Ten years after Tirek was defeated, there sat three adult mares. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle.
In their earlier years, they had a little group called 'The Cutie Mark Crusaders,' or just CMC for short. They would do anything for their cutie marks! But on one fateful day, they discovered who they were, and earned their marks that they wanted so badly. Now, after eleven years of adventurous friendship, they were sitting in the cafe for their weekly meet & greet.
"I have some really important news for you, but your probably going to freak out. So what ever you do, do not faint!" Apple Bloom whispered across the table, looking sternly in to her two best friends eyes.
"You got a two-for-one sale at the market, for a super awesome wonderbolt trophy, shaped as Rainbow Dash?!?" Scootaloo squeeled, as she flew up, and hit the ceiling with excitement.
Apple Bloom pulled Scootaloo out of the air, and sat her down. "No Scootaloo, it has nothing to do with Rainbow Dash... It has something to do with me, and my---"
"You wrote an amazing song, that your going to sing for us?!?" Sweetie Belle said, as she jumped on the table in excitement, almost spilling their coffee.
"No! Please calm down, so I can tell you the real news! I can assure you, it's way more important, then Rainbow Dash trophy's, and me writing music." Apple Bloom said.
"Nothing is more important than Rainbow Dash trophy's!" Scootaloo giggled.
Apple Bloom leaned in close and whispered "Sparks proposed! I'm getting married in a month!" She lifted her hoof, revealing a beautiful diamond ring perfectly fitting around her left hoof.
"Your getting married?! Oh I've always wanted to be married!! Somepony to help me take care of my foal would be perfect! I'm so happy for you Apple Bloom!!" Sweetie Belle excitedly said, admiring the diamond on her hoof.
"Eh, that's cool, but nothing as cool as what happened to me this week!" Scootaloo said, as she pulled out a letter from her wing.
Apple Bloom rolled her eyes, as Scootaloo started to read.
Dear Scootaloo,
We have been lacking in out numbers of crew members and have been sending ponies throughout Equestria looking for skilled pegasi. One of said ponies was in Pony-Ville about three months ago and was highly un-impressed. My Wonderbolt companion told me this report:
"I have never seen such poor flyers in all of my life! They need to get in better shape if they want to move up in the world. However, there were only two ponies who caught my eye. An orange pegasus mare, and a grey pegasus stallion. The stallion had managed to clear the sky in almost record time. He also ran in to me which was why he did not make it into record time. Before he did such thing, he was flying with such grace, that I was deeply moved by how devoted he was to his flying.
The mare, on the other hoof, was much more experienced. Her movements, not only in the air, but on her scooter where amazing. Her timing for all of her moves were impeccable. If I were to choose some pegasi from all of Equestria, I would have to say those two from Pony-Ville."
After hearing this report, I immediately knew that you both were the pegasi we were looking for. So, what do you say Scoots? Want to bring that grey stallion and come try out? I hope to get your response soon.
Sincerely;
Rainbow Dash,
Captain of the Wonderbolts
Sweetie Belle sat there speechless. While Apple Bloom rolled her eyes.
Sweetie Belle hugged both of them super tight, and said "Oh I'm just soo happy for you guys!!"
"So Sweetie, has anything awesome happened in your life?" Scootaloo asked.
"Not exactly, Emerald has been nothing but trouble. But I'm trying to find a stallion, after her dad left for Saddle Arabia so long ago. She's such a wonderful child, but with my singing career, it's just super hard! But luckily, I got my sister to babysit her for a couple days. I just hope she isn't too much trouble for Rarity!" Sweetie Belle said.
"Aww that's too bad! But how's your singing career going? Written any more songs? I would like to hear one, if that's the case." Apple Bloom asked.
"Yes, actually! It's a beautiful song called 'Fillies and Colts' I wrote it for my dear filly, Emerald!" Sweetie Belle started to sing, with her voice of an angel.
Suddenly, the restaurant door flung open, and you'll never guess who was there!
"BABS!" Apple Bloom rejoiced, as she trotted over to her favorite cousin, and gave her a giant hug, completely interrupting Sweetie Belle's beautiful song. "It's been so long since we've seen ya'll!! How come you cancelled last weeks get-together?
Babs Seed walked over to the table, and sat down, taking a sip from Apple Blooms coffee. "I've been really busy with my new career, and I haven't had any time to stop by! But I'm so glad I did, because I have some big news for you Apple Bloom!!"
Sweetie Belle stopped singing, and leaned in. They all leaned in to try to tell Babs, "Tell us the news already!" without talking.
Once their snouts were a foot away from Babs, she screamed "I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!!" Babs jumped over the table and squeezed all three of them In a tight hug.
"Congratulations Babs! Because I have some news for you too!" Apple Bloom excitedly said as she released the hug, and sat back down.
"APPLE BLOOM'S GETTING MARRIED TOO!!!!" Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle shouted in unison.
Apple Bloom glared at them, and said "As I was trying to say, before I got so rudely interrupted, Sparks proposed to me! And I'm getting married on April fourth!!"
Babs Seed smiled so big she let out tears of happiness stroll down her face as she hugged Apple Bloom. "IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU I COULD CRY!!!!" Babs cried, as she gave a friendly kiss on the cheek to Apple Bloom.
"Wow you sure reacted differently than the other two!" Apple Bloom added.
Babs wiped her face from tears, and said, "That's because we're family! And your my favorite cousin!"
"Your my favorite cousin Apple Bloom!" Scootaloo shouted, as she joined the hug.
"Hey, your not her cousin!" Sweetie Belle said.
Scootaloo rolled her eyes, and added. "Fine, then she my favorite friend!"
"That's not fair! I'm clearly he most favoritest of all of you!" Sweetie said, raising her chin up, and smiling.
"Hey, that's not a word!" Scootaloo said releasing from the hug, and fighting with Apple Bloom.
"What are you? A dictionary?!?" Sweetie screamed, while in an angry dust cloud of friend fighting.
"Aww just like old times! Um.. I'm going to help them out." Apple Bloom said, reaching her hoof in the dust cloud of fight, and pulling two mares out, while they were still throwing punches at eachother.
"Girls, calm down! You guys are all my favorite friends!" Apple Bloom said.
Sweetie brushed her mane out with her hooves, and said, "Sorry Scootaloo..."
"Sorry..." Scootaloo apologized.
"Ok then! Now that we're done fighting, we can continue our meeting!" Apple Bloom said, sitting back down in the restaurant booth.
"Um actually guys, I gotta hit the sky! I have to go see Rainbow Dash, to audition for the Wonderbolts! But first I need to find some stallion pegasus with a grey coat, that's auditioning with me." Scootaloo said, as she fastened on a helmet to her head.
"Well, I wish you good luck on finding him, considering all of the grey stallions in Pony-Ville!" Sweetie Belle said thinking back on her old boyfriend, Rumble Lane.
"It's nice catching up with you Scootaloo! See you at Apple Bloom's wedding!" Babs said.
"Don't worry, I'm coming back to Pony-Ville as soon as I'm done with the audition! So I'll see you guys later!" Scootaloo said, riding off in her scooter at lighting speed.
"I guess I have to go too. My little Emerald probably already blew up Rarity's house with her clumsiness!" Sweetie Belle said, as she grabbed her saddlebag.
Emerald is a lot like you Sweetie! Clumsy, cute, and obsessed with waffles! Babs Seed said with a giggle.
"Hey, I hate waffles! And I'm not that clumsy anymore, it was only when I was a filly." Sweetie Belle laughed, and hugged both of them. "Goodbye girls!"
"Bye!" The two apple cousins said in a country accent.
Sweetie Belle, and Babs sat back at the table, and continued their chat. "So, when are you planning your wedding?" Apple Bloom asked.
"It's on April fifth. The day after your wedding!" Babs said excitedly.
"Oh, that's so perfect!!! You can be my one of my bridesmaids at my wedding, then I could be one of your bridesmaids at your wedding! And maybe, we can have a sleepover with the girls in-between those days!" Apple Bloom said, jumping in circles around Babs, who was now standing outside of the booth.
"Sounds like a plan! I have to go, I'm needed by my fiancé, Snails!" Babs said, raising one of her eyebrows, and playfully nudging Apple Bloom in the side.
"Have fun! I'll see you next Wednesday, for our weekly meet-up!" Apple Bloom said, as she finished her coffee.
They both left the cafe, and went home for the day. Babs took the train back to Manehatten, and Apple Bloom walked back to Sweet-Apple Acres.
