Well that escalated quicker than I was expecting.

CSC

Whoa.....

Man... it seems like there's more than just guilt that's afflicting AJ....

CSC

Again with the cracking.

CSC

Eeeesh.........

CSC

Heavy chapter........

Here's hoping this helps AJ a bit....

Well, there it is. Hopefully AJ will have to finally open up to her friends about her guilt... whenever we get back to this point, that is.

To be fair, she just now acknowledged it. =)

CSC

Ohhhh fuck...... poor girl.

My word. Where will this go?

Like it says in the Author's Notes, when those series are complete.

Oh nooooo it will begin after the Anon-a-miss awww😭 well at least that was planned to be completed one way or another I hope this and that will be finished too🙏🥺🥰

Ok so I've fallen for the 'Not Just Any Old Trilogy', and oh my god, I cannot wait for more :pinkiecrazy:

You’re saying I have to wait?!


Quick! Somebody make a time traveling machine!

Jk, but seriously, beautiful work.

The pessimistic side of me says that AJ will commit su*cide, but knowing how most fanfics go, she’ll be fine.

Still, always assume the worst!

I promise you I'll get to it, I just have more than a few stories to finish first. :twilightsheepish:

Was she was a nightmare again, the ending confused me a bit. :unsuresweetie:

"Ma...she...she'd always hum this when I needed to calm...down..." Applejack said, then trailed off. She choked up, sniffled, then broke. She held onto Granny tightly as she wept. "Oh, Granny," she said between sobs. "I-I-I don't hardly know what's real any more! I'm so scared!"

Poor Applejack. :fluttercry:

Been questioning the same thing myself. :unsuresweetie:

Applejack growled. "You know what," she said angrily. "I'm sick and tired of these hallucinations! I know I killed my parents, and I aim to make peace with that! What more do you want from me," she asked as tears began to fall from her face. " Just leave me alone, " she shouted as she closed her eyes, then swung a fist at Apple Bloom. She gasped when she felt her fist connect. She was expecting to hit air, not... "Oh...oh lord," She said quietly as she saw Apple Bloom flat on the ground. She felt sick to her stomach as she ran over to her little sister. "A...Apple Bloom," she asked quietly. She gently shook her, but got no response. She put her head on her chest and heard a heartbeat. "Oh thank god," she said in mild relief. The relief was immediately replaced with anguish, but she powered through it as she picked her sister up and ran back to the homestead.

:pinkiegasp: Damn, I did not see that one coming at all!

Granny mouthed "I'll tell you later." Big Mac nodded and went back to tending to Apple Bloom. Tears began to run down her eyes as she worried about Applejack's mental well-being. She broke and cried with her granddaughter. She cried because this was a fight she didn't think she could help her with. She cried because it was a fight that only Applejack could finish, and from the looks of things she was just about on the ropes. But most of all, she cried because she felt powerless. She hadn't cried with Applejack since the night she lost her son and daughter in law, and that knowledge made her sorrow deepen.

Poor Granny Smith. :pinkiesad2:

Dammit, they're always taken !" Sour snapped. She sighed. "Maybe someday," she said quietly, folding her arms and looking away.

You will Sour, just takes time. I'm in the same boat as you are. :fluttershysad:

"Are you all right," Indigo asked. "Last time I saw you, you were yarfing like crazy!"

Is that even a word? :applejackconfused:

"Are y'all okay," Applejack asked. "Yer all actin' crazier than a tap-dancing armadillo on a barbecue!" the Shadowbolts each gave her a look of confusion.

You get used to it after a while girls. :raritywink:

Sour Sweet nodded. "I had a pair of people who were supposed to be my parents, but they treated me like shit. I...I even tried to kill myself once. I'm also bipolar, and I kinda have a... multiple personality thing !"

Holy shit! :pinkiegasp:

Indigo grumbled, then sighed. "I have Aspereger's Syndrome. It's on the higher side of the autism function scale." She blushed a little. "I kinda got myself in trouble when I frenched a girl on a whim. She fell for me, and I had to break her heart. At least we're still friends."

I see we have 1 thing in common. Bring the autism. :unsuresweetie:

"We got into a couple of heated fights," Lemon said. "And by 'heated', I mean 'fists flying and noses broken'." Applejack gasped.

Damn. :fluttershysad:

Sunny took another deep breath, then shuddered. "I've been through hell, Applejack. I had the most amazing boyfriend any girl could ask for. I ended up..." she trailed off, then blew her nose. "I-I got pregnant in my Sophomore year." Applejack gasped. Sunny looked up as tears fell from her eyes. "I l-lost the child, and was technically d-dead for half a minute," she said as her voice broke. Indigo put a supportive arm on her shoulder, giving her the strength to continue. "Then," she continued, "about a week before the Friendship Games..." she trailed off again, then broke and hugged Indigo tightly as she sobbed into her chest.

Poor Sunny. :pinkiesad2:

"A week before the Friendship Games, my boyfriend and I had a date...and he ended up sacrificing himself to save me from a drunk driver. I tried to kill myself just to be with him..."

Now I see why there was a warning in regards to this chapter! :twilightoops:

Applejack smiled as she finished riling up the bulls. Her parents would save her from the stampede, then they'd promise to spend more time with her! She turned around and sure enough, her ma and pa were running towards her, looking scared. Her smile widened. The plan was going off without a hitch! She opened the door to the pen and taunted the bulls one last time for good measure...then felt herself get pushed out of the way as she heard screams and loud crunches. For a moment, there was silence. Then, Granny Smith let out a shriek.

Oh my god! That explains everything now... :applecry:

Despite this story was darker than I thought I can understand what AJ was going through. :fluttercry:

Is that even a word?

Not that I know of.

I see we have 1 thing in common. Bring the autism.

You're not alone, man. I'm a member of the "club", too! Indigo's personality and experiences are loosely based on my own. :twilightsmile:

Now I see why there was a warning in regards to this chapter!

Actually, it was to keep the plot twists and content of the Crystal Prep Chronicles a surprise in case you wanted to read those stories. =P But don't worry, this chapter didn't give away all the surprises... :trollestia:
