Author's Note

I'm getting ready for a colonoscopy. So, I figured to have Apple Bloom nourished when she got sick.

August 9-Meet and Greet 4-The Mother from "Monster Seeking Monster"

It was gloomy day in Jackbox Village. It rains every once in a while. Inside the Felmanders' house, Apple Bloom laid in bed, not feeling good.

"What a way to start my day." Apple moaned. "My head feeling like it's boiling. Feel weak all over, and these darn sneeze attacks. Ah-ah-ah AH CHOO!"

As Apple Bloom blew her nose, Olga took her temperature. It was an even 100.

"Poor Apple Bloom." Olga said. "Being sick can bring someone down."

"It sure can." Apple Bloom replied as she coughed. "I sure feel awful."

"I'll serve some breakfast for you. Maybe some maple brown sugar oatmeal will help."

As Olga goes downstairs to fix breakfast, she gets on her phone to make a call. "Hello, can you do me a favor? I have a young girl who's not feeling good. And, is very upset about it. How about coming over to help?"

Later, Apple Bloom looked out the window, and sees rain coming down. Then, she heard a knock on the door. "Yeah?"

"Breakfast is served." Answered a gentle female voice.

The door opened, and in steps a blond haired woman wearing a dark pink dress and carrying a tray. She walks in and puts the tray on a small table near the bed.

"Hello, Apple Bloom." The woman kindly greeted. "It's nice to meet you."

Apple Bloom recognized this woman. "Aren't you the Mother from Monster Seeking Monster?"

The woman soon showed her a scary grin. "That's me!"

This scared the farm girl. But, the mother comforted her. "Don't worry, dear. My frightening face is for show. I was asked to help you get better."

"No joke?" Apple Bloom wondered.

"No joke. In fact, I brought some breakfast for you. A little nourishment will fight any sickness."

"I hope so. Because I hate- I ha- ah-ah-ah AH CHOO!" Apple Bloom grabbed some tissues and blew her nose. "I hate being sick."

"I know, sweetie. But, I'm here to help that housekeeper downstairs. We'll help you get through this day. Now, eat your breakfast before it gets cold."

Apple Bloom weakly gets out of bed, and sits down on her little table. She sees the tray with oatmeal, toast, and some orange juice. She slowly and happily enjoys her meal as the Mother walks downstairs. In an office, Amy hears the sad news. "Poor Apple Bloom. I hope she'll be okay."

"Not to worry, madame." Olga replied over the phone. "Me and the MSM Mother are working together to take care of her."

"That's good to hear. Keep in touch."

Amy hangs up and returns to her computer. Back at the house, the Mother feeds Apple Bloom some cough syrup.

"I'm sorry it doesn't taste that good." The Mother said.

"I don't care about the taste." Apple Bloom replied, sounding a little better. "It's what it does that's important."

"That's the spirit. Now, rest up while me and Olga make lunch."

Later, Apple Bloom was at her little table doing some various puzzles. At that moment, the Mother brings in a tray. "Lunch time!"

Apple Bloom moves her book and lets the Mother place the tray down. It has tomato soup, a grilled cheese sandwich, an apple, and a glass of milk.

"This should build up your strength." The Mother said as she gives AB a sweet kiss on the cheek. "See you later."

The kind woman leaves as Apple Bloom enjoys her lunch.

"Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches go perfect together." Apple Bloom said as she munches on her sandwich. "And, fresh fruit is a good addition."

At a truck dealership, Kevin checks off some inventory as his boss checks in on him.

"Everything okay, Kevin?" The boss asked.

"All present and accounted for, chief." Kevin answered.

"How's that kid staying at your place?"

"Apple Bloom? Well, she's a little under the weather. But, from what Olga told me, she's getting better."

"That's good to hear. Maybe that farm kid caught some kind of 24 hour bug. Well, keep up the good work."

The boss leaves as Kevin returns to work. Back at the house, Apple Bloom laid down on the bed as she is on her phone. "I can't believe I felt worse earlier."

"That's what I heard." Applejack said on the phone. "Sounds like your getting better."

"I reckon so. Well, I'll let you go. See ya soon, Applejack."

"Okay, Apple Bloom. Bye."

As Apple Bloom hangs up her phone, she heard a knock on the door. "Come in."

In steps Amy, who is happy to see her guest. "Hi, Apple Bloom. How are you feeling?"

"Better than I was this morning. Olga and the Mother worked well together to help me."

"Oh yes. The Mother from Monster Seeking Monster. A very fitting person to come help you."

Amy took Apple Bloom's temperature. The thermometer read 99. "Excellent. Your temperature is going down. You'll be fit in no time."

Then, in steps Olga with a tray to place on Apple Bloom's table. "Since it's Friday, I figured some pizza and a soda will do for this little one's dinner."

The farm girl slowly got from her bed, and over to the table. She slowly munched on her pizza.

"Good idea, Olga." Amy praised. "Most kids like pizza. And, the weekend is coming. Let's leave her to enjoy her meal."

The women left as Apple Bloom enjoyed her pizza. "This pizza is good. Now, if it only had some bacon."

Night has come. After Apple Bloom had her nightly meditation, she changed into her nightshirt, and climbed into bed. She looks at the full moon, and has a thought. "I'm sure I’ll meet the Mother again. After all, the Monster Seeking Monster mansion is part of Jackbox Village."

After getting comfortable, Apple Bloom went to sleep. She feels happy that her sick day is over. Meanwhile, at a creepy looking house a shadowy figure with tentacles on it's body looks at the night sky. This thing was told about what the Mother did. "I hope to meet you soon, Miss Apple Bloom."
