Among the Apple Trees

Scootaloo kept trying to sneak the bonnet off, so in the end Apple Bloom tied it so tight that she couldn't remove nor untie it. It seems Scootaloo hadn't noticed we all have some accessory. Big Mac's in the yolk, Applejack's and mine are our hats. We weren't about to let Scootaloo be any different. It was also her fault, she mentioned getting her mane messy, so we 'helped' her.

The next day she went to school wearing it. No pony laughed, they just stared in disbelief. My cousin finally said something "Why does this seem so familiar?"

"Its another one. Your an Apple girl too? First that Unicorn-ish girl, now the Pegasus? They are looking weirder and weirder every time." Apple Bloom took her bow out of her hair, a classic sign of wanting to fight. I grabbed her mane and pulled it so her ear was near my mouth.

"Put it back and chill out. Give 'er two more chances, if she can't shut it, its in both of our hooves" I whispered to her as I let her go. She put her bow back on her head, I fixed my hat, and now Scootaloo was looking at us. I shot her a half smile, Big Macintosh style. Throughout the school day me and Apple Bloom were randomly having discussions. She realized I wore a red bandana on my front left hoof.

"Ah think y' should put that bandana under 'yer hat, so its visible barely." I tried it. Apple Bloom had a mirror, it looked nice.

"Nice. Ah like that." I said to her "The sweat will slow down and stop botherin' by eyes. Nice." After seeing it, I took it off and put it back on, tying it tighter. After that I suddenly became a pillow, Apple Bloom laid her head on me. I didn't eve see her, I felt her and smelled the Apples and Cinnamon that she and apparently me let off. We both fell asleep. We awoke when it was time to leave, we just got up and walked home, dragging Scootaloo along with us.

"Apple Belle, Ah thought Ah would tell you something now." Applejack said to me as I walked in "Ah don't believe Rarity told y' about 'yer real birth. Y'all were born via in-breeding. That means two members of the same family got together and y' were born through it, just like me, Big Macintosh, and Apple Bloom. Another similarity, our parents. Rarity has no sister. Y' were born with the horn, so we gave you to Rarity for your safety. Sorry y'all didn't know sooner." Me and Apple Bloom were in disbelief

"How are me and Apple Belle the same age?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Y'all are twins. Born at the same time." Applejack said.

"Why was Ah born a unicorn?" I asked Applejack.

"Kids born by in-breeding usually have a defect. Y' notice 'yer magic doesn't work? Have y'all guessed that maybe its inexistent? The horn was just there, ah know Ah tried to make y'all keep the horn earlier, but that was so you didn't go through the pain, but y' pulled through, Ah'm proud. That's why for now on, if me, Granny Smith, and Big Macintosh go out to the store or somethin', you will control the farm until our return." She said as I broke into a smile. "That also means y' get t' tell Apple Bloom and Sweetaloo what to do! How's that?!" I was in the biggest smile. I felt like a psychopath.

"Ah-Ah love it. And Sweetaloo? Is that Scoots now?" I asked her

"Eyyup. Sweetaloo? Rainbow Dash is sick. Ah told her Ah will keep y' until she feels better. So just try some new things and get some work done, other then that Ah don't care." Applejack said to Scootaloo

Scootaloo gave a look of surprise "What's wrong with her?"

"She is jus' sick, Sugarcube, she'll be fine in a week 'r so" Applejack responded.

Scootaloo just looked down at her own feet. Me and Apple Bloom cuddled up next to her for comfort. She pulled us closer, gripping us as tight as possible. Apple Bloom said "Our cores, your crushing our cores."

"Ay! Let us go. Ah can't breath." I yelled at Scootaloo before she let us go.
