It was cold and wet once again. Come on weather maker Pegasi, why so much rain ?! You might make Ponyville or even Equestria into sea water if this continues !! It was also was getting dark. It had to stop raining soon, but it could rain again anytime.
There were only five days left until Hearth's Warming day.
“Yep it's me, The leader of the The Cutie Mark Crusaders”. Apple Bloom said with a laugh.
“This is so great !!” Gallop Crush said as she wiped away her tears.
“Why's that?” Apple Bloom said looking confused.
“Well I need to talk to you. And it will be great If I could also talk to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo as well.” Gallop Crush said hopefully.
“Why do you need to talk to us?” Apple Bloom asked.
“I am in search of my Cutie Mark and I was hoping that the The Cutie Mark Crusaders could help me with my quest.” Gallop Crush answered.
“I've been searching and searching. But I still don't have one. I even rang your CMC's helpline and I was like 900th in the queue. I want it now!!” Gallop said desperately.
“Seriously !! You were 900th in the queue? And by the way, that's my line.” Apple Bloom replied.
“Sorry. Yes, I gave up with the helpline and then decided to come to Ponyville and look for you instead”. Said Gallop.
“Well I think we need to hire some stuff and that means I have to pay them..... Sakes alive !!” Apple Bloom said disappointed.
It started to rain again and to make things worse, the wind started to howl.
“So little one, You want our help? We'll be happy to help you.” Apple Bloom said.
Wait, I heard somepony say that before !!
“Say what?” Apple Bloom asked.
“Little one. Oh I think I'm going to have a mental break down !!” Gallop answered and then started to panic.
“Hey now, take it easy. Here take this and take a few deep breaths to calm down. Apple Bloom said. Then she gave Gallop Crash a cardboard bag and Gallop then took some deep breaths and started to calm down. A few minutes later:
“So first, what your.......” Before Apple Bloom could finish the sentence, There was a bolt of lightning which hit a big tree that was underneath her. It started to fall. Apple Bloom didn't see this, but Gallop Crush did. Without thinking Gallop Crush flew at Apple Bloom and pushed her out of the way as the tree came falling down to the ground. Then there was a loud crash.
Apple Bloom and Gallop Crush were in shock to see what had just happened. The big tree was blocking the path back to Ponyville. There was silence and then Apple Bloom spoke.
“Wow !! You save my life !! She said with amazement. You save my life.” She then said quietly and then she hugged Gallop Crush tightly around the middle.
“Thank you so much !! Thank you so so much !!” Apple Bloom said crying.
“You're Welcome. I just acted quickly”. Gallop Crush said with a blush
“Oh and my name is Gallop Crush” Gallop said.
Apple Bloom blush and smiled.
“WHAT IN TARNATION HAPPENED OVER HERE ?!” A country pony came running up to the fence and looked shocked.
“Apple Bloom, Are you okay?” Applejack said worried.
“I'm fine now sis. Gallop Crush here saved my life.” Apple Bloom said tearfully.
“Whose Gallop Crush?” Applejack asked.
“Um I am”. Gallop Crush said as she went towards Apple Bloom and blushed.
Applejack looked at Gallop Crush and then hugged her. Gallop Crush blushed even more.
“Where yer from Gallop Crush?” Applejack asked.
“Well at the moment I'm staying at Sugar Cube Conner with Pinkie Pie. Me and my mum are on holiday. I'm from Cloudsdale originally. ” Gallop Crush said.
“Well you won't be able to go back tonight. I need to get Twilight to help me clear that tree” Applejack said.
“So where will I sleep tonight?” Gallop said looking worried.
“Don't worry Sugar cube, I'll call Pinkie Pie and tell your mother what happened, She'll understand”. Applejack said convincingly.
Gallop Crush smiled and said
“Thank you so much, You are so kind”. Gallop said looking appreciated, relieved and happy.
“It's the least we can do.” Applejack said looking happy.
“Well we better go inside, both of you. Look at us we're getting soaked”. Said Applejack.
Gallop Crush, Apple Bloom and Applejack then galloped (sorry for the pun) back to the house.
All three were now inside and there was a warm fire and it sure felt cosy.
“Make yourself at home Gallop Crush. Oh, and what is your mother's name?” Applejack said and asked.
“Clover Cumulon”. Gallop answered.
“Okay thank you, I'll call Pinkie Pie right now.”
Applejack went to the phone that was in the hall and dialled Pinkie Pie's number 746-543-743, it started to ring.
“Hello Pinkie Pie's Cake Topping's here. Hi Applejack, How may I help you?” Pinkie Pie said.
“How'd you know it was me Pinkie?” Applejack asked looking puzzled
“Caller ID, duh !!” Pinkie Pie responded.
“Oh right, um anyway, Can I talk to Mrs. Clover Cumulon please?” Applejack said.
“Ok then, hold the line please” Pinkie Pie said.
The “Smile Smile Smile” theme song started to play when she was put on hold.
“Hello, this is Clover Cumulon.” Clover said five minutes after the song was played. (It probably ended. You might know that already) It was about to play again until:
“Oh hi. My name's Applejack and I have your daughter Gallop Crush with me here at Sweet Apple Acres.” Applejack said.
“Oh she is? Oh, I've been so worried.” Clover said panicking.
“Don't worry Clover, She's fine and dandy. There's just been a accident. A bolt of lightning hit a tree and is now blocking the path back to Ponyville. It can't be cleared until the morning. Your daughter saved my little dear Apple Bloom's life. She's my little sister.” Applejack said.
Clover could not believe what she hearing but she knew Applejack wouldn't lie. And she also knew that she represents the element of honesty. Then Clover spoke:
“Oh she met one of The Cutie Mark Crusaders then?” Clover said.
“She sure did. I'll get Twilight to help me with the tree and I will bring her back to you in the morning.”
“Oh thank you so much Applejack, you are so kind” Clover said relieved.
“Oh it's my pleasure ma'am. I'll talk to you soon.” Applejack said.
“Thank you and see you soon” Clover replied.
Applejack hung up the phone and went back to where Apple Bloom and Gallop Crush was.
“Well your mother's happy now yer save Gallop Crush and oh we got a guest upstairs too”. Applejack said and then winked at Apple Bloom without Gallop noticing.
“Thank you so much”. Gallop Crush said
“Oh, my pleasure sugar cube” Applejack said.
Applejack went to her room so she can call Twilight on her mobile. (cell phone).
“Oh whose this guest? Gallop Crush asked.
“It's my cousin, Bab Seed. She only came today and she's in bed.” Apple Bloom said.
“She the one who set up The Cutie Mark Crusaders Manhattan branch right?” Gallop asked
Apple Bloom laughed.
“My, it seems you've done your homework Gallop.” Apple Bloom said amazed.
Gallop Crush blushed.
“Yes I did” Gallop said.
“Well Gallop, We need to make a plan with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle On how we can help you get your Cutie Mark.” Apple Bloom told her.
“Oh when will that be?” Gallop asked.
“We can meet up two days from now. There lots of planing to do. We've been so busy.” Said Apple Bloom.
“Oh that'll be great !! Thanks”. Gallop says looking happy.
“You're welcome and thanks again for saving my life.” Apple Bloom said with a blush
“Oh, It was nothing.” Gallop said.
“It does to me Gallop and don't worry I'm not going to count all the blades of grass in Sweet Apple Acres, like Spike did.” Apple Bloom said.
“Wait Spike counted all the blades of grass in Sweet Apple Acres?!” Gallop asked in disbelief.
“Yeah he did. He said there are exactly twenty four million five hundred and sixty seven thousand, eight hundred and thirty seven blades of grass at Sweet Apple Acres. Well that's another story.” Apple Bloom said.
“Hee Hee. it'll be funny to know later on” Gallop said.
“Yep. Applejack'll tell ya the story about that. Apple Bloom said.
Gallop smiled.
“Well now. Let's make a plan on how we “The Cutie Mark Crusaders” can help you get your mark” !! Apple Bloom said and looked happy and determined .
Both Apple Bloom and Gallop Crush put their thinking caps on as they started to make the plans.
