Meeting A Former Friend

Some time later that day, after listening to Pinkie Pie's story about her family on the rock farm, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were walking together. "That was unusual," Sweetie Belle said. "Next time," Pinkie Pie said, "I'll tell you all about how Equestria is formed. And maybe a story about my family."

"Pass," Scootaloo replied. "Okey-dokey-lokey," Pinkie Pie said before she bounced away. "That pony is something else," said Scootaloo, "Who knows?" "Well," said Sweetie Belle, "Let's find something that we could do today."

"Well," Apple Bloom replied, "My older sister is going to the Grand Galloping Gala in a couple of night from now." "Oh," Sweetie Belle replied, "So is my sister." "Should we go?" Scootaloo asked.

The three friends thought about it for less than 30 seconds. "Nah," they all concluded.

"Let's try something else," said Scootaloo. "I'm not sure," said Apple Bloom. "What?" Scootaloo asked. "Well, let's not talk to Diamon Tiara and Silver Spoon," Apple Bloom said.

That's when they noticed the two stuck-up fillies walking nearby. This time, they decided to not talk to them and instead hid from them behind a barrel. "That was close," Scootaloo said.

"Yeah," Sweetie Belle said, "We know what they would do to us." "Yeah," Apple Bloom said, "Brag." "Whoever raised them?" Scootaloo asked, "To be like this?" "We don't know," Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said together.

"Well," Scootaloo said, "What now?" "Hello, Apple Bloom," a familiar nasally voice said. The three fillies turned to see another filly, who is familiar to Apple Bloom. "Oh, hi, Twist," Apple Bloom said to the filly.

"Hello," Twist replied in a shy voice. "Hi," Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said together, "Twist." "How's it been?" Twist asked, "Apple Bloom." "Doing fine," Apple Bloom answered in an optimistic voice. "Well," said Scootaloo, "I'm pleased."
