One, two, three, run away with me.

"Okay so, we both know neither of my parents or rather anyone takes me seriously and it's super annoying. I'm not a filly anymore!" April stomped at the ground.

Sugar sighed, "I assume you have a plan to fix that?"

"Well now that Cozy Glow has gone missing.. I say we find her, capture her, and turn her back to stone!"

Sugar gasped, "I- no! It's too dangerous. Also, you are a filly just not a foal."

April frowned then pouted and gave her friend 'puppy eyes'. Sugar rolled her eyes, "that's not gonna work on me."

April whined, "pleeeaaaseeee".

Her friend just looked away, "ugh, fine."

"yay!"

Now it was Sugar's turn to frown, "only alicorn magic can turn a pony to stone."

"Yeah, but I'm a pegasus and you're a 'very-good-at-spells' unicorn. If we combine our strengths, I'm sure it'll work."

"I hope you're right. First we need to actually catch cozy glow and then turn her to stone."

"DUH, I'm always right. I have a plan for that too." April just smiled slyly

"You take after your mother." Sugar Pie rolled her eyes.

"Which one?"

"The orange one who never lies, can admit when she's wrong, has a country accent, strong legs, and doesn't purposefully go off on stupid adventures which will most likely get her killed." Her friend said sarcasticly

"Nahh, doesn't sound like me." April levitated in the air and didn't a few loops

"I meant Rainbow Dash."

"That, I can accept."

"uh huh. You mean being stubborn, foolish, overconfident, inconsiderate, and-"

"awesome!" April cut her off then froze when Sugar glared at her, "sorry."

"Nevermind. I'm sorry for talking bad about your parents."

"Ugh! My parents! Don't get me started on them! Honestly! They've just become old grumps now-a-days. It's an-noy-ing" She said the last word in a sing-song manor.

"Do you really think you should be insulting the ponies who saved all of Equestria from complete destruction numerous times?"

"Hey! You started it! and.." April pretended to think for a moment before simply saying, "Yes."

Then she flew off while Sugar hit her hoof to her forehead in her friends stupidity.

"Physics Smisics" April Wisp growled under her breath as she and Sugar Pie sat under a tree by an old clubhouse. This clubhouse used to belong to three girls called the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders' or CMC'S for short.

"'Smisics' isn't a word." Sugar said bluntly

"Can you like- stop being so practical?"

"Nope, you're stuck with me." Sugar giggled

"Ugh" April muttered under her breath, "why are we friends again?"

"Because you love me."

April felt herself go red, "do not!"

"do too."

"do not!"

"do too."

"do no-"

"Can you two stop bickering?" an unknown voice stopped both April and Sugar from continuing their argument.

April and Sugar turned to face.. "Cozy Glow!??" The two fillies spoke in unison.

"Uh, ye-" Suddenly the pink pegasus was trapped in a light blue bubble of magic unable to move but still able to talk and see. "Hey!" She whined.

"This could be our chance!" April jumped up and started squealing happily.

"Ugh. Quit it with your parents for once. This is serious. We should just turn her in for Twilight and they'll deal with it."

"Excuse me?" Cozy interjected only to be ignored.

"Quit it with my parents!? Are you crazy! They'll never respect me unless I do this!" April spat at her friend.

"uh, hi-" Cozy started again.

"They only 'baby you' because Cozy is around and you're quite the troublemaker." Sugar pointed out unmoved by April's anger.

"I want-" Cozy Glow was cut off again.

"No! They won't! They don't care about how I feel, they probably just do it for their reputa-" tears started forming in April Wisps eyes.

"LET ME SPEAK AND STOP BICKERING!" Cozy shouted angrily drawing the attention of both fillies. When they both finally shut up and we're paying attention, the pegasus took a deep breath. "I want you two to help me at reformation. I want to change and be better, I want to help. I just- I never had anyone for me and I've been able to think a lot in my stone prison causing me to realize that I just want friends."

April gasped then seemed to think for a moment, "I don't trust you. You have a past." Cozy looked down in defeat, "but.. I'm willing to give you a chance. As long as you allow Sugar to put a spell on you rendering your wings useless and a tracking spell so we know where you are at all times.."

Sugar nodded, "I know this seems sudden, honest but, I know the tales of Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and many others so I have to agree with dear April."

Cozy widened her eyes in shock, "Wait really!? You'll get in trouble though.. And no one will believe me."

Suddenly the bubble around Cozy disappeared leaving her free to move again. Sugar put her hoof on Cozy and smiled, "I believe you."

April walked over and nodded in agreement. "Just stay still so we can cast the spells."

Cozy Glow nodded, shut her eyes tight and waited for magic to engulf her. Sugar's horn lit light blue as she readied her magic. She cast the spells quickly then smiled when they were complete.

———————————————————

April Wisp shot to the sky, looking around to see if any ponies were anywhere nearby. After seeing nopony, she sighed in relief and landed back on the ground gently. She nodded towards a nearby tree. If anypony was watching, she most certainly looked crazy to be nodding at plant-life but April smiled at the tree anyway.

Suddenly Sugar Pie and Cozy Glow came into sight, removing their invisibility spell.

"What should we do? We can't just y'know, do what normal fillies do. We'll get caught and it won't end well." April sighed.

"We could always run away." Sugar said blatantly.

"WHAT!?" Both Cozy and April shouted.

"That's probably a bad idea.." Cozy shuddered.

"Let's do it!" April grinned.

"It could be dangerous.."

"All powerful magic unicorn, duh."

"What about us?"

"Well, I'm awesome- and we can fly away or something." April shrugged

"shelter?"

"We'll find something."

"Food?"

"Can't sugar just go poof with her magic and get us something?"

"I don't think that's how it works."

"Well I'll figure it out."

"Your families?"

April snorted, "They'll live."

"Pinkie and Cheese have two other children and I'm just adopted. I doubt much ruckus will be caused." Sugar interjected.

"Friends?" Cozy asked.

"We just have each other. Well now we have you but you get the point."

"You sure? Your parents are important figures in Equestria, they'll probably cause a ruckus."

"How'd you know who our parents are?" April titled her head.

"Sugar Pie just listed her parents and you look a lot like Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Only people along their family line have rainbow hair anyway."

"Makes sense. Let's go!"

"Not so fast!" Sugar looked at April. "We must pack certain necessities. You can't possibly think we're just gonna run off with no plan or no- well anything."

"Well duh, I thought that's what we were gonna do?"

"You're such an idiot." She muttered under her breath.

"Hey!"

"When should we leave then?" Cozy stepped between her friends before a fight could break out.

"Meet here at midnight." Sugar held her head a bit higher.

"Deal!" April practically shouted.

"Quite!" Sugar snapped then composed herself and teleported away.

"Do you two ever get along?" Cozy asked quizicially.

"Oh, all the time. We just argue a lot as well." April shrugged, "We always end up sorting things out and just laugh it off."

"You guys have a good, strong friendship I presume?"

"Hell yeah." April smirked.
