Cutie Mark Crusader Ice Cooker YAY !
Night had fell upon Sweet Apples Acres.
All of the member of the Apple family had crawled into their bed. Everything was silent inside and outside the barn house they had call home for years. All, except the youngest, Apple Bloom.
Inside her bed chamber, the little filly had started an experiment. An experiment that had fail several times. But she was persistent in founding a way to grew apples much faster. Also it was one of her many attempt to got her cutie mark. On her desk was a chemistry set. Flasks, tubes, and colorful liquids dominated her workspace.
Apple Bloom was struggling, battling the demon that is sleep. With eyes half closed, she attempt to deliver a drop of chemical into the mix.
BLAP !
Her head struck the desk and the young Apple drifted into Luna's realm.

The red maned filly woke up accompanied by a headache. She looked under her desk to found a puddle of liquid. Her mouth made a frown. Another chance foiled by her own mistake. She then took a look at her set.
Above the bunsen burner, in a test tube was something she had never seen before. A crystalline substance had form from its liquid state. Her eyes widened at it.
She wasn't sure what it was. The filly trail of thought was interrupted by the cuckoo clock going off. It said ten past seven. Granny Smith was calling and she ran downstairs.
After the morning meal, she fetched the mysterious crystal in the test tube carried it in her saddlebag. Apple Bloom then left the house to meet with her friends in their clubhouse in the sunny Sunday morning.
She charged into the clubhouse. With excitement in her voice she announced, "Girls! Girls! looked what I made last night!"
"What is it ?" asked the orange filly.
She too out the test tube out of her saddlebag, "Take a look at this."
Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo looked at what had been presented at them.
Both let out a Wow.
Sweetie Bell asked, "What is it ?"
With a sheepish smile Apple Bloom admitted that she didn't what it was. But both of her friend was amazed on how Apple Bloom had made a crystal in a test tube. They asked them what does it do. She didn't have an answer to it either. But Apple Bloom was determined what it was and how to make it. Then it was decided that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were going to unlocked the mysterious crystal in the test tube. They left their clubhouse and traveled to the local library.
Arriving at the library. They knocked on the door and called the name of the librarian. Instead her assistant answered the door. They asked where Twilight was. Spike told the fillies that she was absent for spa with Fluttershy and Rarity. The Cutie Mark Crusaders decided that they would wait for the princess inside the library. Spike let them in.
Waiting, they browsed the collection of books within the shelves. Searching for an answer related to the crystal. So far their attempt had been fruitless. Then there was a knock at the door.
"I got it," told the baby dragon.
On the door was Rainbow Dash.
"Hey Spike is Twilight around ?"
Spike told her, "Nah she's out on the spa."
"Hi Rainbow Dash !" called her number one fan.
She answered, "Hey kiddo what'cha doin here ?"
"We're trying to find out this crystal Apple Bloom made ?" Scootaloo explained.
One of the rainbow maned pegasus went up brow, and she asked, "You made a crystal ?"
"Sure do !" she said proudly, "Here !"
Apple Bloom presented the cyan mare with the test tube containing the crystal. Her magenta eyes examined the specimen contained in the apparatus. Rainbow Dash went to the kitchen to grabbed a match. She then lit a candle and asked Spike to hold it and the test tube above the flame.
As soon as the test tube was heated, the crystal immediately started to smoke. The young ponies began to panic and afraid that it was going to burn. It didn't it just smoke and began to reduce in size. Rainbow Dash captured the fume in her nostrils.
"Oh ho ho this is better than those roots Zecora rolled," Rainbow Dash slurry said, "Hey you made more of this I'll recommend some friend to try one of this."
She tossed a coin for Apple Bloom to catch. Spike was enjoying the crystal also. He gave the fillies some of his gem. And gave a book related to the crystal.
Equestria Ministry of Health presents You and your Medicine
"By Nurse Redheart ?" Sweetie Bell asked.
"Huh. Never thought Redheart wrote a book about ice" Rainbow Dash commented, then went back to inhaling crystal.

The clubhouse had transformed into a medium sized laboratory. Instead of research this lab serve a purpose of manufacture. Manufacturing what the fillies known as ice. They made profit out of it from ponies Rainbow Dash sent to their clubhouse. But it also made them happy doing it. As every sniff each pony took brought a gleeful smile to their face.
Today the sun set again. Just like any other day. Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo said their goodbyes as they made distance from their clubhouse. Apple Bloom locked the door and headed home. She arrived just before dinner.
As she sat for dinner, Applejack asked why she smelled. Her answer was she and her friends were hanging out all day. They ate dinner just like every night. After dinner, Applejack, Big Mac and Apple Bloom worked on their respective chores and went to bed.
The night shrouded Sweet Apple Acres. Silence didn't fell forever tonight. Shadowy figure entered the property. They didn't made a beeline to the farm house. Instead they silently moved between the trees and into the plot of land rich of Apples. Again they weren't here to steal the crop.
They stop near one particular tree. A tree that held the Crusaders clubhouse. One of them pulled out a bobby pin and a screwdriver and picked the door open. They had found their target. All of them had stick on their mouth. The eradication of the lab began. Chemicals, jars, test tubes were all ransacked. They also took the bits that were stored in the building. Finished, they disappeared into the night.
Morning came. Apple Bloom woke up eager to start the day. And to continue making crystals. Making ponies happy. After breakfast was done, skipped her way to the clubhouse.
Arriving on the little structure attached to the tree, her jaw hung low. She ran up the stairs and take a look inside. Everything she had worked on demolished. and the money she made robbed. Her friend eventually came. She didn't have an explanation to offer.
"Oh don't worry Apple Bloom," the purple maned filly encouraged, "We didn't got cutie marks from it any way."
"It means making crystal wasn't it !" Sweetie Bell announced.
Apple Bloom said, "But we were makin' ponies happy."
They all sighed. They sat on the edge of the walkway of the clubhouse. Watching at the blue Equestrian sky letting the goes by. Then Rainbow Dash came swooping down.
"Hey guys!" she called, "Got anymore crystal ?"
"Sorry Rainbow Dash..."Scootaloo apologized."
"What's the matter....oh" the prismatic maned mare mustered.
"Who would done such a thing ?" Sweetie Bell said, "We were just making ponies smile."
"Damn you Filthy..." Rainbow growled."
Scootaloo asked, "What's that Rainbow Dash ?"
She replied, "What ? Oh it was nothing."
Apple Bloom said, "She said Filthy...."
Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell turned to Rainbow. Her expression changed. They knew who did it. Sweetie Bell suggested that they should go to the authority and reported the suspect for investigation. Rainbow Dash quickly stopped them. And told them not to ,they asked for reasons not to. The fastest flyer told them not to. She explained it would only bring more problem. And something about a 'Kingpin' and 'coke'
Apple Bloom heard all of this and had devised a plan. By the name RD gave away she knew who was behind this heinous act. Before she lashed out in anger. The cyan mare fumed the Apple filly with Methamphetamine in attempt to calm her down. This only brought rage into the filly

It was night once more. The mansion that belong Filthy Rich was dark. No light was lit. Something that wasn't normal. But for anyone passing, the residents inside were probably asleep.
Inside bodies of many stallion littered almost every room. Unmoving, bleeding, lifeless. The stench of chemical hung in the air. The liquid was spread across the floor.
Apple Bloom, with a farming scythe in her possession went into the kitchen. She cut a gas pipe. The yellow filly went upstairs and into Filthy Rich's home office. Waiting for her was Filthy himself and his Diamond Tiara. Bound and gagged to a chair.
Still in rage fueled by ice, she poured a jerry can of chemical onto the pair. Only grunts and humphs came out.
Apple Bloom sent her message, "The sugar and ice around Ponyville goes through Cutie Mark Crusaders! Or they're ain't goin' !"
Apple Bloom gave one last smack to Filthy's already battered face. She walks down the stairs and out to the front of the mansion. Waiting for her was the end of the liquid chemical trail. She lit it on fire. With accelerant, the fire spread quickly. As she walked towards the gate. Explosion and flames engulfed the mansion.
Thus began the rise of Cutie Mark Crusaders Industries.
