//------------------------------// // Chapter 12: Family // Story: A Long Broken World // by Raikiry //------------------------------// Chapter 12: Family Written by: Raikiry It's been a little over an hour how Blitz gots the news about Granny's passing. Now he was in the front porch looking at the sunset without saying a word. He was thinking about his life, he didnt feel like to shedding anymore tears since it has been set aside. He needed to calm down and see whats he needs to do next. The young stallion looks to his right and saw the first time he met Applejack and her folks, a very hot day that Blitz was sweating his fur off by the intense summer heat. It was his second day living on Ponyville and decided to take a look around to see. He then notice the farm and the orchard, he was told they had an apple farm in this part of town that was own by the Apple family. Interested in the farm he went for a closer look. Flying over the fence and taking the view of the place, he heard the sound of hooves behind him. Turning around he saw a mare earth pony with blonde mane and apples as her cutie mark. It was at this moment where he met Applejack. Over time, they started to getting to know each other. At first, she thought he was some kind of business pony coming to offer a price for her farm. Laughing at her remark, he corrected her saying that he was no business pony and that he was new to Ponyville. As soon as all was settled down, Applejack decided to let him meet the whole Apple family. From there they became real close to each other. Blitz return to his sense and notice he as still sitting in the front porch. He then notice a little toy guitar beside him. Remembering from before, it made him dazed out and not noticing the toy belonged to Apple Bloom played when she was little, picking up the toy a sound of a screen door opens. looking behind he see's the red stallion showing a weak smile towards his friend. Blitz smirk and looks back to the view of the horizon. His hooves took a step closer to him and sat besdie Blitz, looking the horizon with him. He knew that since he got here, he was the only Friend who welcome him back with open hooves. "I'm sorry you had to find out. It was never my intention of telling you." Big Mac said with a sad smile in his lips. All Blitz could do is smile back at him. "Its fine Big Mac. I was gonna find out sooner or later." Big Mac sighs knowing that it hurts him to see his close friend- no wait, his brother in this kind of pain. He wanted to say something to him, however Blitz opened his mouth again. "Why don't you hate me Big Mac?" This caught the red stallion off guard for a second. Never did he expected Blitz to say such words. It was pretty obvious why he doesn't hate him like Applebloom or Applejack. Unlike that last time in Hearts and Hooves Day. =========================Past======================================== Blitz was in his cloud apartment preparing himself some lunch before he can start his day. It had been six month since he moved in to Ponyville and it felt like a good life living in this area. A sound was heard through Blitz window. Thinking it was nothing at first, he ignore it but then the sound came back. He went towards his window and opened it looking from below he see's Applejack smiling and waving at him to come down. Raising his eyebrow he quickly glide down and floated infront of "What's up AJ?" Blitz "Howdy Blitz. Ah was actually wondering if ya got any plans for today?" she asked. Hearing that from Applejack made him smirk and decided to tease her "Why Applejack are you asking me on a date on Hearts and Hooves Day." The mare didnt flinch as she smirked back at him knowing he was teasing her "Why yes ah am Blitz. A date for helping me and mah brother get hook up with somepony he has eye on" This got Blitz interested knowing Big Mac never once showed his emotion better yet showing that he has a crush on somepony "Wait.....is this to help him or are you going have fun along the way, while you tried to hook him up?" AJ shows a devious smirk on her lips. "Why Blitz, ah never would ever...Itgoingtobehilariousareyoucomingornotpartner" with that said Blitz couldnt help himself to laugh to himself. "Lets go!" Blitz said Launching himself towards the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. "That a boy!" Apple jack follows behind and started the day of hook up with Big Mac. The day goes on as they successfully hook up Big Mac with a local mare Roseluck who runs a flower shop in Ponyville. They spend the whole day talking and eating in a restaurant while laughing and giggling to each of their stories. By the point of view of Blitz, who was in a bush with Applejack scooping the red stallion out. "So when are going to make kissing face infront of him?" Blitz teased. AJ puts a hoof in her chin and thought about it for a second and was about to say until a Rainbow Peagasus came above them looking at them. "What are you two doing?" Rainbow ask getting in front of the two ponies who are spooked by her unexpected appearance . "Gosh Rainbow Dash, don't you be going scaring us like that." Applejack said. Blitz was on the floor faking a heart attack while Applejack and Rainbow Dash raise their eyebrows looking at the stallion who was making a show of himself. He quickly notices this and stop and sweep off the dirt of his coat. "What's up Dash." Blitz said. "Sup Blitz. And again, what are you doing?" Rainbow asked. "Well I was just faking a heart attack." He said with a smile on his face making Rainbow giggle. "I wasn't talking about that. I mean what are you and Applejack hiding in a bush?" she asked. The two ponies exchange looks at each other and then looks back at Rainbow who was waiting on their answer. Then they immediately noticed Big Mac was took off leaving Rainbow all to herself. "Ah screw it, I don't have anything better to do" With that said she shoots herself up in the sky and followed the dynamic duo who was still looking for Big Mac. The sun was setting and they still didnt found the red stallion, also while looking for a pony Blitz notice Rainbow dash following them, but he didnt said nothing. He looks at AJ to see if she notice that they being followed by a Rainbow pony. "Hey Applejack.....," He was cut off when he heard something close by. It was sobbing, Somepony was crying and Applejack and the one upstairs also notice the sound. He decided to check it out. After a minute of following the sound they saw the big red stallion standing in the lake. Blitz notice this and look around the area to see where is the mare he was with. Before he could speak he notice Applejack face turning red and he immediately knew she was mad. "Oh that no good mare made mah brother cry!" She half scream so mac wouldnt notice there were still hiding from him or spying on him. "Calm down AJ." Blitz said trying to pull her back. "Calm down?! Sugarcube how can I calm down if I see my only big brother hurt and thought he could be in a relationship?" She got up and was started head towards her brother. Noticing this he went after her, hoping it won't get any worst. Upon getting close towards the red stallion before Blitz could say something Big Mac beat him to it. "So are you done spying on me?" He said still not making eye contact towars his sister and friend. A concerned Applejack looked at Blitz before turning her head back to her brother "Big Mac, what happen? And why are ya crying?" A sigh escapes his muzzle and then shift his gaze towards the two ponies who was standing behind him "I poured mah heart out AJ and you know what she said?" She stood silent for moment to hear the answer of her brother "She said that she was scared of me and that its better if we remain friends." The words sink in as it started to boil itself up. Applejack couldn't help scrunch herself and make a face as if she's going to murder somepony. Before she could run off Rainbow Dash stood behind her to hold her down. Minutes pass on and apperently she was calm enough to be dropped her haunches in the dirt not saying a word. Blitz looks at Big Mac and then sat next to him looking at the lake with him, he could feel the two mares standing behind him staring at him waiting on what he was about to do next. ========Present======= "You remember that day Blitz?" He said to him. Nodding to him he couldnt stop smiling remembering that day he could of swear he was embarrase for saying those words. "Yeah.....I do" "How about you tell me those exact words you told me because ah can't seem to remember." Blitz laugh softly and looks up at Big Mac. "I said don't be sad and that if I were a mare, I would be all around you." Blitz said. "Boy I'll never forget the reaction from Rainbow Dash. She laughed so hard ah thought she would've died from laughing. "Yeah I would like to forget that day but that doesn't explain on why you don't hate me?" Big Mac smiles. "Because ah never lost sight of you being mah friend and brother and I never lost sight of how you got hurt. Love can sometimes blind a pony Blitz. It can sometimes change them into a different pony." With that he walks off leaving Blitz all alone. Big Mac was walking he saw Aj hiding besdie the barrel "I Recomend you stay there." He said while walking past her. Confused on what he said, Applejack starts to notice Blitz huming a melody getting the attention of the mare who was hiding. As she continues to listen his voice, her heart beats while following the rhythem of his song and following the rhythem of the toy guitar. While he played the little song, Applejack felt something inside herself something she didnt felt before when she was with Rainbow. It was something new to her and in all honesty she didnt hated it. The lyrics continues to echo in her ears and his voice dance throught her mind, if it was like hearing a voice of an angel. "Whats wrong with me?" she whispers. The song stop and she notices Blitz place down the guitar next to him. She notice he had his eyes close and his lips were moving, Apple jack could hear alittle what he was saying. So she stood quiet and heard the words of the stallion. "Granny, I hope your resting in peace and I'm sorry that I left without saying a word. I promise to make things right." He gets up from the pourch. "I know I'm studying to become a doctor but.....," his words stops. "Who said I couldn't be both. So Granny, if your hearing this, I'm going to be the first Wonderbolt who gets a medical degree. But first I'll need to try out for the team before getting to place the ." As he turns around he's body stop. In his point of view he saw Apple jack standing infront him, looking down and not making eye contact. he was scared on what's is going to happen. Then she look up towards Blitz. Feeling the wind and only hearing his own heart beat. He knew something going to happen. "It hurt Blitz...." This shock him, for the first time when he returned. he never heard AJ Said he's name for awhile. "It hurt when you left. It hurt when you didn't said a word. It hurt when you weren't there when she died." Blitz was hearing the words of element of honesty and he felt hurt because it was all true. "When I saw you, ah couldn't help myself and I just lost it. Everything came back to me and it made me go berserk." Blitz notice tears escaping from her eyes as she was having a hard time choking to herself while trying to let go of her emotions. "I don't know if ah hate you or if ah want to forgive you. I'm just so lost right now. She couldn't help but shed tears and wonder if she would be able to move on after everything that has happened. A wing wraps around AJ, making her startled at first. looking up she saw Blitz hugging her, comforting her. She didnt move, she felt warm in his embrace and the words that whispers in her ears made her break. 
 "Let it go AJ.....I'm here and I promise I'm not going anywhere this time." Those words made her break, she wraps her hooves around his back and embrace the hug. There was nothing but screaming and crying. She was finally letting all go. The tears falling in Blitz's coat made him tighten the embrace even more. While inside the house, Big mac saw the whole scene in his room window. A smile appeared on his face lips. "Oh Applejack, you never hated him. You just missed him and you were just to stuborn to realize that."
