Apple Bloom: Sleeping Beauty

by Big Imagination E


The Beginning

You all know the story of how Aurora got cursed? Well in this story you'll see how Aurora adopted a girl named Apple Bloom while trying to rid of the curse. Lemme take you on a trip down Memory Lane.

In 14th Century Europe, King Stefan and Queen Leah have a daughter, whom they called her Aurora. Everyone was invited to the christening ceremony, where baby Aurora is betrothed to Young Prince Phillip, the son of her dad's friend who rules a neighboring kingdom, King Hubert. Stefan and Hubert wanted to unite their respective kingdoms through a future marriage between their respective children.

At the Princess's christening, the royal herald announces the arrival of the three good fairies who came to bless her; Flora (in red), Fauna (in green), and Merryweather (in blue).

But before Merryweather can give her gift to the princess, Maleficent, a wicked fairy and self-proclaimed "mistress of all evil," appears on the scene. Angered at not being invited to the christening, she curses Aurora to die when she pricks her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, leaving everyone horrified about Aurora's doomed future and her frightened mother grabs her infant daughter from the bed in horror. A furious Stefan orders his guards to seize Maleficent, who disappears.

However, Flora and Fauna point out to Stefan that Merryweather hasn't given her gift to Aurora yet. While Maleficent's magic is far too powerful for Merryweather to undo the curse, she does use her magic to soften the curse, whereby, instead of dying, Aurora will fall into a deep sleep that will only be undone by Love's First Kiss. Still fearful of his daughter's life, Stefan orders all spinning wheels in the kingdom to be burned as a preventative, though the fairies knew that this is not quite successful or effective enough against the curse. Knowing Maleficent is extremely powerful and will stop at nothing to see her curse fulfilled, least of all a "bonfire", the fairies take Aurora to live with them in the forest, where they can keep her safe from any harm until she turns sixteen and the curse is made void after which she would be reunited with the king and queen.

Ten years later when Aurora was 10 years old we see the fairies and Aurora living in the cottage still trying to rid of the curse. Meanwhile we see two people carrying a basket with three babies inside and placed it on front of the door. Their were Applejack and Big Mac.

"Are you sure that you have to do this? After Granny passed away?" Big Mac asked.

"We have to Big Mac. I don't want mah Lil' sis being raised where too much danger is happening. We have to be with someone that can protect her." Applejack replied.

She then looked at her sister and started to cry big tears.

"It's okay Li'l sis. Your big sister will help you." Applejack replied.

The baby cried when it drew the attention of Aurora when she went to the door and saw them.

"Oh you poor things. Here lemme get you inside." Aurora said carrying the basket inside.

"Thanks miss." Big Mac said.

Once in she removed the blanket and saw not one but three babies in there. Aurora was surprised by that but at the same time feels sorry for them left out at a young age. Then the three fairies came in and saw the babies.

"Aww. Look at those cuties. Aurora dear where did you find them?" Flora asked.

"They were in front of the door. But they look so cute. Especially the red haired one. Also I met these two as well." Aurora answered.

"Yes they all are cute. But what are their names?" Merryweather asked.

Aurora found the note in the basket and started to read it. "Their names are Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo."

"And im Applejack. This big guy is my brother Big Mac." She introduced.

"Those are adorable names." Fauna replied.

"They sure are. But I think they should stay with us. After all I think I like Apple Bloom here." Aurora said as she took Apple Bloom out of the basket and held her. She cooed and fell asleep in Auroras arms. The three fairies got Sweetie and Scootaloo out and held them close. Then Flora had an idea. She, Fauna and Merryweather will help their goddaughter raise her children in the cottage. At the time they still not have their wands since Flora confiscated them for the oblivious reason. Then while Aurora was singing a lullaby to Apple Bloom the fairies went outside to discuss something. But after they placed the two babies in separate cribs. But Applejack and Big Mac went outside and stood next to the fairies.

"So Flora. What is it that we need to talk about?" Merryweather asked.

"Yeah. What's going on?" Applejack asked.

"Let her explain dear. You'll know why soon." Fauna replied.

"Well we all know that Maleficent's curse is still powerful. Now we have three babies to look after. I think that we should place a gift on each of them to see if they will help their new mother break the curse." Flora answered.

"Who the hay is Maleficent?" Big Mac asked.

"She's an evil fairy with great power of darkness. She cursed Aurora when she was a baby. So we brought her here til the time is right and the curse is lifted." Flora explained.

"Oh. Then I guess it's a good thing we came here then." Applejack replied.

"Yes it is. But Flora their too young. Besides they don't even know who Maleficent is. If they did then she would place a curse on them just like Aurora is." Fauna replied as Applejack and Big Mac gasped.

"Which is why we need to place a gift on the kids. What im thinking is that we can make their bond to us and Aurora stronger than ever." Flora offered.

"But I said that by Love's First Kiss the curse would be broken." Merryweather reminded her.

"Yes that's true. But to protect the children I shall place another gift to weaken Maleficent's curse." Flora said as she took out her wand. "When the kids reach 11 years old, their bond shall grow more powerful and be granted with magic. And if one of them finds love then by True Love shall banish Maleficent for good." She finished and put it away.

"Are you sure about this? What if it doesn't work?" Merryweather asked.

"Yeah. I hope that it does work. I don't want my sister dying in the hands of that witch." Applejack said.

"It will. When the time comes we'll know." Flora assured.

Then they all went back inside to take care of the babies. But they knew that later on they will do everything they can to protect them from the mistress of all evil.
