This story is a sequel to Railway Adventure
Babs Seed has been having a rough time in New York, so her mother decides that the best thing for her daughter is a change of scenery, and sends her to stay with her cousin for Thanksgiving. Whilst there, Babs will go on a journey of self-discovery, and learn that somebody always loves you.
Inspired by 'One Bad Apple', and takes place during my EG continuity between Railway Adventure Chapter 7 and Anon-a-Miss.
Rated teen for bullying subtheme.
Chapters (9)
I wonder why nobody's commented?

No worries about the comments. They'll come at their time.
In a note apart, I'm looking foward to ser where this plot is going.

You'll enjoy it. Two more updates coming today, so stay tuned!

As I believe I've commented, I've always found Babs Seed a fascinating character. I felt that it rewarded a proper character study of her personality. I've noticed most authors tend to focus on her having either a tough girl attitude, or one of complete indiferrence. So I wanted to show her softer, more vulnerable side, similar to this story here: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/157504/consequences-a-bad-apple-comedy-of-justice.
So reading this chapter, I wonder if Cozy Glow will be different in here rather than what we saw in her pony counterpart?

First, thanks for the comment. Second, this story takes place in my wider EG universe. I will be uploading a full chronology thus far tomorrow. Whilst reading Railway Adventure is not compulsory, I would personally reccomend it. As for Cozy, well...wait and see.
I love that artwork of Babs, so seeing it attached to a story drew me in. Enjoying it so far!
Though with the way I write Babs and Uncle Orange's relationship, let me just say that seeing her curse at him was more cathartic than it should have been.

Glad to here it! When you do finish it, please tell me what you liked, disliked, or what could have worked better,
I get the impression from One Bad Apple that Babs' family life is dysfunctional, and I thought parents who didn't take bullying seriously would make for an interesting clash of personalities.
Dang.... that ending to the first chapter though....
9325034
What did you think of it?
9325037
Well.... it did end the 1st chapter on a sad note though....
9325044
I know. I'd always wondered what Babs' family life was like back in Manhattan, and I imagine it was pretty bad.
9325052
Okie =(
9325058
I mean, she did turn out pretty bad...
9325060
True
9325072
Yup. Got any further yet?
Good Chapter, Good chapter =3
9326738
Thanks. Anything you particularly liked?
What's with the video? If you are worried about the lyrics of jingle bells getting you in trouble. I wouldn't worry too much since the song is in the public domain.
9327607
I wasn't aware at the time.
9327607
What do you think of the story?
9327565
Hmmm.... I love the part where Babs meets the Apple Family X3
9327639
Thanks man. Those sorts of interactions, especially culture shocks, are always fun to write.
9327660
Your welcome =3
9327686
As ever, I appreciate it.

Looked at the next chapter yet, or are you saving that for this evening? I am aware it's only 10:10 where you are...
9328023
Heh, you are so spot on =3
But yeah, I will get my comment of the next chapter up once after I have checked things on my laptop :)
9328027
I've got two stories up today. Not sure if the other one's to your taste though...

-sees the Oranges in the chapter-
Heh, one thing to note is that I'm currently working my way through reading a AU Series in which Aunt Orange is an Element Bearer =3
9328729
I see. Well, they sit in the background here. I'd suggest reading Railway Adventure, or else some of the references in this chapter wouldn't make much sense.
What did you think of me sticking Welsh Narrow Gauge into the story?
9328735
Okie =3
Pretty cool :3
9328742
I'll PM you the other two stories in this series (so far) in a moment.
9328754

9328770
They should be with you now.

I will admit: I LOVE that rock remix of Hearts Strong as Horses! <3
9330939
Thanks. I tried to include quite a few different songs for variety. And we couldn't have a story about the show's resident New Yorker without some Billy Joel, eh?
What do you think of Best Pony?
9330945
Your welcome =3
Pretty cool X3
I liked pretty much from begining to the end. Congratulations for such a cute story!
9331343
Thanks man. Let's face it, Babs needs more love!
Any bits you particularly liked, or thought could have worked better?
Oh dear.... this can't be good O_O
9332911
A partial nod to Django Unchained. What did you think of the nightmare and emotional scene?
9332920
One word: Whoa..... O_O
9332938
OK then. Next one's a bit messy
