//------------------------------// // It'll Be Okay // Story: The Same Mistake // by A-Pie-Flying //------------------------------// “Is she going to be alright?” “I don't know.” “What do you mean you don't know?!” “Nurse Redheart said she have a slight chance to stay alive.” “Arghhhh!!! It wouldn't have happened if I didn't argue with Applebloom!” Few hours ago... “Oh hey, Applebloom!” Scootaloo waved at her friend who is passing by with Sweetie Belle. Both of them waved back at Scootaloo. “Are we doing any crusading today?” Scootaloo asked as she followed them. “Ah'm not so sure.” Applebloom replied. “We haven't really thought of anything yet.” “Yeah. I've been helping Applebloom so much with bucking apples, that I forgotten about the crusading stuff!” Sweetie Belle joined in the conversation. “You've been helping Applebloom with the farm?” Scootaloo asked, feeling a little sad from the answer Sweetie Belle had gave her. Sweetie Belle looked into Scootaloo's eyes, her eyes was filled with sadness. “Well... Ehm... How should i put this without making you sad...?” The three fillies stopped walking, standing in front of Scootaloo's house. Applebloom kept silence, but Scootaloo broke the silence instead. “Why didn't you guys tell me that you were going to buck apples in the farm? I could've helped!” “Well... I... Eh... But, Applebloom said... Oh, gosh. This is so hard!” Sweetie Belle's ears drooped down, and she lay on the ground, covering her ears. “Well, ah just think that ya might need a break. Ya know, from yesterday.” Applebloom said. Scootaloo looked at Applebloom angrily. “I don't need any break! You should have known me better by now!” she shouted. Applebloom looked at Scootaloo. Applebloom felt like screaming and shouting, but she know it would just make it worse, so she tried to sound as calm as possible. “Scootaloo, I was just trying to give ya a break. There is nothing wrong with a simple rest.” Scootaloo and Applebloom's argument went on and on, and Sweetie Belle already left without them knowing. Around Town Square, Applejack was selling some of her leftover ciders from the Apple Harvest, and one of the barrels rolled off, heading towards Scootaloo. “Well, maybe we shouldn't be friends!” Scootaloo screamed. “Fine by me! You're kicked from the club!” Applebloom said, putting a hoof out, so Scootaloo could return the cape. “You can't kick me! I quit!” Scootaloo tore her cape off and passed it to Applebloom. “You can have that back, I don't need it anyways!” Scootaloo then walked away, but doesn't know the barrel was going to hit her. Applebloom saw the barrel heading towards Scootaloo, and was going to push her to a cliff nearby. Applebloom quickly ran as close to Scootaloo. “Scootaloo! Watch out!” Scootaloo ignored whatever Applebloom was saying, and continued walking forward. Applebloom did not gave up, and instead of screaming for Scootaloo's name, she ran forwards Scootaloo and pushed her, taking her place as the barrel hit Applebloom directly on the body, pushing her off the cliff. Scootaloo stood up, and saw what Applebloom did, and what happened. “Applebloom! Don't!” Scootaloo cried. But it was too late, she was already falling off the cliff. Scootaloo quickly ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. “Applebloom!!” Scootaloo shouted as her voice echoed. She found a stone stairs and quickly ran down the stairs and ran towards where Applebloom fell. She saw Applebloom laying on the ground, with blood splattered on certain places. Scootaloo's eyes was filling tears, she can't hold it in any longer. She bursted out crying everywhere. Once she's done crying, she got a hold of herself, she picked up Applebloom's body and put it on we back. “Y-you're going to be fine... You'll be okay... P-p-please... Don't go yet...” Scootaloo whispered to Applebloom, with tears in her eyes. She slowly walked up the stairs, because Applebloom was too heavy, and Applebloom will slip off Scootaloo's back if she run. Scootaloo was able to walk back to Ponyville in time. Her eyes was still filled with tears. “Somepony! Anypony! Please, help my friend!” Everypony looked at Scootaloo, and they went closer to Scootaloo. Twilight was the one who is the closest to her, so she helped her out. “What happened to Applebloom?” Twilight asked, looking at Applebloom's conditions. “I'll tell you all about it on the way. But please... Just help her.” Scootaloo sobbed. Twilight nodded and brought Applebloom to the hospital right in time. Scootaloo told everything to Twilight, and she understood everything. Present Time... Twilight putted her hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder. “It isn't your fault Scootaloo. It happens to all of us.” “It is my fault! Can't you see?!” Scootaloo pushed Twilight's hoof away, hey eyes filled with tears. “I am the one who caused all this! Because of me, all of this happened!” “Come on now, Scootaloo...” Twilight said. “If only there is a way for me to undo what I did...” Scootaloo said, rubbing the tears off her eyes. “What's done is done. There is nothing you can do to change the past.” Twilight looked down at Scootaloo. “I'm going to leave now. You'll be okay here? Maybe you can talk to Applebloom.” Twilight said with a smile, which is being forced. “Y-yeah... Sure...” Scootaloo replied as Twilight closed the door. Once Twilight left, Scootaloo went to sit beside Applebloom. She looked at Applebloom's pale skin, which looks paler than before. “I'm so sorry, Applebloom! I'm so sorry that all of this happened!” she cried and sobbed, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing, but she doesn't care. “I-if you can hear me now, I am very sorry about what happened. I shouldn't have overreacted. You're right, Applebloom, you're just giving me a day to rest, and it's no big deal!” Scootaloo said, still crying. “I shouldn't have made that simple thing into a big thing. It's... It's all my fault!” “First, everything is normal! Then, it turns into a disaster! And there is only a slight chance that you'll be alive!” Scootaloo cried. Scootaloo looked at Applebloom once more. “Y-you'll be okay... I promise. By the next day, you will feel like nothing ever happened!” Scootaloo said as the word ‘nothing ever happened’ repeated in her brain. Scootaloo went to the door, and opened it. “It'll be all okay...” she whispered and left. “It'll all be okay...” “You'll be fine...” “I promise...”
