> Crushes And Enemies > by NoodleBrony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Last day of summer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The summer break was almost over and every foal and filli was sad that it was going to be over but Apple bloom was just sleeping peacefully in her bed, dreams of upcoming crusades with her friends, tending to the cattle and pigs, bucking every apple in the orchard or maybe even making apple pie with granny smith. These thoughts turned in her head, Nothing in the world can awake her from her slumber, not a single pony in all of equest......"RISE AND SHINE APPLEBLOOM!" "Applejack!?!? why are you getting me up so earlier?" Said a very unhappy Apple bloom as she opened her eyes "im sorry little sis its just your school is opened back up tomorrow and we gotta buck as many apples as possible" Apple jack explained. "huh, schools back up tomorrow?" Apple bloom asked "yeah didn't you hear sugarcube?" asked Applejack "no i didn't, summer went by so fast and yet i still don't have my cutiemark" apple bloom stated and started to become sad as she looked at her flank. "aww! thats a shame hun but i reckon you will get it eventually" said applejack putting her hoof on her sister's shoulder trying to be supportive. "no i won't!" shouted apple bloom "now don't you talk like that, how about when yah done ya bucking you younguns go on one last crusade before school starts up tomorrow. "oh thank you Applejack! I will be faster than an apple falling from a tree" "then lets skedaddle!" shouted Applejack. Apple bloom, Applejack and Big mac went to buck some of the apple trees for all the ponys in ponyville, they buck almost all the trees but of course Apple bloom wanted to go on a crusade with her friends so she went as fast as her hoofs could take her. They bucked and they bucked until Scootaloo and Sweetie belle started to walk up to the farm. "hey Applebloom!" shouted a very happy Scootaloo "Scootaloo! Sweetie belle!" shouted apple bloom and she ran over to them. "we figured since summer break is over tomorrow we could do one last crusade before school" explained Sweetie bell and Scootaloo agreed. "i was just thinking that, let me ask AJ if i can" said Apple bloom and she ran over to Applejack who was bringing some apples in the barn. "AJ! AJ! AJ! can i go crusading with the girls now PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!" begged Applebloom hopping that her sis would say yes "alright sugarcube but be back before dinner, we will be doing some more chores after dinner" explained Applejack and Apple bloom runs back over to her friends to give them the news. "she said i can! so what cutiemark we looking for today?" questioned Apple bloom waiting eagerly for a response. "pony zipp-lining!!" shouted Scootaloo and the others gave her the stink eye. "we've done that like 5 times, can we please do something different?" pleaded Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo gave in. "fine, what do you wanna do sweetiebelle?" asked Scootaloo but Sweetiebelle was unsure. "I don't know maybe something simple like an....ICE CREAM EATING CONTEST!" said Sweetiebelle with eyes beaming with joy and the others got a smile on their faces. "CUTIEMARK CRUSADER ICE CREAM EATING CONTEST YAH" they all shouted with joy. So they decided to walk down to the local ice cream shop that was near Sugar cube corner to get some ice cream but then they see a pink pony with purple and white hair and a tiara on her head and flank, with her there was a grey pony with a pigtail in her hair, glasses on her face and a spoon for a cutie mark. They were known as Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon. The girls were not expecting to see them so they were thinking should they run or casually walk passed them, Scootaloo then spoke up. "get behind the bush" whispered Scootaloo and the other two girls looked at each other in confusion but before they could speak Scootaloo pushes them behind the bush. "Scootaloo what are you....." Apple bloom was silenced by Scootaloo's hoof. "I'm trying to hear what they're talking about if you don't mind" Scootaloo made a hole in the bush and looked through it to see the two fillies and Apple bloom and sweetie listened in to their conversation. ************************************** "I can't believe Snips and Snails did that, they're such idiots!" giggled Silver spoon. "I know right! its so hard to pick a coltfriend when all the colts are stupid" complained Diamond tiara. "how about featherweight?" suggested Silver spoon and Diamond tiara gave her a look of disgust. "are you out of your mind? I wouldn't go for a colt who takes my place as Editor of the school's newspaper and forces me to get ink all over my marvelous coat" complained Diamond tiara once more. "oh yeah i forgot about that...um how about Button mash?" said Silver spoon trying to give more ideas "oh please Silver spoon, hes more interested in video games then mares" joked Diamond tiara and they both giggled. "may i ask why your planning on getting a coltfriend?" asked Silver spoon being curious "new year, new start and the thing thats trending at the moment is fillies in relationships" Explained Diamond tiara. "oh i get it now but you cant get a coltfriend if you rejected all my suggestions" said Silver spoon "your right! lets go to my house and think of some more colts" They got up from their seats and left their empty icecream cups unattended and the waiter picked them up and took them inside, they walked past the bush but luckily they did not spot the trio of fillies. When they were out of sight, the girls came out of their hiding spot. "coltfriends? serously?" scowled Scootaloo, she didn't like the idea of coltfriends because she thought it was all lovey-dovey all the time after her incident with big mac and cherilee. "I know right, who in all of equestria would go out with her? the colt must be a complete idiot to do that" said Apple bloom "and could you believe they said those rude things about Button mash" said Sweetie belle in anger "well they're right on that one, he is too obsessed with video games not that theres anything wrong with them" replied Scootaloo and Apple bloom nodded. "but...but....never mind" said a defeated Sweetie belle, they did not know about her true feelings for him so she had to hold them to make sure they didn't make fun of her for it. "yeah, anyway lets get this ice cream eating contest started" Scootaloo said in excitement and they all nodded. The ice cream eating contest began, the girls had massive chocolate sundaes and after a lot of brain freezes the winner was Scootaloo and she screamed in excitement so she then looked at her flank to see if she got an ice cream eating cutiemark but her excitement then turned to disappointment as she no cutie mark. "aw.." said Scootaloo in disappointment "its ok scootaloo, we will try again tomorrow after school" said Sweetie belle trying to make her friend better. "yup they'res always tomorrow" said Scootaloo trying to hide her sadness but inside she felt sad as ever since she got no cutiemark. "its almost dinner time and i gotta do some chores when i get back so i will see you guys tomorrow" Apple bloom said and the three of them parted their ways. Time passes and an older mare with a young colt trot through the streets of ponyville on they're way to their new home. "mom are we there yet? my hoofs are killing me" "almost, just wait" "mom, why are we moving here again?" "I told you a million times and you still don't know!" "yes?" "well just for that i'm not telling you again, you will find out on your own eventually" "uh fine" "oh look were here son, get yourself ready and head to bed and you will start your new school tomorrow" > The New Colt > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple bloom just awoke and she is getting ready for her first day of the new school year, she ate her breakfast, brushed her teeth and mane but before she could leave Granny smith gave her her lunchbox and a kiss on the forehead. She waved goodbye to the family and started her journey to school, the school wasn't far from the farm so Apple bloom was on time and as soon as she entered she spotted her friends and they came over to her. "hey Applebloom" said Scootaloo and Sweetie belle unison as they saw their friend come into the school "heya girls! whats up?" questioned Apple bloom "oh nothing really but did you hear the news?" relied Scootaloo giving Apple bloom a confused look. "apparently they'res supposed to be a new student coming to the school" said Sweetie belle "really? maybe if they don't have a cutiemark they can join our group" said Apple bloom in excitement "what about Button mash? he doesn't have a cutiemark, we could have two new members" suggested Sweetie belle "Sweetie belle we've been over this, I you two are good friends but hes too busy with his video games and he would never do a crusade" "oh yeah, aha silly me" Sweetie belle has asked so many times but their was always a no, she wished she could let him join so she could spend more time with him or just try to get to know him better so she didnt just know about his love for video games.. "Places, Places everypony! class will begin..." The teacher was interrupted by a late student coming through the door. "sorry i'm late miss Cherliee, it took me forever to get my mane just right" said Diamond tiara and Cherliee was not happy about her lateness but she wasn't going to get mad at some pony on the first day of the new year so she just pointed her hoof to her seat. "Now then as i was saying, you probably all know about our new student thats coming today so I hope you all are on your best behavior because hes coming in today but in a little bit since hes getting settled in to his new home" explained The teacher "Diamond Tiara, Miss cherliee said its a new colt" whispered Silver spoon into Diamond tiara's ear. "excellent, lets just see if hes hot first" whispered Diamond tiara and Miss cherliee noticed Diamond tiara was talking. "Diamond tiara i just said to be on your best behavior." said Miss cherliee letting her anger slip out. "oh dont worry miss i will be" ************************************ back in the home of the new colt a unicorn mare with a brown coat, red mane and tail and a cutiemark of a bowl of noodles with a smiley face by the name of Smiley noodle was unpacking her furniture in her new home for her and her son. "mom i think im settled in now, can i go to school now?" questioned the young stallion. "well ok, go make yourself lunch and i will walk you down" said Smiley noodle with a smile on her face. The young colt went to the kitchen, he made himself a daffodil and daisy sandwich and placed it in it his lunchbox but he thought his lunch was a little too small so he got an apple and placed it beside his sandwich. "ok mom im ready!" shouted the colt "ok lets go son!" They exited the house and started walking, they noticed they're a lot of stalls along the streets from a sweet stall to a stall full of apples but they didn't have the time to go stop by them and walked on. They finally made it to the school and Smiley noodle turned to face her son. "ok son this is it, i will pick you up later" She then kissed her son on the forehead and went back into the direction of home. "I can do this" he mumbled to himself and started to walk up to the door. ********************* "now can anypony tell me what "9 + 10" is?" questioned Cherliee and Snails had his hoof up. "is it 21?" Cherlilee then face hoofed but before she could give the correct answer there was a knock on the door. She opened the door to see a young colt with a red mane and tail and a white coat. She knew instantly who it was. "Everypony i would like you to meet Acrylic!" Said Miss cherliee and Diamond tiara looked up. oh my god she thought as she looked up at the colt and she couldn't stop staringat him, the way his hair was styled and the face that was so handsome and his cutiemark of the paint pallet and brush, She felt like she was in heaven. "well....?" whispered her friend and Diamond tiara got a look of determination on her face. "hes mine" She whispered and she meant it, she wasn't going to let any mare take her crush away from her.
