Secrets of Spike

Applejack

And not only did Rainbow Dash save me, she also helped the Cutie Mark Crusaders rebuild my scooter. Now wonder she's the Element of Loyalty."

Rainbow Dash read this and started tearing up a little.

"Y'all starting to cry a little, there Rainbow Dash?" said Applejack, jokingly.

"Uh, no." said Rainbow Dash, wiping her tears. "Liquid pride, totally different."

Applejack took the diary and looked at it. "Let's see what else this says."

"Now that I've talked about Rainbow Dash, I should move onto Applejack. She's probably one of the best friends a pony (Or dragon in my case) could ever ask for."

"Aw, shucks." said Applejack.

Like Rainbow Dash, she also saved my life, but I already talked about that before. A story I can talk about though, is one involving her hat.

Jiminy Cricket leaped on the floor and looked at the diary. "I remember this one!" He said. "Spike did a really good deed that day. It was also the first day me and Spike met."

"He's right." said Applejack. "Ah'll never forget what that little feller did that day."

Spike was walking in Sweet Apple Acres. He noticed an apple close to falling. He bumped the tree which caused it to fall in Spike's hand. He happily munched on the apple, but then another apple fell on his head. He looked up, but then shrugged. He was about to bite the apple again, but another apple then came down on his head. He walked away from the tree and too another one. A few more apples then fell on his head. He looked confused but then saw Applejack running around bumming her head on a bunch of apple trees. Spike also noticed Applejack didn't have her hat on. Spike walked over to Applejack.

"Hi...Applejack...?" said Spike confused.

"Hi, Spike." said Applejack running around frantically.

"Are you okay?" said Spike.

"No!" said Applejack as she began to bump her head on another tree.

"Where's your hat?" said Spike.

"It's GONE!" said Applejack as she began to pace back and forth. "My hat! Ah was picking some tough apples and then Ah fell and hit my head! And when Ah got up, my hat is gone!"

"Don't worry, Applejack." said Spike. "I'm sure you can get a new one."

"Ya don't understand!" Applejack snapped angrily. She then stomped into her house, frustratingly.

She slammed the door which caused apples from another tree to fall. Spike heard muffling from the pile of apples. He walked over and removed a few apples which revealed Jiminy Cricket. "Whew," said Jiminy, getting out of the apples. He looked up and saw Spike. "Oh!" said Jiminy. "You must be that little dragon, Applejack told me about!"

"Who are you supposed to be?" said Spike.

"My name's Jiminy Cricket!" said Jiminy. "I moved here just a few weeks ago."

"My name's Spike." said Spike as he and Jiminy shook hands. "So, since you're here with Applejack, do you know why she's acting like this?"

Jiminy sighed. "It's not a pretty story." He said. "The hat she wore, belonged to her father."

"And what happened to her father?" said Spike, nervously.

Jiminy tried his best not to get teared up. "Applejack's parents...died in a terrible storm, just a few months when Apple Bloom was born."

Spike felt his heart sink. He felt pretty bad of what he said to Applejack. "And that hat is the closest thing to her parents right now?" said Spike. Jiminy nodded.

"Man," said Spike. "This really bites for her." He sat down next to the tree, but then noticed something floating down. It was the hat. "Applejack's hat!" Spike said. He then realized. If Applejack was working up in the trees, she must've lost her hat up there. "I gotta return this!" said Spike. He then ran inside Applejack's house as Jiminy watched.

Applejack was on her bed looking up at the ceiling. She had no idea what she was going to do. She then heard something.

"Applejack," said Spike. Applejack turned and her eyes widened when she saw Spike with the hat. "I'm sorry I didn't know earlier, but I-"

Spike didn't finish as Applejack ran to Spike and held him in a big hug. "Apology accepted, Spike." She said, smiling. Spike smiled as he and Applejack shared their hug. Jiminy watched from the window, smiling as everything was now alright.
