Could This End?

Chapter two

Apple Bloom’s eyes fluttered open, her hooves were entwined with Nightfall’s and their noses were touching. His bright eyes opened too.

“Uh oh, I’ve got to get to Sweet Apple Acres!” Apple Bloom got out of the bed.

“Applejack is going to kill you.” Nightfall chewed on his hooves.

“It’s not Applejack I’m worried about, she left for Canterlot yesterday.”

“Aren’t Big Mac and Granny at the produce comp.?”

“Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo came over last night and we had a sleepover.” Nightfall’s face changed.

“Oh don’t worry, they’re your friends, they’ll understand.” His words calmed Apple Bloom somewhat. “C’mon, we have to get to school quick.” Apple Bloom smiled.

“Race ya.”

“Oh it’s on.” They tumbled out of the window and ran as fast as they could, Nightfall’s house was closer to the school house than Apple Bloom’s was so it was much easier. Apple Bloom was surprised by his speed, she had been working on the farm all her life and he was just as fast as her! His wings started to flap as he tried to gain more speed.

“Hey, no wings!” He grinned at her and stopped flapping, by the time they got to the school house, Nightfall was tired so she won just by an inch. “Darn your fast!” Apple Bloom panted. He opened his mouth to say something but the bell rang. The two ponies ran inside and got to their seats.

“Alright, my little ponies, time to take roll.” Cherilee said as the ponies piled in. “Silver Spoon?” She raised her hand. “Diamond Tiara?” She raised her hand as well. The ponies kept raising their hands. “Peppermint Twist? Featherweight? Pipsqueak? Apple Bloom?” Apple Bloom raised hers. “Scootaloo? Sweetie Belle? Nightfall? Button Mash? Rumble? Snips? Snails? Dinky? Golden Rise? Blueberry Punch? Great you’re all here. Now before we start, I’d like to make a special announcement. Diamond Tiara begged me and now I can give my final answer; there’s going to be a Hearts and Hooves day dance!” Cherilee declared, the class cheered. “Now, naturally the boys will ask the girls and don’t feel left out if you don’t get asked.”

“You better, ‘cause there’s nine girls and seven boys!” Diamond Tiara joked to Silver Spoon. “I have a feeling some blank flanks will be dancing by themselves.” They laughed.

“Or it could be you two!” Scootaloo accused.

“Us?” She shared a look with Silver Spoon. “You must be brain dead.” Scootaloo started to rise out of her seat in anger.

“Scootaloo, no talking to other ponies in class.” Cherilee scolded. “As I was saying, the magic Celestia, Luna, A princess named Cadance and Twilight Sparkle is very powerful, they don’t just have wings and a horn. They have the strength of an earth pony, the agility of a Pegasus and the magic of a unicorn, but even more powerful than that. We were going have Princess Twilight explain things about being an Alicorn, but it’s seems she’s a bit busy.” The class groaned.

“Oh yeah, she’s at Canterlot with Cadance and Shining Armour. Applejack said they had somethin’ immortant to tell them.” The class turned and looked at Apple Bloom.

“How did you know about that?” Diamond Tiara asked snottily.

“Oh yeah, Rarity told me about that, she thinks they’re going to have a baby.” Sweetie Belle squeaked.

“Yeah right,” Silver Spoon huffed. “They’re probably just making that up.” The kids turned away and blew through their noses sharply.

“They weren’t lying!” Scootaloo yelled.

“Scootaloo, what did I say about talking in class?” Cherilee clicked her tongue. Scootaloo groaned. Class went by slowly, alicorns weren’t nearly as interesting as Apple Bloom thought. Once the bell rung, she slowly rose to her feet. She needed to pee, she walked over to the bathroom door but paused when she heard voices coming from inside.

“So, who do you want to ask you to the Hearts and Hooves day dance?” The voice of Silver Spoon said.

“Personally, I totally think Nightfall’s cute.” Diamond Tiara answered. Don’t even dare. Apple Bloom thought.

“Nightfall? I like Rumble.”

“Ooh, Rumble.” Diamond giggled. Apple Bloom needed to stop this. She took a breath and pushed open the door.

“I don’t think either will ask you.” Apple Bloom said nonchalantly and pushed open a stall door, before it could close, Diamond stopped it.

“What makes you think that?” Diamond asked nasally.

“One; Rumble and Nightfall don’t wanna dance with heartless jerks, two; Nightfall has eyes for somepony else, and three-.”

“Oh really? He only has eyes for me, and to prove that I’m going to ask him.” Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow and followed Diamond Tiara out of the bathroom. Diamond spotted him quickly on the playground and trotted over. “Nightfall, can I go to the Hearts and Hooves dance with you?” Nightfall broke into laughter, Diamond’s eyes widened. “What?”

“Oh that’s hilarious. Sorry, Apple Bloom and I are already going.” Apple Bloom blushed, he hadn’t even asked her.

“You!” she sputtered. “And puh-p APPLE BLOOM!?!”

“Yeah, of course.” He smiled and stood beside her. Apple Bloom felt a smile spread across her face.

“Come one, DT, let’s go ask Rumble…DT?” Silver Spoon said.

“How could you?” Diamond Tiara accused him. “I gave you everything!”

Nightfall cocked his head to the side in confusion. “What are you talking about, I don’t even know you.”

“Come on! DT!” Silver Spoon dragged Diamond away.

“What was that?” Nightfall turned to me.

Apple Bloom sniggered. “I have no idea.”

“Why did you leave last night?” Scootaloo jumped next to Apple Bloom.

“AHH!” Apple Bloom gave a shriek. “You scared me ta death right there.”

“Why. Did. You. Leave. Last. Night?”

“Because…” Apple Bloom trailed off. “I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t wanna disturb ya’ll so I left.” Scootaloo’s eyes narrowed.

“I don’t believe you.” She stated bluntly. “Tell me the truth.”

“That is the truth, I… I also went to another friend’s house.” Scootaloo’s eyes widened.

“Without us? You left us to be with another friend?” She said, hurt written all across her face. Apple Bloom felt guilt pour inside her.

“No! Well….” She glanced at Nightfall. “It wasn’t exactly a pony, it was…a bear.”

“A bear?” Scootaloo asked confused.

“Yeah, Fluttershy needed help ta calm him down.”

“A bear?” She asked again, raising her eyebrows with an ‘I don’t believe that’ face. “I can’t believe you would lie to me.” She said shaking her head. Water started to brim from her eyes. She dashed away.

“Scootaloo, wait!” The pony kept running. “I…I.” She said in shock. Scootaloo ran over to Sweetie Belle crying and Sweetie Belle gave Apple Bloom a glare like daggers. “Sweetie Belle.” Apple Bloom whispered. Rumble came and rubbed Scootaloo’s back, also giving Apple Bloom a glare. He hugged her. “I can’t believe it.” Apple Bloom said, tears of her own forming in her amber eyes. Nightfall put a hoof on her back.

“No!” She shoved it off. “You said they would understand!” Nightfall opened his mouth, but no words came out. “You’re the one who got me into this mess anyway.” Nightfall’s face hardened.

“I got you into this mess?” He yelled back. “You’re the one who came to my house last night!”

“You were completely fine with it then!” Apple Bloom screamed. He looked at her angry and ran away too.

“Fine!” He yelled behind his back.

“Fine!” She squeaked. She felt a tear drop onto her coat. She stood there alone, all her friends abandoned her. Why? She thought.

“Oh, looks like Nightfall didn’t want to go with the blank flank after all.” Diamond Tiara walked up to her.

“Go away, Diamond Tiara.” Apple Bloom said not looking up.

“Why? You humiliated me. Your nothing but a big bully.” Anger surged through Apple Bloom.

“I’m nothing but a big bully.” She yelled standing up, her eyes were red. “What about you!”

“You’re the one who constantly ignores me like I’m the most annoying pony ever! You talk about me behind my back!”

“You’re the one who constantly yells at me, I’m so horrible, so lame, such a blank flank. I never did anything to you!” Diamond Tiara’s eyes widened.

“It-it-i.” She stuttered. “It was just a joke.” She mumbled. “I was teasing you, I didn’t know it hurt your feelings, it was supposed to be tough love.”

“Are you joking?! Then why were you so mean about it.”

“At first it was a joke! But then, you kept ignoring me and not talking to me, You are the one who hurt my feelings.”

“Because you were so mean!” Diamond’s head hung low.

“I’m sorry.” She mumbled.

“I’m sorry too.” Apple Bloom said. Diamond Tiara brightened.

“Hey, let’s hang out. You look lonely, we could start fresh and be friends.” She suggested. Apple Bloom smiled.

“I’d like that.”
