Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh have left Sweet Apple Acres and have moved on in life. Applejack is struggling with Granny Smith to keep the dream of keeping Sweet Apple Acres running. However, problems do arise and Applejack has to adapt and find a way to continue her dreams.

When a tragic fire destroys everything an orange earth pony holds dear, she finds that not even friendship may be enough to comfort her. When a certain cyan pegasus shows her much more, will she be able to piece her life back together? And is her best friend hiding something else from her, something that could tear everything they have apart?

A short trip to Canterlot with Rainbow Dash and Applejack is the perfect opportunity for Twilight to test out her new long-distance Teleportation spell. But a nasty cold dashes the hopes of a quick trip, and makes the spell disappear in smoke: instead of arriving in Canterlot, the three find themselves in the nearby Everfree Forest, and discover that their location is not the only thing that went wrong.

While Rainbow has exchanged her wings and tail for a straw blond tail, Applejack has acquired a rainbow tail as well as a pair of strong, blue wings.

While Twilight attempts to find a spell to return the body parts to their rightful owners, the others must attempt to deal with this situation... and with their changing feelings.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash head into the Everfree forest to visit Zecora. They get sidetracked along the way and end up deeper in the forest, taking a wrong turn into Timberwolf territory.

I'm trying something new and writing this in Applejack's voice/P.O.V...so...apologies if it comes out wonky. I'm not used to doing first-person types of fiction.

Semi inspired by this pic here: http://johnjoseco.deviantart.com/art/Protecting-the-Ones-You-Love-202452478 but the author hasn't responded to my inquiry about using it as a thumbnail, so I'm not. ^.^

Also, Gore tag is gone after some thought, since the attacks aren't really gore-ish. I'm leaving it Mature just to be safe, though.

NOTICE: Yes this most certainly is tagged ANTHRO and if that bothers you, don't read the story. In all honesty though I bet you are creative enough to ponify it in your mind! ^_^

The way Rainbow Dash felt about her friend AppleJack was something new to her, leaving her feeling pensive, nervous and excited. Will she act on these foreign feelings for her friend? Will her friend reciprocate these feelings? Or will she lose the best friend she has ever had?

Even if she did, things in life are seldom that simple and easy. Rainbow's past "experimental actions" could inadvertently cause her to lose the very mare she fell for head over hooves. So when the past comes knocking at her door again, what will Rainbow Dash do to keep what she fought so hard to get?

That's where Pinkie Pie comes in, ever the defender of her friends possibly budding relationship she goes to great lengths to make sure they get and stay together happily. Though when Pinkie figures out just who she is contending with in trying to protect her friends relationship; she finds herself stretched thin against the vengeful tide that spills forth. How long can she keep them safe from intruding eyes? Read on to find out just what happens...

Note: The artwork displayed is in no way my work, it is just a temporary cover image that I found conveyed the story's inevitable path. All credit for it should go to its author, and if anypony knows whom that is let me know so I can credit him/her for their work.

A month after the gryphon attack led by Gilda. Rainbow Dash and Applejack had lived happily in their relationship. But AJ's family turns her away for her affection to the cyan mare, and forces fueled by chaos gather to overtake the Mane Six. The sequel to Dive Bombs "Broken", a AppleDash ponyfiction.

Dive Bomb inspired me to make this sequel, and granted me permission. Dive is now also gone from ponyfiction, please read his stories, they are worth it I swear.

Sometimes, when you've lost so much, when everything you do seems to come out wrong, and when you don't feel like anything but a failure, it can seem like there is no other option but to give up.

But when one pony feels so lost, so inconsolable, so forlorn, that she makes a life-changing decision that almost leaves her shattered forever, it is up to her friends to bring her back.

When you lose something that you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, and when the tears come streaming down your face, is there anyone who you can turn to...

...to fix you?

Everyone has depression, often it is the quiet one, the one that smile and do anything to make other happy. They get on a mask and learn to hide it, Applejack is one of those ponies that have learned about the mask of happiness. She hardly show her true self, she hide her real self. Nopony know about this, not even her family. And because of that, she don't get the help she need, the help she is in dying need of. But nopony is there, nopony is there to help her. They go on with their life, not noticing her sadness.

Set a couple decades in the future, Applejack is on death's doorstep. Having been confined to the hospital, she wants to spend her last night with her wife, Rainbow Dash, outside of the walls of the hospital—as a free pony.

This story could use a re-write. That probably won't ever happen, but on the off chance that it does, I'll let people know.

Before you read this, I URGE you, in order to understand much of it, you MUST read this previous series: "To Fix You"

It has been several months since the fateful suicide attempt of a certain cyan pegasus. For Rainbow Dash, her new Marefriend Applejack, and the rest of Ponyville, life has returned to whatever semblance of normality they have previously grown accustomed to. However, when a mysterious stranger appears in town, it seems time to remember that things sometimes can be too good to be true. When confronted with hm, two mares will face a life-changing decision; a decision that could rip them apart no matter how strong the bonds of their relationship were forged. For some ponies, forgiveness is easy. For others, it proves hard to let go. He is a polarizing figure; a stallion who few in Ponyville remember, and those who do mostly wish to forget. His arrival begs the age-old question that is always posed when uncertainty rears its ugly head: What if? What if? What if?
