Day 1: The Accident

The day had started out with clouds lightly scattered throughout the sky. 
What a great day to Applebuck! Applejack thought happily as a small smile appeared across her face, she really couldn't wait to get started. With two empty baskets on her side, she trotted to an apple tree and set down the baskets. She kicked the tree and then waited for all the apples to fall. She then picked up the full baskets and threw the apples in the empty cart, where Big Mac was waiting to pull in a heavy load.
Applejack continued this process until the cart was full. "Alrighty Big Mac! Take 'em to the barn!" she called, grabbing her two empty baskets and traveled in back of the cart to get some more apple trees. She then heard a noise and looked to the back. The back door opened and before she knew it, she saw black.



The sound of beeping welcomed her to the morning. Applejack slowly opened her eyes. Everything was fuzzy, so she blinked a couple times to focus onto a ceiling. She suddenly got confused as she moved her head to the left. Her eyes widened to see Rainbow Dash, looking out the window.
"Rainbow?" she slowly spoke. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened as her head whipped to Applejack.
"Abljack!" (Applejack!) she smiled. Applejack looked to Rainbow confused. She was guessing she said her name.
"Did jyou ssay Abljack?!" (Did you say Applejack?!) Applejack looked to her right to see her other friends Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie.
"Oh Abljack dear, jar jyou oklay?" (Oh Applejack dear, are you okay?) Rarity asked, moving closer to Applejack's bed.
"I...think so. Just, why are y'all talking strangely?" Applejack questioned. All the girls looked to each other confused and worried.
"JI'll go to sa docser." (I'll go to the doctor) Fluttershy voiced, leaving the room. Around a minute or two, the doctor came in.
"Considering what Fluttashy said, she is dust espiriensing an after shock." (Considering what Fluttershy said, she is just experiencing an after shock.) Doctor, room that is not hers, friends looking to her worryingly, beeping; she knew where she was. She was in a hospital.
When she sprung up, a pain appeared in her head, she put her hoof up to her head and felt bandages.
"Careful Applejack!" Rainbow cautioned, quickly helping Applejack slowly lay down.
"May I speak with you all outside so Miss Applejack may rest?" the doctor said, motioning everyone outside. They all went out to the hallway and the doctor closed the door behind himself.
"What is it doctor?" Twilight asked quietly.
"It's about Miss Applejack." the doctor started.
"What about Applejack?" Pinkie Pie quickly asked, bouncing a little in place.
"Well...it seems she is not going to live very long. We tried all we had, but her concussion is really severe." the doctor warned sadly.
"We-Well then how long does she have?" Rainbow Dash croaked, obviously trying to hold back her tears.
"We guess around a hundred days or so." the doctor claimed.
"A hundred days?!" Rarity repeated, tears starting to form.
"That's too soon." Twilight sobbed, letting a tear drop. Pinkie Pie stopped bouncing and her smile turned neutral. All the girls stared, some at the floor and some straight ahead. The doctor left them to check on another patient.
"Come on girls!" Rainbow Dash started strongly. "Let's stay strong for Applejack." The girls looked up to her.
"Rainbow Dash is right. Let's get through this together." Twilight stated, letting one last tear drop. She levitated a tissue to dry her cheeks and Rarity did the same. Twilight levitated other tissues to the other girls and then they all looked at each other. They were determined to make these last days the most perfect of them all.
"When will Applejack know?" Rainbow Dash asked before the girls went back into the room. The girls went quiet, looking to each other. Rainbow was right, Applejack needs to know about this as well.
"Maybe we shouldn't tell her." Twilight proposed softly.
"Well, that's not fair to her!" Rainbow Dash announced.
"Yes, but then maybe she will live her life to the fullest if she doesn't know." Rarity spoke, pondering what they should do.
"But if she does know, then maybe she will do all she wants in her last days. But then if that happens, she might not want to do anything, or might try to just hang around us. If we don't tell her, she'll live life normally and never get to do the things that she possibly wanted to do!" Pinkie Pie rambled.
"Um...I believe we should...um...tell her." Fluttershy put in. The girls looked to each other in agreement that they were going to tell Applejack.
"Let's just not tell her today. She just woke up, so she might not want to hear it." Twilight said and again, the girls agreed. They then stepped into the room to find Applejack asleep. The girls smiled and sat down in the seats. The day was filled with talking, eating, for Applejack mostly, and some card games until the end of visitor hours. The doctor shooed them out as each of the girls said their goodbyes.
