Chapter 2: First Day

I had taken the day off from work to watch over Apple Bloom. She wasn't as energetic as in the show, but she was very curious. Harold and his friends had gone to school so I'd have to wait until 3:00. I decided to see what I could get from this filly as approached her room. I cracked open the door and peeked inside. Apple Bloom was spinning in circles, watching her flank, like she did in "Call of the Cutie". I smiled with warmth as I watched her. Then I realised something, she was standing on her own tw- er... four hooves. I walked over to her and when I started moving, she quickly turned away and ran under the bed. I wouldn't blame her for being scared. I was just some random guy who she doesn't know.

"Its ok Apple Bloom, I won't hurt you." I say getting to comfort her. She didn't budge. She looked at me with cute eyes, probably hoping her cuteness would free her, but I was smarter than the ponies in the show. I shielded my eyes when she tried it and laughed when I heard her whine. "Come on Apple Bloom, do you want to play?" She looked at me and looked around at her surroundings. I then heard her stomach growling and felt mine do the same. "Come on, why don't we get something to eat." She looked at me and smiled, wagging her tail. She slowly and hesitantly crawled out from under the bed and watched me as she passed me, which caused her to run into a wall. I chuckled and opened the door to let her out, again, she didn't budge.

"Come on Apple Bloom. Do you want to eat or no?" I said getting a little annoyed. She slowly trotted out the door and I heard her go down the hallway. I looked over at the bed, the spare bed I decided to put in for guests. Right now, she was a guest.

I walked back out the door, and into the hallway. As I passed by, I smiled at the pictures on the wall. A couple pictures of me, and quite a bit of my family. I took a quick peak in the hallway bathroom, making sure she didn't go in there, before proceeding. I got in and immediately, I saw flour everywhere. I spotted some crushed apples on the floor, and well as on the counter. I even saw two boxes of cereal spilled out on the floor. She looked at me and started to cry. I looked in a window that was above the sink and saw my reflection. My face was red and crossed. I looked really mad, but I didn't feel mad. I looked back at the crying Apple Bloom on the floor. She had a spot of flour on her head. I walked over and picked her up. She squirmed in my arms and attempted to kick me. I looked at the calender and saw the date, the 23rd. Christmas was in a couple days and I had a baby, not a filly, a baby Apple Bloom.

I thought about celebrating Hearth's Warming day instead, but I had to have to Christmas decorations up before tomorrow. Luckily I decided to put them up earlier in the week, but it cost me money. I thought about what I could do with this filly and what she did for fun. Then, I froze, there was only one thing she would to do for fun was... crusading. How could I do that with her? I couldn't possibly grab Scootaloo or Sweetie off the street, could I?

I walked into the living room and sat her down on the couch. I turned on the TV and, to my luck, an MLP episode which didn't have the CMC on it. I went into the kitchen, ignoring the mess I got a few apples from the fridge, put them in a bowl, and smashed them up. They turned into a bowl of applesauce and I took the cores out, thinking she would eat them. I brought out the applesauce and placed it next to Apple Bloom. She smiled with delight after took her first bite, and continued to eat it until we heard a knock at the door. I told her to stay there while I went to check the door.

To my surprise, it was Harold. "Hey dude, I ditched school so I could see what our little friend was up to." I allowed him in and he saw Apple Bloom attacking the applesauce I had given her. "Man, so she really does like apples." She looked up at us and continued eating until the bowl was gone. "Doesn't she seem old enough to talk? Well why isn't she?" He asked.

"I don't know but- hey look!" I said pointing to the TV. Apple Bloom had her smiling face pressed up against the screen as she watched Applejack buck trees with Twilight asking to help her. "She might not be able to talk, but she can remember things from her world."

"A-a-applej-jack." She muttered out in her cute southern voice. I looked at Harold and he looked at me. She still remembered her sister. She looked up at me and smiled, I smiled back.

"Well, I see she's ok. Might as well go turn myself into my parents." He said before waving goodbye and walking out the door. I closed the door and looked over at Apple Bloom. If she had memories of her family, did she have them of her friends?

"Say Apple Bloom, do you know anything about Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle?" I asked and she looked up at me with a wide smile.

"S-s-s-scoot." She said with a happy face. "S-scoot, Scoot!" She shouted happily. She began to jump up and down around the living room, saying Scootaloo's nickname. I smiled as I felt warmth go through me and thought about how lucky I was to have the real Apple Bloom. Then I thought hit me, she can't learn if she doesn't go outside. I pulled a scarf off the coat hanger and rapped it around her neck. She snuggled at how cozy it was and I picked her up, put her in my jacket, and I walked out the back door. I saw everything I had in the backyard, a covered up pool, a tree with a swing on it's branch, and two tables next to the house. I walked over to the swing, pulled her out of my jacket, and set her down on it. She held on to the swing and smiled as I pushed her. I took baby steps because I didn't want her to fall off and get hurt.

"H-higher!" She commanded me with a smile. I held onto the ropes of the swing and pushed her higher, earning a "weeee" from the filly. I couldn't stand how cute she was. She looked over and saw a fountain that had been turned off for the winter and she motioned for me to help her over there. I did so as I picked her up off the slide and down in the fountain. She walked around in the circle surrounding an angel. She had done this for a while, about 30 minutes or so, before climbing out and trotting over to the covered up pool. I wasn't worried about falling in, she was however, as light as a pillow or something. But if she did fall in, I wouldn't be able to help her.

"Apple Bloom do you know how to swim?" The farm pony turned around and shook her head, so I grabbed her before she could walk into the covers.

It was noon now and I had just fed her an apple pie I made out of a cook book. She was obviously happy to receive it, she practically ate it whole. I thought about the missing accessory on her head. Maybe I could tie pink string together and give her it? I decided that was probably the best answer, so I went downstairs, with her following me, and pulled out a pink string. I tied it together and in the end, it had two loops, much identical to the one in the show. I handed it to her and she took it cautiously, and put it on. She looked in a mirror leaning on a wall and smiled.

She now looked cuter than ever.
