Applejack
Comprehension ~ Day 2

Applejack stood over the remains of the shattered kitchen table and the shredded poster, lungs heaving as everypony else looked on in shocked silence.

WANTED FOR MURDER

Macintosh was gone.

BRAEBURN APPLE

Aunt Orange's marriage broken.

100,000 BIT REWARD

Fluttershy missing.

DEAD

It only took one day to tear apart her family.

OR

And she couldn't do anything.

ALIVE

She could smell the smoke from her dream. It burned her nose with its acrid stench and choked her lungs until she couldn't breathe. In the dream it was the Everfree Forest that was burning, but that was just a dream. Now it was her home.

"I..."

Had she ever seen Rarity look that scared before?

“I...”

Or Granny Smith speechless?

“I...”

Thank the Goddess Applebloom isn't back yet.

"I’m sorry, I... I think I need to be alone for a minute..."

She walked out the door on bruised and unsteady legs, with the smell of smoke heavy in her nose.

I still got to finish digging that ditch.

[hauntu4ever]

Short. Sweet. Needs more.

[StormyVenture]

So short... More please?

[Quylaa]

I think it's unanimous. More please?

[Deus]

Could be that the chapter is so sort to add emphasis to Applejack not being to take it all...

More please.

[Csquared08]

Hm. I have to say that I think the short chapter was fitting. Well played.

I guess I will say that was a compliment... Now off to being impatient for a new chapter. Maybe I'll try to work one my two fics so I don't get yelled at for another month of wait for an update.. Hehe..

1571189 Holy shit! I can't believe it took me so long to figure out to read the vertical letters. You deserve a round of applause for that.

As for your question, stick around and you'll find out.

[NinjaBrony43009]

What the hell is this? You've done so well getting an emotional response from me, and then you go and do this? Are you serious?

Quite an eventful chapter.
