Thank you to everypony for the views, comments, and votes so far. I really appreciate the feedback; it helps me grow as a writer, if nothing else.

At this point in the story, Babs Seed takes the train to Ponyville, and the events of "One Bad Apple" (best episode of Season 3 so far, by the way!) occur in their delightful manner. I was at first contemplating writing a sort-of "introductory" portion of the chapter, detailing Babs' feelings and thoughts on the train, but I found it best to just let her get to Ponyville and learn her important lesson.

This story shall now continue from the point after Babs Seed becomes a member of the CMC, but before she leaves home for Manehatten and shows Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon what's up at the train tracks. (Oh, come on, they deserved it, everypony knows that.)

Thanks again everypony, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

I was wondering what you were going to do with the next chapter you could go all mst3k with it but it would feel repetitive. Especially since we've all seen it.

Amen, One Bad Apple is my favorite this season too, tied with Too Many Pinkie Pies!

I'm liking this story so far, but I'm glad that you decided not to rehash the episode, especially if you were going to keep it canon anyway

After reading up to this pint i re-watched the bad seed Ep and i now find all the little things you've put it to this story. I find it truly amazing how well this story could fit into Babes back story. I look forward to reading more of this amazing story.
Your doing Everything Right.

At this point then, Babs has broken her promise to the barber (I'm so bad with names I've already forgotten his ), right? That she would never become like one of the bullies, and then pretty much ends up quoting them.

-It's just not fair! We never did anything to you Babs!
-And let's keep it that way!
