"Cock a doodle doo!" The rooster crowed as the sun rose over the hilltop.

"YAWN" Apple Jack stretched and got out of bed, another hard day working on the farm. She took a quick shower and tossed on her work clothes, an orange plaid shirt with long blue jeans. Her blonde hair was braided and held by an apple shaped pin. She also had on a pair of cowboy boots and hat. She stepped out of her room, seeing Granny Smith sleeping on the couch with the TV on. Apple Jack turned the TV off which startled Granny. "Who turned the Telly off! My favorite show was going!"

"The show ended a while Granny, I told you to stop watching those late night operas. You know how expensive electricity is." Applejack scolded as she headed outside.

Big Mac was chopping logs for the winter. Knowing how early it was predicted to come, Apple Jack thought it best to have double the usual stock.

"Hey Big Mac, you have seen Apple Bloom? She wasn't in her room."

"Yep." Big Mac pointed at the old family tree house.

"Figures she would go there. Well, I best finish my morning chores before school, Make sure Granny stays off the TV and if you can, check the barn. I think I saw a loose nail last night."

"Yep," Big Mac responded before chopping more wood.

Apple Jack went to the tree house. Climbing up the ladder, she saw her little sister inside staring out the window. "There you are, Apple Bloom! You okay? Normally you sleep like a bug at this time."

"Ya, I'm fine. Just thinking about…you know, what today is,” Apple Bloom said, looking at the barn across the field.

Apple Jack sat next to Apple Bloom, looking at the same barn "I know what you mean sugar cube; I miss them too."

FLASHBACK

A storm rolled in, causing vast flashes of thunder and lighting. Orange Meringue Pie grasped her chest, "My goodness, I hope the barn animals are okay." Sweet Apple just laughed at his wife’s worries "It’s no concern to me. Me and Big Mac made sure it was secure before the storm rolled in, isn't that right kiddo."

"Yep," Big Mac responded while boarding up the windows.

"I just always get anxious. You know how much I hate these storms.” Orange had a big fear of Storms, thankfully she had a family to comfort her.

"THE PIGS ARE LOOSE" Granny screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Easy Ma, what's wrong!? Couldn't hear you over the storm." Sweet Apple calmed her down

"It's the pigs! The storm hit their pen, now they’re runnin’ loose. We gotta do something."

Sweet Apple grabbed his coat. "I'll deal with this mess. The rest of you stay here."

His wife grabbed his arm "No, hun! It's much too dangerous! Please don't go! Wait until the storm calms down." Soon a baby's crying was heard, and Apple Jack came down with her baby sister. "I can't get Apple Bloom to calm down. The storm is too noisy for her to sleep."
Sweet Apple kissed his wife's forehead, "I will only be gone for a moment. You should see Apple Bloom."

Orange’s eyes cried for a moment then went to Apple Bloom. It had been an hour since Sweet Apple walked out to take care of the pigs.

"Has your Pa returned yet?" Orange asked her son, Big Mac.

"Nope" was his only response.

Feeling worried something might have happened, Orange Meringue Pie grabbed her jacket. "Both of your sisters are asleep with Granny watching over them. I should be gone only for a few minutes with your Pa." And just like that, she walked out the door into the storm, never to be seen again.

TODAY

"And in the end, what they said was a lie," Apple Bloom said sadly.

"Now you hold your tongue there little missy. They didn't lie, it was all an unexpected matter." Apple Jack scolded her younger sister. "Now look here, it's not healthy to gloom over the past. Why Pa would be all over you like a bull if he saw you acting this way. For his sake, and Ma, why don't you go get changed into school clothes" Apple Jack was going to be brutally honest on the matter at hand.

"Ok, I'll go do that." Apple Bloom was feeling a little better, but still, the whole loss of her parents left a big hole in her heart. With that taken care of Apple Jack went about doing her morning chores on the farm. As soon as that was all done, she returned to her room to change into better clothes for school.

Applejack wore a white collared shirt with a bolo tie with a golden apple and grey sweater vest with the school logo on it, a sun with a crescent moon. She wore grey school pants, held up by a red belt with an apple buckle and her cowboy hat and boots.

"Hey sis you ready yet? We should get going." Apple Bloom Shouted.

"Of course hold your horses" Apple Bloom grabbed the keys to the family truck and headed out to school.
