-Apple Bloom’s Point of View-
When I saw Spike, my stomach sort of flipped and butterflies flew around it. I couldn’t bring myself to look in his eyes or I’d probably do something I’d regret.
So I looked at the sky. The fluffy clouds and the leaves of the trees were reaching for the sun. I started to drift away, to a world I knew better than reality.
But of course, I’d be pulled away. “Apple Bloom… You sure you’re okay?” Spike asked with worry etched on his face. “Yep…”
I helped Sweetie-Bell up while Spike did the same with Scootaloo.
After I recovered I tried to tame my feelings. “So… Uh… Why are you here Spike?” I asked staring at the space just about his spikes. His spikes where practically perfect, when the sun behind me fell on his spikes, they shone. “Oh, uh, Twilight wanted this to get to AJ a.s.a.p.” He said slightly more slowly than usual.
He sure was acting abnormal. He passed me the letter and I put it on the ground for a moment. “I’ll get that to her right now!” I smiled at the two ponies who where staring at me. Then I looked into Spike’s eyes. “Goodbye Spike, See ya later!” I then glanced at the two fillies and nodded to them each in turn.
They understood what I meant. I picked up the letter and trotted past the three and into the fields. As soon as I was out of eyesight, my mind started to comprehend what had just happened. I got angry with myself. I mean why did you act so shy? I’ve known him forever! But then again… He’s Spike! How can a pony not be shy around Spike? It’s impossible!

I looked at Apple Bloom trot away towards the fields and you wouldn’t believe how hard it was to not run after her. I turned my head towards the other two fillies and smiled brightly towards them. They were unusually quiet…
“Um, is, uh, everything okay?” I asked quizzically and they snapped out of… What ever they were in. “Yeah, uh, we’re fine thanks!” Sweetie-Bell said brightly.
“Just thinking about something…” Scootaloo said holding in a giggle. I raised my eyebrow for a second but then I started to turn. “Well… I better get back to Twilight, Bye!” I said and then began to walk off towards The Castle. When I was out of vision and earshot. I began dancing down the path in glee.
No pony knew it yet… But I knew just what to do.

I trotted up to AJ and tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around quickly and smiled at me. I handed her the Envelope and sat down next to her as she began to open it. She scanned the envelope and beamed at Apple Bloom.
I jumped up in excitement. “Don’t tell me it is…” I said with a large grin on my face, larger than any one Pinkie could muster. “It is!!” AJ said jumping up and down.
“I can’t believe you got invited to the Festival of Starswirl the Bearded!” I screamed in excitement. AJ couldn’t contain her happiness and a bit streamed out of her eyes and on her cheeks.
I slowly flew down from cloud 9 and sat on my flank. “Maybe… Maybe you could go to the spot Mum and Dad met.” I said hopefully at AJ. She looked down at me and sat down next to me.
We sighed as we thought of our parents. I don’t remember anything accept from things AJ, Big Mac and Granny Smith told me. I leant against AJ. “When you get there, got to the place were our parents met and write a full letter describing it. Okay?” I whispered.
“Got it.” AJ whispered. We sat there for a full 4.8 minutes until AJ got practically bounced up onto four hooves. “Back to work I go!” She said.
I trotted towards the house but when Apple Jack couldn’t see me anymore, I galloped towards Fluttershy’s cottage.
I needed answers… And I needed them now.
