Apples to Ashes

Dear Journal,

Sup. Its Scythe,
Yesterday was not my day by any means...
I met a mare named Applebloom, somehow she looked like the mare I had in my dreams...Which was odd.

But I emailed her askin' if she wanted to hang out... She had to comfort her friend...Speakin' of which I cannot beleive I liked Diamond Tiara... I mean I found out what she did and...Damn... That is just f'd up...

Anyway I am gonna hang out with a couple of my friends... Hopefully they don't fuck with me about this whole "Applebloom" thing....

But I guess thats life... Hm... It seems odd... That I now like a totally different mare than I did earlier in my life in Ponyville... It's still better than Manehatten and all that shitty drama.
Seeya.

Scythe walked to the pavilion where he was meeting some of his friends.
He was greeted by a gray scawny filly, Featherweight.

"Hey Scythe, how have you been?" Featherweight said expecting a certain answer from Scythe.

Scythe glared at his friend as he walked up to the center of the pavilion.
"Good."

Featherweight sighed, and smiled, "Who's this 'Applebloom' I've been hearing about?"

Scythe shook his head, "You really wanna go there?"

Featherweight nodded, "Yes, I do."

"She's just a mare I met nothing more."
Scythe looked around for anypony listening in.

"Just 'friends'?"
Featherweight said sarcastically.
He started to make out with the air behind Scythe, laughing.

Scythe turned around, "Well, last time I checked you haven't had a mare-friend in a while. So? Remember, Sweetie Crush."

Scythe laughed.

Featherweight stopped and frowned, "Hey! I thought you said you would never bring that up again... That was really embarrasing."

Scythe continued to laugh, "Yeah I know but, I can still see your face. And-"

"You little bucker. Don't you dare go there." Featherweight go serious.
Pointing a hoof towards Scythe.

Scythe stopped laughing, wiping a tear from his eye. "Okay, so. Whats the plan?"

Featherweight smiled and put out a map on the bench. "Okay so we start here. At the football field. Ya followin my here?"

Scythe nodded.

"Alright so then we move onto the back of the school, where the janitor's office is. That's where we get the water bucket. And did you bring the water balloons, for phase two?"
Featherweight looked at Scythe.
Scythe reached into his saddlebag and spread some water balloons out onto the bench.

"Good deal, next phase. Is to get the target with water balloons."

"Who's the target?" Scythe asked.

Featherweight looked up, to the other side of the field, seeing a group of mares.
"Them." He said pointing a hoof over to the group.

"Oh shit, thats-" Scythe remembered.

"Thats who, Scythe?" Featherweight asked puzzled.
"Oh nothing, so whats the next step?" Scythe said, quickly changing the subject.

"Alright, then we split up. You take the west side of the school and I take the east side. The others will take north and south. So you ready, to bring order back to Ponyville High School?" He shouted as he raised his hoof towards the sky, Scythe did the same.

"Yes. Lets do this." The two stallions said simultaniousely.

____________________________________________


They walked into the school with bandanas on, Scythe had on a black bandana, while Featherweight had on a yellow one.
Both had saddlebags full of water balloons.


Featherweight gave the signal to split up. Scythe saw a couple other stallions and mares, wearing bandanas split up as well. They all had earpeices, in case anything went wrong, with the operation.


Scythe ran into the gym and hid in a dark corner of the room and waited.
He heard a couple mares come into the gym as he prepared for the attack.

He knew the target, none other than, Diamond Tiara.

Scythe thought for a second...

I get back at Diamond for what she did to Sweetie Bell... Then not a lot of ponies would like Diamond anymore.. Its public humiliation time...

He stood up and got the attention of Diamond Tiara and a couple other mares with her.

He started to throw the balloons only try to make contact with Diamond Tiara.

"That's for Sweetie, you narsacistic bitch!"
Scythe yelled towards her as he ran out of the gym, Diamond was soaked with water, she didn't recognize his voice though.

Scythe laughed as he took off his bandana and headed for the exit as fast as he could, when static went through his earpiece.

"I need backeup... Anypony I need backup. NOW!"

Scythe recognized the voice as Featherweight's.

"Wait up Feather. I am coming. Location?"
Scythe asked as he ran down the school hallway.


Scythe rounded the corner, suddenly a mare stepped out in front of him, as he ran into her.

"Hey! Watch where ya goin'!" The mare yelled.

Scythe's eyes widened as he recognized the mare, as Applebloom.

"Scythe?"
Applebloom asked as she got up slowly.

"Uh..." Scythe quickly put his bandana back on and ran off.

"Hm.. that was weird."
Applebloom said puzzled.

"Come on Applebloom. Get back in here." Cheerilee called to Applebloom.

Applebloom sighed, "Yes ma'am."

Scythe ran to the location of Featherweight. Seeing a group of mares. Scythe hid behind a corner.
He breathed in heavily.


"Please don't do this." Featherweight pleaded.

"You know the punishment." Another voice said, angry.

Scythe rounded the corner, bandana around his snout and started throwing water balloons at his friend's attackers.
Successfully hitting a couple of them, the rest ran off.

Scythe walked up to Featherweight. Looked down on him.

"Scythe. I am sorr-" Featherweight tried to apologize, but Scythe intterupted.

"You almost gave away our identity." Scythe said, angry, as he untied his friend.

"I know..." Featherweight looked down at the ground. "Sorry."


Scythe walked Featherweight out of the closest exit.
As Scythe remembered his encounter with Applebloom, he smiled.
