A Strike of Black Lightning

Applejack And Applebloom

"I...I" stuttered the unicorn filly, backing up slowly, fear all over her face.
"Oh, I didn't mean to scare you!" said Twilight sympethetically, puttling her stuff down, and slowly approached the trembling filly.
"I need to ask you a couple of questions, but first... What's your name?"
The little unicorn gathered up the courage, and said quietly "Stargazer."
"Are you okay? You had a very nasty fall in my tree." asked Twilight, with a conserned look on her face.
"Yeah... At the moment. Wait, how did I end up here? Where is this place?" said stargazer, with a suprised look on her face.
"Oh gee," responded Twilight, a little suprised," You are in Ponyville, Home to the Elements of Harmony. This is my libary. I'm glad to see you're somewhat okay.. My name's Twilight Sparkle, and I'm a princess. Do you remember anything before the crash??"
Stargazer's face contorted with thought, and she tried to remember, but only met fuzziness.
"I'm afraid not, Princess Twilight." she said slowly. Twilight let out a small chuckle.
"Call me Twilight, or Twi, for short."
"Okay, Twilight." said Stargazer, with a small smile on her face. "Okay, so now what? This strange little town is full of ponies, and I don't know any of them."
"Well," said Twilight, with a smile, "I know quite a few ponies that you'll like for sure. Come on, hop on my back, and I'll take you to them." Hell, things couldn't be any worse, thought Stargazer, as she and Twilight were soon soaring among the clouds.
"Wow!" exclaimed Stargazer,"This is really a great view!"
Twilight smiled, and soon, they were landing, near Sweet Apple Acres. "Well, howdy Twilight. What goin' on?" An orange earth pony, with blond hair asked. Her words were said through a thick drawl, and ahe had three red apples for her cutie mark.
"Hey Applejack!" greeted twilight, as she landed on the ground, next to the earth pony.
"Who Y'all got with you?" asked Applejack, staring at stargazer curiously.
"This is stargazer- I found her last night tossed in my tree, hurt and everything. She has no idea how she got here, or anything." explained Twilight in a concerned tone.
"Oh my, Twilight." replied Applejack, surprised, as she splayed her ears backwards," Who would do do such a thin' to a little filly?"
Twilight just shook her head. "I don't know, Applejack." Applejack turned her attention to the unicorn filly, who was looking around curiously.
"Howdy there. My name's Applejack." She extended a hoof for a hoof shake. Stargazer stared inquisitively at applejack, before she cautiously grabbed the mare's hoof, and shook it gently. "Welcome to Ponyville, Stargazer. This is Sweet Apple Acres, where the best apples in Equestria are grown. Since y'all new here, i'll let ya taste one." she trotted th an apple tree, and kicked it with one back leg. The apple fell in the mare's waiting hoof, and she handed the apple to Stargazer, watching expectantly.
Stargazer looked at the apple curiously, then took a hesitant bite. Wow! she thought, This tastes amazing! Her eyes widened in realization, as she chewed the apple.
"This is delicious!" she said when she had finished. Applejack laughed,"Y'all see? Best apples in Equestria."
"Applejack!" shouted a little filly's voice from behind the mare,"I heard voices. Who is here?"
"Who is this?" questioned stargazer confused. The little yellow earth pony turned to stare at stargazer."I'd like to ask y'all the same question there."
"Applebloom, this is Stargazer. She is new to this town, and how she got here isn't pretty." said Applejack.
"Stargazer?" asked applebloom curiously, turning to look at Applejack. Her red mane twirled with the action, with the pink bow in it. "Yes, Stargazer." replied Applejack, amused.
