Oh Sister, What Happened to Thee?

Day 5

During the Day

Ah jes' got finished searchin' ever' buildin' in Appleoosa, 'n' Ah ain't found nothin' t' help me in my in-vestigation. Either there ain't nopony know'd nothin' 'bout what happened t' m' big sis, 'r those that did know didn't r'card nothin'. Or, maybe they did, 'n' they done gone took their records with 'em. Whichever the case is, there ain't nothin' left here fer me t' find. Ah guess all Ah c'n do is wait 'til night t' git more information from that breezy, 'n' tell what Ah learn'd so far durin' the day.

So, here's what Ah know'd so far.

When m' big sis 'rived here in Appleoosa, she went to m' cousin Braeburn's house, where they talked 'bout what happened to m' nephew Apple Butter, 'n' what happen'd t' 'em after 'e died; 'n' both o' them was 'rested by th' dep'ty 'n' throw'd in jail. Sheriff Silverstar got 'em released, but m' big sis de-manded justice for what she 'n' m' cousin Braeburn went through. But, she couldn't wait fer it t' happen; 'n' so she went back t' m' cousin Braeburn's home, packed up all his stuff, 'n' left town with him 'n' all th' ponies in town that was treated bad by the dep'ty.

When m' big sis's friends 'rived, Pinkie Pie left town a-lookin' fer m' big sis, 'n' found 'er 'n' ever'pony else out in the desert, where m' big sis told 'er 'bout how she 'n' Braeburn was treated, 'n' convinced 'er t' join 'er. 'N', Pinkie Pie lead 'em t' th' buf'los.

When they got t' th' buf'los' camp, 'n' Ah still can't believe she did this, m' big sis poisoned Chief Thunderhooves 'n' let 'im die in th' fire pit. Then she took o'er the buf'lo herd 'n' sent Pinkie with a bunch o' ponies 'n' buf'los t' Appleoosa t' attack th' town.

Pinkie fought agin Twilight's brother Shinin' Armor 'n' lost, 'n' was scalped by Flash Sentry. Then, when she 'turned t' m' big sis 'n' told 'er 'bout it, m' big sis kicked 'er real bad 'n left 'er t' die. 'N', after that, she went back t' Appleoosa with 'nother group o' ponies 'n' buf'los, cause those that went with Pinkie wouldn't fight no more. They had promised Shinin' Armor, after all.

She might'a killed Chief Thunderhooves, kicked Pinkie 'n' left 'er t' die, but Ah still wanna b'lieve Applejack is still m' big sis. Ah don't wanna give up on 'er 'til Ah know she's either dead or else a lost cause.

Ah also found out the dep'ty's name, Cowboy Diplomacy, 'n' that she died in th' fight agin Pinkie Pie. But, Ah guess there ain't no way m' big sis could'a know'd 'bout it. Maybe, if'n m' big sis could'a know'd 'bout that, she would'a gone back t' Appleoosa 'n' made things right, stead o' tryin' t' take o'er the town like she did.

Well, that's all Ah got 'n m' r'part right now. Ah might be fear'd 'bout what Ah'm a-gonna find out, but Ah gotta take a nap right now so Ah'll be ready fer whatever that breezy's a-gonna show me t'night.

During the Night

Yeah, little breezy, Ah'm 'wake. 'N', much as Ah ain't lookin' forward to it, Ah'm a-guessin' Ah'm a-gonna find out what fine-like happened t' m' big sis.

Ah'm a-followin' that breezy outside again, 'n' it's a-leadin' me int' town. Ah'm a-guessin' that whatever it wants t' show me must be there.

[a minute or two later]

Ah ain't s'prised t' find m'self in th' middle o' town, 'n' Ah ain't surprised t' see 'nother o' them glowin' spots again. But, there's somethin' 'bout this one that really scares me this time. Is this where m' big sis died? Ah guess Ah'm 'bout t' find out. So, here goes nothin'.

[an hour later]

No, … Rainbow Dash, … no!

[another hour later]

Ah's so sorry. Applejack, big sis, Ah's so sorry.

Ah … was right. M' big sis … is dead. 'N', Ah jes' found out how she died.

Turns out, when her group was a-fightin' agin Shinin' Armor 'n' th' Appleoosans, m' big sis was a-fightin' agin Rainbow Dash.

All m' big sis's friends wanted t' know why she was a-doin' what she was a-doin'. 'N', only Rainbow Dash was willin' t' confront 'er 'bout it.

Rainbow Dash reminded m' big sis that she was still th' element o' honesty, 'n' asked 'er why she wasn't bein' honest no more.

M' big sis told 'er 'bout how she 'n' m' cousin Braeburn'd done been treated by th' dep'ty, 'n' that was why she left.

Rainbow Dash said m' big sis was a-takin' things way too far, 'n' that she's becomin' a traitor.

Well, Ah gotta 'gree with Rainbow Dash on that.

Anyways, m' big sis … m' big sis said she killed Pinkie Pie, 'n' … 'n' … Rainbow Dash … she … she killed … m' big sis!

Ah was a-hopin' m' big sis was still 'live, 'n' was jes' a-hidin' somewheres. But, now Ah know she ain't. She's dead, 'n' Ah can't do nothin' t' help 'er no more.

Oh, big sis, why couldn't y'all jes' wait fer yer friends t' come? They could'a help'd y'all, 'n' yeh wouldn't be dead right now!

[another hour later]

{sigh}

W-well, now Ah know what happened t' Pinkie Pie 'n' m' big sis; but Ah'm left a-wonderin' what happened t' Rainbow Dash 'n' m' cousin Braeburn. But, Ah guess Ah still got a few more days t' find that out. Ah's tired right now, 'n' Ah ain't feelin' too good. Ah'm a-goin' t' m' cousin Braeburn's house t' sleep fer a while. Ah'm … a-signin' off now.
