     Ponies were warned that the day would come. The day without...peaches. They were horrified that such a time would come. How would it be possible? How could it be possible? Peaches were the norm today. Peach blankets, peach t-shirts, peach just about anything.

     These brave souls grew all the peaches they could, stored them in peach banks, and did every single possible thing to protect their peaches. Bless them.

     But...it wasn't enough. That day had come too soon.

     Nopony knows when this terrible Apocalypse happened...it just did. Peaches stopped appearing in stores and markets. It caused panic, but that was nothing compared to what happened next. The peach banks were destroyed. All of the fuzzy fruit...gone. The banks didn't know what happened. Without peaches, the blankets and items couldn't sell. A virus is what happened. It infected peaches so quickly that you don't know the tree has it until the entire orchard is destroyed.

     The virus made the trees droopy and sick, with rotten mushy fruit. If you ate one, there was a chance that you went to a hospital...or the graveyard. Hundreds of ponies died each day from the fruit. Nothing could stop the virus. Scientists for years worked on a cure, but none could be found. Peach farmers were booted into the street because they couldn't grow peaches anymore to pay their bills. Peach vendors shared the same fate.

     Our economy suffered so much. Peaches were our income; our lives. We needed them and they needed us. So many businesses and homes closed that it seemed that every pony was living on the street.

     Over time, we managed to save our nation. Sure it wasn't peaches, but a new fruit entirely. The orange. Such a simple design but the power to save us. Ponies sold oranges...we made bits again. Easy.

     However...all great things come at a cost. With oranges, ponies forgot about peaches. Not losing interest, mind you, but memory. Each day, they talked less about peaches, and more about oranges. Many forgot what peaches tasted like. That always breaks my heart. Little fillies and colts weren't even taught what peaches were anymore. If you asked a random pony what a peach was, he or she wouldn't know what you were talking about.

Luna,Twilight, Cadence, and even Discord forgot what a peach was like.

My little ponies forgot what the beautiful peach was like...

Except me,

I remember.

And I always will.
