The Train Family

by QueenOfTheSilence


The Criminal

Note: The next few chapters will have Applejack and Herbert but I decided to introduce Appletrain by herself in her own chapter.

Appletrain hated Math. Appletrain hated English. Appletrain pretty much hated every school subject. Why? Because it was pointless in her mind. Appletrain, who was only ten years old, already had her mind set on being a train like her father. Well she was a train, half of one actually, but she wanted to carry cargo and passengers all over Equestria in her caboose even if she could barely only fit something the size of a cat inside of it. Appletrain stopped briefly and wondered if the start of this fic could be considered sexual and there for illegal as she was a young foal however she dismissed it, as she remembered she did not in fact have any...err parts. Or technically a gender, however the Author was clearly too lazy to change the words: She, Her, to it or whatever.

Anyway, Appletrain knew she did not need math to be a train. Her father didn't know math, not did he know science or anything else really. That's why, as she stood in front of her desk and stared blankly into space, she was annoyed as she had just been forced to finish an entire page of math problems. After school. She had also been forced to stay another half an hour as a result of having not completed her homework. Again.

“Can I go now Ms. Cherilee?” asked the young abomination, to her teacher who was the only person left in the school house, since the other foals had went home over an hour ago. Cherilee glances up from her students work that she had been grading and motioned for the young hybrid to come forward.

“Do you know why I kept you after school?” asked the middle aged school teacher, taking of her dark red glasses and setting them down on her desk so she could rub her eyes with her hooves.

“Because I didn't do my homework?” replied Appletrain, half asking, half stating. Cherilee shook her head.

“Nah because I need you to take this pile of “books” over to Super Waifu Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle's Castle and I'm just too lazy to do it myself. Plus you got that thing going on back there...so...yeah.”

“I don't remember books looking like a dozen bags of white powder....”

Three Hours Later

“Do you know why we arrested you, little filly?” The light shone bright in Appletrain's eyes, as she sat behind a large, metal desk, her hooves handcuffed to either sides of the table. Across from her sat an old, male, balding Unicorn who was wearing what was clearly a City Guard uniform.

“Because I was carrying Cocaine in my caboose?” guessed Appletrain. The stallion shook his head and sighed dramatically.

“The coke? Nah, we don't care about that. How about the fact that you were carrying around some Kinder Surprise eggs in your caboose?” stated the stallion, reaching to his side and revealing a bag of what appeared to be egg shaped objects which were covered in foil and read: Kinder Surprises! On the front.”

“I got arrested over the treats my mom put into my bag for a snack? Seriously? Not the drug money? Or the fact that I was an accessory to murder by burning that body for Twilight? Because of some stupid chocolate eggs?!?!?” screamed Appletrain, slamming her hooves down on the table.
“Not just Chocolate Eggs! These things contain a mini toy inside that little foals can choke on and they're illegal here in the United States!” screamed the stallion back.

“FML......Wait, this is Equestria!” stated Appletrain, who was now confused.

“This is an American show though” replied the stallion, looking at the young mare in disgust. “You're going straight off to prison, we aren't going to bother going to trial with you, the judge has already approved a twenty to life prison conviction for you. And it's not Juvenile Detention either. You get to go to adult jail. Because thats where disgusting child abusers like you deserve to go!”

Appletrain was sent to the edge of Equestria, to it's most secure and highest level prison. When she arrived, the guards who had already read over her file looked at her in disgust and immediately placed her in a cell with one of the most violent criminals in the prison. The cell was small with a bunk bed, a toilet and a nightstand table. On the top bunk was an older mare who was covered in scars and was twirling a shiv between her hooves. She glanced at Appletrain and gave her a once over.

“What are you in for?” asked Appletrain as she looked around the cell for some sort of escape.

“Murdering half a dozen people, for no real reason other than sadistic pleasure. You?”

“.....I was caught with Kinder Surprise eggs. You know the chocolate eggs in foil that have a toy inside?”

“....You're one disgusting fucking little kid. Absolutely disgusting. You're the scum of the earth kid, scum. Nobody could commit a crime worse.”

Appletrain hated her life.
