A Bloom of Speed

by Mystical Rainboom


"I'm almost there!"

CHS was actually not that populated, most of the students were gone. The halls had less noise than normal.
Only a few classes were lit. Why is it like this? One thing:After school Events.

In one of the classrooms, Miss Cheerilee was writing with chalk on a board. Snips and Snails were giggling and snickering at Applebloom's expense.

"Why am I here again?" Applebloom complained.

"Because not only did you call Diamond Tiara a "prissy stuck up she-demon", but you also broke a stall door in the girl's bathroom by shoving her in. Need I say more?"

Applebloom sank back in her chair pouting. "She had it coming."

Snails laughed harder. "Best part is that someone caught the red in your eyes on camera and put it on the internet. Apple-Doom!"

"Snails!!! That's an extra 5 minutes!"

Applebloom wanted nothing more than to yell. "SHUT IT SNAILS! I'll bash you like NAILS!!!!" She yelled this in her mind.

Applebloom was staring at the clock, at the same time her nails were clawing into her desk. She was growing with the urge to leave. Unfortunately, time was nearly in reverse.

"Hey! Appledoom is going after the desk today, maybe tomorrow she'll attack a lunch table!" Snips was now laughing feeling clever.

"5 more minutes for you, Snips." Cheerilee said.

Applebloom's eyes were moving erratically. They noticed everything: sneezes,coughs,texts and even the drooling of a boy staring at a girl paying him no mind on her phone.

The clock struck 5:00 and the bell rang.

"Alright Miss Sweets, Leaves, and Bloom can lea-"

Applebloom ran out of the room, she almost dropped her red bow. She retrieved it and ran out. Everyone was astounded by the red and yellow blur.

Applebloom was running as fast a CHS cross country member. She had been gathering a speed quickly. It seemed nothing could stop her.

Suddenly, several people were exiting the gym and making music. Applebloom was coming to a screeching halt. She was only inches from meeting a stampede.

"What in the-?!" Applebloom stammered.

A pale hand grabbed her and pulled into a locker, another hand covered her mouth.

"Shhhh! It's dangerous to not know the routine." Sweetie Belle whispered.

Applebloom called out muffled words. She struggled to get free in the cramped locker, and Sweetie Belle didn't exactly make room.

"What in tarnation are you doing!?"

"Hiding! I haven't mastered any routines yet, because it's my first week. Do you know how many times I've been trampled." The pale girl answered.

Flashback Time!

Sweetie was marching behind a large male, suddenly he turn and whacked her with his drum. She was on the ground dizzy, and he was oblivious.

Sweetie was in a helmet, from the football locker and too big for her, and turned around near a tall girl. She was too close. Sweetie received two kicks right in her butt and fell down and a girl nearby dropped her grape punch right in her dress.

A locker was dark with green eyes flashing in it. Sweetie, in a complete football outfit, crept out and tried to make a run for it to an exit. She smiled as she reached for the door. Suddenly, the band was coming down the hall prompting Sweetie to jump in a trash can for cover...if only the janitor wasn't on his job.

Back in the locker, Sweetie was showing a fearful look. Applebloom tried to snap her out of it.

"Belle. I need to get home soon, will you help me?"

"And do what? Get a foot print pattern stuck on my-!"

Applebloom pulled a cute face to persuade her friend.

"No. That's not fair or right."

Applebloom turned even cuter. She looked like a pouting baby.

"No no no. I won't. I can't. I-"

Applebloom was now unable to be defined.

"Okay Okay! Just stop making that face!" Sweetie complained. Applebloom snickered gleefully.

A pair of eyeballs scanned the room, checking for trouble, Then Sweetie belle walked out of the locker.
She tip-toed out in a hurry. It felt like 30 minutes for Sweetie to walk 20 feet to the exit.

A voice called out. "HEY!!! Sweetie Belle!" An orange blur appeared in a leather jacket.

"Oh. Hi Sunset Shimmer."

"Rarity wanted me to check and see if you were okay and-err."

Sunset Shimmer noticed Sweetie seemed to be having a battle with her clothes.

"Umm...something wrong?"

"Uhh NO! Nothing at all. Just err...got a cramp...so I'm...heading home." Sweetie belle smiled nervously, with sweat beads in her hair.

A burp was heard and an odor was smelled.

Thankfully, Sunset bought it. She opened the door to let her leave.

Outside, Sweetie opened her buttoned dress and out popped Applebloom. The smell made both girls pinch noses.

"Yick! Applebloom what have you been eating?"

"It wasn't my fault. It was the trash can."

"Well I'm going home to wash off that smell...might even grab some mouth wash for you." Sweetie whispered.

Sweetie ran off before Applebloom could give her 6 noogies and an arm punch. Losing track of time, Applebloom took off in a hurry to her home.

Along the way, construction was prompting a detour. Applebloom knew a route threw the mall to escape. Applebloom's troubles started with two larger jocks.

Immediately, she tried to escape, because it had occurred several times before and Applebloom did not want to experience it. What's the name of the punishment? MONSTER MAKEUP!!!

One of the guys grabbed Applebloom and took her to a hidden area. The guys took out several props.

"Let's make her a zombie...or a goblin...I got it! Bugface!" One shouted.

Applebloom was centimeters from a terrible hour. Once again, another voice shouted.

"Hey! Leave her alone!"

Everyone looked confused. Applebloom had red around her eye.

"Don't make me whip y'all in front of all the guys." A southern accent yelled.

The guys were shaking in fear.

"I've eaten five packs of Smile Dip can I play now!" An energetic voice called.

The guys assumed it was Rainbow, Applejack, and Pinkie. Two of them had a reputation of knocking in teeth, another had unpredictability. Surly these three would annihilate them. The guys ran off.

With Applebloom tied up, she was hoping for some help.

The lights were turned back on and it revealed her savior. Scootaloo untied her.

"Those impression classes are no joke!"

Applebloom hugged her savior with a rapid heart. Applebloom explained she needed to leave and took off. Scootaloo grabbed her before she got away.

"How about I get you a ride on my scooter it's locked outside."

"How nice."

Applebloom was now able to see her home. Scootaloo left and went home. "I'm almost there!"

"Well if it isn't a little red riding doofus."

"Oh blue SHELL no!" Applebloom turned to see her purple-ish enemy and her blue associate.

"Why hello Diamond. Where's Silver and why is Trixie here?"

"Dentist."

"And Trixie is her to see Diamond defeat her rival."

Applebloom facepalmed. She then realised Diamond stole her bow.

"Missing something?" Diamond said twirling the bow.

Big Mac once had an item stolen...the thief had a black eye. Someone stole Applejack's hat...they were unconscious. A man stole Granny Smith's chair...the experience was illegal.

"Give it here." Applebloom said with a glare of death.

Trixie pulled out her phone and started recording.

"Give it her you 1st class sack of greed!"

"No. Listen here Crap-plebloom. I don't really like falling into a toilet and getting stuck, but here is what I do like."

"Eating souls you glossy valley girl stereotype. I was wondering why Trixie was still upright near you." Applebloom yelled face to face.

"What I like is getting payback!"She yelled turning red and pushing Applebloom into some mud.

"I'll cut to the chase. I'll toss you into the manure pile and post it online. Open wide cowgirl."

As Applebloom was in trouble, and no one was around, a group of cows came and rammed Diamond and Trixie in the pile.

"You monster! This is dry clean only!!!"

The two were stuck in mush as Applebloom made a video and retrieve her bow from the wind.

"Ladies, let this prove...karma is one stone-cold mother-"

A rooster called out. Applebloom looked at her watch.

Applebloom immediately ran inside and went in her room and took Applejack's sleeping pet dog off of her pillow. She ran and woke up Granny around 5:00.

She also turned on the juicer for her clean and yellow liquid process.

She then sat on the couch with her sister.

"Detention."

"Yes."

"Well be glad. If you were late you'd get the punishment again."

"I know."

If she was late, Applebloom would get the most chores on Saturday. Here were her punishments: harvest, feed, clean, wipe etc.

Meanwhile outside Big Mac was shoveling in manure. A shoe was found.

"Can I have that back please." Diamond appeared.
