"Cock-a-doodle-doo!Cock-a-doodle-doo!"the rooster started crowing.In Sweet Apple Acres it starts very early.Maybe a bit too early.I was still in my bed sheets,I just took my stuffed pillow and shoved it on my head.Then I had a glimpse at the clock.It was 4 AM.
"Wow.Really?4 AM?*sigh*Our rooster needs to fix it's brain...",I said and magically fell for sleep's magic.I don't think I dreamed of anything,I just had a very deep sleep.More like a nap,but it felt like swimming in a river during a hot summer.Calm and refreshing...
I heard the rooster again."Time to wake up.Dammit,forgot about school!",I shouted and then realized my lil' sis was still asleep."Shit!I was already told that she has insomnia!But I just had to wake her up at 6 AM,didn't I?,then I heard loud footsteps."This is it.I should say goodbye to my phone,",I whispered to myself.The footsteps got louder and louder,and they finally reached the door.I could feel the anger in her face,like she wanted to tear my guts out because I woke her up.
"Applejack!Was that ya?Ah barely slept tonight,and now thanks to ya,I'm gonna be really sleepy all day!",the girl shouted.
"Okay,AJ.Think fast.How can I lie to her?Wait...I think I know!",I thought while getting dressed and putting stuff in my backpack.I quickly opened the door and ran as fast as I could.I knew I was making a mistake,but I just pretended to be late.
"Hey!Where are ya goin'?",she said.
I just neglected.In a blink of an eye I was already at the back door,then I opened it and ran to the bus station.In a couple of minutes,my bus arrived.I felt kinda bad,but then the bus stopped and it wrecked my train of thoughts.It was 6:35 AM,and the school was unlocked seconds ago.No one excpect the staff was in school.Everyone looked at me.The school looked so blank with no students...Like an apple tree without apples.Like me without my friends.I could hear banging through the windows:I came into the building just in time,because it started raining.There was barely any sound.Only the rain and teachers' footsteps could be heard.But then I heard a deep,adult female's voice.It was vice principal Luna.She was chatting with her sister,but suddenly her eyes looked at me.I answered with an eybrow raise.I was really good at body language,so I could undestand her glare.It meant:"What are you doing here?",so then I understood I shouldn't be here.
"Miss Applejack,why are you here this early?Students are supposed to show up only at 7:20 AM.A good explanation is needed!",she said.
I didn't know whether I should tell her the fact that I ran here because I didn't want to get punished because I shamelessly woke up my sister with insomnia,or lie that I wanted to prepare for the test.I was never a good liar,so I just let out a barely recognizable groan.
"I...Need to ah...Study.Yes.Study!",I smiled like there were threads attached to my mouth that held it up really high,"That probably should be why Rarity calls it a fake smile.No emotion,no understanding,just a fake grin,",I thought.I started sweating,that's a way to spot a liar.Luna raised her eybrow,but she fell for it.
"Well,I guess I have a chance to explore the school,"It's crazy how I've never been to all places,even though I spend 3 years in here.I just hung out with my friends during free time,so I didn't explore anything.I walked up to the trophy stand."Wow,all my friends have done something.Excpect me.Man,I'm so boring,",I said.The first 3 trophies were Rainbow Dash's:she won a lot of sports tournaments.Then,Rarity won the "Best designer 2014 "award.Fluttershy and Twilight share the "Animal shelter kindness"award.And finally,Pinkie proudly owns the "Fall Formal 2014 best party EVER!"award.They all have done something...But I haven't...The only thing I ever did was carry apple juice around like a weirdo.Then I continued walking around.Nothing special,just shitty posters,timetables and lockers.The rain was louder and louder,like someone was banging on a metal door.
"I'm like the only student who hasn't done anything memorable.Rainbow won 3 sport tournaments,Trixie graduated with A's since 1'st grade.Why?",I thought.I looked at my watch.It was 6:55 AM,and the whole school was explored.Didn't have much to do after that."Maybe I should go to the yard...",I whispered.It was still raining,but for some reason,I loved rain.The feel of drops on my cheeks was priceless,I could stand in the rain forever.Just then,I heard a familiar voice.At first I couldn't recognize it,because of the rain,but then I started running.I already knew who it was,and I wanted to greet her as fast as possible.My best friend!
"Man,fuck rain.Forgot my darn umbrella as always,"the girl said.She looked really pissed and wet.
"Hiiii!Missed ya!",I hugged her.I knew I was overreacting a bit,but she was gone for 1 month.Understandable.Kind of.
"What the..?AJ?Oh my fucking gosh,missed you soo much too!",Rainbow said.I could feel how happy she was just by looking at her.I couldn't wait anymore,I just had to ask:
"So where have you been?Why didn't you ever call?",I started interrogating.
"Well,I was travelling all around the wide world.I didn't call,because I ran out of battery life,and forgot my charger.And sorry if I pissed you off,but my parents gifted me this trip,and even a bit more...",she said.I felt like a stone fell of my heart,I thought she was kidnapped or somethin'.I know that was silly,but I'm the one that usually looks after all friends.
"What was that?I'm curious as hell!"
"A car!Can you believe it?I got A FUCKING CAR!That means you won't need to use the bus to go home!",she shouted.At first I got a bit confused.But then I understood that she offered me a free ride.
"Do you have a driver's license yet?",I asked:I didn't want to get in any trouble.It would be mortifying to get expelled right before prom.
"Of coure I do,silly pants.I mean..,I'm YOLO as shit all the time but...Uh...",she said.I think I knew what she wanted to say,and as much as I know her,she really likes prom,but she acts way too tomboy for that.Might be a bit embarrassing.It probably is.
"You're afraid to be disallowed to go to the prom,right?"
"Kind of.Please don't tell anyone else...It's very embarrasing,but I was waiting for this moment since I was very small.And I want it to be special,",the girl barely whispered.I understood how she felt,since I'm looking for to that very much too.
"You and me both,",I laughed.Then I saw the rest of the mane 6 come."Look,Rainbow,there's the rest!",I screamed.It seemed like the best day of the year,for some reason.Maybe because of the rain,or maybe because of her...
