Trust Restore

"Well," Sweetie Belle said at last, "We have decided that we are going to think clearly from now on." "And how are we going to do that?" Apple Bloom asked. "We just do?" Twist suggested. "Easier said than done," Scootaloo added in, quietly, "And-"

"Don't worry," Apple Bloom said, "We've dealt with Babs Seeds when she went with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoons." "Yeah," Sweetie Belle agreed, "And this shouldn't have been this difficult, either." "Right," Scootaloo tried to agree, "But this guy went all out." "That is true," Twist said, "But seriously, you shouldn't let him get to you."

"I tried," Scootaloo said, "But he is right about one thing. I was being careless today." "That may be true," Twist said, "But he shouldn't have to yell at you and say all those awful things."

"Yes!" Sweetie Belle agreed, "Don't let that jerk make you feel down!" "That is true," Apple Bloom said, "My sister said she'd had to deal with those kinds of ponies. And she'd always stick to her own path. You can do the same thing, too!"

"I know," Scootaloo agreed, "And I want to try even more!" "That's the spirit!" Sweetie Belle said, "You can do it!" "We can do it!" Apple Bloom added in. "You're right," Scootaloo agreed, "We can do this together because we're the cutie mark crusaders!"

"You are right!" Twist said, "And I know my path now." "Yeah," Apple Bloom agreed, trying to not think about that day. "You can do this," Twist said to Scootaloo. "I know," Scootaloo finally said, "Thank you. For everything." "Great!" Sweetie Belle added in.

After that, Scootaloo felt much better and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were once again feeling strong together. "That's great for the three of you," Twist said. "Thanks," Scootaloo smiled. "Oh," Twist said, "I'm sorry, I've got to be somewhere." "That's okay, Twist," Apple Bloom said, "You may go."

"And thanks for being with us today," Scootaloo said. "No problem," Twist said, "I'm happy to help as much as I can." "Thank you," Scootaloo said. "No problem," Apple Bloom said.

"Yeah," Sweetie Belle agreed, "We're in this together." "Really!" Apple Bloom said. "Well, good luck," Twist said as she left.

After Twist left, the Cutie Mark Crusaders decided on what they were going to do next. "All right," Scootaloo said, "I will try!" "Try what?" Sweetie Belle asked.

The three are in for a surprise.
