"Okay Cutie Mark Crusaders! What are we doing to do next to earn our cutie marks!" Scootaloo said with a happy grin to the other CMC's, which didn't look as happy as Scootaloo.
The three fillies were in their signature Cutie Mark Crusader clubhouse. Applebloom was laying on the wooden floor of the clubhouse, staring at the ceiling with boredom. Sweetie Belle was laying next to her, snoring away. Scootaloo looked down at both of them with a face that wasn't amused.
"C'mon Crusaders, stop being so lazy and get up! There's adventure out there, and we can get our cutie marks as fast as Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo shouted.
"But ahm tired Scootaloo, plus if we were going to go on a crusade, what are we going to do?" Applebloom said, standing up. "Also Sweetie Belle is exhausted from helpin' Rarity makin' her dresses all night."
Scootaloo looked up at Applebloom and sighed. "Yeah, your right. What are we gonna do today?" Scootaloo said with another sigh. The orange filly looked out the window of their clubhouse. Outside, she saw Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle walking together to Sugar Cube Corner. Then, all of a sudden, Scootaloo bounced in excitement around the CMC Clubhouse.
"Girls! I have the greatest idea in the history of all our CMC ideas!" Scootaloo said in excitement.
"Well what the hay is it?" Applebloom said.
"Well why don't we get our cutie marks in matchmaking!" Scootaloo said excitedly while pointing her hoove at the sight of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle walking with each other.
"But remember what happened the last time we done' matchmaking?" Applebloom said with a hint of annoy in her voice, referring to the love potion incident with Big Mac' and Cheerilee.
"Silly, that was love potion crusading, not matchmaking crusading!" Scootaloo said.
"But we can't get into anypony's business, maybe they don't "like like" each other" Applebloom said, making quote marks with her hooves while saying "like like"
"But look at them! They are meant for each other!" Scootaloo said while looking at Twilight and Pinkie.
"Ugh, well, fine! But only if one of them' has feeling for the other" Applebloom said to Scootaloo
"Yay! Cutie mark crusader matchmakers go!" The two fillies said while high-hoofing each other.
"Wait? Why are there only the two of us?" Applebloom said
The two fillies turned around and saw a sleeping Sweetie Belle on the floor.
"Whoops." The two fillies said at the same time.
"So, what are we doing again?" said a sleepy Sweetie Belle.
"Ugh! Scootaloo will ya please explain?" said Applebloom with an annoy in her voice.
"Ok, listen Sweetie. We are trying to get our cutie marks in matchmaking. And no, its not the same as the Big Mac and Cheerilee accident. That was love potion, not matchmaking. So our first victim- I mean match," said Scootaloo with a fake laugh, "is Pinkie Pie and Twilight.
"Ok, so why Pinkie and Twilight, and where are we going?" said Sweetie Belle.
"We are goin' to Sugar Cube Corner to talk to Twi' or Pinkie. Also we picked Pinkie and Twi' because look at dem!" Applebloom said as she pointed to Pinkie and Twilight walking through the door of Sugar Cube Corner, "see? They are meant for each other"
"Ok crusaders! We are here" Scootaloo said.
The three little fillies walked in Sugar Cube Corner, and saw ponies walking around the shop. Then Scootaloo saw Pinkie ordering sweets and Twilight reading a book at a table.
"Oh! There is the both of them! But who are we gonna talk to first?" said Scootaloo.
"Maybe we shall talk to Twi', she is alone readin' that book of hers" said Applebloom.
"Ok, lets talk to Twilight first" said Sweetie Belle.
The three fillies headed towards Twilight. Twilight saw them and waved a hoof.
"Hi girls! What are you doing here today?" said Twilight.
"Well, we were wondering, just out of the blue, do you have a special somepony maybe?" said Sweetie Belle while grinning at Twilight.
"Uh, I don't at the moment, but why?" asked Twilight.
"Well, we wanted to see if you were interested in somepony, maybe Pinkie?" said Scootaloo.
Twilight was silent for a few 30 seconds, while her face was as pink as Pinkie's pink punch.
"Uh, maybe.." said Twilight while blushing hard.
"AHA! You do like Pinkie!" said Scootaloo happily.
"Girls! Shhh.. Pinkie promise that you won't tell anypony." whispered Twilight.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" said the three fillies at the same time.
"Ok girls, we will discuss this tomorrow at the library, I have to go with Pinkie. See you tomorrow" Twilight said.
"Bye!" said the three fillies while walking out of Sugar Cube Corner.
The sun was set by the time the three fillies walked out of Sugar Cube Corner. The moon came up slowly, showing that it was going to be a starry night. The three fillies walked across the dirt roads, until they made it to town hall.
"Isn't this great crusaders! This crusade may actually be successful!" said Scootaloo happily.
"I know! This is gonna be a amazin' day tomorrow!" said Applebloom excitedly.
"Ok girls remember! Tomorrow at Twilight's library!" said Scootaloo.
"See you later!" the three fillies told each other.
Once Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were out of sight, Scootaloo smiled happily to herself.
"Tomorrow is gonna be an amazing day! I can't wait to go crusading with my best friends!" Scootaloo said to herself.
Scootaloo walked all the way to the CMC clubhouse. She walked up the ladder and opened the door. Once she was inside, a cool breeze filled the room, sending a chill through Scootaloo's spine.
"Heh, its like Nightmare Moon is in here." Scootaloo said with a yawn. "Better get some shut eye."
Scootaloo laid down on the cold, wooden floor. She didn't have a pillow or blanket but she didn't complain.
"Goodnight.." she said to herself as she quickly fell asleep. But she didn't notice one thing in the room, well not really in the room.
She didn't notice that there was a certain night alicorn standing out of her window...
