Epilogue
"The Beginning"
Journal Entry #1
Nurse Redheart says Twilight won't make it.
I guess a part of me knew this, but I just didn't want to accept it. Now I'm gonna have to.
My leg is gone. The doctors had to take it away, it was too damaged to save.
The doctors have me in a wheelchair now, they say I might not walk again.
I'll never be able to walk through the grass again. never feel the ground beneath my hooves.
I'll never be able to buck another apple tree.
Applebloom and Spike are in the mental ward now, they may be there a while.
I don't know what happened to Scootaloo.
I haven't seen her since the real guards showed up and separated us all.
Trixie comes to the hospital every once and a while. She mostly visits Twilight though.
I always see her enter her room with some kind of gift, usually flowers.
And then I see her leave with tears in her eyes.
Sometimes, I sit here in my hospital bed and think about whether or not we did the right thing.
What if I had said no, back in that barn?
Zecora would still be alive.
I'd still have my legs.
But Pinkie would have still been out there.
I still remember when they took her body down from her "noose".
The smile on her face.
The blood on her dress.
It still haunts me sometimes.
I have to leave here.
I know that Celestia won't be happy once she finds out we've disobeyed her.
Heck, she may know already.
But I can't let her hurt me.
For Applebloom's sake.
I'm thinking Appleoosa.
Big Mac should still be there, hopefully he's forgiven me.
We'll be able to start all over again.
Make a new life.
Maybe I'll even be happy again.
So here I am.
Applejack.
The last remaining Element of Harmony.
And I know that no matter what happens to me.
No matter what happens to Twilight.
I still have the book.
