//------------------------------// // Pig Slop // Story: The Lost Cousins // by Ponyrellabellasara //------------------------------// A few day's pass and nothing had changed the friendship of the new fillies. Comet tails and Eclipse easily adapted to the farm work. Big Mac still handled the heavier of the chores, but handed some of his smaller chores. Scootaloo and Sweetie belle had come to visit every day, keeping the secret well, a secret. School was going fine until… "Hey, have you got your cutie marks? I think I see one." Diamond tiara sneered. The class had split into groups for projects. "Oh I see it too Diamond tiara. It's a big fat L." Silver Spoon joined in. "But what does it stand for?" "How about Lame Loser." Diamond said causing Silver Spoon to laugh. "Just ignore them girls." Apple bloom whispered. "So tell us. CML, what's the next big plan to get your cutie marks?" "What do you want diamond tiara?" Scootaloo asked rolling her eyes. "I just wanted to tell you that you should be careful when you head out side to day. I hear that someone has planned to prank you, with an awful joke" Diamond warned. "Why would you warn us?"Sweetie Belle asked. "Yeah and why should we trust you?" Apple Bloom added. "I just thought it far to warn the new blank flanks." "Well we don't need help form you. We can look out for ourselves." Comet Tails noted. Diamond Tiara walked off softly chuckling with Silver Spoon. "I don't get what their problem is." Eclipse stated. "Me neither." Apple Bloom agreed as the bell rang. "Come on Y'all. We have some thinking to do." Together the fillies walked to the door, and before they even took one step down the stairs, something wet and sticky fell down on top of them. Laughter rang out from in front of them. "Welcome to the farm life! New blank flanks. You really do fit in with Apple bloom now. You even got her smell."Diamond tiara laughed. "What did they drop on us?" Eclipse asked the three fillies who avoided the dump. "Pig slop!" Silver spoon answered still laughing at the fillies covered in muck and grime. "Why do you have to be so mean!?" Comet tails yelled running off. "Silver mist wait!" Apple bloom called after her. "What is your problem!? " Eclipse yelled at the two rich fillies. "Yeah! It's bad enough she had lost her family and has to deal with being in an unfamiliar, and all you can do is bully her!" Apple bloom shouted."What have they ever done to you?" "What's going on out here?" Cheerilee asked stepping outside. "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon dumped pig slop all over Silver Mist and Golden Blaze." Scootaloo told the teacher. "Yeah, and Silver Mist ran off in tears. Come on Eclipse lets go find her." Sweetie Belle said taking off followed by Scootaloo, Eclipse and Apple bloom… Apple Jack was raking the leaves by the barn. When a soft cry from the barn grabbed her attention. "What the crab apples?" She muttered to herself as she walked in the barn. Her eyes feel upon the small fillies curled up in the center of a hay stack. "Silver Mist?" the small filly didn't move. AJ walked up to her and laid next her. "What's wrong sugar cube?" Comet tails turned her head slight to AJ. "Two fillies at school dumped pig slop on me. I washed it off before coming in here." She said quietly. "Oh. I am so sorry sugar cube." AJ pulled The small tear-filled filly onto her lap and wrapped her into a hug. AJ started to rub the fillies back, trying to sooth her. She felt something twitch as she continued to rub the fillies back. AJ looked closer and saw two lumps on the filly. "Now I'll be. I have an alicorn filly on my lap." AJ said quietly Comet Tails looked up at the orange earth pony who was staring down at her. "Please don't lock me away in a dungeon!" Comet tails said. "Now slow down there sugar cube. Why in all of Equestria would I do that for?" She asked. "Alicorns are illegal! We…"Comet tails started to explain but was cut off. "Hold on there. Alicorns ain't illegal. Our princess's are alicorns, don't you know that? This is not a bad thing. It's a great thing. You are one of the lost princess's." Comet tails was confused, how could she out of all pony's be a princess. "I don't understand." She shyly admitted. "A few years ago Princess Luna and Princess Celestia gave birth to two beautiful fillies, but a few nights after their birth someone snatched them. No pony has seen them since, until today that is." "But how do you know it's me?" Comet Tails asked. "Because you are an alicorn, and you have your mothers eye's." Apple Jack said now recognizing the blue eyes. "This is wonderful, Princess Luna will be so happy. We must take you to her." "No!" AJ looked at the filly. "Can we wait. This is happening too fast." AJ realized how much there was to take in here, she had no idea what the little filly had been through. "Okay sugar cube. We can wait, but we must tell my friend twilight soon. Okay?" AJ asked the small trembling filly. "Okay." Comet Tails agreed.
