//------------------------------// // Whats going on? // Story: Cutie Mark Crusading // by Lightning Bolt VA //------------------------------// Apple Jack trotted along, checking for any trees that still had apple on them. "Found one!" shouted Rainbow Dash from far away. "I can clear it in 10 seconds flat!" she said closing her eyes and acting awesome as usual. "Or you can help Big Mac pick out the good apples from the bad ones." said Twilight, levitating the apples that were recently on the tree in front of Rainbow. "But-But..." Rainbow said looking shocked as ever. "Just go and help him already!" said Twilight annoyed. "I just don't understand what they could be hiding from us, I mean we are their sisters!" Rarity said confused. "Well I don't understand it either sugarcube," Apple Jack said putting her hoof on Rarity's shoulder. "But I can assure you, we will find out. One way or another." said Apple Jack reassuring Rarity. "I sure do hope so." said Rarity trotting away with Apple Jack. ********************************************************************************************************** Back in the barn Big Mac and Rainbow Dash were sorting out the apples. "So how's the apple sortin' going?" said Pinkie Pie. "Good, I guess..." said Rainbow Dash looking down. "Why so glum sugarplum?" said Pinkie, hopping over to Rainbow. "It's just that Scootaloo always wants to fly with me, but today she didn't. It sorta hurt my feelings. I mean this may be hard to believe but sometimes ME, the best flyer in Equestria gets her feelings hurt." said Rainbow not know she was bragging once again. "Well, Rarity and I think they are hidin' something from us." said Apple Jack, trying to ignore the fact Rainbow Dash was bragging again. "And you never mentioned it to me! Scootaloo is like a sister to me!" shouted Rainbow Dash angrily. "Rainbow, please settle down!" said Rarity flagging down Rainbow Dash. "No I can't and I won't!" said Rainbow Dash flipping over a bucket of apples on accident, hitting Fluttershy in the face. "Ouch!" said Fluttershy rubbing her nose. Rainbow Dash quickly looked over and came to realization. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" said Rainbow Dash flying over to Fluttershy. "Are you alright?!" she said feeling guilty. She touched Fluttershy's nose a little bit. "Ow! That really hurt!" said Fluttershy pulling Rainbow's hoof away. "Hold on sugarcube, let me see your nose." said Apple Jack moving Fluttershy's hoof from over her nose. Apple Jack looked at Fluttershy's nose which appeared to look oddly shaped. "I don't mean to scare ya Flutters' but ah' reckon your nose is broken." said Apple Jack looking worried. "W-What?! A broken nose! Wha-What do I do?!" shouted Fluttershy, scared. "I think that means you have to go to the hospital." said Pinkie Pie. "But, don't worry I have some old balloons from when Rainbow took that fall, get me some helium and we could have the best get well soon party EVER!" shouted Pinkie, very excited. "Now girls no more stalling we have to get Fluttershy to the infirmary now." said Twilight commanding. "Fine," said Rainbow Dash trotting out with the rest of the girls. "Infirmary, sounds like something an egghead would say." said Rainbow Dash under her breath. "Rainbow Dash!" shouted Twilight. "But how did you hear that!?" said Rainbow Dash shocked. "Hear what I was just telling you that you were dragging behind." said Twilight peering back at Rainbow Dash. "Oh, yeah. Sorry Twi!" said Rainbow Dash catching up with the rest of the girls. As they all trotted off, Apple Jack still wondered about the CMC.
