Oh great. Just great! You look like you're doing great too. Obviously don't need the help of another good friend![gets out an old looking doll] This, is Smarty Pants; she was mine I when I was your age, and now I want to give it to you!
To the citizens of Ponyville. For some time now, you've been reading this column to get the latest dirt and the hottest buzz. But this will be my final piece. We want to apologize for the pain and embarrassment we've caused.
You see, I'm actually three little fillies: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
[Rainbow Dash kicks the raincloud away]
Scootaloo
As the popularity of our column grew, we got swept up in the hype. We knew that what we were doing didn't feel quite right, but we ignored the guilt because every pony seemed to want to read what we were writing.
And we figured out you were just doing it to avoid getting picked on in Ponyville. But by then... we were the ones being bullies, and... Oh, why does life have to be so ironic?!
[reading] We, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, elect Babs Seed to join us as a sister, friend, [unsurely] confidant, ally, bosom buddy, gal pal, comforter, chum'o'chums...
...Homegirl, Amigo, blah blah blah blah blah... Oh, yes, here. ...and fellow Cutie Mark Crusader! You are solemnly sworn in, here this day, in witness of your fellow sisters, friends, confidants, bosom buddies, compadres...
Scootaloo
[interrupts] Congratulations! [quickly, under her breath] Gotta remember to revise that.
Okay, maybe it's the second best story you've ever heard. But it's also one of the scariest. You like scary stories, don't you? It all happened on a night just like this one, in a forest, just like this...
[confessing] I'm so, so sorry Rainbow Dash. I just wanted you to hang out with me and see how cool I was so you'd take me under your wing and teach me everything you know and become like my big sister. But then you started telling all those spooky stories, and I got scared! [upset] I thought I heard the Headless Horse so I ran out here by myself, and... [cries for a moment] I guess you know all the rest.
Hey, I'm gonna tell you something, but, if you ever tell anypony else, I'm gonna deny it. First time I heard those stories... [looks around] I was scared too.
Sure! I mean, I got over it because I realized, pretty quick, that if there was such thing as a Headless Horse, I could totally take it on. So, you're looking for somepony to take you under their wing, huh?
