CMC, The Prank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a slightly lit night and the cutie mark crusaders were over at the Apple's house on a sleep over, except this time they wouldn't go off into the ever free forest after a chicken. The crusaders were jumping around Apple Bloom's room, messing up the bed, drawers went flying, and in a second the room's door flung open . The three fillies stopped and looked at a tired, half asleep,orange mare standing in the hallway.
"for the love 'a Celestia what is going on 'n here, can't a pony get some sleep 'round here" said Apple Jack in an angry voice. The three ponies laid on their stomachs and looked at Apple Jack with watery eyes. Sweetie Belle being the most sensible of the group already had tears rolling down her cheeks. At the look of the three frightened fillies Apple Jack closed her eyes, sighed, and spoke in a soft calm voice.
"look girls....I'm mighty sorry but 'a need my sleep because of all the work 'a do during the day, I'd like ta relax for a few hours....is that too much to ask for" asked Apple Jack, the three fillies looked at the frowning, tired, half asleep pony on the hallway. Apple Jack could barely stay awake and her head was getting heavier by the second. As the fillies exchanged sad/worried looks they finally spoke to Apple Jack.
"I'm 'a sorry big sis we didn't mean ta wake y'all up in the middle 'a the night" said Apple Bloom.
"yeah, were really sorry" said Scootaloo looking at the ground in an attempt to hide her tears from every pony.
"well...w-will you..forgive us big sis" asked Apple Bloom holding out her hoof hoping for Apple Jack to accept her apology. Apple Jack looked at her hoof than at Apple Bloom's sad face. She slowly stretched her hoof toward Apple Bloom's but when she was about to touch it she quickly yanked her and gave her little sister a big hug.
" 'a course 'a forgive ya....but seriously go to sleep I'd really like to get some sleep 't night" said Apple Jack going back to her room.
"what are we supposed to do now. If we wake your sister again she's gonna be furious"said Scootaloo with a worried look on her face.
"woo woo, I know what we can do"said Sweetie Belle raising her hoof like if shew as going to answer a question in school.
"really, well what is it, go on spit it out"s aid Apple Bloom excitedly.
"maybe, we could get our cutie marks in stealth. You know like those spy ponies" said Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom looked at each other and then at Sweetie Belle.
"and just how in equestria re we supposed ta do that" asked Apple Bloom
"well...we can...we'll go to...i can't come up with ideas all the time" said sweetie. Scootaloo looked around the room, drawers, bed sheets, then at a picture of Rarity in a classy, puffy, pink dress. After a lot of thinking it finally hit her.
"how about we dress your big sister in one of Rarity's dresses"suggested Scootaloo poking Apple Bloom in the chest.
"what!, are you nuts you saw my sister when we woke her up. And now you want to play a prank on her" yelled Apple Bloom.
"oh come on, you make it sound so awful and hard" said Scootaloo.
"I'm up for it, I mean I do have the key to my sister boutique" said Sweetie Belle.
"me too, how about it Apple Bloom you up for it" asked Scootaloo.
"ah....fine" said Apple Bloom.
"alright then, sweetie belle take the key to my scooter. You know, to get there and back faster" said Scootaloo, she trotted over to her saddle bag in the corner than took out a black key. She looked at the key then gave it to Sweetie Belle, "if there's so much as one scratch so help me Sweetie Belle" said Scootaloo with a serious look on her face.
"not one scratch, I promise" said Sweetie Belle taking the key and jumping out the window.
"Sweetie, are you alright" yelled Apple Bloom.
"you better not have landed on my scooter" yelled Scootaloo.
"ow...I'm okay...I'll be back in a few minutes" yelled Sweetie Belle riding off into ponyville, Sweetie had a hard time riding on the dirt road but got better when she reached the smooth roads of ponyville. she reached the carousel boutique and popped the key on the lock and went inside making sure not to make too much noise. she quietly tiptoed up the stairs and slowly opened her sisters room door and peeked inside for a look around making sure it was safe to come inside. her sister was sleeping in a large bed with a pink puffy blanket. Sweetie looked for one of her dresses and finally spotted the closet. she tiptoed over only to find that the closet was locked, she thought about where the key might be then she spotted a small string around rarity's neck. she wondered if the string could be holding the key and after a few minutes she slowly trotted over to the sleeping mare and slid the cover away from her neck. she was right, the key was on the string but Sweetie Belle questioned the possibility of taking the key without waking up up her sister. She looked at the string and found a little knot on one side and tried to untie it but it was useless. She thought about a way to untie it then she got the idea to use an untying spell she had been practicing on her magic class and actually managed to do it correctly and got the key. Sweetie Belle wiped off sweat from her forehead and then opened the closet doors.
There must have been at least forty dresses in there, but finally found a cute, pink, puffy dress and slowly put it in her saddle bag,"alright now I can finally go back to the house" said Sweetie Belle to herself. She left the carousel boutique and got on the scooter.
"where is she, I thought she'd be back by now" said Apple Bloom with a worried face. It was only hours away from the sun rise and the two fillies were worried that they might not be able to pull the prank and get their cutie marks.
"hay I'm back, and I...brought the dress"said Sweetie Belle climbing up the window and taking out the dress.
"great, now fallow me and be quiet"said Scootaloo grabbing one end of the dress and opening the door stepping into the hallway. the three friends slowly stepped into Apple Jack's room and found a sleeping mare in a little bed with a brown blanket. The three fillies then slipped away the covers and slid the dress on being very careful not to wake her up. The three fillies tried not to giggle when they were done and trotted back to Apple Bloom's room.
"oh, we are so getting our....cutie marks....now" said Scootaloo slowly falling asleep. after a few minutes all three fillies fell asleep without a care in the world. The next morning Apple Jack woke up and walked outside for a stretch.
"ah, well ain't that pleasant, Rainbow Dash must be making her morning run. Hay Rainbow" yelled Apple Jack. Rainbow flew over to say hello but instead landed and exploded in laughter.
"what the hay Rainbow Dash why ya laughing at me" asked Apple Jack. Rainbow took a mirror from her saddle bag for Apple Jack. She took a look and saw that she was wearing one of the most embarrassing dress she ever laid eyes upon. She was furious and quickly ran towards the room the girls were sleeping in. As she slammed the door open the three fillies that were comfortably sleeping on the floor jumped in the air in shock.
"you little troublesome kids did you do this" yelled Apple Jack. The three fillies were as scared as possible and were about to cry,"do you think this is funny, well do ya, I never, ever want to see your faces again!!!" yelled Apple Jack. The three fillies already had tears rolling down their cheeks.
"bu...but Apple Jack" said Apple Bloom. she was cut off as Apple Jack smacked her head in rage.
"don't you but Apple Jack me. You've gone too far. For all I care you're not my sister anymore" said Apple Jack. Those five words shattered Apple Blooms heart and with that she exploded into tears. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo trotted over to apple jack and tried to convince her that it was all there fault.
"honest Apple Jack we did all this not Apple Bloom"
"yeah please forgive her please. We were just trying to get our cutie marks" said Sweetie Belle. After a while of begging Apple Jack finally looked back and saw her little sister crying. Apple Jack knew that they were only trying to get their cutie marks and fell bad about making her little sister cry. Slowly, Apple Jack trotted over to the crying pony and put her hoof on the filly's back.
"look...I didn't mean any of that....I was juts mad. Please stop crying" begged Apple Jack. The little filly stopped crying and looked up to Apple Jack's face.
"do....do you...mean that" asked Apple Bloom with a sad face.
" of course 'a do, now come on dry those tears" said Apple Jack wiping off Apple Bloom's tears.
"well, this was a touching moment but Rainbow had his morning routine and I gotta be there when she begins" said Scootaloo.
"hey, how about we go to Twilight's house. Come on"yelled Sweetie Belle pushing Apple Jack and Apple Bloom out the house. Scootaloo wondered why Sweetie hesitated so much but, then she gave up. And as she got close to her scooter she saw that it was in pieces, it was missing a wheel, breaks were broken, and the platform was all smashed. Scootaloo's face was red out of all the rage she was feeling.
"SWEETIE BELLE!!!!" yelled Scootaloo as she ran after her. Sweetie then looked back and saw the angry Pegasus running toward her so she did the only thing she could think of doing....she ran away.
The End
