So apparently something disaster going on in Ponyville and ponies and creatures evacuating that area the only question is what is destroying the town and it looks like Applejack was safe by somebody I wonder who Could That Be

Anyway this looks like a pretty good start of a story

Oh wow apparently there's been a massacre down there most of the ponies and creatures got killed and apparently Applejack is the last survivor of her apple family Scootaloo lost her two best friends Applejack and Rainbow dash lost four of the best friends and everybody took refuge in Cloudsdale and soarin tried his best to help out Applejack to process what happened and Princess Luna last of her kind trying to help as much as she can I wonder how they going to live like this

Hope you enjoy seeing how they cope! 😊

I liked this chapter, now what will happen next

Are you ever going to write an adventure story that takes place in this universe?

I actually never thought of that but it’s a very interesting idea! I’ve been focused on the home front but I can see the possibilities. You’ve got me thinking , lol!

Lyra was turning a single vial round and round with her magic, as though inspecting for the tiniest imperfection. “Well, honestly, I thought there’d be more to it than that? We were just finishing dinner and she says ‘you know, maybe we should get married.’ I mean, I could have gotten that from a stallion. No offense!”

I love the symbolism of Lyra inspecting the vial! You've done a great bit of writing here!

*Loud slow clapping

You have done a wonderful job at telling a beautiful story.

Thank you!

Thank you so, so much, truly. It means a lot to me to hear. So glad you enjoyed it!

Dash’s left wing had been torn completely off, only a deep angry scratch from a fearsome claw left behind, still raw and bleeding. Dr. Spring Flight was struggling to clean the wound while Thunderlane and Fleetfoot tried to hold her down; she was fighting all three of them with wild fury. The doctor spotted her and threw down his supplies with uncharacteristic exasperation. “Applejack, if she does not let me clean and bandage this the risk of infection is extremely high. You’ve seen it happen before, you tell her!” Everyone had now turned to look at her; even Rainbow lifted her head to stare, her sides heaving, tears streaming down her face. There was a brief silence where all they could hear was Dash’s gasping breaths, and then Spitfire put her hoof through the wall, startling everypony.

Oh my God just like the other alternate universe when they were facing King Sombra when rainbow has one metal wing which it looks awesome but also kind of sad

Well it looks like things are getting a little better but still it is kind of sad they lost their homes and their families and friends and Applejack is taking her job pretty good so far and she's even living with Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo and it looks like Soarin even offer her to walk her home and their relationship starting to Blossom which a lot of ponies noticing but it looks like something happen when Soarin and rainbow Got Back from the ground it looks like rainbow got injured very severely one of her wings were torn off and Applejack had to calm her down so the doctors including Shining Armor and Lyra to help her to heal but man that's sad I wonder what's going to happen next

I was definitely inspired by the King Sombra timeline! I love the different AUs in those episodes.

10878259
I think the other ponies really enjoy watching Soarin and Applejack develop as a pair; it’s a little spot of happiness in an otherwise bleak time.

10878331
Yeah it's much it was pretty scary time of King Sombra Rainbow Dash does look really awesome but it is pretty gruesome what happened to her wing

10878485
Yeah, I do admit to having sort of a hard time making bad things happen to them, which is probably why most of the worst things happen before the story begins.

When Rainbow Dash finally alighted, with Luna and the others close behind, she marched right up to Dr. Whooves, grabbed his face and kissed him smack on the lips. Then Fleetfoot did the same, then Thunderlane, and soon the flustered Earth pony was surrounded by Wonderbolts, all gleefully kissing him and clapping him on the back. Applejack found herself standing next to the Princess.

Wow the doctor is a very lucky pony just like the tenth doctor in Doctor Who lol 😁

10878844
I know, right? Kisses from all the bolts, what a lucky pony. 😘

So it looks like Applejack keep an eye on Rainbow dash while she's recovering but both of them are pretty drain and Lyra called Applejack to go home and be with Scootaloo and soarin and it looks like she needed this and being with him as well after a few weeks recovery rainbow came home and told soarin to move in with Applejack and her and Scootaloo and then a few days the doctor gave a new metal wing for rainbow and she test drive it and it worked perfectly she thanked him for all the things he done for her but then Soarin also drop the ball by asking Applejack to marry him which she accepted and everybody are pretty happy for them it's an adorable chapter I like this I wonder what's going to happen next

Oh my gosh, thank you- I love this! What a great choice for them. Since I referred to them having a song I have been curious to know what readers thought of for them so thanks so much for sharing that.
I also like “Try Me” by James Brown for them and if Lyra and Misty had a song it would definitely be “All Night Thing” by Temple of the Dog. 😉

“No, no, Applejack,” he responded magnanimously. “You take my slice. You need it more than I do.” He reached out to rub AJ’s rounded belly fondly, as all the Wonderbolts had taken to doing since she started to show a couple months ago. It was good luck, Misty Fly had informed her. (To which Fleetfoot had added “You’re like our own walking fertility symbol!”) She rolled her eyes and grumbled good-naturedly but she understood. Few new foals were born nowadays. Hers and Soarin’s wasn’t the first, but as the foal of an Element Bearer and a Wonderbolt, it was understandably the source of a lot of hope and excitement.

Gasp no way she's going to have a kid 😃 ahhhh that's awesome 👏 I'm so happy for Applejack and soarin

10878945
No problem I've always like this song and I thought this would be a perfect one for a wedding song for them and yeah those songs are pretty good too for Lyra and Misty but I was wondering if rainbow and the doctor well hook up she kind of like him a bit after what he did for her after losing her wing

So it looks like the days or months went by after they got married but it looks like Applejack and Soarin are expecting a kid and everybody are pretty excited for them but it looks like the day finally came and the baby is born and it's a girl named Harmony that's pretty cute I wonder how they will go through guess we'll find out

So it looks like Applejack and Harmony are back home and they got a visit from Princess Luna and she still having some doubts about herself but Applejack wanted to reassure her that she's doing amazing job and what she does for the other ponies and creatures here she even talked about Rainbow Dash's situation like what happened down there and Applejack needed to talk to her because it's been eating her up for a long time and it turns out that Rainbow Dash really did try to save Rarity from those monsters and it turns out that they both have some feelings with each other but they could have give it an answer because well Rarity is gone and it's been really eating her off lately and Applejack felt bad for her but she wants to keep the memories of her friends alive for herself for rainbow and for harmony the damage has been done but they can still try to move forward and live on I wonder what's going to happen next

So it looks like things are going a little bit better for everybody Applejack even asking Lyra about Misty and she even try to ask her to marry her which she thought it would be something bigger but it looks like they had another plan apparently the Wonderbolts during performance and then Misty really asked a question while doing the tricks which that's pretty romantic to ask Lyra to marry her and she said yes and that's pretty nice and Lyra wants to reassure Rainbow that she was never upset what happened down there she was grateful that she saved her and probably lifted Rainbow Dash's guilt so it looks like Soarin wanted to retire from the Wonderbolts but he looks like he's on standby just in case if they need help but right now he wants to spend time with his family which that's pretty cool

So it looks like two years happened pass and it looks like they finally made it to the ground on this town called Rainbow Falls and Applejack finally settled the farm over there which the creatures did not attack but the question is where do they come from and what made them attacked them in the first place I guess that's another story to Tell but throughout her life things have been very good for her and for her family and I know things will be good in the brighter future well this was a pretty good story keep up the good work

Thanks, I thought “Harmony” would be a cute way for them to honor all her friends at once.

10879162
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I’m so glad you enjoyed this, that makes my day!

Rainbow Dash followed her every movement as she approached slowly, a wild look in her eyes. Applejack climbed up on the bed next to her, never breaking eye contact, and reached out her hooves. Sniveling and whimpering like a wounded animal, Rainbow Dash crawled over and curled up in a tight ball against Applejack’s chest. She put her remaining wing over her head. Applejack just lay still and held her without speaking.


I forgot to mention something when I was looking at the sentence it really tugging my heart and it shows how much they're friendship really means to each other

10879325
No problem this was a pretty good story and it's one of those rare shipping between Applejack and soarin which I read a couple of stories like that even though I still ship between rainbow and Soarin but I like this one too as well but it's still kind of question where those creatures came from

10879991
It’s a question for me too, to be honest! I did not have a super clear picture in my mind of what got them into this situation; that’s definitely a shortcoming I acknowledge. I tried to leave the door open to readdress that when I sent some of the characters off to investigate at the end. If I ever circle back to this AU I would definitely like to tackle that aspect.
As for Soarin x Applejack, they’re actually not my top ship either, lol! But I do think they’re really cute together. AJ is just my favorite pony by far; I like a lot of her “ships.”

10879989
Thanks, you are so kind. These two are definitely a team and a family.

10880016
Oh wow thats cool I mean I did read another story about Applejack shipping with thunderlane another underrated shipping which is a pretty good story

10879323
That's sweet I really like that
