"Applejack!!!" Apple Bloom called from her room, "Applejack, I need your help with mah homework!" No answer came from downstairs. Apple Bloom groaned, rolled her eyes, and get up from her desk. She headed out her door, down the fourteen stairs, and into the dining room. "Applejack, for the last time, I need your help! Why is writin' that stupid letter so important?! You won't even tell me who it's for!"
Applejack looked at her sister with a distraught look in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Bloomy, I wasn't payin attention. What homework do you need help with?"
"Mah English," Apple Bloom said as she sat down at the table, "We are learnin about proof reading letters and stuff like that and I don't have any idea when any of this stuff means! Ah mean, why are there so many symbols for fancy words?"
Applejack smiled at her. "Ah had the same trouble when I was your age, ma said that it was because I was stubborn and didn't want to learn. I finally learned and found out how useful it is."
"Can you just help me memorize the symbols?" Apple Bloom asked her sister, "We have a test on them tomorrow."
"Good news Applejack!" Apple bloom called as she came into the house. She and the crusaders had no ideas so they just parted ways and went home after school, "I passed mah test!"
"Well," Applejack said as she gave her sister a big hug, "Ain't that something?"
"There's only one problem," Apple Bloom admitted.
"Oh," Applejack said giving Apple Bloom the "look"
"I have to proof read a letter," Apple Bloom said with her head hanging low, "I have to include the proofreaders marks AND it can't be a letter I wrote."
"I see," Apple jack said, "I think I have just the letter! One came in the mail for you today!"
"Really?!" Apple Bloom said excitedly, "I never get letters! Well, maybe from Babs, but still!" Apple Jack handed her the letter and Apple Bloom read the address quickly. Her face fell. "Apple Jack, why is this addressed from our house to our house?"
"It's that letter," Apple Jack admitted, "I needed to find the right words to say. That's why it took so long to write. Now, I'll leave you to your editen."
Apple Bloom watched her sister walk out of the room before she opened the envelope.
Dear Apple Bloom,
After the accident that put Pinkie in the hospital, I figured it was time to tell you something. You see, it all started back in high school...
"Applejack!" A pink mare called to the farmer, "Applejack, wait up!"
The orange mare, Applejack, was rushing to get somewhere. "What is it Pinkie?"
"I'm having a party tonight!" Pinkie said as she bounced up and down, "And i'm inviting you!"
"Is this another one of your 'university' parties?" Applejack asked as she reached the steps of her destination.
"You bet!" the pink mare said excitedly, "Look, i know you don't like to come to these, but i just wanted to know if you would provide some hard cider!"
"Pinkie!" Applejack said in disgust, "Hard cider?! What the hay?!"
"Look," Pinkie said as, somehow, she stood still, "Aviator Glider will be there, and you know how much i want to impress him-"
"So you can catch his eye," Applejack said as she rolled her eyes, "look, I know you have a crush on the pegasus but do you really think he'd be the kind of stallion for you?"
"Yes, Applejack, I do," Pinkie said matter of factly.
I tried to change her mind but she wouldn't hear of it. It took a lot of work to convince her to have a mild party as well. She was very excited when she saw Aviator walk in... yes, i went, but that was to keep her in line.
"Aviator!" Pinkie said as she ran to greet him, "You made it!"
"I wouldn't miss one of your parties for anything!" He said with a wink, "What's the theme this time?"
"Congrats Twilight on become Celestia's student party!" Pinkie said without taking a breath, "Twilight isn't here though."
"I guess we can party without her," He said as he headed for the food, "Now, let's party!"
I left soon after that but i knew that i shouldn't have. i go back to my dorm room and try my best to get some sleep. When i woke up, i could here my roommate, Pinkie, dead asleep. I chuckled at that until i saw a note pinned to her mane. "Dear Pinks, Last night was awesome! Shame it had to end early. Thanks for the special 'party' you threw for me last night! I had to get to my dorm this morning but i'll see you later Pinks! <3 Aviator" I knew then that i definitely should not have left them. Soon after i finished reading the note, Pinkie started to stir.
"Ugh..." She groaned, "My head hurts..."
"That's what you get," I said with a stern look on my face, "For drinkin so much hard cider!"
She started to look around.
"Looking for this?" I said as i showed her the note.
"Applejack!" She exclaimed, "You can't tell anypony about this!"
"Why?" I asked with a conserned look on my face.
"Because if my family found out," She said with tears in her eyes, "I'm out of there with no place to go!"
She cried on my shoulder for about an hour. After that, things pretty much went back to normal. After a few months, i insisted that she go see a doctor but the results were what i expected. She was pregnant. She tried to tell her family but they wouldn't hear of it. She ended up living with me on the farm. She had looked everywhere for Aviator but he had just dissapeared. When the day came, i was the only one there for her. It was a small filly, cream with a crimson mane and orange like eyes. She tried to take her to show the foal to her family, she wasn't even able to set hoof on their property.
"Pinkamina!" Pinkie's father nearly yelled, "Don't bring that rat here!"
"Dad!" Pinkie said as she held the filly close, "How could you say that?!"
"Easily," Her father said in anger, "Get rid of it."
She gasped. "No! I can't!"
"Get rid of it," He commanded, "Or i will be forced to!"
She left there crying hard, knowing that her father would check up on her to make sure the foal was disposed of. Since she was living at my place at the time, she asked if i could care for the foal. I accepted and soon after, she moved to Sugar Cube Corner. Her father came to call as predicted and patted her on the head when he heard that she had gotten rid of, "it" as he had called it. She asked me to re-name the foal to something apple related so that her father would never know that the foal was stilling living in the same town. I took the flly, and named her Apple Bloom... Her real name was Party Balloon. I'm sorry Bloomy, i couldn't tell you, i swore! I even pinkie promised! but after what happened in town i figured that you needed to know. I'm sorry for keeping this from you. love, Applejack.
Apple Bloom stared at the letter. "I'm.... i'm... i'm not an apple?"
Applejack hung her head and answered, "No"
"But!" Apple Bloom started to say, "So... Pinkie is my ma?"
"Yes"
"oh," Apple Bloom said as she let that sink in, "Do you- do you think- that i could go see her?"
"I think she'd like that," Applejack said as she gave her a hug, "I think that would brighten her day."
