Scyth is a red earth pony from Fillydelphia He had come to Ponyville,because his mother wanted a better life for him.
Applebloom meets him and develops a liking to this colt, he is very kind to her. Can she tell him about her feelings or will Diamond Tiara get to him first?
Scythe was not much of a get-out-there type of pony. He mostly just minded his own business,and he didn't get out there very much. Him and his mother had moved from Fillydelphia to Ponyville,and had been there about a month. His mom,Cherry, worked as a mail-pony and Scythe's mom put him in Ponyville High School.

Dear Journal,
I am Scythe,I had come to Ponyville,because my mom wanted me to have a better life.Rather than the life I had in Fillydelphia.
I am going to Ponyville high school.I like it,I guess...I like the teachers and stuff. I've been having dreams,strange dreams. I can't really explain them. In one scenario: I am in a dark room,praying that I am not dead or will not soon be dead. And suddenly a doorway is busted open and a vibrant,majestic mare puts out a hoof. She looks like she can't be more that my age,at least. She also looks like she has a gold fur,and a blood-red mane. I don't know what these dreams cooritlate to but I every time I wake up I am on the other side of the bed that I was originally on,and I am staring at the other side of the bed,but nopony is there.
It really frightens me that I would be having these dreams.I had asked my mom why I was having the nightmares/dreams and she said that it is probably just a phase I am going through. My teacher,Cheerilee. Told me to stay after school for something,I did and she told me that I was going to tutor somepony that was failing in math. She told me her name was "Applebloom". The name didn't sound familiar. I still loved to help out others. Cheerilee told me to go to a place called "Sweet Apple Acres" and knock on the door of the household that was there,and asked for Applebloom. She told me also that another mare names "Applejack" would most likely greet me at the door. I am assuming Cheerilee had already told her that I will be tutoring Applebloom.
Scythe...out.
________________________
When he got to school he was met by a pink pony with a tiara. "Hi,my name is Diamond Tiara." She said as she reached out a hoof,to Scythe to shake. Scythe looked around,uncomfortably. "Uh,Ok." Scythe shook her hoof. "Come with me. We will be late for class." Diamond Tiara reccomended as she smiled. She started to walk off,Scythe followed.
"Alright class,lets start the lesson for today," Cheerilee said,as Diamond Tiara and Scythe entered the classroom.
Diamond Tiara motioned Scythe to sit to the desk beside her.
He sat down and she suddenly handed him a note. The note read: "Hey do you want to hang out,later? After school." There was a check box with a "yes" or "no",he checked yes.
Cheerille spoke up,"Excuse me Diamond. No passing notes in class." Diamond Tiara got the note back from Scythe and it looked like she had just handed him the note. "Yes ma'am," Diamond Tiara said lightly, Scythe looked at the board,as he had a black-out. "Scyth? Are you alright? Scythe!" Cheeriee shouted across the classroom,as she saw her student fall out of his chair. ____________________________ Scythe woke up at the Pony Hopital with a nurse and Cheerille and also his mom by his side. "Mom,what happened?" Scythe asked, "You had a black out,honey." Cherry responded,comfortably. Scythe looked puzzled at why he would have black outs,just randomly like that.
"And you had me and the other fillies worried." Cheerillee spoke up.
Scythe noticed another pony that he didn't reconized completely
"Exuse me,who are you," Scythe asked the mare, "Oh,Uh. My name is Applebloom. I was kinda worried so I visited you." She said. Scythe noticed she had "Gold Fur" and a "Blood-Red Mane". He almost passed out again,because she looked like the pony in his dreams.
He kept himself from passing out. He looked back at Applebloom. Cheerilee noticed,"Well Scythe. This is who you will be tutoring." Scythe looked up to his teacher,"Really?"
Cheerilee nodded.
"Alright,Scythe," The nurse spoke up,drawing Scythe's attention,"You should be signed out of the hospital in no time." The nurse smiled.
Cheerilee,Cherry,and the nurse left the room. Leaving Applebloom and Scythe.
"Uh,Applebloom." Scythe said looking down as his hooves moved nervously. "Yeah," Applebloom perked up.
"What can you tell me about,Diamond Tiara." When Scythe said that name Applebloom suddenly changed her worried face to an angry one.
"Uh," Applebloom drew closer to the colt,"Listen,don't get TO close to her. She will tear you life apart. Just like my friend experienced." Applebloom quickly turned around,mumbling to herself why she had just told him that. "What?" Scythe began,"Who did she hurt?"
Appebloom took in a deep breath and turned and faced Scythe. "My friend Sweetie Bell." Applebloom said,as a tear rolled down her face,"That mare had hurt her feelings pretty bad."
"Oh I had no idea-" "Don't worry about it." Applebloom began to leave the room. "Wait." Scythe spoke up. "What," "Thanks for caring," Applebloom blushed pink. She left the room.
"Alright come on," The nurse said entering from the other entrance.
A couple of other nurses came in and lifted Scythe off the hospital bed,and put him in a wheelchair.
They pushed him into the lobby where his mom was waiting.
"Hey mom," Scythe began as he got up from the wheelchair,"Where did Cheerilee and Applebloom go?" "Well they went back to the school. But you need to stay home the rest of the day,though."
Scythe looked down in dissapiontment that he wasn't going to get to spend time with Appebloom and to get to know her better. After all he was her tutor,so he might as well get to know her as best he can.
______________________________________
Cherry took Scythe home and laid him down on the couch. She had to hurry,she had to get back to her work.
"Hey Scythe." "Yeah,mom." "I have to go to work,I will be back in about an hour." "Oh ok." Scythe carefully got up from the couch and hugged his mother. As a tear tumbled down his face. "What is wrong,hun?" Cherry asked as she pulled away. "Nothing," Scythe laughed,"Its just I am so glad to have a mother like you and friends like Cheerilee and Applebloom." "Aw,Scythe." Cherry embraced her son. "Well I don't want to make you late."
"Oh,right." Cherry hurried out the door.
Scythe laid on the couch once more,looking up at the ceiling... Scythe to himself,"I wonder if Applebloom has and email." He looked at the clock,it read 5:00 p.m. "She should be getting out of school soon..." Scythe ran into his room and fired up his computer and went to his inbox.
He wrote to Applebloom,"Hey,its Scythe. The one that passed out in class. I was wondering if you were willing to meet me soon..."
Scythe looked sat back in his chair,he pressed "Enter."
"Ok,now it is a waiting game." Scythe said to himself. He waited a couple minutes, He heard a "New Message" tone come from his computer.
It was from Applebloom,he read,"Sure,but not today. I need to spend some time with my friend. But yeah. Soon."
"Hmm..." Scythe scratched his chin,"I wonder if I can help her with her friend." He didn't bother sending her another message. He closed his laptop and laid on his bed...Thinking,wishing that he might be able to help with what Diamond Tiara had done to Applebloom's friends.
He said to himself,"Why would a mare do this. A MARE no less. That is low for anypony to do something like th-" A smile came across his face as he got up from his bed. A smile almost sinister.
___________________________________________
He walked around Ponyville,looking for his target. He examined everypony carefully not to miss how he was looking for.
Scythe saw a group of mares talking amongst themselves,when suddenly he saw Diamond Tiara,he got off the bench he had been sitting on.
He walked over to the group,careful not be noticed. He if he did,his plan would be flaud. He waited until nopony was around Diamond Tiara. Then he made his move,he went up behind her,and put a hoof over her. Startling her. "Hey Diamond,you said you wanted to hang out,right?" It took a second for her to reconize that it was Scythe. "Oh yeah," she smiled. "Perfect," Scythe said,trying to hide his sinister smirk.
Scythe and Tiara walked over to a pavilion,nearby. Scythe looked around for if any ponies were around. Diamond noticed this strange behavior,"What's wrong,Scythe."
"Don't worry," Scythe looked at her,with hazy eyes,"Everything is fine." "Are you sure,you are kinda freaking me out." Diamond Tiara responded as she held his hoof in her's.
Scythe's eyes suddenly shot open,with a sinister laugh.
"Scythe!" Tiar shouted,as he tripped her. Scythe looked down out of sarcastic pity,"Oh don't worry," "Scythe! Stop!" Tiara shouted once more,as she closed her eyes. Scythe just laughed again.
Tiara curled up,scared for her life.
"Well,whats wrong,Tiara." Scythe said. "Wha-," She opened her eyes,seeing Scythe worried,"I thought you were gonna kill me." "What,why would I do that?" Scythe looked puzzled. "Don't worry about it," she said as she walked ahead of him,not seeing the sinister smile come upon his face once again. His plan had worked,he had installed fear into somepony who made other ponies fear her.
"I have a great place for you and me." Scythe said keeping up with Diamond. "Oh really," Diamond grinned happily,as she was recovering from what had just happened.
The two went to a hill,overlooking Ponyville. "This is beautiful," Diamond said,as she walked up to the edge...
~ "Uh,Scythe,what are you doing." she said as he approached her with another sinister grin. Scythe pushed Diamond off the hill,seeing her body tumble out of control down. "AHHH!" Diamond screamed,as she sped to a building in the proximity. "Ha Ha Ha," Scythe laughed histarically.~
"Diamond! Diamond!" "Wha-" Diamond opened her eyes and she was on the ground again and saw Scythe holding out a hoof. "What happened,Tiara?' Scythe asked,worringly. "Oh nothing,sorry I am not my best today." Diamond chuckled,as she just stared off the hill.
Diamond Tiara's face was flushed...She didn't know why these "Scenes" had popped into her mind.
"Well,I wanted to ask you something." Scythe said as he laid down,along side Tiara. "Shoot." "Well do you know who 'Applebloom' is?" He stared at her with hazy eyes once again.
"Oh," Diamond looked away,"Well-"
"Tell me." Diamond could tell that he was getting impatient
Applebloom has always been a get-out-there kind of filly, who just loves to help other ponies out.
She had been living in a farm house in Sweet Apple Acres for her whole life. She lived with her two siblings, her older sister, Applejack, and her older brother, Big Macintosh.
Her grandmother sadly died a few years before her first year of Ponyville High School.

Dear diary,
Since this is a new diary; my name is Applebloom.
AJ is a bitch; always yells at me about my grades, and how I should be doing better in school.
I said it was just math. And I get in trouble, I guess it really doesn't help that I asked her if she could even count to two. And the fact that I called her a retard.
So now she says, I'm grounded, but that's what she thinks. I am 15 years old. I really don't care if she grounds me or not, I'm to old for her to treat me like a little frikkin filly.
But anyway... I have been having some very weird dreams, ever since that new colt moved to Ponyville. I don't really know how to go about explaining the dreams.
In one of those dreams, I'm in a very bright hallway that seems endless, and I walk for a long time. After what seemed like hours, I find a black door.
I barely touch the door and it comes off the hinges and falls down. I can't really see if anypony is in there, but I know there is somepony there, I reach out a hoof to try and feel through the darkness, but I always wake up at that part.
When I wake up I'm always facing one side of my bed. It's almost like somepony should be there.
I don't like that dream, its just weird.
Anyways, yesterday at school, DT hurt Sweetie's feelings. She spent all day crying in the school bathroom.
When me and Scoots went to try and talk to her, she wouldn't come out.
Rarity had to come get her and bring her home.
Diamond made her cry. That is Sweetie, you just don't do that. Making her cry is almost as bad, or more so, as making Fluttershy cry.
I am gonna get that spoiled bitch and make her pay.
I hope today goes better than yesterday.
Sincerely,
AB
_______________________________
"Applebloom, it's time ta start walking towards the school house!" Applejack yelled up the stairs.
Applebloom closed her diary and put it in her saddlebags.
The teenage filly got up, and walked out of her room. On her way out she bumped in to her brother and almost got knocked down.
"Will ya watch where yer goin, I mean Celestia ya big dummy!" The golden filly yelled harshly to the big red stallion.
Big Mac just gave a big yawn in response.
"Fer Luna's sake, don't ya ever brush yer teeth?" Applebloom asked rhetorically, and scrunching her nose in disgust.
Big Macintosh walked past her, rolling his eyes.
AB now clearly pissed, walked down the stairs, and towards the door.
"Don't y'all want somethin ta eat?" Her older sister asked.
"No," Applebloom spat with venom lacing her tone. She walked out of the house, slamming the door behind her.
Outside, an orange filly with a short unkempt violet mane, was waiting for her.
"Sup, AB?" the orange filly asked.
"Nothin, how's Sweets doin?" the filly with the blood red mane asked.
"I don't know, she won't talk to me. And she is still crying," Scootaloo replied, looking to the ground.
"Goddesses, we have ta get back at her!" Applebloom declared.
"We can't, until we find out what she did," Scootaloo said, said triumphantly.
~~~~~~
As the two mares turn off the road, Applebloom chuckled lightly.
Scootaloo having apparently heard the the strange laughter turned to see her friend staring off in another direction.
The orange mare looked in the direction her friend was so interested in. Scootaloo gave the most devilish grin her face could muster. "Hey, AB, see somethin you like?" The orange filly asked, jerking both her eyebrows up.
Applebloom turned as red as her mane. "N-no, what... What a thing to say," the gold mare defended, if a bit flustered.
"Well I wouldn't get to comfortable with him," Scootaloo pointed her hoof back over in that direction.
"What are ya on abo-" Applebloom's sentence was cut off, by a loud gasp that emitted from her own mouth. the mouth which now hung so low, that it threatened to turn the dirt from the old pathway into her breakfast.
Applebloom stood there in shock. And after a minute or two she looked down seeming somewhat defeated.
"Ah guess its okay, he probably doesn't even know ah exist."
"Hey cheer up she is probably just buggin him," Scootaloo said, with reassuring smile. "Sides, I bet he thinks he's all that, cause he's smart or somethin like that," the orange maned filly stated matter-of-factly.
Applebloom seemed to cheer up after that. ______________________________
The two fillies walked into the school. The only ones in the class room was, Mrs. Cheerilee, Feather Weight, Snips, Snails, Silver Spoon, and a bunch of other fillies and colts, but Applebloom didn't know their names.
But, Diamond Tiara and Scythe, weren't there yet.
~~~~~~
Scythe and DT walked in the classroom, by this time, Scootaloo had her head in an open book. (No she wasn't reading.)
The orange filly was snoring very loudly. Diamond walked past the filly, and flicking her tail, hiting Scootaloo in the nose.
Scootaloo only stirred, but snoring was no longer an issue anymore.
DT sat down somewhere in the front of the room where she normally sits. The prissy pink pony then motioned towards her, a few seconds later, Scythe came and sat beside the pink filly.
Applebloom who had been watching the whole ordeal, felt like she lost. It really didn't make sense, because she doesn't even know who he is.
I mean sure she knows his name, but that's only because, Mrs. Cheerilee reads off the absence list, and every time the name Scythe came up, he raises his hand.
All of a sudden, Applebloom came to a shocking realization, 'well Scythe is new here and doesn't know how Diamond is, so she is playin him,' Applebloom thought in worry.
Applebloom's thought were cut short by a loud thump, and Cheerilee yelling.
"Scythe? Are you alright? Scythe?!"
Applebloom got up from her desk and made a b-line right to his side.
_______________________________
Applebloom insisted on staying with Scythe, and went with him to the hospital.
Once there they waited until Scythe woke up from the black out he had in class.
While they were waiting, Cheerilee took the liberty of telling Applebloom she had found a tutor to help her in her math classes.
"But Ah don't want a tutor, I don't like any of them smart ponies that use the big words. I just been havin some trouble with those fancy equations, with them letters in em" the filly whined, rolling her eyes, at the teacher.
"Well if you're having trouble, then you need a tutor, and trust me you will like this pony," the violet colored mare reassured, with a bright smile.
Applebloom sighed and eventually gave up the argument. She looked over to the hospital bed and sighed impatiently. "When is he gonna wake up?"
"Applebloom, I did not pull you out of school to complain."
"Yeah, but-"
"No buts, now this will be part of your community service, but if you keep complaining I won't count it."
After Cheerilee's last statement they sat quietly for a while until nurse Redheart came in with, what appeared to be, a very worried mother. ------------
About 20 minutes later. Scythe stirred in his bed.
Everyone was quiet when he opened his eyes.
Applebloom had a dreamy grin on her face, from her place beside Cheerilee.
'O my gosh he so cute, when he's waking up,' the blood-red maned filly thought, resisting the urge to squeal like a school filly would with a newborn kitten.
"Mom, what happened?" Scythe asked.
Surprisingly the colt's mother was surprisingly calm, when she answered, "you had a black out, honey."
"And you had me and the other fillies, and colts worried," Cheerilee spoke up.
He looked over at her then at Applebloom, 'ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. He is looking at me,' The golden filly thought.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Scythe asked, the young mare.
Applebloom looked up at him. "Oh, uh, my name is, Applebloom. I was kinda worried, so I visited you."
For a second Applebloom thought he was gonna pass out again, but instead he looked at her weirdly.
Cheerilee spoke when she noticed, "well Scythe, this is who you will be tutoring."
Sctythe looked at Cheerilee, "really?" He asked.
Applebloom was worried. 'oh no what if he doesn't like me," she thought.
Applebloom thought for awhile she didn't notice when the nurse came in the room and when everybody left.
Scythe's voice cut through, "uh Applebloom?" He asked looking down at his hooves and fidgeting nervously.
Applebloom perked up at that question. "Yeah?" She asked a little happier now that she knew he didn't hate her guts enough to not even speak to her.
"What can you tell me about Diamond Tiara?"
'Oh I can tell you a few things about that bitch,' the gold furred filly thought. Getting a little angry from the mere thought of the pink filly.
"Uh," Applebloom groaned and drew closer to Scythe, almost invading the hospital bed he was on. "Listen, don't get 'TO' close to her. She will tear you life apart. Just like my friend experienced."
Applebloom quickly turned around, and mumbled to herself, "why would I tell him that that is Sweetie's business."
"What?" Scythe asked, "Who did she hurt?"
Appebloom took in a deep breath and turned and faced Scythe. "My friend Sweetie Bell," Applebloom said, as a tear rolled down her face, "That mare had hurt her feelings pretty bad."
"Oh, I had no idea-"
"Don't worry about it," Applebloom said, cutting off Scythe's sentence.
Applebloom began to leave, before Scythe spoke up, "what," the smart pony called.
Applebloom looked behind her, seeing his mischievous smirk. "What," she said, a little annoyed.
"Thanks for caring," Scythe said, causing a little heat to rise up to the fillies cheeks.
Applebloom left the room, cheeks stained a little pinker than when she went in.
As Applebloom walked into the lobby, Cheerilee, was already waiting for her .
"School is almost over, we should head back and get your stuff," the violet mare said.
"Okay, Mrs. Cheerilee."
Applebloom started to walk out before her teacher followed. "Oh, and hey Applebloom?"
"Yeah, Mrs. Cheerilee?"
"Now do you still think you'll hate the tutor I picked?" Mrs. Cheerilee asked.
Applebloom gave another light blush, followed by a nervous chuckle. Applebloom loved Mrs. Cheerilee's sense of humor.
Cheerilee gave a small laugh, and nudged her pupil with her hoof. "Oh, you know I'm only joking."
"No kiddin," Applebloom said sarcastically. They started the walk back to the school house. _______________________________
Once the two were at the schoolhouse, Cheerilee walked up to the substitute teacher, for the report.
"Well everything was fine... Except for the filly named Scootaloo, who found it very funny when I sat on a hoof tack," the substitute explained.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Heartstrings, it will be dealt with," Cheerilee apologetically said.
Applebloom rolled her eyes. 'That does sound like Scoots,' she thought.
"Bye Mrs. Cheerilee,"
"Hold on a minute! You aren't getting away without your math homework," Cheerilee exclaimed.
'Damn, caught,' Applebloom thought to herself. _______________________________
Applebloom finally got home from school. Opening the door to the two story farmhouse.
She walked in and looked around. Nopony was home.
After she had finished listening for any signs of life besides her own breathing, and heart beat, she went into the kitchen.
She opened the tall white refrigerator and peered inside.
She found what she was looking for and grabbed it in her maw.
She went up stairs, munching on the apple fritter, she'd been dying to eat.
When she was done eating she went upstairs. As she opened her bedroom door, she heard the new message tone on her computer.
She set her saddlebags on her bed, and walked over to her computer. The computer sat on a polished wood desk in the corner of her room.
She opened the messaging app, and clicked inbox. There were 3 new messages in the inbox.
One was just an advertisement, the other was from Scootaloo.
She opened the one from Scootaloo first. The electronic message said,
'Hey, AB me and Sweetie are gonna go hiking to keep her mind off things. She still won't tell us what diamond did though. Are you in? ;-)
Applebloom replied to the message, 'of course!! ;-)' ----------------
After that message was done she opened the other one. She didn't recognize the email address.
The message read, 'hey, its Scythe. The one that passed out in class. I was wondering if you were willing to meet me soon...'
Applebloom was shocked and overjoyed at the same time.
'Sure, but not today. I need to spend some time with my friend, but yeah, soon,' she clicked the enter button and sent the message. ------------ A few seconds later the "new message tone rang through the room.
Applebloom looked at it. It was Scootaloo, the message read, 'awesome;-) we're leaving in a sec, be ready.';-)' ------------
Applebloom shut off her laptop. And went to get ready to pack.
She emptied all of her school stuff onto the bed, save for the diary she carried everywhere.
After her saddlebag was empty, except for the small book, Applebloom went down the stairs.
Once the young mare was at the bottom of the steps, she went into the kitchen. She pulled open the cabinet under the sink. There she grabbed a lantern.
The lantern itself looked very old. It was red, with a small glass door to insert the fireflies that would undoubtedly be useful when it was dark. _______________________________
After she was done packing things. Like rope, water, and fair amount of other fear such as, zip line equipment, and rock climbing stuff. She sat down to scribble a few things in her diary. _______________________________
Dear diary,
Today was very confusing and eventful day.
The first thing that happened to me today was, I think Scootaloo knows about my feelings for Scythe. I don't mind that she knows, it's just if she blabs it, Diamond Tiara might be told, and knowing her she would stoop so low as to get between us, just to keep me miserable.
The second thing, Scythe blacked out in the middle of math class. I might have been way to obvious about my feelings because, I was almost instantly at his side. I really couldn't help myself I just felt so worried.
The third thing hasn't really happened, but this is a prediction, Scootaloo, Sweetie, and I, are going hiking. Scootaloo seems it will take her mind off things, involving a certain, spoiled filly.
But, I hope she will tell us what happens. All she's been doing is crying in her room. I'm surprised Rarity, and Scoots could even get her out of the house.
This is Applebloom, saying goodbye, and wish me good luck. _______________________________
Sup. Its Scythe, Yesterday was not my day by any means... I met a mare named Applebloom, somehow she looked like the mare I had in my dreams...Which was odd.
But I emailed her askin' if she wanted to hang out... She had to comfort her friend...Speakin' of which I cannot beleive I liked Diamond Tiara... I mean I found out what she did and...Damn... That is just f'd up...
Anyway I am gonna hang out with a couple of my friends... Hopefully they don't fuck with me about this whole "Applebloom" thing....
But I guess thats life... Hm... It seems odd... That I now like a totally different mare than I did earlier in my life in Ponyville... It's still better than Manehatten and all that shitty drama. Seeya. __________________________
Scythe walked to the pavilion where he was meeting some of his friends. He was greeted by a gray scawny filly, Featherweight.
"Hey Scythe, how have you been?" Featherweight said expecting a certain answer from Scythe.
Scythe glared at his friend as he walked up to the center of the pavilion. "Good."
Featherweight sighed, and smiled, "Who's this 'Applebloom' I've been hearing about?"
Scythe shook his head, "You really wanna go there?"
Featherweight nodded, "Yes, I do."
"She's just a mare I met nothing more." Scythe looked around for anypony listening in.
"Just 'friends'?" Featherweight said sarcastically. He started to make out with the air behind Scythe, laughing.
Scythe turned around, "Well, last time I checked you haven't had a mare-friend in a while. So? Remember, Sweetie Crush."
Scythe laughed.
Featherweight stopped and frowned, "Hey! I thought you said you would never bring that up again... That was really embarrasing."
Scythe continued to laugh, "Yeah I know but, I can still see your face. And-"
"You little bucker. Don't you dare go there." Featherweight go serious. Pointing a hoof towards Scythe.
Scythe stopped laughing, wiping a tear from his eye. "Okay, so. Whats the plan?"
Featherweight smiled and put out a map on the bench. "Okay so we start here. At the football field. Ya followin my here?"
Scythe nodded.
"Alright so then we move onto the back of the school, where the janitor's office is. That's where we get the water bucket. And did you bring the water balloons, for phase two?" Featherweight looked at Scythe. Scythe reached into his saddlebag and spread some water balloons out onto the bench.
"Good deal, next phase. Is to get the target with water balloons."
"Who's the target?" Scythe asked.
Featherweight looked up, to the other side of the field, seeing a group of mares. "Them." He said pointing a hoof over to the group.
"Oh shit, thats-" Scythe remembered.
"Thats who, Scythe?" Featherweight asked puzzled. "Oh nothing, so whats the next step?" Scythe said, quickly changing the subject.
"Alright, then we split up. You take the west side of the school and I take the east side. The others will take north and south. So you ready, to bring order back to Ponyville High School?" He shouted as he raised his hoof towards the sky, Scythe did the same.
"Yes. Lets do this." The two stallions said simultaniousely.
____________________________________________
They walked into the school with bandanas on, Scythe had on a black bandana, while Featherweight had on a yellow one. Both had saddlebags full of water balloons.
Featherweight gave the signal to split up. Scythe saw a couple other stallions and mares, wearing bandanas split up as well. They all had earpeices, in case anything went wrong, with the operation.
Scythe ran into the gym and hid in a dark corner of the room and waited. He heard a couple mares come into the gym as he prepared for the attack.
He knew the target, none other than, Diamond Tiara.
Scythe thought for a second...
I get back at Diamond for what she did to Sweetie Bell... Then not a lot of ponies would like Diamond anymore.. Its public humiliation time...
He stood up and got the attention of Diamond Tiara and a couple other mares with her.
He started to throw the balloons only try to make contact with Diamond Tiara.
"That's for Sweetie, you narsacistic bitch!" Scythe yelled towards her as he ran out of the gym, Diamond was soaked with water, she didn't recognize his voice though.
Scythe laughed as he took off his bandana and headed for the exit as fast as he could, when static went through his earpiece.
"I need backeup... Anypony I need backup. NOW!"
Scythe recognized the voice as Featherweight's.
"Wait up Feather. I am coming. Location?" Scythe asked as he ran down the school hallway.
Scythe rounded the corner, suddenly a mare stepped out in front of him, as he ran into her.
"Hey! Watch where ya goin'!" The mare yelled.
Scythe's eyes widened as he recognized the mare, as Applebloom.
"Scythe?" Applebloom asked as she got up slowly.
"Uh..." Scythe quickly put his bandana back on and ran off.
"Hm.. that was weird." Applebloom said puzzled.
"Come on Applebloom. Get back in here." Cheerilee called to Applebloom.
Applebloom sighed, "Yes ma'am."
_____________________________
Scythe ran to the location of Featherweight. Seeing a group of mares. Scythe hid behind a corner. He breathed in heavily.
"Please don't do this." Featherweight pleaded.
"You know the punishment." Another voice said, angry.
Scythe rounded the corner, bandana around his snout and started throwing water balloons at his friend's attackers. Successfully hitting a couple of them, the rest ran off.
Scythe walked up to Featherweight. Looked down on him.
"Scythe. I am sorr-" Featherweight tried to apologize, but Scythe intterupted.
"You almost gave away our identity." Scythe said, angry, as he untied his friend.
"I know..." Featherweight looked down at the ground. "Sorry."
Scythe walked Featherweight out of the closest exit. As Scythe remembered his encounter with Applebloom, he smiled.
I got an email from Scythe yesterday. I am so excited, he had asked me to hang out with him. I am still wondering when our tutoring sessions will start.
He is so cute, I hope he likes me in the same way as I like him. I haven't had a very special somepony yet but, I really wouldn't mind if he would-

Applejack's reading session was cut off by a slamming door. She hid the diary back under the white mattress and took up the broom that was leaning against it.
Applejack began picking up hats and other material clothing.
Applebloom walked in and glared at Applejack. Applejack, giving a glare of her own, that spoke of tension and anger.
Applejack spoke up first, softening her gaze into a warm smile mixed with a playful grin. "Why do ya even have all these here clothes, were always prancin around in the nude and what not?" Applejack asked playfully.
Applebloom just stared at here out of anger. Applejack fidgeted for what seemed like minutes, under the younger mare's gaze.
"Ah was just tryin ta lighten the mood," Applejack said begrudgingly.
"I don't care, just get out of my room and next time it needs clean let me do it. You stay out of this fucking room," Applebloom spat venomously.
The older mare looked to her sister, a horrified expression gracing her features. In a few seconds to look changed to an angry glare.
"Now listen here little filly, ah reckon if ya don't want your jaw smacked, y'all aught not let me catch ya sayin that word again!" Applejack scolded through gritted teeth.
"Fuckfuckfuckityfuckfuc-" Applebloom was cut off by a strong yellow hoof flogging her left cheek. The swift hoof nearly knocked the young mare on her side.
Applebloom just stared at the place her head was turned in shock. Her big sister had never hit her. Applejack had always been a mare to talk through her problems, she would've never hit Applebloom when she was younger. But then again, Applebloom would've never cussed when she younger.
"Applebloom, ah am so sor-umph"
Before Applejack could finish her sentence, Applebloom delivered a strong hoof straight at Applejack's chest. The blow sent AJ staggering back until she fell unconscious.
A powerful enough hit to the chest could knock the wind and lights out of anypony, even Big Mac wouldn't be standing if one of those landed on his chest.
Well, Applebloom did not have a clue that was gonna happen. She was however worried of what her older sister might do to her if she was still around the house when she woke up. No doubt she would still be angry.
Applebloom ran down the stairs and past her big brother. "I'm going to stay at Scootaloo's for a few nights," Applebloom said, walking past the huge stallion.
Apple ballon walked out the door and a few seconds later she heard her older sister's enraged yell.
"Where is she?!"
Upon hearing that, Applebloom broke into a gallop.
~~~~
Applebloom stood In front of the little cottage. She heard arguing from inside and was reluctant tho knock on the door. She hesitantly reached a hoof up to the plain wood door.
Before she could reach it though a young orange mare came walking out.
"Well We love you, Scoots," a voice called from inside.
Scootaloo rolled her eyes. She noticed the golden furred filly standing in the doorway and she went pale.
"Oh um how much of that did you hear?" The little orange filly asked embarrassed.
Applebloom snickered, "enough," she said teasingly. "I was actually hoping I could stay here for the night?" She pressed hopefully.
"Sorry Applebloom, I was actually heading to Sweeties house to ask I could stay," the orange filly said matter-of-factly.
"Oh... Wait, we could have a slumber party!!" Applebloom yelled, nearly squealing with excitement.
"Applebloom, that's a great idea," the violet mane filly agreed happily. "Celestia, we haven't had a sleep over since we were fillies."
"Ya know campin is like an out door slumber party, right?"
"Um, no it's not, Applebloom. It's way different."
"No it's not. It's the same thing different place," the red maned filly corrected.
"Is not."
"Is too."
~~~~
Applebloom laughed.
"It's not funny, it was humiliating. I thought my dad was gonna kill him," Scootaloo said in a serious voice, but chuckling while doing so.
"So your dad caught you suc-" Applebloom's mocking was cut off by an orange hoof being clamped over her mouth.
"Shhhh, I don't want everypony in Ponyville to know."
Applebloom gave an agreeing nod and Scootaloo to her hoof off. "Please don't be like Diamond and tell anypony," Scootaloo pleaded.
"Scootaloo, ya know you can tell me anything. We're friends," Applebloom said, trying to comfort her friend.
"I know. I'm just a little paranoid because of what diamond did."
"She ain't nothin but a lyin bitch. You know Sweetie would never do that."
"I know," Scootaloo looked to the ground then back at the filly.
The golden filly gave an offering smile. Scootaloo gladly returned the gesture, but the smile quickly turned to a mischievous smirk.
She pointed a hoof behind Applebloom. "Hey Applebloom, look who it is," Scootaloo said loudly.
"Who is i-" Applebloom was cut off by a very high pitched squeak upon seeing a certain red colt.
"Hey Scythe!!" Scootaloo yelled.
Applebloom froze solid. 'no he has a friend, I haven't even had a shower, what if he thinks I'm a dirty filly, I can't talk to him I have to hide,' Applebloom thought.
"Oh hey Applebloom. Hey, um? Well I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet."
"Oh I'm Scootaloo. Me and Applebloom are like best friends... She tells me everything," Scootaloo hauntingly.
Applebloom's face went as pale as a ghost, while at the same time wearing a blush.
"So this is Applebloom, huh?" Scythe's companion, who had remained quiet the whole time spoke up hauntingly.
Upon hearing his friend state the name, scythes face transformed the usual red color to one not unlike Applebloom's.
Applebloom looked to the ground to hide her blush.
"Applebloom's been talking nonstop about you, Scythe," Scootaloo continued.
"Scootaloo, I have not!" Applebloom shouted, causing a giggle from the orange filly. Applebloom looked to Scythe. "Not that I wouldn't mind talkin about you. I mean, I'm sure you're really fun to talk about, hehe. Applebloom said very rapidly.
"Oh don't worry Applebloom, scythe has been talking about you to," Featherweight said hauntingly.
Scythe and Applebloom. Both blush and looked away. Upon seeing their friends' embarrassment Scootaloo and Featherweight fell over in a fit of laughter.
After about a minute of this Applebloom and Scythe seemed to have enough.
"least I ain't chickens," Applebloom rebutted in a taunting tone.
Scootaloo gasped and a similar sound came from Featherweight.
~~~~
Sweetie belle heard a rasping at the door and she got up from her bed. Answering, not to her surprised was her sister.
"Sweetie dear, your friends are here to see you," Rarity's voice sang.
"Ok thanks Rarity," The pink and purple maned unicorn answered.
In another minute Scootaloo and Applebloom came into the room. The where yelling at each other.
"Do you two seriously have to fight all the time?" Sweetie asked.
"Scootaloo started it, guess what she did to m-"
Applebloom was cut off by Sweeties hoof plunged into her lips. The white hoof stayed there until the mumbling under it subsided.
"Now I don't wan't to hear it. My goodness guys how old are you?!" Sweetie Belle asked them.
They both looked down to their hooves and said their apologies in unison.
~later that night~
"Sweetie why would he even do that?!" Scootaloo and Applebloom yelled to the white unicorn.
Sweetie had just told them why she had been so upset lately. And now she lay on the bed with her friend crying her eyes out.
"I-I Don't know," Sweetie cried out.
Her friend wrapped her I'm a hug and comforted her.
"Look Sweetie if he is too stupid to not know you're better than that slut, then you don't need him anyway."
"Yeah," Applebloom Agreed with her orange friend.
"I just can't believe someone had sex with Diamond. That bitch is hit," Scootaloo said, scrunching up her nose in disgust.
"Scootaloo, what thing ta say?!" Applebloom yelled.
"What it's true," Scootaloo defended.
~meanwhile~
" But Mac, she hit me?!"
"AJ, y'all hit her first, I'ma guessin thats plenty a reason ta strike back."
"I guess, but its been so hard. She been so disrespectful toward meh."
"Ya ain't momma so quit pretending ya are. I ain't got the slightest clue on how ta be a big sister but Im bettin she needs a sister not a mom."
Applejack and the big red stallion sat at the table in silence for a few seconds.
Finally Applejack spoke, "Big Macintosh your a genius!!"
"Eeyup," the red stallion said simply.
The orange mare put a hoof to her chin in thought. "Ok so I'll take her out for a bite ta eat or something to spend some time with her..."
There was a knock at the Boutique door. Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Bell heard the knock from upstairs.
As Rarity went to answer the door, the three crusaders were listening from upstairs.
"Oh, hello there. Can I help you?" Rarity asked.
"Hello, I'm Scythe. Is Sweetie Bell here?" The visitor asked.
He was carrying a saddlebag with a couple books inside of it.
"Yes. May I ask what business you have with her?" Rarity asked.
Applebloom and Scootaloo recognized the stallion's voice immediately.
"Well, I recently heard of an incident between Diamond Tiara and Sweetie Bell. I wanted to see if she was alright," he responded, looking around the boutique.
"Yes, she is here and doing rather fine. However, I believe she is busy with her friends. The three are having a sleepover here tonight."
Applebloom slowly walked out of Sweetie's room. She looked down the stairs and saw a rather familiar stallion.
"Oh okay, well could you tell them I said hi?" Scythe said as he began to walk out.
"Of cours-" The white mare's response was cut short by a shout.
"Scythe!" Scootaloo yelled.
It got the attention of the intended target. Scythe whipped around, seeing an orange pegasus with a purple mane.
"Oh, hey Scootaloo."
Scootaloo went over to him and yelled upstairs. "Applebloom, come on!"
Scythe directed his attention to the stairs. He saw a certain filly timidly descend the stairwell.
"Hi, Scythe," Applebloom said.
Scythe didn't expect Applebloom there. He slightly blushed as Scootaloo brought the two closer together.
"You wanna join our sleepover, Scythe? You don't mind Rare, do you?"
Rarity smiled. "Oh not at all, as long as you four don't disturb my work."
Scootaloo nodded and went back to the two, "Cool. So Scythe, you want to?"
Scythe and Applebloom looked at each other for a couple seconds, Scythe smiled and spoke up.
"Sure, why not."
Applebloom was overjoyed. But slightly afraid that something might go wrong with the sleepover.
Scythe was the only stallion there and the rest of them were mares. He might get weirded out.
"So what you wanna do first?" Scootaloo asked Applebloom.
Scythe went over to the front door and set his saddlebag down.
Scootaloo and Applebloom ran upstairs, Scythe followed. They found Sweetie Bell was waiting nervously for her friends.
"Hey Sweetie Bell, this is Scythe. Scythe this is Sweetie," Scootaloo introduced.
Scootaloo leaned into Sweetie's ear. "Scythe is Applebloom's special somepony," she whispered.
Applebloom tensed up. "Hey! I heard that!" Applebloom said accusingly.
Scythe looked around the room.
"Hey, Applebloom?" Scythe asked.
"Yeah Scythe?"
"Ms. Cheerilee said that I need to start tutoring you, or you'll fail." Scythe looked at her and frowned.
Applebloom put a hoof on his shoulder. "That's fine. I'd rather tutor with ya than fail class. There would be too much drama."
"You guys don't mind?" Scythe asked Sweetie and Scootaloo.
"It's fine," Scootaloo responded, as the two giggled.
Scythe went out of the room, going downstairs, and got his saddlebag.
He trotted back up the stairs and sat the bag on the bed.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell walked out of the room. Taking residence in the room next to it.
"Sorry, but I don't want ya to fail. You know?" Scythe said.
Applebloom smiled. "Oh it's fine."
Scythe opened one of the books. The one labeled algebra.
~~~~
Scythe explained the main points of algebra, and started to solve algebraic equations with her.
Applebloom was confused, "But if a=z, what does b equal?"
Scythe sighed, "How about we just go over some simple equations?"
Applebloom nodded and watched as Scythe got up to grab a different book.
Scythe didn't notice his journal, falling out of his bag while he was getting out another math book.
"Okay let's start."
So, Scythe explained some more simple and then more complex versions of Algebra.
~~~~
It took a couple tries, but Applebloom finally understood the basis of the subject.
"So we will study more at my house tomorrow. If that's fine with you." Scythe suggested.
Applebloom directed her attention to Scythe, "Fine by me."
Scythe took a glance at what she had been looking at... It was his journal. He thought, and decided he might try something.
Scootaloo and Sweetie came back into the room. "Hey you guys done yet?"
Scythe looked at Applebloom and then back at the pegasus. "Yeah, we have some free time now." Scythe chuckled a bit. "If you excuse me, I have to go to the restroom."
"The bathroom is the third door on the left." Sweetie directed.
Scythe trotted to the bathroom.
Scootaloo directed to her attention to the small paperback journal on the floor.
"What's this?" Scootaloo picked the book up. "Scythes Journal," A devious smile came across the pegasus's face. "Wanna read it?" She asked Applebloom.
"What?! Scoot you know that's wrong. You sound like Diamond Tiara, saying things like that." Applebloom lashed, snatching the book out of Scootaloo's hooves. "You wouldn't read my journal would you?"
"Maybe," Scootaloo joked.
Applebloom rolled her eyes. She stared at the book for a moment. Her curiosity was peaked.
"Maybe just a peak..." Applebloom carefully opened the book.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell trotted to her side and she started to read a section of it.
"Well today wasn't my day by any standards. I had a black out in class. Though, I did meet a pretty cute mare, Applebloom.
She seemed nice, I pretty much liked her from the moment we met. Not just like, I mean really like.
Her country accent, the way she moves....
What am I saying? She probably doesn't like me, not as much as I like her anyway."
Applebloom blushed as she read a couple more sections.
She quickly closed the book. "Okay girls, fun's over," she said. Her face a dark crimson.
"Aww, come on." Sweetie said with great disappointment.
"I knew it!" Scootaloo said excitedly. Bragging to her friends for being right. "I knew he liked you AB."
"Who likes her?" The three froze solid when they heard Scythe.
He walked into the room. He saw Applebloom holding his personal journal.
"What... What are you doing with my Journal?" Scythe snatched the book out of Applebloom's hooves and put it back into his saddlebag.
The crusaders slowly drooped there heads out of embarrassment.
"I-I am s-sorry Scythe's it's just-" Scythe cut Applebloom off, "How much did you read?"
"The part where you, umm, talk about me..." Applebloom couldn't even look him in the eye, she was so embarrassed.
Scythe blushed and then facehoofed. "Well it was gonna come out sometime, I was just to much of a puss to say anything."
"Are you mad?" Applebloom asked.
A little pissed that her friends hadn't pitched in or apologized to Scythe yet.
"Mad? Now why would I be mad?"
"Well we all read something very personal of yours."
Applebloom continued to look at the floor, until Scythe picked her chin up with a hoof.
"What, you just thought that I didn't see my personal journal, that nopony had ever read before, just fall out of my saddlebag?" Scythe smiled and laughed.
"Wait, you meant for that to happen?" Applebloom looked into Scythe's eyes.
Sccotaloo and Sweetie Bell also looked at Scythe confused.
"Eeyup." He answered. "I know it's a bit unorthodox but it seemed to get the job done. Hehe, just thought I might try. I didn't exactly know if you really did like me, but I took the chance."
"I-I do actually..."
Applebloom thought to herself, seeing herself kissing the stallion in front of him. 'Do it! Do it!' her thoughts screamed.
Applebloom jutted her head towards Scythe. Their lips met and locked together in a kiss.
Scythe's eyes shot open. But then, they slowly started to close.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Bells' eyes widened. The sight took them by surprised. They were shocked.
Applebloom broke the kiss and looked at Scythe's face for a moment.
"Girls, can you help me with this?" She asked her friends.
The two mares looked at each other with a disgusted look.
"No, AB. We aren't into that kind of stuff." Scootaloo said.
"Not like that, sicko. I just think there is something wrong with Scythe." Applebloom said.
She pointed a hoof to the stallion that stood petrified.
Scythe had his eyes closed. He was acting as if the kiss hadn't stopped yet.
"Oh... Hehe that... Yeah I got that," Scootaloo said, walking over to the red stallion.
She raised her hoof and smacked him on the back of his head.
"Ow! what gives Scootaloo?!" Scythe yelled snapping out of his trance.
"Ya were over there acting like a damn fool," Applebloom said over Scootaloo's obnoxious laughter.
Scythe blushed. "Oh um, sorry," he apologized.
~~~~
"Ok Scythe your turn to pick."
Scythe put a hoof to his chin, deep in thought. "Pfft, this is a girls game I quit," he said, trying to act like he was too masculine to play the game.
"You're just saying that because you can't think of a good dare," Scootaloo accused, pointing a hoof at the red stallion.
Scythe was relieved of the orange filly's accusations when Rarity, opened the door and poked her head through.
"Time for bed Sweetie. Girls are you fine with Scythe sleeping in here? I really don't have room for him." Rarity said.
Sweetie smiled and practically squeaked out a "yes!"
Rarity's horn glowed and a blanket and small mattress was placed in the corner.
Scythe looked at them and then back at rarity. "Thank you, Miss Rarity." Scythe said.
He walked over to the mattress and plopped down. He was watching the fillies as the were huddled, as if on a hoofball team.
All of them looked to Scythe before giggling.
"Ok, what's up." Scythe demanded.
Simultaneously, the three fillies looked at him. After a moment went by, Sweetie spoke up. "Girl talk," she said.
Scythe rolled his eyes.
~~~~
Scootaloo and Scythe sat on the bed. He was watching Applebloom and Sweetie, style each other's manes.
Scootaloo already had hers done.
'She's kind of pretty with straight hair. Nothing on Applebloom though,' Scythe thought. He looked to Applebloom.
He didn't understand all of the feelings he had towards her, but he didn't question them.
Applebloom obviously liked him back. So, what was he worried about.
Scythe laid down on the pillow and started to drift off, leaving the mares to their gossip.
_______________________________
The next morning was very uneventful Scythe's mom had to work right after he returned home.
As a matter of fact the first thing she said to him was, "bye honey." Then walked out the door.
It was now midday and Scythe was laying on the couch crunching some potato chips in his mouth.
He sat up when he heard a knock at the door.
He walked over to it and opened it, finding a certain filly.
"Hey Applebloom," he said cheerfully. "Ready for your tutor session?"
Applebloom nodded and walked in. "Um, Scythe? Where do I put my books?"
"Just sit them on the couch."
Applebloom walked over to the couch and sat her saddlebags down.
She tried to suppress the nervous blush she knew she must have had on her face.
~~~~
Scythe and Applebloom sat side by side on the couch, studying a rather large math book.
Well Applebloom had her mind somewhere else. She couldn't focus. "Hey Scythe?"
"Yes, Applebloom?"
"Well it's just silly... But... Do you wanna... Um... Kiss?" Applebloom asked twirling a hoof on the ground. She was looking at the ground, trying not to let him see her blush. For some reason, she unable to meet his gaze.
"Sure," Scythe said. Much to Applebloom's astonishment.
Applebloom grew a wide smile and looked at him. Before she could do anything else, Scythe pressed his warm lips to hers.
She nearly squeaked with joy but stopped remembering her mouth was occupied.
She wrapped her hooves around him pulling him closer. Her lips parted.
Scythe took the invitation and lowly slid his tongue in her mouth. He the inside of her mouth, wrestling with his tongue.
They looked into each other's eyes and then started to close them. It felt like hours before Applebloom finally broke the kiss.
They once again locked gazes, panting heavily to gain back the breath they'd lost. A thin string of saliva still connected their mouths.
'Alright, just like Scoots told me,' she thought.
Applebloom pressed forward again and took Scythe by surprise. She pressed her lips to his again. The kiss though lasted not even a second though. Before she broke and kissed his cheek.
Scythe on the other hand was completely lost to the world. He was in a trance of some sort.
He didn't know what was going on or how Applebloom's kisses were traveling lower.
But them he felt something that sent shivers up his spine.
Applebloom kisses the tip of his erection.
Scythes gasped in a mix of emotions, shock being a big one.
"A-Applebloom? W-What are you doing?"
"Oh um, I-I guess I'm just curios," she said, looking up at him innocently.
Scythe opened his mouth to speak, but the words didn't come. Applebloom licked from the base of his sheath to the tip, silencing him.
Scythe decided to shut his mouth for once and just go with it.
Applebloom reached the tip and looked up at Scythe. He was lost.
She slid her mouth over the tip and started suckling on it.
Scythe gritted his teeth overjoyed from the pleasure her warm wet mouth was giving him.
Scythe reached a hoof down and petted her head. As soon as his hoof touch the back of her head she went lower.
The almost hot sensation of her warm throat enveloping his member. He gave a low grunt of pleasure. Scythe stroked Applebloom's blood red mane as she slowly bobbed her head.
She reached about half of his length before she had to pull back up again. She had never done this before, but she was enjoying herself.
Scythe reached another hoof down and slowly rubbed her back whilst the other hoof was petting her mane.
Applebloom coughed and quickly came up for air. She could tasted a faint hint of salt on her tongue as she started sucking on the tip.
Scythe enjoying every minute of it. Her warm mouth and the attention she was giving him was almost too much.
He released her and sat back on his hooves. Letting her do her duty.
Applebloom once again went down but this time she went further than halfway and almost reached the bottom. Until she started choking.
She pulled her head back up and completely off his rod.
She looked up at him with a very nervous, almost scared, look in her eye. She stood up and kissed him.
Scythe was surprised when she put a hoof to his chest and started to push.
He laid back against the couch as Applebloom started to climb over him.
She broke the kiss as she felt the tip of his member touch her marehood. She seemed to get more nervous then.
"Um...Scythe?"
Scythe looked up to her with her face sporting a color even more red than his coat. "Uh, yeah?"
"Well I've never did... this before so... would you, um... take it slow?" Applebloom asked.
Scythe nodded.
Applebloom shut her eyes tight as she started to lower herself on to him.
