//------------------------------// // Ch. 5 Sweetie gonna Sweet // Story: The Chronicles of Ponyville high school: Razor's story // by Broneyofnoel //------------------------------// Scootaloo awoke to the sound of her alarm, it was six-thirty. She sat up in her bed, turned off her alarm, and hopped out of her bed. She flapped her wings a few times to stretch them out. "Ouch!" she yelped, almost sprained one of them. Scootaloo went under her bed and pulled out a small box. The box was a light gray color with a cyan border. The box held one thing...Scootaloo's diary. Her diary was an older diary, it had been hers since she was 10, right about the same time she learned to fly. Today was the last day she could write in it, she had run out of entries, she picked up the diary slowly and carried it to the table. "The last time...geez..." she looked at the last time she wrote in it, it was so long ago, three months. What compelled Scootaloo to write today? She did not know, but she felt like writing what she's done lately, and it felt pretty good. Dear Diary, I know it's been three months since I've written in here, but I didn't want to finish...you know since I've had you since I was 10...4 years ago. A tear dropped onto the page. In the last three months...I've been doing good, I've been getting even better at flying and I even made the flight team! It's hard, but I love flying, maybe I'll be a Wonderbolt too, just like Rainbow! Another tear dropped onto the diary page as Scootaloo remembered the day her childhood idol met her dream...Rainbow was so happy, Spitfire(The then captain of the Wonderbolts) Told Rainbow that she'd been selected to trial, which she easily passed, on the last day, Pinkie Threw a party for Rainbow. The party was a bittersweet moment, everypony knew that they'd never see Rainbow...but somehow they all were happy, happy for Rainbow, who was torn by the situation, but after reassurance from Fluttershy, decided to go all the way through with it. Well, i just wanted to say two more things, One...I don't want to finish this, and two...'m feeling lonely now...I mean Sweetie Belle is with Razor, and AppleBloom got five colts crushing on her! Scootaloo closed the diary, some tears still dripping from her eyes, she took the diary, and put it on her top shelf, she would read the whole thing later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppleBloom woke to the sounds of the roosters, she popped out of her bed and was at the kitchen able in thirty seconds, right as Applejack set out breakfast. She set out a toasted daisy sandwich for AppleBloom, and one for herself. "Sorry AppleBloom, but Ah got to get out in the barn to help Big Mac today." Applejack said, she rushed while she ate her toasted sandwich. "Mmmmmmm..." AppleBloom said as she bit into her sandwich. "Ah'm glad you like it." Applejack smiled. After about a minute, Applejack finished her sandwich, "Bye AppleBloom, have a good day at school!" she rushed out the kitchen door. "Bye!" AppleBloom said, her mouth full of daisies. Not long later, AppleBloom herself finished and left her home. She walked slowly, letting the rays of the warm sun beam against her blonde coat, she could hear Big Mac and Applejack in the workshop even at the end of their lane. AppleBloom decided to take a small detour. She decided to visit Granny Smith in her new home. AppleBloom stopped at the gate of the Ponyville cemetery, she was no longer sure that she could continue. but she had to. She walked twenty small steps forward, then counted six graves to the left. That was where Granny Smith was. She slowly walked over to her grave and looked at it. Applejack had it made to have Granny Smith's Cutie Mark etched in on both sides of her name. Her old heart had given out about two years ago, yet AppleBloom found it hard to visit, Applejack and Big Macintosh couldn't even bring themselves to come here...period. "Hey Granny Smith..." AppleBloom said sadly, but tried to put on a smile...just for Granny. "How have you been?" AppleBloom asked, waiting for an answer, an answer that would never come. "I've got to go to school now, I love you..." she choked the last three words. AppleBloom walked two graves more to the left, she stopped there too. "Love you mom, love you dad..." AppleBloom was freely crying now, she couldn't move very well now. She limped over to their graves and gave them a hug. The hug lasted for many moments, but then she ran...she ran as fast as she could. She was never able to meet her mom, aside form the 13 seconds after being born, but she felt as if she owed it to her that she stop by at least once a week. Her father though, he had committed suicide after her mother died. He didn't care about the three foals he'd left behind, so Applejack and Big Mac never talked about him, but AppleBloom, she felt bad, she was the cause of her mothers death, so she respected her father. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sweetie Belle didn't sleep, instead she thought of Razor, how badly hurt he was, or what could've happened had she not shown up with Coach Bar when she did. The thought of the pony she'd befriended, then started a relationship with dying...it was unbearable...he could've bled to death, right there, in front of his locker. "It didn't happen, he's alive..." Sweetie Belle choked, then a smile appeared on her face. She saw the sun rising over the mountains, it was about time to leave. She rose up and levitated her brush. She hummed a tune while she brushed her hair. "Today will be a good day." she said to herself...only if Razor shows up. Sweetie Belle set out for school, if Razor didn't show up today, she'd go and visit him tonight, to see how he's holding up... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, today's chapter was a sad chapter, it'll shed some light on certain ponies, as well as foreshadow future events, anyway...whose story did you find more sad, AppleBloom's or Scootaloo's?
