Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Babs Seed were playing in front of their tree house, Applebloom and Babs pretending to swordfight with a couple of sticks, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were "Dead".

The woman said nothing to the little girl and just walked away, her armor clinking with every step she took.
