Sad Seed

Trouble Before

So the Cutie Mark Crusaders walked through Ponyville. Scootaloo came up with the idea of going to Sugercube Corner to cheer Babs Seed up. On the way there, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were walking on the other side of the road and saw Babs.

"Look, Silver Spoon, it's Babs Seed again! Why don't we go over and give her a piece of our minds?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Good idea. I mean, it took me a whole hour to wash all that mud off of my coat," Silver Spoon agreed.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon crossed the road and stood in the Crusaders' way.

"Well, well, if it isn't Babs Seed," Diamond Tiara said with a smirk.

"Oh, you two, just scram," Applebloom sighed.

Babs was scared and hid behind Scootaloo. She had completely forgotten about these two.

"Leave Babs alone! You totally deserved getting told off by her!" Scootaloo said in the toughest voice she could manage.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon did not leave. Everypony had pointed and chuckled at them as they walked through Ponyville on the way home leaving trails of wet mud behind them.

"But Babs made a fool of us! No way will we let any blank flank get the best of us!" Diamond Tiara argued.

"No, you guys brought that embarrassment on yourselves," Sweetie Belle said.

"But Babs just ditched us!" Diamond Tiara exclaimed.

"Because youze was bein' jerks to us just because we don't have any cutie marks! We're not the only fillies in Equestria without them, you know!" Babs Seed piped up.

"True," Silver Spoon admitted. "But all the failed efforts to try to get them makes you look so desperate."

This actually hurt the Crusaders. Sweetie Belle stepped in and tried to be mature.

"Well, I think this argument is pointless, so let's just get to Sugercube Corner already," she ordered.

"Hmph, be that way," Diamond Tiara pouted.

She and Silver Spoon pranced away with their heads high. Applebloom turned to see Babs Seed but she was not there. The other Crusaders turned around just in time to see Babs Seed running away through town.
