After an argument with Applejack leaves Applebloom in tears, Big Macintosh goes outside to blow off some steam in the best way he knows: by blowing bubbles with Smarty Pants. As he does, he starts to ponder the meaning of life...and his own self-worth.

That was very, very sweet! Bravo!
Well done!
I really enjoyed Mac. You did a wonderful writing of him.

That was good, I liked it.

The bubble-blowing thing inevitably reminds me of Digimon Adventure 02. :ajsleepy:

Anyway, this was a really sweet story. Short, but to the point.

That's the way it is in a family; you tick each other off and then forgive each other once you remember what makes it all worthwhile.

With the Drama and Sad tags, I was afraid this was going to also have a dark ending, but I was pleasantly surprised. This was nice.

Beautiful story, makes me want o go txt my sibs, excellent job.

I picked this up at random while listening to some jazz outside. Somehow, it fit ever so well. I really enjoyed this, great job! :twilightsmile:

Glad to help!

I absolutely loved how the drama was kept to a, ahem, "dramatic" minimum but just enough to set the plot in motion. It had the perfect mix of sad and slice of life, like an apple pie perfectly sweetened and spiced. I especially enjoyed the imagery of the parent's death, the conflict between AppleBloom and BigMac even though it was kept short and especially BigMac speaking to SmartyPants.

Everything here was at a perfect pace, perfect setting and the plot was beyond my-wildest-expectations-amazing.

I really liked that. It was sweet, and I think you have a definite feel for all three Apple siblings (who are definitely some of my favorite characters, when written well).

And as for a bubble-blowing contest, I think we all know who the real winner would be:
