Cutie Mark crusader kidnappers

Both Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom peered over at their pegasus friend who was sat looking bored, listening Miss Cheerilee drone on about some famous unicorn.

Both Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom gave each other knowing smirks. Thankfully the bell rang, signalling the end of class. Before the students could leave however, Miss Cheerilee shouted “Don’t forget to bring your homework assignments in for next lesson!” Causing Scootaloo to elicit a groan.

Apple Bloom whispered to Sweetie “She won’t need tah worry about handing in that assignment.”

This made Sweetie Belle snort up laughter. Scootaloo who noticed this asked “What’s so funny?”

“Oh it’s nothing, just something Miss Cheerilee said” she explained.

“Oh” Scootaloo muttered, she had felt that she was being left out all week and had even been kicked out of the clubhouse on several occasions. When she asked why, they told her that they was planning a surprise for her.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle ran out of the school house together, not giving Scootaloo a chance to meet up with them. Scootaloo felt like she was getting shut out.

When Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom arrived at the clubhouse, Sweetie asked her “Did you get the stuff?”

Apple Bloom nodded taking out a bunch of rope, tape and cloth from her saddlebags. “Did yah get the pills?”

“Yep, she should be out like a light. Its a good thing that Rarity has been having trouble sleeping.” She said holding out a small yellow tub with the words: sleeping pills, emblazoned on the side.

“Ah even found an abandoned, building where we can keep her.” Apple Bloom exclaimed in excitement.

“Perfect, we’ll have our cutie marks in no time!” Sweetie said before asking “Come and show me this building then.”

Apple Bloom led Sweetie Belle to the edge of the Everfree Forest where they saw what resembled an old storage container. “It’s very echoey, in here. What if somepony ends up hearing her?” She asked worried.

“If we keep her gagged then nopony will be able to hear her not to mention nopony comes near here anyway, it's perfect.” Apple Bloom answered.

“Lets get everything set up then,” Sweetie said.

They moved a wooden chair into the container as well as installing several hooks into the walls and cieling. They then attached several chains to the hooks. Sweetie Belle had managed to score a wooden chest where they could store their gear. The only thing that was missing now was their prisoner.

They had invited Scootaloo to the clubhouse, where she asked “Are you guys, finally going to tell me what’s going on?”

Sweetie answered gleefully “Yep, everythings going to become all clear in just a minute but first you need to try these cupcakes that we got from Sugar Cube Corner. They’re limited edition and they are to die for.”

She then handed an innocent looking cupcake that was decorated with purple icing and sprinkles . Scootaloo took a bite out of the cupcake before saying “Thanks guy, these …. Taste….. great” she said her voice growing faint and her eyes becoming heavy. She stumbled as she tried to keep herself upright before ultimately collapsing to the floor in a heap, out cold.

“How long have we got till she wakes up?” Apple Bloom asked.

“They’re really mild so about two to four hours” Sweetie explained.

“That’s perfect, enough time to get her there and to explain what’s going on” she said.

They then got to work on taping Scootaloos wings along with all four of her hooves together. Sweetie Belle then shoved a ball of cloth into her mouth before wrapping tape around her head.

After seeing her friend taped up, Sweetie couldn’t help but feel a tad bit guilty, however she knew it was all worth it in the long run.

They then stuffed Scootaloo into a large bag before heaving it onto her own wagon that she usually uses to carry them around Ponyville. They then used Scootaloo’s own scooter to tow the sack all the way to the container.

***

Once they arrived at the container, they dragged the sack into the container before pulling Scootaloo out. They released her hooves and they then positioned her onto the chair. They then tied each of her hooves to the arms and feet of the chair with rope.

They had done it, they had successfully kidnapped their friend. They both looked down at their flanks before sighing in disappointment at their blank flanks.

“Maybe they’ll come once we’ve kept her for a few days.” Sweetie suggested.

Apple Bloom was about to agree with her when they heard a groan come from their tied up friend. They watched as her eyes fluttered open and muffled groans turned to muffled grunts of panic as she realised that she couldn’t move.

Scootaloo now in full blown panic mode tried to pull at the ropes but no avail, Apple Blooms skilled rope work appeared to be too effective.

She then noticed Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle standing there. They watched her face lit up with hope and happiness at seeing them. “Mmmmph mmmph!” She shouted through the tape, gesturing with her head to the ropes.

“Ah’m sorry, Scoots but we can’t let yah go.” Apple Bloom told the pegasus sympathetically.

Her eyes began to fill with confusion as she once again let out more muffled grunts, gesturing to the ropes, this time more urgently, her face pleading with her two friends.

Sweetie Belle sighed before explaining “We’re sorry Scoots but you’re our prisoner.”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle then shouted out “CUTIE MARK CRUSADER KIDNAPPERS YAY!”

Scootaloo’s face turned to horror as tears started to roll down her face as she came to the horrible realisation that her own friends, her two best friends had done this to her.

Sweetie Belle noticed her tears and said “Don’t Cry Scootaloo.”

She then started to stroke the side of her face but Scootaloo pushed her away angrily screaming “Mmmmph Mmmph Mmph”

Sweetie Belle looked hurt by this. “Ah understand that yer angry, that we chose you but let us explain. You were the only suitable target, you had nopony to care about you so nopony will report you missing. If we don’t get our cutie marks then we might let you go but until then yer our prisoner” she explained.

Scootaloo still looked angry so Apple Bloom then told her “Ah can see that yer still angry so we’re going tah go and let yer cool of.” She told her.

They then left the container plunging the entire room in darkness. It was with a horrible realisation that Sweetie Belle was the only pony creating any light scource.
