My Story Part 6
Applejack left the library to head home to get a few necessities. As she she walked through the door Granny Smith and Big Mac looked up from the table they were sitting at.
"Well?", Big Mac asked.
"Well what?", Applejack asked while looking down at the floor.
"How's Rainbow Dash?", Big Mac replied with a look of deep concern plastered on his face.
"She's fine. A unicorn doctor was able to heal her up right quick.", Applejack said while still staring at the floor.
"What's wrong then youngin'?", Granny Smith asked Applejack.
"We found Spike at the library. He says that Donut Joe did it, and that he's probabuly out somewhere near Manehattan.", Applejack stated coldly.
"We'll get the rest of the family lookin' fer'im.", Granny Smith said.
"Ah wanted to kill Spike. Ah was sure it was him.", Applejack said quietly.
"Applejack, you weren't thinkin' clearly. After what happened none of us were.", Big Mac said in a comforting voice.
"How could Ah have thought that one of my friends could do something so horrible?", Applejack stated with self hatred thick in her voice.
"Ah don't know. Remember when Rainbow Dash was teriffied of Pinkie Pie because of that dream she had about cupcakes?", Big Mac asked with a small grin.
Almost against herself, Applejack smiled a little and chuckled.
"My point being, that we all make mistakes, especailly when our emotions take over.", Big Mac said.
Applejack walked over to her brother and hugged him, "Thanks Big MacIntosh.", she said.
"Eeyup."
Applejack walked upstairs and packed some things she might need for the trip. She packed a few apples, some rope, and a few other odds and ends. She came back downstairs and searched for Big Mac. She found him out on the front porch.
"You wanna come along this time big brother?", Applejack asked.
"Nope, we missed to much work already. I'll stay here and try to get us caught up.", he replied.
Applejack bid her brother farewell and began to trot towards Ponyville. After she got there she walked over to the train station and found Rainbow Dash and Spike were already waiting for the train. They had already purchased her ticket and Rainbow Dash gave it to her as she approached.
"Ya'll ready to do this?", Applejack asked her friends.
They both nodded and Applejack sat down and waited with them. About ten minutes later the train pulled into the station and the three of them boarded the train and took their seats, each wondering what the future might hold.
"So what are we going to do after we find him?", Spike asked.
"We're going to give him to the Royal Guard, and let them do their job.", Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeah, the royal guard.", Applejack said quietly while staring out the window.
"Applejack?", Spike questioned as he looked at her friend.
"We are handing him over to the Royal Guard, right?", Rainbow Dash asked with a level of uncertainty.
Applejack's expression turned to one of anger as her glared moved from the window to the floor.
A few tense moments passed before she sighed heavily and said quietly, "Yeah, we're givin'im to the Royal Guard."
Spike and Rainbow Dash both released a sigh of relief after that statement. They were willing to help find and capture him, but neither of the two wanted anything to do with harming him. The rest of the train ride went by slowly, with the only sound the three could hear was the sound of the train engine itself.
Rainbow Dash still felt that she had to keep an eye on Applejack if they found Donut Joe, because Applejack probabuly wouldn't be able to control herself if they did in fact find him. Every once in a while she would glance over to Applejack, and she would see that same look in her eyes. The look that you get when you know, you're about to do something horrible.
'Ah have to get'im.', was the only thing Applejack could think of the entire trip. 'Ah have to get'im, and Ah have ta make... him... PAY!'
