    "Both." Rainbow Dash looks right at Apple Jack. "what about you, AJ?" She asks casually.

"er..." Apple Jack gulps, forcing herself to focus on answering. "Mares..." She whispers. She looks down at the grass and moves it around with her hoof.

"sweet." Rainbow dash whispers. Apple Jack looks up at Rainbow Dash, surprised. "So I can do this." The blue mare leans over a locks lips with the orange mare. Apple Jacks eyes widen in surprise similar as to how her eyes were last night at the party when a similar event happened. "I've been wanting to do that for months now." Her Rainbow mane blows in the wind, Apple Jack notices.

"You know... This ain't the first time we've kissed." Rainbow Dash looks at Apple Jack confused. "You know when Ah asked you if you remembered last night?" Rainbow Dash nods her head in reply. "Yeah, that's when you kissed me, twice." Instead of speaking, Rainbow Dash bursts out in laughter, relying on the tree to keep her up.

"really? Aw man. I wish i could'a seen your face!" She forces herself up, and puts on a straight face. "But no... Apple Jack. Who knows?" She looks to Apple Jack, awaiting her response.

Apple Jack sighs "Twilight. I asked her for advice not even an hour ago." Apple Jack giggles a little. but immediately stops when she sees Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo galloping right at the two mares. When they are close enough, Apple jack sees that sweetie belle is crying deeply, and Scootaloo is trying her best to hide all emotion. "sweetie Belle? Scootaloo? Wheres Apple Bloom?" Sweetie shakes her head, a sob escaping. 

"The hospital." Scootaloo says, her calmness sounding forced. Apple Jack's eyes widen. 

"s-she... She was hit... by a-a carriage that hit a watermelon." Sweetie Belle forces out between sobs.

"No no no no! ah.... ah...." Apple Jack tears away, in the direction of the hospital, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo follow after.

Apple Jack Sits over the edge of her younger sisters hospital bed, sobbing. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sit in two chairs in the corner of the room, Scootaloo is trying to calm down Sweetie Belle, but to no avail. A doctor walks into the room, a grim look on his face.

"will... Will she be okay?" Apple Jack asked, not bothering to look up.

"30% Chance of living. Very sorry, Miss." The doctor nods his head and leaves the room.

Sweetie Belles sobs become louder, and more consistent. Tears stream down Apple Jacks face and hit the bed sheets. Apple Blooms hair is strewn about, her bow shredded up, still on her head. her eyes shut, fur blood stained. A beep comes from the screen. another beep. another, and another. it continues till its silent, the screen shows a straight line. 

"DOCTOR! DOCTOR PLEASE HURRY!" Apple Jack calls out. "SHES DEAD. DYING, OR DEAD AH CANT TELL PLEASE HURRY!" A doctor rushes in and shocks the fillys chest. nothing happens, just her body shudders. 

"shes to far gone. Please wait here." The doctor sighs calmly as he leaves the room. Apple jack screams out,Sweetie Belle cries so loud, you can hear it 10 rooms over. scootaloo can't keep her brave face anymore, and breaks into deep sob.
