//------------------------------// // Ch.9 Comfort // Story: Cutie Mark Crush-Saders // by Rose Quartz //------------------------------// Applebloom was sitting by the lake crying about what Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon said. "Applebloom?", said a voice AB turned around and saw Pipsqueak. "What do you want Pipsqueak?", asked AB "I just wanna apologize about what Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon did", apoligized "HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?! YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE" "Actually I was" "Huh?" "When Diamond and Silver told us to leave, I stayed and hid behind a bush to see if they are as evil as ponies say…and I guess they are" AB and Pipsqueak laughed awkwardly and looked at each other. "Are you ok?", asked Pipsqueak "I don't know", replied AB "Diamond said a lot of offensive things. Like that Im poor, stupid, and that my accent is annoying" "I think your accent is adorable" "Thanks, your accent is adorable too" They awkwardly laughed again while blushing. "And your not stupid", said Pipsqueak "And your not poor, you just have a different lifestyle" "Thanks Pip", said AB hugging him while Pipsqueak started to blush "You really know how to make a girl feel better" "Applebloom?" "Yes Pip?" "Would you like to go to the dance with me?" "I thought you were going with Silver Spoon" "I was, until I saw how her and Diamond were treating you" "Oh...Well I'd love to go with you", replied AB nuzzling his cheek "Great", cheered Pipsqueak nuzzling back "we should probably get to class" "Want me to walk you?" "Sure" AB and Pipsqueak walked to class together. When they got there, Cheerilee gave them a stern look. "Applebloom and Pipsqueak you two are late to class", said Cheerilee "Where have you been?" "We had an emergency" explained AB "Well since this is your first offense, I'll let you two slide", said Cheerilee "Now get to your seats" "Yes Miss Cheerilee", replied AB and Pipsqueak When AB got to her seat, the CMC started whispering to her. "What happened?", asked Scootaloo "Pipsqueak asked me to be his date", explained AB "Really?", asked Sweetie Belle "Wait wasn't he going with Silver Spoon?" "Not anymore", replied AB The crusaders silently cheered. Cheerilee continued her lesson until the bell rang, signaling that it was time to go home. "Bye kids", said Cheerilee "Don't forget about Hearts and Hooves Day tomorrow", reminded Cheerilee After all the foals ran out, the crusaders walked out while taking about dance plans. "Ok were all gonna meet at my house right?", asked Sweetie Belle "Yup", replied AB and Scootaloo "Good, cause Rarity made fabulous new dresses for us", explained Sweetie Belle They went home with excitement on their minds, because they finally had dates to the dance.
