//------------------------------// // Chapter 7.67: Intervension 2 The Only One Officially Punished // Story: The Violet Strike, Spike // by DreamyBlaze //------------------------------// Same day Spike went to visit Zecora... At the CMC clubhouse, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara are currently discussing why Gunvolt would want to talk to them.  Actually, everyone are there to discuss about Gunvolt. Diamond Tiara was only there because she followed Silver. After they found out how much of a fan girl Diamond was for Gunvolt, everyone made a bow to avoid the topic of Gunvolt if she was around. “Does anyone else here had a nightmare about how Diamond acted yesterday?” asked Applebloom in secret as to not hurt Diamond's feelings. They managed to get her distracted by telling her that they wanted her help at making a poster of Gunvolt for their clubhouse. She bought it. “Yes and I thought we wouldn’t talk about it.” said Sweetie shivering at the memory of the out of character Diamond. “Anyway, what do you think Gunvolt will talk to us about?” said Silver. “I’m pretty sure he said only me, Applebloom and Scootaloo would talk with him.” said Scootaloo.  “What will he talk about though?” “What if he is going to tell us who he really is!” said Applebloom.  “Or, or, or what if he is going to wants us to be heroes with him! We are just as famous as our sisters now." “Two things Applebloom.  One, most likely his name really is Gunvolt and two, why would he wants to have ponies that have nothing to do with him to help him out? I doubt he ponies he risked his life to safe to be in constant danger.” said Sweetie. "You never know." said Applebloom. "True. Anyway, another idea for Gunvolt coming here maybe to either tells us where he lives or that he wants to use the clubhouse as temporary home." said Silver. "What if he wants to send us to some sort of quest that only we can do!" exclaimed Applebloom. She was slowly become more and more excited at the idea of a superhero coming to visit her and her friends. No one noticed the fact that Diamond was listening to the conversation. "Nothing can be hidden away from when it's about Gunvolt... because he said it out loud when he mention the visit." whispered Diamond. It was plain to see that she had some sort of plan. If you looked at her eyes, you would see the eyes of a hunter... Applebloom had returned home after talking with the other Crusaders.  She was really happy since the meeting was both a huge success and a lot of fun.  But all the fun died when she saw Applejack at the front door with a look she did not recognize. “Applebloom, a little birdy told me that you did something stupid.” said Applejack. Everything in Applebloom told her to lie but then she remembered the story about Applejack lying going out of control she decided to tell a truthful answer instead “...Yes?” Applejack was caught off guard but she didn’t show it. “Yeah, Twilight told me you got attacked by a Giant Timberwolf and only made it out alive because of Gunvolt so you are so grounded.”  After saying that, Applejack gave Applebloom a bear hugged.  “Please be more careful you are the only sister I have and I don't want to lose you.” Applebloom would of have been moved the statement if she wasn't being slowly being suffocated. "Uncle, uncle!" said Applebloom while tapping her sister three times. Applejack realized she was accidentally suffocating her sister so with a sheepish smile, she let her go. “Thank you for worrying sis. The Timberwolves attacking us was an accident we didn't plan for at all.  A better question is why did Twilight take so long to tell you?” asked Applebloom. “She wanted to know why Giant Timberwolf exist as well as researching what makes Gunvolt so special.” said Applejack.  “She said she was very sorry for that.  She even told me all that happen and all she learned.” “Fell asleep at the second half?” asked Applebloom. “Almost but the fact that someone with magic that cannot be explained with the normal magic rules. To be honest, it scares me a bit since it feels like that guy is going to attract a lot of unwanted trouble.” said Applejack. "That is something to worry about now that I think about it..." though Applebloom. She never thought of the possibility that Gunvolt would want to be with them just to cause trouble. “...You are still grounded though.” said Applejack after a moment of silence. “Darn.” said Applebloom being caught trying to distract her sister from her grounding.
