I get the feeling that Apple Bloom can only be friends with ponies who are either on her level or inferior. Maybe Apple Bloom was only friends with Twist so she could feel better about herself? And when nerdy, lispy, awkward little Twist got the cutie mark before Bloom did, the latter's ego just couldn't take it.

It just reminds me of some girls I heard about. One girl was okay looking, but her friend was rather chubby, so the okay looking girl was considered better looking by default. When the chubby one started taking care of herself and losing weight, she began to look very pretty. Like not okay looking like her friend, but actually quite pretty. The okay looking girl hated her for it, and started trying to sabatage the pretty girl's diet and exercise regime by buying her fatty snacks and getting her to skip workouts, because she needed to have her friend be less attractive then her so she could feel good about herself. They're not friends anymore.

I guess hearing this story, and seeing the way they treat Twist is why the Cutie Mark Crusaders kind of bug me, since they seem to actually resent Twist for being socially awkward but still be doing better then them.
