"Ah´m so sorry girls! A-ah got buried in work, Applejack needed me to clean the pigs and then ah dropped some buckets and Big Mac made pick all the apples back and and..."

"Apple Bloom relax." Scootaloo said trying to ger her friend to resume her breathing. "You´re only an hour late. No big problem,"

"Oh o-okay. What have you girls done so far?"

"No much. I tried to play cards and Sweetie keeps asking me who´s cuter, Rumble or Featherweight?"

Scootaloo made an "ugh" face while Sweetie just smiled.

Then ah guess we should start...have you done the roll calling yet?"

"Its still just the three of us," Scootaloo snarky remarked while Apple Bloom went to get her cape.

"What´s that?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Wha-what´s what?"

"That," Sweetie pointed at her pockets. "Its that...a candy cane?"

Apple Bloom was sweating, her secret exposed.

“You went to Sugarcube Corner?”

“Yeah a-ah did after ah was done with the farm...”

“Oh...okay!” And they went back to the cards.

But Apple Bloom couldn´t deal with her lie and she exploded, yelling the truth. "No! Ah didn´t! Ah lied!Twist gave it to me! Ah wasn´t at the farm, ah was with Twist! Please don´t be mad at me!"

Sweetie and Scoots looked at each other confused.

"Why would be?"

"Yeah, Twist its our friend too."

"Bu-but she is not a crusaders and we made a promise to spend all our effort getting our Cutie Marks and and..."

"Apple Bloom relax!" Scootaloo replied "We´re not mad at you for spending time with Twist, silly!"

"Yeah, actually you should spent more time with her. Wasn´t she like your best friend?"

"She used too...but then ah met you two and ah guess ah got busy."

The girls smiled and invited Apple Bloom to sit down next to them. "Calm down farm girl. You´re being silly, ´sides we have fun just the two of us. Just like the old times, right Sweetie?"

"Yup!"

"Wait, yah two used to hang out together?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Yeah we were like best friends before we met you,"

"Really? And how did that happen?"

Sweetie was doing an actual effort trying to remember but Scoots remember that day very well.

"Well if you want to know..."

****

This happened just after I moved from Fillydelphia. Back then I didn´t had any friends, I didn´t knew Rainbow Dash. I didn´t even had my scooter! I was just walking around town when I ran into two fillies I regret ever meeting.

"Seriously Silver Spoon, this all your fault!"

"How is it my fault? You didn´t saw the tree either!"

"Well you have glasses so you should see better!"

"And now how are we gonna get our kite back?"

"Hey you! Yes you! Not you, mule; the pegasus colt with the purple mane!"

"I´m not a colt!" I yelled while that mule left offended.

"Haha you are not? With that voice?" Diamond mocked me.

"What´s wrong with my voice?"

"Nothing...dude!" Silver continued.

"Ugh what did you two wanted anyway?"

"You see that kite up there?" and she pointed at the top of that big tree in the park.

"...yes?"

"Well, go fly and take it back!" she ordered me.

"Why should I?"

"Because you have wings, duh!"

I should have said no but I didn´t want them to think I was a coward or something so I tried to climb the tree and of course, I failed.

"Why aren´t you using your wings?" Silver said.

"Wait, you can´t fly?" and they began laughing .

I tried to climb back and I fell again and when I tried to hover, I just crashed.

"Please I have seen chickens flying higher than you!"

*****

"...ugh. Ah guess those chickens joke must had been very hard fer you, right?"

"YES."

"...umh and then what happened, Scoots?"

"Sweetie you were there, don´t you remembe- anyways, I tried a couple of times more until they got bored...

*****

"Let´s go Silver Spoon."

"But what about the kite and the competition?"

"Forget it, I was only doing that to please Mrs. Cheerilee but I didn´t want to be in such a lame contest anyway. Lets go home. Oh and thanks for nothing pegasus!"

"See you later...dude!"

And they left laughing. I was really mad and embarrassed so I tried to get the kite one more time, only this time I felt on top of somepony.

"I´m sorry..."

"Auh...oh oh! Oh dear gentlecolt, it was my fault! Please forgive me!"

And she did this thing when she extended her hoof. "What are you doing?"

"Uh my sister told me I have to act this way if a boy bumps into me,"

"I´m not a boy!"

"Oh...then, how dare you? You could have scratch my hoof and ruin an entire day at the spa, you brute!"

"...what?"

"Umh my sister told me that if a girls bumps into me I should. act all offended and stuff.."

"Yeah yeah, just forget it." and I remember I looked up. "Stupid kite,”

"You were trying to get that kite back? I can help you!"

"...okay, how?"

"Just jump into my back and then I will push up and you would use your wings to reach it!"

"Yeah, I don´t think so,"

"Why not? We can do it! A pegasus and a unicorn team, flight and magic combined! Although I can´t use magic but you can use your flight and then..."

"I can´t use my flight! I can´t fly, okay? Are you happy now! Now leave me alone!"

And I left after yelling at Sweetie for something that wasn´t even her fault. I make a terrible first impression so imagine my surprise when she showed up at my door the next day.

"How did you find my house?"

"Oh I ask Mrs. Cheerilee about the new student and she told me it was you but that was after I asked her about the kite competition and that was after I asked my sister for help in getting the kite back but the kite was already broken so I ask my sister help in repairing it but she told that flying a kite its uncouth so I decided instead to make a new kite but that was after I talked to Mrs. Cheerilee and asked her about the kite and I told her about you and she mentioned you were a new student and am I going too fast?"

She was but I didn´t noticed because I was looking at what was on her hooves.

"So I made this new kite and I was wondering if you want to go to the competition with me,"

And then I said "You know, usually kites are simple shapes or maybe a cute animal like a butterfly. This is the first time I see an octopus kite."

"It´s not an octopus! It's an alicorn! Like the princess!"

"And why does she has eight legs?"

"She doesn´t! Those are her wings and those are...UGh I made this mistake again!"

And then I laughed.

*****

And Scootaloo kept laughing as she finished her story while Sweetie was blushing.

"So...did yah win the competition?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Are you kidding? We had an octopus as a kite!"

"It wasn´t an octopus!" Sweetie replied.

Scootaloo kept laughing, Sweetie got even redder and Apple Bloom just smiled and thought if they could get a Cutie Mark for flying kites. And more importantly, if Twist will be willing to help them make one.
