Apple Bloom takes an impromptu bath after a hard days work. She enjoys it until she realises she is alone and there is no one to look after her. Given time to think, she discovers some things.
Inspired by cover art though there are differences for narrative purposes.
NOTES: Haydust is a real thing.
The top of a ponies foreleg is called a forearm, which means that ponies can be said to have armpits. Websearch it if you want to verify it I will brook no argument on the matter.
Chapters (1)
I swear to god Applebloom is masturbating in your cover art. Other than that, this was an alright story.
Keep writing, man.
We meet again, Law of Diminishing Returns. We meet again...

Indeed no she is not. I've checked that picture with the water layers removed, her hooves are resting on her stomach and the u-no-wot hasn't been drawn.
Totally innocent picture
Thanx for the comment anyway.

I am mystified
care to clarify?
3466709 My apologies for any confusion. It's an attempt at a joke that isn't working out like I planned.
I liked how you demonstrated your knowledge by bringing up 'diminishing returns' in your story, as it doesn't seem to be the best known concept around. I was attempting to bring attention to it by pretending it was my nemesis. Again, my apologies for any confusion,
Good story. Keep up the good work.

Other than that I like this story!
Oh hell I see it too!

Doesn't matter, I have imagination.
3466772
Haha okay, you're right, you should bring more attention to the concept. I was actually taught that in primary school so I am somewhat amazed.

Well, enjoy your imaginings, your highness

Thankyou both very much, its nice to know you appreciated it.
3471282 I'm always impressed when people bring up these principles and such. I'm such a dork and its good to have someone understand the same references.
This was really great. It had any and every question I had answered and had plenty of information for a one-shot. Nice
10 out of 10 for slice of life
10 out of 10 for grammar
10 out of 10 for overall story.
1 fav and one like comin your way
This was a really cute story. The writing overall was done well, and you did a great job at describing what was happening. I really like stories like this where a character will think introspectively about oneself. It presents a whole other world of opportunities to write about.
So all in all, good job with this. And because of the end, I have Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows stuck in my head.

10/10 for grammar? Whaaaat? (See below)
3466673
I think those need capitalized. Other than that, awesome.

Actually grammar pertains to the composition and structure of a sentence as well as the syntax and morphology of words. Capitalisation is a spelling issue. So I think I'll keep the 10/10 for grammar.
I've fixed it at any rate.
I capitalise everyponys' name except for Twilights. Hmmm probably something Freudian there.
Hmmm

When I say 10 out of 10, it's not to say his writing was immaculate. It's to say his grammar rarely had any faults and that it didn't deter me from really enjoying the story. No one can be perfect all the time, so I base my ratings on slight mistakes, hence a 10 on the grammar because of very few mistakes. I really only counted 4 mistakes but they really didn't matter in my opinion.
All in all, I say it's very good grammar-wise
Very sweet. It's just a little girl having a bath (in the washing machine!?) and thinking, yet it is so much more. Thanks!

Thank ee very much, I'm very happy to be of service
Finally got around to reading this. Very cute!
The Fluffle Puff reference was hilarious! 
Upvote and fav for adorable Apple Bloom.
That was pretty nice. I liked "soap opera". However, I think if it's going to include a letter to the princess it should be longer.
I bet she'd look so cute like that if I could see it
!
Very good life lesson
.
Not gonna lie, when I saw there cover art, I seriously though that Apple Bloom was doing something...else in that tub, due to the way she was laying in it and the blush on her face
. And the way her hind legs were spread...
.
Aside from that, a very sweet, simple, and adorable chapter
!
That was a wonderful read. :3
This was cute; I liked it.
