S03E04 One Bad Apple
The three fillies stared as Babs Seed walked off with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, their pumpkin float in a million pieces somewhere down the hill.
"What just happened?" Applebloom asked, still in a daze.
Scootaloo shook her head. "I think Babs just went to the dark side."
"We have to tell Applejack!" Sweetie Belle pointed out.
"No! We're not snitches!" Apple Bloom replied.
Scootaloo was quick to join in: "Yeah! And we're not babies!"
Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. "Really, girls? It's not like we have to run to her crying. Just leave this to me."

The other two fillies reluctantly followed behind as Sweetie Belle approached Applejack.
As soon as she saw the three coming, Applejack paused her work for a moment. "Howdy, y'all! What are you three up to today?"
Sweetie Belle cut the other two off with a raised hoof. "Oh, we're just repairing our parade float."
"Repairing?" Applejack wiped her sweat and then stared at them. "I thought y'all were finished with that thing already."
"Well, we were until Babs broke it."
"She what now?"
"Yeah, sent it rolling down the hill to smash so she could look cool in front of a couple bullies."
Applejack's eyes narrowed. "I've gotta give that filly one hey of a talkin' to. You three just wait here. I'll---"
"That's okay, Applejack." Sweetie Belle stepped in her way. "We just came to ask you if you had any extra wagon wheels we could use."
"Sure thing, Sugarcube, in the back of the barn behind the hay bales. But I'm still gonna have a word with that filly. She oughta know better."
Sweetie Belle shrugged as Applejack stormed off. "If that's what you want to do." She waited a moment until Applejack was well out of earshot. "You see girls, that's how you tattle without being a baby about it."
They nodded in wide-eyed appreciation.

Pretty sure she would have just blasted the door with her magics. ^.^
I happened to think about this series yesterday and wondered if you were planning on doing the third season. It looks like you read my mind.
As with the two before it, I'll track this story.
It begins... Again! ...again.
Time to see just how easy all this stuff will be!
Couldn't be any harder than last time!
6329265
More than that, I predicted the future, because I finished writing this a few days ago!
6329297
Well, that could be fun, too.
But when I watch this episode, their reasoning for not telling on Babs is so flimsy, I just couldn't resist rewriting it in that way.
6329334
It just gets easier and easier.
Rarity has taught her sister well. Though it does seem like there's going to be some bad blood between Apple Bloom and Babs come the reunion...
Of course, given how perfectly organized it'll be, I'm sure they'll be having so much fun that they'll let bygones be bygones.
6329378
Don't you know it! ^.^

I hope it lives up to expectations set by the ones before.
Some of these were really hard to subvert.
Now THIS is how it should've went in the original.
The CMC's repair their float and Babs faces the punishment she should've got.
Next one is Magic Duel, that's gonna be interesting.
6329424
It is, it is. ^.^
Well, that was fun.
The overpowered side of Twilight was a little overdone...but the rest of it's been fun.
And that, ladies and gents, is how you avoid two of the worst morals the show has ever put out.
6329557
Heh, yay!
6329461
Ooh, that would be fun. Heh, fun!
6329549
Overpowered being overdone? Impossible!
6329651
Magic.

Yeah... I have no idea where I'd put those in with the different seasons.
They'd be way too short to post as a standalone story.
6329853
Makes no difference, though.
If they're indistinguishable, why does it matter which one you save?
The moral of the story is it is better to be a snitch than to commit horse murder.

Riight... I forgot to factor in character development into the easy equation! Silly me!
There ya go, Sweetie Belle! When you need help, just ask an adult and they'll solve the problem for you!
Y'know, ocalhoun, I've seen some pretty great stuff from you, but this series is probably your Magnus Opium... or however it's spelled.
I have a feeling Babs is about to become familiar with the phrase taken to the woodshed.
That's how that episode should have ended anyway.
6332028
oh most definitely.
You know, there should be a sub-series like this. If everyone was like this: there would be no series.
7240555
Well.... True, the entire series would probably be shortened to only 1 season instead of 9.
