A My Little Pony Romeo and Juliet Story
Chapter 1
On to the story now
Applejack’s POV
“I don’t want to marry someone I don’t know or love!” I said as I was at the table eating dinner, shocked at what my father had said.
“Well too bad, because I have complete control over you, and you don’t disobey me!” My dad shouted slamming his hoof on the table, clearly saying, ‘end of discussion’.
Everyone at the table, that being me and my mother, jumped up startled by that outrage, looked at my dad with wide eyes.
My mother spoke calmly to my dad, “Bright mac calm down, your gonna have another panic attack.” She said walking up to my dad, hugging him while I just stayed where I was with my thoughts.
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. Braking from the hug, my dad walked over to answer. Not a moment later he comes back with a smug look on his face, and I knew what that meant; I was in some deep shit right now.
“Who was it hunny?” My mother asked walking up to my dad, with a confused and concerned expression.
“It was the father of the pony my daughter is going to marry.” My dad said with a smirk that went from ear to ear.
I just glared at my dad and stormed off to my room, slamming the door really loudly and making the house shake.
Bright Mac’s POV
I watched as my daughter stormed upstairs, slamming her door and making the house shake. I bet your wondering why she is really pissed off right now I bet? Well here is why.
With me being the “man” of the house, I oversee everything, even my wife and daughter, but then I stopped controlling my wife and I now control my daughter. And me and my wife think it’s time that my daughter to get married, because she is growing up and I am not having my daughter be alone all her life.
However, my daughter does not want to get married to someone she doesn’t know or love. But I have complete control over her, she has no saying in any of this. I don’t give a fucking shit what she says or does, she is getting married and that is final. Plus, the pony I have arranged to marry her, is rich. So, she needs to marry him.
Applejack’s POV
I’m so pissed off with my dad right now! It’s worse that he has complete control over me! Ahhh! I hate life right now!
I was laying in my bed, after knocking nearly everything over in my room. There was glass and shit everywhere. I wanted to cry but I was so pissed that I couldn’t. I just want my dad to love me, my mom loves me and she hasn’t said anything about this, she hasn’t really agreed to this, she only said yes to my dad because she was scared of what he would do if she refused the idea.
I hate it when my dad shouts at me for anything I do. It was late at night now, and after some time tossing and turning, I decided to go downstairs to get a drink. Slowly and quietly coming down the stairs, I go into the kitchen and get a glass from the cupboard above the sink, and getting the water out of the mini fridge.
A few moments later, I finish my glass of water. I put my glass in the sink, then go to the stairs, quietly going up, though it was hard to keep quiet, with the floor-boards “creaking”. which is wired, when you go downstairs, they don’t make a noise, but when you go back upstairs, they do. My house is wired.
When I get to the top step, I slowly walk passed my parents’ room, hoping not to wake them up and get a scolding from my dad “again”. I bet your wondering what I am talking about aren’t you? Well let me tell you.
Two months ago,
I was in the kitchen at night, the same as what I was doing, and when I was going upstairs, the floor creaked so loud, that I was afraid of my parents waking up. So, I ran and just ignored the loudness of the floor, bolting into my room, and shutting the door. My dad was just coming out as I shut my door. I was about to get in my bed, when my dad bust open the door, and ran up to me shouting in my face. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING AWAKE AND OUT OF BED?!” I was too afraid to speak so I just kept quiet, trying to hold back tears.
“ANSWER ME!” He shouted again, gripping my hair and pulling until I screamed, tears falling down my face.
However, before I could answer my mom came into the room, and as soon as she saw what was happening, she came up to us and spoke to my dad, trying to get him to calm down.
“Hun calm down, why don’t you go back to bed?” My mom suggested. My dad just glared at me and let go of my hair before storming out of the room.
I just stood there, knowing my mom was going to shout at me or something. She might as well do something bad to me, my dad does it nearly every day. When we heard the bedroom door to my parents’ room, my mom turned to me and opened her hooves for a hug.
I ran into her embrace, crying into her chest while she stroked my back and hair, whispering to me. “Shh, its ok.” We stayed like that until I calmed down. I looked up at my mom.
“I hate this ma, I just want my dad to love me, and I’m surprised that you’re not mad at me. You should be though because my dad is mad at me.” I say getting out of her embrace; or I would have if my mom didn’t pull me back to her.
“Baby, I am going to tell you a secret, but you have to promise not to tell your dad.” She said
I’ll never forget that secret that my mum told me.
The secret…
I looked up at my mum, with tear stained eyes, but nodded none-the-less. But before my mum told me, she let go of me and went to shut the door. After doing that she sat on my bed; patting the spot next to her for me to sit too.
I sat next to my mum and she opened her mouth, “OK, when I tell you this secret, you have to promise that you never tell your dad or anyone, you must keep this between me and you got it?” I nodded at her and she went to whisper in my ear in case my dad heard.
“You know when me and your father ‘agreed’ to have you get married?” she asked I nodded again.
Well when your dad, suggested the idea to me, I didn’t really love the idea of you being forced to marry someone you don’t love or don’t know very well. I just said yes and agreed, because I was worried about what he would do if I said no.
As I had that thought, I was now in my bed and another thought crossed my head. It was the promise my mum gave me. You’re wondering what I mean aren’t you? Well let me tell you or show you for that matter.
While we were talking and hugging, my mum came up with an idea.
“Babes, what if I make a promise to you?”
“What kind of promise?” I asked looking up at her, my chin on her chest as she looked down at me.
“What if I keep pretending to ‘help’ your father with his plan, but I will,” she paused to see the door still closed and whispered to rest to me being extra quiet from the volume we were before. “help you by having you find someone you love or something like that?”
I looked shocked at that request but smiled none the less. I hugged my mum and said, “Yes ma, if you can I would really appreciate that.”
My mother smiled at me and kissed my head and got up from the bed, walking to the door. Slowly opening it and closing it after she stepped into the hallway.
My mother never broke that promise and is still doing her best to keep my father ‘distracted’. Even though my mum is pretending to agree with my dad, she is helping me. All I can say is, “Thank you mother, I love you.”
