Chapter 14: The clothing store disaster

(Back in Canterlot moments later)

  Shortly afterwards the meeting about what happen in Vanhoover wrapped up with Nicko, Amy and the other humans were outside with Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Rarity herself had wandered off on one of her personal shopping sprees after hearing about a famous clothes designer at one of the nearest fashion outlets.

“So… Now what?” Spike asked. “We got a few hours to kill so does anypony have a suggestion on how to pass the time?”

“Maybe a tour through the city?” Anson suggested. “I’ve never really been through a city like this one before and maybe I might find something that I want to check out. What do you think, Nicko?”

        The words check out made Nicko think of a library. Which also reminded him of the Notebook of Starswirl the Bearded back at the Royal library that he needed to look at/acquire. “I think it’s a good idea. But I got somewhere else to be. I’ll catch up with you later.” With that, he took a right turn and made his way through the streets of the sprawling city.

"Well while he's off to....where ever the hell he's going I'm gonna see if this place has something that interest me." Said Amy as she was about to walk off, until she was stopped by the cutie mark crusaders mostly Scootaloo.

"Hey Amy I have a question to ask?" Said Scootaloo pulling on Amy's coat.

"Sure what is it?"

"Are you and my sis dating?"

Amy and Rainbow Dashes faces turn bright red towards Scootaloo's question. During the past 3 months some of the folk in pony had notice that the duo been hanging around a lot, and some rumors were being spread around saying that they were dating in secret (Most of the rumors were caused by Rarity.) But other then hearing the usual rumors they pretty much see each other as friends......right?

"W-What are you talking about w-we're just friends right RD?"

"Y-Yeah just friends that's all kid."

"Then how come I hear rumors about you two hanging out with each other?" Asked Sweetie Belle.

"There just rumors Sweetie Belle they can't all be true." Said Rainbow Dash

"Then why does Amy sleep in the same house we do then?" Asked Applebloom.

"Hey not my fault your home is made of cloud." Said Amy. "Plus I never slept on a bed made of clouds." Scootaloo raised an eye brow still not convince at Amy's statement. "Then how come you two are sleeping in the same bed?" She asked.  "We'll that because we only have two beds at the moment, plus it's kinda hard to make a new bed in the house with limited space." Said Rainbow Dash smiling awkwardly trying to convince Scootaloo. "Come on Scoots you know me right? If I was dating somepony I would of told you sooner."

"Yeah...but still." Scootaloo was still not convince that they were telling her the truth. Amy mentally called Selena for someway out of this situation, without causing any sibling problem.  

"Crap she still thinks were a couple quick Selena think of something."

"You could always make her your apprentice, that might work."

"Good idea!"

"Hey Scootaloo want to be a pyro knight?"

"Hey don't change the.....wait what?" Said Scootaloo looking at Amy with a confuse look on her face.

"I said do you want to be a pyro knight?" Amy said as she pulled out a Pyro Knight's Determination badge from her pocket.

"You mean I can be just like you?" Asked Scootaloo with sparkles in her eye.

"Yep just imagine it, you'll be the only pegasus with the power of fire on your side." Amy was about to hand the badge over to her, but was pulled away by Rainbow Dash. "Hey what's the big idea?"

"You sure that badge of yours will work on Scoots?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Cause the last time you used that on me it did nothing."

"That's because your already have the elements of harmony remember?" Amy replied pointing at the jewel around RD's neck. "Plus this will be a good thing."

"How is teaching a 18 year-old pegasus to use fire a good thing?"

"Not that you chuckle head, I'm saying that in case I....well kick the bucket, get killed, or end up in a different universe or something. Then this world will have a protector when I'm not around."

"I don't know...."

"Oh relax what's the worse that can happen?" Amy said as she walked over to Scootaloo again. "So how about it kid wanna be my apprentice?"

Scootaloo looked at Rainbow Dash with a look of excitement on her face, Rainbow Dash nodded giving her little sister the ok sign to be Amy's apprentice. "Yes!"

"Ok then, now before I give it to you just promise me something?"

"What's that?" Asked Scootaloo.

"Don't burn down the apple trees in sweet apple acres, less you want to be sent flying but Applebloom's sister." She said pointing a finger at Applejack who blushed in embarrassment.

"I said I was sorry alright, will you let it go?" Said Applejack.

"Will you stop calling me a thief then."

"......."

"Thought so," Amy return her attention towards Scootaloo. "So do you promise kid."

"I promise." With that Amy handed the badge over to Scootaloo. When the badge made contact with Scootaloo flames started to form around her, then ingulped her in the flames. At first everypony thought the flames burned her, but in a few seconds the flames died off revealing Scootaloo wearing a new set of clothing.

"Whoa!" Said Scootaloo looking over herself in her new pyro knight outfit.

"Wow Scootaloo you look amazing, wish I could be a pyro knight." Said Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah me two." Said Applebloom.

"I think maybe one pyro knight is enough."

"Plus you don't want get in trouble with Sun Butt."

"Anyway will start your training after we're done in canterlot, so until then let just have a look around till dinner time at the castle."

"Sure, come on girls let's show Amy around Canterlot." Said Scootaloo as she pulled on Amy's arm.

"Yeah cutie mark crusader tour guides!!" Yelled Applebloom & Sweetie Belle as they ran up towards Amy & Scootaloo. In the back behind the four Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash over to have a little chat with her about what happen a few seconds ago.

"Are you nut's or something?" Said Applejack.

"What?"

"Your just gonna trust her after what happen in ponyville, my farm, and what she did to Scootaloo?"

"Look AJ I don't know what's your problem is with Amy, but it's not like she evil or a bad pony or anything."

"Still you just let her make Scootaloo into that pyro....whatever she said she was?" She said while putting her hands on RD's shoulders "Don't you see the danger she put your sis in, what if she tries to make her turn evil and tries to take over equestria or something?"

  Rainbow Dash frown a bit from that comment, normally she wouldn't let stuff like that get to her if it was somepony else, but seeing how it was her friend this pretty much hit her hard. "Look AJ I know you and Amy don't get along that much, but really do you not trust me to know who to trust." She said pulling Aj's hat over her eye's. "Plus I know Amy for 3 months, I doubt she has the knowledge and power to even try to take over Equestria." Applejack pulled her hat from over her eyes looking at RD with a bit of a worry/annoyed look on her face. "I mean look at her, do you really think see's dangerous?"

Applejack turn her attention towards Amy who was pretty much just playing with a yo-yo she bought a while back. "Hm I guess." Just as she was reconsider her thoughts about Amy. Amy did the round the world trick with the yo-yo, just as she did the yo-yo hit her in the forehead.

"Ow! Son of a bitch!" Amy said as she threw the yo-yo in anger. As the yo-yo was sent flying into the air, the object hit and on coming wonderbolt causing the pegasus to fall out of the sky and landing in a public fountain. Applejack looked over at Rainbow Dash with a "You were saying" look on her face.

"Ok maybe she's destructive at time without knowing, but at least she not an evil master mind with a weird germane name right?"

(Some where in the void)

"I don't know why but I feel like punching a rainbow color pegasus. Eric said while traveling through the portal he made a while back."

(Canterlot)

"Touche but I'll be keeping my eye on her." Applejack said walking off towards the market place.

"Ugh she as stubborn as I was 2 years ago." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and flew back to Amy & the Crusaders. "Alright girls where to?"

"Oh Oh let head towards the arcade area." Said Scootaloo.

"Aw but I wanna go to the clothing store." Whined Sweetie Belle.

"I wanna go to the all you can eat buffet." Said Applebloom.

"Um why not all three." Said Amy pulling out a sheet of paper & pen. "Will start with the clothing shop first." As she wrote down clothing store, she heard Scootaloo & Applebllom go "Aw" while Sweetie Belle cheered. "Next we go to the arcade place."

"Aw yeah prepare to lose chumps." Said Scootaloo.

"And last we go to the all you can all you can eat buffet."

"Yay!" Said Applebloom cheering while jumping up and down."

"Question where did Babs & Molly run off to?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Oh they're with Yuri exploring the castle seeing how they never been here before." Amy said while putting the list in her pocket. "Ok now let's go!"

  A few minute of walking later, the group made it to the clothing store. Sweetie Belle was the first to run towards the store dragging Applebloom & Scootaloo along with her, as she ran into the store she accidentally bumped into Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon who were surprise to see the blank flanks in the store.

"Ugh it you blank flanks." Said Diamond with a look of disgust on her face.

"What are you two doing here?" Asked Sweetie Belle picking herself up from the ground along with her friends.

"Well if you must know we were enjoying ourselves shopping for new clothes, that is until you freaks came." Diamond notice that Scootaloo was wearing a strange outfit that got her interested. "What's with that weird outfit your wearing? Are those the only clothing you could find in the lost n found?" She said while laughing along with Silver Spoon.

"For your information you jerks, I just became Amy student in becoming a blazing heart just like her." Scootaloo said with a confident look on her face, this made the two rich girls laugh even harder then before.

"Wow she picked you to be her student?" Said Diamond as she was recovering from her laughing fit. "She must be pretty desperate if she pick you as her apprentice."

"That or take any loser just like your so called sister." Replied Silver Spoon.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE-!" Before Scootaloo could finish her sentence or attack, Sweetie Belle put her arm in front of her. "Now now Scoots remember what Ms. Cheerlie says."

"*sigh*Don't let their words get to you."

"Ha! looks like you just been whipped by your master huh bitch?" Scootaloo gritted her teeth from that remark.

"Look were just here for a little shopping that's all, so why don't you just leave us alone and go on with what your doing." Said Sweetie Belle as she was about to walk off, but was blocked by the duo bullies.

"Sorry but only those with cutie marks are allowed into my fathers store."

"Wait your father owns this store!?" Asked Applebloom.

"Well duh my daddy owns almost all the stores in cCanterlot."

"Yeah which means we can get anything we want for free." Said Silver Spoon.

"Great as if things couldn't get any worse?" Scootaloo mentally said.

"And seeing how we're the boss of this store, your not allow to shop in any of the stores that daddy owns."

"But that's not fair!" Yelled Sweetie Belle. "Who do you think you are, you can't do that."

"We can cause we're rich and your poor." Said Diamond. "So what are you gonna do about it? Call your slutty sister Rarity on us?"

  Everything went silent after Diamond Tiara finished her sentence, seeing how there wasn't that many ponies inside the store you could hear the music playing and some ponies walking out of the store. Two reasons why most of the  ponies left the store, reason one was because they new who Sweetie Belle was, and reason two was that they didn't want to get involve in the fight that was about to happen. The awkward silence was broken when Sweetie Belle spoke.

".....What did you say?"

"Oh no." Said Applebloom.

"Diamond you better stop or-." Said Scootaloo.

"What you didn't know?" Diamond said sarcastically. "I mean you have to have heard the rumor about your sister inviting colts into her shop late at night right?"

"Yeah she pretty much have her way with them." Said Silver Spoon. "I mean I'm surprise that she hasn't gotten sick or anything."

"Oh come on Silver Spoon she a professional hooker, they know how make themselves look good to hide any STDs they have."

  AppleBloom and Scootaloo looked at Sweetie Belle who's face was bright red & one eye twitching. They both looked at each other remembering what happen to Molly when Diamond & Silver made fun of her due to her looks. They new what was gonna happen and normally they would try to stop her, but something told them that they would get caught in the cross fire so they decided to wait to see how things go. When they both looked back at there friend who was walking off towards Diamond with her fist ball up.

"Didn't I tell you to leave the store blank fl-. Diamond Tiara couldn't finish her sentence due to the fact that Sweetie Belles fist made contact with Diamonds face. During that moment time seemed to either slow down or stopped when the punch make contact. This made Applebloom mouth open like something horrific happen, while Scootaloo was pretty much had a smile on her face seeing Diamond getting socked in the face. And it was at that moment when Diamond Tiara realize that she fuck up.......bad.

(Outside the store Rainbow Dash and Amy were hanging outside of the store sitting on the bench.)

"You think it was a good idea to let them go into the store alone?" Asked Rainbow Dash munching on a pretzel.

"Oh relax how much trouble can they get into."

Right on cue they heard something smash out the window of the store and yell. "I"M GONNA FUCKING RIP YOUR HEAD OF YOU LITTLE CUNT!!!!" Rainbow Dash looked at Amy with smug look on her face.

"You were saying?"

"Shut up and let go see what's going on." Amy said as they enter the store. As they enter they saw Applebloom and Scootaloo holding Sweetie Belle who's fist was covered in blood. Amy looked to her right to see a beat up lavender hair color pony on the ground with a few a her teeth missing. Sitting next to the pony was what she could guess was her friend trying to protect her beaten up friend.

"LET ME GO DAMMIT SHE'S GONNA PAY FOR WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT MY SISTER!!"

"Sweetie Belle calm down." Said Scootaloo.

"We gotta get out of here before we get in trouble." Said Applebloom trying to pull Sweetie Belle away.

  Amy & RD stood there in shock at what they saw when they enter the store. So far half of the store was either set on fire, or was pretty much in ruin. The duo then turn there attention to the CMC & the two rich ponies that were on the ground. Normally if Applejack or Rarity saw this they would lecture & punish the trio for seeing this. But seeing how they could hear hoofstep coming from the distance they didn't have time to wonder what happen. So out of haste and fear Amy grabbed Applebloom & Sweetie Belle, while Rainbow Dash grabbed her sister. With a blink of an eye all five disappeared in a flash, just as they left the guards enter the store to see it in ruin along with a beaten up pony on the ground covered in her own blood. One of the guard see Amy & RD tiptoeing off in the distance carrying the CMC.

"YOU THERE HALT!!!" Yelled one of the guards. Amy & Rainbow Dash looked at each other for a slit second, nodded, and began running away from the guard yelling at them. "HEY I SAID HALT!!!"

(Few minutes of running from the law later.)

"You think we lost them?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"I think so I mean we did pretty much jump from rooftop to rooftop." Said Amy as she turned her attention towards the CMC. "So care to explain what the hell happen?"

"We had a run in with Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon." Said Scootaloo.

"Those two again?" Rainbow Dash said with a annoyed tune in her voice.

"Who's Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon?" Asked Amy.

"There two of ponyvilles richest & snobbish ponies, they think just because there rich they can do whatever they want." Rainbow Dash explained. "What did they do to cause that mess in the store?"

"Sweetie Belle attack Diamond cause she called Rarity a slut." Scootaloo said while balling up her fist. "I would sock her in the face myself for insult you sis, but Sweetie Belle stopped me before I did." Scootaloo looked up to see the expressions on both Amy & Rainbow Dashes face, to her surprise they were pretty much trying not to laugh from what they saw.

"So let me get this straight," Amy said trying not to laugh. "So when you three enter the store you bumped into Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon, they insulted your sisters, and Sweetie Belle attack her for calling Rarity a slut because?"

"They're lying!" Sweetie Belle Yelled with tears in her eyes. "Every time we bump into them they always insult us or our sisters!"

"And you beat the crap out of them right?" Asked Amy. Scootaloo nodded but Applebloom & Sweetie Belle nodded no with their heads down. "Why not?"

"Cause Applejack says they're just words and you shouldn't get all worked up about it." Applebloom answered.

"Rarity says it's unlady like to stoop to there level, and that I shouldn't fight them." Sweetie Belle Answered.

"And how long have they been bullying you three?"

"Our entire school year at Cheerlies school, we tried telling her and are sisters but they pretty much ignore it like it's nothing." Answered Applebloom. "So far the only one that's doing something is Rainbow Dash."

"Yeah and so far I'm not getting any luck with either of the three." Rainbow Dash said with a annoyed look on her face. "I mean really is being business partners more important then their siblings."

"Hm......I believe me and Selena will have to have a little talk with them later on." Said Amy patting Applebloom & Sweetie Belle on the heads.

"Really?" The trio said in unison giving Amy an adorable look that would of killed her is she a normal human being.

"Yeah it shouldn't be that hard to talk to them, and if that doesn't work." Selena appeared next to her cracking her knuckles, with a smile on her face. " Then we will knock some sense into them." Just as she said that the CMC tackled Selena and Amy to ground.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, so much." Sweetie Belle said hugging Selena. "Celestia was wrong about you, you are a good pony."

"Hehehe thanks." She said blushing at what Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah your cool, but not as cool as Rainbow Dash." Said Scootaloo.

"HA! Suck it Sun Butt!"

"Ok so the clothing was a bust," Amy said while crossing clothing store off the list. "So let's head off towards the arcade area, and see how things go from there Ok?" All five nodded in agreement. "Ok let's go." With that Selena faded back into Amy's shadow, and the group walked off towards the arcade area of Canterlot.
