Scene 5: Assembling a Team, Part 1- Getting a Guide

AB=Apple Bloom

-Sweet Apple Acres-

Following Twilight's advice, Rainbow Dash went to see Apple Bloom at the Cutie Mark Crusader's clubhouse in Sweet Apple Acres.

RD-"Apple Bloom! You here?"

Apple Bloom peered out of the window.

AB-"Well hay there, Rainbow Dash! What're you doin' in Sweet Apple Acres?"

RD-"Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you remember the Everfree Forest?"

AB-"Yeah, ah' remember it. Ah've been there at least three times before. Why do ya ask?"

RD-"Well, you see, I saw this phoenix and I really want to tame it. It lives in the Everfree Forest, and I need a guide. Are you willing to help?"

AB-"Go in there AGAIN after what happened in Sunny Town? Ah' don't think so!"

RD-"Aw, come on! It's probably not as bad as it seems! And if you do this, you might get your Cutie-"

Just then, Apple Bloom burst out the front door of the clubhouse, donning her CMC cape.

AB-"Cutie Mark Crusaders, go! Ah'm comin' with you, Rainbow!"

RD-"Great! Should we get the rest of the Crusaders?"

AB-"Sure. Ah'm sure Scootaloo would like to adventure with you, Rainbow. And Sweetie Belle might enjoy it, too!"

Suddenly, Applejack appeared, hauling two cart fulls of apples behind her.

AJ-"Well hay there, Rainbow Dash! Back so soon?"

RD-"Oh yeah! I was just here to convince Apple Bloom to guide me through the Everfree Forest so I ca-"

AJ-"Everfree Forest? No way, Rainbow Dash! That place is way too dangerous for this little filly!"

AB-"But sis! I could get my Cutie Mark and I want to find this Phoenix thing and I want to go adventuring with my friends and I wa-"

AJ-"Okay, fine. You can go, just make sure to look after her, okay, Rainbow?"

RD-"Sure thing."

And with that they left Sweet Apple Acres.
