“SUPRISE!”
Party poppers exploded in Applebloom’s ears, she had to bat her eyes and clear away a constant barrage of streamers as her irises slowly adjusted to the sudden exposure of light in front of her. The room was decked out in all manner of party decor befitting of your typical Pinkie Party™, a large banner hung at the center of the barn reading “Happy 18th birthday Applebloom!!!” Multiple tables were set up, each one holding either a game or a smorgasbord of her favorite food and drinks. At the other end of the barn, all her friends and family were their, smiling at the filly now a mare.
Applebloom was even able to hear Bab’s distantly saying. “It’s an alright party I guess, not as good as mine though! We got to play ‘Hunt the Changeling in the forest’ game!”
“Aw schucks guys, ya shouldn’t have!” Applebloom claimed in barely contained excitement.
“You kiddin? Mah little girl’s finally a woman!” Applejack threw a hoof around her sister’s neck, Applebloom could of swore she saw a tear in her eye. “Why if ah didn’t go all out, I’d hate mahself for it.”
“Cake, or presents first?” Big Mac asked.
“Presents of course!” Applebloom cheered.
Everyone came up to her personally to hand her their gifts. Sweetie Belle was last in line and didn’t seem to have a present. “Where’s your gift, Sweetie Belle?” Applebloom questioned.
“Oh, don’t worry. My present comes later.” Sweetie Belle said while giving Applebloom a rather seductive wink.
Applebloom wasn’t sure if it was the wink itself or the sultry tone in her friend’s voice, but whatever it was it made her face flush pink and gave her a anxious feeling that she didn’t exactly hate.
“Wha-what do ya mean Sweetie?” in reply, Sweetie gave a rather mischievous smile and leaned in close to her as if to whisper something, but before she could…
“ Goddesses this is cool! So how does it feel now to be an adult, huh?” Scootaloo shot in between them, focusing her large eyes on Applebloom.
“U-Uhm...it feels...mysterious..” Applebloom said, not bothering to make eye contact with Scootaloo and instead kept staring directly into Sweetie Belle’s mesmerizing eyes.
“Why are you guys looking at each other like th-” but before Scootaloo could finish her sentence, music started blaring as DJ P0N3 started playing rave music.
The rave seemed to last into the night due to the popular demand of party-goers. Applebloom was picking at a half eaten piece of cake with her fork, still thinking about that look Sweetie had in her eyes. Almost as though Applebloom was a psychic, she lifted her head up to see Sweetie staring at the table with her, staring with that same look on her face she had only hours ago. “Are you ready for your gift? The best is always saved for last.” Sweetie Belle asked.
Applebloom bit her lip. “Oh yes I am.”
“Meet me in your room.” Sweetie Belle said, swaying her hips seductively while walking towards the exit.
After a painstakingly long time that involved talking with scootaloo, telling her sister she was gonna take a pass on the next game of bobbing for apples, and assuring Pinkie that the party was perfect, Applebloom snuck out of the barn with relative ease. She slowly and quietly entered her house and inched her way up the stairs to her room. Applebloom slowly opened the door, anxious to see what lied beyond the door. “You in here Sweetie?”
“Yes, yes I am.”
Applebloom entered the room and saw Sweetie lying under the covers of her bed, surrounded by lit candles. She was also able to see a visibly wet spot on the sheets. “Why are my sheets wet?”
“Why don’t you come over here and find out.”
“It would be my pleasure.”
“Are you ready?” But before Applebloom could answer Sweetie already jumped on her, their mouths locked in a deep kiss, Applebloom reeled in surprise not only from the sudden attack but also from her partner’s skilled tounge, they stayed on the ground for a while, tounges in a fight for dominance that Sweetie was obviously winning before she finally broke the kiss allowing Applebloom to breathe a trail of saliva was all that connected them. It took Applebloom a few moments to catch her breath before she was finally able to reply to Sweetie’s question.
“I was born ready.”
That’s when they were able to hear a muffled voice from the inside of her closet. “BUT WERE YOU READY FOR THIS!?” AppleJack yelled as she kicked down the closet door. “I KNEW I SMELLED LESBIAN ACTIVITY GOIN’ ON IN MAH HOUSE!”
As she said that, Big Mac simultaneously entered the room wielding a Browning A-Bolt II Hunter Bolt-Action Rifle with a recoil suppression stock, extended magazine, and hollow point rounds . “Get in the damn corner and don’t move a inch, ya demon!”
“NO, THIS ISN’T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!” Applebloom yelled.
AppleJack charged towards Applebloom while snapping a belt in her hands. “I DIN’T RAISE YA TO BE LIKE THIS!”
Sweetie Belle sat in the corner and watched in fear as her friend got beat mercilessly by AppleJack.
After what seemed like hours of sitting in that corner, Applebloom was finally out cold from the events that have unfolded. AppleJack breathed heavily as she calmed down a bit.
“Hey sis, what should we do ‘bout this satin spawn over here?” Big Mac asked.
“I know exactly what we need to do.”
Applebloom woke up with a jolt as water filled her lungs.
“The waterboarding technique worked AppleJack!” Big Mac said.
After the sack was lifted off of Applebloom’s head she was able to visibly see Sweetie Belle nailed to a cross in the corner of the room. “What are you guys doing!?”
“It’s time we punish you for the sins you’ve committed!” AppleJack said.
“W-what are ya gonna do?”
“Get up and carry that damn cross to the center of town! Everyone needs to know what happened here.”
“Such a sunny morning, isn’t it sister?” Celestia asked Luna.
“Why of cou-” But before Luna could finish her sentence a guard came rushing into the room.
“HEY PRINCESS! THE TOWN’S FOLK ARE GATHERING UP FOR ANOTHER PURIFICATION!”
“Finally, I haven’t got to see this since those disgusting Flim Flam brothers committed homosexual twincest.”
As Celestia approached the center of town she was able to see ponies gathering from everywhere while AppleJack whipping Applebloom and yelling “LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE CAUSED!” as Sweetie Belle dangled, barely alive, from a cross.
As a crowd gathered, various ponies were pouring gasoline around the cross while whistling show tunes. “Ha! I had a hunch those two nerds were a bunch a’ carpet munchers!” Babs yelled as she left the scene with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Probably to get fitted for matching leather jackets.
“What are you guys doing to my friends!?” Scootaloo asked in fear.
Snowflake grabbed her head and forced her eyes to widen in the direction of the commotion. “I want you to observe what’s going on. You can’t be friends with these abominations anymore!”
“BIBLES! GET YA BIBLES! FRESH SINCE YESTADAY!” a street vendor was yelling.
The crowd parted and Rarity slowly walked up to the cross. “Please sister, save me!” Sweetie Belle yelled.
“Never! I knew you were a mistake from the start! You are a disgrace to our family and I am extremely disappointed in you! You are officially disowned!” Rarity said before spitting in Sweetie Belle’s face and walking away.
“I will now read your last rights.” A priest cleared his throat and continued. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.”
Just as a pony threw a lit match into the pit of gasoline, an AppleJack voodoo doll fell out of Sweetie’s skin pocket and into the fire. As soon as Sweetie Belle lit up into flames, so did AppleJack. Although AppleJack did not commit any crimes, it still just made the crowd cheer louder, for the heretic was burned dutifully.
