The School Election
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA little red flame was lit up, the wood on the walls was perfectly cut and polished. The chickens were fighting and clucking at each other for the food they got. There was a polished floor, and just about one or two droppings of chicken poop on the floor which made Sweetie Belle gag with the smell. The sound of a saw cutting through wood made the animals hide in their cages. Sweetie Belle watched in awe that the raw skill Applejack has, Applejack was helping Sweetie Belle make a sign and a stand to make everyone vote for her.
"Pass me a red marker please." Applejack asked, Sweetie Belle turned to her left and there was a red, blue, and purple one. Sweetie Belle didn't know which one was which cause she never heard of this word "markers" before. She stood there nervous not knowing what to do or say. Sweetie Belle chuckled sheepishly put her hoof over all the markers. "You don't know what a marker is do you?" Sweetie Belle gave in and sighed.
"Yep." Sweetie Belle admitted. Applejack chuckled and grabbed the first one a put it in front of Sweetie Belle's face,
"A marker is a thing Manehatten made for us to write with instead of pencil." Applejack explained, She then lifted up on the top of the sign and wrote in bold red words "Vote Sweetie Belle for president" Sweetie Belle pondered, she thought something was missing. She then got an idea and finished on the bottom, "You also get a free cupcake" The letters were backwards and some were crooked.
"There that makes it better." Sweetie Belle said really confident. The sign hanged on top of the wall straight, and the stand was beautifully cut. It looked like a professional just did this,
"Uh..." Applejack said nervously, "Cupcakes?" Applejack finished, she didn't look to sure of this idea, Her eyes looked at the writing and she tried to put on a fake smile like she loved the writing and idea.
Sweetie Belle was going to go to Pinkie Pie to ask if she could make cupcakes for her election. "Well let's put it in the light shall we." Applejack interrupted, they both headed outside, Sweetie Belle struggled to hold on to the sign along with Applejack. They slammed it against the ground and stepped back. Behind the sign the apples were growing in red and green starting to sprout again, the birds tweeted on the tree's and sung a song,Big Mac was still making the cider, and Granny Smith was rocking along in her old creaky chair. The dirt on her feet didn't cling to her, the sign looked remarkably in the light. The sun reflected off the sign giving it a nice glowing effect. There mouths gaped for a while, Granny Smith squinted at the sight of the sign.
"It's just perfect!" Sweetie Belle cheered. She ran to Applejack and gave her a big hug. Her warm orange skin made Sweetie Belle feel nice.
"Hey Big Mac!" Applejack called, Big Mac turned around, "You like it?''Applejack asked. Big Mac looked at it with no emotion and Applejack got nervous.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said. He then turned around and continued to make cider.
"Can you take this to Rarity's while I go to Pinkie Pie's?" Sweetie Belle asked.
Applejack smiled,
"Sure." Applejack picked up the sign and slowly carried it towards Rarity's. She stumbled once in a while but kept going.
Sweetie Belle then trotted of towards Pinkie Pie.
************************************
The weather made a drastic turn on the way there, The wind had picked up and carried to many scents in Sweetie Belle's nose she had to plug it up. She couldn't walk on her hooves or she would fall so she grabbed on a wall and kept walking. Then something bad happened,
It started to rain.
It plopped and hit Sweetie Belle's skin harshly. Every pony closed there windows and went inside. With the scents gone, Sweetie Belle unplugged her nose and started to run. The more she ran the more it hurt. Every running step she took it burned her skin.
"Why does it have to rain this hard!" Sweetie Belle argued to herself. She hoped Applejack made it to Rarity's ok and not hurt.
As she arrived at the Sugar Cube Corner, The sign was swaying furiously. It looked like it was about to come off. The pinkish color on there was still strong but the other colors were smearing off. She opened the door and walked inside. Mrs. Cake was carrying 2 boxes full of cupcakes and was sweating bullets. About twenty ponies were waiting in line arguing and annoyed, The ground hasn't been swept in forever, and there were even cupcakes on the ground.
Mrs. Cake stopped and gave a customer the boxes and smile sheepishly,
"Come again." She said while the grumpy pony walked out of the door. Mrs. Cake looked at Sweetie Belle,
"Why are you dripping wet!" Mrs. Cake yelled. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Sweetie Belle. There was a puddle on the ground were she was standing. A smell of strawberry and cherry cupcakes filled the air while Mrs. Cake dried her off.
"Thanks Mrs. Cake!" Sweetie Belle said. Mrs. Cake smiled,
"Any time dear." Mrs. Cake said. She then got up and ran towards the kitchen in a hurry. She came back with two more boxes and gave it to the pony in front of the line. The pony scolded her and stomped off. Sweetie Belle didn't want to stay for this so she went off looking for Pinkie Pie. She walked towards the backroom and opened the door, Pinkie Pie laid there drinking a juice box and not moving on the couch she was on. Her hair was deflated and she was sniffling
"Pinkie?" Sweetie Belle asked, Pinkie Pie lifted her hoof and waved it in her direction. Sweetie Belle walked over to her,
"What's wrong?" Sweetie Belle finished. Pinkie Pie was watching the ceiling.
"Well I dropped some cupcakes and now Mrs. Cake is mad with me. Pinkie said, She sat up and her hair inflated again. Wait your going to make me feel better? great! we will have the best party in the whole wide world filled with cupcakes--."
"PINKIE!" Sweetie Belle screamed interrupting Pinkie Pie's thoughts. "I just need a couple cupcakes ok?" Sweetie Belle asked, Pinkie Pie got up and went to work.
*********************************************************
After about two hours waiting Pinkie Pie came back with the cupcakes and handed it over to Sweetie Belle, She then grabbed it with her mouth and left. The rain had soaked the ground but no more was coming from the sky. Every pony was coming outside again. She walked off towards Rarity's house and opened the door. The trash has been taken out and some fabric has been picked up. Sweetie Belle walked towards her door and opened it. Her clothes were in her drawer and her bed was made. The pink dots on her bed really lit up the room cause they were glow in the dark. Sweetie Belle jumped in her bed and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She needed a long rest so she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
