The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

It was a cold day with rain coming down in small droplets and a dark overcast polluting the sky. It was also a sad day in Ponyville. The kin of the Element of Honesty was going to be laid to an eternal rest. The funeral procession in itself looked like a party. Black balloons strung up next to the coffin, a black coffin, even the ponies that showed up was dressed in black. If it was any other pony not this many ponies would show up. A young pony decided to take her own self out of this cruel world a week ago and Ponyville hasn’t been the same since. The lifeless yellow filly laid in the coffin with a red bow in her hair that matched her red hair and she looked peaceful. She finally looked…Happy. A since of joy was over her face. Her suffering was over. Even though she wouldn’t begin to live out her life in the endless hell that was her life she could start anew. She would finally meet her mom and dad. As she laid there she was wondering what would be of this new life. Who knows she might find love here. The small apple filly looked at rest. In fact it would have looked as if she died in her sleep but all of Ponyville knew. She didn’t want to be dressed up in her coffin so the mark of her death could be shown. So it could be shown at what a Celestia damned cruel world this was. A red rope mark was around the filly’s neck. There was actually an indent into the skin where the throat sunk in. When she was being brought down from her hanging place the only way to get the rope off was to crush her windpipe completely. Pinkie Pie who was known for throwing parties hosted her funeral. Her colors were drained and her hair deflated. She set up her funeral. Black balloons on one side of the rows and red on the other. Red and black were Apple Bloom’s favorite colors after all.

Pinkie Pie was sobbing into her lover’s coat. Rainbow Dash just held her closer. Pinkie was distraught. She wanted to do the funeral at no cost to Apple Jack but she never imagined at the time of the funeral it would be this hard. She even cried harder when she remembered Apple Bloom’s suicide note. In fact Rainbow Dash almost bucked Apple Jack to once side of Equestria and back. The note mentioned everything that happened. The beatings she would get Apple Jack’s reaction. That’s what got Rainbow pissed off the most. She knew her religious standings but to threaten her little sister with eternal damnation for something she couldn't control was ludicrous. Rainbow Dash just held Pinkie there in her hooves. No one expected this. Hell no one expected Apple Bloom to die this way. Last week she was out trying to find her cutie mark and here she is one week later with a cutie mark on her flank and about to be buried six hooves under. Rainbow Dash was known for being the top of her and Pinkie’s relationship but was crying into her lover’s mane also. They both held each other crying as a filly lay in a casket.

Princess Twilight was dressed in black as was her lover, Trixie. Trixie came down from Manehatten to comfort Twilight of her student’s untimely death. Trixie had a custom dress and hat made for such an occasion. Twilight on the other hoof just wanted to be dressed in a black veil to match Apple Jack’s but decided to match her significant other and have a black robe made for her. She stepped up to the pedestal behind the casket. She didn’t know what to say. Her student just laid there lifeless and unmoving. “As much as I would like to say something,” she started with a raspy voice “I just can’t. This filly was being tortured and now some ponies believe she’s suffering in hell for all eternity. That’s ludicrous. Princess Celestia knew the trouble she was going through. Filly fooler or not Princess Celesita only sends ponies who are evil to hell. Not filly foolers or gays. In fact Celestia herself is bi.” With that the crowd was aghast. No ponies knew about Princess Celestia’s sexuality except for Twilight. “This filly, I have no doubt, Is with Celestia waiting for the right time to go to heaven.” Many ponies at that got up and walked away. They were shocked at the blasphemy coming out of the Princess’ mouth. After that the casket was closed was being buried in the ground. Scootaloo felt a ping of regret for she was there and so was Sweetie Belle. They bullied her and now she was gone. They had no idea the trouble she was going through at home. Scootaloo was crying. She didn't know why. In truth she was scared. Rainbow Dash yelled at her for the first time saying that Apple Bloom’s death was her fault. That she should be banished to the sun for ending her life. Scootaloo felt sad. She was in truth scared about her hanging out with a filly fooler and a blank flank and that’s why she would bully and beat Apple Bloom. She was going through an eternal hell. Apple Jack was going through the same. Her little sister killed herself and no matter what Twilight said Apple Bloom is rotting in hell. She believed she wouldn't be seeing Apple Bloom in heaven. Apple Jack was looking into the hole her sister was being laid in and walked away. She was a disgrace to the Apple family. Sweetie Belle spat in the grave and Rarity hit her with her hoof. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie went home because Pinkie was too sad. Twilight and Trixie was holding each other watching as Twilight’s former student being lowered into a six foot hole in the ground. Twilight threw a rose onto the casket and Trixie did something no pony would have thought of. “Stop!” She yelled as they stopped lowering the casket into the hole. She levitated the lid open and reached into one of her saddle bags. A hat the same one she wore was made to perfectly fit a young filly. “If you were a unicorn, you would have made a fine magician.” With that she laid the hat onto the filly and closed the lid. That one action that day brought everyone to tears.
