Applejack Alone

by Masterweaver

Look, Cocoa, Ah'm sorry fer avoiden' ya.

Ah was just... embaressed is all. Not many ponies know Ah like that kinda thang...

Ah guess... maybe we can be knitting buddies, if ya like.

Hard ta knit with vines though.

Cocoa, do you ever wonder if... if, ya know... yer a side character in tha big scheme of things? Like, ya were just put here to support somepony else while they did something important, and then there wasn't any good way ta get rid of ya so you just stuck around. Like that, really. That's all that Ah mean.

Ah.... gosh darn it. Ah'm just...

Ah don't know what ta do, Cocoa. Aside from surviving and waiting, Ah.... Ah don't know what ta do.

Applejack! You are not a side character! You are awesome!

This reminds me of a pretty hilarious joke I saw some time ago. It was a screenshot of when the main sx were together, except Aj was replaced by Lyra. The caption read:
Whoops
Wrong background pony

So Ajs giving herself too much credit. Side characters support the main characters, and are important in that right. Aj qualifies as a background character. Insignificant to what happens and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Oh you silly mare Sorry, but the way you spoke last time, it was totally misunderstandable.

But if bored, well give your artistic side a boost, poetry worked good so far, and still waiting for the rest of the names you could sculpture wood if have something sharp, you can even paint if you find things to use as paint, you can sing as you please, no-one to judge you, best think of the whole as a vacation. There is no reason not to enjoy yourself when you can consider all things

Give a hug to coca and be active and full of life, no depression, if we detect depression we gonna deploy the tickle bomb at you, you hear?

You knit?? ...OH ok, that's cool. :)
Also Applejack, your not a side character. Your just as important as anypony else, you hear me.
Well now as to what you can do, and I'm just suggesting here is that you go and make a structure of some kind that will be noticeable from the ocean. I don't mean something impossible, just something .....like a Lighthouse!! Or a light tower, that might do you some good, something to grab attention from the waters.

To Masterweaver:

Hey I was just wondering, is this story of yours going the way you want it to or not. It feels like it went from a third person perspective story from one point of location, and turned into a tumblr page.
Not that I'm complaining or anything, I think that it's neat that your including some of the readers responses into your tale. I was just wondering if anything changed from what you originally had planed that's all.

Don't be silly Applejack, they had a perfectly good way to get rid of you. Why else would there be a freak storm and convenient deserted island off in the middle of nowhere like this?

Why, they even left some hope for a rescue for you as a way to return you if they ever need you back as well! How thoughtful of them.

You are far more than a side character. You're the straight mare. You're the rock, the stable, sane one who keeps the others on an even keel. It's not a glamorous role, but it's a critical one. And it may explain what's taking that band of chuckleheads so long to find you.

Build a raft!
Good luck!

[Bandana The Reaper]

Don't lose hope AJ, your friends will find you, like the time at Dodge Junction.
Be strong AJ... for Applebloom.

Hard to knit with vines? What the heck did you use for knitting needles, that what I wanna know!

Actually, what I'd really like to know is what you knit. A sweater? An afghan?
