//------------------------------// // My Story Part 1 // Story: My Story // by nutcase4real //------------------------------// My Story It was a bright and beautiful day in Ponyville, the grass was green, the sky was blue, and the sun shined brightly and warmly. Applejack was on the farm bucking apples. Rainbow Dash appeared in the sky and landed next to her orange friend. She watched as the sweat on Applejack gleamed in the sun as Applejack turned to her friend. "What's up RD?", Applejack asked. "Oh, not much. Just that Pinkie Pie is throwing the best party ever tomorrow at three o'clock!", Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Really? Well count me in!" "Alright! I'll tell Pinkie that you're coming, and remember, three o'clock, don't be late!" "RD Ah promise to be be there at three.", Applejack said with a wide smile on her face. Rainbow Dash took wing once again. As she was taking off Applejack basked in the wing her friend's strong wings produced. She watched as Rainbow Dash disappeared in the sky and continued with her work after her friend was out of eye sight. The sun finally began its slow decent through the sky. Applejack looked up at the sky and stared at the colors that were on display above her. The sky would soon be totally dark and she decided to call it a day. She hitched herself to the wagon of apples and brought them over to the barn to be stored tomorrow. She walked into the farm house and washed up for supper. She walked into the kitchen and found her granny standing by a kettle of freshly made apple butter. "So granny, what's fer supper?" "Oh I made some soup, and fer dessert I made some apple fritters." "Sounds good to me!" Applejack had worked up quite an appetite out in the field today. She was so hungry that she could've eaten just about anything. She began to set the table, and with help from Big Mac and Apple Bloom, the family was ready to eat in no time at all, as they ate they talked about their day. "Well today, Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, and myself tried to get our cutie marks in painting, but it didn't work.", Apple Bloom said with a small pout. "Oh, don't you worry Applebloom. Ah'm sure you three will get your cutie marks someday, and they'll be the best cutie marks ever seen.", Applejack saaid with sincerity in her voice. "Ya really think so?", Apple Bloom asked, and Applejack responded with a nod and a pat on the head of the young filly. "Well," Big Mac said in his booming voice, "today Ah met a new pony that moved here from Canterlot. Ah asked if she knew anypony around here, but she didn't. She came here for the peace and quiet them city ponies can't seem to find where their from." "Oh, look granny. A regular country Romeo.", Applejack said chided. Big Mac just looked at his sister and after a brief moment laughed along with her, soon the entire house was filled with laughter. "Well today wasn't that much different from any other day fer me.", Granny said with a smile. "Well today Ah was invited to a party with my friends. It's tomorrow and Ah promised to be there at three.", Applejack said with a smile. The family finished eating and Applejack was preparing to help her brother and sister with cleaning the dishes and putting them away. As she stood up she heard her granny call to her, "Applejack, could you come in here fer a moment please?" Applejack trooted into the sitting room and found her granny sitting in her rocking chair. "Applejack Ah know you promised yer friend's to be there at three, but hon I need you to pick up Apple Bloom from school and bring her home.", granny explained. "But granny, I promised to be there at three, and you know me, Ah can't break a promise." "Please dearie. I need you to do this fer me." "But why granny? Apple Bloom knows her way home, and she's old enough to be by herself. Why do Ah have to walk her home?" Granny looked into Applejack's eyes and pleaded, "Please Applejck, Ah have a bad feeling about tomorrow. Please just walk her home." Applejack was furious by this point. She turned and stomped all the way to her room, slammed the door, jumped into her bed, and screamed into her pillow. 'Why? Why now? Why?', Applejack thought to herself. 'I'm going to that party. It's not like granny has Pinkie Sense or anything.' When Applejack awoke the next morning she silently slipped out of the house and walked into town. She went to Sugarcube Corner and knocked on the door. The door opened and Pinkie reached out grabbed Applejack into a bearhug and pulled her excitedly inside. She bounced around for joy while singing to herself. Suddenly she stopped. "You're here early.", Pinkie said with a smile. "Ah know. Ah just thought that you may need some help settin' up is all.", Applejack said as she shifted her eyes left and right. Pinkie knew her friend was lying, but decided not to pressure her, besides she really could use some help decorating. "Ok! So, you start with the streamers and I'll start baking!", Pinkie said with an overjoyed voice. Applejack didn't like to lie, but she just didn't want to explain what had happened the previous night. She got to work with the streamers, and by the time she was finished it was almost lunch time. 'Ah don't know how she does it.", Applejack said to herself, now that she had a better appreciation for what her friend did on an almost daily basis. "The food's ready." Pinkie stated as she bounced out of the kitchen, "Oh! I love what you did to the place!" Applejack felt the slight blush she had and chuckled. She helped Pinkie put up the rest of the decorations and a few games. After they had finished Applejack looked up at the clock. It was almost three o'clock. Their friends arrived together at three o'clock, and the party started. It was incredible, the food, the games, the laughs! This was surely going to be a party Applejack would never forget. The party finally died down and each of the ponies left the Corner one by one. Applejack was the last to leave, but when she did she looked up into the sky and breathed in deeply, taking in all of the aromas that Ponyville had to offer. She gazed at the stars as she slowly made her way home. She finally made it back to her house at what she figured had to be eleven o'clock, but something was wrong. All the lights were on in the house. She went inside to see her brother sitting in the dining room with granny. They both looked at her with a sadness in their eyes. "Is she with you?", Granny asked with a deeply troubled voice. "Is who with me?", Applejack asked with a puzzled tone. Big Mac just looked her square in the eye and said, "Apple Bloom." "What?" "She never came home, and she wasn't with her friend's. We looked everywhere but we can't find her Applejack!", Granny said as she broke into tears. Applejack ran out of the house. She started calling her sister's name, but she got no response. Applejack decided to ask her friends if maybe they saw her as they were walking to the party. She asked Fluttershy first, and she had seen her. She was talking with Spike outside of the school, and they both started off towards Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack galloped at full speed for the library. She desperately knocked on the door, and Twilight answered the door after awhile. "Twilight can Ah speak to Spike?", Applejack said as she was trying to catch her breath. "Um, sure, just a moment.", Twilight said sleeply. "Hey AJ, what's up?", Spike asked from inside the dark library. "Have you seen my sister?" "No. Not today? Why?" "She didn't come home after school, and Fluttershy said she saw her with you." "No, she must have been mistakened." "Spike get out here, and tell me the truth. You know as well as Ah do, that there is no way she could mistaken anypony for you." Spike's breathing quickened, and Applejack heard it. "Spike! for Celestia's sake get out here or Ah'ma comin' in after ya'!" Applejack waited for a few seconds until she heard Spike turn and start running. She bursted through the door and grabbed the little dragon. She drug hiw outside and dropped him in the street. Spike just layed there with his face to the ground. "I didn't do anything!", he said. "Look at me!", Applejack screamed. Spike looked up, and Aplejack just froze. There on his face was a black eye. "What happened?", Applejack asked. "It's nothing. Just leave me alone.", Spike said as he got up and went back inside the library. 'Why would Apple Bloom do such a thing.', Applejack pondered. She decided to ask her that after she found her. Applejack earched all through the night, and the next morning she organised a search party to find her sister. They searched high and low but found nothing. Granny looked at Applejack and said, "You need to get some rest child." "But granny..." "No buts! Go home and get some rest!", granny screamed with tears in her eyes. Applejack could hear the disappointment in her voice. She turned and slowy made her way back home. As she walked she thought she had seen some red near the road. She walked over to the edge and into the woods on the right side. She came upon a patch of familar fuzz sticking out from the ground. She frantically dug. She began to panic, as the form that was buried in the ground was revealed to be her sister. She pulled her sister up from the ground and galloped at full speed towards the hospital. She bursted through the emergency room doors and ran to the desk. She frantically explained to the nurse there what had happened and the nurse immediately called for a doctor. An entire team of nurses and doctors came out of a set of double doors and placed Apple Bloom on a gurney and carted her away. Applejack sent word out to the rest of the town that Apple Bloom had been found. Everyone waited in the waiting room dreading what the doctor would have to say. 'Please be ok. Please, please, be ok.', Appljack thought over and over again in her head. The doctor came out finally and looked at the family with sadness in his eye. "I... I'm sorry. She didn't make it.", he said as a tear rolled down his cheek. The entire room broke down into tears. "I... I know, that this is a bad time, but I need to speak to her family.", the doctor included. Big Mac, Granny, and Applejack got up and followed the doctor into the hallway. "Folks, I don't know how to put this, but Apple Bloom was... violated before she passed." "Violated how?", Big Mac asked through his sobs. "Vaginally and... and anally.", the doctor said as he stared at the floor. Applejack couldn't believe this. It was all so surreal. 'How could this be happening? Why did it happen? Who did it?', these were the questions that flashed through her mind. They just kept flashing and flashing until... everything went dark.
