Chapter 2

BRIIIIING!!!! The bell that symbols that school was over had rang and the school day was now over. Marble couldn't wait to go to sugarcube corner with her new friends. Marble packed up all her stuff and bounced out of the schoolhouse like her mother would have. Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo were with her too. They had spoken about having a new crusader for a long time and they had found the perfect pony. Now they just need to see if Marble would be willing to join. Let's see what Marble will say.

"Mum, can I go to sugarcube corner with Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo!" Marble yelled across the park.
"Silly you don't have to ask. I work there." Pinkie said when her daughter got over there. And with that she swooped her in to a big hug. "How was school?" Pinkie asked.
"It was fun! I made 4 new friends!" Marble said excitedly.
"Yea Misses pinkie." Apple bloom said.
"We'll let's get going to sugarcube corner then." Pinkie said.
"Yaaaaaaay!!!" The girls yelled in unison.

At sugarcube corner...
"Mum can you get us some milkshakes please?" Marbel asked.
"Of course darling, What would you girls like?" Pinkie replied
"One strawberry milkshake!" Sweetie said.
"One chocolate milkshake please." Apple Bloom said
"Same here." Scootaloo added on to Apple Blooms order.
"A vanilla milkshake please mum." Marble said.
"Okie doki loki!" Pinkie said as she hopped of to the kitchen.
"So..." Apple Bloom began. "We were wonderin if ya would like to become a crusader?"
"Whats that?" Marble asked.
"A crusader is somepony who goes on adventures to find some something, We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders because we don't have our cutie marks yet." Sweetie replied.
"That would be so much fun!" Marble said excitedly.
"I told you girls she'd say yes, That is a yes right?" Scootaloo asked.
"Of course!" Marble told her. "I would love to be a crusader with you girls."
"Awesome! Sweetie you need to make her a cape before next week ok?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Aye aye captin!!" Sweetie replied.
"On the other hoof, How was your first day at school?" Scootaloo asked taking a sip of her milkshake.
"It was pretty good, a note fell on my desk but unless it was addressed to me i would never read it." Marble said.
" That was probably Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon talking about us again." Sweetie said with a sad face.
"Well speak of the devil." Apple Bloom said as Diamond Tiara and Silver Soon walked in..
They were laughing and talking about something obviously very funny. Marble thought she heard her name once or twice as they walked up to an empty counter. "Ahem!' Diamond Tiara cleared her throat loudly trying to get someone to take her order.
"Sorry guys, i'll be right back. if mom.dad or the cakes aren't at the counter its my job to take the orders." Marble said apologetically.
"Its all right sugercube, Good luck with them two." Apple Bloom said.
"I'll try." Marble said as she bounced off to the counter. "Hello, Welcome to Sugercube Corner, What can i help you with today?" Marble asked in her cheerful voice. She was going to be nice to these two even if it killed her.
"Finally," Diamond Tiara said with her eyes closed and muzzle up. "We would like two raspberry scones, Please."
"Coming right up." Marble said. "do you girls want a table or will you be going soon?" Marble asked politely.
"A table please." Diamond Tiara said.
"Ok, follow me please." Marble said as she started to walk towards a table. "Please sit here, i'll be right back with your scones." Marble said as she started to walk away. Sliver Spoon quietly got up and followed her back to the counter.
"Um, I'm sorry to interrupt but could I also get a vanilla milkshake and a chocolate cupcake to go please." Silver spoon asked quietly.
"Of course." Marble said. "Just let me go and make the milkshake."
"Thank you." Silver Spoon said as Marble came back with the milkshake in a togo cup and the cupcake in a box. "Marble right?" Silver Spoon asked.
"Yes that is my name." Marble said.
"Silver Spoon." Silver Spoon said. "I'm sorry for being so mean at school today, its just that Diamond Tiara is my only friend and all the other ponies hate me so i follow her lead so that i would never lose her as a friend."
"Thats all right. Maybe if you want we can hang out sometime." Marble said.
"That would be great!" Silver Spoon said. "Thank you."
"How about friday after school?" Marble asked.
"That can work, I can ask my parents if your aloud to sleepover." Silver Spoon said.
"Ok!" Marble said cheerfully. "Tell me tomorrow at school."
"Ok. Um i'll be going to sit with Diamond Tiara now." Silver Spoon said.
"Ok, I'll Talk to you later." Marble said as she started to bring the scones to Diamond Tiaras table.
"About time!" Diamond Tiara said hautally.
"I'm sorry miss, I had to help another customer who was in a hurry." Marble said.
"Ugh, Whatever." Diamond Tiara said. "You can leave now."
And with that Marble went back to sit with her friends.
"That must of been horrible." Scootaloo said.
"It was. The grey one isn't that bad but that pink one... Marble trailed off.
"Ah know." Apple Bloom said, "Try having to work with her."
"You had to work with her, of all ponies?" Marble questioned.
"Ya we had gotton in a fight on ma farm and we had broken through the chicken coup, we had to fix it and she wouldn't lift a hoof." Apple Bloom said.
"Wow." Marble said a look of awe on her face.
"That's Diamond Tiara for you." Scootaloo said.
"Oh look they're leaving." Sweetie pointed out happily.
"Thank Celestia." Marble said. "But that means that you girls should go to because shop will be closing up soon." Marble said sadly.
"Awe!" All three girls said in unison.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Marble said.
"Yeah. See you tomorrow Marble!" Scootaloo said as she took towards the door.
"Bye Marble. See ya tomorrow!" Apple Bloom said as she to started to walk towards the door.
"Bye Marble!" Sweetie said as she hugged her new friend. "See you!"
Bye girls." Marble said as they all walked out of the store.
What an amazing group of friends. Marble thought as she started to go through the last bit of work that had to be done before the store was closed. I just hope me and Silver Spoon can have just as good of a friendship.
