Charlotte was walking slowly; around her were spiky bushes, dark trees and scary sounds, as she was walking her herd rustling from the bush, she stop and had a panic attack before she bolted for her life. Then she realized she could shape shift and turned into a bush. When she saw nothing was there, so she continued to walk slowly and began to cry very lightly. Why doe’s nopony like me, just because I’m a changeling doesn’t mean I’m bad, I hate my mother she tried hurting ponies, why of all things do I have to be related to her Charlotte wondered.
She knew there was a town near and tried to avoid it, she thought if a pony saw her they would tried to capture her and put her in the dungeon. She saw a little house in a tree and shape shifted into a tree. After what seemed hours, she went in. It was dark; she tried a spell to give her light. There was a cauldron in the middle, scary marks hanging up and shelfs filled with potions. She ran as soon as she saw those creepy marks.
After walking for a long time she herd three voices and stoped “mmm… maybe shoe making cutie marks?” one voice said “no to boring, Dress making cutie marks!?!” another voice said “nah we need some eximent, how about exploring in the everyfree forest!?!” the third voice asked “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS EXPLORERS!!!!” the three voices said together, Charlotte rubbed her ears before galloping away.
As charlotte was walking she saw a bridge and a castle next to it. The bridge was wobbly and some of the planks of wood broke, once she got over the bridge she went in the castle there was this big better stool right in the middle of the room. The floor was cold and it was dusty, Charlotte walked deeper in the castle there was this blue stuff on the floor like a snake shredded its skin but in pieces and when you touched it burnt you hoof.
After exploring the castle, Charlotte fell down a ditch and in the ditch there was a glowing blue light. When she walked in there was a tree with different gems shaped into a cutie mark and a rainbow line went down to a flower with a chest on it. It had six key holes, but that is weird aren’t chests meant to have one key hole, as soon as Charlotte stopped wondering she got out of the cave.
Charlotte continued to walk slowly down the hill then she trip over a branch and tumbled down the hill giving here bruises and scratches all over her haunting her with pain. She walked to an abandoned grave yard were her father was buried. She sat down in front of the grave sobbing while remembering all the fun they had together. On the grave it said ‘love is a powerful thing’ why did you have to stop Mum from killing me? Why? Of all things, Why? I’d deserved it, I wouldn’t be in pain!!!! You were the only thing I loved the most. Charlotte bursted into tears, don’t leave me like this!!! I thought you had you had me figured out. Charlotte left the grave yard in tears. She had one looked back and she thought she saw a yellow pony with blue hair and was a pegisi, which made her smile her, dad!!! but when she shocked her head nothing was there. He smile changed into a frown.
After walking a long way she sat down, but she thought somepony was following her because the bushes kept rustling every were she went so she got up and ran off. She then ran into a cockatrice and turned it into it and turned it into Stone. After that she ran off. Charlotte got tired of walking so she sat down. When she did something grab her from behind her “HELP ME, PLZ” she screamed from the top of her lungs. This vine with spikes grabbed her and started pulling her away. “PLZ, JUST PLZ, HELP” Charlotte screamed one last time before breaking down into tears. Stinging with pain, Charlotte tried to break out only leading her to faint.
Chapter 2: One Apple’s Problems
Apple Jake was doing her daily jobs on the farm as always. “Applejack!!! Applejack!!! What can we do to get our cutie marks? We’ve tried dress making, shoe making and explorers?” Apple bloom asked “try some thin your good at, and work near you strong areas” Apple Jack said “urg! That what everypony says!!!” Apple bloom said and stomped off.
It had been a long day and Apple Jack came in for dinner. “I’ve done all the jobs on the Farm, no more jobs for a week” Apple jack said but no pony was smiling “We have some bad news” granny Smith said afraid to tell her what happened “yep” Big Macintosh replied Apple jack sat down wondering what had happened and asked “what?” “um…eh….where moving away” Granny Smith said “WHAT” apple jack and apple bloom said “all the apple trees are dying around here, we need to get better soil” Big mac replied “what, no, I can’t leave my friends!!!”Apple jack said “yeah I can’t leave my best friends!!” Apple Bloom agreed “sorry, but we’ve made our decision Apple Jack!” Granny smith said one more time.
“NO, YOU CAN’T!!” Apple jack yelled and ran outside. She ran as fast as she can, not stopping to talk to anypony. Apple Jack ran into the ever free forest knowing where she was going. She stopped at a grave yard and started to cry “why? Of all the things why?” Apple Jack sobbed. She started to walk slowly down the path upset.
“HELP, ME!!!” Apple jack heard a scream and ran towards where it was coming from “ANYPONY, PLZ, SAVE ME!!” there it was again, she stopped at a bush and looked in it there was a little filly trapped inside it. She stopped and in a panic attack “its ok, I’m here to help you” Apple jack told the filly. All the way thought the little filly didn’t struggle or say a word. By the time Apple Jack cut her out of the bush, the filly fell asleep. Apple jack put the filly on her back and started to walk back.
When she got back, she went to her bed and put the filly in the bed. While the filly was asleep she went to make the filly a bath, she turned on the tapes then what to get the filly. “Common, time to wake up” Apple Jack said softly “o…ok” the filly said. As apple jack gave her a bath she asked “what’s your Name?” “Char…Charlotte” the filly said “ok, after the bath I will get you some bandages and Band-Aids” Apple jack told her.
After Apple jack bandaged Charlotte she got her some hay soup. “are you ok?” Apple jack asked “yes, I’m ok but, aren’t you scared that I’m a changeling?” charlotte asked “no, it doesn’t matter if you’re a changeling, it matter’s what you are inside your heart” Apple Jack said “really?” Charlotte asked “yes, really, now it’s time for bed, your hurt, you need to get some rest” Apple jack said “ok” Charlotte said.
In the morning Charlotte and apple jack were trying to find decease for Charlotte. Once they found one she looked like a white pony with blue hair and she was a pegisi. “Ok, I am going to introduce you to my friends” Apple jack said. First stop was Twilight sparkle. Knock knock knock “hello, Apple jack” Twilight said “hi Twilight, I got some pony I want you to meet, Twilight this is Charlotte.” Apple jack said as Charlotte stepped out “Charlotte this is Twilight” “hi” Charlotte said quietly “well that’s not really why I’m here twilight” apple jack said “well then come inside” Twilight said.
When Apple Jack and Charlotte came in they sat at the table with some tea. “well….eh…um, well we are moving out in a few weeks cause all our apple trees are dying but trust me I don’t want to move out, it’s granny Smith” apple jack said before she burst into tears. “it’s ok Apple jack, everything will be ok, do you want me to get the other girls?” Twilight said “yes they need to know” Apple jack told twilight.
When the main six except rainbow dash because she was late and Charlotte (who was hiding under the book shelf) where in the living room Apple jack started to tell them everything. “well we are moving out in a few weeks cause all our apple trees are dying but, trust me, I don’t want to move out, it’s granny Smith and Big mac!!!” “That’s horrible, Apple jack” Fluttershy said “that is really really really really Mean!” Pinkie said “I know, that is just rude to force you to move away and how are you going to tell rainbow dash?” Rarity said “I dunno, Rarity” Apple jack said then Rainbow dash came in “I’m sorry I’m late what did I miss?” Everypony looked at her with a frown and when she saw apple jack with tears down her face she realized and her face went from happy to angry. “no, It can’t be true, NO!” rainbow dash started “please tell me this isn’t true, Apple jack?” rainbow dash asked.
