Applebloom watched her older sister face all the backlash from her plan, a frown on her face.
Is this right? Sunset is the one who deserves this...
No, don't worry, she'll get the consequences soon.
With another small smirk, she took her books and went to class.
All of the Rainbooms were waiting for their friend Applejack as she hadn't arrived yet, most probably to the teasing she had to endure. Luckily, they had most of their classes with the farmer, yet they didn't have their last class with her, so they didn't know when she was going to arrive. However, Applejack walked through the cafeteria doors and headed immediately to their table, amist laughter and snickering.
"Hello, darl-" Rarity stopped abruptly when she saw the downcast look for her secret admirer friend.
"Are they still teasing you?" Sunset asked.
"...yes.."
Applejack looked at all of her friends, then asked, "What am I supposed ta do? I donno how ta stand thier teasin' any longer!
"AJ, listen to me."
Applejack looked at the fiery-haired girl. "Ye?"
"Look, ignoring whatever they say is a bad idea, as they'll just comeback for more. Instead, act like nothing's bothering you, and repeat it when they say something like 'Oh look Piggly-Wiggly' or something like that. When they see that your clearly not bothered by their teasing, they'll leave you alone."
It took a few seconds for Sunset to realize that everybody at the table was staring at her. "What?"
"That was.. very, um, deep." Fluttershy said. "Have you been, bullied befor-"
"No!" she said loudly, and everyone jumped. "I mean, -sorry Flutters- but, no."
"Oh, It's ok" Fluttershy mumbled.
"I'm sorry." Sunset, slightly ashamed.
"No, it's fine!"
"Ok, ok."
Sunset then turned to Applejack. "Did you get what I said?"
The blond girl nodded. "I understood."
"Good, because they won't bother you if your not bothered."
"I'll try mah best." Applejack said in her country accent. " It'll be good when this is finally over."
Applebloom went to the cafeteria and frowned immediately when she saw Sunset with her sister. Again!
Ugh, this is annoying! But she will pay for all the pain and blackmail she's caused.
She turned away from them and went to the usual spot for the Crusaders, where Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were already sitting, with their lunches. Applebloom stopped and frowned again.
Should I tell them about Anon-A-Miss?
Maybe, but not yet.
She went to her table, and overheard their conversation;
Sweetie said, "I really wish Rarity took me to the park yesterday! But she had to go away because of Sunset..."
"But Sunset's really nice!" Scootaloo insisted. "And it's not a crime to hang out with your friends, after all."
"You're right. I shouldn't be jealous. I just wish she would spend more time with me..."
"I know. But she will, she always does. Hey, how about you ask her to go out this evening?"
"Scootaloo, that's an awesome idea ! We could maybe go to Sugarcube Corner, or a fancy restuarant, or-"
"Ya won't be able tha."
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked up to see the leader of the Crusaders, Applebloom.
"What do you mean, I won't be able to go with Rarity outside? And did you eavesdrop?" Sweetie asked, offended.
"Ya, sorry bout' dat." Applebloom plopped to her seat. "But today they're havin' a sleepover, I think."
"How do you know?" Scootaloo asked, stunned.
"Mah sis said that this week she won't be home for the evenin' anymore until our Christmas Party. And I overheard her talkin' to her friends about ah sleepover today."
