Chapter 2 One Last Letter
"You are truly not dead until you write your will" ~Shadow
One week, one week pass by, there was about the same amount of pony's getting sick as there was before, Miss. Cheerilee tried to talk to her advisor to get school to be close so the dieses wont spread all over her students. But the principal wouldn't listen, saying that just like every flu they come and they will go and that there was no need to panic. Annoyed, the elementary school teacher had class like schedule and the only thing on any filly mind was the sick. As the students whispered to each other about how their family is doing, Miss. Cheerilee took role, and notices that one filly was still not present, Rumble. Understanding that there is a flu virus going around she could understand why he had not been going to school lately for his older brother is sick with the flu and in the hospital.
During Lunch and every filly was outside either playing Four Square, Tic Tac Toe, or just a friendly game of Tag, every filly was outside and enjoying the nice sunny weather. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were coming up with a new plan to get their cutie marks. Scootaloo, as usual came up with the most ridiculous of plans. "I got it!" Shouted the excited filly under a tree with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.
"Did you got an apple?" Ask Apple Bloom as Scootaloo was inside the apple tree.
"I already an apple, but I know how we can get our cutie marks!"
Sweetie Belle sighed. "Scootaloo" moan Sweetie Belle, every time you get one of your ideas something goes wrong, wasn't it your idea to make Miss. Cherriliee and Apple Blooms brother to fall in love?" Sweeite Belle pointed out.
Apple Bloom joins in on the conversation. "And we all know how much fun and a good idea that was."
Scootaloo jump down from the tree landing right next to the two fillies. "That was a long time ago girls, this time I got it, we can all be doctors!" Both of the girls Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle did not join in on Scootaloo idea of getting their cutie mark right away. "What's wrong girls?"
Sweetie Belle remains quite as Apple Bloom told Scootaloo what was on her mind. "That's a great idea and all, but with this flu virus going around don't you think it might be a good idea to let the real doctors do the medical stuff first?"
"No Apple Bloom." Said Scootaloo as she pulled both Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom closer to her. "This is the perfect time; if we can cure these sick ponies faster than our doctors we are surely able to get our cutie marks!" Scootaloo put both of her hooves up in the air and both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle gave Scootaloo a brohoof.
The following day when school had ended the Cutie Mark Crusaders had set up a stand, there was a sign and it read, "Get well, get better, come to the CMC hospital clinic." As the Cutie Mark Crusaders sat and wait for some pony to give them a visit. Apple Bloom did not like the quietness of the town. "I don't like this Scootaloo, ponyvill is a ghost town since every pony is sick."
"It's only us Pegasus that are sick Apple Bloom, but I don't live up there, so that is why we set up shop down here!" Not too long after did Ruble came walking by minding his own business, Scootaloo notice him right away. "It's Rumble!" Mumble Scootaloo under breath.
Sweetie Belle who heard Scootaloo saying Rumbles name and then noticing him off into the differences decided to tease Scootaloo for a little bit. All the filly's tease Scootaloo at school about Rumble saying that she likes him even though she denies it heavy every time. "Rumble!" Said Sweetie in her sweet voice. Rumble, who had no idea what was going on heard his name being called, stop, and took a look at the Cutie Mark Cursaders. Scootaloo tried to make Sweetie be quite. "Could you come here for a minute?"
"What are you doing Sweetie?" Ask Scootaloo furiously with a quiet voice.
Even Apple Bloom joins in on the fun as Rumble was approaching the stand. "How is your brother doing Rumble?" Ask Apple Bloom as she blinks her eyelids multiplies of time.
"My brother is still sick Apple Bloom." Rumble said quietly. "Nurse Redheart does not know how all of these others ponies are getting sick, but she is doing the best she can."
"How about the rest of your family?" Ask Scootaloo.
"My brother is my only family Scootaloo."
Scootaloo said nothing; she knows how hard it is to not have a big family like Apple Bloom or Sweetie Belle has. Apple Bloom kept on flirting with Rumble. "That must be terrible, we here at the CMC Hospital Clinic we have everything you need to fight that dirty flu just in case you might get the snuffles."
Rumble smiled but denied the offer. "Thank you Apple Bloom but I don't think I will need anything right now." Rumble dip his head in respect and said. "I need to get going." And without waiting for a good buy Rumble carried on.
The Cuite Mark Cursaders wave him a goodbye; Apple Bloom elbowed Scootallo in her side and said. "You like him."
"NO I DON'T!" Shouted Sootaloo back as the two fillies' started to get into a little bit of a ply fight with each other.
