Waiting on the world to change

"C'mon Sweetie Belle! We're gonna be late!" Called Scootaloo into the open window of Carousel Boutique. In response both Applebloom and Scootaloo could hear scampering of hooves on floor.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Called a frazzled Sweetie Belle as she ran out the front door. The trio began walking through Ponyville.

[Percussion] One, two, one two. One two three

"So what are we gonna do next?" Asked Scootaloo as they walked along. "There go the cutie mark crusaders again." The trio heard after they passed an elderly couple.

Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood. They say we stand for nothing and, there's no way we ever could!

"Man how I would just like ta-" Applebloom was cut off as the trio walking into the town proper with all it's shops and ponies. "What in the hay is that?" Asked Sweetie Belle as a raging buffalo suddenly burst out of the side of sugar cube corner. The three watched it go as a frazzled looking Applejack and Twilight chased after it. "Man have they got their hooves full." Chimed Scootaloo as they saw Applejack try and wrangle it. "Think we should help?" Asked Applebloom, to this Sweetie sighed. "What's the point? All we ever do is get in the way." She said dejectedly. "Hey now Sweetie don't get your tail in a knot." Said a joking Scootaloo lightening the mood considerably.

Now we see everything thats going wrong, with the world and those who lead it. Just feel like we don't have the means, to rise up and beat it!

The three continued along their way joking and jeering and just being them as they walked onwards, their destination unknown.

So we keep a waiting. [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change! We keep on waiting! [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change!

As the three continued, Applejack burst onto the path and swore. "Dagum buffalo stampeding!" She muttered as she dusted her hat off. "Sis are you sure we cain't help?" Asked Applebloom with her big pleading eyes. Applejack just gave them all a concerned stare. "Now ah appreciate yur offer but I just cain't let y'all hurt yerselves." She lied, it was obvious to all when she lied as she started looking around frantically as if there was a spy in their midst. "Well anyway I gotta go! Catch you girls later!" She called as she jumped back into the brush.

It's hard to be persistent when we're standing at a distance! So we a waiting [waiting!] Waiting on the world to change!

"Oh well, hey guys can we stop by the cemetery real quick?" Asked Scootaloo as they continued along their path. "Sure thing Scoots." Replied Applebloom putting a reassuring hoof to the filly's shoulder, Scootaloo in turn gave her a sheepish grin.

The trio proceeded onto the small cemetery on the hill overlooking Ponyville square. The normally happy-go-lucky trio had gone quiet as they made their way over to a very specific marble grave.

Here lies Motors; A mother and friend.

It read, the words carved into the marble.

Now if we had the power! To bring our neighbors home from war! They would've never missed a christmas@ No more on their door!

It had been a hard loss for the peaceful Ponyville when it was reported that Motors had been killed in a border dispute with the Zebras. Scootaloo took it the hardest since she was her daughter. She died being rushed to the hospital after they couldn't find any donors on the battlefield, Scotaloo had watched her mother pass before her very eyes, a slow death.

When ya trust your television! What ya get is what'cha got! Cuz when they own the information oh~ they can bend it all they want!

"It's just not fair!" She cried, the media had criticized the motley recruits from Ponyville after the incident. Claiming they were 'not adequately trained'. Of course it was a load of bull but the masses bought into it because it was the only explanation to why an entire village of Zebras had assaulted roughly 50 ponies.

Is why we're waiting! [Waiting] Waiting on the world to change! We keep on waiting! [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change.

The trio made their way back in a somber silence until Scootaloo jumped up. "Oh! I have an idea! We could be Cutie Mark Crusader [insert random and hilarious crusader reference here]. Happy at their friend's sudden lift of spirits, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom smiled. "That's a great idea Scoots!" Replied Applebloom with gusto. "Now how are we gonna pull that off?" Asked a more reasonable Sweetie Belle at her friend's suggestion.

It's not that we care! We just know that the fight ain't fair! So we keep on waiting! [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change.

Musical interlude.

The three friends ran back into town covered in tree sap but laughing as they reveled in their latest crusade. "You should have seen the look on your face!" Laughed Sweetie Belle as she taunted Scootaloo. "Pft hah! Like you were any better!" She leered back, at this Sweetie gave her a playful nudge.

We still waiting! [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change! We keep on waiting! [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change!


"Man, I wonder what our cutie marks are gonna be." Wondered Applebloom out loud. "Whatever they are, they're gonna rock!" Exclaimed Scootaloo detaching herself from the sticky mess she had created with Sweetie Belle. "Sure are! I hope we're gonna be super famous!" Shrieked Sweetie Belle, at this the three friends started giggling and then laughing.

One day our generation! Is gonna rule the population! So we keep on a waiting! [Waiting!] Waiting on the world to change! No we keep on waiting! [Waiting] Waiting on the world to change! We keep on waiting! [Waiting] Waiting on the world to change! Waiting on the world to change! Waiting on the world to change! Waiting on the world to change!


The three friends made their way to their individual homes, saying their goodbyes as they dropped off. Scootaloo made her way to her lonely little house at the edge of Ponyville and sighed as she climbed into bed. "Man I'm tired of waiting" She said before dropping off to sleep.
