Blooming love

Chapter 10 - laughter is the best medicine

It was a typical day at school, and you were looking forward to the final lesson of the day - music. You loved music, and your teacher, Miss Cheerilee, was always making the class fun and engaging. But as the final bell rang, you noticed that Apple Bloom, one of your classmates, wasn't in her usual seat. You asked Mrs. Harvest if she knew where Apple Bloom was, and she mentioned that she hadn't been in all day.

Feeling a bit concerned, you decided to head to Sweet Apple Acres after school to check on Apple Bloom. As you walked, you could hear Aero making snide comments about Apple Bloom being absent. You ignored him and travelled to Sweet Apple Acres

When you arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, you found Apple Bloom lying on her bed, looking pale and miserable. She told you that she had been feeling sick all day and didn't have the energy to come to school. You could tell that she was really struggling, and you wanted to do something to make her feel better.

You decided to make her some homemade soup, something you knew she loved. You quickly gathered the ingredients and headed to the kitchen to start cooking. As the soup simmered on the stove, you sat with Apple Bloom and chatted with her, trying to take her mind off of her sickness.

After a while, the soup was ready, and you brought it to Apple Bloom's bedside. She gratefully accepted the steaming bowl and took a few sips, closing her eyes in appreciation. "This is so good," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

As Apple Bloom finished the last drop of the homemade soup, she let out a contented sigh. "That was absolutely delicious, thank you so much!" she exclaimed.

You smiled and chuckled. "Anytime, Apple Bloom. I'm just glad you enjoyed it."

To lighten the mood, you decided to tell her a few jokes. "Hey, did you hear the one about the apple farmer who walked into a bar?" you asked, grinning mischievously.

Apple Bloom's eyes lit up with amusement. "No, I didn't! Tell me!"

You launched into the joke, your voice rising and falling with the punchline. Apple Bloom laughed heartily, her eyes sparkling with delight. She even clapped her hooves together a few times.

You felt your cheeks flush with embarrassment, but you pushed on. "Okay, okay, how about this one? Why did the apple join the gym?"

Apple Bloom giggled. "I don't know, why?"

"Because it was feeling a little corny!" you exclaimed, laughing at your own joke.

Apple Bloom burst out laughing, her mane fluttering with her mirth. "That was so bad, it was good!" she exclaimed, wiping her eyes with her hooves.

You grinned, feeling pleased with yourself. "I'm glad you enjoyed them. But I really should be getting home now."

Apple Bloom nodded, her smile still wide on her face. "Yeah, me too. Thanks for the soup and the jokes, it was really fun."

You hugged her quickly. "No problem, anytime. Get some rest, okay?"

As you walked home, you couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. You had made Apple Bloom laugh, and that was all that mattered.

When you got home, your mother was waiting for you in the kitchen. "Hey, how was your day?" she asked, a warm smile on her face.

You told her about your day, including your encounter with Apple Bloom. Your mother listened intently, nodding and making sympathetic noises. as you sat down to eat dinner. "And I'm sure your father would be proud of you for being kind to her." she said.

You felt a pang of sadness, missing your father. But you pushed it aside, focusing on the present.

After dinner, you went to bed, feeling content and happy. You had helped your friend, and you knew that you would see her again soon.

As you drifted off to sleep, you smiled to yourself, thinking about the jokes you would tell Apple Bloom next time you saw her.
