The Amazing Superfilly

Apple Bloom grunted as she pulled her two friends out of the mud pit by their tails. The three of them were covered in dirt, not a single spot of cleanness on them. As she finally managed to pull them, she dropped besides them, exhausted. The sun was setting over the horizon, giving the entire land a gorgeous orange hue. Fitting, considering it was autumn. What was left of their improvised fortress slowly sinking away. So much for Cutie Mark Crusaders Evil Lair Builders.

Or CMCELB for short.

"Okay..this was a stupid idea..." Scootaloo said.

"It was your idea." Sweetie Belle commented while vainly trying to shake some of the mud off. Not even her mane had been spared the onslaught of dirt. A a few drops managed to fall, though it did little change to the overall picture. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom hadn't exactly fared much better. Scootaloo was pretty much a walking sludge of dirt while Apple Bloom was a little cleaner than both, but only because she had been moving. All in all, a long bath was in the near future.

"Ah' think we should call it a day girls...we're a mess and it's gettin' late." Apple said while shaking her head, cleaning the mud off from the bow. Scootaloo stared at her for a few seconds, as if an idea was slowly forming in her head.

"Ah' mean it Scoots..." she added. Scootaloo fumed for a while, but eventually agreed that she was tired too. Soon enough, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle went to their houses. Lucky for Apple Bloom, they had decided to try the CMCELB plan near Sweet Apple Acres. It was starting to get dark too. Apple Bloom knew she wasn't in any danger, but she also knew that she had a time to get home and she was almost late, which meant she was risking an earful from Granny Smith.

"Guess I'm not getting any pie later..." she lamented. She was starting to get hungry after all the crusading, and all of Ponyville knew that Granny's pie was the best in town.

As she walked through the path to her home, apple trees began to appear. Their shadow usually gave a nice refreshment from the onslaught of the sun, but now that it was autumn and she was covered in mud, all it did was send shivers across her entire body. As she walked, most of the mud began to dry and fall off, a fact she was grateful for. A slow crunch was heard loudly through the trees, freezing the fill in place. Turning to one side, all thoughts of getting home and avoiding punishment were forgotten. A soft, yellow glow could be seen between the trees. And Apple Bloom, did what any healthy curious child would do.

"Wonder what that is?" was all that was in her head as she walked through the woods. She had even forgotten about ehr hunger. After a few minutes walking, she arrived at a small hole on the ground. It wasn't a deep hole, nor  large hole. It was just a hole.

With a golden apple shinning in the middle.

That caught Apple Blooms attention. Jumping inside, she warily approached the the apple until she realized something. This was an apple. And apples never hurt ponies. All in all, it was a pretty normal apple. Except for the color that is. Picking the apple between her hooves, Apple Bloom examined it a little bit closer. It was a little heavy for an apple, but nothing special.

"A golden apple...lying in the middle of the trees." she muttered. As if to remind her, her stomach grumbled loudly. The walk and curiosity had taken distracted her from the hunger, but now that she was still and the excitement had ended, the grumbles came with a vengeance. She started arguing with herself about what to do. She could satisfy her stomach by eating a strange but visually juicy apple...or she could take it back home to Applejack.

The apple looked so juicy.

Her family would like to know about the apple.

She was hungry.

Something like this had to be told to Big Macintosh.

She really was hungry.

With a sigh, Apple Bloom grabbed the apple with her mouth and started trotting to the house, deciding that telling her family was best. It was dark by the time she got there and not even a single light could be seen inside the house. This fed some hope inside her heart. Maybe everypony had gone to bed already. She could walk in and say she slipped in later. The door creaked as it opened. Apple Bloom peeked for a few seconds before entering, walking on the tip of hoofs. Not a sound could be heard. Not even her sister's usually loud snoring. The fact that the entire house was deadly silent didn't cross her mind. Climbing the stairs, she entered her room. She approached the table, wanting to-

"Ye'r late."

The lights went on, scaring Apple Bloom into bitting a big chunk of the apple and forcing her to swallow it, nearly choking herself in the process. The bitten fruit landed on the floor with thump. But that went ignored by Apple Bloom, who was staring at a visibly angry Granny Smith, who was sitting on a small stool.

"Young lady, ye' were given a curfew. What were yah' doing that took you so long?" The elder mare asked.

"But Granny ah-"

"No buts. You're siblings are still out looking for yah!"

"But Granny Smith! Ah found a golden apple so Ah' thought Ah' should bring it home so Ah did and just look it's right there!" She pointing a hoof at the apple.

Only there was no apple. It had dissappeared, as if it was never there. If Granny Smith was upset, now she was honestly mad.

"Little filly, Ah' am not old enough to be lied to like that, specially by ma'h family."

"But ah-" Apple Bloom tried.

"No buts. Ye'r grounded little filly. Tomorrow you are to stay home and help around the house, no crusading." Granny Smith said as she walked out of the room, turning of the lights.

"And you better apologize your brother and sister tomorrow, they've been worried sick!"

And with that, Apple Bloom was left alone. She sniffed. All she wanted to show them something. Why did this happen? If Granny would have let her speak maybe she wouldn't have gotten grounded and go crusading tomorrow. Stupid CMCELB plan that took her time, stupid trees that got her attention. Stupid golden apple that delayed her. If she hadn't gone looking for it, this wouldn't have happened.

"Stupid apple..." she murmured as a single tear slid down her face.

As the first rays of sun started covering the land, Apple Bloom woke up. She could hear the cock-a-doodle-do of the farm rooster as if it was in the room next to her. She took a deep breath. She would have to face Applejack and Big Mac now. And that would suck. She was punished, so that meant no crusading at least till after lunch. That would suck too. She was crusading yesterday all day, which meant she would have to day a days work all sore and tired. And that would really suck. Not wanting to delay the inevitable any longer, she jumped out of bed, nearly cringing with the pain all of her joints screamed.

Only there was no pain. In fact, she felt amazing! Energy was almost bursting out of her!

After a short bath and placing her typical pink bow, Apple Bloom ran down the stairs, only to be face with three scowling faces. The whole getting home late problem floated back to her head.

"Eh...good morning everypony?" she asked shyly.

"Morning Apple Bloom. Did yah rest well?" Applejack, her stern voice dropping a little.

"Of course! Ah mean...yeah, Ah did."

"Good, cuz Granny here told all about your talk yesterday. Ah figured you've had enough stern talking for now." she explained as the little filly took a seat at the table.

"Does this mean Ah' can go crusading today?" Apple Bloom asked hopefully.  Applejack chuckled at the response.

"Ah'm afraid not. You still messed up yesterday, now you make up for it. That's why you're gonna help Big Mac around the farm today."

"All day?!"

"Just help him around. Once he's done, you're free to go." Applejack said.

And with that, both siblings finished their breakfast quickly, eager to get the task done. Entering the barn, both of them sighed at the mess it was. It always happened. After each bucking season, they would just throw everything in, not really caring to organize it since they used every day, but now that the season was over, the entire place was an even bigger mess, a mess that could not stay for the winter. Usually, Applejack and Big Macintosh would take turns, since it was their fault mostly, but since he had assistant this time, Big Mac decided to take the job this time.

"Well, what do ah' do?" Apple Bloom asked, wanting to get this as quickly as possible.

"Some of the tools are missing, along with a couple of baskets. Find those while Ah' pull the carts in." Big Mac instructed.

Remembering that she had borrowed a few of the tools, Apple Bloom dashed to the clubhouse, the trees zoomed right besides her at an incredible speed. After a couple of minutes, Apple Bloom skidded to a halt, right at the entrance to the clubhouse. She was panting slightly, not out of soreness, but shock. She had run the entire distance in a coupe of minutes. Applejack, the most athletic earth pony in all of Ponyville, could barely do it in a good day, and she had done it a couple of minutes.

"Wow...ah'm fast." she whispered.

The tools came back to her mind. As expected, the tool box was inside the clubhouse. Seeing it brought back memories of the yesterday, including Granny Smith angry at her. She didn't like it. The box just laid there, mocking her. Turning around, she gave it a solid, frustrated buck, sending the poor tool box crashing through the wall and slamming into a tree. One side of the box was heavily bended. Apple Bloom could only stare, her mind barely registering the fact that be bucked a metal box right through a wooden wall. It was a thin wooden wall alright, but very solid anyways.

"Wha..." was she manage to say.

After bringing the mangled box to Big Mac, Apple Bloom went on to find the baskets. Thankfully, Big Mac had dismissed the damage as season stuff put the box away, saving Apple Bloom from trying to explain, only to be assumed as a lie. Finding the baskets would be easy as pie. Applejack always dropped them in the same place right outside the entrance to the plot. But her mind wasn't focused on getting the baskets back. Her mind was filled with to the brim with the fact that somehow, her body was capable or incredible feats!

"That apple! Ah' knew something weird was going on with it! It must have given me this powers, but how?"

Wanting to test it out, she broke into a run, and soon enough, she found herself right at the entrance to the farm, right where the baskets where. A trail of dust was slowly fading behind her. So speed was no problem she could easily run as fast as Applejack without pushing herself. Turning her attention at the mount of baskets, she smirked. In a single minute, she had managed to pile the all five of the baskets in one tall pillar. Placing herself behind the bottom, she started pushing. The entire pile started moving easily. Wanting to push herself, apple placed her snout at the very bottom, touching the ground. With a small flip, the placed the pile on her back. It was as heavy as her school bag.

As fast as Applejack and as strong as Big Macintosh. All of it without breaking a sweat!

Big Macintosh slowly pulled on of the carts inside, loaded with hay and farming tools. No sign of Apple Bloom. He sighed. If that filly had run off she would be in deep-

"Ah'm finished."

Turning around, his eyes widened in surprise. There she was. A smiling Apple Bloom with all five of the baskets behinds her, neatly stacked in two piles. He didn't know if to believe it or not. This was supposed to take her nearly an hour. She had done it in barely ten minutes.

"Got anything more?" she asked. If he wasn't mistaken, he could swear he saw anticipation on her eyes.

"Eh...nnnope?"

"So I can go now? She asked.

"Eeeeeyup?"

"Great! Bye Big Mac!

And with that, Apple Bloom left, leaving poor Big Macintosh confused from top to bottom.

Apple Bloom ran through the streets, the morning sun visible just over the horizon. Few ponies where on the streets, so she didn't really had to worry about crashing into anypony. The market would be closed for a couple more hours and Applejack wouldn't arrive until she had finished up preparing the apple cart, giving her plenty of time to explore. It was saturday, so school was out and it was too early for Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to be up yet. But she knew how to entertain herself for now. In few minutes of running, she had arrived at the other edge of the town, at the entrance to the fields. Big, empty and with the occasional rock and tree.

"Now then...let's see how fast can really go" she grinned as she took a starting position.

A few hours later, a tired Sweetie Belle slowly woke up. Giving a long yawn, she slowly made her way downstairs, where sister was finishing her breakfast.

"Morning Rarity..." she sleepily said.

"Good Morning Sweetie Belle. How was your sleep?" Rarity asked with a smile. Sweetie Belle didn't respond, instead deciding to sit a the table, mumbling and barely registering the fact that it was day. Rarity's heart flipped a little at how adorable the scene was. With a bit bit of magic, she poured some cereal and milk into bowl. Sweetie Belle always like those choco-flakes that Sugarcube Corner solded. After making sure that Sweetie Belle wouldn't make mess, she stood up to start cleaning.

"Apple Bloom was here earlier. She seemed really excited about something." She commented.

"Mmm-hmm..."

"I told her you were sleeping. She said she would come back later to pick you up."

"Good..." Sweetie mumbled, still half asleep.

"She should be here right about-"

"Hi Apple Bloom!" Apple Bloom said through the window. Sweetie Belle didn't even blink as she stared at her friend.

"Meet me at the clubhouse, and hurry!" Apple Bloom cheered as she left. Sweetie Belle didn't even blink as she stared at the space where her friend used to be. Rarity chuckled. Sweetie Belle had never been a morning pony.

A short while later, Sweetie Belle walked through the trees of Sweet Apple Acres. She had always liked the place. Green, beautiful. Soon enough, she arrived at the clubhouse. Inside was Scootaloo, youngest daredevil in history, removing her helmet. She had arrived just a few seconds earlier. But there was no sign of Apple Bloom.

"Where is Apple Bloom?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't know. I thought she would be here with you. At least, thats what she told me." Sweetie Belle answered.

"Ah'm here!"

Both crusaders looked around the clubhouse, but her friend was nowhere to be found. As if on cue, bump was heard from the roof. The girls quickly ran outside. Looking up, they saw the room of the clubhouse, some branches, leaves, a couple of eaten apples and Apple Bloom munching on the third apple, comfortably sitting on the room.

"Apple Bloom what are you doing! Get out of there!" Sweetie Belle yelled. Scootaloo was no different, trying to help her friend avoid getting a broken neck. One of the eaten apples rolled off the roof, falling into the ground. Apple Bloom would follow the same fate of she wasn't careful. After finished the apple, Apple Bloom stood up perfectly without a care in the world, making of her friends pale with worry.

"Apple Bloom be careful!" Scootaloo shouted.

Apple Bloom smirked and jumped of the roof, giving a small flip in the air and falling right in front of her friends, not a sign of pain or strain on her, leaving both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle with their mouths open.

"How's that uh?" she asked.

"H-how did you-" Sweetie

"Magic apple." she answered. Silence reigned for a few seconds.

"What?" Scoots added.

"Let's go inside and ah'll tell everything."

Once inside, Apple Bloom spared no details on how she found the golden apple, where she found it and what happened. She also made sure to tell them about her experiments on the field, testing how powerful she really was.

"So you got superpowers? Cool!" Scootaloo chirped, her wings buzzing in excitement.

"Ah' know right? Wonder what else Ah' can do!" Apple Bloom added.

"Can you fly or shot things with your eyes?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Or maybe climb the walls or something?"

"Ah' don't think so..." AppleBloom answered. Putting one hoof on a wall, she jumped towards it, placing all four hooves firmly on the wall. She entire floor rattle a little as she fell.

"Guess not." she snarked. After a few seconds, Sweetie Belle giggled a little, followed by Scootaloo, and soon all three of them were laughing.

"So...what now?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Now that was a question. She had incredible, amazing skills, was faster than the fastest pony and stronger than the strongest stallion. And she had no idea what do with all that power.

"Why not some super crusading?" Scootaloo suggested.

"What do yah mean?" she asked.

"Well. think about it! Now you've got all this superpowers, we can try some really cool stuff!"

"Like?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Like...like...like building! Or mountain climbing!"

"We tried those." Apple Bloom said, cringing at the memory of the CMCELB plan. "And besides, what difference is it gonna make trying them again, even with superpowers."

"How about house fixing?" Sweetie Belle added.

"Ah thought Ah said-"

"No wait, she's right! Not exactly building and we can still use your powers! What do you say AB? Feeling up to it?" Scoots tempted. Apple Bloom doubted for a few seconds. She could use something to do, and this was also a perfect chance to explore how strong she was.

"All'right, let's do it." She accepted.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS HOUSE FIXERS YAAAAAY!"
