//------------------------------// // Apple Family Photo // Story: The Tear of an Apple // by Secondhand Brony //------------------------------// Applejack was Apple bucking doing her normal thing on a Sunday with a sky filled with sunlight. "I think I deserve a break for now I'll take a quick peep at the family album." Applejack thought to herself. She took a walk to the house but was greeted by Big Mac. "What ya doing sis?" Big Mac asked. "Just taking a look at the ol' album." Applejack replied. Applejack grabbed the photo album off the counter.She sat on the couch flipping through the album.She flipped to a picture she'd never seen before. The picture had writing on it as AJ read in her her the picture said,'To AppleBloosom and Big Jack Have a happy life together.' AppleBlossom had a purplish pink coat and a hot pink Big Jack had a dark blue coat and a teal mane. Applejack felt her eyes water as she remembered when her parents held her when she was only a 8 month old foal. Applejack galloped full speed trying to hide that she was crying. "Whats gottin in ta Applejack Granny?" AppleBloom asked curiosly. "Ah don't know whats gottin to that young mares mind." Granny Smith answered. _ _ _ _ _ _ RainbowDash had an assignment to clear the clouds above the mountain. "HUGH!", "Why do I have to be a pegasus?" Rainbow asked herself. Rainbow agreed that she had to clear the clouds so she flew to them she noticed a orange blur, so she flew closer to the blur she noticed it was Applejack, but Applejack was different she had her hair down and she was crying as she walked down the dirt road and it was pouring hard rain. "Whats wrong AJ?" Rainbow asked softly. A moment of complete silence broke out. Finally Applejack spoke up she said," Mah, Mah parents." Applejack slowly studerred while sobbing. "Your gonna have to tell me more if I'm gonna help my number one best friend." Rainbow kindly demanded. "Ah thought Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie was your best friend the way ya been treatin 'em." Applejack replied as if was a question. "AJ your the best pony in Equestria even I think your 20% more cooler than me your honest, hard working, loyal, and kind and at all cost you risk everything to save anypony." Rainbow came to her relief. "And plus remember the time where you refused to come back to Ponyville I was determined to make you come back and that other time where those retarded Flim Flam brothers came into town and tried to run you outta town I thought to myself when you were leaving and crying 'Applejack please don't go stay'." Rainbow explained. "Well since ya wanna know such much I'll tell ya." Applejack said. "My parents died when they ah was 8 months old and the only think I remember is how they look." Applejack explained as tears flowed down her eyes. "Its ok AJ." Rainbow said as she embraced her best friend with a hug Applejack, she finally let go. AJ I don't have any experience of losing my parents, but just forget about the past always remember your parents and think about the positive things. "And AJ the only pony I wanna cry in front of is you, 'cause I know you won't tell anypony and you'll cheer me up." Rainbow whispered. "Okay Rainbow thank ya fa tha info." Applejack thanked. "Your welcome AJ, I gotta clear these clouds so see you soon." Rainbow said. Applejack started walk back to the barn thinking about what RD had said.
