Chapter 16
You walk upstairs to investigate the noise that you herd earlier. You hear three little voices come from a room.
You open the door to see three little fillies sitting in the middle of the room. One with a white coat with pink and purple hair, another had yellow fur and red hair, and the other you've known as Scootaloo.
The three filly's turn their heads towards you
"Hey Stargazer" Scootaloo says with a smile on her face
"You know him?" The white coated one says
"Yeah, he's Dash’s coltfriend"
"Oh right, Applejack told me that Rainbow had a coltfriend"
"What was that noise you made earlier?" you ask
"Well we were trying to get our cutie marks as stuntponys"
"And how did that go?" you say already knowing the answer
"Not very well" The white coated filly says "Wait. Where did my sister go? She the one, who was supposed to be watching us"
"Well your sister has gone to the spa with rainbow and-"
"What? Rainbow Dash would never go to the spa" Scootaloo says cutting you off
"I know, but it was Rarity's idea of calmer her down"
"So who’s keeping an eye on us?" the pink and purple maned one asks
"I am, it’s kinda of a favor for Rarity"
"Well now that we know who's looking after us. You need to leave" The yellow coated says walking up to you
"Why?" You ask
"That’s Cutie Mark Crusaders business" Scootaloo says
"Cutie mark what?"
"The Cutie Mark Crusaders" They all say in unison, in high pitch voices, that make you ears hurt
"It’s a club we made on getting our cutie marks"
"Right. Anyway I take it your Rarity's little sister" you say pointing to the white coated unicorn filly
"Yep, I'm Sweetie Belle"
"Nice to meet you Sweetie Belle and you must be Applejack’s sister"
The yellow filly nods her head
"I'm Apple Bloom"
"Nice to make your acquaintance"
"What does that mean?" Sweetie Belle asks
"It basically mean 'nice to meet you' but in more fancy way"
"Ohh"
"Now if ya'll excuse us Mister Stargazer, we need to get our cutie marks in back flipping" Apple Bloom says
"No, you are not doing that" You say
"Why not?" Scootaloo ask
"Because I have the job of keeping an eye on you, and I’m not going to let you hurt yourselves by doing some back flips"
"But-" they all say
"No buts"
"Fine" Scootaloo says sitting down and crossing her arms
"What do we do now?" Says sweetie belle
"Well instead of killing yourselves, how about we go to the park?" You suggest
"Yeah!" Says Sweetie Belle happily
"That's a great idea; maybe Stargazer could give me a lesson on flying" Says Scootaloo smiling at you
"Er Scootaloo" you say pointing to the bandage taped and rapped around your wings
"Ohh right"
"So, the park it is" Apple bloom says
The three fillies run out the room giggling and you hear them running down the stairs. You hear a thump from the floor below
"Oww" The three fillies say together
You chuckle to yourself as you walk out the room and down the stairs
You and the three fillies stand in the middle of the field
"So, what do you girls what to do?" you ask them
"How about we get our cutie marks in parachuting" Scootaloo suggests
"How are we going to parachute?" Sweetie Belle asks
"Maybe Star could lift us up and-"
You cough loudly getting their attention
"What?" Apple bloom says
"First thing, Scootaloo I can't fly at the moment" you say while looking at Scootaloo, "Second thing, how about NOT killing yourselves trying to get your cutie marks? Cause it's clear that it didn't get to you the first time I said it"
"Okay, so what do we do now?" Asks Sweetie Belle
"How about a game to hide and tag" You suggest
"Hide and what?" Apple Bloom asks
"Hide and Tag. It’s something my sister, my brother and I used to play when we were your age"
"Okay, how do we play?" Apple bloom says looking up at you
"Well the three of you hide while I count to 15, and I try and find you. If I find you, you have to run away from me, if you get away you have to hide again. But If I get you, you have to help me find the others" You explain "Got it?"
The three fillies nod
"Okay" You cover your eyes with your hoofs and start counting
"Wow she is one good hider" You say walking thought the park with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom
"Yeah, she always gets the good spots" says Sweetie Belle
"We've checked nearly every spot in the park, she can't be far" Says Apple Bloom looking up at every tree you walked past
"We've checked all the bushes, trees, flower beds and benches. Where else could she be?"
The three of you stand quietly and think
You notice a bush moving of in the distance with a small purple tail sticking out of it
"Follow me" You say a walking behind a tree
"What is it?" Sweetie Belle asks
"You see that bush over there" You say pointing to the bush
They both nod
"Well Scootaloo made a bush costume and she’s walking around"
"Clever" says Apple Bloom
"So what are we going to do?" asks Sweetie Belle
"Here's what where going to do, we are going to sneak up on her"
"How?"
"Well you see how she’s heading towards that tree over there?" You say pointing to the tree
"Oh, so we need to get there before she does" Says Sweetie Belle taking the words out of your mouth
You nod
"Now I'm relying on you two to catch her because my hooves feel like they’re going to give away if I run after her" you explain
They both nod with determination on their faces
"Let’s go"
The three of you sneak behind every tree and bush trying not to be seen by Scootaloo
Because Scootaloo was trying to blend into her surroundings, she had to stop nearly every two seconds, which made it easier for you, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom to get to tree before she does
You make it over to the tree and hide behind it hoping Scootaloo didn't see you
She moves closer to the tree, which means, she didn't see you
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle start to giggle a bit
"Shh" You say quietly "We don't want her to know we’re here" you say whispering to them
They cover their mouths and get ready to chase Scootaloo
As soon as Scootaloo gets close to the tree You, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jump out from behind the tree.
Scootaloo jumps out of her bush costume and starts to run.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and you run after her. You could’ve easily caught Scootaloo even with your damaged hooves but you always thought it was more fun chasing her.
The girls giggled as they ran, which brought a smile to your face and you laughed along with them.
Soon Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jump on Scootaloo bringing her to the ground.
The girls laugh while they lay on one another.
You tap Scootaloo on the head
"Got ya" you say
"Alright you win" she says
"Can we do another round? That was so much fun!" Sweetie Belle says getting off the ground and looking up at you
"Please" asks Apple Bloom
"Of course we can"
The three fillies faces light up with joy
"Now since I got Sweetie Belle first, she has to count" you say
"Okay" She covers her eyes with her hooves and start counting
You, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo run off in different directions
You sit in a ditch hiding from the Cutie Mark Crusaders
After a couple of minutes the bush starts to shake
You get yourself ready to run
Instead of three fillies coming out from the bush, a ferret jumps out and walks over to you
"Hey little guy" you say to it
The ferret wraps himself around your leg
"Aww he likes you" a soft voice says
You look up to see a yellow Pegasus with a smile on her face
"Hey Fluttershy, what brings you here?" you ask
"Well I was taking some of my animals back to my home, when Benny ran into the bushes"
"Benny?"
"The ferret"
Benny soon un-wraps himself from your leg and then looks up at you
"Oh right, Well I'll tell you something, he sure is cute" you say, patting Benny on the head
"What are you doing in here? If you don't mind me asking"
"Oh well I'm playing a game of Hide and Tag with the Cutie Mark Crusaders"
"Well that sounds nice"
"Oh can you do a favour for me?" You ask her
"Sure. What is it?"
"Well I need your help with-"
You hear three little voice getting closer
"Stay quiet" You say whispering to Fluttershy
The bushes start to shake
And three filly jump out
"There you are" Sweetie Belle says
"Get him" shouts Scootaloo
"Got to go, Talk to you later" you say to Fluttershy, jumping out of the ditch, vaulting over a bush and running thought the field
You don't run as fast as you usually do, because you want to give the crusaders a chance to catch you
As you run your hooves start to ache and you feel like you’re going to fall over. You manage to keep yourself from falling to the ground, but at this point the crusaders have managed to catch up to you.
You look behind you to see the crusaders just about to grab your tail. You swing your tail away from them and keep on running
You start to slow down because you want to get caught.
You get tackled to the ground by the three fillies who lay on top of you. They all giggle and you start to laugh with them because there laughs are so contagious
They get off you and you get back onto your hoofs
"Another round?" You ask them
They all nod their heads
"Alright, Sweetie Belle who did you get first?"
"Apple Bloom"
"Okay Apple Bloom-"
"Stargazer!" You hear a certain voice you know really well cutting you off
You turn around to see cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane standing in a position, like she going to charge at you
"You are SO dead" She shouts spreading her wings
"Uh Oh"
