Chapter Two

Is it just the people your related too?/Or is it something else?


“Ma!” cheered AJ as she saw her mother run into the ER waiting room.

“Oh thank Celestia!” Rose dried, her tears moistening her cheeks, “When the messenger told me my daughter was at the hospital I ran here faster than a jackrabbit with coffee.”

“I’m fine, Ma” AJ assured her mother as she tried to escape the inevitable death hug.

“I can see that, but that leads me to my next question: Why’re you here, Sugar cube?” questioned the rose colored mare.

“Well it all started when I was heading back to the stall…” the orange filly started before relaying the events that led to her current situation to her ma.


Beep… Beep… Beep…

‘What is that sound’ Rainbow thought to herself.

She was surrounded by darkness and laying on something other than her old couch cushion. It was too warm and comfortable to be the lumpy discarded seating.

‘What happened? The last thing I remember is…’ she asked herself before the memory of falling replayed in her mind, ‘Am I dead?’

She sure didn’t feel dead. In fact, she felt a sharp pain in her head, an unpleasant but efficient sign that she was still among the living. Maybe it was dark because she had her eyes closed or something to that extent.

‘Well, it’s worth a shot.’ she reasoned.

She slowly opened her eyelids to find her hypothesis was correct and she wasn’t six feet under. Her pain momentarily forgotten, she lifted her head to look around. Upon doing so she became very dizzy and her head promptly fell back on to the soft surface it had been on before.

“I see our little patient has woken up.” said a friendly voice.

Rainbow was still disoriented to see what the pony looked like but the voice appeared to belong to a stallion.

“Took a tumble on the sidewalk this morning, I heard.” he reiterated, “I have two sons about you and your sister’s age. The same thing happened to my younger son, Caramel, last year.”

“Wait, did you say my sister?” Rainbow asked for clarification.

“Why yes, I did.” The doctor replied.

“Sorry sir but you must be mistaken. I don’t have a sister.” RD explained.

“Oh, I apologize. When she brought you in earlier today I presumed you were related.” The doctor apologized, “Well, either way, she and her mom are in the waiting room, well, waiting for the ok to take you home.”

‘Oh no.’ Rainbow cringed inwardly.



Deleted Scene: Apple Family Reunion


"Sorry I can't stay, AJ." Rainbow told her sister apologetically, "If it's any consolation, I'll be bored out of my mind at the weather meeting."

"I understand, Rainbow." the orange mare empathized with her sister, "'Cause, I know you love the family reunion and you wouldn't miss it less you had to."

Rainbow nodded in agreement.

"Say hi for me!" her cyan sister exclaimed before flying off to the weather center, leaving her namesake trail in the sky.

Beautifull story! When comes the next chapter?

And here I thought I had an original idea with my "Friends and Family" storyline.

You're writing fanfiction. Hard to get really original when writing stuff for our pony-rific pals. Just try to make your writing style your own and you're in the goods. However, I think you'll be more interested my other story, My Unexpected Gift.

Well so far that one's proving to be an interesting read, but at the time I was certain the sister interpretation of Appledash was something unexplored.

2323035
Sorry, but even I got that from somepony else and expanded on it. Though, I have actually expanded it over the course of several stories.

2323047
Well if I can't be original at least I can know I'm in good company.

2323056
Well, the pony I originally got the idea from deleted the story. That's why I started writing this in the first place, to replace the prequel to my work.

Hey can I have a link to Give to Good Home.

2350078
Nope, it was removed. Deleted. No longer exists.

3768830 ...i forgot what Give to good Home was about now...40 weeks is a looong time :rainbowlaugh:

I'll sum it up for you. Rainbow Dash is found, taken in and, later, adopted by Applejack's mother, Rose Apple. Applejack and Rainbow don't seem to get along very well and, for the majority of the story, Applejack seems even a bit angry at her for unknown reasons. It ends with Rose dying from an unnamed disease that she has apparently been battling with for a while, and the two fillies, in wake of this tragedy, make amends.

3772736 wow....now I kinda want that re.-written, it sounds like an awesome story! Why was it deleted?

3775062
Not a clue as to why, but I'm trying to fix that with the story. I plan on introducing Applejack's father, John Apple, when I actually pick up my notebook and do the transfer. I imagine some varying amount of family stress, not a whole lot of unexplainable sibling strife. It will eventually turn into that, but not for at least another five chapters.

3775767 yeah...when is this fic updating anyway?
