The Amazing Superfilly

A week ago, Apple Bloom defeated a giant timberwolf.

A week ago, Apple Bloom officially started her career as a super heroine.

A week ago, she thought she was indestructible.

Big Mac had proved her wrong.

Her rump was sore for hours from the paddling he gave her, which probably meant that Applejack could barely walk after that. Who would have thought that Big Mac could be so strong?

"Well, he did move a house once..." she thought, the love poison incident flashing in her mind. Now that her problems with her family had been fixed, at least for the most part, she could focus on more pressing matters, like the fact that she hadn't seen neither Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo in almost a week. She wanted to get some crusading done. And she wanted it now. Specially since vacations were about to end. The running of the leaves would be in a couple of days, classes starting right after that. Saving ponies all week long had ben fun and all, but crusading with her friends was much better! Sweetie was probably still sick though, and Scootaloo would always enter fangirl mode around Dash.

Talk about an obsession.

"If they only showed up..." she murmured. She had left a message with Rarity earlier, knowing she would tell Sweetie Belle and Dash, who would tell Scootaloo. The clubhouse was cold, partially due to the cloudy skies, to the point were a slight fog appeared with each of her breaths. Winter was fast approaching. But that would not stop her heroics.

A small bag on her back carried her suit. After rather embarrassing incident at Sugarcube corner, she had decided it was better to always be ready.

"Ah' didn't knew cream could glue you to the wall..." she thought, trying to forget how she nearly brought down the wall by pulling free. She had to save the day while covered in cream to hide her identity. It took hours of scrubbing and bathing to remove every bit of it from her hair. Who knew an oven could explode like that?

"Hey Apple Bloom!"

Scootaloo entered the clubhouse, leaving her scooter in a corner and dropping her helmet besides it. She seemed tired, as if she had been running a marathon. Knowing her hyperactive mode personally, it was probably the case.

"You'll never guess what happened!" she started.

"Rainbow Dash is gonna teach you to fly." Apple Bloom deadpanned.

"Rainbow Dash is gonna teach me to fly! Isn't it awesome?!" Scootaloo cheered, ignoring the lack of surprise from her friend and rambling about her idol and how cool it would be. Apple Bloom sighed.

"Anyways, where's Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo asked, now calmer from releasing the pent up energy.

"Sick. We're going to visit her and see what's going on." Apple Bloom answered. As they climbed out of the clubhouse, Apple Bloom's ear visibly twitched. Scootaloo put on her helmet as Apple Bloom immediately took her suit out

"Hero time?" the pegasi filly asked.

"Yep"

Silence flowed between for a few seconds.

"Bet I can get to the boutique before you're done." Scootaloo challenged.

"You're on!" Apple Bloom agreed, and with that, both friends shot in different directions. Scootaloo flapped her wings as fast as she could. Racing through the town, her mind completely focused. Everything around her could be seen, heard, smelt. The birds flying on the sky. The ponies walking on the ground. Every small rock in the way. It was little surprise when she noticed a rainbow forming on the sky. She smirked and flapped her wings harder.

There was the Carousel Boutique!

She speeded once more. She had to get there. She had to beat Apple Bloom! She was almost at the door, just a little more!

"Look out!"

Scootaloo reacted instantly, jumping over the blur that was Apple Bloom, giving a small flip in the air. Lading safely back on the ground, she cheered at her small trick, but was instantly dismayed when she saw an undisguised Apple Bloom knocking on the door.

"No fair! You almost knocked me out me out of the way!" Scootaloo complained.

"Sorry. It's a little hard to see whats in front of me when Ah' run that fast. " Apple Bloom said sheepishly.

Scootaloo's frown didn't go away.

"Tie?" Apple Bloom offered.

"Deal." Scootaloo said after a few seconds. Knocking the door, they patiently waited. A small wind was blowing, making Scootaloo shiver a little.

"You took less than I thought." Scootaloo said.

"Turns out there wasn't an emergency. I swear I heard something around here. But nothing happened. I did manage to stop a wall that was crumbling though, but that wasn't it." Apple Bloom answered.

"Mysterious uh?"

"Kinda. Let's go." Apple Bloom said as she opened the door herself. Rarity never closed the door during the week. The boutique was, frankly put, a mess. Clothes and fabrics where everywhere. Drawers were empty and mannequins were on the floor. Rarity could be seen running around, trying to fix everything bit by bit. It was as if a tornado had come and gone.

"Uh...hi?" Scootalo said unsure.

"Oh! Girls! I'm sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment." Rarity as she placed back a few drawers. A couple mannequins were placed back in their usual corner.

"We came to see how Sweetie Belle!." Apple Bloom said cheerfully. Rarity didn't seem to hear as she placed the fabrics back in place.

"Is she in her room?" Scootaloo asked. Rarity carefully placed the opins and needles back in the pin cushion, not paying them any attention in the least.

"I say we just go upstairs...."

"Yeah..."

Rarity held her breath as she placed all her designs back in the closet, saving a few for further changes.

"There! All done! Now, what can I do for you girls?

Pure silence.

"Girls?"

"Apple Bloom! Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle cheered with a harsh voice from her bed. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo had to stifle a laugh at the sight. Sweetie Belle was buried in three layers of blankets, along with wearing a purple pajamas. Her mane was a mess, probably from all the time spent in bed.

"You gotta get me out of here!" she moaned harshly before givng a cough. Apple Bloom's ear twitched in slight discomfort.

"Wow...Rarity takes this as serious business..." Scootaloo said as she climbed on the bed. Sweetie Belle frowned. Apple Bloom simply jumped on it, right in front of Sweetie.

"Enough of being sick. Time for some crusading!" she said excitedly.

"I can't. Rarity has me quarantined here..." Sweetie Belle answered.

"What's quarantined?" Scootaloo asked.

"It means she's stuck here. Which is why we gotta get her out." Apple Bloom explained.

"But if Rarity catches us we'll get in trouble! At least, more than what we usually get into." Sweetie Belle said.

"And my scooter is down there with her!" Scootaloo added. Apple Bloom placed a hoof on her chin, deep in thought. She was tough alright, but not stealthy. Rarity would notice her immediately. The idea was to sneak Sweetie Belleout, meaning she was out of the question. The only choice was...

"Ah' hear something..." Apple Bloom murmured.

"Hero time again?" Scootalo asked.

"Not this time...it's coming from below..." Apple Bloom answered as her ear twitched slightly. A mumbly sound reached her. It was somewhat familiar.

"Somepony is talking downstairs with Rarity. I think... its Miss Cheerilee!" Apple Bloom said.

"How do we get the scooter now? She'll see us for sure!" Sweetie Belle asked, her hopes of leaving fading.

"No, this is perfect! Scootaloo can go and it while she and your sister talk!"

"Why me!?" Scootaloo asked.

"It's your scooter." Apple Bloom answered. Scootaloo opened her mouth to retort, but closed it right away. She was always bad at arguing with words. With a sigh, she left the room.

"Are they gonna see her?" Sweetie asked.

"Probably not. Between Miss Cheerilee and the mess...what happened anyway?"

"I don't know. I was here, drinking some medicine Rarity gave me, which tasted horrible and made me sneeze, and suddenly the whole house shook!"

"Why?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Beats me, Rarity was hugging me like the world was going to end."

Scootaloo slowly walked down the stairs. She could hear Cheerilee and Rarity talking away in the kitchen, completely focused on their own little world. Perfect. The scooter was right besides the door. Which meant she would have to walk right in front of the mares. Not so perfect. Tiphoofing her way across the boutique, she stopped just in before the kitchen.

"This is the paper for the trip in monday. Could you sign it please?"

"Of course. Anything for Sweetie Belle's education. Let me get my quill."

Scootaloo paled as she heard hoofs walk in her direction. Looking around, she immediately hid inside a dresser and climbed on a mannequin. Hoofs walked about in the room, echoing slightly with each step. She held her breath as they passed right besides the doors, only sighing when she heard Cheerilee's voice again from the kitchen.

"How is Sweetie Belle doing?"

"Oh not well. Poor thing has her throat all taken. She could barely speak at first!"

"Oh my, is she ok now?"

"Oh yes. The medicine is doing wonders for her. I think she even likes it!"

Scootaloo had enough, quickly returning to her position. With a small jump, she passed right in front of Cheerilee and Rarity, who were to busy talking to notice, landing with a soft thud right in front of the door. Grabbing her scooter, she repeated the action, this time using her wings to soften the fall.

"Did you hear something?"

"Must have been Opal. She's been acting odd lately..."

Smirking at her success, she ran back to the room, where Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle anxiously waited for her.

"Got it!"

"Awesome! You gotta have some weird ninja skills!" Apple Bloom said.

"That's it! Let's try some ninja crusading!" Sweetie Belle said. All of their faces lit up at the suggestion.

"CUTIEGOHG-" Sweetie Belle coughed badly.

"Wow, you really got it bad." Apple Bloom said, ignoring the discomfort from the sound of the cough.

"Nothing a scarf and a sweater can't fix!" Sweetie Belle said desperately as she ditched the pajamas, covering her neck with said clothes. Putting the pajamas under the blankets, she did her best make it seem like if a filly slept there. It would fool anypony who just gave a quick glance.

"Okay. Now what?"

"Hang on a second." Apple Bloom said a she opened the window as much as she could. Afterwards, she pulled her costume out, quickly putting it on.

"Now, hang on tight!" She said as she grabbed her friends. With a mighty jump, the three of them blasted out of the boutique, jumping from roof to roof. After a couple more jumps, they landed in front of the clubhouse. If Sweetie Belle's mane wasn't frazzled before, it certainly was now.

"That...was awesome!" Scootaloo cheered as she entered the clubhouse.

"I feel sick..." Sweetie Belle mumbled.

"You know, we should this more often. It's a fast way to get anywhere!" Apple Bloom said a she put the suit back in her bag.

"I'll stick with the cart..." Sweetie Belle said, her face slightly green. In a second, there was bucket in front of her, courtesy of Apple Bloom.

"Ah' guess ninja crusaders is out of the question..." Apple Bloom said. With Sweetie Belle incapacitated and out of ideas, Apple Bloom resigned herself to the reality that the would no crusading before classes began.

"While I was sneaking, Cheerilee said we're going on a school trip. Wonder where?" Scootaloo mentioned.

"Hopefully somewhere fun. Last time we went to the chalk mines..."Sweetie said, recovering from the nausea.

"Maybe to a construction site. Y'know, a big one." Apple Bloom said.

"Why would we go to a construction site?" Scootaloo asked.

"Ah' don't know. Maybe we could...hang on a second." Apple Bloom said before jumping out the window. After a few minutes of silence, she returned, covered in mud, which she promptly shock off.

"What happened?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Snips and Snails managed to glue themselves to the roof the school and broke it. We fell on the mud after I rescued them." Apple Bloom deadpanned as she cleaned the suit from any leftovers of dirt.

"How did they glue themselves to the roof?" Sweetie Belle wondered.

"How did they even get on the roof?!" Scootaloo asked.

"Beats me. They're always causing trouble. Remember the gabby gums issue? They stuck to each other with gum..." Apple Bloom said.

"Or the time when they brought an ursa minor to town. Dang they're stupid..." Scootaloo said. She didn't really like them, considering they all but worshipped the ground Trixie walked on, even after she humiliated her idol.

"I bet they're gonna do something dumb on the trip, just because they can. I wished they would learn their lessons already." Apple Bloom said.

"Anyways...how about some game while we're here?"

"Rarity will check up on me soon..." Sweetie Belle said.

"There's a new trick I've practicing. How about I show you guys?" Scootaloo proposed, receiving a general approval. Using the scooter this time at Sweetie's insistence, they arrived at the garden of the school, where Scootaloo had prepared a small ramp before hand. It was slightly colder now, but that didn't put the crusaders off their objective. Standing on the side, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle watched as their friend practiced.

"Okay, here I go..." Scootaloo said as she speeded to the ramp. Letting her concentration flow, Scootaloo jumped, giving a flip and neatly landing on the ground, cooly skidding a little.

"Awesome!"

"You rock Scoots!"

Scootaloo would have bowed to the praise of her friends. If it only had been their friends who gave it. Looking up she saw Snips and Snails. On the roof the school. With a glue bucket besides them. Again. She gave a look at Apple Bloom, who didn't seem amused at all. Hidding behind the ramp, Apple Bloom changed into Superfilly.

"Did you see that! I bet she can do it again but twice as big!" Snips said.

"What are you two doing?!"

Superfilly landed besides them, looking none too pleased.

"We were just, eh, looking for something!" Snips said.

"Yeah! We didn't climb back as soon as you left!" Snails complimented. Superfilly resisted the urge to groan at such stupidity. Not waiting for an explanation, Superfilly grabbed botch colts and jumped off the roof. Not stopping there, she jumped again and again, before finally dropping them on other side of town.

"There. Now behave please." she nearly growled before jumping away. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were patiently waiting for her.

"Ok, Ah'm here. What's next?" she asked as she took of the suit.

"Nothing's next." Scootaloo said as she connected the cart to the scooter.

"We gotta go back to the boutique before Rarity comes up." Sweetie Belle explained as she put her helmet on.

"But the tricks!" Apple Bloom complained.

"Sorry AB, but we're out of time." Scootaloo said, putting her own helmet on.

Apple Bloom could feel the irritation raising inside of her. Not at her friends, but at Snips and Snails. They always messed things up! One day, they would do something stupid and it would blow up in their faces. And they would whine and cry. Maybe then they would learn!

"Stupid colts..." she grumbled as they arrived at the boutique. Not wasting a second, Apple Bloom carried her friends back to Sweetie Belle's room. Sweetie quickly ditched the sweater and the scarf for her pajamas, sliding back into bed, just as Rarity opened the door.

"Girls! I didn't hear you come in. Why, Sweetie Belle! You look like if you had been running a mile! Is you're fever up again?" Rarity asked sweetly.

"Oh, eh, yes! It's my fever! I can feel it, eh, fevering me up!" Sweetie Bell made up.

"Oh dear, let's take care of that shall we? I'm sorry girls, but I'm going to ask you to leave please." Rarity said.

"Bye Sweetie Belle, see you on monday!" Scootaloo said."

"Yeah...monday..."Apple Bloom grumbled.

Back at her home, Apple Bloom sighed. It was useless to get worked up over it. She would just have to bear it for now. Besides, once Sweetie Belle was all healthy, they could go crusading again! This time, without a pair of dumb colts to interrupt them!
