//------------------------------// // One // Story: Cutie Mark Crusaders: Lemonade Sellers! Yay! // by destinedjagold //------------------------------// “There! All done!” Apple Bloom announced proudly as she jumped down to the sandy ground from the chair she was standing on to hammer their sign in place. She returned her hammer in her toolbox as Scootaloo walked beside her, who was staring at their little stand's sign. “The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Lemonade Stand!!” was written with black paint, barely fitting the small piece of wood. “That looks awesome, Apple Bloom!” Scootaloo said genuinely, her buzzing wings momentarily lifted her off the ground for a couple of inches. “Aw, shucks... It was nothin',” Apple Bloom threw a hoof in the air to dismiss the compliment. “Did ya get the things we need for our lemonade stand?” “Yup!” Scootaloo replied with a big smile as she and Apple Bloom turned back and saw a scooter with a red toy wagon attached at the back of the vehicle. The wagon was filled with a blender, a box of small knives, an empty jar, a box of glasses, and other things. “Great!” Apple Bloom nodded with a smile. “Now all we need is—” “I'm here~!” Sweetie Belle sang as she arrived, pulling a blue toy-wagon. Inside were two large transparent jars of lemons and a few jars of sugar. “Sorry if it took me long, girls,” she said as she pulled her wagon beside the red toy wagon. “Rarity took a while to get ready to go to the marketplace with me...” she rolled her eyes to add more emphasis. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo giggled. “It's all right, Sweetie Belle,” Apple Bloom said, “in fact, we just finished setting up everything.” “Well, not everything...yet.” Scootaloo waved a hoof at the wagon. “But we'll get there soon enough!” Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded. They then leaned down close to the ground, and leaped in the air. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS: LEMONADE SELLERS! YAY!!!”
