Applejack trotted down the path towards her barn, two large saddlebags on her sides. The small scooter was on her back. She thought to herself about the filly that Rainbow Dash was so desperately trying to cheer up. If only Applejack knew sooner of how much the filly was suffering, she would have offered the filly to stay earlier. She only really knew her pain for a couple weeks, when Pinkie Pie told her.
A sad Pinkie Pie walked through town her normally pink fluffy hair now flat against her head. She walked through the large crowd, all the ponies stared at her not knowing what to say to their pink friend. Applejack stood at her apple stand, Applebloom standing beside her smiling at all the ponies on the busy market day. Pinkie walked past the cart, not paying attention to the two Apples. Applejack waved at first then seeing the sad face and deflated hair she turned to Applebloom
"Keep an eye on the stan' Applebloom" She said trotting towards her down friend. Pinkie hardly paid attention to the earth pony as she stared at the road. "Pinkie?" The country mare said keeping pace with her friend. "What's wrong?" The pink mare kept trotting, not answering for a moment, tears pooling in her eyes.
"Birthdays are supposed to be fun…" She muttered keeping her eyes on the ground. Applejack thought at that statement, it wasn't Pinkie's birthday so who was she talking about?
"Ah don't follow sugarcube." She said with her southern drawl. Pinkie Pie looked up at her friend tears staining her cheeks.
"It's Scootaloo's birthday on Thursday." She stammered, "I wanted to through her a awesome party so I went and asked her dad what she liked…" She paused before blurting out a long string of words. "He said she doesn't want anything because there's no need to celebrate her birthday because it's the day her mom died because she killed her when she was born and he blames her and she won't get a party to celebrate her mom dying." Applejack paused for a moment just staring at her friend. "so I can't give her a super awesome happy party for her 10th birthday!" She started crying holding onto the other mare.
"I bet we can do something to make her day a bit better Pinkie." The country mare said squeezing the other mare. "I have an idea!"
That was a while ago and she wanted to make her birthday the best possible. Suddenly she saw Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo trotting towards her.
"Ah thought you two were gonna meet me at the barn?" She said looking up at her rainbow friend.
"Well We could but I wanted to grab Scootaloo's scooter." She said, "I thought me and her could have a little race." Scootaloo's face lit up at the thought of racing her hero. "You game squirt?"
"Yes!" She shouted running towards the earth pony who had her scooter. She grabbed the scooter and prepared to race ahead.
"Haha I'll count you two in then?" The earth mare said receiving nods from the two pegasi. "Okay, One… Two… Three… GO!" She shouted as the two pegasi sped off. Rainbow Dash took the lead at first racing down the street, Scootaloo close behind. They reached a hill which gave Scootaloo a boost of speed, passing Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash smiled at the look upon Scootaloo's face, the pure enjoyment as she raced. She giggled and sped up keeping pace right behind the filly. Both the pegasi laughed as they raced, smiling the whole time. They reached the dirt path leading to the barn, Scootaloo sped up to get s bit of space between her and. The mare laughed at her attempt speeding up and passing the filly.
"See ya Squirt!" She shouted, keeping a steady pace. The filly hit a ramp on the path sending her flying faster past the flying pony. She giggled pacing down the rest of the road reaching the Barn.
"I won!" She shouted bouncing up and down. The rainbow maned Pegasus tackled the filly to the ground, tickling her as she squirmed. "st… st… sttttoooppp ittt!" She laughed squirming under the mare. The mare continued tickling the filly, laughing at her attempts to knock her off.
"Let her go Rainbow!" Applejack said walking up to the two ponies. She pushed her rainbow maned friend off the filly, giggling at the two with smiles plastered on their faces.
"Applejack! Applejack!" Scootaloo shouted, " I won! I beat Rainbow!" She beamed
"Congrats Squirt, now how about you and Rainbow go in the kitchen and make a snack while I pick up Applebloom?" She asked then looked towards Rainbow "Rainbow, can you take these bags up to Scootaloo's room? I'll be back." She tossed the saddlebags off her back smiled then turned back down the path.
"Anything for you AJ" Rainbow shouted then trotted into the barn then turned towards the filly, before heading up the stairs. "Make yourself at home squirt."
AN: From now on I'll try to make longer chapters. I hope everyone is enjoying it. :)
