Hello, Miss Applejack

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The next morning, I was exhausted but awaken by Sweetiebelle, Applebloom and Scootaloo's calls from my window. I replied to them, pulling my mane into a ponytail as I teleported from my room to in front of the three fillies. They smiled blissfully at me, before pushing me to a large field.

"Ah swear to you, Aurora, Sweet Apple Acres has the best darn apple y'all would have ever tasted! Right, y'all?"

"You betcha, Applebloom!" An unfamiliar voice sung out from behind us, and an orange mare with a cowgirl hat lay on her blonde mane. "Ah'm Applejack! We sure like making new friends, Aurora!" She beamed.

"Heh, I don't doubt it but could I please have my hoof back?" She let go off my hoof, and gave a 'squee'.

"Why don't you have a taste?" She bucked a large tree, and red, juicy apples poured from the sky. I reared up, watching the tumble down. My horn turned lilac, blue and pale green as I caught one in a sphere of magic, pulling it towards me for 'taste inspection'. "You're mighty good in magic for such a lil' filly! I bet you'll become an important talent like Twilight Sparkle. You haven't met 'er?"

"No."

"Then why don't we all go to her castle later? She sure does need company, you should'ah seen what she was doing after Spike left for the Crystal Fair of The Crystal Empire."

"Castle? She is an Alicorn Princess?"

"Yeah." Scootaloo buzzed her wings as much as she could, staring at the bird's in the apple tree. "I sure wish I could fly..."

"Pardon?"

"Nothing."

"Hey! She could help us! She is a crusader too. Scoots can't fly, we don't know why."

"We were wondering if you could use a spell to help teach her."

"I could make one up... Wait a second, I just thought of one! Stand in front of me!" Scootaloo darted in front of me, and as soon as i started the new spell, a magical circle appeared on the floor. My mane blew with an unnoticeable breeze forged from magic, stars began to appear inside it, and it started risting. My eyes were now a bright white, glowing blindingly. My horn ignited what looked like a firework, and suddenly, Scootaloo's orange wings began to flap. She felt energy danced through her wings while it fell and lifted, her very muscles strengthened with the magical boost. As I finished my complicated spell, I collapsed on the floor, my breathing slowly turning into soft gasps for air. My heartbeat turned from a heavy bang to a pat. My eyelids snapped shut, and yet hardly any noticed.

"I'm flying! Look, girls! I... Aurora? Aurora!" Scootaloo landed gracefully before sprinting towards her friend. "Applejack! Applejack, help us!" The orange mare leaped to action, thrusting me onto her back and galloping as fast as she could to get to Princess Twilight Sparkle. What if she didn't know what to do? Applejack's mind kept switching to worries, and her heart sunk with fear.

"Hang in there, Aurora..."
