CMC Adventures: The Dance

Cheerilee rang the bell to call all of the young fillies and colts into the building to begin the school day.

As the students sat down at their desks Cheerilee happily greeted the class, " Good morning everypony, before we get started this morning I have a big announcement to make, in a couple of weeks we are going the have the annual autumn flower dance! Celebrating the running of the leaves, The dance itself will take place in a couple of weeks during the autumn flower festival."

The class was excited that it was time for the festival and the dance, except three fillies who gave each other a worried look. Cheerilee spoke up after the cheering died down, "Now in honor of the dance and the festival I thought that we could learn more about the running of the leaves." The class was less enthusiastic about the learning but they were still excited about the dance. As Cheerilee continued her lesson, the students were quietly conversing with there friends, asking each other who they were going to ask to the dance, with only three actually attempting to pay attention to the lesson being given.

"Alright students it's time for lunch," announced Cheerilee to her class, all of the little ponies cheered as they all galloped to the outside of the building. Though the three fillies known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders walked out as they were talking about the dance,

"so who do you think we should ask to the dance Scootaloo?" asked the red maned filly, as all three of them made it to a picnic table outside the school.

"I don't know who we should ask there are plenty of colts and fillies we could ask, I guess..." Sweetie Belle interrupted.

" But I don't want to go with just anypony Scootaloo, I want to go with somepony that I really like," Sweetie Belle pouted as she held her head with her hooves.

"She's right Scootaloo I don't want to go with just somepony I'd like to go with somepony I really like," Applebloom looked disheartened. "Yea I would to actually..." as the three sat there Applebloom brought out three apples and gave two to her friends.

"Wait, if we all want to go with ponies we like, why don't we try and figure out who we'd like to ask to the dance" offered Scootaloo too her two best friends,

"YEA! that sounds like a great idea" happily responded Applebloom and Sweetie Belle,

"now the only question is who would we like to go with?" inquired the yellow filly.

Sweetie Belle was the first to speak up "well I'm not to sure about you two but, one colt I'd like to go with would be that colt from Trottingham, you know Pipsqueak..." both Applebloom and Scootaloo raised their eyebrows "really?" they both asked, "well, yea I think he's kind of you know cute," Sweetie Belle's white cheeks flushed with a tint a red as she finished her sentence.

"yeeeaa, well lets keep our options open, what about you Applebloom, anypony you'd like to go with,"asked Scootaloo, "well I'm not really sure I've  never really thought about it before," Applebloom took a look at the playground where all the other ponies were, and smiled at the sight of a grey pegasus who only seemed to be talking to Pipsqueak.

"But if I had to pick somepony to go with I guess I'd like to go with Rumble over there," Applebloom said pointing to the pegasus  that was talking to Pipsqueak, Applebloom had a small blush on her face as she turned to face Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle,

"well thats nice but, I hear rumble can be pretty shy around fillies Applebloom, you might have to work a little bit to ask him to the dance," explained Sweetie Belle.

"Well what about you Scootaloo who would you like to ask to the dance" Asked both Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo looked nervous  she spaced out that she would have to answer the question too, she looked at her two best friends, she had an idea of who she'd like to take but wasn't sure she wanted to tell her friends.

"Well... okay I'll tell you but you both have to promise me that you won't laugh, Okay?" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked at one another and simultaneously said "we promise that we won't laugh," with that Scootaloo let out a deep breath, "okay the pony I would really like to take to the dance is Dinky Hooves," Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looked shocked as Scootaloo continued "I don't know what it is, something about her little love of books and learning just makes her really cute to me," Sweetie Belle chimed in "awwweeee thats adorable Scootaloo," her friends statement caused her face to flush a crimson red.

Seeing her friends embarrassment Applebloom interrupted "well it looks like we have the ponies we'd like to go with, now all we have to do is figure out how to ask them to the dance." as Applebloom finished her sentence, Cheerilee rang the bell signaling the end of lunch, the three Cutie Mark Crusaders joined the other ponies as they all headed back into the building.

As Cheerilee continued where her lesson had left off, the three crusaders were paying attention when they noticed

Silver Spoon passing them a note, the three of them took turns reading the note.

I bet the three of you won't find a date in time for the dance.

D.T. & S.S.

The three of them looked over to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to see them snickering, and Diamond Tiara mouthing the words "good luck trying to get dates to the dance blank flanks, you're going to need it." The three crusaders looked at each other with determination in there eye's, silently they said "we'll show them who can get a date to dance."
