This was an adorable little one shot. Just the sort of feel good I needed right now. Well done.
Say...am I first comment?

:eeyup:

(OoC: 'Nuff said)

Apple Bloom snorted through her tears. "Ah'm just imaginin' a heart with a bunch of worms in it."

Eeeeh... I don't find it funny for some reason... Nevertheless, have an upvote.

Raven: Is snickering 'Course it's funny! C'mon, imagine Diamond Tiara's heart!

"Beetles!"

"Spiders!"

"Wasps!"

"Honeybees!"

"Snakes!"

"Flies!"

Raven: Snickers Fleas!

Dr. X: Chuckles What do you think of hornets?

Raven: How 'bout some roaches?!

And then Apple Bloom snuck around and waited for Diamond Tiara to be alone, and she beat her to a pulp. :pinkiecrazy::pinkiehappy:

Wow, short but beautiful. Something similar to this could even be an episode. I enjoyed this a lot. :twilightsmile:

This is a slice of life that rings true. It was so touching I believe I have made liquid pride:pinkiesad2:

Aw... That was so cute! :yay:

So, there was no reason what so ever to break from the established norm of minimal technology. The entire phone conversation wasn't important to the story and only serves to break canon. Just toss that part and slot in something better.

Saw the description and I'm like: WHAT? BUT APPLEBLOOM IS SO FREAKIN ADORABLE!:applecry:
Have homework, so read this later

How dare you only put this story in one group? This needs to be shared!

Short and cute. I liked it. :twilightsmile:

Cute story. Very wuv.

I always love reading cute stories like this. You got the character's accents down, Applejack and Apple Bloom are in character the whole way through, and it's very nicely written.

The only thing I didn't like was when Applejack is mentioned talking on the phone. It's a minor thing, but it just seemed awkward in the context of the rest of the story, considering I could easily see a scenario like this being in an actual episode of the show. Phones, since they aren't canon, just seemed out of place as a result. But that's just a minor quibble. :twilightsmile:

Really nice fic.

How DARE Diamond Tiara speak to my favorite CMC that way?! Oh, she's gonna PAY for it later! :flutterrage:
Thankfully, my favorite of the six is there to help. :ajsmug:
Loved this, by the way, along with pretty much everything else you write. :pinkiehappy:
You characterized them well- at least what I know of.
The Apple Family has always been very intriguing to me, and when I get to see more slices of this apple pie (even if it's just mere fanfiction) I simply eat it up!
Thanks so much for writing it! I await more one-shots of you! :heart:

Sorry about the whole phone tidbit, I'm going to take that out. It was originally there because I was going to have an alternate ending where Rarity ends up coming over after Applejack called her and contributed to the conversation, but deleted it at the last second. :twilightsheepish:

Other than that, I'm glad you enjoyed! :pinkiehappy:

AWWWWW! That was so sweet!
Really, who would think AB as ugly? Let's all kill diamond tiara!:flutterrage: No, jk!

Sequel: Apple Bloom does need a new bow, and now Rarity is on the case!

or not. This was cute though.

:flutterrage: I would mug Diamond Tiara and then pawn her crown. She needs some comeuppance, Karma or something.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and some people aren't fit to behold anything.

Death to Diamond Tirar that is all :moustache:

Applejack you may not be Rarity but you do seem to know about the true meaning of Beauty..and that I salute you :rainbowdetermined2::moustache:

And you dear Author, have now a million moustaches in honour for Apple Bloom and Applejack, good show :moustache:

That cover pic is gonna make me CRY! :raritycry:

3326844 i finished a fanfic chapter of my yu-gi-oh fic.

"SPOILERS" Diamond Tiara gets her ass handed to her by Fluttershy:flutterrage:

Okay So: Honest Review Coming up:

So where to start...at the beggining I guess. The story itself is VERY good. It is a short nice and heartwarming tale. The characters act really the way they should. The conflict itself is just plain great. To me this fic was an aftermath of Applebloom's first confrontation with Diamond Tiara (when Applebloom still didn't know any better). The way everything is written is REALLY good so as the whole fic.

Overall I enjoyed it Liked, favorited it and followed you. I would give it an 8/10 (Great). You really did a great work. Keep it up.

Best Wishes, Zelos.:twilightsmile::twilightsmile::twilightsmile:

No. You are wrong.
Clearly, the correct course of action is to read this first, then do your homework.
Homework is always the last thing you do, of course.

And that, folks, is what families are for :ajsmug:

AJ got off lightly there. I suppose it helps that she's known for her honesty and that Bloom trusts her completely, but I'm willing to bet all my bits that talk doesn't go as smoothly in every instance. Good job, AJ, good job. Very well handled. It's a small thing in the long run, but I think Apple Bloom's learned a good lesson from this.

This is what I call "pure fanfiction". It doesn't expand the FiMverse, it doesn't try to tell some grand tale forgotten by The Show, it shows us a little snippet that might have fallen on the cutting room floor. This story is extremely believable, from the comic actions of the characters to the well-written accents. It fits right into The Show without any suspension of disbelief at all. It is purely a fanwork designed to glorify The Show and its wonderful characters, and it has done so very well.

Have a mustache and a like, good author! :moustache:

3367491 I agree. While most Fanfiction goes and takes a whole new direction of story this is far more believable and doesn't tell a lost tale, like you mentioned this is also very real unlike other fictions

Nice! Let AppleBloom talk her heart out about that horrible Diamond Tiara! Go AppleBloom! Go AppleBloom! Go AppleBloom! :heart::pinkiehappy::raritystarry:

“Ah’m not sure,” Apple Bloom replied tentatively. “Snips says Diamond Tiara is very pretty. But even if she’s pretty, she’s..." Her face scrunched up as she tried to interpret what her sister had told her. "...not always pretty?”

And just why is it so important to you to know what Snips considers pretty, hmmm Apple Bloom, wink wink?

:applecry:

This made me wish I had a sibling :unsuresweetie:

:twistnerd: Awesome fic though! :coolphoto::coolphoto::coolphoto::coolphoto::coolphoto:

*Alondro gets big bag of money from manufacturer* :trollestia:

So sweet. :twilightsmile:

I like the fact that there's still some acknowledgement that looking good on the outside and on the inside are just different, so one can be one without the other, or both. A lot of stories (cliché cartoons) would omit that. The laughing at the bully thing with the heart ridden with maggots is a little bit awkward, but mostly because it's a familiar and very real-sounding scene, so kudos for that.

Not entirely sold on the 'I' being replaced by 'Ah', but that's a personal taste and not a dealbreaker when the story's short enough. The same can be said for some of the style in it, especially when Applejack's wondering what to say and if it had an effect. I'm personally not a fan of how that was written, but again that's not a dealbreaker. It really depends, and it does work here, that's all that matters. Upvoted for good feels and balanced message.

The majority of the story was cheezy as hell, but its all good... got into my favorites list with a thumbs up.:derpytongue2:

Really, this was an lovely story! There are never enough fics about applejack and apple bloom. Really sweet fic.

Pfffft ahaha!!!:rainbowlaugh: mold!!:rainbowlaugh: such a cute fic

so loving so loving so loving so loving so loving

One of the many reason why aj is worst pony

6616518 If you hate AJ so much why did you click on the story?

Hey I just did a fanfic reading of this https://youtu.be/IhbCGHsDsfA :ajsmug:

This was cute, and so very, very truthful. Well done. I felt privileged to read it.

I DESPISE Diamond Tiara for this, Applebloom's design is the best out of the CMCs, she's the leader and has confidence that i could never have...

We're going to gang up on Diamond. :pinkiecrazy:
