//------------------------------// // The Box // Story: My Best Friend and Worst Rival. // by prototype-pon3 //------------------------------// What was in the box only made her cry even more, inside of the box was a ring and on the ring it said, "For now and forever" in cursive. As soon as she saw this she couldn't stop crying, she cried for the rest for the day, when she finally got herself together she went home. While walking home it started raining, hard, but she didn't care, the only thing she could think about was Jeff. As she walked home she noticed that the clouds began to clear, she looks up and see's a blue Pegasus, with a rainbow mane, but she took little notice and kept walking. That's when the Pegasus noticed her, she cleared the rest of the clouds and flew down to meet her. "Hey what's got you so blue?" she asked, Applejack kept walking, "Hello? you in there?" she kept trying to get her to talk, Applejack looked at the mare and said "I lost a friend, and I found out that he." she held out the box in her hoof, "oh I'm sorry to hear that" she said in a voice of sadness, "it's alright" she said about ready to cry again. "Hey don't cry, I'm sure this guy meant a lot to you, more then I can ever imagine but ask yourself, would he want you to be doing this?" Applejack looks at the box and then at the mare, "your right, he would want me to move on. But he was my only friend." she said, Rainbow dash looks at her, "Well if you want I can be you friend." Applejack looks at her, "You really mean that?" she asked in a voice mixed with happiness and sadness. "Yeah, I'm always looking to make new friends" she says as she smiles, "Thanks you kindly" Applejack says through tear filled eye's. "Anytime, now what do you want to do?" she asked, "Well I guess I should drop this off at my house first, and then we can do something." "Alright I'll be waiting right here." "OK I'll be right back" she runs home and puts the box in one of her dressers, "I'm sorry Jeff, sorry I didn't see the signs." She goes back to the place she met the blue mare.
