A Burning Tale

The next day I woke up to the sound of loud knocking on my front door. I forced myself out of bed and trotted to the door. I was very surprised after I opened the door and saw a very familiar face. The little kid from yesterday somehow found out where I live and decided to visit me.

"H-hey... c-can I come in?..."

The filly asked with a trembling voice. I took a step to the side allowing her to enter my house. Shortly before I wanted to close the door another Pony walked past me. I quickly noticed that the second Pony was a grown up Pegasus, exhausted and heavy breathing. I offered her a glass of water which she rejected thankfully. Instead she just sat down on my sofa.

"Could you do me a favor? you're obviously stronger than me, there are two more fillies down there, they're here friends and also want to talk to you."

She explained after catching some breath. I nodded at her before heading out and flying downwards to pick up the two fillies. Each one of them grabbed one of my front hooves and I flew back up. I carefully placed them on the front porch and took care they wouldn't fall of since they weren't Pegasi, instead a white coated Unicorn and a yellow-orange coated Earth Pony. I took them both inside and they sat down on my sofa as well. I grabbed a few packages of fruit juice out of my fridge and gave one to each of them.

"So, I heard you three want to talk to me?"

I said while climbing onto the last available spot of the sofa. The Pegasus stopped sipping on her juice for a moment and firstly introduced herself and her friends.

"Oh right, I'm Wingdaloo... but please call me Scotaloo, I burried that name a while ago... and these are my friends. Sweetiebelle, Rarity's little Sister. And Applebloom, Applejack's little Sister. We wanted to thank you fo-"

I interrupted her to ask her a question, which I now regret.

"And who's Sister are you?"

I saw her happiness blast off immediately after I finished my sentence. Her head dropped as Sweetiebelle looked at me with a frown in her face.

"You're new so you possibly can't know... she doesn't like to talk about it either so I won't start with it too, just to let you know... please don't ask about her family again."

I nodded and excused myself at once. I gave her a sign that she could continue to explain.

"We... we wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday... Nopony ever talked to those two like you did... And we're very thankful for that."

She explained again before giving the word to Applebloom, she had a very strong country accent which I didn't mind though.

"ya know... those two are the horror at our school. They don't care about anypony but theirselfs. And nopony 'round here is brave 'nough to stand up against them."

The filly said with a serious voice. I was pretty confused why I was the first Pony to speak against those two. So I asked them, but the answer was worse than I expected.

"Their Parents are the most rich Ponies in Ponyville... and they've got the best lawyers too. So nopony dares to revolt against them."

I started to chuckle, and shortly broke into laughter. They all stared at me confused, the fillies as well as the Pegasus Mare.

"They should try to incite one of their little lawyers against me! I'll be waiting for 'em!"

I replied within my laughing. I eventually calmed down and assured them I'll be alright. Since they had nothing else to say they finished their juice before I brought them to the ground again. A few hours later I noticed I still needed some new supplies since the home was abandoned for a long time and I had to throw all the food away. I grabbed my saddlebags and my purse before leaving my house and flying to Ponyville.

A few Minutes later I landed at the market and walked around looking for some food and drinks. Sadly no merchant had what I wanted, but one of them a friendly looking Pink Earth Pony walked up to me. I was confused at first but kept listening to her.

"Hey, I saw you wandering around a bit clueless here. What are you looking for?"

She asked me with a kind smile. I was focused on her unique Rainbow strife in her mane, which you don't see often where I came from, but luckily I heard her question.

"I-i'm searching for supplies. Eh... Food and Drink to be exact."

I replied to her after ripping myself into reality again. She smiled and pointed to a path which leads outside of town.

"Then you should definitely check out Sweet Apple Acres. They've got the best Cider, delicious Hay and juicy Apples. The number one spot for hungry and thirsty Ponies like you"

I smiled and thanked her before following the path which lead me to a big Farm. I looked around for a while until another Earth Pony, Applejack as she introduced herself, walked up to me.

"How may Ah help ya?"

Just like Applebloom she had a strong country accent. No wonder they're sisters...

"I want to order some supplies if you got some?"

I asked, friendly as I always do, and waited for her response.

"Al'ight. What do ya need? We got The best Cider, delicious Hay and j-"

I interrupted her because I already knew what she was about to say next.

"I'll take a crate of apples and a barrel of Cider, that should be all"

She nodded and entered the barn. A few minutes later she came out towards me again with a crate of Apples on her back. Right behind her was A red furred Stallion with the Cider barrel on his back. I pulled out my purse and was about to pay but she stopped me beforehand.

"This time it's free for ya. My sister told me what you've done for her friend. How do ya wanna get it to yer home by the way?"

She asked me with a curious tone. I haven't even thought about it but I was sure I'd be able to put the apples into my saddlebags and attach a hook to me to lift the barrel. Said and Done, I managed to carry the heavy barrel and all the apples to my home. I stored everything in a small chamber besides my kitchen. After I was finished I felt very exhausted so I went to bed right afterwards.
