//------------------------------// // Day 7 // Story: Oh Sister, What Happened to Thee? // by A_Mormon Brony //------------------------------// During the Day Since Ah searched Appleoosa 'n' didn't find nothin', Ah've decided not t' search no more, since Ah'm a-guessin' Ah ain't gonna find nothin', least not durin' th' day. Stead, Ah'm a-gonna dedicate m' time durin' th' day t' eatin' 'n' givin' m' 'part on what Ah've learned 'bout th' incident after watchin' those pictures Ah been a-takin'. My only problem is Ah ain't sure no more if'n Ah should tell the story from the beginnin', or jes' tell 'bout m' cousin Braeburn now. Ah know now that 'n' how m' big sis died, 'n' how Pinkie Pie died; 'n' Ah already 'parted on 'em. But, maybe jes' t' keep things from gittin' too confusin', Ah should jes' keep tellin' th' story from th' be-ginnin'. Yeh, Ah'll keep a-doin' that. So, here's what Ah have so far: When m' big sis 'rived here in Appleoosa, she went 'n' visited m' cousin Braeburn. They talked 'bout how m' nephew Apple Butter died, 'n' how Braeburn 'n' his wife was treated since then, 'til the dep'ty, Cowboy Diplomacy, came 'n' 'rested 'em fer no good reason 'n' throw'd 'em in jail. When Sheriff Silverstar got 'em outta jail, m' big sis 'manded justice fer how she 'n' m' cousin was treated. 'N', when she didn't git it 'mediate-like, she went t' m' cousin Braeburn's home, a-draggin' 'im with 'er, got all his stuff, 'n' left town with 'im. 'N', they wasn't th' only ones that was treated bad by Dep'ty Cowboy Diplomacy. Other ponies joined up with m' big sis t' follow 'er outta town. If'n m' big sis'd jes' waited 'nother day, she could'a got help from 'er friends. But, as it turned out, she was gone by th' time 'er friends 'rived in Appleoosa. Pinkie Pie went out into th' desert t' look fer m' big sis, 'n' found 'er 'n' ever'pony that went with 'er. Then, out there in th' desert, m' big sis told Pinkie Pie all that happened t' 'er 'n' m' cousin Braeburn, 'n' convinced 'er t' lead 'er 'n' ever'pony else t' th' buf'lo camp. 'N', once they all got there, m' big sis poisoned Chief Thunderhooves 'n' let 'im die in the campfire, blamin' it on old age 'stead o' 'mittin' she's the one that killed 'im. Course, if'n she'd been honest with ever'pony, I don't think nopony'd want a murderer t' lead 'em. Ah still gotta wonder, though, didn't nopony see m' big sis poison Chief Thunderhooves? Anyways, after takin' over the buf'los, m' big sis gave a herd o' ponies 'n' buf'los t' Pinkie 'n' told 'er t' go 'n' 'tack Appleoosa. Well, Pinkie's 'tack didn't go no good, least not fer her. Actu'lly, Ah don't think nopony really won that fight. Lot's o' ponies 'n' some buf'los died in that fight, 'n fact. Shinin' Armor fought Pinkie 'n' 'er group outta Appleoosa, 'n' told 'em he'd let 'em go if'n they'd promise t' not fight no more. Pinkie tried chargin' Shinin' Armor, 'n' got 'erself scalped b' Flash Sentry. After that, ever'pony that was with Pinkie 'n' survived th' fight 'greed t' not fight no more, 'n' left. When Pinkie gave 'er 'port t' m' big sis, she kicked 'er real bad 'n' left 'er t' die. Then, she gathered 'nother herd t'gether 'n' went t' 'tack Appleoosa. In th' streets o' Appleoosa, m' big sis 'n' 'er friend Rainbow Dash fought 'til m' big sis said she killed Pinkie Pie. After that, Rainbow Dash killed m' big sis. ... Ah can't believe Ah said that so easy-like. Ah don't know if'n Ah 'cepted it jes' yet, so Ah don't know why it came out o' me so easy-like. Anyways, after th' death o' m' big sis, Braeburn took over 'n' gathered 'nother herd 'n' went back t' Appleoosa. But, 'stead o' 'tackin' th' town, he went 'n' robbed it. Even took a bunch o' ponies prisoners, 'cludin' Fluttershy 'n' Rarity. Then, after 'e got back t' th' buf'lo camp, he wrote t' Shinin' Armor, 'mandin' all th' prisoners from th' jail in trade fer th' prisoners he took. 'N', when Shinin' Armor 'fused, he 'manded Appleoosa fer 'is prisoners. Ah's still c'nfused why he'd 'mand Appleoosa, where 'e weren't treated no good. 'N', there's one more thin'. What 'bout his mare? What was 'er name? What happened t' her? Maybe it don't matter none here. 'Course, last time Ah thought that, Ah found out th' dep'ty's name. Ah don't know if'n Ah'll have th' same luck with Braeburn's mare 'r not, Ah jes' can't help thinkin' 'bout 'er. Well, that's what Ah got so far. Ah guess Ah better git some sleep now, so's Ah c'n be ready fer that deep red breezy when it shows up 'gain. During the Night Well, Ah's 'wake 'gain, 'n' that breezy's back 'n' wantin' me t' follow it. So, Ah guess Ah better tag 'long, 'n' find what it wants me t' find. [one minute later] Ah's back at th' town hall, in one room, 'n' there's this glowin' spot on th' table. Ah guess Ah better take picture 'v it. [ten minutes later] Ah gotta 'gree with Shinin' Armor, Braeburn ain't doin' nothin' right makin' these d-mands on Shinin' Armor 'n' Appleoosa. 'N', Ah ain't s'prised none that Shinin' Armor 'fused 'is d-mands 'gain. Ah'm a-havin' t' wonder if Braeburn was 'spectin' t' be turn down. Somethin' tells me that m' breezy friend's a-gonna lead me back t' th' buf'lo camp 'gain. It's actin' like it wants t' lead me outta town now anyways, 'r least outta the town hall. Ah'm a-gonna follow it now. [a half hour later] As Ah 'spected, we's back in th' camp o' th' buf'los. 'N', as Ah 'spected, there's a glowin' spot in one o' the circles where a teepee once was. Ah'm a-gonna take picture 'v it now. [an hour later] Somehow, Ah ain't s'prised none that m' cousin didn't like bein' turn'd down 'gain. But, Ah is s'prised that Braeburn went t' Pinkie Pie's herd 'n' asked 'em t' join his herd. They said they wasn't a-gonna fight no more, 'cause they promised they wasn't. But, when Braeburn said they wasn't a-gonna fight nopony, they wasn't ready jes' yet t' join up with 'im. Looked t' me like he talked 'n' talked 'til they final-like decided t' go with 'im jes' so he'd finally shut up. Ah'm a-guessin' there's more than one way t' c'nvince somepony, 'r some buf'lo, t' join a cause that ain't no good. Well, looks like that breezy wants me t' follow it 'gain. Ah don't know if'n it wants t' show me somethin' else, 'r maybe it's jes' a-gonna git me back t' Appleoosa 'gain. Whatever it wants t' do, Ah'm a-gonna follow it. [a half hour later] Ah reckon that little breezy show'd me all it wanted t' show me. It lead me back t' m' cousin Braeburn's home, then dis'peared. Ah's c'nfused by m' cousin Braeburn's b'haver. Did m' big sis's death hit 'im that hard? Why's he a-doin' all that crazy stuff? Ain't 'e thinkin' straight no more? Whatever happened t' him, it don't look no good. But, that don't matter none too much t' me right now. Ah'm a-gonna try t' git some sleep fer the rest o' th' night. This is Applebloom, {yawn} signin' off.
