Among the Apple Trees

3. Family Portrait

Previous Chapter

As I got up I was brought outside by Apple Bloom. She dragged me to Applejack and Big Macintosh. She had me on her back and suddenly I was on top of Applejack when she dropped me.

"She's up. Let's get that picture, we need that picture for her room. Apple Belle, we are getting a portrait of you and a family portrait for your room, to replace the old photos. The family photo will have just me, you, Applejack, Big Macintosh and Applejack." Apple bloom said happily. She was in a great mood as it seems Applejack told me to pose for my portrait, they took that. Then we all sat together, me and Apple Bloom hugging me and everypony else holding us. These pictures definitely replaced my old photos.

I had only one feeling right now, that was welcomed. Once again I successfully adapted into the Apple family, though under harsher circumstances this time, I will still given a happy and warm welcome.

"Th-thank you all!" I said as I began to cry tears of joy. This is when I realized something. In my entire life noponies have cared more about me than the Apple Family. "Ah've never been so happy. Nopony cares more about me than y'all. Even more than Rarity ever did," Apple Blooms eyes opened wide, "Thank you!" I said finally. It's than that a family hug occurred. I felt something I never felt before, like I had a family who cared and would never leave me, and I would never leave them.

We went inside and ate some breakfast before Applejack let out a surprise.

"So the fair is in Appleoosa again, and Ah decided as a celebration of Apple Belle now officially being a Sweetapple, we should all go and have a day of pure fun," Applejack said. Me and Apple Bloom jumped in excitement and Big Macintosh cheered. Me and Apple Bloom ran up to our rooms to get ready, I dressed up in a denim jacket over a tea shirt, some slightly worn boots, and some jean pants. I put my hat back on and grabbed my cross. I put on the cross and went downstairs. Once I got downstairs I stole Big Macintosh's sunglasses right off his face and stole the small piece of grain from his mouth and put it in mine. He just grabbed another. Applejack watched this like it was a normal occurrence.

I went into the kitchen and grabbed a sandwich. As I was eating Apple Bloom came downstairs. Big Macintosh took this moment to get me back, he took my sandwich, took a bite and put it back in my hoof. I just kept eating. Apple Bloom did exactly the same before she grabbed some BBQ ribs for lunch. As she started to take bites, I took a bite of a rib, gave it to Applejack who took a bite, who gave it to Big Macintosh who took a bite, who gave it back to Apple Bloom who finished it. Granny Smith watched in awe. She lived with a bunch of crazies.

With insanity proven, we headed out to Appleoosa. The first thing that happened there was Applejack handing us bits. "Go have some fun! Just stay out of trouble, and stay together. Meet here at lets say, eight." We nodded and ran.

We ended up buying a candied apple to share. The last bite still managed to make its way into Big Macintosh's stomach. Our second event, Ferris Wheel. We went on it and managed to get stuck at the top. I pulled out my phone and started playing on some apps. Apple Bloom started playing on my phone too. Finally we began to move again and I put it away. The rest of the time passed so fast, at eight we met up and me and Apple Bloom looked like two beaten puppies. We wanted to stay, but we went home. At home we were achy, so we pushed Big Macintosh onto the floor and decided to use him as a pillow for a few minutes, while unimpressed, he didn't want to get into an argument.

We went to bed and in the morning we awoke to a delightful scent. We temporarily became wingless Pegassi as we flew downstairs to follow the smell. Chocolate chip pancakes, with a chocolaty coating on the top as well.

"Everypony, eat!" Applejack said.

Me and Apple Bloom fought for the first bites, I got it and ate it all up. Every pancake in my stomach. The end result to the fight was Apple Bloom nibbling on my ear hoping for some chocolate as I cried of laughter and tried to throw her off me. Applejack eventually detached Apple Bloom from me after her laughing fit seized. Big Macintosh and Granny Smith walked in to see the sister pretzel and slowly walked away in the process.

We got to work, never have I been able to carry so much weight without an issue. Apple Bloom was right when she said no hassle. More work was done than usual that morning before school. When we went to school I managed to push Apple Bloom into a fountain, she grabbed me and took me with her. Miss Cherilee walked by and laughed. She seemed to already know about my dehorning. We walked into the building both dripping.

"I don't know how, but these two managed to both end up in the Ponyville fountain this morning, you honestly made my day." Miss Cherilee said pointing at us. She was laughing hysterically. "And.. A- And Belle is back! I can't even talk! That was the best thing I've ever seen!" She yelled.

The rest of the day went as normal. It seems as the surgery has made my life not only better, but more complete!
