Previous ChapterNext ChapterYears had passed for the girls, and Rarity's and Applejack's lives were probably the most changed. Rarity had moved into the barn, of course after somehow merging her boutique with the barn, so that one of the entrances led into the main room of the former boutique.
The now five year old twins, who had yet to start school, were half close/half fighting which was weird. They appeared to have their off-days with each other, normally they were super close and if you saw one, the other probably wasn't to far away. But the off-days happened and they would be bickering a lot.
Melody had grown pretty staggering and was taller then Harmony, her mane was styled very much like her 'daddy' and she even had a cowboy hat, with a bow, thanks to her mommy. She loved bucking trees and playing the flute. She also always would were her note pendent even though she didn't know what it could do.
Harmony was pretty small for her age, though she was more mature then her sister and the feminine one of the twins. Her hair was normally styled so that a bit stuck out at the front, while the crest would style around her neck. She had developed a love in fashion, much like her mommy, to the point that she could sew dresses despite being a earth pony and she also played the tambourine. Like her sister, she would always were her pendent.
''Mommy!'' came a scream from the apple fields.
Rarity groaned, she knew exactly who it was. Harmony, her earth pony filly counterpart in personality. Was she really like that though?
She moved from her work and walked out of the boutique's door and walked over to the wailing filly. All the filly had was a bit of dirt on her perfectly white coat, which left Rarity wondering. How could a apple family member hate mud so much?
''Sweetie, the dirt is not gonna hurt you.'' said Rarity, despite the fact she hated mud herself. ''Now come along, we should get your a bath.''
''Okay, mommy.'' said the young earth pony.
The pair walked inside and upstairs to the bathroom, or what could be referred to as a bathroom. It was only a tub made of wood though what less could you expect of the apple family.
With her magic, Rarity helped Harmony into the tub. She realized then that their wasn't any water. She groaned and banged her hoof on the pipe which was used to bring rain water into the tub from a secret place they collected it in. Water began pouring into the tub yet drained out of another pipe which was at the bottom of the tub.
After scrubbing the filly clean of all mud, Rarity helped her daughter out with magic and the pair walked out of the bathroom.
''I just realized something, Harm. Where's your sister?''
''Mel? Or Apple Jewel?''
''You know which, Apple Jewel is still a foal.''
''Yeah yeah, I know. Fine, she's with daddy in the fields. How does she buck those trees anyway?''
''How should I know, it made my legs sore for a week.''
''Same here.'' groaned Harm. ''I'm gonna go check on Jewel.''
''Sure, I'll find your dad and get her back her.''
Harm nodded and ran off to the nursery, walking inside. The nursery was a small thing, with a single crib. Though there was a pile of toys in one corner, a bin in an another. The wallpaper was blue with a line of duckies running across it. Playing on the apple printed white carpet was a small filly, Jewel.
Jewel was a white unicorn with a blonde mane and green eyes so almost identical to her but with a horn and green eyes instead. The filly was playing with what appeared to be a live white mouse. Jewel, despite her name, was nothing like Rarity. She was so similar to Fluttershy that you would think that she was Flutter's instead of Rarity's.
''Hello, little one.''
The filly just cooed in response, unable to talk yet. Harm giggled but then jumped as the door opened unexpectedly to reveal Mel, and she looked annoyed.
''Ugh, Harm! What in equestria!? Why did you just leave when you were meant to be working!'' she yelled.
Even Harm groaned at this, it was clearly gonna be on of those bad days. Jewel watched as the two fillies began bickering about why Harm wasn't doing her bucking job and giggling.
''Ugh, the baby's giggling now.'' groaned Mel, before leaving, slamming the door shut with her magic.
Which only resulted in a loud bang, which scared Jewel and caused her to cry and for a piece of wood to dropped from the ceiling and onto Harm's head, messing her mane up.
''Ow...Goddammit, Mel. Why does today have to be one of those days.''
Rarity and Applejack walked in, having heard Jewel's crying from the lower parts of the barn. Rarity walked over to Jewel, and attempted to calm the young unicorn down while Applejack went over to Harm.
''Harm, why do you have a piece of wood on your head?''
''Cause Mel came in here, began yelling at me then slammed the door causing the ceiling to break and land on me.'' growled Harm, in annoyance.
Applejack signed, and shared a look with Rarity. Their foals were a pain in the neck at times, clearly.
Later that night though was a lot better.
Harmony and Melody shared one room as there was only three bedrooms, and one had been converted into a nursery. The twins room wasn't much, much like the nursery, it contained a wardrobe, two single beds and a carpet, but that was pretty much it.
Harm lay awake on her bed, with a bandage around her head from earlier. Mel hadn't come up yet, having to have to chat with her parents about what happened before. Though when she came up, her face only showed regret.
''Harm?''
''Yeah?''
''I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled, nor should I have slammed the door, I mean, you got hurt because of me.'' said Mel, her voice cracking at times.
''Ah, it's alright, Mel. You didn't mean it for starters and plus, I shouldn't have skipped out of chores.''
''Y-you forgive me then?'' asked Mel.
''Yep.''
The twins hugged each other with a smile planted on both their faces. Even though they fought, they were always make up before the end of the day which was good.
