Applejack woke up the next morning, her head pounding like mad.
"W-What happened...?" she groaned, sitting up in her bed. Just then, Big Macintosh walked in.
"Oh, right, ya got drunk at your first party, Ah carried ya home," Big Macintosh said, holding in a laugh.
"I... Ah what?" Applejack asked quietly, "Ohhh Celestia, be quiet, it's like you're yelling..."
"OH YA MEAN LIKE THIS?!" Big Macintosh screamed and laughed.
Applejack groaned, threw a pillow at Big Mac, and pulled the covers over her head, "Ah hattttte youuuu..."
"Okay, but remember to wake up later, we're gonna do some apple-buckin'!" Big Mac called as he walked out of Applejack's room.
Applejack nodded and fell back asleep, well she tried before she snapped up, grabbed the alarm clock on her bedside table, and looked at it. "OH BUCKING SH-"
Big Macintosh laughed as his sister rushed out of her room and into the bathroom, next time maybe she should try not to wake up at 1:00 and get up a bit earlier.
------------
Applejack showered quickly and ran downstairs. She ran back up realizing her hair was still wet. Not wanting to get the water everywhere she quickly put her mane and tail into ponytails. She looked over at her bed and noticed a light brown, stetson hat. "It's better then nothing," she said quietly, putting the hat on her head.
She ran back downstairs and straight intro her brother.
"Glad Ah woke ya up, want some coffee? Ah made some for when ya did wake up," Big Mac chuckled.
Applejack nodded and smiled as she walked with her brother into the kitchen for some coffee. After getting a cup she sipped it and spat it out onto the ground. "ARGH! IT'S COLD!" she cried.
"That's what happens when ya don't wake up on time..." Big Macintosh snickered.
"Why are ya doing this to me?!" she yelled.
"First of all, ya didn't wake up on time. Second, Ah wanted to talk to Fluttershy some more," Big Macintosh was so glad his coat was red, able to keep his blush hidden, "An' third, its fun."
Applejack's eyes widened before she grinned, "What was that second one? Dooooooo youuuuuuu liikkkkkke Flutttttterssssshyyyyyyyy?" Applejack giggled as her brother looked down at his hooves, not speaking.
"A-Ah don't!" Big Macintosh said quietly, still glad his blush was being hidden.
Applejack smiled as she walked towards the front door, "Well I have to go see Twilight about the Summer Sun Celebration, oh and I can tell you're blushing. I'll just go tell Fluttershy youuu love her!" Applejack ran as her brother's eyes widened.
"YOU BETTER NOT SAY A THING AJ!" he yelled after her.
-----------
Applejack walked through town quickly. She noticed Rainbow Dash who was resting on a cloud. Applejack walked over to talk.
"Hey, Rainbow, do you know where Twilight lives? I need to talk to her about the Summer Sun Celebration,"
Rainbow Dash got up and stretched, "Ummmmmmm.... Ohh right right, she lives in the library tree thingy..."
Applejack sighed, "Could you be a bit more specific?" she asked.
Rainbow Dash groaned, "Here just follow me, I gotta talk to that egghead anyways, she wants me to clear the sky for the Summer Sun Celebration and stuff."
Applejack smiled as she saw the tree library. She saw Twilight reading a book through one of the windows. Applejack stood still a moment, watching how much Twilight was reading. Twilight's eyes were going back and forth like mad, taking in all the knowledge. Why wasn't she out on this day? Just sitting inside reading this book... Didn't she have friends? Applejack watched as Twilight was replaced by a filly with a mane the color of straw and an orange coat. The filly was looking down at the ground, her eyes were not moving, she was not reading, she was... Crying... The small filly was sniffling. Applejack gasped as she realized who the filly was. The filly was... her. Applejack rubbed her eyes with her hoof and looked back up. The filly was gone, Twilight sat, still reading.
Rainbow Dash looked back at Applejack who was just staring at Twilight. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened as Applejack gasped and rubbed her eyes, "Hey, AJ, you alright?" she asked flying over to Applejack.
"Ah'm.. I'm fine," Applejack sniffled and wiped her nose, where had these tears come from? "Let's just go see Twilight..."
"W-whatever you say..." Dash gulped and flew ahead.
----------
Applejack walked back to the farm alone. She had talked to Twilight for what seemed like forever. The Summer Sun Celebration was in four days and Twilight seemed worried. She had kept on mumbling about Nightmare Moon, an old pony's tale. It was about Celestia and another princess, there had once been another princess. This was what had striked Applejack as odd. In all the speeches she had seen the princess speak, whether on television or the radio, she had never heard about the other princess. Anyways, the princess became mad after everypony slept during her night and beautiful moon. Celestia banished the princess to the moon...
Applejack stopped walking, why would the princess banish somepony to the moon? It would be just so... Lonely... No friends at all. It would just be in a loop, waking up, sitting, and going back to sleep... Applejack wiped away tears, not thinking of where they had come from.
She entered the house slowly and went upstairs. Applejack flopped down on the bed and instantly fell asleep. She had an odd dream that night. Applejack was on the moon, it was lonely, there was nopony to comfort her. She had looked down at Equestria and begged to come back but nothing was working. She began to cry, why didn't they like her? Applejack then became mad. She stomped around the moon and yelled out, "I AM COMING BACK WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"
Applejack woke up drenched in sweat. She was in her bed, but something bad was coming. Something she just couldn't put her hoof on.
