It was a beautiful night at Sweet Apple Acres. It was a perfect night for stargazing, and an even better night for a sleepover. At least, that's what the CMC thought. They'd decided to sleep out in the barn by Apple blooms house, so they could think of ideas for this year's talent show. They sat in a circle with some pillows and blankets, spit-balling ideas.
"We could do a cheer rountine! Everybody likes those!", SweetieBelle suggested.
"Nah, too preppy. Plus, I hate those outfits.", retorted Scootaloo.
"What if we did a rodeo!?" Applebloom said.
SweetieBelle and Scootaloo both gave her a dead-pan look.
"Ugh! We never gonna come up with anything good in time!",said Scootaloo.
"Sure we will! We just have to find the right act!" AppleBoom said optimistically.
SweetieBelle shivers, "Brrr, Scootaloo, can you close that window?"
She sighs and gets up. "Sure."
She walks over to the open window that has a candle on the window seal. As she slams the window shut, she knocks over the candle without noticing, and it rolls away. The orange pegasus trots back over to the girls and sits.
AppleBloom thinks for a minute. "Hmm, what in the hay are we gonna do for this darn talent show?"
SweetiBelle's face lights up. "Oh! We could...oh, wait. That one backfired. Umm, what about we...no, that won't work... What if we...no, Rarity wouldn't approve. *sigh* Okay, I got nothing."
"This is hopeless!", says Scootaloo angrily.
"Aww, c'mon now! Don't be so negative.", says AppleBloom as Scootaloo rolls her eyes.
Sweetiebelle sniffs at the air. "Do you guys smell that?"
Applebloom and Scoots begin to sniff as well.
"It smells kinda like a-" Applebloom is suddenly cut off by SweetieBelle's frantic shouting.
"FIRE!!!"
They both turn turn to where SweetieBelle is pointing. In the far corner of the barn, there is a small fire growing larger by the second, engulfing anything in its path.
They instantly begin to panic.
SweetieBelle tugs on her mane. "What are we gonna do!?"
Applebloom looks all around the barn for something to put the fire out with, but just about everything in the barn is flammable.
"We gotta get outta here!" Scootaloo yells.
They all head for the doors at the front of the barn, when suddenly a giant beam from the roof collapses from the fire and blocks the door off. They stand dead in their tracks, unsure of what to do because all their exits have blocked and half the barn is engulfed in flames. They're trapped.
Applebloom then does the only thing she can do in this situation.
"HEEEEEEELP!!!"
