Healing The Apple

"Applejack! Wake up!" Apple Bloom cried, bouncing on her sisters bed.

"Give me five more minutes" Applejack groaned.

"Come on Applejack were gonna be late" Apple Bloom begged impatiently.

"Ugh! Alright I'm coming" Applejack answered tiredly.

Apple Bloom squealed with glee, and rushed out of the room. Applejack chuckled and hopped out of bed, heading towards the bathroom. She passed Big Mac along the way

"Howdy Big Mac" Applejack smiled.

"Eeyup" he responded.

Applejack walked to the bathroom, and undid the red rubber bands in her mane and tail. She brushed them both gently then put the rubber bands back in. She walked down the steps to greet Granny Smith.

"Morning granny" she said.

"Good morning Applejack" Granny replied with a smile. "Where you headed?"

"To town. Got Apple pie's to sell, member?" she asked.

Granny put a hoof under her chin and thought for a moment. She finally shook her head. Applejack sighed. Granny Smith had ways of forgetting such things. Apple Bloom rushed up to her sister, laughing excitedly.

"Can I really help this time?" Apple Bloom asked, eyes wide.

"Of course ya can" Applejack replied.

Apple Bloom was about to jump in the air but stopped. She calmly nodded her head in agreement.

"We best be going, don't want to keep any pony waiting" she said.

Her and Apple Bloom said good bye to Big Mac and Granny, then headed out the door to town. Applejack slowly pulled the Apple Pie cart behind her. Apple Bloom eagerly followed beside her.

"So do ya think we'll sell all our pie's?" Apple Bloom asked.

Applejack said nothing. She looked deep in thought and sad. Then Apple Blooms heart sank, when she realized what two days ago had been. Two days ago had been the anniversary of their parents death. They had both tragically fallen to the bottom of a huge trench. The bridge had collapsed underneath them. Applejack had made it across in time, but her parents hadn't. She stood screaming and watching her parents fall to the bottom. She never saw them reach the bottom but she knew. She had stood there sobbing till Granny Smith had found her. Police stated the bridge had been weak, and that it was not Applejack's fault. She never believed that. Apple Bloom looked at Applejack for a moment.

"I'll bet we'll sell all our pie's" Apple Bloom said, shattering the silence.

Applejack looked up and smiled. "I'm sure we will Sis."

The dynamic duo stopped in the center of town and looked around.

"Well, lets set up the stand" Applejack said.

"I'm with ya on that one" Apple Bloom said cheerfully.

"Well if it isn't Applejack" said a voice from behind them.

           The two spun to see who was talking to them. A stallion stood before them. Apple Bloom didn't know who he was, but it looked like Applejack did.
