My Little AJ

                                                              My Little AJ

It was about 3:30 p.m. when I started my research on Applejack. I read that she as a baby in fact did prefer apple juice over milk, I honestly don't know why I even attempted to give her milk in the first place, but I pushed that aside. I remember that in "My Little Dashie", Rainbow Dash had to leave when she turned 15 years of age, but when I glanced back at the television, Austin was watching My Little Pony, and Applejack was asleep in her crib back upstairs, the series was still airing, it was on season 17 already, and Applejack was still in numerous episodes. That was what troubled me the most.

When I was a child, I knew about this psychic deal on my mother's side of the family. I gave up on those studies so I could actually pass grade school, if I hadn't looked in my old spell-book, I wouldn't have found a possible reason that Applejack was here, and was a baby. It read that this particular spell was to teleport to an alternate universe. But that didn't explain why the heck she was a baby. The episodes finally ended and Austin got up from the couch, and went upstairs to check on Applejack, and she was asleep.

I turned off the computer and thought about what Rob suggested in "My Little Dashie" as to how Rainbow Dash's age was alternated when she came. The spell must have a side affect of some sort, it must've been weak, so it would naturally have a bug in it, so I went with that. I joined Austin in Applejack's doorway, and I whispered.

"She's so peaceful, I'm glad she came here,". Austin looked me in the eyes, and kissed me. That was his way of agreeing with me when he didn't feel like talking. That was when his phone went off, and Applejack awoke. Before she started to cry, I went over to her and picked her up. We had found her yesterday, July 2nd, only a month after my 22nd birthday, and tomorrow was the fourth of July, which meant that Austin and I was going to go to town square to watch public fireworks, like we did when were engaged. I wasn't going to call for a babysitter for AJ, and I asked Austin if he had a jacket big enough to hide her. She wasn't getting taller, she was getting wider due to how much apple juice I fed her daily.

At about 7:30 p.m., we had finished dinner and I found myself walking around the block, with Austin by my side, and Applejack was wrapped in my hoodie. Applejack loved to see the nature, and it was fairly light out, Austin had his arm wrapped around me as we turned around and started walking home. We passed an apple tree in a small suburb park, and Applejack looked at it, and then started crying. I stopped in front of the tree, Austin took AJ out of my arms, and held her so I could pick a small apple for her. She giggled as she gummed on the apple.

As we entered the living room, Applejack knew what time it was, bath time. She jumped out of my arms and galloped upstairs. I laid my hoodie and the apple she was chewing on down on the couch. Austin and I followed her upstairs as we both searched for her. After a few minutes, I heard Austin whisper-shout, "Jade, over here!". I followed his voice, and I found him pointing under our bed, her tail was sticking out, I giggle and Austin grabbed her out from under the bed. She started to squirm as we walked toward the bathroom. As I filled up the tub with some warm water and a little bit of bubbles, then, Applejack calmed down when I pulled out her ducky.

When the bath tub was ready, Austin released the filly into the water. She started splashing and then, when I pulled out the green apple scented shampoo, she tried to climb out of the tub. Austin started to play with her as I washed her mane, and as long as he kept his hands on her, she wouldn't resist me washing her mane.

After her bath, Applejack jumped out of my arms when I picked her up out of the bath tub, She galloped all over the upstairs, but Austin caught up to her and I dried her off. She yawned and I carried her to her crib. Austin has never dealt with a baby this age, more the less a filly, for that matter. When we entered AJ's nursery, she rested her head on my arm, I laid her down, and, by the expression on his face, Austin's heart exploded twice! Mine did as well, and AJ's little breaths just made my heart beat faster. Austin and I just covered her up with a small blanket, and exited the nursery. As I turned the light off, Austin whispered to me.

"How long do you think we'll have her?". I bit my lip, and a sigh came back out.

"As long as we can, I suppose," I sighed. As we entered our room, I sat on the edge of the bed, wishing that we could keep Applejack, but Austin knew as well as I did, we can't keep her forever.
