Eventually, it was time for lunch. Everypony broke out their lunches and headed outside to eat. Oreo Mist sat at a table and looked at her lunch inside its brown paper bag. Reshiram had made her a cheese sandwich, and added in a pack of crackers and a cupcake from Sugarcube Corner. Yum!
Oreo Mist was really hungry and was paying more attention to her food rather than what was going on around her. So she was a little startled when three fillies sat down across from her. "Hi!" they said.
Oreo Mist recognized two of the fillies, they were the ones she sat in between. "Oh....hi." she said shyly. "You're Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, right?"
"Yup!" the yellow filly, Applebloom, replied. "But ya can't forget Scootaloo!" she added, referring to the orange Pegasus filly that was with them.
"Hello." Scootaloo said.
"Nice to meet you, Scootaloo." Oreo Mist replied. "Did....you guys need something?"
"Well, we did want to ask you something...." Sweetie Belle began.
Oreo Mist tilted her head to the side in a curious manner. "What did you want to know?" she asked.
"Well, we noticed that ya didn't have a Cutie Mark yet." Applebloom said.
"What do Cutie Marks have to do with anything?" Oreo Mist questioned.
"You see, we don't have our Cutie Marks either...." Scootaloo answered.
"An' we started this club ta earn our Cutie Marks and help other ponies earn theirs!" Applebloom added.
"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle said.
"We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" the three fillies said in unison while bumping hooves.
"The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Oreo Mist asked.
"Yeah!" Applebloom said. "We wanted ta know if ya wanted to join the Crusade, since ya don't have a Cutie Mark yet."
"So you wanna join?" Sweetie Belle asked. She had a very excited look on her face.
"It does sound interesting."Oreo Mist said. She was really considering joining the club. But before she could say anything else, somepony interrupted.
"Oh, trying to get the newbie in your lame little club?" The voice sounded snobby and mean. Oreo Mist turned around and saw two other Earth Pony fillies that were in her class. One was pinkish-purple with a purple and white mane. She wore a tiara on her head and had one for a Cutie Mark. The other filly was gray, her mane a lighter shade of gray. She wore blue-framed glasses and had a spoon with a heart on it for a Cutie Mark. Oreo Mist turned to the Crusaders. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom looked a little scared, but Scootaloo looked just plain unamused. Oreo Mist just had a confused look on her face. What is going on?
"Uh....who are you guys?" Oreo Mist asked the two newcomers.
"I can't believe you don't know already!" the pink-purple one said. "I'm none other than Diamond Tiara. My dad is super rich! This is my lovely acquaintance, Silver Spoon."
"Yes, and you probably shouldn't side yourself with these....uh.... lame-os." Silver Spoon added. "If you want to be popular like us, that is...."
"And I know you want to popular, so you should hang out with us!" Diamond Tiara said.
"Bump, bump, sugar-lump, rump!" the two fillies cheered while performing a strange hoofshake. Oreo Mist raised an eyebrow.
"So what's your choice? Popularity and fabulousity with us or being lame with the lame blank flanks?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Will you just leave her alone?!" Scootaloo yelled angrily.
Oreo Mist had an unamused face on. She didn't really like Diamond Tiara. She looked at Silver Spoon. She actually had a sorry expression on her face. Oreo Mist actually felt a little bad for her. But then she looked over at the Crusaders. Sweetie Belle was on the verge of tears. Applebloom was curled up in a ball, trying to shut out Diamond Tiara's monstrous behavior. Oreo Mist made her decision. She was about to politely decline Diamond Tiara's offer when the snobby filly started to taunt the Crusaders some more.
"Aww, are you guys gonna cry? You three really are crybabies!"
Oreo Mist has really had enough, so much so that her magic decided to teach Diamond Tiara a lesson. Everypony watched in shock as Diamond Tiara turned into a tree and Silver Spoon turned into an orange. Anypony on the school campus turned into a random object.
"OREO, SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!" Sweetie Belle yelled over all the commotion.
"Huh?" Oreo Mist questioned, thus causing her to snap out of it. Everything slowly turned back to normal after that. Oreo Mist looked at the scene she created in sheer horror. "OH MY CELESTIA!!"
"Oreo Mist! What have you done?!" Cheerlie asked angrily.
"Miss Cheerlie, I am SO SORRY!!" Oreo Mist wailed. "I don't know what just happened! It's just....Diamond Tiara was being mean to Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, and I....I...." she trailed off and started to cry a little.
Everypony looked sadly at Oreo Mist, then angrily at Diamond Tiara, who was no longer a tree. Cheerlie wrapped her hooves around the crying Alicorn filly. "It's going to be okay." the magenta mare said. "First days of school are always tough, but the days after always get better."
"I'm...I'm....sorry, everypony...." Oreo Mist sobbed. "I'm....so....sorry....I really am...."
"Diamond Tiara, see me after school is over." Cheerlie instructed.
"Yes, Miss Cheerlie." Diamond Tiara replied, rolling her eyes.
"Let's go back to class and forget this happened, everypony." Cheerlie said.
