Sounds Like Sour Apples to Me
It was a quiet night. Normal for Ponyville. Luna’s moon shone brightly through the apple trees of Sweet Apple Acers and into a golden mare’s room. Applejack’s room to be specific. The room was simple but had a cute country girl twist to it. Applejack tossed and turned trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. she finally gave up and rested on her side. The moon was full and keeping her awake. “Applejack?” a little filly’s voice whispered through the darkness. “What Apple Bloom?” Applejack asked her little sister. “I-I had a nightmare.” Apple Bloom squeaked, standing in the doorway. “Come n’ sid down” Applejack instructed, now sitting up in bed. Apple Bloom did as told. “Now, tell Applejack what happened.” “I was in the Everfree forest with Zecora and when I heard an awful screeching noise. I glanced at the direction it came from and the when I looked back there was a pegasus with a black coat but had your mane. She turned to look at me, smiled and pulled out carving knife then trapped me in the vines , cut of my flank and said ‘now you’ll always be a blank flank!’” the filly cried and nuzzled her sister. “Black coat, blonde mane? It had a Black coat and a blonde mane? Oh no! Apple Bloom you stay here tomorrow, no getting’ out with the crusaders. I’ve a mighty bad feelin’” Applejack sent her sister to bed and waited for Celestia to raise the sun. At about 10 o’ clock in the morning Applejack raced to Twilight’s Tree. “Twilight ya gotta help me!” Applejack Cried. Spike looked up from his bed. “Ever hear of knocking?” “oh spike be nice. What can I help you with AJ?” the unicorn asked. “I’ve a bad feelin’ that my cousin, Sour Apple, is comin’ to Ponyville!” Applejack winced at her own words. “what’s so bad about that. I thought I met all of your family the first day I was in Ponyville” Twilight asked. “Not sour Apple. She’s the only apple that’s not an earth pony. Her mother was an apple but her father wasn’t. she’s vicious Twilight vicious!” she killed a boat load of Ponies but made it look like an accident! She’s E-V-I-L!” Applejack whined. “”sup’ girls? Just here to pick up the new Daring Do” Rainbow Dash entered the library. “we’re only talking about AJ”s cousin.” “which one?” Dash asked. “Sour Apple” Twilight said with ease. “S-Sour Apple?” dash gulped as she picked up the book “I-I’ll see ya guys later.” Dash darted out the door. Twilight and Applejack looked out the door. The clouds started to turn gray then black “please in the name of all things good and evil don’t let it be true. In the name of Celestia, Cadence, and Luna let it be all make believe!” Applejack said. lightning cracked and red liquid started raining from the sky. “Is this blood?” Twilight asked in horror. “I-I think so. She always had an evil effect on the weather.” Ponies were frantic and running every direction available. Pinkie Pie trotted around lifting her head to the sky to catch the rain. “This is better than the water rain. Water is boring this is much more fun and exciting! I bet it would make good cupcakes!” the pink pony said. “Pinkie get over here! And stop drinking that! It’s not healthy!” Twilight scolded. “Hey girls!” Pinkie smiled “what’s up?” “Nothing that matters. She’ll bring it all down.” Applejack moaned. “Who will?” Pinkie asked curiously “Sour Apple.” Applejack said “she’s coming.” Applejack and Twilight watched a dark winged figure fly closer to them. Pinkie was cowering with her hooves over her head. The black pegasus had Applejack’s Mane and eyes but a sly grin on her face. “Dear cousin how very nice to see you. I trust you’re doing well?” The pegasus had a sharp tone much as Princess Luna used to have. “I was till you showed up.” Applejack growled. “Good afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle.” Sour Apple stared into Twilight with cold, lifeless eyes. “This is the part where you say Howdy.” Applejack instructed. “Little cousin you know as well as I do howdy is used by ignorant ponies and I am far from ignorant. I am violence in a living form” Sour apple smirked at her cousin then grabbed AJ”s hat. “Get a dong little longie” Sour Apple made fun of her cousin’s country slang for a good 5 minutes then was soon joined by Pinkie. “Hay Pinkie!” Sour Apple yelled, sounding just like Applejack, “what am I?” “Stupid, no wait! Applejack!” Pinkie exclaimed “What’s the difference!?” Sour Apple fell to the ground and busted out laughing “That wasn’t really nice.” Pinkie said taking Applejack’s hat and giving it to her. “Oh you wouldn’t know funny if it stabbed you in the face. That gives me an idea.” Sour apple stated. Applejack stepped in front of her friend. “Oh no you don’t Pinkie Pie ain’t getting’ stabbed nowhere!” AJ said. “Who said I was going to stab her? And Applejack we’ve talked about this, ain’t is not a word.” Sour Apple teased. “It’s the dictionary!” Applejack said in her defense. “Well yes but it’s not proper grammar. Its slang and it can hurt your chances of getting something you might want like a job“ Twilight said. Applejack scowled at her lavender friend. “Sorry.” Twilight mouthed ‘cake!” Pinkie exploded. “It could ruin your chances of getting a piece of cake!” Pinkie Rambled. “Sweet little Apple Dapple” Sour Apple began “I thought we talked about you NEVER callin’ me Apple Dapple. It was my momma’s nickname for me, not yours HERS!” Applejack stormed off. “What happened to AJ’s parents?” Pinkie asked. “They were slaughtered. By orcs.” Sour Apple explained only that much. “Maybe I should find some other pony to help me.” Said the pegasus. “Help you with what?” Twilight asked. “I wanted to learn how to be honest and trustworthy like Applejack but since I was so mean to her in the past she thinks I’ll be mean to her now. But that’s how the apples are sliced I guess.” And with that Sour Apple fluttered off.
