> Project CMC > by Probably Minion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 8:00 AM: The Departure of the Grown Ups > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was about 7 AM on Friday morning of the weekend in which Applejack, Big Mac, and Granny Smith were due to spend the weekend in Las Pegasus and leave the Cutie Mark Crusaders to taking care of Sweet Apple Acres while they were gone. It just so happened that Friday was Applebloom's birthday. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo arrived at Sweet Apple Acres to meet up with Applebloom to walk to school together. If course, Scootaloo had a couple of tricks up her sleeve for this big weekend. Sweetie Belle brought her new video camera with her to document every moment of this big weekend. "What's up everypony, this is yo girl Scootaloo. We're just outside Sweet Apple Acres to wake up Applebloom on her birthday and Big Mac, Applejack, and Granny Smith will be heading out to Las Pegasus any minute now and then we get the whole all to ourselves for the entire weekend. This is Project CMC yo!" said Scootaloo to the camera. They then walked into the barn and were greeted by Big Mac as soon as they got inside. "Oh boy! We're gonna have the right to say we didn't turn down for nothing!" said Scootaloo. "Turn down for what?" asked Granny Smith with a confused look on her face. "Oh uh nothing Granny Smith! Just talking about how hard we're gonna work to make sure Sweet Apple Acres is in ship shape while you're gone." said Sweetie Belle with an awkward smile on her face. They then walked upstairs to meet up with Applebloom in her room. "Oh shoot that was close!" said Scootaloo. They ran into Applejack in the hallway. "Oh hey Applejack! Have you seen Applebloom?" asked Scootaloo. "Oh she's taking a shower. She'll meet up with y'all downstairs." said Applejack. Ignoring what Applejack had just said to them Scootaloo sneaked into the bathroom and pulled open the curtain and yelled, "Happy birthday Applebloom!". "Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, get outta here! I'll be downstairs in five minutes." said Applebloom. Before she got out of the bathroom, Scootaloo rubbed Applebloom's toothbrush on a bar of soap as a joke. About five minutes later, Applebloom met up with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo downstairs. While Big Mac was putting their bags in the taxi, Applejack gave the CMC a little pep talk about what was expected of them while they were gone. "Alright y'all, this is a big test that Big Mac and I are putting you through to see if you can be trusted and responsible enough of watching over the farm for three full days. Just remember to do the regular house chores everyday and if you're gonna have other friends over, just don't make a big mess of the place and if you do, clean up after yourselves. We'll see y'all on Sunday night." said Applejack and she and Granny Smith got into the taxi and left. "Goodbye! Have fun in Las Pegasus! Miss you already!" said the CMC. "They're finally gone! Now we just have to endure three hours of school and our awesome party weekend has officially started!" said Scootaloo and they headed to school thinking about possibly inviting other ponies to the big party they planned on throwing for Applebloom's birthday. > 9:00 AM: Spreading the Word at the Ponyville Schoolhouse > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tonight and this weekend is gonna be so awesome! We're gonna throw the party of the century tonight!" said Scootaloo. "Uh yeah I wanna talk to y'all about that. Tonight if we do pull this party off, I only want at most two or three other ponies at Sweet Apple Acres tonight. Applejack doesn't want us to make a big mess of the farm." said Applebloom. "Ok fine, we'll just invite Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon and maybe if she's around and can make it, we'll invite Pinkie Pie." said Sweetie Belle. "Hey maybe if the Wiggles are around, we'll invite them and Captain Feathersword as the entertainment." said Scootaloo. "Ok I'm fine with that but I think that's enough guests." said Applebloom. ***************************************** As soon as they got to school, the CMC sat in their assigned seats which was spread out across the room. However, they didn't know that was about to change. "Ok class listen up. I decided I wanted to mix up the seating chart a bit. I want Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle to sit in the three middle seats in the second to last row." said Cheerilee. "Yes! Perfect!" thought Sweetie Belle as they got to their new seats. As soon as Cheerilee started talking about a unanimous topic that nobody cared about, Scootaloo got Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's attention to tell them about the party. "We're throwing a big party at Sweet Apple Acres tonight to celebrate Applebloom's birthday. It's gonna be a lot of fun and the Wiggles might perform there tonight. If you know anyone else who wants to come invite them but don't tell Applebloom I gave you permission to bring guests." said Scootaloo. "Ok blank flank, we'll give your 'party' a try even though it's more than likely gonna be lame." said Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. ******************************************** At around noon, school ended early because it was Friday. "Ok, we have to go to Sugarcube Corner to tell Pinkie Pie and the Wiggles about the party tonight. I told Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to come at around 4 tonight so we have plenty of time to get ready." said Scootaloo. "Ok. I just hope that Pinkie Pie can keep a secret about this party and not accidentally tell Applejack about it." said Applebloom. "Applebloom stop worrying about tonight. Even if we do get busted, we'll all take equal blame for it." said Sweetie Belle. "Ok that makes me feel better." said Applebloom feeling in suspense about that night. > 2:00 PM: Informing Pinkie Pie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- They arrived at Sugarcube Corner at around 2 PM and were greeted by Pinkie Pie right at the door. "Hey guys what brings you here?" asked Pinkie Pie. "We're here to...." said Sweetie Belle. "Oh oh oh let me guess. You're here to invite me and the Wiggles to a huge party for Applebloom's birthday at Sweet Apple Acres and you're gonna make me Pinkie promise that I won't tell Applejack and we're gonna have the time of our lives!" said Pinkie Pie. "Wow, that's exactly what we're here to do. How did you know?" asked Scootaloo. "Just a hunch." said Pinkie Pie. "So anyway we were also wondering if there are any cupcakes available that you could possibly bring tonight." said Sweetie Belle. "Sure! I'll go tell the Wiggles about the party too. This party is gonna the best party ever!" said Pinkie Pie. "Ok. See you later." said Scootaloo and the CMC headed back to Sweet Apples Acres to get ready. > 3:00 PM: Informing the Wiggles > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CMC then went to the Wiggles's new house in Ponyville which was next door to Fluttershy's cottage. "You know it's kinda weird they opted out of staying Twilight's castle permanently and choosing to get their own place here." said Scootaloo. "Yeah but I guess they wanted their own space rather than being limited to certain parts of Twilight's castle." said Sweetie Belle. Once they walked up to the door which had a face on it, they knocked on it and the door woke up. "Hello there. What can I do for you?" asked the door. "We're here to inform the Wiggles about a party we're having tonight." said Scootaloo. "Oh yes! The Wiggles love to party! Come right in!" said the door and she opened up. The CMC walked into the house and saw the Wiggles sitting in a room with a coach and a chair with a clock on it. "Hey guys. We're here to ask you if you're available to do a concert tonight for us tonight." said Applebloom. "Oh yes of course! First of all, happy birthday Applebloom! Pinkie Pie told us that you're having a big party at Sweet Apple Acres and you were wondering if we were around to be the entertainment. We'd love to perform at your party tonight." said Greg. "Thanks and sorry for telling you guys about this last minute. We look forward to seeing you guys tonight. Tell Captain Feathersword he can come too if he's around." said Sweetie Belle. "Sure. What it be ok if we invited Dorothy the Dinosaur and Henry the Octopus?" asked Murray. "Uh sure I guess........" said Applebloom with an awkward look on her face. "Well alrighty then, we'll see you tonight." said Anthony. "See y'all later." said Applebloom and they headed back to Sweet Apple Acres to get ready for the party. > 3:30 PM: Hauling out the apple vodka (and the fruit salad fruit) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When they got back to Sweet Apple Acres, Scootaloo came up with to her was the best idea ever. "Hey Applebloom, where does Big Mac keep the kegs of the kegs of the apple vodka?" asked Scootaloo. "Uh Scootaloo, don't you think we're kinda too young to be drinking vodka?" asked Applebloom. "Oh c'mon Applebloom we won't drink that much. I just thought that bringing it out would make this party more awesome than it already will be. I promise you, I'll only let everyone drink two or three cups of it at the most." said Scootaloo. "Well ok." said Applebloom who showed them the shack where all the apple vodka was hidden. The three each hauled out two kegs of the alcoholic beverage and placed in the corner of the main barn. The Wiggles arrived not long after so they could set up for their concert. "Oh hey guys. Why did you come so early?" asked Sweetie Belle. "We just wanted to make sure everything was all set for us and for the whole party in general so we're ready to go once everyone gets here." said Murray. "Yeah. We're also thinking of doing a fruit salad demonstration as one of the party games to get everyone involved during the party." said Greg. "That makes sense since one of your hit songs is about fruit salad. Wanna sample some of the apple vodka?" asked Scootaloo. "Sure." said Anthony who took a sip of the fizzy liquid and seemed to enjoy it. "Mmmmm. Delicious! Hey Greg, Murray, Jeff, try some of this. This is really good." said Anthony. "Please don't drink a lot of it before you perform. I don't know how much alcohol is actually in it." said Applebloom. The Wiggles only ended up drinking about a shot sized serving of it knowing they could legally drink more of it later since they were adults. "Ok ok. Enough is a enough. We'll drink more of it later after we're done performing. Murray, go get the truck of fruit." said Greg. "I'm on it." said Murray. About a minute later, Murray backed up a big dump truck filled with different types of fruit and dumped all the fruit on a tarp that was laid for the fruit to be hauled into the barn. "Uh Greg, don't you think you went a little overboard on the fruit for the fruit salad demonstration? Only three other ponies are coming tonight along with Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, and Henry the Octopus." said Applebloom. "Hey you never know, they may be bringing friends too and you can never have too much fruit salad. I think this is the perfect amount of fruit." said Greg. "Ok then............." said Applebloom with an awkward look on her face. > 4:00 PM: Bringing in the security > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey uh Greg could we ask you guys one more small favor?" asked Scootaloo. "Sure, ask away." said Jeff "Once you guys are done performing could sort of act as you know uh 'chaperones' to make sure this party doesn't get out of hand and also make sure no one who's not invited to the party gets into the barn?" asked Scootaloo. "We'll definitely act as chaperones but we know someone who can take care of the security during the party. OFFICER BEAPLES!" said Murray. Not long after, a female cop wearing a big hat a big shoes came wobbling into the barn blowing a train whistle and saluted the Wiggles as soon as she entered. "Hello Officer Beaples. Could you please guard the front door of the barn and only allow the ponies who were invited to the party tonight inside?" asked Greg. Officer Beaples nodded her head and blew her whistle which was her way of saying yes. "Ok Officer Beaples, here's a list of the guest list and what each of one them looks like. Only let in the ponies on this list and if they brought guests, don't let them in. You got it?" asked Applebloom. Again, Officer Beaples nodded her head and blew her whistle but this time also saluted Applebloom. "Thanks Officer Beaples. We're really counting on you to provide security during the party tonight." said Sweetie Belle. Officer Beaples saluted everyone in the barn and then wobbled outside of the barn blowing her whistle as she took her position as the honorary security guard for the party. > 5:00 PM: The finishing touches > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- About an hour before Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Pinkie Pie were due to arrive, the Wiggles decided to tell Applebloom what else they were thinking of doing for party games. "Hey Applebloom, can we tell you what other games we're planning on doing during the party tonight?" asked Anthony. "Sure, I don't see why not." said Applebloom. "We're thinking of doing a game called 'Shake Your Hips with Wags the Dog' based on a song we wrote about 2 days ago. As you may have guessed, it features our canine friend, Wags the Dog. He's actually a really good dancer and I think your guests would think this a really fun game." said Murray. "Sounds interesting. Could we also do a game with 'Hot Potato'? That's my favorite song by you guys." said Scootaloo. "Absolutely! Matter of fact, we'll slow down the tempo of all our songs just a little bit so everyone can dance along with us." said Jeff. "I was also wondering how are you gonna pull of this fruit salad demonstration?" asked Sweetie Belle. "So what we're thinking is we'll set up a table with all the different types of fruits in which everyone will pick the kinds of fruits they want to put in their fruit salad and we'll also give them a knife, spoon, and bowl. I promise you, this party is gonna be awesome." said Greg. "Just a brief reminder, what happens in this barn tonight stays in this barn. If Applejack, Big Mac, or Granny Smith finds out about this party, we're gonna get in trouble especially since we stole some of Big Mac's apple vodka." said Scootaloo. "You got it!" said Murray. > 6:00 PM: The Guests have Arrived > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At around 6 PM, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon showed at Sweet Apple Acres. They were shocked to see that there was a cop guarding the front of the barn. Officer Beaples put her hand out, blew her whistle, and stomped which meant stop. "We're here for the party. We should be on the guest list." said Diamond Tiara. Officer Beaples pulled out the list Applebloom gave her and after seeing that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were on the list, she saluted them and opened the doors of the barn so they could get inside. "Why hello there Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. You arrived just in time. We're gonna perform 'John Bradelum' to start the show in about an hour but make yourself at home." said Anthony. "Thanks." said Silver Spoon. Not long after, the CMC came back into the barn hauling several barrels of apple cider, which was being served as the non-alcoholic beverage at the party. "Wow. I'm surprised you actually showed up. We thought you were gonna think we were joking." said Applebloom. "We just wanted to come to see how lame this party is gonna be since it's hosted by three blank flanks!" said Diamond Tiara. "Hey quit it! This party is gonna be awesome because Pinkie Pie is supposed to come and the Wiggles have a bunch of fun party games planned for tonight. You're gonna be blown away about this party, I guarantee it." said Scootaloo. "Fair enough, blank flank." said Silver Spoon. About a half hour, Pinkie Pie arrived carrying about 10 boxes of cupcakes and a bunch of balloons. Gummy was clinging onto her tail. "Hey girls! Sorry that I didn't tell you I was bringing Gummy. He just really wanted to come to this party." said Pinkie Pie. "That's fine. Wionna will keep him entertained outside." said Applebloom. "Put the cupcakes on the table where all the fruit is." said Scootaloo. "What's with all the fruit?" asked Pinkie Pie. "To make a long story short, it's a party game that the Wiggles planned. They're gonna do a 'fruit salad demonstration' tonight." said Sweetie Belle. "Oh boy! That's gonna fun fun fun!" said Pinkie Pie. "Ok guys, it's 7 and you know what that means.... it's Wiggle Time!" said Greg and everyone rushed over to the seats near the stage on which the Wiggles were performing on.
