//------------------------------// // The Crusaders Build a Spaceship out of Bananas and Fluttershy Catches them in the act // Story: X Pony does Y and Fluttershy Catches them in the act // by Wanderer D //------------------------------// Further down the street, Fluttershy encountered something she really did not expect to encounter. Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were loading chocolate into a spaceship built out of bananas. "Um, girls?" She ventured. "Oh! It's Fluttershy!" Sweetie Belle called out, waving her hoof. "Hello!" "Uh... hello!" Fluttershy waved back a bit worriedly. "W-what are you doing?" "We're building a spaceship, duh!" Scootaloo rolled her eyes, stopping briefly to munch on some chocolate before throwing it into the ship. "Ah think what she means to say is why are we doing it," Apple Bloom offered, looking at Fluttershy for confirmation. Fluttershy nodded meekly, examining one of the banana wings in confusion. "Well, we're tryin' to get fruit-bat cutie marks," Apple Bloom explained. Fluttershy began to nod but stopped. Frowning, she looked at the ship, the chocolate and, finally, the fillies. "But, what do the bananas have to do with it?" Sweetie Belle told her. "Oh." Fluttershy looked from the fillies to the ship. "When you put it that way I-I guess it makes sense, but isn't it a bit dangerous?" "Ha!" Scootaloo laughed. "Danger is my middle name!" "Mine is 'Sugar'!" Sweetie Sugar Belle added helpfully. "And mine is none other than 'Freakin'!" Apple Freakin' Bloom stated with a nod. "Oh," Fluttershy smiled. Smiling was safe. "Well, we're off!" Scoota Danger Loo hollered. She turned to Fluttershy as Apple Freakin' Bloom and Sweetie Sugar Belle donned their banana uniforms. "Do you want to join us and meet the great Banana Fruit Bat?" "I—" "Of course she does!" Apple Freakin' Bloom called from the entrance, using a lasso to drag Fluttershy in. "Come on!" "B-but girls!" Fluttershy complained, struggling in vain against the ropes. "I can't go near fruit bats! I might have a relapse!" "Too late!" Scootaloo grinned, pulling a banana lever. "The chocolate's loaded! We're off!"
