//------------------------------// // Unraveling Friendship // Story: The Apple of Justice // by Duke of Canterlot //------------------------------// As Apple Bloom spiraled deeper into her dark obsession, her friends started to notice a change in her. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle tried to talk to her, but Apple Bloom brushed them off, determined to continue her mission. One day, Apple Bloom overheard some ponies gossiping about a particularly cruel bully named Razor Wind. She decided that he would be her next target. However, in her haste, she failed to notice that Scootaloo had been listening in on her conversation. Scootaloo couldn't believe her ears. She knew she had to talk to Sweetie Belle about Apple Bloom's troubling behavior. Together, the two friends resolved to confront Apple Bloom and find out the truth. When they confronted Apple Bloom, she reluctantly admitted to using the Death Note to punish wrongdoers. Her friends were horrified. Sweetie Belle gasped, "Apple Bloom, this is not what friendship is about! You can't play judge, jury, and executioner!" Scootaloo added, "We need to find a way to fix this, Apple Bloom. We can't let you keep using that book!"
