After AJ fell asleep, I had to think of where Blossom was going to sleep. We named her Blossom because of Apple Bloom, so it would at least have the feeling of her, but AJ doesn't even know about Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, or Big Macintosh. I found Applejack's old crib, and found the last spare room. It was kind of blank right now, but I'll paint it tomorrow. I moved the crib into the room and put Blossom in it. She can't open her eyes yet, but I could tell she was happy.

As I lay here in bed, with Austin holding me close, all I could think about is Blossom and AJ. I had already made sure that the apple cider was in the cabinet, a cabinet that AJ can't reach. She has a tendency to get up during the night and get a glass of apple juice. I'm not quite sure how she does it with hooves, but that is the least of my problems.

At about 1:45 a.m., Blossom started to cry. As I got up, Austin looked up at me and asked "What's wrong with Blossom?". I shrugged and walked into her nursery, not much of one. I knew that the only time she ever cried was if she wanted her bottle, or needed to be changed. When I picked her up, I found out that it was neither of those. As I carried her back to mine and Austin's bed, I assumed that something just startled her. "Austin, watch Blossom for a sec please, I'll go check on AJ to see if she got up or anything," I told him. He nodded and held Blossom.

As I entered Applejack's room, I saw her rub her eyes with her fore arms. "Mom, whut is goin' on?" She asked lazily. I bent down and asked her if she had been up any tonight. "No Ma, Ah've been asleep this whole time!" She replied, rolling over. "Can Ah' go back ta sleep now?" She asked. I nodded and kissed her on the forehead.

As I laid back down in Austin's and my bed, with Blossom between us, he asked me if she has been up. I shook my head and he raised his eyebrows. "You're serious? Then what's wrong with Blossom?" He asked. I shrugged and fell back asleep. Austin fell back asleep as well, but as much motion I felt in the bed, I could tell that Blossom refused to sleep.

After an hour, Blossom wailed again. It made Austin jump and he just picked her up. I sat up and asked him what was wrong. He shrugged and that was when I had enough. I knew AJ had the honesty element, so she can't lie without me knowing it. I went outside and investigated. When I saw the guy again, He came up to me and said "The pony, NOW!". Before my brain could process what had just happened, I reacted without consulting myself, and punched him in the face. What the heck did you just DO?! I thought. I knew he couldn't hit a girl, but he did anyway.

"Heck no you didn't!" I shouted, and pushed him, while he was falling, I punched his mouth. He was out cold, and I called the police. After 10 minutes, they arrived and cuffed him again. "Thanks, Darryl." I said. He nodded and drove back to the LA police station. As I went back inside. Austin had just put Blossom back to bed when he saw me, with a bloody lip.

"Oh my God, what the heck happened?!" He asked, holding my head in his hands. I looked him in the eyes and replied with tearful eyes.

"The guy, he was looking for AJ again, we fought for a sec," Austin pulled me in for a hug and we French kissed, again. After we let go, AJ came downstairs.

"Whut the heck are y'all doin' up? Its like, 3 o' clock in the mernin'" She pointed out. I nodded and told her to go back to bed, she gladly did so and I found myself lying in bed once again, with Austin keeping me close.
