"Wait, what!?" Brownie did a double take. "But it was just, how did it, it did a trick on me!" "That it did, Brownie," Apple Bloom said, trying her darnedest not to crack up. "Just like Trixie." "Who's Trixie?" Babs scratched her chin. "You don't want to know," Apple Bloom replied. "Trust me, Babs."

Apple Bloom chuckled at Reece as she checked her flanks. "Aren't you an eager beaver? If we can't make somepony fall in love, some of us should try instead." "How about we try something else for now?" Brownie asked, hoping none of the other fillies would pick up on Reece's suggestion. "Like, uh, baseball?"

"Well, we ain't gonna know unless we try!" Apple Bloom proclaimed. "Yeah," Brownie agreed. "But we're a completely different group in Manehattan." "And we've only been crusading for the past few months," Babs admitted. "There's gotta be something neither of us have tried." "Chimney sweeps?" Sundae suggested out of the blue. "There's somethin' we can try." Apple Bloom nodded. "Our chimneys in Ponyville do get messy." "Trapeze artists?" Brownie asked. "We haven't done that either. Keep 'em comin'!" "Shepherds!" Babs yelled. "That's three off the bat!" Apple Bloom beamed and turned to the rest of the group. "Anythin' else?"

Yum! IKEA Swedish Meatballs.

"Yeah," Brownie agreed with One Way. "Revenge only makes things worse." "I'd only get back at someone who really deserved it." Sundae said. "I learned my lesson," Apple Bloom told them, remembering how badly her first encounter with Babs Seed went. "It's okay, cousin," Babs took her hoof. "You didn't know."

@@Moonbacon, @, So far, Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie and Babs Seed are the taken canon characters. We don't have anyone playing Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon. Scootaloo is tentatively being played by Storm Shine.

I'm fine with however you want to take of it.

@@Rainbow Eclipse, @@Blitz Boom, @, @, "There's Poison Joke here, too!?" Brownie gasped. "Only out in the Everfree Forest," Apple Bloom told him. "Don't worry, as long as you don't go out too far, I wouldn't worry about touchin' it." "We don't have any of that out in Manehattan." Babs shook her head. Meanwhile Sundae joined Blitz in talking with One Way. "Isn't flying in the state you're in dangerous?" she asked him. "How do you know not to crash?"

Brownie and Sundae just looked at each other and shrugged at all this plot talk. Perhaps it was one of the things their parents told them they would understand when they get older. At the same time, they felt sorry for One Way and approached the poor wide-flanked colt. "Here, One Way." Sundae dug in her saddlebag. "Have one of our mom's cookies if it makes you feel better."

My alarm clock. I'm in bed right now and I can't reach it.

@, "A zebra!" Brownie and Sundae squealed together. "We've never met a zebra before," Brownie said. "Does Zecora really speak in rhyme?" Sundae wanted to know. @, "Yikes!" Babs exclaimed. "I never would have guessed you were blind, One Way." "No wonder you couldn't see our gift," Apple Bloom said, noticing One Way's flanks. "Or where you're sittin' for that matter."

@, @@Rainbow Eclipse, @@Blitz Boom, @, "You made this?" Apple Bloom's eyes gleamed. "For us? Wow!" "It shows how big an impact you have on foals just like us," Babs reminded her. "That's right." Apple Bloom nodded. "The three of us are tighter than bark on an apple tree. And I'm sure the rest of the foals will be, too." "We haven't done a lot of traveling, outside of Manehattan and Bucklyn," Sundae said. "We have some family east of us in Long Bridleland, though," Brownie added. "I don't know if any of them are Apples, though."

@@Rainbow Eclipse, @@Blitz Boom, @@Rainbow Eclipse, @, "Well, let's do what he came here for!" Babs suggested, waving the rest of the foals forward. "All right, everypony," Apple Bloom said as the rest of the foals gathered around in a circle. "Why don't we start this meetin' with some brainstormin'. Just so we don't try to duplicate any ideas, what have y'all done over in Manehattan, Babs?" "We've done our fair share," Babs recalled. "From miniature golf to soap box derby racing, nothing. Maybe we should ask around and see if there's something none of us have tried."

@@Gloomfury, Refund savored his whiskey, letting the booze slowly take control of his vocal chords. "Yeah, well, here's the thing. If it's 50-50 as you say, then the benefits should even everything out. I've been in accounting for fifteen years, I know how owner's stakes should work. Of course for clearing the building, Ennex has a few benefits lined up for me, too, but I don't ask for much in return." @@Rainbow Eclipse, Ruby cleared her throat. "That's Mrs. Bloodthirsty. I happen to be married, you know. It's just your ability to fight back has impressed me so. I also do happen get caught up in quite a few moments." She paused and turned her head at her husband who had just finished his whiskey and was laughing it up with Malachi. "Like some ponies I know."

@@Blitz Boom, It's fine. When I saw "Apple Bloom's cousin" instead of "Babs Seed" I knew I'd done something fishy.

@, @, @@Blitz Boom, @@Rainbow Eclipse, "It sure is," Babs told One Way. "My cousin and her friends got the word out to all of Equestria." "Howdy!" Apple Bloom firmly shook One Way's hoof. "The name's Apple Bloom! It's a pleasure to have you aboard! Say hi to my cousin, Babs and her Manehattan friends Reece, Brownie Chip and Sundae Shake." "Pleased to meet you!" Brownie and Sundae greeted One Way in unison. "And this here is Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo," Apple Bloom said, gesturing to her crusader friends. "We're all here in search of our cutie marks, too," Babs said, slitting her eyes toward Brownie who grinned with embarrassment. Sundae trotted over to Reece and looked at his work of art. "So, you painted this? It looks so cute! You and your family must be so close."

4. Horn.

@@Gloomfury, "Ah, whiskey," Refund said as he raised his glass. "I'm a martini stallion myself but you sure can't go wrong with the straight liquor." He sipped his whiskey, the buzz already drowned out from the martini he had before. "So, you're a partner. What kind of ownership ratio are we talking?" @@nx9100, @@Rainbow Eclipse, "Too bad," Ruby told Anala, noticing her cutie mark. "I would have loved to see you use him as an archery target. Sometimes I wish my talent would help me save my life. Manedressing isn't really that useful if a mugger's after you. I do keep a bottle of mane spray for emergencies, though."

@, @@Blitz Boom, @@Rainbow Eclipse, "Oh!" Babs facehoofed. "What's wrong with me? I was wondering why you called me Apple's cousin. My name's Babs Seed. I run the Manehattan branch of the Cutie Mark Crusaders." "Brownie and I are members, too," Sundae told Blitz. "Too bad some of us couldn't make the trip." Brownie was already ogling at Storm's crate of GameColt games. That sure is a huge collection, he thought to himself before turning back to Blitz. His shyness returned as Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle joined in the conversation as well. "I'm also wondering what'll happen," Brownie addressed the fillies, trying to keep his cool. "Who knows what kind of beauty marks, uh I mean duty marks. No, mutie carks, uh-uh Kootie Pies, putie, uh-I, oh, you-uh..." Apple Bloom chuckled at the red-muzzled Brownie fumbling over his words who eventually hid his face. "He gets this way whenever he meets new fillies," Sundae whispered to Apple Bloom.

@, You can jump in whenever you want. We're in Ponyville now.

@@Mand'alor Dash, I appreciate it. Thanks!

@@Mand'alor Dash, More of dexterity.

@@Mand'alor Dash, Sorry. He's skilled in designing things, gadgets and physics since he's a ride operator. As for combat, he's physically weak when it comes to fighting. If he was in a fistfight with someone even half his age, he'd probably lose.

I'm developing him as I go. His demeanor is the same with the exception of skewed values for the time period. Strengths: Fearless and manipulative. Weaknesses: Full of himself and not very good at combat. Occupation: Ride operator at Poney Island. Beliefs: He thinks pegasi are better than everypony else.
