Applebloom wasn't in her bed the next morning. Applejack, Babs, and all the rest of the CMC tried to find her. But she was nowhere to be found. Babs even considered asking the bullies if they kidnapped her, but AppleJack told her that would be rude. They did ask all over Manehatten, though. When they got to that filly with the cream and sky blue mane, they found out there was a sleepover- for "cool" ponies only.

   "Oh, look! It's Baby Seed and the rest of the Cutie Mark Crybabies!" she said. Babs almost felt a bit guilty, since she had used the term when she was bullying the three original CMC.

"We are only here to ask where Applebloom is!" SweetieBelle screamed, making some ponies cover their ears. Applejack had split up with some of the newer Crusaders so finding her little sister would be faster, so there was nopony to help them if they started teasing and whatnot.

   "Applebloom! We have some losers who want to see you..." The bully said with a twisted grin. First, two other ponies blocked a little filly about Applebloom's size. They slowly moved out of the way, which made the pony comment "Be faster next time!" The filly had sparkling orange eyes, and she was wearing mascara and eyeshadow. She had a red, styled mane that was braided in the back, and the bangs were curled inwards. Her cream coat was professionally groomed, and her cutie mark was a pony laughing, who was also wearing a crown.

  "Woah....I mean, this is not Applebloom?!" Scootaloo said, unsure about it herself.

"I assure you, this is most definetely me." AppleBloom(?) said. She had more of a Canterlot accent than a Manehatten one, and her vocabulary has certainly grown.

"No, no, no, the real Applebloom would never join the bullies side! Or get a cutie mark for being one.....!" Babs started to trail a bit, realizing she was lying to herself. The filly just giggled.

"What's wrong, Babs, didn't you used to bully me, also?" She said.

  Babs heart beat had stopped for a moment, as she knew this actually was Applebloom. She opened her mouth to say something, but the bully just interrupted.

"Aanyways, we are really too busy to have a longer conversation with some crybabies, and we need to get back to our sleepover- which is two nights, of course- so why don't you just get back to your little loser stuff. Isn't that right, AB?"  The filly giggled before Applebloom answered.

"Sure as sug- T-that's right, Cloudy!" She responded. That's weird... Babs thought. She almost sounded like herself.... A split second before Cloudy closed the door, she could have sworn AppleBloom mouthed the words "Help. Me."
