A Jerk Of A Problem

Several days later, the cutie mark crusaders were once again at their tree clubhouse figuring out what they are going to do next.

"So, what's next?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Well," Scootaloo answered, trying to come up with an answer. "Uh, Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I don't have anything," Scootaloo replied meekly. "Yeah, we got nothing, too," Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said together, not coming up with anything. "We're out for the day," Apple Bloom added in. "Yeah, I know," Scootaloo said. "Then club dismissed?" Apple Bloom said.

Later that day, Scootaloo was on her scooter. She was just zipping around, having fun. It was a nice day for her to be out and about.

"Yep," Scootaloo said, "It is a lovely day today. You know, I wasn't thinking at all today. I tried to come up with an idea, but it was hard at the time. So, I'll come up with something. In fact, I have come up with something. I remember meeting some ponies a while ago, so maybe I can invite them. I'll go into full details about it later."

Scootaloo was so deep in her thought that she wasn't paying any attention to everything around her. Other ponies had to stop suddenly for her.

But there was one pony who was just minding his own business. Until Scootaloo nearly ran into him.

Luckily, she missed him at the last minute. "Oh, I'm sorry," Scootaloo said, realizing her mistake. However, Scootaloo ran into the wrong kind of pony. His name is Smarty Nerd. "What was that about?!" he shouted. "I'm really sorry," Scootaloo tried to apologize.

"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!" the pony named Smarty Nerd shouted at Scootaloo. "But, sir," Scootaloo protested, "I didn't mean it!" "Didn't mean it?!" Smarty replied, "You mean it with your recklessness! You clumsy looser! " This made Scootaloo sad.

Another filly named Twist was walking nearby when she heard Smarty Nerd's ranting. Twist looked to see Smarty Nerd saying some awful things to Scooaloo. She is horrified. "Oh dear," she said.

"And for once!" Smarty Nerd concluded, "Fly you grounded excuse of a filly!" This hurt Scootaloo's feelings and Smarty Nerd walked away unsympathetically. Twist saw the whole thing and walked towards Scootaloo.

"Are you okay, Scootaloo?" Twist asked. Scootaloo felt hurt. "Oh, man," Twist said.

Twist stayed by Scootaloo for the next few minutes.
