Day 2
Cheerilee rolled out of her bed, thankful she wasn't woken up by her alarm at five in the morning to go to work. She stretched out her legs and let out a yawn. The purple mare then lifted her eyelids to get a look at the time. The digital clock on her night stand displayed "8:26" in bright green letters. I guess I better get the girls up, if they aren't already, and make them some breakfast. I hope they like apples. I'm sure Applebloom does, at least, she does luve on an apple farm. Hell, how could you not like something in your name? I mean APPLEbloom?
Cheerilee pulled herself out of her bed, and drowsily trotted towards the doorway. The door was open, and Cheerilee heard giggling from the other room. Looks like they're awake.
"Girls, come out, it's time for breakfast!" She yelled to the closed door of the guessed bedroom.
"Cummin' hang on!" Applebloom's familiar voice said.
Cheerilee took out a hoof-ful of apples from the fridge and set them down on the countertop of the kitchen. She grabbed a knife in her mouth and a cutting-board. She cut the apples into thin slices and organized them onto four plates. By the time she was done preparing the quote meal /quote, the girls where sitting at the dining table.
"Just apples? I know teachers stereotypically like apples, but do you have anything else?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"I like apples, okay?" Cheerilee groaned.
Applebloom smiled. "I think their delicious!"
"Of coarse you do. You grow apples for a living. Apple is your family name. You're only aloud to eat apple-based food. Of coarse you like apples." Scootaloo said rolling her eyes. She had a point. Ir isn't like you see the Apple family eat oranges, or bananas, do you?
After breakfast, the three girls sat down in their guest room, to plan the day of crusading ahead of them. "Ah' found this potion recipe, that makes your talent enhanced. It could help us earn our cutiemarks!" Applebloom to,d the group. She opened the book to a page of ingredients. "Most of these ah' have, and the rest, can be found around Ponyville an' the forest."
"Oh, I don't know are you sure we won't get cutie-pox?" Scootaloo asked with a smirk as they peeked at the open book.
"Hey, ah' know what ah'm doin' now!" Applebloom rolled her eyes. "Anyways, ah' need ah' few things from ya'." She said, taking out a sheet of paper and pencil.
She began composing a list of miscellaneous (good grief that word is hard to spell) ingredients, such as magical plants and herbs. The list consisted of several items with small, and may I add poorly drawn, illustrations by Applebloom herself. When she was done, she gave Sweetie Belle the list, knowing she's more trustworthy than Scootaloo was.
"Okay, so we just gather these and you'll be good to go?" She asked looking over the list she held in front of her with her magic.
Applebloom nodded. "While yer gone, ah'll get started on the rest."
"Seems easy enough. Lets go, Sweetie." Scootaloo grabbing her scooter. She would've waited till they where outside, but, it's a cartoon universe. Scootaloo got on her scooter and Sweetie Belle got on behind her, with her saddle bag around her. They took off to gather the ingredients for the potion.
"Okay, Hearts Desire, check." Sweetie Belle said. She scanned the list one last time.
Rainbow Vine- Check
Memory Flower- Check
Magic Oak- Check
Hearts Desire- Check
Blue Crystal Lily-
"Okay all that's left is a Blue Crystal Lily!" Sweetie Belle said.
"I think I saw a blue lily thing near the entrance of the forest!" Scootaloo said. "Can I see?"
Sweetie handed her the list, with the picture on it. It looked close enough, but it was hard to tell. They trotted together to the entrance to the forest where Scootaloo saw the flowers. There was a patch of blue flowers all over the grass. Sweetie piched up two with her magic and put them into her saddle bag. She then checked the ingredient off of the list. "Thats it!"
"Here you go Applebloom!" Sweetie Belle smiled taking off her saddle back and emptying the herbs onto the floor of the room. There was a couple of each plant on the list and a chunk of Rainbow Vine.
"Ahkay I got the rest in, now all we need to do is ground up everything." She took out a little wooden pounding thingy and bowl. Sweetie put each ingredient into the bowl with her magic, which Scootaloo then grounded up, finally pouring the essence into the potion flask, which Applebloom mixed in with a whisk from Miss Cheerilee's kitchen.
A puff of pink smoke came out of the bottle when all of the ingredients where in. "Is it done?" Scootaloo asked. Apple bloom nodded with a smile.
"Drink up!" She said grinning. The three each took a drink out of the flask. It tasted bitter, like that brown stuff their sisters drank every morning.
"Now what?" Scootaloo asked impatiently.
"We wait," Applebloom replied, "for the magic to happen!" (Mad scientist laugh.)
