Rarity asked the three fillies. "Meh. I don't really feel like doing anything. Scootaloo said. She bit into her apple while lying on Rarity's couch. She looked bored. "Yeah, I think I'm just going to sit here a while." Sweetie Belle said. She was lying on the rug in the middle of the room. "Me too." Applebloom said, leaning against the couch while lying on the floor." "Now that sounds like lazyness." Rarity said. "Why don't you three go to the park? It's such a lovely day." "Hmmm... Nah." The three responded at the same time. The three sighed. Scootaloo threw her applecore toward the trash can, hitting the rim and bouncing away. Rarity looked at her. "Scootaloo, aren't you going to pick that up?" "Maybe later." "I HAVE AN IDEA!" Applebloom yelled. The other two barely looked at her. "Maybe we can earn our cutie marks in doing nothing!" "Sounds good to me. Let's get started." Sweetie Belle said before she rolled over on the rug. "This plan is foal-proof." "Whatever." Rarity exclaimed. "If you three feel like being lazy, then so be it. Just don't come complaining to me when you're bored and can't find anything to do." She turned her nose up and left the room, leaving the three to their laziness. FOUR WEEKS LATER Rarity opened the door to the room. She sighed, then slowly shut it. Outside of the room, she leaned against the wall and shook her head. Applejack stood by, not quite sure what to do. "Its dreadful, Applejack." Rarity said, wiping a tear from her eye. "Its been four weeks and they haven't moved. I'm worried about them." "You know them, sugarcube. They're stubborn as a mule. Can't be long now until they come out." It was a year later until they came out, 300 pounds heavier, with a thick coating of cheese puff dust on their coats. "Well that didn't work." Applebloom wheezed. Scootaloo nodded and Sweetie Belle sweated profusely, grabbing her chest as her heart tried to pump blood through her overweight body.
