//------------------------------// // Confession // Story: Foal's Gold // by flutterboom64 //------------------------------// I woke up with water all over my face and my whole family standing over me, with Applejack holding a bucket. COUGH! COUGH! "Applebloom! Are y'all o.k?" Applejack asked frantically looking at me to find injuries. "I'm fine," I say." Applejack picked me up and held me close. "You had us worried sick!" Granny smith scolded. "Eeyup!" Agreed Big Macintosh. "What about Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?" I asked. "They're here too?" Applejack asked. "You've got a lot of explaining to do!" yelled Applejack. "Big brother," "Eeyup?" Asked Big Macintosh. "Go get some more water." Applejack ordered. "Alright," Big Macintosh agreed before trotting off. Later that night my family sat Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and I at a table and demanded an explanation. "What in the HAY were y'all doin'?" Applejack asked angrily "I wanted to save the farm!" I blurted out. "I found a book about alchemy at the library and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo tried to help me out, needless to say, we messed up." "That's not your responsibility!" Applejack scolded. "Families are supposed to help each other!" I retorted. "Yes but fillies don't hold that type of responsibility," Applejack explained "BESIDES," started Granny Smith. "WE DON'T NEED MONEY!" "W-what?" I asked in shock. "We got loans from my friends." Applejack explained "My friends were happy to help! We just have to work extra hard this year, and YOU need to stop sneaking out. You need your rest to do well on the farm." "Yes Applejack. I'm sorry." I apologized. "Well I guess I guess Iearned my lesson." I said making my way to my room as fast as my legs could carry me. "Nope!" Said Big Macintosh stepping in the way. "No crusading for a week you three!" Granny Smith ordered. "AWWWWW!" Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and I whined in unison. "Don't worry she'll forget." I whispered to the other two crusaders. "And I"LL enforce this punishment!" Threatened applejack looking angry. Darn! "Now off to bed Apple Bloom!" Ordered applejack. "I'll walk you two home," said Applejack facing Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. "Yes Applejack" They sighed in unison. I walked upstairs and hopped into bed and went to sleep. Tonight is a night I just want to forget, I thought to myself before dozing off to sleep.
