I wonder what they're doing. I thought to myself. I have to remember not to get paint all over this time! I ran along the dirt road leading to Applejack's house. I turned when I got to the edge of the fence outlining their property. I think this is the way. Only after bumping into Applejack did I finally see the clubhouse. I ran up the ramps leading to the door and burst inside.
"Feather!" Sweetie belle shouted as soon as she realized who it was. They jumped up and started running for me. I was tackled by a giant group hug, and when I recovered, I saw Scootaloo gaping at my horn.
"What happened?!" Applebloom asked as she poked it.
I put my head down before responding. "I don't wanna talk about it." Sweetie Belle gave me a hug and she walked back to whatever they were doing. I followed Applebloom, and we left Scootaloo standing there. After Scootaloo had recovered, we started talking about the next crusade.
"What if we tried to organize the library for Twilight?" Sweetie belle suggested.
"We already tried that. It didn't work." Applebloom said.
"Have we tried art yet?" I asked.
"Yes." They all told me at the same time.
We tossed suggestions around for a while until we gave up and broke out paints.
I think this goes without saying, but I forgot what I told myself earlier. Oops.
There was a knock at the door, and moms voice came from the other side.
"Before I come in, did you guys use paints again?"
Oh no. I thought to myself.
"Uhhh... No?"
"Feather! I told you what would happen if you got paint everywhere!"
I ran and hid under the table. The door opened and I saw blue hooves walking towards the table. I sighed as I crawled out from under the table, revealing my paint streaked coat. We all had painted cutie marks on our flanks.
"*sigh* come on, let's go." She turned around and I waved as I followed her out.
After an awful bath, I went downstairs and grabbed an apple. I went back up to my room and set it on the bed. I began practicing for tomorrow's lesson, because I wanted to learn as much as I could.
I woke up and ran downstairs. I grabbed my apple, packed my bags and saw moms usual note. Gone to work, Twilights at nine, be home soon! I looked at the clock, it was eight thirty. It's not the end of the world if I'm early, right? I thought to myself. Before I left, I noticed writing on the back of the note.
P.s. don't go to Applejack's today. I'm taking you somewhere!
Cool! I get to go somewhere! I thought to myself as I walked out the door. On my flight to ponyville, I thought about where I might be going. The wonderbolts had a show in Cloudsdale, but that was tomorrow, and Mom said we couldn't go.
Before I knew it, I was standing at the front door of the library. It only took me five minutes to get there, so I used my extra time to say hi to Fluttershy. I looked through the window and saw mom there.
"Oh, of course! I'll help any way I can." Fluttershy said. I really need to stop eavesdropping, but I learn stuff like what the other CMC members are doing.
"Okay so he gets in trouble with me, but I don't know what to do, so he gets off without a hitch!" I heard mom say.
"Well, what does he do?"
"He paints on himself, and I have to give him a bath to get all the paint off."
"That's odd..."
"I know!"
"What does he paint exactly?"
"He paints a cutie mark on his flank."
"That sounds like a behavior problem. You should go talk to Twilight. She helped me when Angel wouldn't listen to me."
"Sure. Wait, he has magic lessons with twilight!"
"When?"
"Nine o'clock."
"It's only eight forty five. You have enough time."
"Alright, thanks Fluttershy!" The door next to me burst open, and I dove into a bush before any pony could see me.
