We've Got Her In the Bag

Apple Bloom needed some time outside of the tree house.


She slowly walked out the door, feeling confused. Her friends didn't fight often, the concept of them fighting felt alien to her. More importantly, they never held grudges against each other for longer than a minute,but they'd been sitting in their spots for around an hour, tossing insults back and forth like a game of tennis. It had just proved too much for her. She descended down the ramp and walked over to a tree. it was an old tree, fully grown and one of the best producers too. It was one of the green apple trees which there weren't many of. She felt as alien as the tree would, completely surrounded by red apple trees. Her thoughts were cut short by a loud "ow!" and then a crash from behind.


She turned to see Time Turner, or as he was usually addressed, Doctor Whooves. He got that name from a TV show for young fillies and colts in which the main character looked just like him, even the cutie mark was the same! The show was called Doctor Whooves. Of course the main character was not him, they just happened to look identical.The name has stuck ever since. He was lying on the ground,a sack lying just a few meters away. "What's in the sack?" she thought. "Maybe, I should have a look inside."


Applebloom carefully and quietly inched over to the sack and stuck her head inside. she could see a black box inside the sack. "I should take this box! There could be anything inside!" She stuck her front hooves in the sack, desperately trying to grab the box, but it kept slipping out of her grasp. she crawled in further, pretty much almost all of her was in the sack now. She finally managed to wrap her hooves around the box. "Yes!" she thought, but just then, the sack was lifted and she completely fell in. She saw the top of the sack being sealed and she realized she was being taken, along with the box.She was very afraid of what could happen to her so she screamed hopelessly "Help! Help!" but nopony could hear her cries, the material was too thick. She was trapped inside the sack!


Apple Bloom had been in the sack for a while. She had been jostled around, and had been hit by the box a lot of times. She had lost count of all time, and the sack was almost pitch black inside, she could barely see. If she was blind it would've made pretty much no difference. All she could hear was the heavy breathing of the Doctor as he ran and the sound of his quick hoofsteps along the tightly packed earth. "Where could he be going?" she thought, suddenly imagining a whole different bunch of bad scenarios to be in. She tried to calm down, but there was nothing she could think about to calm herself down.She was in a sack, going to Celestia knows where, how could she be calm?


She could hear his hoofsteps getting slower, which meant he was walking, they were nearly at his destination. Applebloom was relieved, she could finally get out of the sack and go home! But she was wrong. The sack opened, she could see stars in the sky, it was night. She was about to crawl out but then the sack was tipped and she slid out into a hole. She was about to scream "Get me out of this hole!" when a whole bunch of dirt fell on top of her, she was being buried alive!
