Apples To The Core

The Apples walked toward the cemetery of Ponyville. AppleJack looked around, shivering at all the graves and at how cold it was. AppleBloom held AppleJack's hand and stayed close as she could. They arrived at two grave stones. AppleJack stared at the graves, tears almost coming out. She fought them back and stood there with a blank expression. It had been ten years since they fell off that bridge...ten years. 'It's in the past..' AppleJack thought to herself. 'It's not relevant anymore..." She looked away from the stones.

AppleBloom looked up at her sister's blank expression with a frown. Big Mac sighed at it as Granny Smith looks down.

"AppleJack..." AppleBloom mumbled, "Can I please see them...?"

"What did I say AppleBloom? No." AppleJack said with irritation in her voice.

"I-I just wanted.."

"You wanted to what?" AppleJack glared down at her, "You didn't know them! You didn't get to know them! You know NOTHING about them! You'll never know ANYTHING about them! You don't miss em'!" AppleJack was yelling.

AppleBloom glared, tears falling down her face. She ran away. Granny smacked AppleJack on the back of her head, "Are ya'll stupid!? Don't go talkin' to AppleBloom like that! This is her first day seeing her parents grave!" Granny Smith went after AppleBloom.

AppleJack stood there, tears forming. She looked down, ashamed of what she had done.

Big Mac put a hand on her shoulder, "Look sis. If you keep hiding their death and life from her she'll actually never know anythin' about em'. Don't wait. She needs to know." Big Mac walks off to find them both, leaving AppleJack standing there as it began to snow. She needed time to think. She sat at her father's grave, "That didn't go well...huh, pop?" AppleJack stares at the grave stone like she did with the ceiling earlier, as if the gravestone or ceiling was going to answer. A huge gus of wind flew pas her, causing her to shiver.

"AppleJack..." A familiar soft voice spoke out.

AppleJack stood, "W-Wha...?"
