	"This is so borin'. Ah can't think why Cheerilee, AppleJack and Rarity won't let us Cutie Mark Crusade anymore," Apple Bloom complained. She shot a look at her own broken leg, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, one with a broken hind leg and the other with broken wings.

"Yeah, they keep saying "It's too dangerous"," Scootaloo groaned.

Between munches, Sweetie Belle cried out, "Yeah, I mean, come on!"

"Ah mean - look at Sweetie Belle and yourself, Scootaloo," Apple Bloom carried on. "Ah could've sworn you're twice as good as everypony at checkers, considering all ya do is that!"

"Yeah, but what else can we do? We're not allowed to do anything now!" Scootaloo asked. She rolled her eyes. 

"What do you expect us to do, Apple Bloom? Playing pretend, camping, mountain-climbing," Sweetie Belle, said digging her hoof into a bag of candy. "It's all too "dangerous"."

"Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom scolded, turning her attention to the white filly. "Put down that bag of candy. Yer gonna get fat!"

"I can't help it! It's the only thing to do!" Sweetie Belle argued. But she obeyed anyway. "At least Scootaloo has her scooter, and you have your apple farm, Apple Bloom. Rarity never lets me help her. All I got is checkers."

"Ah hate it here," Apple Bloom grumbled. "All we can do is watch this new tevilesion-whatever. TV thingy. It's boring. Humans watch this stuff."

"Yeah, what the hay are we supposed to do here anyway?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I mean, Cheerilee said it's not bad at all."

"Not bad at all? It's terrible!" Scootaloo cried out.

"That's what I said!" Sweetie Belle said.

"No you didn't!" Scootaloo shouted.

"Did too!" Sweetie Belle replied.

"Did NOT."

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!!!"

"DID TOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"Girls, girls, stop it!" Apple Bloom shouted. "Ah have an idea. Why not go to Zecora's?"

"Yeah! That's a great idea!" Scootaloo cried out.

"If only we could walk," Sweetie Belle muttered, glancing down to her leg.

The former Cutie Mark Crusaders sighed, as they lay on their beds, continuing an unusally quiet game of checkers.
