Chapter 3

"So what are we gonna do now Applebloom?" the pegasus asked as she stopped in front of the bounding filly, brushing up a cloud of dirt. "Well, were gonna get buildin' this thing! It's the best part of it all! And the most fun!" She answered eagerly. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo moaned, "That doesn't sound to fun," Sweetie Belle complained, "It just sounds like more work, "Scootaloo added.

The yellow filly ignored her friends and raced off, the other two shrugged and trailed behind her. Applebloom darted though thick brush, and slowed as she entered a large clearing. With only a small picnic table, it was well-kept and tidy. "Whoa," Scootaloo exclaimed, taking in the view, "This place is gorgeous! "Sweetie Belle squealed, "This is mah secret clearing," Applebloom explained, "Ah come here if ah wanna be alone or somethin'," She continued, "But... don't tell anypony about it." The filly pleaded, "My family don't even know about it," She finished.

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle trotted around the clearing with wide eyes, taking in their beautiful surroundings. Meanwhile, Applebloom scooted the picnic table off to the side, and laid out the bag of supplies onto the tabletop. "So Applebloom," Sweetie Belle started, "How'd you even find this place?" She asked with curious eyes.

"Well, ah was just explorin' Sweet Apple Acres several months ago, and ah came to this really, really, really pretty place! And nothin' was wrong with it, not a single weed even! So ah built mahself a picnic table out here, so if ah wanted to be alone, ah'd just come sit at mah table. And it's really far away from the barn, so nopony could find it." Applebloom explain proudly.

"Wow Applebloom," Scootaloo stated, "That must have taken forever! You have some dedication for a filly like yourself," Applebloom blushed, "Not some dedication, a lotta dedication!" Sweetie Belle squeaked. "Well thanks guys, that means a lot to me," Applebloom said shyly.

After a few minutes of talking, the group decided on a plan, including Scootaloo's scooter, the clearing, and Big Mac. The pegasus rushed off to get her vehicle, and Sweetie Belle raced after Big Mac, and during that time, Applebloom drew out a blueprint. The clearing would be Applebloom's construction site temporarily.

After the friends returned with Big Mac and a scooter, Applebloom explained what was going to happen next.
