Could have used some more padding towards the middle, and a bit mor suspense before the ending, but overall nice little story.
Also, poor Twist...
CONFOUND THAT FILLY! SHE DRIVES ME TO EAT CHERRY APPLE PIES!
Wonderful story! Just a few minor mistakes like "A clubhouse she would never again."
I assume that was supposed to say "A clubhouse she would never see again." Other than that, great story!
Can I have a piece of pie? :3 Very cute story
I enjoyed this a great deal! Have you considered continuing it? It could prove to be very interesting I think. My only complaint is that I think you could fill it out a bit more and have a few more chapters.
It's just so cute.....
D'AAAAAAAAW
Nice work! Thumbs up for sure!
A wonderfully done story that does a good job of capturing the feel of the series. I could easily see a story like this happening as part of the show. Well done!
Also, Cheerilee also grows young minds, so there is that.
Awww. Sweet little fic.
Now, I've got a hankering for some cherry-apple pie.
2052398
JonTron video dude!
Keep using them
Awww, ain't that sweet?
This is a really cute story :)
Congrats on the feature~
2052887
Feature?
I'm unaware of any feature.
2052911
Seriously?
Man, sucks when you get featured and you never see it...
Congratulations, mate! Hope you keep writing stuff like this!
This was a truly adorable fic here. I think you did pretty good on having her overreact. It was something sweet in the end when she made the Cherry-Apple pie. :)
Very cute and well done
I can imagine Apple Bloom with a cherry blossom cutie mark in a few years, maybe a few more cherry trees too.
... Dammit, now I want something cherry based for a dessert... Damn you, Applebloom! I'M ON A DIET! ; ;
I feel like this could be longer, or have another chapter, but it's good enough. You seem to alternate between "Apple Bloom" and "Applebloom," the former being the proper. There were a few forgotten capitalizations and such, but overall, I like it

I only recently learned the right spelling of Apple Bloom and I'm still getting out of the habit of writing it as one word.
Beautiful story! Very ad'awwwwable!
It was a dark and stormy day... the Featured Bar was swarmed by Clop-Fics... all hope for a piece of literature that emulated the show it was based on were nearly lost... and then...
This came.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like Sherman coming out of the closet?
2052683
Oh my god...
I've made myself well known by using Jontron clips...?
YES!
Hi -
Loved the concept, thought the writing was fine - why didn't you have her get her cherry cutiemark right after the instant of realising she'd grown her very own cherry tree?
JoE
Very nice story.
Although I was sorry we didn't get to see more about Twist.
A few spelling errors:
"grown big enough to bloom and bare his first fruit." - bear
"to show Applejack she could work the fame." - farm, I assume
"Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle stood around, board," - bored
good story Ill go recommend it... Please try my own Mordane Sronghoof.
congrates on feature btw
This is an absolute genius idea. I love it!
Now to read this. I'll get back to you on what I think.
Very adorable story, I love it!
Got here from the featured list. I'm almost dissapointed it's only one chapter.
2053687
To be perfectly honest, it never occurred to me to have Apple Bloom earn a cutie mark out of all this.
Now that I think of it, it could have made it so much better. Now just a cherry tree but a cherry cutie mark, that would have really upset Applebloom and made a much cuter ending.
I wonder if a rewrite is too late
It is an adorable story. I'd have liked to have seen the cheery tree twist hidden a little better (for instance, not putting it right in the description).
And Twist was ditched almost as fast as she was brought into the story, I didn't enjoy that. But this is good and I plan to check out englishwitch's other stories.
Oh! If Sherman is Apple Bloom's baby (metaphorically speaking)... does that make Sherman Bloomberg's first cousin once removed?
2053783 Please don't. The CMC getting their marks should be epic, a sonic rainboom level event. Giving Apple Bloom her mark won't make the story better, it would take away a lot of the story's charm.
2053918
Agreed, don't do it. May want to fix the Twist bit though.
You know, you should be a writer for the show. I would love to see this as an episode. It's got all the makings of an actual episode.
2054078>>2053813
Well, after some consideration, I decided you're right about the twist.
It's changed. Not significantly I'll admit. If I think of something better I'll write it in later.
2054086 And that's the sort of writing we need more of. It's wonderful that this was featured.
2053642 yeah, I've been wondering about all the clopfics. Maybe it's January making people feel the loneliness?
Friendship is cherry trees. Also, still a better love story than Twilight.
It's refreshing to see this in the sea of rather...intimate fics. It's nice to see something so pure and written so nicely. It really does seem like an episode that could be seen on the show.
All in all. Good work there Champ.
2053654
I didn't see it the first time I read it, but now that I look at it again...
I'm actually glad I didn't see it the first time, it would have ruined all the fluffy awesomeness that is a properly written Applebloom story.
Sherman's in good hooves....
Awww, what an adorable fic! I loved it! Totally favoriting this one!
It could use more proofing/editing. Good short.
I sort of knew something like that would happen along the lines of Sherman not being an apple tree, and Apple Bloom would be one to blow things out of proportion.
All in all, a very nice fic
2053783
Don't be sad! There are many good reasons to have written it that way in the first place - to have it be a straightforward 'slice of life' story, for starters. Also... it's not clear to me that Applebloom would be happy with a cherry-farming cutiemark, and so far, ponies we've seen seem to enjoy their cutiemark destiny. In short, having her cutiemark then is probably a slightly different story than the one you wanted to tell.
Yours,
JoE
With the feature bar full of drawn out epics and tear jerkers, it's nice to get a nice slice of life story every once in a while. Good pacing, heartwarming lesson, and you even managed to feed my head canon that Twist lives with or is related to one of the flower trio. Just make sure to take your time when proofreading, there's still quite a few errors and missing words peppered in.
2056914
Well I guessed it was canon Twist is related to one of the flower trio when I was watching a few old episodes and saw Twist lives in the same building Rose uses as her flower store.
I call it canon that Rose is Twist's mother.
I even popped it in a blog entry with photo evidence.
discovered-a-ponyville-family
In truth it's the reason Twist had a cameo in the story. originally Apple Bloom was just going to buy the tree from Rose, but when I saw that Rose's store and Twist's home were the same place, I decided to stick her in.
