My Little AJ

                                                                           My Little AJ

I still can't believe that AJ is finally 3 years old! Meaning Blossom is 2 now, and she learning how to walk and talk. For her birthday, AJ received a cowgirl hat! Blossom got some cute little clothes and stuff. Now, to my belief, AJ got her cutiemark when she was 2 or something. She can now fully communicate, and she is getting taller. Its been a good while since I've seen the beautiful nature scenery of my birth state, so this summer, Austin and I agreed to go to this camp my parents, siblings, and grandparents used to stay when I was a young girl.

When we arrived to the camp, AJ was giddy and just wanted to buck all of the apple trees there. I calmed her down and asked her if she wanted to go fishing. I wasn't entirely positive that ponies went fishing, granted that they were vegetarians. She was so happy and just couldn't answer me! I laughed and we just went inside the cabin. I wouldn't think that AJ would be so happy to be somewhere different than California. Although, it makes sense because, after all, she practically belongs in the country.

"Jade, how much longer do you think?" Austin asked me, as we were sitting on the couch, while holding Blossom. I shrugged and AJ had fallen asleep in the recliner. It didn't phase me too much anymore. AJ still has no idea about the whole "made up cartoon character" deal, but she doesn't need to know at this age.

After 5 days, we were on our way home. We had so much fun, and AJ probably had the most fun. Besides, the best thing just happened this morning: Our little AJ got her cutiemark! She had no idea what it was before, but after I explained it to her, she was more ecstatic than before! It all happened a little like this:

One morning, Austin and I not only woke up to Blossom's cries, but the sound of the door slamming closed! I immediately got up. I originally wanted to go and see if AJ had left or something, but Austin insisted that he went instead of me, considering I wasn't feeling the best. when he came back, he had told me that AJ had gotten her cutiemark. She had ran away from the place and people she loved, and practically begged Austin and I for us to go back to LA where Emily, Kiya, Alex C., Alex W., Harry and Ella were. We agreed and packed up.

I wish I was home to hear this! Because Austin and I returned to work, AJ agreed to babysit Blossom while we were gone, and I paid her 5 bucks an hour. When we got home. AJ came galloping downstairs and said. "Bloss'm sayd her first word!". That shocked me. How did a pony teach a human baby how to talk?

When Austin and I entered Blossom's nursery, AJ convinced her to say it again. "Applejack". That, made my heart sink to the pit of my stomach. I know that AJ would have to leave at some point, and it just made me so sad inside. But I put a smile on my face because Austin had picked up Blossom, and carried her over to me. He knew what I was feeling inside, but I didn't show my pain.

That night, Austin and I were sitting in bed, sipping on Monster Energy. As I put my laptop away, and drank my last drops of Monster, Austin pulled me in close and said "Our Blossom is growing up,". I looked up at him and replied with the upmost sadness.

"Yeah, but she learned to say her temporary sister's name!". As a tear ran down my face, Austin held me even closer as I cried. He knew that we couldn't keep her forever, and he knew I was crying just because of that.
