//------------------------------// // Apple Bloom // Story: Spider Stories // by Shimmer Shy //------------------------------// Apple Bloom scrambled up the ladder to the CMC treehouse, breathing heavily. Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were already there waiting for her. "Woah, what's wrong, Apple Bloom?" Scoots exclaimed at the disastrous sight of her friend. "Them-They're coming-Hide!" Apple Bloom stuttered. "Who?" Sweetie Belle asked in her high-pitched voice, Apple Bloom took a breath and tried to calm herself down. "The spiders! They attacked Applejack, and I'm sure they aren't far behind!" Her two friends shared a look. "Attacked? But they're so friendly!" Sweetie squeaked. Apple Bloom then noticed a tiny, red-eyed spider jump out of her hair and onto her hoof, then nuzzle her cheek. Her eyes widened as another did with Scootaloo. "No! You guys've been poisoned! I can't trust anyone anymore!" She told herself, then ran out of the clubhouse, screaming. "Wait! Apple Bloom!" Scootaloo called, but she was long gone. "What's up with her?" Sweetie Belle shrugged and continued playing with her spider. Scoots raised an eyebrow before setting hers down, as well.
