//------------------------------// // Reuniting // Story: The Green Apple // by EncoreTheBatpony //------------------------------// Applejack walks down the hall to her room carrying Verde in her mouth. In her mind she was wondering what pony had made such a gross mask. 'I'm in trouble.' Verde thought to himself as he was being carried. walks into her room and closes the door. She then Tosses her head back and by her own sheer awesomness it lands on her hat rack. SHe then trots over to her bed and sets Verde down and looks at him. "Land sakes, a thang like you would just freak Rarity out.” laughs a bit at the thought Verde was scared now, he was hoping that she wouldn't turn him around because she would see a green glow from his inside. She picks Verde up between her hooves and looks at him "Yeesh, she could have just gone to Pinkie-Pie if she wanted a mask for her play thing with her friends. I don't know why she picked this thing" Applejack said aloud as she flipped Verde around and looked at the back "Nothing here to even hold it to the face" Verde's backside then emits a green glow from one end to the other. 'Oh no...' Verde thought. Applejack's eyes suddenly widened and her mind started to get kind of fuzzy. She then absently started to lift Verde towards her face. 'NO NO NO! PLEASE NO!!!' Verde screamed mentally as he got closer to her. Though Applejack continued to bring the mask closer to her face. It was then though that there was a loud knock on her door and Applejack snapped out of the trance. "Huh? Wha?" "Sis y'all ok in there? It got quiet in there." Big Mac asked through the door "Oh yea, I am just fine." puts the mask aside and shakes her head. "Just a little tired I guess" 'Oh thank Celestia' Verde though as he got set down. “Alright then. Goodnight sis” Big Mac said as he trotted off to his own room. Applejack gave one last suspicious look to the mask and then she laid down on her bed and turned off the light. Within a few minutes she was snoring. Meanwhile with Applebloom... The little filly is pacing back and forth, wondering what she should do. She had to get Verde back from her big sister without her noticing. "I know I should wait till she is asleep and sneak in there and grab him" She thought aloud. Applebloom waited a few hours until it was really late and the house had gone silent. She then slowly opened her door, dressed in a black outfit that she had from when she and the others had tried to get their cutiemarks in being ninjas....it had not gone well. She then slowly started to creep towards her sister's room. She went prone and scooted closer to a table in the hall for cover. ‘This would be so much cooler if there was background music’ she thought as she continued to creep, using the shadows to hide in. She finally reached her sisters door. Loud snores could be heard through the door. Slowly, ever so slowly she pushes open the door and sneaks in a quiet as a mouse. making sure to keep to the wall and remain hidden Verde is laying on the floor next to the bed silently snoring. Applebloom sees Verde lying on the floor. She then takes a very deep breath and crawls over on her belly, inching closer and closer. Applejack then mumbles in her sleep and turns over, then goes back to snoring. Keeps inching forward, trying to be as silent as possible. Finally reaches Verde, she gently grabs the tip of him with her teeth and then slowly starts to scoot back into the shadows Verde then slowly wakes up and sees Applebloom trying to get him out, and he stays silent. Crawls back into the shadows and smiles with triumph as she makes her way back to the door without making a sound She makes it out of the room and quickly but silently, goes to her room. Quickly closes the door and lets out a huge sigh and holds Verde in her hooves* “Are you alright?” He lets out an equally huge sigh. "Yes, she saw my green glow and almost put me on." “Green glow? What is that?” "If you turn me around and look at my inside, you see a green glow which puts you in a trance to put me on." "Wow. Then I better make sure I do not do that." "Yet, if you ever want to put me on sometime." Verde says, then lets out a big yawn. "I still tired and don't you have school?" Realizes, "Right, I do" Looks at the clock, "And it is already super late." Trots over to her bed and sets Verde on one side of the bed against the pillow and then gets on the other side. "You alright being on the bed?" "Yes, its so soft thank you so much Applebloom. Good night." She smiles at him “Goodnight Verde” She then turns off the light and goes to sleep. They both then fall asleep with Luna's moon high in the night sky.
