Once A Crusader...

"Why don'tcha sit a spell, Apple Bloom. Big Mac'n I'll show lil' Arkansas 'round the farm." Applejack leaned in softly and whispered to her sister. "Give yah a second t'take a breather." Apple Bloom smiled. Did she look that exhausted? Arkansas watched her young mother as she was led away looking betrayed as she threw her at the wolves. Apple Bloom climbed under an apple tree and sighed, laying down on the ground. She was finally home.

"APPLE BLOOOOOOOOM!" Suddenly she found herself tackled to the ground by a speedy force. Her green orbs widened brightly as she looked up into the grinning face...of Scootaloo. 

"Scootaloo?" She gasped at the female. From behind she was scooped up by another soft figure. "Sweetie Belle?!"

"OHMIGOSH OHMIGOSH." Yes, there were her best friends. Her cutie mark crusaders. "Apple Bloom we missed you so much!"

"You did?" Apple Bloom coughed, "Wh-why?"

"WHY?! WHAT'RE YOU CRAZY!?" Scootaloo screamed, "C'mon Apple Bloom just cause you ran off with some guy doesn't mean we weren't still worried!"

"And now you're back our club is complete again!" Sweetie Belle squeaked, "Once a cutie mark crusader always a cutie mark crusader!" 

"Oh ah missed y'all so much!" Bloom cried softly, "Ah missed y'all..."

"Oh don't cry!" Scootaloo sniffed, "I'm gonna cry!"

"I'm already crying!" Sweetie Belle sobbed, "Gosh I missed you so much!"

"You gotta tell us everything," Scootaloo said, "Like EVERYTHING!"

"I brought wine!" Sweetie Belle said, producing a bottle from seemingly nowhere, "Let's drink to Apple Bloom's return!"

"Cheers!" Scootaloo laughed. Apple Bloom smiled softly. Now...she was really home.

Apple Bloom reunites with her best friends when she returns to the farm. Finally her life is mostly complete. Now if she could just get her true love back...
