Apple Jack was nearly at the Boutique, she needed to talk about the issue the day before. They needed to fix this not only for Rarity's sister, but for her sister as well.

Apple Jack arrived and knocked the front door to the Boutique. A couple seconds later, Rarity opened the door.

"I thought I would hear from you again. (Sigh) This is about last night, isn't it?"

"Yup."

Rarity stepped aside. "Come in."

Apple Jack walked inside and started to pace around. Rarity closed the door and watched her friend.

"We can't just let this go Rarity. Not only your sister, but mine as well, are involved with this. Even that other filly, Scootaloo. We can't just stand by and let this happen. We have to go to their parents, or-or Cheerilee, sumthin!-"

"I know Apple Jack. But as much as I would love to, Sweetie Belle hasn't nor will tell me anything about this. And if I don't know what's going on. HOW am I supposed to help her."

"(Sigh) Ah know what ya mean. Apple Bloom has kept her mouth shut too. And every time I try to talk to her she just changes the subject, or ignores me. I don't want to force her to tell me, but at the same time, I want to help her."

"(Sigh) I just wish there was something we could do!" Rarity whined.

"Hmm, maybe we can't go to Spike about this, but how about Twilight? Ah mean, if Spike was involved with this as well, maybe Twilight knows about it, and she already has the answer."

"Maybe you're right. How about we go to Twlight's and ask?"

"Sure. I'm ready."

"Alright, let me just get some things-"

"Is it clothes?"

"Why yes it is-"

"No time. Come on."

Rarity gave a Canterlot gasp, and followed Apple Jack angrily.

After a couple of minutes of walking through Ponyville. Rarity looked to the right to see the public park. She raised an eyebrow and looked to Apple Jack. "Apple Jack, look."

"What?" Apple Jack looked to the park Rarity was pointing at.

"Doesn't the park seem... empty to you?"

"Sure does. And it's about four PM isn't it?"

"Hmm, odd."

Rarity and Apple Jack walked for a couple more minutes and finally arrived at the Golden Oaks Library. Apple Jack knocked the door and Twilight opened up.

"Hey girls. What's happening?"

"Twi, we need to talk." Apple Jack said.

"What happened this time..."

"Can we come in?"

"Yeah sure!" Twilight stepped aside and let Rarity and Apple Jack stepped in.

"Is uh... Spike here?"

"No, he went out to do something. Probably for his date with Sweetie Belle." Twilight started to giggle. "That's cute."

"Now is not the time for that Twilight." Rarity said. "We need to discuss something."

"Okay, let's sit down."

Apple Jack and Rarity followed Twilight and sat down at their respective seats.

"Okay, explain to me what happened."

"You want ta go first Rarity? It is your Sister mostly."

"(Sigh) If I must. Twilight, apparently last night my sister Sweetie Belle cried herself to sleep, because of some hooligans."

"Oh my gosh! What happened?"

"That's just the problem. Sweetie Belle wont tell me anything. She seems so secretive, and the number one thing she doesn't want right now is Spike to know. I guess she doesn't want Spike to do anything too harsh."

"How about we tell Spike then? She doesn't know that I know, and I doubt Spike will hurt these ponies. Who are these ponies anyways?"

"Ah think it's some fillies." Apple Jack replied. "You know, bullies?"

Twilight scratched her head. "Not that I'm mad or anything, but, why ask me for help?"

"We figured since Spike is somehow involved with this, you would know something."

"Spike never mentioned this... I honestly have no idea what to do than to either tell Spike, or force Sweetie Belle to talk. But I know that's what we don't want."

"Well if you get anything, be sure to let us know." Apple Jack said.

Rarity and Apple Jack got up from their seats.

"You got it." Twilight walked them to the door.

"Hey! What's going on?"

Scootaloo, being the only one hearing the voice, looked up. "R-Rainbow Dash?"

Apple Bloom continued arguing with the two bullies as Rainbow landed.

"Heya squirt." Rainbow Dash ruffled Scootaloo's mane. "What's up?"

"Rainbow Dash! You need to help! Those two fillies yelling at back at Apple Bloom are making Sweetie Belle cry!"

Rainbow Dash gasped as she had a flash back of Fluttershy and Gilda being bullied by Dumb-Bell and Hoops.

Sweetie Belle was just sitting quietly on the merry-go-round, looking down.

Rainbow grunted and made her way to the three other fillies.

"Rainbow Dash?" Apple Bloom noticed.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Rainbow Dash. How very nice of you and your jaw to join us." Diamond Tiara said mockingly.

"What?"

"Oh I know you. The, "incredible" Rainbow Dash; fast Pegasis, Element of Loyalty, Scootaloo's idle, wonderbolt wannabe-"

"So you know who I am? That just shows how popular I am."

"That just shows how consistent you are."

"Oh! You did not just go there!"

Apple Jack and Rarity were strolling through the streets of Ponyville, when they came across the park once again. This time however, was more intense than last time.

Rarity gasped when she saw her poor sister sitting on the merry-go-round looking sad. She started to trot over to her.

Apple Jack decided to walk over to Apple Bloom. "Hey sis, what's going on here."

"Apple Jack, those are the two fillies who were hurting Sweetie Belle." Apple Bloom pointed to the mentioned.

"And what's Rainbow doin'?"

"She just showed up and started to talk to them. But I think she's losing it."

"Hello Sweetie." Rarity cooed.

Sweetie Belle didn't respond.

Rarity looked to where the others were. "You have some great friends, they'll always be there for you."

"I know." Sweetie Belle said softly.

"You're just another one of those stupid Pegasi, who dream too big. Just admit it, you're NEVER gonna become a Wonderbolt."

"What did you just say to me?!"

"I said to admit; that your lazy flank and yourself will NEVER become a Wonderbolt."

"THAT'S IT! I'M GONNA TEACH YOU A LESSON, COME HERE YOU FU-"

"COOL IT, Dash. They're just fillies." Apple Jack put a hoof to Rainbow's mouth just in time. "Now, I don't know what's gotten into you two but you must behave. Hear me?"

"Hmph. Apple Jack; pathetic, poor, farm pony. I could just use my money and, POOF! Your business is mine."

Apple Jack gasped. "Respect your elders youngin'."

"Maybe they're right Tiara." Silver Spoon whispered.

"I don't want to argue with fillies like y'all. So we'll be leavin' now."

"I thought you were tough?"

"If only yer weren't fillies, then I'd teach you a lesson." Apple Jack murmured to herself.

Apple Jack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow, and Scootaloo all started to leave.

"Running away?"

"Why, you!" Rainbow turned around, ready to pounce the filly.

"Dash!" Apple Jack called out.

Rainbow stopped herself and turned back.

They all continued to walk away from the two bullies, and towards Rarity and Sweetie Belle sitting on the merry-go-round.

"...I had one of these when I used to go to school. Got hurt once but-"

"Rarity? Ya ready to leave?"

"Uh, yes! Let's go!"

"Wait! I uh, have to meet up with Spike." Sweetie Belle said.

"Oh yes! Go on dear."

Sweetie Belle started to trot away.

"Be back before it get's too dark! Okay?"

"Okay!" Sweetie called back.

"Alright, let's go." Next Chapter: The Date Estimated time remaining: 38 Minutes
