	"No! You are not going to do whatever you like because your older!"

Applejack said a few minutes after she caught Applebloom coming home hours after curfew:

"Says you AJ! You did the same thing 5 years ago!"

"That was different!"

"No it wasn't, you wanted to see your friends after curfew and you got away with it!"

Applejack then sat down on one of the chairs in the dining room:

"I may have Applebloom but that doesn't mean I'll let you do the same thing!"

"And why not? Because your afraid something might happen to me? 

I can take care of myself, how many times do I have to say that?"

"Until you live on your own! And another thing..."

Applebloom then turned away from her sister and ran upstairs:

"Don't you turn your back on me sis', your still my responsibility!"

"Whatever!" 

Applebloom said as she ran up the stairs towards her room:

As Applebloom was walking towards her room her brother Big Mac walked out of his room with a cold look on his face:

"Your late again?"

Applebloom then looked at her big brother; bored:

"Yeah so?"

"This is the 3rd time this month you've done this! You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Applebloom then looked at her brother; annoyed:

"Shut up Mac! Your not the boss of me, I can do whatever ah' want!"

"What's with you Applebloom, you were never like this when you were younger; most of the time."

"Times changed Mac, learn it."

Applebloom then walked towards her room slamming the door behind her. 

After a few minutes Applejack then walked up the stairs being met with Big Mac:

"Did she get upset with you to?" Big Mac nodded his head:

"Eeyup."

Applejack then turned towards her little sisters room:

"I swear one of these days she'll cause a lot more trouble than she already has."

Big Mac then turned to his sister:

"Give it time AJ, one day she'll learn to control herself."

"Yeah, I just hope that she'll learn before she ends up like her friend Scootaloo; 

community service for 2 months after abuse to an officer of the law and flying under the influence of alcohol."

"You are right Applejack." Said Big Mac facing Applebloom's door again:

"In the meantime though I think we just need some rest, everything will be better in the morning."

Applejack then faced her brother:

"I guess your right Mac." The two then walked towards their rooms to retire for the night. 

The next day, Applebloom walked down stairs and was walking towards the door until she was stopped by Applejack:

"And where do you think you going?"

"Out."

"Out where?"

"To Ponyville, I'm heading to Rarity's to see Sweetie Belle."

"Not until you apologize for last nights incident."

"Me?"

Applejack then shook her head:

"If you want to go, I want to hear an apology."

"Fine, whatever, I'm sorry."

"I want a better apology then that."

"I'm really sorry then, can I go now?"

AJ then sighed and pointed towards the door:

"Fine, just go."

Applebloom then ran towards the door and headed straight for Ponyville. 

Upon arriving Applebloom bumped into Scootaloo:

"Hey Scoot's, how are ya'"

"Fine, just heading to Sweetie Belles."

Applebloom then smiled:

"That's where I was heading to."

"Ironic. Let's go!"

After arriving at Rarity's Sweetie Belle left the Boutique slamming the door behind her. 

After a few seconds Rarity then opened the door:

"And don't come back until you start behaving like a true lady! You got that?"

Sweetie then turned towards Rarity:

"Whatever!"

Applebloom and Scootaloo then ran up towards Sweetie Belle to see what the matter was:

"What's wrong Sweetie?" Applebloom asked:

"Nothing." 

"Well that certainly didn't look like nothing." Scootaloo added:

"It's not important okay?" Sweetie Belle then sped up towards Ponyville with the two others behind her:

"Where are we going Sweetie?" Scootaloo asked:

"Sugarcube corner."

"Oh, okay." Applebloom added.

After a few minutes the three mares then walked into Sugarcube corner, being greeted by Pinkie:

"Hey guys! What can I get you three?"

"Three root beer floats please." Sweetie Belle said:

"Anything else?"

"No." 

"Okay then one second." Pinkie then walked into the kitchen as the three were finding a place to sit:

"Are you okay Applebloom?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yeah. It's just I had another fight with Applejack that's all."

"Again?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"That's like the third or fourth time this month." Scootaloo added.

"I know, the reason why is because Applejack is so protective, I'm 18 now and she still treats me like a baby."

"Three floats!" Pinkie said.

Sweetie Belle then got up and walked over to get the drinks. 

After a few seconds Sweetie then came back with the drinks and gave each one to her friends:

"How bad was it this time?" Scootaloo asked.

"Not as bad as the last few."

"Well that's good." Sweetie added.

"Now that you heard my story, tell us, What happened at Rarity's?" Applebloom asked; 

Sweetie Belle then sighed:

"Alright I'll tell you guys."

"Alright shoot." Scootaloo said.

"It happened this morning. 

Rarity had caught me kissing that boy she said was of no good."

"Oh the guy from the Everfree radio station?" Applebloom asked:

"Yeah.."

Scootaloo then interrupted Sweetie's story:

"He's cute." Applebloom then shook her heard in agreement: 

"Anyway! after he had left Rarity confronted me about what I was doing, 

I told her and she got all mad at me, I threw one of the Mannequins across the room and I walked out on her."

"Anything before you walked out?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well before I left she started telling me that my cutie mark was not a; Go Against Your Only Sisters Wishes Mark, 

but a bell for my singing talent." 

Scootaloo looked at Sweetie Belle confused:

"That's it?" Sweetie nodded her head.

"Well that was interesting." Applebloom added. Scootaloo then got up from her seat:

"I'm bored wanna do something?"

Applebloom then looked at Scootaloo as did Sweetie Belle:

"Like what?" Sweetie Asked.

"I don't know, maybe the forest."

"What's there to do in the forest?" Applebloom asked.

"We can go adventuring; Fight cool looking monsters."

"It sounds like fun." Sweetie Belle added:

"Alright then, let's go." Applebloom said:

In the forest the three were walking through the trail trying to look for something fun to do:

"There's nothing to do out here, I thought we were looking for monsters and stuff." Said Sweetie belle:

"There has to be something out here to do." Scootaloo added.

After a few minutes the three then heard a strange noise coming from the cave in front of them:

"Did you guys hear that?" Asked Sweetie Belle: 

"Yeah." Applebloom added:

"I think it came from the cave over there." Said Scootaloo:

"Well then. Let's go and see what it was." Sweetie Belle added.

Upon arriving at the cave the noise grew louder and louder. A few seconds later the noise stopped:

"That's weird." Said Sweetie Belle:

"Your right. Let's go in anyway:" Scootaloo added walking towards the cave:

"Right behind you." Applebloom added:

"Wait for me. I need to use the light spell to see better." Sweetie added:

"Your right." Scootaloo added.

Upon arriving at he cave Sweetie Belle used her magic to cast a light so the others and her can see better.

After a few minutes the sound started again:

"Wheres the sound coming from Sweetie?" Asked Scootaloo:

"Well it sounds like snoring to me." Explained Sweetie Belle:

"But from wha..." Said Applebloom until bumping into the beast; 

It was a Dragon that had now awoken since Applebloom bumped into it:

"Um guys?" Applebloom said:

"What do we do?" Asked Sweetie:

"I know...RUN!!" Said Scootaloo flying away as fast as she could. 

The other two then followed her as the Dragon was beginning to chase them. 

After a few minutes the three finally made it out of the forest:

"Did we loose it?" Asked Applebloom. Scootaloo then turned towards the forest:

"Yeah. But wasn't that awesome though?" Asked Scootaloo. 

Sweetie Belle then turned towards her:

"By awesome you mean; Getting chased in the forest by a huge Dragon then yes it was awesome."

Applebloom then looked up at the sky:

"Wow it's night already?" Asked Applebloom.

Scootaloo then turned towards Applebloom:

"I guess so." 

Sweetie Belle then turned towards Scootaloo:

"How long were we in there anyway?" Asked Sweetie Belle:

"Beats me." Scootaloo then yawned:

"Well I'm tired. See you guys later." Said Scootaloo as she was flying away:

"I'm a little beat too. See ya Applebloom." Said Sweetie Belle walking towards Rarity's:

"Bye guys!" Applebloom said; She too then walked towards her house. 

Upon arriving at the farm Applebloom was met by a very upset Applejack:

"What were you doing at the forest Applebloom?" Asked Applejack:

"How did you find out?" 

"Pinkie Pie told me where you were. 

I didn't want to go and get you so I just stayed here so I can talk to you.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you never to go in the Everfree forest; it's dangerous."

Applebloom the rolled her eyes:

"It's not like I've never been it the forest before." Applejack then sighed:

"That was before Zecora moved." Applejack added:

"And now that she's gone I can't go in?" Asked Applebloom, Applejack then nodded:

"That's right." 

Applebloom the then turned away:

"And this is the reason I argue with you; You always treat me like a baby, 

I can never do what I want without getting in trouble.." 

Applejack then cut Applebloom off:

"Let me just stop ya' their sis' because I don't let you do what you want because; 

One your still young and Two it's a dangerous world out there and I'm not letting you get hurt!"

Applebloom then rolled her eyes:

"Are you just saying that because your stressed out because you want to sleep with Rainbow..."

SMACK!

Applebloom then fell to the ground after being struck by her sister. 

The sound was so loud Big Mac ran down stairs to see what the problem was:

"What happened?" Asked Big Mac:

Applejack then gasped after what she did:

"A..Applebloom..I..I'm."

Applebloom then got up. After a few seconds tears started to form in her eyes, 

she then looked at her sister:

"Y..You hit me.."

Applejack then started to walk towards her sister:

"A..Applebloom..I..I didn't.." Applejack was then cut off by Applebloom:

"You hit me." Applebloom was then starting to turn angry. 

After a few seconds she then started to walk backwards; getting away from her sister:

"Applebloom please.." Applejack was then cut off again:

"Buck you." 

Applejack then gasped. Applebloom then said it again:

"Buck all y'all! I hope to never see you two again!"

Applebloom then ran towards the door, running towards the mountains:

"Applebloom wait!" Applejack screamed after running out of the house:

"I..I'm sorry." 

Tears then started to form in her eyes just as her big brother came from behind her and hugged her:

"It's okay Applejack. It was an accident. Knowing her she'll be back soon."

"I can't believe I hit her though."

"She'll be back AJ, I hope."
