This is a story Based on Apple Jack and Inspired by the Story "My Little Dashie"
A non brony with a tragic back story, and close to have given up on life, finds one little pony that will change everything and bring joy back into his life. With little knowledge about My Little Pony must now learn about the show and take care of this little orange pony. This pony teaches him about something he has forgotten from when he was younger a "happier time" he always called it. Join him as he becomes a brony, and learns about love and life!
I got a spell checker: "JakeTheRake." Go nag him ti get it done. :) This is a story I wrote two days after I read my favorite story "My Little Dashie". I'm not trying to copy it at all I just thought I might as well have something to do in my free time of which I have a lot of. I'm hoping that no one else made something like this as well. I wasn't going to publish this anywhere because the more I thought about it the more I thought I would just get hate, but might as well put it out here in hopes someone will be entertained or so. Anyways enjoy!
Working on a remake, I shall remove this mess when I remake it completely.
As I stepped outside something caught my eye. The box from earlier. "It can't be the same one from before...." But it had the same symbol though...The one that looked like some apples...they look so familiar but where did I see them? I decided to just ignore the box and how it got there until it moved... The boxed...Moved on it's own? It's not possible but there was nothing to move it.. no wind strong enough let alone a wind. There's no other soul here...or...is there? I finally pushed myself to go over to it and open it. I saw something orange was it a doll? Left by some little girl who lost it on this miserable planet? No....Dolls can't breath....And it was breathing...
Just another morning same as every other day. I got up, got dressed and left for work. On my way out I saw some dark clouds in the sky. I thought to myself “Great it's gonna rain." I got in my car and left for work on my way there though I was halted by two rows of cars with passengers waiting impatiently for the train to get out of the way. That damned train always getting in the way before work I never really hated it, in fact I liked it. Because now I always have a excuse for being late since my boss went with me three times and eventually just left earlier however now's he's a bit more bossy but I can deal with him. Anyways I looked to my left and saw a box. just a normal box nothing different from any other box around these parts, except it was to perfect looking and it had a symbol. From what I could see it looked like it had some apples on the side. For some reason it looked so... familiar. Something from the internet I believe. I get images from when I was younger. I see myself grabbing boxes and then bringing to my little red wagon and then to my house when I had enough. I would build box forts when I was younger. That was a happier time though. Then images of my parents surge through my mind faster that lightning. I quickly push those thoughts to the back of my mind including the box but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't stop staring at it.
It wasn't anything different from any other box but... that symbol why did it look so familiar. I pass it off as my inner child wanting to grab the box and hide in it like when I was a little lad. The train passed by, I saw the other drivers fling their arms up in joy. I laughed...It had ben a long time since I last laughed it felt good but as everything else in my life it only lasted a few seconds. "Back to reality." I sighed slowly. I finally got to work. My job wasn't the best I could get but it wasn't bad just boring especially for a 16 year old as myself. It pays well, well it pays enough for me to save since we got that new senator bloody bastard. My boss isn't really strict and the other workers there aren't really that bad or strict either their pretty nice also. Some of which though are "Bronies" I'm not one myself but they don't really bother me. They do try to get me to watch My Little Pony from time to time but not enough for me to hate them though. I don't really care what people like or think it shows they have opinions and can think I like that in people unlike a certain senator. They're also a bit older than me which makes a creepy that they watch a show meant for little girls. After work they asked me if I wanted to hang out with them. I declined but made an excuse like I usually do but this time to avoid them seeing me again I took the back entrance.
As I stepped outside something caught my attention. The box from earlier. "It can't be the same one though, it had the same symbol that the other one had that looks like some apples. They look so familiar I remember it from somewhere but where did I see it? I pushed the box out of my mind and decided to leave it there. Until it moved. The box moved on its own. The wind couldn't have done it for; there was no wind today surprisingly enough, especially since it had been windy all this week. There wasn't a soul here... or was there? I decided to open it when my mind couldn't comprehend it. I thought it was a doll left there in a box that some little girl had left by accident, but then I saw it breathing.... This wasn't a doll it was orange with a mane color of which I couldn't name the color of. Then I knew what it was. It was one of the ponies from My Little Pony.
I didn't know which one it was I only knew 2 Ponies from the show Rainbow Dash from the My Little Dashie FanFic and Fluttershy from a song I saw on YouTube. The pony was breathing and looked out of this place and not from this part of tow or country or this planet for that matter. Too Bright, too colorful, and too.... 2d? She was both 2D and 3D but when I moved my head around it would move like in a 3D world it’s hard to explain but not as hard as it was to explain this! I was gonna get those brony guys to help but I remembered I made an excuse saying I had to leave as soon as possible I didn't want to hurt their feelings but also I saw them leave on my way out. I had no friends well, at least not anymore of which to tell them about this. I abviously couldn't tell anyone about this they wouldn't believe me until I showed them but then when I did then they would probably tell the authorities or something to see this just for the fame especially around these parts and I couldn't let her go through several experiments that would be suffering for her and me for the guilty of knowing I had just let her go into such a place.
In my mind I was thinking too fast and I get out of there and headed for home it's a Saturday so it'll probably be a bit more lively out, luckily I know a shortcut so It'll also make it easier to get by unnoticed. I finally got home it felt like an eternity. I then put the box down and pulled out my keys and unlocked the door, but just my luck, I dropped the keys right on the box. I stayed silent, still at the same time too slow. I can feel my heart pounding incredibly fast, I felt like yelling but that would attract too much attention something I'd prefer NOT having right now. Plus I don't want to wake up the little pony. I can't just leave her out here for it was far too cold and the possibility of someone else seeing her. I decided to pick up the box with her in it careful not to wake her up and bring her to my car. Going as fast as I can to my car I open the door and easily put her in it, the I slam the door realizing my stupidity "Damnit I can't keep this up.!" I yell realizing that yelling isn't going to help either. I curse under my breath and get in the driver's seat and quietly close the door I put the keys into the car and I felt an overwhelming shock come over me when I turned the keys. The car wasn't working.
I'm following some elements from "My Little Dashie" this is one of the other reasons why I didn't want to publish this it's so similar to My Little Dashie I felt like I was copying it. I'm not of course, anyways I hope you like this. If you spot any errors feel free to tell me I'm sure I have a lot of typos -.- oh well. Enjoy!
Hooray fixed grammar and spelling problems in this one!
~Chapter 2~ I tried five more times until I gave up and looked inside the hood of my car. When I opened it a huge puff of black smoke came out.
"JUST GREAT!" I screamed
Forgetting about the little orange pony in the car and the attention I could've gotten, but luck was on my side, no one was close by to hear it so that's good. I remember the orange pony and go to get her out. I opened the door slowly, painfully aware that there was nothing I could do to get my car fixed because of this orange pony. I got her out and closed the door quietly and make sure to lock the doors of my broken down car.
I got out of there and headed for home. It's a saturday so it'll probably be a bit more lively out, luckily I know a shortcut so It'll also make it easier to get by unnoticed. I know the shortcut from another time when I was running from some thugs trying to get me thankfully I was able to get away and get to my house I finally got home it felt like an eternity. I then put the box down and pulled out my keys and unlocked the door, but just my luck, I dropped the keys right on the box. I stayed silent, still, and tried to think of what to do next. Everything around me fell silent not a sound not even my old broken down house and it's damn creeking was even making a sound. It was as if the whole world around me just faded off, it as so strange it was as if my life just moved some where different, to a new dimension.
"What is going on here?." I thought to myself but somehow it was so....quiet to hear myself think. I was brought back to life when I heard the box. Every thing sprung back to life my house was making it creeks I heard my neighbor leaving, I heard the wind....
"Wait... It wasn't windy minutes ago... " I said to myself quietly
I then remember that the orange pony was awake in the small box. I then saw dents burst out the side of the box until two holes appeared. The box nearly tipped over from the power of the kicking. I managed to come back to reality again and got closer to open the box. I opened it. Inside was the orange pony looking scared and confused, but ready to fight back if necessary. I'm sorta at a loss of words but I managed to sputter out. "Um... hello?" She looked frightened now probably because of my size compared to hers. I said "It's ok I'm not gonna hurt you. Come on inside it's cold out here."
I saw her loosening up, so I picked her up and brought her inside. She did squirm a bit until I put her down. She looked at me with trust but still ready to go on the offensive if necessary. I started to notice her more she was shivering so I grabbed the blanket I used to sleep in last night then I put it on her she did kinda flinch until she knew that her head was poking out.
I didn't sleep well last night because the couch wasn't exactly the best place since it was cold and was pretty hard almost like a rock unless you're sitting down.
Anyways I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything good I could give to her I can't really think of much that she could eat. She's from a cartoon, she's a filly, and as I was thinking about what she could eat and couldn't eat, I looked in my fridge and saw it was empty besides some sodas, but those are drinks and not food. I looked for some food but I only saw the drinks and some crescent rolls. Not only would the crescent rolls take too long to cook I also don't know if the dough would be good for her to eat. Although that's a stupid thought of course she can't. I began thinking where close by food would be. I remembered the apple tree outside.
"That wouldn't be bad would it?." I said quietly.
I went outside and grabbed an apple when I came inside and looked at the orange filly, she was asleep. For some reason I was tired too. But then again, I did have alot going on that made my heart pump fast. I went to the other couch laid down and fell asleep. How I managed to go to sleep after all this crazy stuff happened is beyond me. I woke up maybe three hours later? Anyways I felt something soft, warm and moving slowly. I opened my eyes and there I saw was the orange little pony and she was sleeping right next to me.
"She was probably cold and uncomfortable." I said in my mind. Although I knew that wasn't the reason I just wanted to make up an excuse for this. She looked so peaceful and warm. So cute..... Then I felt something I hadn't in a long time. Happiness.
"Why, why did he have to die?" I heard slightly. By that I could tell something was wrong.
I went to the living room I saw Mom crying. "What is it Mom? Someone hurt?" I said knowing it was much worse.
"No, your father was killed in an accident!"
I was awoken from that nightmare. I looked down and saw the orange pony I need to find out what her name is. I remembered that the ponies could talk in the show. So when she woke up when I was getting up I decided to wait and ask her when she was more awake. I asked her if her sleep was good. She nodded.
"That's good to hear." I said.
"Are you hungry?" I asked.
Once again she nodded. I told her to stay in the house while I went to get food. It must've been around 6:30 so not many people were awake I went to the apple tree that was in my front yard I grabbed one and saw something orange close by It was the orange pony. She scanned the apple and ate it right out of my hand like in a cartoon. She then looked at the tree. She must've seen the apples because she tried to jump up and grab them. I felt bad but before I could pluck more down for her she kick the tree. Next thing I know I've got several apples falling on me. The orange pony chuckled and came to me looking guilty.
I chuckled she was so cute. “It’s ok.” I said chuckling still.
She smiled and brought an apple to me I started eating it while she ate the other apples that fell when she kick the tree. How did she do that? Usually I had to pluck them one by one and most of the times they are kind of hard to pull out, but she just kicked it once and more than thirty of them fell down. It's obvious that she loves apples, but what is her name? I remember those brony guys saying the name that had "Apples" in it. I got the name but forgot it in less than a second "Apple J-" is all I could remember from that. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't remember the rest. I remembered it was Sunday so I didn't need to go to work. I have Sundays and Thursdays off.
I'm gonna need to do some research but I can't do any with her around. I remembered from My Little Dashie what happened when Rainbow Dash learned about being from a fictional show. But then again it’s better if I tell her but that'll have to wait till she's older. Afterwards I brought her inside. She looked more awake and aware now so I asked her what her name was. She just sort of stared at me, until I realized she can't talk yet she's still really young after all.
"Can you talk yet?"
She shook her head.
"Well that's ok, don't worry."
She smiled. I was a bit disappointed though that she couldn't tell me her name So I can properly address her. Later that day I tried to see what all she could do. Well she's fast, smart, and strong. She obviously loves apples, and from what I can gather she's honest. I'm sure I'm going to have to teach her but that shouldn't be too hard. I've never been too interested in having a son or daughter but the more I think about it, the more I see this strange orange pony, the more I see her as my daughter….My family.
It was close to a year later, my mother left me at my grandma's house leaving me with "I'll be back in a week."
I was watching TV and my grandma had left. She said I'm gonna get McDonalds honey. I was over my dad but I was still a bit weak from it. Anyways while I was watching I was flipping through channels when the news came up.
"Today at the river close by the- " I wasn't paying attention for where it was I dropped an oreo but then when I got it I paid attention to the news again.
"A female was pulled out of a car crash. The female was examined as-" Everything went dark around me I dropped everything I had in my hands everything fell silent. The 'Female" was my Mother.
Well it's Monday I told the orange pony to stay inside and try not to be seen and that I'll be back in a couple of hours. She nodded. I had to walk to work today since my car wasn't working. When I was walking to work I saw the Bronies I quickly remembered my plan and rushed to him.
"Hey guys I decided I wanted to try watching the My Little Pony show you keep trying to get me to watch." I said
"Nice to see you finally trying to watch it any specific reason why?" The Blonde One asked.
"Well you've been wanting to for a while so I decided I might as well try it." I said "Anyway for us to watch it today during work?" I asked nervously.
"Well do you have a lot of work?" the Black haired one asked.
"Not a lot I got a lot done yesterday surprisingly since I was pretty tired that day."
"Well then, we should have enough time to watch a handful or so it's on YouTube fortunately." the Blonde Said
While watching it I was surprised by it. It was really good. My favorite episode was episode 16 season two. I was mightily surprised by how non girly it was. I just thought of Bronies as well, odd people who watched the show for some sort of reason. I know the characters names and their attitudes; Rainbow Dash is the blue rainbow colored one, with the “I’m the best!” attitude very loyal though, Fluttershy was nice to every animal and anything living, with a shyness that makes me go “Ahhhh”, Twilight was the smart one bounded by friendship, who stands up for what she believes in, Pinkie Pie throws parties for new people and for anything, and has a happy attitude tries to makes everyone smile, Rarity who’s generous and loves making dresses, a strong “Needs to be clean.” OCD, and Apple Jack. Nice, honest and loyal loves apples and a bit arrogant. For some odd reason this show brought me comfort.
Anyways enough of that I got home and I saw Apple Jack she was just sleeping so calmly. So I tried to be quiet but I failed in doing so I opened the door and went inside and knocked down a can of coke, it hit the ground and was loud. Apple Jack lifted her head, startled, until she saw that it was me. She came to me and jumped onto me like a dog in a movie that was happy his master was there again. I held her and hugged her. Finally after all this I accepted the happiness instead of throwing it to my side to die like the rest of the planet, knowing I would only feel pain a few seconds later. No this time I embraced it, and I haven't done this since before my parents died...I smiled.
"When I came back he-" I stopped listening to my grandmother I couldn't bare to....
"That's just awful! He was there by himself with no one there to comfort him, knowing his mother had died just moments ago!" The nurse said.
"Poor child he only has his grandma left now. Well for now at least..." The other Nurse said.
I didn't wantto listen. My grandmother found me crying I told her why she couldn't bare it. Years later she was checked into the hospital with a brain tumor. It was cancerous and could take what was left in my life that kept me here. But even I knew she wouldn't make it.... Why does this happen to me, everything is so depressing and hard Why am I still alive should I even be alive I asked myself......
A year had passed since then I taught her how to talk, and how to write (although she used her mouth she wrote better than me), and how to make apple pies like in the show. She asked for her own room I did start thinking aobut it and thought "Why not?" We both painted her room. Me with my hands and her with her mouth, She wanted what else? A room with painted apples all over her walls. I must say she can paint apples well, I just painted the room color while she painted apples on the wall. the color was Orange with red and green apples on the wall.
We started to grow some more apple trees after I saved up some money I bought some dirt and seeds and now we have a little apple farm. It's not very big, but for the size Apple Jack is she doesn't seem to mind. She does seem like she wants more than my house to run in, so I told her I would save up on some money and we could move to a big field with no one else around. That would take a while but then she talked me into making a apple store I did and we are getting more cousomer's than I thought, so that'll help.
We sell homemade apple pies, apple sauce, apple shakes (Which is like a milk shake but with apples), and of course apples. Well after a long day of collecting apples and making apple pies and a bunch of ideas for apples (most of which didn't work but Apple Jack didn't seem to mind.) we were both tired. In fact she crashed before she could get to her room. So I carried her to her room and laid her down, pulled the covers over her, and on my exit I heard her say something. Something...I haven't heard since I was young.... Since before my parents died..... "I love you Pa." Apple Jack had said on my way out. I stopped and said "I love you to Apple Jack." I left the room....I was now smiling more than the day she jumped onto me and we hugged, more than when I saw her sleeping next to me those many months ago.... Most of all.... I smiled more than when my parents said it to me.
Sup Mates. Been working on this for a while and it may seem stale right now but I have that for a plan close to the end. Btw thanks for the support and stuff. If you want to contact me and get a fast reply My youtube channel is the best place to do so. I have a link on my profile.
~Chapter 6~
I was put into therapy after my grandmother had died I was just in this blank stage I didn't think about anything, I didn't feel anything, and I didn't want to do anything. My grandmother was all I had left and now she's gone. I thought about myself 4 years later in my house alone dead.... With nothing to love in this world "Why should I be alive." I thought to myself. "Ok I'm gonna ask you some questions and you answer them. Ya got that?" The therapist said. "Yeah..." I said quiet enough that I thought she didn't hear me.
My little Apple Jack thinks of me as her father. Was this Karma coming to give me something to care about?
A day later we worked on selling more apples We saved and saved money until we saved around 600 dollars from the apple store and from what I saved from my job before I met Apple Jack, was around 2,300 $ and from what money I have added together with both of those equals around 23,000 $. I told apple Jack we almost have enough money to go somewhere for you to run around and for a bigger apple farm. She smiled at me, she's always smiling such a positive pony.... Maybe I should learn from her. I know now that she is indeed my daughter. "I can't wait till we move Pa." Apple Jack said. "Same here We've almost saved enough money to move out." I said And we were. I couldn't wait either a huge open field just for my daughter, an apple farm to make money with My Little Apple Tree Kicker, Alone No one else just me and her. We could make the rest of the money in a month or so I didn't tell her this I wanted it to be a surprise.
~~~2 weeks later~~~ Today was her birthday. We celebrated, she seemed pretty happy "Was I bringing this enjoyment?" I asked myself. Anyways We had apple cake another apple food we made at home, It was meant for celebration mostly around here. I got her a cowboy hat like from the show she loved it. I also got her other things but she loved the hat most of all. After we celebrated her birthday I brought her to her room, she, still wearing her hat and laid her down and tucked her in, again she said "I love you Pa." Every time she said that, I had a smile on my face. I haven't felt something like this for so long.
After yesterday I had to go to work. On my way out I noticed things around me were more....positive? It's always been a downer around here and so negative but something is here that is making it positive. I wondered if it was Apple Jack being here from a more positive realm or something. It makes a bit of since but I'm not sure the more I think about it the more I think it's probably just because I haven't noticed much since I was always down in the dumps and didn't really notice life around me moving on. In fact when I look in the mirror I look different I don't know what it is though. Until I realized..... It was because I was happy. Everything wasn't sad..... everything wasn't so dead around me. I have Apple Jack to thank for that.
After work I saw that my car was fixed. My boss was there and told me he fixed it because I've been working harder than usually. I asked him how he got into my car because I had locked it. He replied with "I found your keys by your car I kept them until you wanted them back, keep these next time and don't lose them." My boss had seen it was there for a long time and asked me about it so I told him it wasn't working and I don't have the money to fix it. That was pretty nice so I said thanks and shook his hand. And went off to my house. The seats were fixed and so was everything else. I can't believe someone did something like this, like I said though everything was getting so positive around here but I think it's just because I never really noticed anything around me.
When I got home Apple Jack wanted to know what I was in. She never really was outside since I didn't want someone to see her that's why I put a tall fence up so no one would see her, but that's all she really get's to be outside. I explained to Apple Jack that we can't let anyone see her because she was a "special" kind of pony that others would want to do terrible things to but I think she knew the real reason why. Anyways I told her that having this car fixed was great since it would cost us around 400 dollars less. That scrapes the amount we need down to 700 Dollars. That made Apple Jack pretty happy knowing she would be able to go outside freely and that we could have a huge farm of apple trees.
The next day I went to sell stuff at our apple shop and we sold enough to leave. I took all the money from the cash register there since if we're moving then I'd have to take this shop down since I wouldn't be able to sell anything here. We had 750 dollars in the cash register, and from what I sold there came up to 200 dollars. that leaves us with 550 left over money, and because I was saving money for electricity and taxes we now have 4,670 dollars and from we needed to buy a house we have 20,000. Look at me here thinking about math when I should be thinking about our new house.
After that I went home I told Apple Jack that we had enough money to get the new house made. She was bouncing off the walls happy. Same was I. I can finally give my daughter what she finally needed, an outside place not cramped and a place for her to be happy at. I can't believe I am causing happiness, let alone feeling it.
Hey Guys sorry I haven't been writing lately but I've just been busy with school, life, and other stuff. Anyways I'm still working on this don't worry I still write a bit by bit when I get the time. I had the time but now I don't. But still I am working on this story and promise to you guys and myself that I will finish this. Besides my favorite part for creativeness is coming up.
~Chapter 7~
The therapist showed me pictures that just looked like black blood spewed all over a wall. My thoughts were just and only in the sea of darkness, nothing matters I always thought to myself. She asked me questions also, stuff like what do I do at home or something I don't care for. I went home later and saw some thugs when I tried to go around where they are, and yet, they followed me. The thugs then said "Where's your mommy and daddy?'' in an extremely annoying voice. I know these kids from school well when I went to school at least and they weren't the average kids they were a team of wimps from society just feeding off the pain of others to feel better about their pathetic selves. When I told them to piss off they started to push me around. I finally snapped and punched one of them so hard they fell down. After that the other guy punched me, and I of course fought back but with one versus four, it's obvious I'm not gonna make it. I was taken down, beaten and left there to die. I woke up and it was late at night. I saw blood around me but just ignored it, I went home and collapsed. Trying to get back up but couldn't. I was facing the doorway and saw two figures and half of a third one. I saw them with saws and sledge hammers I finally felt something in my back it was a sharp pain but I finally passed out.
After we moved out we had started work on planting trees and making a store somewhere in a town far away from here. Apple Jack was just running around the huge open land she looked so amazed and happy at the new land. She as just running and running. We had dinner and we exercised a bit, and it was then night time so we had to go to bed to wake up early in the morning so we could get to work on the farm again. She went up to her room and I went to mine.
She said "Pa, you're the greatest dad in the world....and I love you." "You're the best daughter in the world and I love you." I think that was the first time I called her my daughter to her, because she had this happy look on her cute face. "She isn't a filly anymore." I told my self. I did start to wonder though what would happen when she got older. Maybe she wouldn't be any different and, maybe she would. I did have one question when should I tell her she's from a fictional show or wait is the show fictional? Are these characters fictional? I have one of the cast here on earth sleeping in her room in our house. Is this all real? While thinking about I drifted off to sleep.
~~~4 years later~~~
We've been selling apple products for a while and we didn't have to pay a whole lot for electricity, taxes and so we have a lot of money but we're not rich of course. We've made a barn and we have a huge field of apple trees. The people in town are nice and pretty happy and love our apples. My life was completely switched around for the best. I hoped it wouldn't change but something happened. I came home and heard something that made me freeze in my tracks. I remembered something from the story "My Little Dashie"....It was whenever Dashie found out about she was from a fictional show. What I heard was My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic playing in the living room. It had been 4 years since I had last watched it. But I know who is watching it. Apple Jack was in the living room watching the show. I came inside and she looked at me. She had been crying I could tell. "Pa...." Apple Jack said with a struggling voice. "Am I really from this show?" She said sounding ready to burst into tears. "I...." My eyesight was blurred by the tears, in the time Apple Jack me and apple jack had lived together we had never argued nor had she cried. "ANSWER ME NOW!" She yelled angrily. She had never raised her voice to me I almost lost it, but I maintained myself and muttered "Apple Jack... We need to talk about this." I explained everything to her, while doing so I couldn't help but think about My "Little Dashie". I explained how I found her and how I had watched the show to learn about her and how to raise her and answered any other questions she had. She stormed upstairs and into her room. I was shaking with shock and I couldn't think straight. I felt warm tear roll down my cheek. "I... I'm... a monster..." I didn't bring happiness to Apple Jack why I thought I did all these years is ignorant. No, I caused a great deal of pain to Apple Jack. I started asking questions to myself. She is my daughter, but does she think that way anymore? Does she wanna be around me? Does she still love me? Most of all did I still love her?
When I woke up I saw blood and my house in ruins. They had attacked me and my house. I felt pain. I felt around my back there was a knife in it. I didn't worry for my house, nor did I worry about my fatal wound. I can't move. Soon I passed out with a huge surge of pain. I saw a light. Now I'm not one to believe in god, but I do have my own beliefs and what I believe in is when you see the light it's just you being born again but, without your memories. If you wake up before you are born then that means you were revived and someone else's soul was put in it. Or when you wake up the baby dies. However I wasn't born again. I woke up in a hospital, with no one in the room. When I came clear with my mind with what all had happened, I knew why no one was here. No one was alive and no one cared. I didn't care if I lived or died anymore. Why should I if no one cared about me or if there was even anyone I knew to care for me.
The next day I woke up on the couch I decided to go upstairs and apologize to her for keeping this secret form her for too long. I went upstairs and opened her door. I didn't see her I saw a note. I froze but quickly knew I needed to read it. It said "Happy Birthday Apple Jack!" I had wrote that for her birthday last month. Instantly I knew, I still loved her, whether she did or not. I noticed a wet spot so I looked on the back and there I saw it Apple Jack handwriting, well mouthwriting to be exact. I read it out. "Pa..." I almost burst into crying. I read on. "I'm leaving... I don't know when or if I'll come back..." I fell to my knees. What it said was. "Goodbye..." The wet spot was a tear from her. I ran out of the room, I didn't care for anything I only had the images of my beloved daughter Apple Jack. I noticed when I walked in that her handkerchief was missing. She used it to hold food.
I left the house and ran to look for her. "She out there I'm going to find her!" I said to myself. I then remember everything I did for her and everything she's ever done for me. I'm not losing the rest of my family! I looked for a good 6 hours and eventually laid down to take a rest. I felt bad, this was time that I needed to use to find her. Against my thoughts I forced myself to rest, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go on. I rested under a tree. I saw an apple and decided to take a bite. "Might help me. After all I need some moisture in my mouth to dry." I was about to take a bite when I thought to myself. "Why is there an apple here there's not an apple tree for a couple of miles. It then hit me quickly that Apple Jack had to of passed through here. And dropped one of her apples without knowing.
I got up and looked for another 3 hours and returned home. In hopes of seeing her again at the house waiting and sad. I was wrong. Apple Jack was no where to be found. I felt another wave of sadness splash against me. Apple Jack...Where are you...I...I....Love you. Why didn't I just tell her sooner. How could I be so ignorant! So idiotic... I'm...I'm a monster. I caused this to happen to me. I flung back out of real life. I was wrong I'm not a monster. It was my fault and god damn it I'm going to fix it! I searched for 4 days. Nothing was found no clues even. That whole "She's out there and I'm going to find her!" was fading with every hour. I laid on my bed and remembered the farm was needing tending to. I didn't give up on Apple Jack. I knew I would find her...eventually.
I needed to pluck some apples so I went out to get some ready. We do own a shop. I didn't care if Apple Jack didn't think of herself as my own I still did. I went to the far end of the apple farm to pluck some apples. While doing so I started thinking about Apple Jack. I hadn't cried about her for a while over will I couldn't cry I knew I was going to find her. Although every hour removed another layer of courage and hope of finding her. I knew she wouldn't survive on this pathetic planet full of nothing but hate.
While thinking more about her I soon found myself wet on the face. Had I been crying? No, it was raining. I think there was one last layer and it was fading faster than an hour. With all the sadness and one weak layer it would break soon and I would give up. Something was stopping me from looking for he before that. Some presence inside me not giving up holding the layer up from giving up. He too would give up though. The rain was pouring hard. It reminded me of the layer of sadness it with holes and cracks in it letting the water come in and drown the presence inside me. I needed to find her. But...I can't stop and can't move something was keeping me here.
I decided to get under the tree and rest. I started thinking about Apple Jack. Finding her in the box, her first birthday, giving her her first bath, feeding her, playing with her, and mostly I remember her raising her voice to me. Such hatred from it and it was the final blow. While the water busted through the last layer and carrying the presence with it.
"Apple Jack.....I'm....So.....Sorry..." "APPLE JACK PLEASE.....I'M SORRY...PLEHEEHEEASE COME HOME FORGIVE ME!"
I was crying. I was feeling something I haven't felt in a while....Sadness.
I heard some rustling. I looked around and there I saw the orange pony.

You all made this happen and I thank you.
Next Week Chapter 10 Harsh Reality?
I was released from the hospital a few months later. Why bother anymore with life.
Everything around me seemed pointless. Why bother anymore with life.
Nothing had a point anymore. Why bother anymore with life.
No one's even there. Why bother anymore with life.
Why bother. Why bother anymore with life.
Why. Why bother anymore with life.
This is all the goes in my mind anymore for 2 more years that's all I thought.
I got a job in those 2 years although I can faintly remember anything from the interview or even working there.
I don't even remember getting my house fixed. Why did I even bother it's just gonna disappear in the future
I have cuts on my wrist from what though? Who did this...Was it me? I don't remember that either.
Where did these thoughts come from? Why are they happening to me. Why is it me.
I knew who it was. It was Apple Jack. I stood still not wanting to move in fear of her running. I saw her move closer and closer slowly though. Her mane was just a mess. Filled with twigs and leafs. Her hair was a mess and as well filled with twigs and leafs. She moved closer and closer slowly but I wasn't moving much myself. She came closer and eventually was right next to me and sat down next to. There was a long stretch of quietness. 'Pa.. I'm really sorry about all this. I over reacted... Do... Do you still love me?" She asked. I hugged her tight and never loosened my grip. "Apple Jack." I said crying and with a a bouncy kinda sound. "I will always love you, never think differently about that. Got it?" "Yes Pa. I love you and don't you ever think differently." We both then started apologizing to each other. "Pa... I need to take a shower I'm kinda messy if you haven't been able to tell." We both chuckled and headed home.
After that day I decided to buy some farm animals including a dog like from the show. She named him Winfrey. Which I think is the dog's name from the show. At the end of the day we both went upstairs and into our rooms. But before that she said to me something that had stopped me with overwhelming joy. "Pa... I love you..." She said it before but it had been so long since she said that before bed. It sounds different indoors though.
~Years later~
Me and Apple Jack we were happy once again. But today was different. In fact while sitting here thinking about it I can't help but cry we were happy together. But I was once again brought back to the harsh reality.
Wassup guys. I'm changing my trails. I'm going to change this one's ending to the one I'm wanting since this one is just completely rushed feeling.
~ 4 Years Later ~
Today was devastating and life changing in fact while looking back at it I feel like crying. In fact I'm still thinking about it....
After that day it felt like the years had passed quicker than usual...and to quickly. Today we were going to go for a walk with Winfrey, but before we were able to get out of the door we heard a knock at the door. I told Apple to go upstairs. People don't usually come to our house seeing how there was no real point too. She went upstairs as told, and when I heard the door close I opened the front door. and looked down there was a purple horse and a purple green dragon. The purple horse I was able to Identify as Twilight, and the Dragon as Spike from My Little Pony. I wondered what they were doing here. Although I knew the answer I just shoved it in the basement of my mind like so many other things.
"Um, hello there?" I said Twilight began with "Hello I'm Twilight Sparkles, and me and my assistant are looking for two ponies." "Sup." Spike said. "Anyways one of them is orange and the other is blue with rainbows, have you seen one of them? Because we've been noticing a difference in atmosphere around two spots and we were sure that was them, seeing how this universe doesn't change atmosphere so fast. Also I'm fairly certain but isn't this planet Earth?" She said finally ending her long speech. "Yeah this is Earth. Why're you looking for the two ponies? "Um well, you see-" Spike interrupted. "When there are ponies from our universe they mess with the atmosphere. Such as a atmosphere with sadness and hate will slowly change into a happiness and kindness. Having two ponies in one spot how ever will change the atmosphere four times faster than having one pony, which then changes the atmosphere so much it changes that part of the universe so not just the earth the whole part of the universe. When it does so it then makes that part of the universe to be like the one from our universe. When they move together however it spreads and goes on for a while. It also goes pretty far, I'm sure that it can cover a whole town as well. Not only that but having two ponies close by is a danger to time for some odd reason." Spike at least ended with. "Wow Spike where did you learn that?" Twilight asked. "I read up on it before we left, good thing I did huh?" "Anyways we are needing to get these two ponies. Do you have one of them?"
"Well...Um." I said "Well no offence sir but there's no use lying I can tell that you have one of them and I can also tell from the huge amount of apple trees that you have the one we are searching for named Apple Jack." Spike said kinda rudely "But-" I was interrupted but Apple Jack. "Pa! Ya there?" Twilight and Spike both had a confused look on there face. "Yeah I'll be up there in a minute!" I yelled. "Um I hope you don't mind me asking but did Apple Jack just call you um, Pa?" Twilight asked "I'm going to go get her be right back." How can I respond to this without sounding rude? I went up to her room and opened the door. Apple Jack then asked "Pa they gone?" "Uhh no listen we need to talk." I explained to her about the pony and the baby dragon, and what they were doing here. "BUT PA! I don't wanna leave I like it here! I don't wanna go with them! I won't go with them." Apple Jack yelled. "Are you sure you don't want to? You'll probably be happier with them?" I said with a restrained crying kinda voice. "Pa... I love you I'm not leaving you. You're my Pa and I'm your daughter. Is this some kinda joke?" "I wish it was. But how will we get you out of here without them noticing?" I then remembered there was a back door behind a wall that would cover her from them seeing her. We explained a plan to each other fast so they wouldn't get suspicious.
While we were getting ready to leave we heard Twilight scream "Sir, are you coming down?" We both sprinted out of there and ran the rest of the way. The plan we had was we would get out of the house and go to where Apple Jack hid when she ran away. So I followed her it was a good ten minutes when we got there. But I noticed something strange about it. Apparently so did Apple Jack. "The atmosphere is less thick and has a much more brighter feelin to it." That's when I remembered what Spike explained. "When two ponies are together the atmosphere changes four times faster than one pony." So that's why it was just Twilight. Having both Apple Jack and Twilight is four times enough but having the whole group would change it greatly. Which means that having five in one spot would make it twenty times more than one. Since having one pony in one spot would change the atmosphere slowly which is probably one, which takes a few years having two would make it months, and having five would take only a few minutes!
"Apple Jack the other ponies are here including Twilight Sparkles!" I said loudly. "Indeed you are correct!" I heard a pony- no a horse say loudly. "You have risked this universe by forcing us all except for the two of us missing to move to one spot. Are you proud of yourself?" I know who that pony is it's Celestia! Except angrier sounding than from the show. I'm sure she should be more forgiving but I'm far to rushed to think of a reason. "Celestia why are you here to take my daughter?" I yelled "Your daughter? What ever do you mean." She said still hiding "I raised her She loves me I love her you won't take that away from us!" I yelled "Um, sir please can let us take Apple Jack? We need her in our universe. That is if you don't mind..." I know who that is as well it's Fluttershy. Even with her nice calm little voice I hated her and every other pony for trying to take Apple Jack away- no trying to take my daughter away.
Finally they emerged from the shadows. I knew who they all were Celestia in the middle (Cliche) Twilight next her, Rarity to the other side of Celestia, Fluttershy behind Twilight and Pinkie Pie next to Rarity. "By the Queen of Equestria command return Apple Jack at once!" Celestia commanded "By command of me Piss off!" I yelled angrily. Celestia looked angry by this comment and the rest of the ponies were astonished, even Apple Jack because of my loyalty to my daughter. Celestia then charged at me catching me off guard but before she was able to make contact with me Apple Jack tackled me out of the way. Twilight came over to calm Celestia down and then went over to us. Apple Jack then kicked her so hard she flew into something in the darkness. "RUN!" Apple Jack yelled.
We ran but behind us were the other ponies. I noticed something about them. They looked a small amount...grey. I still couldn't think of why they were acting like this. Rarity used to her magic which was weak but grabbed me and started pulling me. Apple Jack noticing this, ran fast and kicked Rarity hard and with that flew a whiles away. She helped me up and we ran again. Fluttershy above us flew in front of us. We went around her. "That was...pitiful." Apple Jack said. Pinkie Pie started to bounce towards us but tripped. We both laughed a bit and kept going. We had both ran out of strength and had to take a break. But then I heard something that made my heart beat even faster than it already was.
"RETURN APPLE JACK AT ONCE!"
We tried to run but it was obvious we both had no strength and couldn't run. I turned around and I saw a huge white horse run right into me. I flew so far away and couldn't gather the strength to stop myself. I finally stopped sliding but was too weak to get up. I heard Apple Jack yell and run towards me. I looked up and saw her running at me and saw Celestia as well running behind her. She must of noticed because she turned around and charged at her. "Apple Jack don't do it she's too strong..." I said sorta loudly but she didn't hear. I saw a little change in Celestia. Something in her eyes made her snap out of what ever was going on. I saw a tear roll down her cheek. Was she in a trance Apple Jack got ready to kick her whenever a purple glow went around her and sent her flying towards me. She fell down hard and she stopped by me.
Something inside me exploded. I got up and ran after Celestia and was as well stopped by what ever that purple glow was. I was thrown back to where I was. I got up again and charged at Celestia again. What is this inside me why can't I stop charging at her I thought to myself. The same thing happened again and again. I was getting weaker and weaker. I finally stayed down. I know what it was....Anger, Loyalty, and most of all Betrayal. Betrayal at the ponies for doing this to not only me but also to my daughter and there "friend". I was passing out but forced myself to stay awake. I could faintly hear Celestia yelling "Twi....Stop immediately! What are yo...ing." I was able to faintly hear this because I was starting to pass out. Everything dark. "I've gotta...get up....and....defend....MY DAUGHTER!" I got up but barely was able to stand. I saw Apple Jack getting up as well.
We were in no shape to run or fight back. Is this the end for me to see my daughter? Why is this happening. Why is everything going by so quickly. "Sir.. I apologize for all this....You see when there are two Ponies on this universe that changes this universe's atmosphere to be like ours. However since there are six ponies in one spot and me counting as five more since I'm fully grown and powerful have spent enough time in this spot that I was able to change back into my former self... I'm going to explain this may take a while...." She told me everything I needed to know. When ever the atmosphere changes in this universe it also changes in there universe since the hatred has to go somewhere. This affected each of the ponies. Which explains why they were acting like this and why they were gray. Apparently where we moved is also where the whole land of Equestria is in there universe. They were all in the hatred atmosphere for too long and Celestia had to do something but it wasn't out of need it was out of hate, well at that time at least. Also time was going by too fast here it was also affecting time in their universe.
"That's why we need to get both of those ponies back in our universe so that balance can be returned." Celestia said. "But is there anyway for me to go with you?" I said "Unfortunately since you are from here the hate will still spread in our universe if you come along." Twilight said.
I knew what was going to happen. They were going to have to take my daughter. I can't lose her..she's all that I have left. But that's selfish of me. Even though I do deserve to have her and she deserves to have me. We went back to our house.... It would soon be called... My house. The thought of that made a tear slide down my cheek. Apple Jack saw and came closer to me. I opened my door and went inside of course with the rest of the crew.
"Sir...I'm sorry about this but it's my duty as Queen of Equestria to restore balance and return Equestria to normal... Even if it means having to take Apple Jack." Celestia said.
had tears roll down my cheek but I shook head and had my long hair cover it. I didn't want to make Apple Jack cry with me although I saw a tear go down her cheek as well. She pulled her hat down to cover her face like I did with my hair. I felt such a strong amount of pain it was physically hurting.
"Celestia..." I looked down at Apple Jack. Her hat still covering her face from the tears. "I want you ponies....to take care of my daughter." I looked down at her again I saw a flinch. She is crying now. This pain she was feeling...
"But can she bring something along with her?" "As long as it's not alive." Celestia said "Can she take her hat with her?" I said "I don't see why not." Twilight came over to Apple Jack. "Apple Jack I'm going to use a spell to remove your memories so that way the depression won't stay with you." "Wait what! I don't want to lose my memories I can't forget about my Pa!" Apple Jack said "Apple Jack..." Twilight said Celestia started "Apple Jack we need to remove your memories if you remember anything from here then this would all be pointless because memories will also change the atmosphere."
Her hat wasn't cover her face I saw tears roll down her cheek. I grabbed her and hugged her. "Apple Jack...This hurts both of us but we all need to part at some point in time. We can't have both of us together because of what will happen to your universe." I said. I was crying now more than I have my whole life. I have to willingly give up something I love. Apple Jack pushed away from the hug but not enough to be let out of my grip. "No Pa...This is my universe. I was raised here, and you taught me everything I need to know and raised me as if I were your own flesh and blood." We hugged each other hard.
Twilight came closer and then the whole house started to change into a spinning, purple, glowing fog. "Apple Jack I want you to go on and have a great life. I want you to remember your friends and that I will always love you. If you ever need someone I'm here." We hugged tightly and we both closed our eyes. Then I opened I eyes. I felt nothing in my arms and saw nobo- nopony around.
I was alone now and Apple Jack is now in PonyVille. I am without a family and I'm in this old house. But was the second pony that was blue with rainbows...Rainbow Dash? Does this mean the My Little Dashie story didn't happen yet. Does it have to do with time? All these thoughts flow through my mind. I'm crying..I can't stop...I won't stop...I want her back...but that's a selfish thought..If I did keep her here, then the world she belongs in would cease to be what it should be, and this world would cease to exist.
I stayed in that spot for several hours... I got up and headed for my room...While going up the pictures I had with Apple Jack.... were no longer there... I remember My Little Dashie and rush to Apple Jack's room. I ran down the hallway. And there wasn't even a door to enter the room. I fell down before I got to the end of the hallway because I saw no door. The sadness I had, had returned full throttle. I can't even move I just lay there and cry.
Another hour passed by and I headed downstairs. When I did I noticed a book was on the coffee table. I walked towards it and opened it. I saw few pictures but I still scanned through them. Even through the pages with no pictures on either of them. I keep going and I get to the end. I close the book and notice writing on the back of the book.
"Pa" I bursted into tears again but keep reading. "I've loved living with you and with the Princess's permission, I was able to write this. There may not be anything left for you to remember me with but I've left this and the pictures that were removed to stop any possible changes that could possibly mess with the atmosphere or something. But we were able to keep small things that wouldn't change anything. They're behind this message. I love you Pa. Never forget it."
I couldn't stop the tears that roll down my cheek and land on the book. I look for a opening to open the back of the book. I feel something not an opening to open it but a slit with pictures sticking out of them. I pull them out careful not to cause any scratches. I see the pictures of us. Still looking 2D but with that 3D aspect I still can't explain. The tears start to cease. Until the memories of us together come back. I start crying and this time harder than anytime I've ever cried before. I remember giving her, her first bath, Making apple pies, getting apples from the trees, and I remember giving her, her hat.
Two days have passed since I've lost my daughter. I've been in my room and haven't left my house for two days and have no reason to live any more. There's no one and nopony with me any more and I'll never see my family ever again. I go to my closet and grab the 9mm pistol I hid from Apple Jack since hunting is non existent in her universe, and I didn't know how she'd react to it. I check to see if there's any bullets left or even a clip. There was. I begin to hold it up to my head. I pull the trigger but It was left on safety. I stop for a moment thinking about what I'm going. I slowly pull it up to my head, after turning the safety off. I just about pulled the trigger whenever there was a knock at the door.
I freeze. I drop the gun and slowly walk down the stairs. I slowly unlock the door, and slowly open the door.
"I've lost a pony aswell."
As I stepped outside something caught my attention. The box from earlier.
"Hey guys sorry for not updating my birthday came up on March 6th a few days ago and I've been more busy than usual anyways I started writing Chapter 10 Ending two but I felt like it wasn't very good. So tell me what you think about it and be as harsh as you can I need to know so I can write a better version. (It doesn't seem very well written so tell me waht you think about it so far and most of all be honest.) NO SPOILERS IN HERE YET. Also incomplete."
~4 Years later~
All my life I have dealt with everything the same way I just ignored it. That was until a special orange pony named Apple Jack came by and changed that. She was my family nothing will change that...Or so I thought.
Today was Apple Jack's birthday. So I decided to go get some furniture and such for her bedroom. I told Apple Jack that I was going to buy something for her birthday. I was ready to go and heard a knock at the door. I told Apple Jack to go upstairs to her room. We never get visitors here. I opened the door and that's when I knew today wasn't going to be a good day. I saw several ponies of a many color. Pink, Yellow, White, Purple, and white again. But no blue. I wondered why. I also wondered why they were here. Although I did know why, but I ignore it.
"Um...Hello?" I said. Celestia began "Hello have you seen 2 differently colored ponies?" Barely audible she whispered "There's no use lying." Although she said it in a way where I wouldn't take offence to it. I was silent. I thought this day would come a few years ago but...I wish it wasn't today... I could feel tears coming. "Y-...Yeah... Why ya looking for her?" I said. "Twilight Sparkles I need you to come here and explain for me." She said. After she said that she came closer smiled shyly and coughed. "Well you see whenever a pony is in this universe, the universe in our world loses it time span giving ours to yours and also changes the atmosphere as in this planet's atmosphere having mostly hate it would change the atmosphere in Ponyville to hate but replace the one in this planet's to love." Everything was going in fast motion nowadays. even right now as we speak it's going to fast for me to bear... "So you're going to take Apple Jack? Also where's the other pony?" I said. "Well we've been looking for them both for the past 14 days." Twilight said. Does this mean... that My Little Dashie hasn't happened yet? Or does it mean time is reversing in an area..... "Um sir your face is becoming pale..." Twilight said. I was at shock I'm about to lose Apple Jack and if I keep her here the world will eventually cease to exist... most of all Where was Dashie now? At that one guy's house? Time is going by fast. "I...D-...." Is all I can mutter out right now. something happened that made me go stiller than stone... "Hey Pa ya there?" Apple Jack yelled down. "Um did Apple Jack just call you...Pa?" Images of her flew through my mind and I couldn't bear it.
