“Where are we going sis?” Applebloom questioned, pushing aside a branch.
“Mom'd have a fit if she knew I was going into the Everfree. “ Scootaloo smiled practically bouncing along though the woods.
“Isn't the edge of the Everfree Forest on the other side of the farm?” Sweetiebelle pondered, walking through the muck without much of a care, unlike her sister.
“Yeah I think these are the woods that act as storm surge protection in case the river floods.” Spike offered plodding along with them.
“Also keeps the winter wind from blowing straight off tha river into tha fields.” Applejack nodded.
“Does that actually work?” Spike questioned.
“Beats me, but we've always left this bit by tha river alone an ah don't see a need tah change it. We' got a few crab and wild apple trees that grow out here, but nothing we harvest.”Applejack admitted. “Sides that ain't why ah brought y’all out here. This is!”
Applejack stepped aside pointing up to a structure in an old apple tree.
“What is that thing?” Applebloom asked.
“ What are we looking at? Sweetiebelle asked.
“I have no idea.” Scootaloo muttered.
“Wow did the river really flood that high to dump all the junk in the tree?” Spike asked.
“What? No... Cutie Mark Crusaders, welcome to your new clubhouse.” Applejack presented looking at the four following her, all of whom looked on with mixed expressions of worry and disgust.
”Well don't thank me all at once..... this was my club house when I was your age.” Applejack stated, walking up the ramp. “Sure it hasn't been used in a while, but it's empty and on a secluded, private, part of the farm.....”
“This is because of happened to Dolly isn't it.” Applebloom deadpanned. “ That's why we can't use the barn anymore.....”
“Fluttershy said her wool would grow back.” Scootaloo rolled her eyes.
“Yeah, but she said it would grow back green.” Spike sighed.
“I bet my sister would buy it if it came back another color, but she has issues with green.” Sweetiebelle muttered.
“Any way, it's all yours.” Applejack continued ignoring them.”It just needs a little TLC..”
“Is that tender loving care, or totally lost cause?” Scootaloo grumbled.
“Termite luxury condos?” Sweetiebelle offered.
“Terribly lopsided construction?” Applebloom chimed in.
“Ya'll been hanging around Spike too much.....” Applejack frowned as the Dragon laughed.
“We're supposed to turn this into our new clubhouse?” Applebloom flattened her ears.
“It'll be fine, maybe your get yer cutie marks while fixing it up.” Applejack smiled leaning on the wall before crashing through it with an explosion of dust and splinters.
The four of them look through the new hole at Applejack as the mare pushed herself up out of the debris and dust.
“Maybe house cleaning?” Applejack muttered with a sneeze.
I'm so looking forward to Rahs's reaction to the CMC's performance.
Or if he helps them out with the theatrics.
WTF did they do to Dolly?

Thats why I lost my initial like of Pinkie in the show. Between this, Zecora, and intentionally (no, i'm not giving this theory up) driving a wedge between RD and Gilda by refusing to tell RD that Gilda's hostility was because Pinkie was antagonizing her by noy letting her visit her only friend in peace, Fluttershy quickly became my favorite.
Too short! ... and no tree sap! You can't declare a CMCs chapter without any destruction or tree sap!

There was tons of destruction… implied to have happened in the very, very recent past. Though I suppose the bigger question is what is going to happen to the rest of Ponyville now that Rahs and Spike are more actively involved in these series of events.
Dolly wasn't as upset over having green wool as Bertha was, being a cow and all.
I was expecting something similar to the your human and you verse human show

Yeah, out of the main 6, I hate Pinkie Pie the most. She is the kinda person I hate, because of what she did to Cranky Doodle. If I was in his situation, where I told her to leave me alone, and she didn't, I go for extreme punishment instantly. Which will usually be very very violent towards Pinkie. I hate, HATE, when you tell someone you don't like or want something, and they keep pushing the issue again and again like Pinkie does in most episodes shes in. And I know little nudges aren't going to work, you have to use extreme force to punish them, for them to learn. And even then, it some times doesn't work.
Wow, your story really had the CMC turn from innocent and naïve to snarky smart-alecks under Spike's corruptive influence.
...I LOVE IT!! Now all we need to complete the dish is a healthy serving of tree sap and a dash of property damage. Maybe a sprinkle of accidental arson.

I love it when someone gets my obscure references.

What can I say? I'm full of nigh useless information.
I can say Dolly's name had caught my attention at least.
Dolly will be fine, just rub some bonemeal into her coat.

Why do I get the feeling that was a chia pet joke?
10660679
Minecraft joke actually. Bonemeal doubles up as white dye in that game, and you can dye sheep to permanently change their wool color to get different wool blocks.

Short but very nice! Spike is a treat to read about
Spike is a good influence towards the CMC
Me: !!!
Maybe because I was concerned with something different and wasn't prepared to suppressing my laughter, but I made a great hyena laughter impression with this lines.
Great humor
Love the sassy comments from the CMC + Spike
