Unwanted

Apple bumpkin wiped sweat of her brow arching it in concentration. She pushed through a tangle of weeds trying to avoid the sharp edges. She had heard rumors of bad things lurking here and not to trust ponies. Especially the blanked. She wasn't worried about running into those things though. She continued on observing every fruit bearing tree. After an hour or so she appeared at an orchard full of fresh zap apples. She plucked them off the trees and gathered them in her hooves. As she plucked the second to last one off the tree she spotted a gem faintly shining in the tangling branches. She reached out for it her eyes mesmerized before she slapped herself. She shouldn't trust random gems but it was so so so tempting. She slapped herself again. She couldn't do this. She picked up the apples ready to go when she dropped them running over to the gem. She had never had a beautiful thing in her life and now. She could. She grabbed the gem cradling it in her hooves like a baby. The blue gem peered up at her with bright blue eyes making sad singing noises. Apple bumpkin screamed and dropped it on the ground making the gem make sad singing noises. The gem all of a sudden turned into a rabbit and scampered off. "Wait don't be alarmed!" Apple bumpkin yelled chasing after it. She cried out as she fell down a hole into a damp cave. She looked at a small pond in the cave decorated with tulips. What was it about a cloning pond? Ah well she was thirsty. Apple bumpkin kneeled down and put her lips to the water.
