!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

"Alright, alright, chillax! Now that I know that this village is crazy unlike the other Ponyville we visited!" Scootaloo tried to go tangent.

"So you know about it?" Sweetie Belle asked, her green eyes growing larger and larger.

"I did once we came here and met RD," Scootaloo replied. She flipped her pink mane.

Slowly, small hooves patted on the ground. They were making a rhythm, getting closer to the two friends.

Then they really approached.

"Hey CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS.. WHAT'S.. UP," Applebloom smiled at the two. Rarity was hiding in the bush waiting to attack.

"Oh horseapples.." Scootaloo's jaw dropped open. "..and now you know about it." Sweetie Belle responded.

The two both took off running.

"Y'all can run, but ya can't hide!" Applebloom grinned. She turned around and faced Rarity, her new master. Then, to her surprise, Rainbow Dash came out of the bushes, with an insane smile. "GREAT JOB, 'Kiddo. But you won't be facing more easy challenges. Be prepared for the worst." Rainbow Dash patted Applebloom on the back. "Y'all mean ah didn't do good?" Applebloom felt a frown beginning to walk on her face.

"Well, not that, I meant, I did say that, yeah." Rainbow Dash smiled embarrassingly. "W-well, I better get going, I think--!"

Applebloom began to stomp her hooves angrily on the ground. "Bloom, don't worry, we'll get rid of her soon. But sometimes I get the feeling that she's like the others.." Rarity flipped her mane. Her dark purple mane was totally wet from the blood of Applebloom. "Say, can ya please KILL her now?" Applebloom asked, frowning once again.

"I'm not sure about that, Applebloom.. I mean.. Dash is a really good friend, but she can really be a brat sometimes." Rarity hesitated for a moment.

"I want her killed. NOW.." Applebloom gritted her teeth at Rarity. "Say that one more time and your mouth and lips will be stitched together." Rarity replied angrily.

"Fine, fine, fine."

Meanwhile..

"Scoo, do you think this is alright now?" Sweetie Belle brushed her curly mane which kept getting curlier with each stroke of her hoof. "Not yet, why take any chances?" Scootaloo responded. "After all, we're in the forest.. wait, I feel hungry!"

"Ugh, you are such a failure!" Sweetie Belle began. "Don't bring it up again.." Scootaloo frowned and smiled menacingly.

"Fine, dorkhead."

"Dorkhead?!" Scootaloo yelled as if she were in pain.

"Yes, Dorkhead." Sweetie Belle slapped her friend with a strong hoof.

"NO WAY I AM COOPERATING WITH YOU NOW!" Scootaloo finally spit out.
