After a tragic accident involving Applebloom, Applejack documents on her in her new diary...

Applejack's little sis, Applebloom, was hit by an unexpected event that could cost her her life. Twilight has given her a diary so she can copy whatever Applebloom does and the events around her, hoping that she will read this...
She also hopes that she doesn't...pass away...

Apple Stroked

May 20, 2013(Diary Entry)

Dear AppleBloom,

If you're reading this, this means that...well...you're okay. This is your big sis who has written this, Applejack, and...I just wanted to let you know that you're about to read what has been goin' on when you were sleepin'. (Sorry about the stains...I'm just...heart-broken right now...) I also want you to know that...I love you. I've always have and always will... I'll see you when you wake up...we all will. Love, Applejack

Well, I told the girls what happened. They were as shattered as me. Rarity and Fluttershy ran away, cryin', Twilight felt...how do ya say..."shakin' up" and she sat down and weeped silently, Pinkie Pie just ran to her home, cryin', and as for Rainbow Dash...she threw a fit, breakin' the nearest apple cart, fell down and curled up cryin' as well. I sat there and held her head in my hooves, stroking her mane, but she wouldn't stop sobbin' and hiccupin' and...I just couldn't help myself, so I cried with her...because we all love you. I couldn't tell Big Mac or Grammy...they were too far away, but I'm sure they will make you have the best time of your life once you come home...so...I hope you feel better... Love, Applejack

Hi, Applebloom...look, I know that what happened to you was just a horrible accident, but I'm gonna find out who did this to you, no matter what! I'll hunt that maniac down and teach him/her a lesson! No one hurts one of my friends...especially my friend's sister! Everything's gonna be alright...I'm gonna make things right...I'll never let you down...I'll...I'll...(Rainbow Dash stopped writing at this point and sobbed on the blank space. Written in marker it says, "I'm sorry...Rainbow Dash)

Hi...it's Pinkie here...just wanted to let you know that you're gonna be okay. Once you've leave the hospital, we're gonna fave fun together, just you and me! We're gonna have lots of fun playing your favorite games, making cupcakes, go camping, swimming, baking, having sleep-overs...I wanna do those things with you, because I never had the chance to do those things...and most of all, YOU have never gotten the chance to do those things, yet. Why, you've never even gotten your cutie mark yet...but you will...you're gonna be fine. I made you a vanilla flavored cupcake with lemon frosting, covered in cinnamon flakes and a chocolate drizzle. I can't remember your favorite flavor because a lot of things are running around my mind that are WAY too important than just a cupcake flavor...I mean, just last night I was at the side of your bed, crying, praying to Celestia not to take you away...which was...uncommon of me. I hope you feel better soon. Love, Pinkie Pie :)

Dear Applebloom,
I just wanted to let you know that we loved you. I also wanted to tell you that I was the one who gave Applejack this diary so you could read it when you wake up. Rarity and Fluttershy didn't want to write to you, yet. I guess they needed some time to cool off from what they've heard. Oh, Applebloom, I hope you feel better soon! We miss you...we all miss you. I couldn't get to sleep because of this. I'd just cried and cried until either I ran out of tears or until morning. (Or both) I hope that we could spend some quality time together so that we can work on getting your cutie mark...I imagine that it's going to be a beautiful white flower, just like the ones Applejack's apple trees have before they turn into apples. Oh, I wish you would go home right now...we all do. Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle

Love And Beyond

Hey. I brought you a little gift from Rarity. It's a sweet, little plush doll of a kitten. I guess she thought about you then thought about Opal...funny how things work out like that. We miss you a whole lot, even Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell. They were a little upset when I told them that you were at the hospital, but they were okay with it, seeing as though I didn't tell them what happened to you. Oh, and by the way, we're gonna be out of town for a little bit, so it's gonna be a while until the next entry. We'll see you later...I hope. Love, Applejack

Hey, Applebloom. It's me, Scoots. I just wanna say that...well...you're the coolest friend I've ever had (except for Sweetie). I also want to say that I have no idea why I couldn't see you at the hospital or why I had to write down what I have to say on this piece of paper, so...yeah...see you later... ---Scootaloo

Well...we're back, or we were already back four days ago. We had to do a little somethin' for Cheerilee as she was wantin' to remodel the school. I think your gonna like the new look once you come back home. The doctor says that it's gonna be a while before you wake up, so we're lookin' forward to it! I can't wait to wrap my hooves around you again! I promise you that no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you! Love, Applejack

Hello, darling. I'm sorry that I waited too long to write to you, but I was shocked that you were in this accident and I just...broke out into tears, 24/7.I managed to stop wallowing and start being more productive with my work as well as trying to cope with the fact that you were in this ever-so-depressing event that could have cost you your life. I look forward to meeting you again. In the meantime, have fun with your plushie I made. Sincerely, Rarity

Hi, Applebloom. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. You were always one of my best friends. I'll never forget the day I've babysat you, along with your friends. Although you caused a little trouble with the cockatrice, you were the most well-behaved, and so were Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell. Every night since the accident I cried myself to sleep. I just couldn't shake the memory of Applejack telling us about what happened to you. But this will all be over...I promise...and...I just wanted to...let...you know...that...I...I...love you... Love, Fluttershy(The last two words were half smeared because of Fluttershy's tears)

June 29, 2013(Diary Entry)
Hey...Listen, we just figured out who was responsible for what happened to you. Of course we talked to him, and he's been taken to the Courthouse where he'll be tried. I hope he gets what he's deserved! Let this be a lesson to ya...don't do the wrong thing, or the past will catch up to ya! But...I guess you probably know that...so...yeah. I'll see you soon! Love, Applejack

The Darkest Day

July 1, 2013(Diary Entry)
Hey. Well, it's official. The colt behind it all was sentenced to about 30 years in prison. Justice was achieved and we all celebrated! Hooray! The doc said that it shouldn't be long before you wake up! Just a couple more days to go...we're so excited! We love you... Love, Applejack P.S. I slept with you last night because I was visiting you and I couldn't help myself but to stroke your mane, then I grew tired...

July 2, 2013(Diary Entry)
Today was the day we all dreaded... You were supposed to wake up from the coma today, but your heart slowed down and it was like you were going to die...but thankfully you didn't, but it's gonna be a longer time for you to wake up. We're so upset at this, not at you. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not your fault! But we had a full day planned just for you, and now we have to reschedule. But hey, you will wake up soon...real soon...real soon. Love, Applejack

July 6, 2013(Diary Entry)
Things aren't going as planned, now. It's taking a longer time for you to get up from this. Even the doctor had asked if I should pull the plug. I'm scared beyond thought, sis. I don't want to give up on you! You have a whole life to live! I want you to live...I want you to get your cutie mark...I want you to get married...have a child...so that I could be proud of you...and...I want you to keep loving us. I want to make this accident thing all go away...but the clock is ticking. You have to wake up...you just have to... Love, Applejack (The page is sprinkled with tears)

Last Farewell

June 21, 2013
Applejack walked into Nurse Redheart's office and sat down in one of the two wooden chairs. The nurse stepped out from the back room and sat in her rolling chair, shuffled some papers, and spoke in the softest voice. "Applejack, I know this must be hard for you to understand, but Applebloom...she's..." Redheart drifted off, knowing that the words she was about to say would only crush her heart more. Applejack knew what she was going to say and her eyes widened. "No. No, she can't! She can't be! NO! NO!" "I'm sorry, Applejack. There's nothing we can do. Except one thing." Applejack understood what she needed to do. After she left the office, the poor orange mare walked into Applebloom's room, and, with a tearful heart and sunken feelings, kissed her on the head. "I'm sorry," she whispered. She then stepped back from her bed as the nurse pulled the plug of the machine. The beeping stopped. The machine ceased to work. Now all that was left was the sleeping body of Applebloom.

August 20, 2013(Note to Celestia)
Dear Celestia,
I just got back from the funeral. I have never felt so much pain before in my life ever since my parents died. I was so saddened that I almost cried myself to sleep. Rainbow Dash cradled me in her hooves, cryin' as well. I don't know what to do now. My life has now turned into a complete disaster. I've lost my dearest sister and now I'm thinkin' that I should just end it all. Please, help me. I don't know what to do! Please take care of Applebloom, also. I love her more than life itself. Please... Sincerely, Applejack(The letter was speckled with tear drops)

August 20, 2013
After sending her letter to Spike, which he did by burning it so that turned it into a magical mist, Applejack went back to her Sweet Apple Acres,went up to her room, and slept on her bed for a good 6 hours, knowing that Applebloom was now somewhere happy and joyful. After she had woken up, she just laid there, silently crying to herself as she stares at the book that contained the most recent memories of her dearest sister. It was then that her life was changed forever.
