The Cutie Mark Crusaders' Mission
Chapter 5: 5. Chapter 5
Previous ChapterThe Apple Festival has come to Ponyville, and the mane six decided to have some fun there...
Apple Jack's P.O.V
Pinkie Pie seems to not get enough of the sweets that are made with apple. She chugs down another cup of apple cider and then she gazes at the apple pie. She then eats up the whole pie. "Pinkie, if you keep eating so many sweets, then you'll become so hyper," I teased.
"I don't care," She replied with a wide grin as she starts eating a piece of apple cake.
So many treats made with apples are at the festival. There's apple pies, apple ciders, apple cakes, and much more. There's even apple bobbing contests and apple pie eating contests. The cool air blows my mane as one of the ponies approach the stand. "I want a caramel apple," The mare said.
"Okay," I replied as I lend her a caramel apple.
"Thanks."
Sweetie Belle's P.O.V
Scootaloo and Apple Bloom rush to watch the apple bobbing contest. I join them, and then Apple Bloom smirks at us. "Maybe this will get us cutie marks! Let's give apple bobbing a try," She said.
As the contest ends, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and I attempt to get the apples out of the bucket. "I'm gonna fall into the bucket," I exclaimed as I attempt to grab an apple.
I climb out of the bucket a second later, and Scootaloo tries to get the apple. She places her head in the water, and then she grabs an apple. "Aw, come on. You know you cheated," I said.
She spits the apple, and then gives me a smug expression. "I didn't cheat. I have wings, so ha. You gotta wait until you get taller and stronger," Scootaloo said.
"Would you quit it? I don't wanna hear any more boasting," Apple Bloom said.
"Cheater," I whispered.
Scootaloo raises her eyebrow at me, as if she hears what I say about her. "Nothing," I added in quickly, "I'm just talking to myself."
"C'mon," She replied as she places her head into the bucket to get another apple.
Apple Bloom approaches the bucket, and I hop onto her back to get the apples. I place my head in the water, and I grab an apple. I throw the apple out of the bucket, and then I once again stick my head in the water to grab another apple.
I grab another apple, and then I place it on the ground. I look to the right to check on Scootaloo. Her wings are flapping wildly as she is about to fall into the bucket. It's like she's trying to reach for an apple- and she is. I giggle, and I hop off of Apple Bloom's back.
Scootaloo falls into the water, and she gives me a puzzled look. "What's so funny?" She asked as she tries to climb out of the bucket.
"Your wings don't work right sometimes," I replied.
"Oh, I get it. It's not like my wings have to get real big so that I could get the apple." She rolls her eyes for a second as she lands on the ground.
Rarity's P.O.V
"Do you wanna be in the pie eating contest with me? What about apple bobbing contest? What do you wanna do? It doesn't really matter," Pinkie Pie asked.
"Pinkie, I don't want to get my mane dirty. I don't want my mane wet either," I replied.
"But you can wash the crumbs out of your mane though."
"Seriously! I don't want any crumbs in my mane!"
"All right then. I'll just go to the pie eating contest." And she hops off to the contest. She's always been that hyper.
Pinkie Pie's P.O.V
Rarity is such a princess sometimes, maybe because she doesn't want her mane dirty. I excitedly start to eat the pie, and the other ponies started eating the pies a minute later. As the contest continues, the ponies cheer. I finish the pie, and a mare gives me an award that consists of eight pies and so many more sweets made with apples.
I hop over to the bucket where they are holding an apple bobbing contest. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom are arguing about their award. "No, I hopped on your back to get the apples, so I deserve it," Sweetie Belle said.
"No, this is mine cause you helped me to get the apples. And we don't get any cutie marks," Apple Bloom replied as she glances at her flank.
"You're not gonna be blank flanks forever, though," Apple Jack told the fillies.
"The only way to get-" Rarity said.
"We get it," Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo said in unison, "Patience, patience... Who needs it?"
I place my head into the water to get the apples. I grab a few apples and then I place them into the bucket.
Fluttershy's P.O.V
Rainbow, Twilight, and I watch the apple bobbing contest. Pinkie Pie quickly grabs more apples, and the other ponies are trying to get the apples. The funny thing is, that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are arguing about who deserves the prize.
Scootaloo just seems a bit puzzled, and as her friends stop arguing, I walk up to them. "Well, I deserve the prize because Sweetie Belle helped me," Apple Bloom said.
"It doesn't matter who wins. You two may have worked as a team," I replied.
"No, I jumped onto Apple Bloom's back to get the apples," Sweetie Belle said.
"That's called teamwork," Apple Jack said.
"How is that 'teamwork?' We are just trying to prove to Scootaloo that she can't always win everything," Apple Bloom replied.
"I see."
Rainbow Dash's P.O.V
Typical Scootaloo, thinking that she can just win everything. It's impossible to win everything- unless a certain pony is awesome in every way. Pinkie Pie's hair is wet from the contest, and a lot of apples are in the bucket. "Hey! How are you?" She asked.
"We're fine," Twilight and I said in unison.
Apple Bloom's P.O.V
"You can have some of this," I told Sweetie Belle as I give her some of the sweets made with apples.
"Hey! How come I don't get anything?" Scootaloo said.
"Because you lost, remember?" Sweetie Belle told her.
"So? I still deserve something."
"Well, get your own sweets from the apple treats stand."
"But the line over there is horribly long."
Apple Jack seems to realize that she abandoned the treats stand. She quickly rushes back, and most of the ponies seem impatient. Scootaloo gets into the line, and Apple Jack quickly lends the treats to each pony.
Pinkie Pie hops some more, and she is talking with her friends as they walk around. Pinkie Pie is a hyper party pony, right? An half hour passes, and Scootaloo finally gets the treats.
Hope you love the story. Well, they don't get the cutie marks, but they may someday. Any reviews/comments appreciated.
