The Inheritance

I looked through the clothes left behind. Everything from beautiful dresses to the ugliest of bonnets. I asked Apple Bloom if we should try some of it on for fit and we did. While looking through everything we found an item that gave us big memories. Big Macintosh's yolk. Me and Apple Bloom tried it for fit, it seemed to change size depending on which pony wore it. Though heavy, we both remembered how it made it easier for Big Mac to move things around the farm, so we decided to keep it in use whenever we need it. We both ended up with matching boots. Apple Bloom got Applejacks hat, I found another. We both got full clothes, from pants to bandanas on our necks and ponytails we looked completely like Applejack twins. We wanted closer twinning, but my mane and tail getting dyed would happen later.

I headed out to Appleoosa, when I got there I met Braeburn at his house, "Wow, y' changed a lot, y' look beautiful." He said looking at me like he was watching his High School crush.

"Me and Apple Bloom were looking through all the old clothes." I said to him

"Surprised y' didn't come with Big Macintosh's yolk." He joked

"I almost did, just I walked here and the weight was to much." I said.

"He had it sense the day he was born. Anyway, all y' need to do is the exact quota of Sweet Apple Acres, I'll feed y' later." I got straight to work. After 8 hours in the hot sun I finished it and got back to Braeburn.

"For bein' new t' this that was good time. Here, Cherry Jubilee made some Fettaccuni Alfredo and y' can have some. He handed me food and bits. See y' later, Belle. I walked home with my bits and Fettaccuni Alfredo and heated that up for dinner while Apple Bloom made apple crisp for dessert. Apple Bloom was obviously achy and I felt like I was falling apart. We ate and went to bed right after, it was only six at night.

We woke up at the same time, went downstairs and finally made and agreement on breakfast and all else. We take turns cooking breakfast and we'd switch back and forth on dinner and dessert. Today was my day with breakfast and dessert. I cooked pancakes and waffles for breakfast. We ate and got right to work.

It was Wednesday, we had managed to get half of the quota before our school day would start so we went to school, I had to pick stuff up from Rarity. We for some reason went dressed like we just got out of a storm. I had an old shirt and a denim coat with jeans and my boots. Apple Bloom had jeans and just a shirt with boots. I actually had my hat on and people asked why the sudden style change. We said we were both overly lazy this morning and didn't try to look nice.

"We live together and have everything to ourselves," I noted. Cherillee was obviously confused, but thought we were joking, when we left with no adult she stopped us, I gave her the inheritance letter and she let us leave.

We got right back to work, finished in less than an hour, and went to bed early. Four in the afternoon to two in the morning? Good enough!

Apple Bloom decided to pull a prank on me at night and stick Big Macintosh's yolk around my neck. I woke up and tried to take it off but failed as she had put it so tight. I fell down the stairs and it got stuck it the floor. Its now I realized that the hole in the yolk was in was smaller than my actual head, so there was no getting this off anytime soon. I went downstairs after getting unstuck. Apple Bloom realized what happened and tried to help me get it off. The only success was almost breaking my neck. It was so heavy, I could barely stand at times. We went to the barn where we kept the machine used to remove it.

The machine was huge. First ones feet were tied down, than the yolk was tied to chains in three places, than the machine forcefully yanked it off. There was a fifty percent success rate, and if it failed, a second attempt would cause instant breaking of the neck, causing death. It didn't work for me. I was stuck in the yolk.

Trying to sleep wearing it was not happening, how Big Macintosh did it all these years is beyond me. I tried the same two excuses constantly hoping Apple Bloom could cut it off. Its heavy and It hurts. She just shook her head.

"Look, it's not coming off, and Ah'm not cutting it, it's all that's left of his memory and Ah don't want to lose it. He was mentioning you a lot anyway, I bet he wanted you to have it, so when I put it on you as a prank, he probably tightened it." She said

"How could he have tightened it, he's dead!" I snapped at her

"Ghosts do exist. And sooner or later, this house will prove their existence to you." She said to me. "This house is haunted, beyond belief."

I fiddled with the yolk hoping to somehow loosen it, but it was so tight, I barely had any space to breath. Even with that, looks like I'm finished with school, with this on my neck I will not only be the laughing stock of the school, but every unicorn in the world. Even Rarity would laugh, exile me, if Apple Bloom was right about Big Macintosh's ghost tightening it, than he probably did it to seal my fate here at Sweet Apple Acres.
