Day 15: Identity crisis.
Morning came by at Applejack's barn and when Roxas woke up his eyes were no longer shaded or yellow but back to normal, he saw his friends they were still holding onto him since the accident last night. Roxas watched the scene and with a big smile he gently woke up the rest of the girls.
''Hey girls? Did you have fun sleeping with me?'' Roxas said.
Little by little the 6 mares started to open their eyes one by one.
''Roxas, your alright, and your eyes are back to normal'' The Mane 6 answered.
"Yup, you guys told me that you all Love me, I never had anypony say that to me before''. Roxas said as he rub one of his forelegs.
The girls started to show pink blushes, and Applejack was the first one to talk.
'' That's right fella, the first time ah saw you ah know that ya' were part of our family, but am sorry for what ah did to ya' partner, sorry for no trusting ya' " Applejack answered.
" That's right Spiky you are now part of our family, part of ponyville, screw those guys from your old job" Rainbow added.
''Thanks a lot, this means a lot to me, and I should return the favor, I would like to know more about love, but I guess I'll need some help with the subject, I need to feel the experience of loving somepony....you girls don't mind teaching me? " Roxas said.
That last comment made the girls gasp and tackled Roxas into another group hug with tears in their eyes.
"Of course Roxas, we will try our best" the mane 6 answered.
'' Thank you, girls, all of you''. Roxas said as he hugs them back.
After that group hug Roxas started feeling weird, deep inside him an emotion began to grow, he remembered the first time tears went down from his eyes.
"Ugh, why am I crying?" Roxas thought.
"Are you okay Roxas?" Twilight asked.
"What is it darling, the darkness is hurting you again?" Rarity asked.
" No...I just tried to remember who was with me that time, in the station" Roxas said.
"Station? Like train station?" Pinkie asked.
"Yeah, that was the first time I cried, but why...? Ugh trying to remember that makes my head struggle" Roxas said.
Then suddenly background music (Roxas's theme) started to play and made Roxas have the urge to sing to them.
[Lyrics made by Tommytran ]
Long ago, when our eyes used to shine,
We were always there for each other.
Right at the very beginning of where it all first started.
Partners in crime, thick as thieves against the shadowy darkness!
And through all that I was yours, and you were mine.
Once You told me why the sun sets red,
I know that I'll never forget it!
Now you're gone, but the sun still sets in the sky...
So at dusk, I will always think of you my once trusted companion.
Do you think we could ever turn back time someday?
You and me, will we ever be the same again Axel?
Once upon a time, in my dreams,
I reached for you, and you reached for me.
Waking up is the hardest thing to do
because, in my dreams, I had you as my first real friend!
Since you're gone, and the sun still sets in the sky.
I am all alone in my solitude right now...
At dusk, I will always think of you!
The mane 6 were amazed at Roxas solo singing it made their hearts skip a beat and they said.
'' Your voice was beautiful Roxas you not just a great warrior but a great singer too''. Fluttershy commented.
''Although that song was about your despair and wonders what's to become of you now wasn't it''. the mane 6 continued
He nodded and put a hoof to his chest.
'' It's kind of weird that I can feel anything at all without having a heart to feel with''..
''All your whole Life it's been nothing but tragedy hasn't it? but don't worry Roxas, we'll be there to help you get through. It won't be easy at least your not alone anymore'' they all said while putting their hooves on both his face cheeks.
Suddenly the barn's doors open up making them let go of Roxas's cheeks quickly before anypony saw that and applebloom came in to tell the gang that breakfast is all prepared for them in Applejack's house. Then everypony stomach started rumbling and they follow her to the house for some grubs. When they arrive there were Apple cinnamon waffles, Apple pancakes, Apple pies, A plate of Scramble eggs, A plate of French toasts, Apple fritters, A bowl of apples, and apple ciders.
"Man, isn't this too much breakfast Applebloom?" Roxas said.
'' Oh don't be so modest and humble my dear boy we want to make sure that everypony here gets their fair share of a good meal to start ya'll day today''. Granny Smith answered.
'' It was a lot of work but it's worth it dig in everypony''. Big Mac said.
"Wow Big Mac, this is the first time I hear you say more than 2 words, hahaha" Roxas said.
After the whole group chow down and finish their meal Granny smith and Big mac grab the plates and take them to the kitchen for cleaning while applebloom got herself ready for school.
Roxas and the mane six finished their breakfast, the young stallion took a moment to praise the delicious food the apple's cooked for him.
''Mmmm the food was really good. I never had this much food back where I came, all I ever had was Sea-Salt Ice Cream''.
"Just...ice cream?" Twilight asked.
'' Yeah, because as a Nobody we don't actually need to eat or drink to sustain ourselves, just our dark powers and having plenty of rest, but Axel showed me the joy of eating food by introducing me to his favorite treat, the sea salt ice cream''. Roxas explained.
"Oh interesting" Twilight answered.
Applebloom came downstairs with her saddlebags.
"Roxas could you please take me to school" Applebloom said.
"Ehm, Sure, let's go, but what is a school exactly?" Roxas asked.
"School is the building where little fillies go and learn stuff" Applejack explained.
"Alright, no problem just tell me where Is it and I'll follow you around" Roxas answered.
"Thanks Roxas" apple bloom replied.
When the two ponies left the barn, the mane 6 use this as an opportunity to talk in private about their love confession to Roxas.
“Ok, now that it's just us here...Let’s talk about Roxas.” Twilight said. as she sat in a circle with her friends.
Each of them was either blushing, trying to avoid eye contact, or both.
Rainbow took the initiative and decided to speak first.
''Agh... why are we all gonna act shy about it, we already said back in AJ barn that we all love the Spiky-headed dope''.
This struck a chord with everyone as they were reminded of that heat of the moment back in the barn house. Making every mare react differently, Fluttershy shrink herself, Applejack seemed tongue-tied, Rarity began turning super red, Pinkie was starting to implode and Twilight was extremely nervous. But finally, Applejack decided to answer the statement the blue pegasus did a couple of seconds ago.
“Ok, fine, so we all like the fella.” She admitted.
“So...what now?”
At this, Rarity seemed to have a thought which caused her to smile. “Well dearies, I suppose we could always just tell him, you know, be direct with him”
Upon hearing such a bold proposal, Fluttershy started having a DOES NOT COMPUTE moment.
"OH...nononono, I CAN'T DO THAT" she said.
Pinkie smiled and nodded at the notion.
"OH...YES YES YES, I WANT THAT OPTION" Pinkie shouted.
Rainbow and Applejack tensed up and Twilight began fumbling with her words.
“I uh, I mean...well we could also...show him how we umm…feel about him!” Twilight added.
She finally noticed the looks her friends were giving her. They were all staring at her wide-eyed, and Rarity was holding a hoof to her mouth while her eyes seemed to sparkle with barely contained... Glee? Amusement? Mirth? ...Twilight wasn’t sure what it was.
Rainbow almost tripped over her words when she replied.
“Wha-what do you mean what?! You said it like it was just going to happen!” Rainbow replied.
“Huh?” Twilight was utterly confused.
“The-the, thing! The…” Rainbow looked at the other girls, then back at her. “Twilight… are you saying you want to...” She was having trouble saying it so Pinkie decided to but in.
“You want us to be in a herd with Roxas?!” She blurted.
''Well Yes...I don't know okay! you see... I've been doing research on my books about relationships... I found one about the herding and if you think about it our planet has more female genders here...than male gender...so a stallion having multiple mares in a relationship isn't uncommon in our culture and besides... he makes each of us happy and well he's has been very clingy to want our love and affections so let's give this chance so we can see if Roxas can learn how to Love somepony in his life''. Twilight stated.
"Oh no... I can't do that..." Applejack replied.
"It's too much Twilight, I mean Roxas has to deal with a lot of things right now, he could barely concentrate with all of us as her mates" Rainbow dash said.
"Yeah dear, that's also information of the old world, it will be kind of weird if we all hang out with the same stallion" Rarity added.
"And don't forget his dark powers, we don't know how he will react... it's really a high bet."Applejack said.
" I propose that we teach him what love is first, with a giant secret party" Pinkie pie said.
"Yeah..." Fluttershy answered.
"Fine, let the best mare win" Twilight said.
"You bet" Rainbow replied.
"But before that, what do you think about what Roxas said, that he is just a vessel" Twilight said.
"Well we dont know exactly what that meant, we know that Sora is one of the candidates, hope that someday we get the chance to meet him" Applejack said.
"Yeah, probably someday"Rarity said.
"From what I saw in some of Roxas memories, I think Sora is a good stallion too" Twilight explained.
"Until that time comes, let's keep an eye on Roxas, he doesn't have enough light to suppress his dark powers" Rainbow explained.
The mares nodded, but Fluttershy still had some things to say.
"Hey I think we know someone that could help Roxas with his Dark control" Fluttershy suggested
"Who?"The other mares said.
"Princess Luna"
"Are you crazy Fluttershy?"Rainbow said.
"No, maybe she is right, Luna had more experience with the Dark powers than us." Twilight said.
"I'll ask her the next time I visit canterlot" she added.
Meanwhile, after Roxas dropped off applebloom at her school Ms.Cheerilee began a lesson on cutie marks. She explained that her cutie mark, a trio of smiling flowers, represented her wish for her students to bloom and learn cheerfully.
"Now kids, can somepony tell me when does a cutie mark appear?"
"Teacher!!! Here!!!" a little filly replied.
"Yes Twist?" Ms.Cheerilee said.
"The cutie mark appears when a pony discovers what makes him or her special" the filly replied.
"Very good Twist, now let's continue with the class"
As the class continued one of the classmates, Diamond Tiara whispered something to Apple Bloom and passed her a note. Unfortunately, Cheerilee caught Apple Bloom passing the note. When she opened the small piece of paper, she found out that the paper was entirely blank. Diamond Tiara quipped...
"Remind you of anypony?"
Applebloom sheepishly looked down at her blank flank, starting to think about it all the rest of the day.
After class, Twist saw all the bullying the other fillies did to the apple mare, so she tried to invite Applebloom to various activities, but Applebloom, who appeared downcast, decline the offer.
"Look who's here...the blank flanks" Diamond Tiara said.
"Good one, Tiara" Silver spoon replied.
"Since I recently got my cutie mark, my dad and I are going to make a big cute-ceañera party" Diamond said.
"Cute-Ceañera?" Twist asked.
"Is a party to celebrate her fantastic cutie mark" Silver spoon replied.
Applebloom began to think like Roxas, what would he do in this situation?
"Hmm what would Roxas do?" She thought.
After a couple of seconds of thinking...
"Hmm, what a show-off" Applebloom said imitating Roxas attitude and manners.
"What did you say?" Diamond Tiara asked Applebloom but she completely ignore her.
"You hear me" Applebloom replied.
School day came to an end, Roxas went back for applebloom, the little filly talked about everything she did the entire day at school.
"So you confront your bully...nice" Roxas said.
"My brother and sister always told me to not bother somepony else is not right"
"Let me tell you something, when I was in the organization I was always the one who pick to bother"
"What did you do?" Applebloom asked.
"I prove myself, I trained every time I could, sooner or later I became better than them" Roxas explained.
"But how can that help me? I ain't a fighter like you Roxas" Applebloom said.
"What I really meant is that you don't need to train physically, the key is not to give up, sooner or later your cutie mark is going to appear, trust me" Roxas said.
"You think so?" Applebloom said.
"Yeah, as long as you keep fighting for what you want" Roxas said.
"Alright!!!!" Applebloom replied.
"But hey, don't tell Applejack or Big mac about your little fight, they're probably going to think that I teach you some of that stuff, and I don't want to have a problem with your sis" Roxas said worriedly.
"Dont worry Roxas, my lips are sealed" Applebloom said.
"Thank you Applebloom" Roxas replied.
"I can't believe that the most heroic stallion I know is afraid of my big sis"
"Well, she can be a little scary when she is angry" Roxas said.
" HAHAHA, don't worry Roxas, she doesn't bite"
"What are you saying?" Roxas said.
"Oh nothing, I'm going to tell my sister you are scared of her, or perhaps...somethin' else" Applebloom said mocking Roxas as she ran away from him.
"HEY! Come here Applebloom, don't do it" Roxas shouted running behind the little filly.
"Hahaha, I'm going to tell my sis"
When the two ponies arrived at the farm, the rest of the apples were preparing everything for the dinner.
Applebloom began to tell her story to the entire family, and why she was one of the last of her class to have a cutie mark.
"Oh don't worry sugarcube, Granny smith, Big mac and I were the last ones to get our cutie marks"
"So the delay runs in the family huh?" Applebloom said.
"If you wanna put it like that...yeah" Applejack replied.
" I guess I have no other choice but to wait, but it's okay, I just have to be patient" Applebloom said.
"Exactly, And I got an idea to cheer you up" Applejack suggested.
"What is it?" Applebloom asked.
"You can help me with the food stand"
"Hmmm, sure why not? Maybe my cutie mark is related to the sales"
"Alright, Roxas you wanna come with us?" Applejack asked.
"Sure let's go" Roxas said.
Applebloom hug her sister, and the three of them went to the center of the town, on the road Applebloom began mocking Roxas with the past subject, making the young stallion smile in the process.
When they arrived at the town square, Applejack and Applebloom set up the apple stand and began to plan a strategy of sales.
"Alright, Applebloom your job is simple, try to find a way to make the clients buy our stuff, got it?" Applejack said.
"Got it, I think I have a sale pitch we could use" She replied.
"Why don't you try it with that guy?" Roxas suggested.
"Good idea, sugarcube, let's hear it sis" Applejack said.
"Here goes nothing..."
"You can eat 'em, play with 'em, create fine art for your home with 'em!"
She aggressively badgers Dr.Hooves into buying apples causing the other customers to go away. Applebloom excitedly checked her flank, but no cutie mark is there.
"Hmm, still nothing"
Seeing no progress, Applebloom changes her objective to "increase her sales figures".
" Uhmm, applebloom maybe you should turn down the aggressiveness, you're scaring the clients" Roxas suggested but the filly didn't listen to him.
"YOU TOUCH IT, YOU BUY IT!" She shouted.
Applebloom then loaded Bob Bon’s bag with some apples and accused her of taking them, so she demanded four coins for them.
Luckily Applejack was there to control the situation.
"I'm so sorry madam, here are your coins" the orange mare replied.
"What were you thinking? You can't force your cutie mark to appear out of nowhere, that's not how it works" Applejack said.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" Applebloom said in distress.
"Be patient, that's all, why don't you go to Diamond Tiara's party with that other girl of your class that doesn't have a cutie mark?" Applejack said.
"Ugh...fine" Applebloom said.
The yellow filly left the apple stand and went directly to the party.
"C'mon Applejack don't be so tough with your little sister, she is trying her best to find her talent" Roxas said.
"I know Roxas, but she needs to realize that the cutie mark doesn't define who we are...its just our special talent" Applejack said.
"I see your point there" Roxas said.
"Glad you see it that way" Applejack replied.
"I'll try to speak with applebloom, maybe I could help her with her problem"Roxas said.
"That would be nice, I know my sister sees you as an older brother, so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to cheer her up" Applejack said.
"Dont worry, I will" Roxas said flying to the party.
Following Applejack’s suggestion, Applebloom went to Twist place, when she arrived she asked her if she wanted to go to Diamond Tiara's cute-ceañera together since they both don't have a cutie mark.
However, Twist has already gotten her cutie mark after discovering that making sweets was her "super-special talent."
"I'm sorry Applebloom" Twist replied.
"Oh...dont worry...is nothing" Applebloom replied.
Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon arrived on the scene.
"So applebloom still doesn't have her cutie mark, that's so sad" Silver spoon said.
"Oh I'm sorry...my party is exclusive for ponies with cutie marks not blank flanks hahaha" Diamond Tiara added hurting applebloom feelings in the process.
After that tragic event, Applebloom decided to visit Rainbow dash. Roxas showed up and pushed away a literal dark cloud over Apple Bloom's head.
"Hey hey...you okay applebloom?" Roxas asked after he saw her little friend.
"No Roxas, Twist just got her cutie mark and I'm still a blank flank, just like the others said"
"I'm tired of all this"
Roxas gave her a little hug.
"C'mon don't say that...I know other ponies can be mean but remember don't show your weakness to them, you still have your family, they will support you until the end" Roxas said.
"But now nopony would ever want to be my friend" Applebloom said.
"That's not true, I'm sure someday you'll meet another ponies with your same problem, don't worry" Roxas said.
"Thank you, Roxas, I feel better now"
Rainbow dash who was casually hearing the entire conversation appeared in front of the two ponies.
"So Applebloom...you want to have your cutie mark uh?" Rainbow said.
"Wait, where did you..." Roxas tries to ask but Rainbow interrupts him.
"Not now Spiky, I'm going to help this poor girl with her problem" Rainbow said.
Rainbow dash told Applebloom that she was the first in her class to earn her cutie mark after discovering her "need for speed."
The scene cross-faded to AppleBloom doing every type of exercise, and Rainbow Dash tells her that the key is "to try as many things as possible as quickly as possible.” Applebloom tried juggling, hang-gliding, karate, kite-flying, and "Ultrapony Roller Derby", but she failed all of the activities.
After the sports montage, Rainbow Dash and Applebloom we're taking a quick break when suddenly Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked by. Applebloom hides from them in a bush.
Rainbow Dash proceeded to prepare her new list of sports and activities, but Pinkie Pie shows up and suggested that Applebloom might be good at eating cupcakes.
" Maybe I should give that a try"
Applebloom thanked Rainbow Dash and together with Pinkie they headed to Sugarcube Corner. Inside the shop, Applebloom volunteered to help Pinkie and Roxas make some cupcakes.
"Now that Roxas sang a piece, I think is my turn to shine now, what did you say?"
"Wait who are you talking to? Roxas asked confused.
[Pinkie Pie]
"All you have to do is take a cup of flour
Add it to the mix
Now just take a little something sweet, not sour
A bit of salt, just a pinch
Baking these treats is such a cinch
Add a teaspoon of vanilla
Add a little more, and you count to four,
And you never get your fill of...
Cupcakes! So sweet and tasty
Cupcakes! Don't be too hasty
Cupcakes! Cupcakes, cupcakes, CUPCAKES!"
During the song, Pinkie cartoonishly appears in multiple places at once and pops out from behind unexpected places, like a ceiling lamp.
"I'm really grateful she is not an enemy, I mean how did she do that" Roxas thought.
"Hey Pinkie! How did you do that" Roxas asked.
'' I don't know Roxas maybe our world is just special thanks to the magic so its best not to ask too much about it and just ''wing it'' you know get it ''wing it'' hehehe and go with the flow and follow the Rhythm of the Song''. Pinkie pie explained.
"Pinkie hold on I smell...Oh No, something is burning" Roxas screamed to inform pinkie but she didn't pay attention.
Applebloom took a tray of burnt cupcakes out of the oven.
"Those look much better than the last batch." Pinkie replied trying to lift applebloom morale.
"I don't have what it takes to be a chef of desserts like you pinkie, I guess I'm going to be a blank flank all my life" Applebloom said.
"Dont say that look at my cutie mark it doesn't look like a cake, I just learned how to do it because Ms.Cake taught me" Pinkie commented.
"What do you mean?" Applebloom replied.
"What I meant is that you don't need a cutie mark to learn something, you can learn all types of things" Pinkie said.
"Pinkie is right, maybe you could try with different activities, try to learn all you can" Roxas added.
"I guess you're right, maybe I should go outside and try to do everything I can"
Minutes later Twilight Sparkle entered the bakery, Pinkie offered her some burnt cupcakes, which she declined.
"Hey Twilight do you know a spell related to the cutie marks? I need to make mine appear"
"Uhmm no...that's something you have to discover on your own" Twilight replied.
"Please, please, please, please" Applebloom begged for it.
"Fine, let me try this" Twilight said.
With a lot of concentration, Twilight began to charge her horn to cast a big magic spell. A ray of purple light appeared from the tip of her horn and with a very precise movement, she aim the magic ray towards apple bloom's flanks.
As a result, a cutie mark appeared on applebloom flank.
"HOORAY" She shouted.
But the happiness wouldn't last forever because the cutie mark vanished seconds later.
"OH COME ON" Applebloom said.
"I told you, not even magic can make a cutie mark appear before its time".
"Then how bout you, Roxas?" Applebloom asked.
"What?" Roxas said.
"What about your Keyblade? maybe my cutie mark is related to wielding a magic sword just like you, let me try please'' Applebloom suggested.
"To be fair I don't even know what my talent is, but sure... if the Keyblade stays with you for more than 5 seconds, then you might be able to use it when you grow up a little" Roxas summoned the Keyblade and handled it over to Applebloom.
"So that's how it feels, it feels so light" Applebloom said.
But just as Roxas said the magic sword disappear when Applebloom tried to use it, seconds later it reappeared in Roxas hoove.
"Sorry Applebloom" he said.
The scene cut to Apple Bloom at the cute-ceañera at Sugarcube Corner. She ducked under a table with a long tablecloth and carried it to the exit.
As she tried to sneak out, she bumped into Applejack, who unwittingly pushed her all the way back into the room. When Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara spot Apple Bloom, she grabbed the tablecloth and turned it into a dress to hide her flank.
She then lied and said that she got her cutie mark earlier. When Diamond Tiara called her bluff, AppleBloom claimed she didn’t want to outshine Diamond Tiara at her own cute-ceañera.
Unfortunately, she stumbled over her dress and bumped into a Phonograph, which make the needle loudly scratch the record, drawing the attention of the entire party.
When Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara point out AppleBloom’s exposed blank flank, a small orange pegasus with magenta mane in a style that is similar to Rainbow Dash called out from under a table.
"You got a problem with blank flanks?" She said, seconds later Sweetie Belle came out from under the table and defend Applebloom, saying she's full of potential and could become anything.
"She could be a great scientist, or an amazing artist, or a famous writer. She could even be mayor of Ponyville someday." Sweetie belle said.
"Yeah, and you just have a normal Tiara, puff dont make me laugh" the orange pegasus said.
"Who are you?" Applebloom asked.
"The names Scootaloo"
After that presentation, the three fillies started making jokes about Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon.
"Well, look at that applebloom it seems that you find yourself a pair of ponies who haven't yet discovered who they truly are" Twilight said.
"I thought I was alone in my search but now that I met you girls, I couldn't be happier knowing that I'm not alone in this" Applebloom explained.
"That's cute applebloom, maybe if we three work up together we will find our cutie marks more quickly what do you say?" Sweetie Belle answered.
"Great idea, let's form a secret society dedicated to searching our cutie marks the" Applebloom replied.
Diamond tiara was really mad about the trio getting all of her party attention, so she tried to sabotage the fillies by throwing a piece of cake at them.
Thankfully Roxas prevent this. Showing Diamond tiara true colors at her party.
"This isn't over Applebloom, you ruined my party...and" Diamond tiara said but Roxas interrupt her.
"Just stop kid, I don't like bullies so get out of here"
Roxas words scared Diamond tiara out, making her leave angry from the party's place.
"Thank you so much Roxas, for all" Applebloom said.
"Dont worry, anything for my friends" Roxas said.
"So what would be our society name?" Scootaloo said.
"Hmm, maybe Roxas could help us, he is good with the names" Applebloom said.
"Uh? Me?" Roxas asked confused.
"Yeah Roxas, could you propose a name for our group" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Yeah, you seem cool enough to help us" Scootaloo said.
"Hmmm how about...The crusaders"Roxas proposed.
"I know, I know... The cutie mark crusaders" Scootaloo said.
"Yeah, that sounds great" The other two members answered.
"Thanks for that Mister" Sweetie Belle said.
"C'mon you can call me Roxas"He answered.
"Well then Roxas, since you make the name of the secret society, then you are a former creator of the Group" Scootaloo said.
"You are now part of the CMC'S" Applebloom said.
"All right, in case you got into trouble just give me a call, I'll be there to help you" Roxas replied with a little smile.
"THANK YOU ROXAS!" The trio said.
After that Twilight returned to her house and started writing the letter to Celestia.
Twilight began writing her letter ''Dearest Princess Celestia, I am happy to report that one of your youngest subjects has learned a valuable lesson about friendship. Sometimes, the thing you think will cause you to lose friends and feel left out...''.
Princess Celestia continued''...can actually be the thing that helps you make your closest friends and realize how special you are Hmm''.
The scene fades out as she takes a look at her cutie mark which is a stylized sun.
After that Twilight sends the letter and reunites with the others on top of the barn to see the Sunset and eat Ice cream.
"Well girls, at least we were able to make somepony happy right?"Roxas said.
"I know someday ma little sister will find her cutie mark" Applejack said.
"Yeah, I hope my sister too" Rarity said.
"Hey Roxas did you find out what does your cutie mark does?"Fluttershy asked.
"No I haven't, but maybe is something related to the Keyblade or my nobodies...I don't know" Roxas answered.
"Maybe with desserts too, you made the sea-salt ice cream famous in ponyville Roxas" Pinkie pie said.
"R...r...really? Never thought so"Roxas said confused.
The other girls started to laugh.
After a couple of hours later, everypony returned home.
The night arrived, Roxas returned to his bedroom in sweet apple acres, he took off his cloak and went to bed.
"I never thought about my cutie mark, what does it mean?" Roxas said.
After some meditation Roxas close his eyes and began dreaming. He arrived once again at the place where Xemnas was.
"Ugh not this again" He thought.
"So you came to visit me again, what a marvelous surprise" Xemnas argued.
"What do you want?" Roxas asked his superior.
"You're getting closer to the light, I cannot let that happen" Xemnas answered.
"Too bad for you, I got friends who watch my back now" Roxas commented.
"Is that such a good thing? In my perception, they're not but a weakness for your potential" Xemnas said.
"Oh really? I don't see it that way" Roxas said.
"Actually, I think you're accurate, they're a good thing for you...allow me to give you a demonstration" Xemnas said.
The man with gray hair rise both of his hands, and in a blink of an eye, he summoned a giant dome of red lasers.
"Ha, I could deflect every laser you threw at me, make it more challenging" Roxas said.
"I never said these lasers were going to target you?" Xemnas said.
Xemnas then summon all of the mane 6 at the center of the dome.
"Oh no...dont do it, Xemnas please..." Roxas said changing his attitude.
The superior didn't listen to his ex-organization member and with a simple finger snap, all of the lasers attack the mane 6.
"NOOOOO, STOP THIS" Roxas shouted.
"ROXAS!!!!!! KYAAAAAA" Twilight shouted.
"SPIKY...IM SORRY....." Rainbow dash shouted.
"AAAAAGHH HELP US ROXAS..." Fluttershy screamed.
"ROXAS WHERE ARE YA!!!!! Applejack shouted.
"THIS CAN'T BE....." Rarity screamed
"KYAAAAAA Pinkie shouted.
"STOPP, PLEASE ARGHH" Roxas shouted as he tried to attack Xemnas.
But Xemnas teleported behind him, grabbed his head, and force Roxas to look at the aftermath of the scene.
"Don't you see Roxas? the more you resist us the harder it will be for you to handle the terrible fates of your newfound friends, the clock is still running Roxas your time is fading into nothingness, choose now what's more important to you boy, your make-believe life freedom or the lives of your 6 pony friends you better decide wisely or innocent civilians will pay the price for your actions''. Xemnas said.
Xemnas let go of Roxas and started to disappear in a dark corridor.
"We are also aware of the creature who lives inside you, don't worry someone shortly will help you with that" Xemnas explained
Roxas then ran towards her friends to check on their conditions but they didn't respond.
They were just laying there lifeless, Roxas began to cry he held them tightly in his grasp as he screamed in quiet rage.
The dream ended after that making Roxas wake up with sweat and tears in his eyes so he went to applejack's room to check up on her when he knock on it the door opened revealing applejack alive and well.
'' Uhh...Roxas, what are you doing still up to do you know what time it is right now?'' Applejack asked.
Roxas just pushes her inside closes the door with his tail and hugs her tightly.
'' I'm so glad your okay Applejack''.
This sudden action of Roxas surprise her until she had an idea about why he was doing this.
''Roxas you had another nightmare didn't you''?
'' Yes it was Xemnas, he came back in my head and he killed you guys right in front of me... I couldn't save you guys... you all die...'' Roxas said.
'' Hey hey don't push yourself I'm fine, thank you for checking up on me." Applejack said.
"I'm sorry..." Roxas said.
"Roxas you did so much for my family let me return the favor, I think I could help you with your nightmares.'' Applejack said.
Roxas nodded.
'' Okay come with me Sugarcube I'll make it all better''. Applejacks said as she led him to her bed.
Once she lay down she pats on the empty side of the bed for Roxas to join her when he lay down with her.
Applejack moved towards him and hug Roxas with all her might and made sure that their legs were crossed each other so she could hold Roxas's legs with hers in a leg hug.
After she did that she uses her hooves to stroke and rub Roxas's mane, wings and body. This resulted in Roxas doing the same to her rubbing and stroking Applejack's mane and body with his hooves and wings.
''Why am I doing this...my body feels weird...'' Roxas said in a whisper.
"It's okay, just concentrate on me don't talk too much" Applejack commented.
"You have a very soft body...It feels like I'm hugging a pillow" Roxas commented.
That comment made Applejack feel grateful and glad that her efforts are helping Roxas with his sleeping problems so she thought of another idea that will make the moment more enjoyable for the both of them.
She moves one of her hooves down to Roxas's flank and starts giving it a light squeezing causing her crush to gasp from this attempt of hers.
"What's this...I..."Roxas said beginning to gasp a lot.
''Its alright Roxas trust me'' she said whispering in his ear
Then she started to give him a flank massage making Roxas shake and moan quietly.
''You like this don't you Roxas? you can do the same to me if you want sugarcube I welcome it''. she whispers to him again.
"Really? You don't mind?" Roxas asked nervously.
"Shhh, just do it" Applejack said.
After she said that, Roxas move one of his hooves to her flank and did the same methods she did to him but now to her. After he try it out for a bit Roxas increased his hold on her flank by making his hoof have a strong grip on it by squeezing it even stronger than before and increase his massage speed rubbing her flank a lot faster causing applejack to gasp and moan from it a little louder and says begging-lily
'' Ahhh...Roxas don't stop, I like this feeling''. resulting in her doing the same moves to Roxas's flank making him gasp and moan for the feeling even more.
'' Applejack I...ahhh...this feels so good why?, keep going I need this please.'' Roxas said desperately as he held her
''Don't worry Sugarcube I'm not planning on letting you go anytime soon as long as you too I want this feeling as well Roxas''. Applejack said.
After a while, sleep finally came to them both but they still hold to be held together tightly and continue to rub their bodies and flanks leaving them both having bright pink blushes on their faces as they keep on showing each other's affections towards one another.
