As the day normally went by, i decided to plan out my week instead of studying for my test, again. I also got to have a fun time laughing at Diamond Tiara since she had her face covered in about six pounds of makeup that ran down and around her face from the water assault.

As funny as it was, i did wonder how the makeup wasn't completely wiped when the super soaker cleared three other fillies covered in syrup.

Finally, after a few hours of doing work for stuff we didnt really need to know about, the lunch/recess bells rang to signify half an hour of freedom, most of the time spent to eat. We departed outside to start our lunch, or play on the swings if we were to finish.

Applebloom, Sweetiebelle and i got together at the usual tree that we always ate at and began to do such. After about three silent minutes of eating bland hay sandwiches, Sweetiebelle was the first to start conversation.

"So, what are you doing for your date?" She asked, looking to Applebloom for her suggestion.

"Well, what do you wanna do scoots?" She said, directing my attention from snails, who was at the time getting his horn stuck in a tree again. That seems to happen alot to unicorns.

I did a little bit of thinking and said,"I dunno, it's not a serious date so we shouldn't waste alot of bits on it, maybe we can go to sugarcube corner for something? Sweetiebelle, you're the one with dating knowledge, what should we do?"

She shuffled and responded, "I don't have alot of 'knowledge' in it, Rarity just showed me the basics," she said, "but since you're going with Applebloom, why not go somewhere apple related, like Sweet Apple Acres?"

Applebloom didn't seem to want that. "Ah don't think that's a good idea," she said, "ah live there so it's not really too special a place at all to go to, and ah don't know how kindly they would take to me going out with a filly."

"Why would they care about that?" I asked, slightly confused.

"From what Rarity told me, Applejack is a lesbian." Sweetiebelle brought up, almost too subtlely

So THAT'S what it's called!

"SHE IS!?" We both asked quite loudly, though most ponies were more focused on things like passing hearts and hooves cards and getting snails out of a tree to care about our outbursts.

"That's what Rarity told me. She pointed out that she's always with Rainbowdash and seems to stare at her alot, with Rainbow doing the same back. If what Rarity says is true, it seems that both of your sisters have a secret crush on each other."

"WHAT??!!" We both said in pure unison. Why was I just now hearing of this?!

My sis likes mares? That's probably the most interesting thing I never knew about her. Who would have thought that the pony with the rainbow hair and tomboyish voice would be into girls?!

Applebloom seemed to be more shocked than I. She just sat on the tree trunk and stared off, mouth half open in a puzzled way.

About a minute of akward silence later, she started smiling to herself for some reason. "Are you ok", Sweetiebelle asked.

"Just fine, but there is something ah kinda want to say now before the date now, but promise not to laugh!" She asked.

"Promise, now what's up?" I asked.

"Well, about the whole applejack thing and having a date with Scootaloo thing..."

"Yeeeesss???" We asked

She blushed, glanced in my direction stuttered quickly, "A-Ahm also into fillies!"

After a small silence i decided to speak up with the wisest words i could muster."Ok"

"Ok? Ya have no problem with me liking fillies?" She asked, now with a huge grin on her face.

"Well, what's wrong with being a lesbian", Sweetiebelle asked "there are many mares and fillies that feel the same way! Besides your two sisters, alot of mares here are homosexual due to the low population of stallions near Ponyville,"

Ok, why does Sweetie Belle know so much about this, she's like, what, 9? Rarity talks too much, i thought to myself, adding two new long words to the 'use later' file in my brain.

"When did ya learn that?" Apple Bloom asked for me.

"Rarity told me." she responded, which cleared up her abundant knowledge into relationship status, and proved myself right "She said that of her friends, only her and Fluttershy are 100% straight, though Pinkie is bi."

Even for a filly she knows abit more than i would expect. And why is Rarity even passing secrets to Sweetiebelle like that? Seems kinda mean. No, not mean... creepy at least.

"What's bi mean?" I asked, but got no response since she was more focused on Applebloom.

"Should we be talkin about other ponies without knowing if there ok with it?" Applebloom asked.

"Oh, what's a little gossip gonna do to anypony?" Sweetie asked.

"Why don't we ask Gabby Gums?" Applebloom answered, bringing up a touchy subject.

"Oh, great idea!" Sweetiebelle chirped "'hey gabby, is gossip an ok thing every now and then?'"

"We're not gabby anymore." Applebloom grumbled.

"You made the name."

"You made the papers."

"We ALL made the papers!"

I figured if best stop their useless quarrel before it gets bad. "Uh, girls?" I interrupted, "I don't think arguing is the best idea."

"Why not?" Applebloom asked, now fairly irritated.

"Well, consider that when we argue, bad things seem to happen. Remember discord?"

"Nah, we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time" sweetie answered," he was prabobly gonna break out sooner or later anyway, as the princess told us"

Remembering Celestia explaining what happened after the distorted ponyville incident, I couldn't say much against it. "Yeah, that guy is untamable, he will probably stay evil and enstoned forever now though", i said as a pretty pink butterfly landed on my foreleg.

Hey, why is there a butterfly in winter?

"When is the next snow day gonna be, Scoots?" Applebloom asked after noticing the bug.

"Hmm? Rainbow dash said it will snow over hearts and hooves day, should start around 3:00." I answered as it caught some wind and flew towards fluttershy's cottage in the distance.

"Ohhh, that will look beautiful in the night!" Sweetiebelle started, "with all the lights and the snow It will be so romantic and cute and-"

After about 2 minutes of girly adjectives that i didn't need to hear, Applebloom rose her forehoof to sweetie's face to shut her up.

"Yeah, ok. Hey Scootaloo, can we talk later?"

"Sure" i said, unsure of her intentions, "what do you wanna talk about?"

"About the date, i need to tell you something before we go." She answered with an earnest look.

"The straight look is being ruined by the bow, you know," I said "makes you look more cute than serious"

She blushed, looking up at the pink bow tied to her hair and losing whatever serious mannerism she had. "y-you think ah look cute?" She asked, her southern accent getting quieter.

"Yeah, what's not cute about you?" I sat up from the tree root i was laying on to get a better look of her. The focus of the chat moved from sarcasm to something else. As usual, she looked great. Her whole body had perfect shape, from her shiny red hair to her strong legs from working on the farm. Her bright face had the sweet hint of scarlet across the top of her cheeks, which significantly added to her beauty. ~wait... What am i thinking?~

Sweetiebelle looked back and forth between us, then seemed to begin a intense thinking stage, with one hoof under her chin and the other making pictures in the air that were either hearts or bad stars. After about 2 minutes of me staring at Applebloom, Applebloom staring at me and Sweetiebelle weirdly spacing out, her eyes lit up as if she apparently learned something new by just looking at us. "Oooohhhhh. I get it now!" She said, breaking my 85% concentration on Applebloom.

"Get what?" I asked, clueless to her outburst. Applebloom seemed to understand her though, as she began waving her arms in a "shut up" kind of way.

Suddenly the sky behind Sweetiebelle flared a small, neon green light in the sky, slowly flying toward us.

"It's that Applebloom li-" that's all she said before before the sky glowed green. The thing sped closer, increasing the tempature of the air enough to melt what snow there was, and soared into the school bell. As it hit, it sent an extreme shock wave that knocked everypony who was standing a good meter back. The ground changed to the tree's trunk as the force blasted me into the bark. Sweetiebelle bounced next to the tree and tumbled downhill. Applebloom almost had the same fate as sweetie, but i caught her hindleg on her backflip.

The world shook as an explosion hit the earth, shaking so much that i couldn't see anything. After a strong ten seconds of an ear basting ring from something hard hitting the bell at full speed, my vision came back to full strength. Letting go of AB, i got a first look of what seemed to be the coolest non rainbowdash thing in my life.

The entire school had been blasted to peices. Wooden planks shot out from everywhere, random school supplies scattered everywhere. The sky had grown darker as i watched smoke rise from the school. The weirdest part though was the fire, seeing as how it was forest green, with very little yellow and blue at the crests. From what my teacher told me, that shouldnt make sense. green is the mix of yellow and blue, but only with pigments. These flames were dancing as if being painted instead of just illuminated, with the colors swirling around like that.

Every so often, ominous shock waves came from the center of the wreckage, each causing a stupid action,, each more random than the last. First a wave of pure green light shot out, covering me in... Was that glitter? Then, after a minute, literal water waves squirted out, dowsing us instead of the green inferno, then drying immediately due to the heat.

Applebloom took a scan around the area as she got up. "Wait," She said, walking up next to me, "Where's Ms. Cheerily?"

"She was inside the school still!" I called over a sea of rock music. Even with the green fire everywhere, my entire body became cold. In the middle of the wreckage, i could just see her body through the smoke, and it didnt look very good. Our teacher was stuck, wedged between some support beams. She was still breathing, but seemed to be having trouble finding air. Just ten feet above her, the bell was set on some roof parts. There was a gaping hole in the side of the brass shell. Unfortunantly, the fire was hitting the sides of the bell's support, showing weakness to the flame.

"We have to help her! I yelled as another green wave shot from the crashed... Thingy. This time, chickens flew everywhere and scattered in fear of the flames.

"It's too dangerous, the roof's gonna collapes!" Applebloom yelled.

"Yeah, and it's gonna collapse on our teacher if we don't save her!"

She nodded to silently agree to that, and we both galloped into the fire.
