//------------------------------// // Explanations // Story: Ponies in the Storm // by Ryanjri //------------------------------// "Crap, um, I'll be right back." I gave a long, worried look to the lightly breathing form of Applejack in my closet. Rainbow Dash and Rarity didn't look to pleased with me. I left after I realized I was staring. I raced down the stairs just as my parents walked into the door. "Hey Mom, hey Dad, how was work?" "It was OK, how was your day?" My mother replied. "OK,whats for dinner?" "I'm not sure, what were you thinking?" "Anything will do, just call me when you decided." I quickly ran upstairs leaving behind my confused mother and a rejected feeling father. "My day was pretty good..." He said. As I acceded the stairs I hear the ponies talking in my room. I kreept to the door to listen. "Applejack, what's wrong dear?" That voice was unmistakeably Rarity's. "Nothin." Applejack replied with an angry/ sad tone in her voice. "Bull pie nothings wrong!" Rainbow Dash blurted out, as sensitive as she ever was. "Applejack, please tell us. Were worried for you." Fluttershy whispered. She sounded like she was about to cry. "Well, it's just tha-" Applejack started to reply and then stopped abruptly. I could hear hoofsteps. I wondered what was going on, I wanted to know what the problem was too. And then the door opened and I fell on my freaking face. My ass was sticking in the air and I looked like some yoga buff doing a version of the dog stance or whatever it's called. I looked up from my "exercise" and noticed 5 pairs of shocked eyes looking at me, along with one pair of unimpressed green pupils right in front of me. "Um, howdy?" Bad choice of words in hindsight. "Ah.." she seemed at a loss for words. At least I wasn't alone in the department. Finally she spoke. "Yall know what, I don't even care! Come on in, I'll tell you too" She walked into the room and I followed, completely disregarding the fact that I was just given permission to enter my own room by a orange pony who seemingly had the upper hand. "OK Applejack, I would like to know what I did because, frankly, I don't have a damn clue." I won't lie, I was a bit pissed. Partly because she was mad at me for a reason that I believed didn't exist, but mostly because she opened the door that displayed my elegant performance. Applejack had a hint of anger in her voice too, but I didn't care. "Listen sugarcube, yall didn't do nothin. I'm just a might homesick, and Ah guess Ah just sent that your way. Ah'm sorry." She sounded honest in her apology, which is kinda expected from the element of honesty, but whatever. "Oh, well then, um, apology accepted?" The other five let out a breath they had been holding for some time in a chorus of relief. At that moment the door opened.
