It took several minutes to get Annabeth back on her feet from her fit. When they did so it was at that moment Pinkie decided to return. Of course the way she returned was by teleporting from behind Percy. When the entrance was behind Annabeth. Needless to say Percy needed to get Annabeth back up and wipe the foam that was coming from her mouth off. After that interaction Sunset asked Pinkie to stay by her side whenever Annabeth was around.
Rainbow Dash returned with Applejack in her arms to see Annabeth still a bit crazy-eyed.
“Hey Applejack, maybe you should wait a minute until you interrogate them ok?” Rainbow requested before running off.
“Alright, if you say so.”
Which leads the gang to where they are now. Annabeth drinking some bottled water recovering, Pinkie playing with something in her hands next to Sunset, Percy tending to Annabeth, and Applejack giving Annie and Percy one of the dirtiest looks Sunset had ever seen her give to someone.
“Is now a good time to ask them the questions?” AJ asked Sunset.
She sighed, “Fine, just be gentle with the first few.”
Applejack then proceeded to walk towards the duo of demigods, “Do ya mind me askin’ some questions?”
“Uh, sure thing Cowgirl.”
“Name’s Applejack. Anyways, just what the hay were ya thinkin when you kidnapped ma friend here?”
“We didn’t kidnap her, she came with us willingly,” Percy explained, rolling his eyes.
“Then why didn’t ya let her talk to us?”
“Because we didn’t want the monster coming back and hurting one of you. It was best to leave with Sunset without telling you.”
Aj raised one of her eyebrows, “Really? One little monster isn’t going to much of a problem for us. Heck, we have fought things much worse than what was in the museum.”
“You saw the monster in there?”
“Yeah, didn’t you?”
“Of course I did! It is just that mortals usually can’t see monsters.”
“Then ya might wanna talk to ma entire school if that there’s the case.”
“Why?”
“Cuz not only has every student there seen a monster, they have also helped battle them.”
“You’ve fought monsters before? Which ones were they?”
“Well, there were The Sirens, the Storm King’s magic, Sunset, Twalaght-”
“You and your friends have fought Sunset before?” Annabeth asked, talking for the first time in 10 minutes.
“Sigh Yes, they fought me a few years ago. I got so obsessed with magic that I turned into a raging she-demon.” Sunset explained in a monotone.
“But the good news is that we beat her and she became one of our bestest friends!” Pinkie yelled joyfully.
“Best,” Annabeth corrected.
“Well yeah, I guess we bested her is another way of saying it but either way we won.”
“No-that isn’t what I- ugh! Is she always this confusing?” Annabeth asked Applejack, pointing at Pinkie.
“Unfortunately yes. Ah have known her fur years and she has never made a lick of sense.”
“Is she going to make my head explode eventually?”
“Yes,” Everyone chorused around the room. No one said anything until Pinkie looked at you and said, “Greehorn, this moment is for you.”
Everyone was confused. “Who are you talking to Pinkie?” Annabeth asked, scared of what was about to happen.
“The readers, I mean, this is the fourth chapter after all!” Pinkie chimed.
Annabeth didn’t regain consciousness for another 10 minutes after that. Meanwhile Applejack grilled Percy on what was going on.
“What do ya mean our friend here is a demigod?” Applejack questioned.
“What I mean is that she is half human half god. She is a child of Apollo if that monster was right. And she is not the only one in your group of friends. Rainbow is most likely a child of Hermes and Pinkie is probably a child of Dionysus.” Percy replied. Applejack quickly moved up to him and grabbed ahold of him. “Hey! What are you doing?!”
“I’m going to let you down once you tell me everything. And the Truth this time.” Applejack lifted Percy up using only one arm. Which didn’t help Annabeth’s sanity when she came to finally.
“Wha-huh? Hey! Let go of my boyfriend!” Annabeth got up and started running toward Applejack to try and punch her away. Applejack turned and caught her punch before it got anywhere near her face.
“Now don’t even try with that, Annabeth. Ahm as strong as 20 men put t’gether.”
“That shouldn’t even be possible! Are you a demigod too?!” Annabeth’s eyes widened with realization. “You are a demigod! That must mean your friends are all demigods to!”
“Now hold on. Ahm not the child of no god. I am the child of the deceased Bright Mac and Buttercup.”
“How else would you describe your immense strength?! If I had to guess you would be a descendant of Hercules. But no one has ever been claimed by him…” Annabeth went into silent thought, mulling over the possibilities.
“Um, Flapjack? Can you let me down maybe?” Percy almost whimpered out, as he was still hanging on the wall.
“Oh uhm, sure. And the name is Applejack!”
“Right Flapplejack, that’s what I said.”
Flapplejack facepalmed, “Alright, Ah’ll let it slide for now. But for that I need you to answer all of our questions.”
“Yeah! The audience has been waiting for 3 chapters now! They don’t want to be stuck in the same Library the entire time!” Pinkie yelled. Annebeth’s eye twitched.
“Fine. Me and Annabeth will try to answer as many questions as possible.”
“Alright, first one. Where are ya taking Sunset?”
“Easy, Camp Half-Blood.” Annabeth answered,
“And what is that?”
“It’s one of the two safest places in the entire world for demigods to be at. We are taking her there so she can train in her powers and how to protect herself in the outside world.
“She doesn’t really need to train for that anymore. She has been training her magic ever since birth and has been protecting herself pretty well over the past 5 years.”
“Where did she learn all of that then?” Annabeth asked a question herself. AJ looked over to Sunset who was waving her arms in the “no” sign.
“Ah can’t say. It’s confidential.” Annabeth got a suspicious look on her face but didn’t press the issue.
“Next question, can me an’ mah friends come with her?” Applejack moved on.
“If all of you are demigods or descendants of a god then yes you can all come.”
“Speakin’ of which. None of us are the children of any ‘Gods’. We are all normal girls with some special powers.”
Annabeth sighed like she had heard all of this before, “I know it’s hard to fathom, but Sunset is a child of a god. And most likely Rainbow and Pinkie along with her.”
“An’ how would ya know somethin’ like that?”
“Because I have seen this before. Rainbow is probably a child of Hermes with her speed. Pinkie might be a child of Dionysus with how she is with parties. And Sunset is a child of Apollo since a monster confirmed that.”
“Then who’s child would ah be?”
“Where do you live?”
“On mah family’s apple farm.”
“Then Demeter.”
Applejack scoffed, “Yeah right. I can easily tell when someone isn’t tellin’ the whole truth or is downright lyin’. So what are ya holding back?”
“Nothing, and how would you be able to tell that I was lying?” Annabeth said with apprehension.
“Confidential.”
“If you are stand for the truth so much than why don’t you tell us the truth?”
“Because you haven’t given us the full truth. When you give us your truth. We’ll give you ours.”
“Fine!”
“Fine!” Applejack stormed off to sit in a chair near the corner, what no one except Applejack noticed thought was that a plant started growing near her chair leg.
“Not again, not now of all times.” She grumbled to herself as she plucked the plant out of the ground and threw it in the trash can next to her.
All of a sudden Pinkie jumped out of nowhere and looked straight at the person reading this story.
“What will happen next? Will anyone figure out Applejack’s secret? How will Twilight react to this?” Annabeth fainted for what seemed like the hundredth time. “And will Annie last a single chapter with me in it without fainting? Find out next time in: The Mane Seven Demigods! And goodnight everybody!”
