CMC All Grown Up

by SweetyBelleluvsu

Apple Bloom's grown-up day

Apple Bloom was on her way home to Sweet Apple Acres when she was stopped by some ponies.

"You hoo!" The voice called, "Do you live here?"

It was Sweetie's mother, Pearl necklace, and her father, Magnum.

"Um, yes," Apple Bloom hesitated, "How can ah help you?"

"Oh, we don't mean to trouble you!" Pearl said, "We just need directions to Sweetie Belle's house! Do you think you can do that for us?"

"Um, ah, um," Apple Bloom started, "They live that way! Just go around the orchard and you will find it!"

"Thanks kiddo!" Magnum said.

As they headed off, Apple Bloom broke into a run, as fast as she could towards Sweetie Belles house.

"Sweetie! Sweetie!" She called as she neared the old clubhouse, "Sweetie! Ah came to- Rumble? What are you doing- Oh, pony-feathers. Rumble, I wouldn't be here right now!"

"Why?" Rumble asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah could be giving you the long story, but I shall give you the short instead considering they are on their way right now." Apple Bloom said, "Sweetie Belle's parents are at Sweet Apple Acres, asking where her house is, so they can visit."

"What?!" Sweetie screamed, "But, but, Apple Bloom, what did you tell them?!"

"Ah gave my apple's honor to granny, that I wouldn't tell a lie again," Apple Bloom said, "So ah told them where the clubhouse was. However, I told them how to get here the long way. They could be here in five minutes! Rumble, you need to go!"

"Alright!" Rumble said, "I'm guessing that they still never forgave me for leaving?"

"Nope!" Sweetie said, "Not one bit. Dad said that if he ever saw you again, he would skin you alive in town square."

"Oi!" Rumble said, "Then I better get going! Sweetie, I'll see you and Emerald-"

"You hoo! Oh Sweetie Belle!" A voice in the orchard yelled.

"Later..." Rumble finished, "I'm dead."

"Sweetie, darling!" Pearl said as she came through the door, "How are you-"

"Rumble?!" Magnum said from the doorway. "What are YOU doing here?"

"I um... came for a visit?" Rumble said.

"Honey, we talked about this." Pearl said, "Try to keep calm."

"Calm? Calm!" Magnum raged, "This brat left our daughter, and grand-daughter alone for ten years, and is trying to get back in the family?! Why I oughta!"

At this point Apple Bloom ran to cover Emerald's ears. She got there just in time too. After Magnum had raged on Rumble, causing him to shake with fear. Apple Bloom released her hold on Emeralds ears, but she didn't leave her.

"Sir," Rumble said shakily, "May I explain why I left?"

"Make it snappy!" Magnum said, stretching his forelegs, as if he was about to fight a 10,000 pound stallion.

As Rumble told the story of how he had to leave, the hatred on Magnums face began to lift.

"Well, son," Magnum said, "I guess I need to apologize. I was just upset that some-pony would just leave our family. May I have a private word with you?"

"Um, I guess so," Rumble said, "Sweetie, I will be right back."

"Okay." Sweetie said, "Dad, can you try not to kill him?"

"What?!" Rumble squeaked.

"Don't worry, Sweetie," Magnum reassured her, "I wont."

As they headed out, Emerald just watched until her grandma came over to her, and gave her a hug.

"Well," Apple Bloom said, "I'm going to head back home."

"Bye, Apple Bloom, see you tomorrow! Sweetie said, as she blew up an air mattress to sleep on in the clubhouse for the night.

The next morning, at 6:45 am, Applebloom was painting a beautiful picture of Sweet Apple Acres. As she looked across the field with her eyes in awe. Suddenly she saw a figure running towards her.

"Oh, hi Sweetie Belle! What brought you over this early?" Apple Bloom said, adding the finishing touches to her masterpiece.

Sweetie Belle stopped in front of Apple Bloom, and started panting from all the running. "I... Need... To.... Tell...." Sweetie caught her breath, and said "I need to tell you something amazing!!"

"Go ahead Sweetie, I'm not stopping you!" Apple Bloom said with a friendly smile on her face.

Sweetie put her hooves on Apple Blooms shoulders, and screamed, "I'm getting married! Rumble proposed!!!"

Apple Bloom dropped her paintbrush is shock "NO WAY!!! THATS SOO AMAZING!!! So, you, Babs and I are all getting married!! This is SOO awesome!!! When did you plan the wedding?"

"April fourth!!!" Sweetie said jumping up and down in excitement. Suddenly, Apple Blooms face dropped in horror.

"That's my wedding date!" Apple Bloom said covering her mouth with her hoof.

"Oh no... I'm so sorry, is there anything we can do?" Sweetie Belle said, as she sat down in saddness, and confusion.

"Well I suppose we could have a double wedding!" Apple Bloom said, smiling.

"No, that's impossible. Nopony has ever done that before." Sweetie said, frowning.

"No it isn't! Let's do it!" Apple Bloom said with excitement. "We'll just have to go to the engagement building, to fill out the paperwork!" The two hugged really tight, and didn't even notice their two best friends running up to them.

Suddenly, Scootaloo, and Babs Seed joined their hug.

"Wait, why are we hugging you?" Scootaloo said, letting go of the hug.

"I have amazing news!!! That's why I'm here." Babs said with a happy face. "Me, and Snails found a home in PonyVille, and we're moving in today!!" Babs said, screaming in excitement.

"Yay! I'm so excited for you, Babs, but I'm sure Sweeties news is a lot more exciting!!" Apple Bloom said. "Go ahead, tell them!"

"I'm getting married on the same day as Apple Bloom, and we're having a double wedding!!" Sweetie Belle screamed in excitement.

"Is that even possible? A double wedding? But other than that, congratulations Sweetie!!" Babs said, hugging Sweetie with all her might.

"We're going to find out! We have to go to the engagement building!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Wait a second, Sweetie, you don't even have a special somepony!!! Who is your fiancé?" Scootaloo said, with a confused expression.

"It's Rumble Lane!!! He came back yesterday, and proposed!!" Sweetie Belle said with excitement.

"Wait, he wouldn't happen to be a grey pegasus with a black spikey mane would he? Because if so, he auditioned for the Wonderbolts with me yesterday!!"

"Yup! That's him!" Sweetie Belle said, proudly.

"Well, I'm really happy for you Sweetie Belle! He's quite the flyer!" Scootaloo said smiling, and giving her a huge hug.

"How about we celebrate, and go visit my new house! I'll lead the way." Babs said, as she walked in to Pony-Ville, her three best friends following her.

As the four friends headed to Babs house, they discussed wedding plans.

"We're going to have Emerald be the flower filly, for the double wedding!" Sweetie said, "What do you guys think?"

"I think that would be awesome!" Babs said excitedly, "Can Emerald be the flower filly for my wedding too?"

"I think she would love it!" Sweetie exclaimed, "Now, about the attire."

"Yeah, do you think Rarity will volunteer for making all the wedding dresses, and the bridal dresses Sweetie?" Apple Bloom said kicking a rock in to a puddle.

"Well, I'll have to ask her. But she still hasn't completely forgiven Rumble... But I'm sure she'll come around! It all depends on if Babs, and Scoots will be the mares of honor. What do you girls think?"

"Oh, that would be epic!" Scootaloo said, "I would love to! So, are you having any other brides mares?"

"Well, if Sweetie doesn't care," Apple Bloom said, "I would kind of like to have Twist be another mare of honor. Oh, and she has to make the wedding cakes! They are just sublime!"

"Yes," Sweetie said, putting her hoof in the air, as a light bulb appeared over her head. "We should invite Twist! Oh, and we can't forget about Dinky!"

"Very true!" Apple Bloom said, "So Babs, we have been talking about our wedding the entire trip here. What should we plan for yours?"

"Well," Babs started, "I was hoping that you all could be my brides mares!"

"Oh," Sweetie exclaimed, "I love it! Of coarse we will!"

"I'm in!" Apple Bloom said, smiling "I can't wait!"

"Ditto for me Babs!" Scootaloo said, "Wow, it seems that you all are getting married, and I don't even have a special some-pony." She looked down at the ground, and frowned

"Oh, come on Scoots," Apple Bloom said, lifting Scootaloo's chin up with her hoof. "You are just as special as we are. Your an amazing flyer, and theres no other pony in Equestria that has amazing scooter skills like you do!"

"Yeah!" Babs said.

"Think of it this way Scoots," Sweetie said, "It's like waiting for your cutie mark. You can't rush a thing like this. these things take time. And the longer you wait, the better the outcome."

"Wow," Scootaloo sighed as she kicked a rock, "You know what, you're right Sweetie! I shouldn't be so glum about it. So, Babs, what are we wearing to your wedding?"

"Well, I was thinking about our CMC uniforms," Babs exclaimed, "We do nothing with them anymore, and this could be like a reunion! And my wedding won't be very formal anyways!"

"I like it!" Apple Bloom said.

"Are you serious?" Sweetie exclaimed, "I was the one who designed them! I feel so honored!"

The girls made it to Babs house and admired the architecture.

"Wow! This is an amazing house! Sparks promised me that he would buy us a house after the marraige! I hope it's as funerific as this one!" Apple Bloom picked up a snow globe, and shook it.

Scootaloo zoomed in, and grabbed the snow globe from Apple Blooms hooves. "Wow, that's so awesome! Considering your still living In your granny's house!" Scootaloo laughed, and stared in to the little snow flakes of the globe.

"Well, I'm real happy for you Apple Bloom! But we have to get to the engagement office soon, or they will close!" Babs Seed said, as she grabbed the snow globe from Scootaloo, and set it back on the shelf.

Sweetie Belle told Apple Bloom,"I'll go get Rumble! Make sure it's a surprise, so when you get to the building, close Sparks' eyes, see you soon!" She darted out the door, and headed towards the clubhouse.

"Babs, Scootaloo, you girls can stay here. We have some forms to fill out!!" Apple Bloom said super excitedly, as she trotted out of Babs' house, toward Sweet-Apple Acres, so she could find Sparks.

"Hey Sparks, wow your home early! Well, anyways I need you to come with me right now! No questions asked! I just know you'll love it!" Apple Bloom said, as she tied a cloth napkin around his head, and leading him somewhere he couldn't see.

Apple Bloom met Sweetie Belle at the outside of the engagement building. They had both of their stallions blind-folded.

"I will take this off of your eyes soon! Just be patient!" Sweetie Belle said, as she pushed a struggling Rumble Lane in the door. Then Apple Bloom followed in after her.

They took the blindfolds, and put a peice of paper in front of them. "Sign here!" Said Apple Bloom.

"Umm, what is this?" Said Rumble, taking the pen in his mouth, and signing the paper.

"I'll tell you later" Apple Bloom said, taking a different pen in her mouth, and signing it. After all four ponies signed the document, they handed it to the buisness mare at the front desk. She set the paper in her desk, and continued writing on her typewriter.

"Thank you?" Sweetie Belle said really confused.

"No problem. See you on the fourth." Said the mare with no enthusiasm.

"Okay, then..." Sweetie said to the mare. "Tell him everything when you get home, Apple Bloom!" Sweetie, and Apple Bloom ran to their own houses with their fiancé's following close behind.

Once Apple Bloom stopped at the front door of Sweet-Apple Acres, she caught her breath, and screamed in excitement, "You just signed a form saying that you will have a double wedding with Sweetie Belle, and Rumble!! It turns out, we both signed up for the same day, before we even knew eachother were getting married! So we had the perfect idea, that was a double wedding! And now all the paperwork is done, so YAY!!!"

"Bloomy," Sparks said, "Are you sure? I mean, that has never been done before! Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?"

"It's already done. of course I'm sure!" Apple Bloom said frowning. "What's the matter? You've never acted like this before towards good news. Something must be wrong. Sparks, I don't want any secrets in our relationship."

"Bloomy," Sparks sighed, "I can't tell you, you wouldn't understand."

"I understand," Apple Bloom said, "I understand, That I have a lying fiancé, who is keeping a secret that should be told! Sparks, trust me, I know from personal experience. Tell me what's going on!"

"Fine, I got laid off today." Sparks looked down at the ground, and started crying.

"What?!" Apple Bloom gasped, not believing what she was being told, "No, Sparks, this is not funny!"

"It's not a joke," Sparks replied, "The place where I work has gone out of business, and now there are plenty of ponies without a job. Apple Bloom, I'm afraid that I can't get the house that we wanted to buy now."

"What?!" Apple Bloom nearly shouted, "No, Sparks, this is not a funny joke!"

"Apple Bloom!" Sparks shouted, As they stood right outside of the barn. "This is not a joke! Would I lie about something like this?!"

"I thought you wouldn't, but I just don't know anymore!" Apple Bloom shouted back, tears in her eyes.

"Apple Bloom!" Sparks yelled, "This is serious! I don't have a job. I looked around already, and no-pony else is hiring! Bloomy, we don't have a place to live anymore."

"But," Apple Bloom said, ready to burst into tears, "What are we going to do? How can we get married, and not have a home?!"

Apple Bloom burst into tears and hugged Sparks. They both stood crying in eachothers arms. They heard the door open.

"Sorry for interrupting this moment," Macintosh said, "But we could hear you in the house. Now, please tell me what's going on."

Sparks started to talk but was interrupted by Apple Bloom.

"Oh, Mac!" She cried, "It's awful! Sparks lost his job and now we can't get the home we wanted to get! Oh, Mac, what are we going to do?!"

Macintosh looked at Sparks, and Sparks nodded his head.

"Apple Bloom," Mac said, "Look at me, we can figure something out! Now, how about we get some sleep. I'm sure some shut-eye will do us some good."

"Alright," Apple Bloom said, "Goodnight Sparks."

Apple Bloom headed into the house, and Mac was about to do the same when Sparks stopped him.

"Macintosh," He said, "May I speak with you for a bit?"

"Eeyup!" Mac replied.

"Well," Sparks started, "As you know, I lost my job and we can't get the home we wanted. and, well, now I'm stuck without a place to stay."

"What?" Mac exclaimed.

"Well, where I was staying, was for the employees that worked there. Now that there are no employees, there are no places for them to live."

"Well Sparks," Mac said, "I guess you can stay with Apple Bloom tonight. Just no funny business! Ya hear?"

"Understood sir," Sparks said, giving an apples honor. "And thank you for your kind offering!"

"You're welcome Sparks," Mac said, letting him in the door. Then went to sleep for the night.

The next day Apple Bloom woke up feeling something around her chest.

"What on earth could that be?" Apple Bloom thought.

She turned over and to her surprise, Sparks was in the bed as well.

"Sparks!" She exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

"Five more minutes." He mumbled half asleep.

She creamed him with her, as he called it, "rock hard pillow."

"Yeow!" Sparks yelped, "What was that for?!" Now sitting up

"It was to wake you up, so you could tell me why you are here!" Apple Bloom exclaimed, "Get talkin'!"

"Fine." Sparks said, as he yawned, "You know how I got laid off? Well all of the ponies who worked there, lived in a building owned by the company. Well, since the company closed, I don't have a place to stay. Mac said I could stay here though. Now if you excuse me, I would like to visit slumber-land again."

She creamed him again.

"Yeow!" He yelped again, "Would you stop that?!"

"Never!" She said in a playful tone, "I am glad that Mac let you could stay here!"

"You and me both!" He exclaimed, "But as Mac said, no funny business!"

"I know, I know." Apple bloom sighed, "Come on! Let's go get breakfast, find you a job, and a house!"

"Bloomy," Sparks said, "You don't know how long that would take."

"But we have two weeks!" Apple Bloom said excitedly, "We have some time!"

"Bloomy," Sparks said, "How about we work on wedding details? You said yourself that we have two weeks!"

"I know," Apple Bloom sighed, "Have it your way!"

She kicked the covers off, went to her dresser, and started to work with her mane. When she finished with her mane, she noticed that Sparks was gone. She then heard a yell from downstairs.

"What the hay are you doing here?!"

Applejack saw Sparks. Apple Bloom rushed down the stairs to see how her lover was coping with an infuriated Applejack.

"I wont ask again!" Applejack raged, "Why are you here?!"

Sparks was on the floor near a wall, clutching his stomach.

"Applejack!" Apple Bloom shouted, "What did you do to Sparks?!"

"I kicked him a good one!" Applejack said, "Now, if you will. Tell me why on earth this stallion is even close to you!"

"Didn't Mac tell you?" Apple Bloom said, "He was my coltfriend!"

"Was is right!" Apple Jack said glaring at Sparks who was still clutching his stomach and gasping for air, "Get on with the explanation!"

Apple Bloom had a thought cross her mind and she smirked.

"Oh don't worry Applejack," Apple Bloom said slyly, "He is not my colt friend any more!"

Sparks caught on to what Apple Bloom was saying, and started leaning toward her, and tried his best not to grin.

"You better make sure that he aint your coltfriend any more!" Applejack raged.

"Oh, don't worry A.J.," Apple Bloom said, "He's not my coltfriend anymore."

"Good!" Applejack said, ready to throw Sparks out of the house.

"He's my fiancé!" Apple Bloom said catching A.J. of guard.

"Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! NOPE!" Applejack said, "There aint no way I am letting you do that!"

Apple Bloom's sly smile grew wider, and Sparks could not contain his smile.

"But I guess that I can let you do that!" Mac said as he walked in the doorway, looking at Applejack with his eyebrow up. "Morning Bloomy, Morning Sparks, cool off A.J."

"Is that all you have to say?!" Apple Jack said in fury, "Cool off A.J.? This young mare get a coltfriend, and got engaged without telling us!"

"Applejack!" Apple Bloom yelled at her sister. Her blood was boiling, she could not believe what her sister was saying! "Shut up!"

This surprised Applejack enough that she took a few steps back.

"No, I didn't NOT tell you that I had a coltfriend and I just recently got engaged! It's just that you are so wrapped up in your own little world, of going and seeing that stupid Soarin all of the time! Dont think I don't know what you do while you're up there, because I figured it out on my own!"

Now Mac was getting surprised, he looked at A.J. and then back at Apple Bloom.

"And here you go, trying to keep your so called happy life in a secret, and you are trying to keep me and Sparks apart! Well guess what? He aint going anywhere! This is our home until the wedding! Now if you will excuse me, at least I'm eatin' breakfast in town. Sparks, if you want to come, come on. I need to get out of here for a while."

Apple Bloom stomped out of the house, her blood still boiling from her sister trying to tell her who to be. Sparks followed her, and they soon were at Crem-De-La Mare. By this point, Sparks had managed to calm Apple Bloom down.

"I'm sorry about what I did back there," Apple Bloom apologized, "I was just mad."

"It's ok Bloomy," Sparks said as he watched Apple Blooms eyes move elsewhere, "I am positive that Applejack will forgive you! Just try not to get that angry. You need to work on your anger issues- are you even listening to me?"

"What?" Apple Bloom said, "Oh, sorry Sparks, but a stallion just put a sign in the window. Give me one second to read it... Oh my Celestia Sparks!" Her eyes got wide, as a huge smile appeared on her face.

"What?" Sparks said, "What is it? What does it say?"

"It says, 'Help wanted, see a waiter for details' Sparks! This could be your chance! You could be a waiter!"

"Bloomy!" Sparks exclaimed, "I don't even know what the job is!"

"May I help you?" The waiter said as he came to the table.

"Yes," Apple Bloom said, "We would like to know the details on the job opening."

"Ah, an amazing job at that!" The waiter said, "We are searching for a manager who can help with ordering, and other things as well."

"Sparks!" Apple Bloom exclaimed, "Isn't that what you used to do?!"

"Yes," Sparks thought for a moment, "Sir, how can a stallion like me, get a job interview around here?"

"Follow me." The waiter said, as he set down his notebook on the table.

Ten minutes later, the happy couple walked out of the restaurant with smiles, and a job for Sparks.

"Wait, why are we hugging you?" Scootaloo said, letting go of the hug.

You just hugged someone with out knowing why?

"Fine, I got laid off today." Sparks looked down at the ground, and started crying.

AJ really needs to cool down man.

Great chapter. I liked it.

The plot thickens, I didn't know we had a plot. I love the personalization of the characters!
