Apple Bloom couldn’t bring herself to do it. She dropped the axe at her hooves and began to unlatch the captive.
“What are you doing?!” Applejack shouted as she whipped Apple Bloom around from the table.
“There has to be a better way than this!” Apple Bloom shouted back as she returned back to unlatching the pony.
“I knew you were weak,” Applejack shouted as she tossed Apple Bloom to the side away from the table, “If you won’t do it, I will.”
Applejack picked up the axe and was just about to drive it into the stallion’s skull when Apple Bloom tackled her. The force of Apple Blooms tackle sent Applejack tumbling into the shelf holding the various jars and utensils. Applejack was showered with glass and knives, cutting her in various spots. She was just about to stand back up when a large jar came rolling off the top of the shelf and came crashing down on her head, knocking her out. Apple Bloom regained her composure and went back to untying the stallion.
“Quick, go to the police before my granny gets anxious and comes out here to see if we’ve finished,” Apple Bloom instructed the pony.
He wasted no time to listen to her; he bolted up the stairs and fled the cellar. After he left Apple Bloom drug Applejack to the center of the room and tied her to a support beam then locked the cellar door to prevent Granny Smith or Big Mac from coming in to see what she had done. She sat down beside Applejack and waited for the police to arrive.



The police arrived within thirty minutes, just in time to catch Granny Smith and Big Mac trying to break into the cellar with a shovel. Granny Smith, Big Mac, and Applejack were all arrested and sent to a home for the criminally insane. Apple Bloom was sent to live with her cousin Bab Seed in Manehatten while also attending therapy twice a week. Sweet Apple Acres was shut down for further investigation and the ponies in Ponyville had to find another way to get food. Apple Blooms family was now split apart, the farm was closed and she was now leaving all of her friends and the place she had called home for so long. She sometimes wonders if she made the right choice.
