Chapter 11: Dirty Laundry


A few days later the friends are chatting in the hallway when Apple Bloom walks up to them, "Hey, y'all better come see what we found!" Not sure what else to do the friends follow Apple Bloom to the computer room where Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are already sitting at a computer, "All right Sweetie, play it."

Sweetie Belle nods and plays the video, the video is a obvious smear campaign against both Sunset and Twilight, after the video ends, "We found it when we were looking to see how many hits our bandpage got."

"CMC forever!" Scootaloo cheers and the liberian glares at her, "Sorry."

"I don't understand, the only other person running is Crystal, why would she run something like this?" Twilight asks.

"I don't know, but it explains where Snips and Snails have been," Sunset comments.

"So what are we going to do?" Twilight asks.

Sunset shrugs, "What she aired wasn't anywhere near as bad as what I used to try and destroy the other Twilight.  It's not like she has footage of any of you using your powers, or even in your hybrid forms, so it's nothing that I don't think the students won't overlook.  I suggest you all be very careful for awhile, if Crystal got some of the pictures she did imagine what she could get if she was sneakier."

"We'll have to be extra careful," Twilight says and looks at Rainbow Dash.

"Unless there's a fight, I'll stay on the ground until after the dance," Rainbow Dash says, "last thing I want is pictures of me flying around on the internet."

"Fluttershy," Twilight says getting her attention.

"Yes?" Fluttershy asks quietly.

"You think you could get the mice to spy on Crystal for me?" Twilight asks, "I feel like something more is going on here."

"I'll try."

“Wait? We have mice?” Rarity asks aghast.

“Every building has mice Rarity,” Twilight says.

“And since I can talk to animals now, all the animals around here trust me and will usually do what I ask,” Fluttershy admits, “I’ve been feeding them so that they will stay out of sight for the most part.”

“Good, your mice spy on Crystal. I’ll go confront Snips and Snails, and see if I can’t get them to stop spying on us,” Sunset says.

“The rest of us should keep to business as usual,” Twilight says.

“We still practicing tonight Scoots?” Dash asks the younger teen.

“Yeah, sounds good,” Scootaloo answers.

“I thought your band had a gig tonight?” Rarity asks, “That’s what Sweetie said.”

“Is that tonight?” Scootaloo asks looking at the other two girls.

“Yeah, it’s that audiation Scoots,” Sweetie says looking slightly toward Apple Bloom,  “So it doesn’t pay anything, but we gotta play.”

“Sorry Dash,” Scoots says glaring at Sweetie slightly, “looks like we’ll have to reschedule.”

Rainbow nods, “we’ll figure it out later,” with that the older girls all leave.

Scootaloo hits Sweetie Belle in the shoulder, “You got to tell me when you need me to cover for your make-out sessions.”

“Sorry Scoots,” Sweetie says with a blush, “We’ll make it up to you."
