Applejack, Granny, and Big Mac had already woken up. With a call from downstairs, Apple Bloom was awake, too. She got up, and went down the stairs. She could already smell the pancakes Applejack were making. She sat at the dinner table and stretched. After she stretched, her whole family stared at her with wide eyes. "What? Do Ah have somethin' on mah face?" Apple Bloom asked search her face with her hooves. "How exactly did you come down all by yourself?" Applejack asked, placing the pancakes on the table. "Like Ah always do, walk down- OH MY CELESTIA! AH'M HEALED!" Apple Bloom beamed. She began jumping up and down with excitement. She couldn't wait to tell her friends! She took her show and tell project and her lunch and ran out the door. Apple Bloom looked down at her hoof and saw the bracelet shinning in the sunlight. "Maybe the charm Sweetie Belle gave me has to do with my healing," Apple Bloom thought to herself. Without knowing, Apple Bloom ran into the school house with a thud! She shook her head and was helped up by her friends who saw everything. How'd Ah get here so fast?" Apple Bloom asked herself. "Apple Bloom, are you alright?" Sweetie Belle asked, dusting her friend off. "Yeah, Ah'm alright. But I got some good news! Look!" Apple Bloom stood up and walked around. "And Ah think it has to do with the charm you gave me!" "Oh my Celestia! Your healed! I can't believe it! I thought you wouldn't be healed till next month!" Sweetie Belle squeaked. All Scootaloo could do was mumble on how that was impossible and call in for a group hug. After the group hug, the bell rang. They ran inside, excited for the show and tell. Scootaloo went up first. She showed a picture of RainbowDash that was signed by her and explained why she loved it. Diamond Tiara was next and brought a whole bag of bits. "The reason why I brought this is to show some fillies what money looks like, since they don't have it!" Diamond Tiara giggled. Now it was Sweetie Belle's turn. She brought her own personal microphone set and explained why she brought it. It was finally Apple Bloom's turn. She walked up and showed a picture of her parents, Bright Mac and Pear Butter. She explained what they used to do together but didn't tell the class where they were. After everypony went up, it was lunchtime. "Ugh, why did you bring a picture of your mom and dad! That's so lame!" Diamond Tiara laughed as she walked up to the CMC, Silver Spoon following. "Because Ah can!" Apple Bloom yelled. But this only made Diamond angry. No pony ever yelled at her without getting something in return, and she wanted it to stay that way. "Gimme that!" Diamond Tiara snatched the picture right out of Apple Bloom's grasp. She crumpled it up so it would be easier to throw to her friend. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon kept tossing it around, laughing whenever the CMC missed. "Give it back!" Apple Bloom shouted, holding back her tears. Finally Diamond Tiara got bored of just tossing it around and ripped it, each piece falling to the ground as Apple Bloom watched in horror. It felt like someone had just ripped her own heart in pieces and stomped on it a million times. She couldn't hold her tears anymore, they flowed down nonstop. She gathered all the pieces and held them close to her chest. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had never seen Apple Bloom cry this much, and just for a picture? "Stop being so dramatic, Apple Bloom! It's just a dumb old picture!" Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. "And you're just a STUPID BRAT!" Apple Bloom shot at her. Everypony had already huddled around as soon as Diamond started to throw the picture and gasped at what Apple Bloom had said. Apple Bloom would never say something like that, even her friends knew she wouldn't say that. "Oh! I am hurt!" Diamond Tiara said sarcastically. "Apple Bloom, did you really think that will hurt me?" "No, but do you know what will?" Apple Bloom asked staring at the pieces in her hooves. "What?" "A BUCKIN' PUNCH TO YOUR FACE!" And without any warning, Apple Bloom swung her hoof and punched Diamond Tiara on her cheek. Apple Bloom huffed as she stared at her enemy's red cheek. Diamond Tiara spat something out of her mouth on her hoof and observed it before gasping. "That's my favorite tooth!" Every word that came out of her mouth just made Apple Bloom practically steam with anger. She tried to punch her again, but Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo held her back while Silver Spoon comforted her crying friend. "Apple Bloom! I know we don't like her, but straight up punching her is crossing the line!" Scootaloo said to her friend who was trying to break free from their grasps. "AH DON'T CARE! NOW LET ME GO SO AH CAN GIVE HER WHAT SHE DESERVES!" Apple Bloom yelled at the top of her lungs. Ms. Cheerilee had came running out when she heard Apple Bloom yell. "Alright! Alright! What's going on!" Ms. Cheerilee shouted. "Apple Bloom"- Diamond Tiara pointed in the direction of Apple Bloom -"punched me!" Apple Bloom got annoyed by Diamond's hoof right in her face, so she did something that would get her in really big trouble. She bit Diamond Tiara's hoof. Diamond Tiara let out a scream so loud that it was capable of not only breaking glass, but pony brains, too. ________________________________________________________________________________ "Ah'm truly sorry Ms. Cheerilee. She is usually well behaved! Ah just don't know what has gotten into her," Applejack apologize. "Me neither but she will have to be suspended for two weeks," Ms. Cheerilee informed. Applejack sighed and took Apple Bloom back to the barn. Once they got to the barn, Applejack demanded for Apple Bloom to go to her room. "You're grounded for two weeks!" Applejack yelled, pointing to the stairs. Apple Bloom growled as she stomped upstairs, purposely making loud noises as she went up. Applejack sat down on the couch with a thump and held her head in her hooves, massaging her head. Granny Smith had just came back from grocery shopping and heard somepony talking to themselves. "Why's Apple Bloom home so early?" Granny Smith asked as she placed the groceries down on the dinner table. "She got in a fight with Filthy Rich's daughter, Diamond Tiara," Apple sighed Before Granny Smith could as any further questions, their was a knock on the door. Applejack groaned and hoped it was just one of her friends who came to meet her, but no. It was Spoiled Rich and Diamond Tiara. Spoiled Rich looked angrier than ever and Diamond Tiara had a bruise on her cheek, and a bandage wrapped around her right hoof. "Hello Spoiled Rich! What a lovely day we're having," Applejack greeted with the best fake smile she could pull. "May we have a chat, which your daughter included?" Spoiled Rich asked, glaring into Applejack's eyes. "You mean my sister, Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked. "Yes, your sister" "Let me just call her. APPLE BLOOM! COME DOWNSTAIRS!" Applejack called, waiting for her sister to come down. Finally she heard some stomping and saw an angry filly staring deep into Diamond's eye. "She's here, so what did you want to talk about?" Applejack inquired. "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT! I WANT TO KNOWS WHY YOUR DAU-SISTER HURT MY LITTLE ANGEL!" Spoiled Rich furiously shouted in Applejack's face. "Okay, okay. Apple Bloom, why did you punch Diamond Tiara?" "And bite!" Spoiled Rich added. "BITE!? You bit her? Apple Bloom, you never told me that!" Applejack yelled. All Applejack got in response was a grumble. Apple Bloom then started to walk upstairs to get something. "Hey! We're you goin'!" "Ah'm goin' to show you why Ah did all of that!" Applejack groaned. She had to be alone with Spoiled Rich, who was staring into her soul, and her daughter. There was an awkward silence between them until Apple Bloom came down with a torn picture in her mouth. Applejack saw the picture and gasped. "Apple Bloom! Why did you rip it! That was the only one we had left of them!" Applejack felt as if she had just became a ball of anger. "Ah didn't do it! Diamond did it! She took it out of my hoof, crumpled it, and started throwing it! A-And after that, she ripped it!" Apple Bloom began sobbing into Applejack's side. "Why is she crying so much! It's just a picture!" Spoiled Rich asked, scrunching her muzzle at the crying filly. "This is a picture of our parents! And they died when we were young!" Applejack whispered harshly into Spoiled's ear. "Wow they couldn't even take care of themselves? Pathetic!" Spoiled Rich laughed. But before she could say anything else, Applejack slammed the door into her face. She took that as a sign to get of their property or else Applejack might buck her to next Hearts Warming Eve. She ordered Diamond Tiara to follow her back home, keeping her head high. Meanwhile, Applejack soothed Apple Bloom down and patted her on her back. "Ah know she ripped the picture of Ma and Pa, but would they be happy if they found out one of their daughters were bitin' other ponies?" Applejack asked in a voice that was supposed to make Apple Bloom scared of her, but calmed her down even more. Apple Bloom shook her head in response. She told Apple Bloom to go to her room, since she was still grounded, while she worked on the farm with Big Mac. After a few more hours, it was three o'clock. Apple Bloom could hear the faint sound of fillies running outside, cheering that school was over for the day. She was sad that her friends couldn't come over because she was grounded, so she decided to draw to pass time. It was getting hotter and hotter every minute. Apple Bloom tried everything to cool herself down, but nothing was working. She continued drawing, and out of nowhere, she began cooling down. But random droplets of water were falling on her drawing. She looked in the mirror and saw her tongue was sticking out of her mouth. Apple Bloom quickly slurpped her tongue back in her mouth and wiped mouth. She shrugged it of for to being so hot that she had to try a completely different technique to cool her self down. She looked at the drawing and smiled. She had drawn a replica of the picture Diamond Tiara ripped. She hugged it tight and hung it on the wall.
