//-------------------------------------------------------// A dark day for apples -by H3NCO- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Apple Recipe //-------------------------------------------------------// Apple Recipe It was dark and gloomy night in Equestria. There was a sadden feel to the night but with a good reason for this. Big mac has been missing for over 5 days now and nobody knew where he was. The whole apple family and ponyville was searching for the beloved stallion. Big mac was unfortunately not in ponyville anymore. He was kidnapped by the Flim and Flam brothers and locked away in an old mansions dungeon in the everfree forest. Flim and Flam were trying to get the super-secret apple family pie Recipe from him but after many failed attempts of trying to buy the recipe they decided on kidnapping and torture. The brothers only saw the money they could make and not the lives they were hurting. In this big, old and abandoned mansion’s dungeon, Big mac has been staring at the concrete walls with no food or water and was yearning for the outside. The smell of apple trees, the songs of the little birds and the sun on his face he was missing every moment. Luckily Big mac was a really strong stallion so he could hold out for a while without food and water. On the sixth day of his kidnapping he was well tired out and Flim and flam started with their torturing methods. “Hey Flim” “Yes Flam?” “Do you know what’s Big, Red and wet all over?” “I don’t know dear brother of mine what?” “Big Macintosh” Flam started pouring water all over Big macs face and all could hear his gulps of despair. But he was not about to crack for a little bit of water. “Wow, such a thirsty farmer, don’t you think so Flim?” “Why yes Flam very thirsty” “Now Big mac give us the recipe and we’ll let you go home to your tiny apple farm” Big mac looked flam straight in the eyes and gave him a big NOPE. “|see we have a wise guy here ay Flim?” “O yes dear brother. Big mac you might find this next trick quite shocking” “O Flim you and your silly jokes” Big mac got tied up to a strange device with a lot of flashing lights. The next thing he knew is that he was getting shocked from head to hoof. Big mac has never experienced this amount of pain before. He was wishing by now that he was already dead. But the only thing that was keeping his mind clear and sane was the thought of his 2 little sisters waiting for him back at the farm. After a few minutes the brothers stopped the device just before smoke could start coming out of Big macs ears. Big mac still refused to tell any part of the recipe. “Why are you so stubborn big mac? Why do you still resist? Is the secret of this recipe really worth the pain?” Flim asked with an angry look on his face. After he got some of his breath back Big mac lifted his head, looked Flim right in the eyes and said. “You guys don’t get it at all. You only care about money and how much you can make of other peoples hopes, dreams and pain. That recipe was my mother’s before she died. She died in a terrible storm with my dad on heart-warming eve and this recipe is one of the few remaining pieces my sister and I have of our mother. This recipe is supposed to be made with love and shared with friends, not made by machine and sold for profit. So I would happily die before I ever give it to you sleazy, little carpet salesmen.” “Well Big mac If that’s your wish, Flam would you please hand me the hooves ball bat” Flim took the bat and in an instant started to smash up Big mac’s hooves one for one. As strong and big as he was he could not hold in his screams of pain and let it all out. They pulled out his teeth, burned him with a hot rod and cut him and let it burn with lemon juice. Big mac was in hell. As the brothers continued to torture the poor soul for hours all he could think of was how much he was going to miss his sister Applejack. He remembered all the fun times they had together bucking apples,, playing apple toss and going to the rodeo. They were each other’s worlds but know she would have to carry on with the apple family farm and their values. At the edge of death the brothers stopped and Flim started to speak. “O Big mac, why this was a delight but I’m afraid we have to stop now. We’ve still got places to be and families to destroy today. I’ll even say hi to that sweet little sister of yours for you.” The sound of this made Big mac cry and wished he would just wake up from this dreadful nightmare. Flim reached into his pocket and took out a Flim and Flam custom made 9mm pistol and pointed it right at big mac’s head. Big mac just closed his eyes and the tears kept on rolling. It was the final moments and big mac had lost all hope. He had thought that this was the end to this piece of fiction when suddenly out of nowhere the police arrived. They came into the dungeon shouting and in a flash bullets started flying all over the place, bouncing off the walls and hitting everything in sight. The brothers were both killed in the gunfire. Big mac was also hit right in the chest and was losing a lot of blood. Things were getting very dark very fast for Big mac and one of the cops went to get help. Just before all faded to black he heard her sweet voice. “Big mac o sweet Celestia what have they done to you? Stay with me know ya hear” You could hear the pain and sadness in her voice. “C’mon big mac you can’t die on me now. I love you, Applebloom loves you. We need you back home with us. You can’t go I won’t let you die.” Tears were streaming out of the poor pony’s eyes by now. Big mac looked up at her and saw those big green eyes staring down at him. One of the biggest things he was going to miss. Those big green eyes full of innocents. But he knew this was his end. He looked her right in the eyes, smiled and to her his final words. “Goodbye Applejack, I love you too”
