Amber and Emeralds

Big Mac froze at the sight before him before anger and confusion began to take over her snorted and charged forward, stopping short of spike. He then turned around 180 degrees and bucked him out of the two story window of applebloom's room. He landed in a pile of hay with a sickening thud. Applebloom screamed again.

"Big Mac! What the hay did you do?!" She asked as she looked through her shattered window." Did you just buck spike out the window?!" She turns to him angrily.

"Eyup." He said looking quite pleased with himself.

"Didn't applejack tell you? Spike accidentally drank a love potion!" She starts hopping from hoof to hoof worriedly.

His eyes widened." Nope."

"Well let hurry up and make sure he ain't dead!" She said sprinting out of the room and down the stairs.

"Eyup." Big Mac said as he followed suit.

When they arrived by the pile of hay they could hear groaning and spike popped his head out. His eyes were closed and he was clutching to bump on his head.

"Wow.....I'm honestly surprised he isn't dead." She pokes him and he falls back into the hay.

"Eyup." Big Mac nods as applejack sprinted out of the house and over to the two.

"What the hay happened?! I hear ya scream and your window was broken!" Applejack said looking around.

"Why don't ya ask Big Mac." She said angrily hitting him with her hoof.

"What did you do now?!" Applejack frowned.

"Ah might've bucked spike outta two story window." She said nervously rubbing the back of his head.

Applejack shook her head." You what?!" She looks around for spike who was still in the hay.

"Come on applejack he fine." Big Mac said lifting him out of the hay." See! Fit as a fiddle." He tried to help spike stand but spike fell forward and landed on his face and groaned into the dirt. Applebloom couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Applebloom, WE are going to go take spike back to twilight and then head out for zecoras hut, I expect to see you there." Applejack said as Big Mac started complaining.

"Why do I gotta?!" He groaned before applejack glared at him.

"Cause your the pony who kicked him out of a two story window, and your fixin it when you come home too." She says lifting spike to his feet." Got it?!" She growls.

"Eyup." He says sadly and helps her carry him.

Applebloom shakes her head and walks back to the house. She spends about another hour in the apple cellar before she finally successfully recreates the potion. She decided not to bring the whole cauldron. And instead she would simply ask Zecora how to destroy it. Applebloom scooped some of the pink shimmering potion into a beaker and sealed the top. She bolted her cauldron lid shut and placed it inside an apple barrel for safe keeping. Applebloom began to make her way across town toward the everfree forest. Her mind wandered back to that morning when spike kissed her. Even though it wasn't an ideal situation to have it, he first kiss wasn't that bad. She could even describe it as being comical, the way Big Mac kicked spike out of the window. She found herself giggling at the memory of spikes face. Applebloom arrived at zecoras everfree home within half an hour. She found Big Mac standing outside waiting for her to arrive. He opened the door and allowed her in. Inside were spike, who was tied to a chair and appeared to be unconcious, twilight, applejack, and Zecora. Applebloom walked to twilight and almost on queue she answered her question.

"Sorry about that Applebloom, spike melted the lock off of the cell door and burned down the castle entrance." She smiled apologetically.

"It's fine twilight." Applebloom shrugged and handed the beaker over to Zecora.

She stared at the potion and sniffed it and after a moment of pondering she looked over at Applebloom.

"Ah didn't mean to make it I was just tryin out some new ingredients I got." Applebloom said.

"New ingredients are always a must, but what you've made here is a potion of lust." Zecora said as she let a drop of the potion fall into her cauldron. It simmered and hissed as the potion hit the surface.

"Can you make an antidote?" Applebloom asks anxiously.

"To take out of spike this greedy fire, I first must takes some of what he desires." Zecora stepped forward and yanked a single hair out of applebloom's mane.

"Ouch!" She yelled as Zecora dropped the hair into the cauldron turning the potion from pink to Amber.

"Now to remove spikes desire we must replace the greedy fire." She said as she rooted around her cabinets." Something repulsive to assault his senses, ah this will do......timber wolf essence." She held up a vial of thick white liquid. She uncorked the vial and let a drop fall into the cauldron turning the potion purple. Zecora scooped the potion into a bowl and walked to spike. She immediately stomped on his tail and when he opened his mouth wide to scream she casually dumped the potion down his throat.

"Is that it?" Twilight asked the zebra. Zecora nodded and Twilights made the ropes dissapeared as spike stirred." Spike? Are you okay?" Twilight stood close.

"Huh? What happened?" Spike asked looking around. He saw Applebloom and quickly jumped." Applebloom! What happened?! The last thing I remember is when you dropped that potion......everything else is kinda fuzzy after that." He holds his head.

"I think it's best you don't remember some of it." She laughs a bit.

"If you say so." He says standing up.

"Is that it?" Applebloom says as spike simply walks out the door.

"I guess so.....in the future Applebloom please be more careful in the future." Twilight says following after spike.

As applejack leaves Applebloom stays behind to talk to Zecora." Is there any way I can destroy this potion Zecora."

"tis a very simple solution you see, leave it here in the everfree." She says.

"Are ya sure? It would affect the plant life or animal in any way?" Applebloom asks.

"no." She said walking back to her cauldron.

"Um one more question Zecora. Does the potion have to be consumed for it to have an effect on you?" Applebloom asked.

"Yes, why?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Just wondering." She said backing out the front door. Why was she feeling like this all of a sudden? She didn't drink the potion she only inhaled some of the vapor and even that shouldn't affect her. She felt a strange attraction toward spike, out of nowhere. She tried to shake off the feeling and started walking back towards sweet Apple acres so she could be rid of that lust potion......or maybe she would keep some.....just in case.
