//------------------------------// // Chap 33 // Story: Applejack's Diary // by Techogre //------------------------------// Dear Diary, It was not the night I had imagined. At all. It all started off great with everyone at the platform, hugs and welcome backs all around. The first surprise was Alex and R.D. getting hitched. I was a little confused as to how I felt, at least until I caught Elusive grinning at me. I knew right then and there where my heart was. I was even a naughty filly and snuck him a kiss, right in the middle of that crowd. I think Mac saw us and wasn’t too happy, but that’s just too bad for him. Pinkie led us all to Alex’s house for one of her great parties. I don’t know how she does it, but everyone always has a great time. A couple of hours into that shing-ding I could tell R.D. was getting tired of it. I saw her whisper something to Alex and saw him whisper something to Trixie Beatrix. Next thing I know she’s putting on a quick show to distract us while they slipped out. I'm no Twilight Sparkle, but even I know when I'm being distracted. Anyway about three-quarters of an hour later R.D. comes crashing in through the door, almost ripping it out of its hinges. She starts going on about Alex holding off a popping cat, alone, by the old far north field we left fallow, and how Twilight and Fluttershy need to get there to save Alex. Well you didn’t need to tell us twice, most of the adults charged out the door with Elusive leading the way. That stallion sure knows how to impress a mare. R.D. and Fluttershy were ahead of us, Twilight not far behind them, and the rest of us following as fast as we could. Just before the rest of us got there Flutters came tearing past us, toward her cottage. She was bawling like a foal and we expected the worse. By the time we all got there, it was all over, and it was a grisly mess. I can't go on. I'll write more tomorrow. Signed, Shook up but proud
