Ballad of Serenity

boogedy boogedy BOO!

The library was in a state of disarray. Books were strewn about, some opened, some closed.

I rolled my eyes and then simply picked up a few books. "Ya know, this is an odd time to start the spring cleaning" I chuckled as i placed the books on the table. Twilight promptly teleported in front of me. I could see the panic clearly written on her face.

"did you read your letter?" I shook my head, then reached into my pocket.

I held it in my hand for a brief second before it was swiped away by the purple furred hand of the maddened Librarian.

She opened the scroll, and then looked at me for a moment. "so..... its true.... your...looking for the new element bearers"

she passed the letter to me, I began to read it. It was at that moment, I hit my head against the wall.

"For fuck sake..." she looked at my mildly agitated face. I screwed the letter up into a ball and threw it into the bin.

I pulled a pen out and a small piece of paper. quickly composing a reply, I called for Spike.

"dude, need you to send this, Pronto, I'm off to track down Scootaloo"

Twilight looked at me for a moment in confusion. "why Scootaloo?" I was at the door, so i turned and looked back over my shoulder. "who else do you think got the element of loyalty" I grinned.

I walked out of the library with a smile on my face. hopping from hoof to hoof, I began to run. I was faster than when i was human. Jumping over a few fences with ease, I spotted scootaloo on the horizon. Grinning madly, I picked up speed.

Unfortunately for me, fate has a funny way of getting me back for past discrepancies. needless to say, I tripped over a rock.

before I could stop my self from hitting the ground I landed something soft. "well, thats one way to introduce yerself" I looked up from my cushiony landing zone to be met with a freckled smile and a stetson hat. finally putting the pieces together, I scrambled to my feet. "sorry about that, least i had a soft landing this time" I chuckled as i extended a hand.

"You must be Yellow Tale, pleased to meet ya, the names applejack" she shook my hand...as well as the rest of me... Pretty sure I heard my shoulder pop. "Actually, my name is"

"Bubblegum Crisis? is that you?" I quickly bolted my head around and frowned.

there she was, standing there with a bittersweet smile, hiding malice in her eyes. "piss off, Spoon"

the grey mare adjusted her glasses for a moment, then she sighed. "still holding it against me I see, look...i'm sorry... it was"

"Diamond Tiara's idea, I know... wasn't my fault i actually felt something"

Silver Spoon lowered her head as she looked down. Acting on impulse, I lifted her chin up. "wasn't your fault either, it was just a bad idea" I'm too forgiving. "is she... still here?" I ask. Silver Spoon shakes her head.

"by the way... Scootaloo is looking for you" my ears perked up at this.

"Which way did she go, Spoon?" she pointed towards Sugarcube corner.

I ran towards the cafe in hopes that i'd find her there. seeing two colts simply looking at me in confusion. I jumped over the shorter one of the two. "sorry" I shouted as i took off again. I watched as Scootaloo left the small bakery.

I began to run faster.

Finally matching speed, I jumped onto the back of her scooter, slowly snaking my arms around her waist. "Slow down" I spoke in her ear, however... she didn't.

Instead she freaked out and somehow managed to crash in such a way that the two of us were sent flying.

luckily for her, I began to twist my body so she was safe.

unluckily for me... I landed in a rose bush.

So there we were, Scootaloo laying on top of me.

Me laying Literally on a bed of roses. I pulled a rose off the bush.

"thank god for soft landings hey Scootaloo?"

She looked up, I looked down and slowly went red in the face.

she looked down and saw the reason why.

instantly covering her cleavage, she shot me an irritated look... or tried to.

"Might as well dig the hole deeper"

She didn't move or try to get up. If she did that would only cause me more pain.

I took the rose and removed the thorns, then placed it in her hair. "there, now just stay still" I used my magic to levitate her off me and placed her on her feet "while we're here," I winced as i reached into my pocket "this came from the Princess, adressed to you" she took it out of my hand, still slightly shocked by my actions.

"Also... could you go get a doctor... and miss Roseluck... I think i owe her bush a trimming"

I mentally slapped my self for that last phrase, Scoots then broke don in laughter while she left.
