Another Saturday morning. Another day without the disturbing responsibilities of the average farm filly life and a world full of possibilities, from the sunrise to the sunset and beyond. That was the main thought of Apple Bloom every time she woke up at the start of the weekend; as she looked through the window, appreciating the large fields of the farm where she lived. She didn’t waste a single second and took one of the saddlebags she had in her bedroom and ran to the kitchen to get some supplies.
“Going to the waterfalls again?” Applejack asked when she saw the overactive filly looking for stuff.
“Yes. I have to work with the crusaders after lunch, so I want to have enough time there.” The yellow filly explained.
“Hehe that’s great little sis, just take care, okay?” Applejack said as she pat her head and continued with her activities, hearing the word work related to three ponies helping in cutie mark subjects still sounded weird for the orange mare, though it was still adorable. Since Apple Bloom was a bigger filly, her family didn’t worry too much when she walked alone to a beautiful place, even if it was some miles away from the farm. They knew it was a peaceful spot with a calm nature and has the relaxing sound of the waterfalls located there. Since their trip to the Rainbow Falls, Apple Bloom simply loved that environment full of tranquility, peace and a beautiful landscape. She filled her saddlebag with several apple juice boxes that she found in the fridge. After all, apple juice was her favorite and the trip still took about an hour of walking, not to mention the heat of Ponyville’s summer required enough hydration. She also took her favorite book and began to walk to her destination.
The road that the little filly took to arrive there was pretty comfortable, she always found several animals while she walked, and she took a moment to salute them. Finding three or four ponies coming to the town from that direction was also common.
“Hello there, miss AB.” A pony pulling a cart saluted as both crossed in the road.
“Good morning sir.” The yellow coated filly answered kindly.
“Hehe it seems you like apple juice a lot.” He added when noticed that she was drinking from a juice box.
“Sure, I do!” She limited to answer as she continued suckling juice from the box.
“Haha I can tell. You have a nice day!” The pony exclaimed.
“You too.” Apple Bloom added as she continued walking happily. Soon she could hear the water running and she knew perfectly well what that meant. Crossing few trees, she found the amazing, peaceful sanctuary that she loved. Everything was in calm. Even hearing carefully, it was only possible to hear the sound of the water running, few birds singing and the grass moving with the calm wind. Also... A camera shooting…?
“Hey!” Apple Bloom exclaimed as she noticed the noise and soon located a pegasus pony with a camera.
“Oh! I’m so sorry miss. I didn’t want to scare you.” A light blue coated young pegasus holding a camera said as he flew where Apple Bloom was. “My name is Nature Feathers. I’m really sorry. I will be only taking some photos of this marvelous place. I have a small magazine in Cloudsdale about nature.” He added showing a sample magazine to the earth pony. She only limited to look at him a bit disturbed with the situation. “Don’t worry. I won’t disturb you. Promise.” The pegasus said before flying straight to the waterfalls to have some amazing angles for his photos. The situation was clearly uncomfortable for Apple Bloom. It’s not like this place was completely a secret, she had already seen several ponies visiting it but they were usually a bit shy. Anyway, Apple Bloom decided to ignore him and lay down in the grass as she usually did.
Few minutes passed and with her eyes closed for maximum relaxation The yellow coated filly could only feel the warmth of the sun over her fur, the soft sound of the wind blowing and the grass moving slowly, and also the sound... Of the waterfall? Apple Bloom suddenly woke up concerned. Why was the sound of the waterfall really disturbing for her? That made no sense, it was more than common in that situation, basically mandatory, and she had done that several times before without a single trouble. In less than a second her body told her why it was so disturbing, or rather her bladder told her as she felt the strong spasms within, almost as if it were asking desperately for relief.
Apple Bloom got paralyzed due to this sensation as it wasn’t only completely uncomfortable for her but also, it didn’t make any sense. As the apple farm filly she was, holding during hours without problem was pretty easy. The poor pony rapidly searched her mind for any explanation while her bladder begged for relief. She quickly took her saddlebag off to shake it, bringing all the juice boxes to the ground. It was impossible! All six apple juice boxes were there, but completely empty… Smashed… Released of their contents. How could she drink all of that during a short walk like that? Now it was more than obvious why she was in the middle of that kind of predicament. Gone was the relaxation feeling or any possible thing related in her peaceful sanctuary. The only thing to worry about in that moment was finding a solution to her bladder problem as soon as possible.
Soon the little filly began to move from leg to leg in a desperate attempt to keep her sphincters closed. There was time to consider the possibilities… Or better, the places to relief her intense need to pee but returning home was completely out of the question since it would probably take longer to get back than she had left. Outhouses or public places with restrooms weren’t something common in the middle of a road like this one. With two options out, there were two or maybe even three possible to consider for the filly as she began to hold her hooves tightly her crotch to prevent any possible leak from the stressed floodgates. Another remaining option was letting the floodgates open right there, feeding the dirt with enough water and nutrients as the nature required This option seemed less appropriate since there was a pony in the zone, with a camera to make things worse. Who knows if he was a decent pony and will just ignore the situation or if he was really one of those ponies who takes photos for gossip magazines with the most embarrassing situations of Equestria. Was the yellow pony going to be the next front page? Was she going to appear in giant posters in the center of Manehattan? That humiliation was not possible for her to endure, she knew that. As more time passed, this option was forced to move over in the list of possibilities, hopefully being a last resort. One remaining idea was to find a brush to take care of her business, something that could be a great idea, except for the fact that the zone was full of wild animals and who knows if the kind ones that Fluttershy used to care for were behind the brush that Apple Bloom chose.
And one last option? Well, it was probably letting everything out at the bottom of the waterfall, at least hiding a bit of the situation underwater while she steered clear from wild animals. Whatever was the best option, there was no time to use complicated methods to choose one, even if Princess Twilight’s books will explain in four different volumes that, it was just time to do it! Soon the filly felt another ‘hit’ to the floodgates as she was about to reach her limit and she knew that this warning meant that just a few more spams were needed to break the barrier. It was definitely red alert down there. She looked everywhere with the hopes of finding a miracle or anyway, just trying to ignore the torturing sound of the water falling near her. Few feet up in the sky was the camera pony, he looked to be a part of her situation, mainly because he was trying to capture the best possible angle of the majestic waterfalls in front of him. Obviously the last thing that Apple Bloom was trying to do was get caught. Sometimes he even looked over where Apple Bloom was but almost all the time he was looking at the other side, it was a really high risk regardless considering that he could look at her in any millisecond which could mean the end of her pride. For a few seconds the little filly looked down, looking to where her small front legs were preventing the imminent disaster, she also looked to the empty juice boxes which reminded her, more and more, where all that apple juice ended up.
Minutes passed, and more water ran from the top of the waterfall, and probably somewhere else near… Apple Bloom now decided to turn back to avoid looking at the waterfall directly, even if she could hear it perfectly. Now there was a new trouble since the filly felt that she was at the point where she couldn’t move anymore without leaking. Few small squirts will be a reasonable price to pay to get the entire relief in an appropriate and safe place, but it was clearly not a good price to change with the obvious risk of being caught.
“Why I had to drink all that apple juice? Why didn’t Celestia create a law already to put outhouses near all the waterfalls of the kingdom? Why have I grown up and stopped wearing diapers? Why did I have to love apple juice? ALL OF THIS IS APPLEJACK AND BIG MACHINTOSH’S FAULT!!” The filly said to herself. “If they never made me love apples this wouldn’t be happening.” She added. All the ridiculous situations that passed through her mind were clearly just excuses to avoid blaming herself about what was happening while at the same time she tried to distract herself. Her bladder muscles were completely tired and definitely arriving to the point of giving up completely, the rest of her body was also tired of being in the same position for a while. Apple Bloom was just barely able to do three things at that moment: breath, hold her crotch and do her best to keep the floodgates closed. She was probably going to run anywhere as soon as she felt completely at the limit.
It didn’t take much time before the weird behavior of the filly, who looked stuck in the same position for several minutes, to begin worrying the camera pony who wanted to see if everything was alright. He flew down to where Apple Bloom was, he also realized that they never had a real conversation already, so it was probably a good chance to do that. Moving slowly and smoothly with his wings as usual pegasi do, he approached Apple Bloom’s position almost without making noise.
“Uh… Is everything okay miss?” The pony said just feet afar from Apple Bloom’s back.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah! I CAN’T HOLD IT ANYMORE!” Apple Bloom screamed as she got completely scared for the surprising words coming from the pony in the middle of the nothingness, in a completely silent environment like if it was an horror movie. Immediately she ran as fast as her two back legs allowed, because her front legs were still busy holding tight, even if it was already completely useless since some little yellow squirts were already falling to the ground as the little filly approached to the small lake at the bottom of the waterfall. Meanwhile, the other pony looked scared what was just happening and followed the filly to see where she was going and if she was indeed okay. Arriving at the edge of the lake, Apple Bloom, for the first time in a long while, released her four legs to jump into the water properly. The jump was quick, clean and splashed gallons of water afar from their source, it was probably not a ten-point jump in the Equestria games but, probably the usage of slow motion would show how during less than a second before her whole body dove into the water, a big squirt of pee would start exactly from the place that her front legs were covering minutes ago.
The splash was probably audible miles away from the zone, considering that few animals got scared with the sound and others after being soaked by the water. Apple Bloom opened her eyes underwater, she could see nothing else that the bottom of the lake and the reflections of sunlight in some rocks and small fish. Once again, she looked at her crotch, which was creating a warm and yellow squirt outside her body. It was simply amazing how much relief she was feeling, even if she was still unable to breath for being down there. A few seconds later the young filly faced again to the surface where she let out a big moan when she could breathe again. Underwater there was still taking place and emptying process. It was probably just the sensation of the moment, the fire of the sweet relief of that exact minute, but that body of water looked like the perfect place in Euqestria for peeing. Through her mind now passed several arguments to support that theory, including the fact that it looked even easier peeing there or that she didn’t have to flush when she finished… If someone asked Apple Bloom about paradise in that moment, she would be completely sure that she was living there…
But... It was time to return to reality, to an embarrassing reality, because a completely surprised and paralyzed colt stood just meters away from the edge of the lake, completely soaked, still trying to process what had just happened or what was just still happening. During those moments where Apple Bloom’s bladder ended the emptying process, so she got out of the water to react to that situation.
“Oh my! I’m so so so so sorry.” Apple Bloom said really worried for the pony, who immediately reacted to the situation and shook his head and whole body to get back to reality and to obviously shake the water away.
“Don’t worry. I was already needing a bath... I guess…” Nature Feathers tried to say getting flustered immediately.
“Look. I’m really sorry for what has just happened. It was just like... You know I have to…” Apple Bloom tried to say avoiding using the exact words related to the process since she was talking to a colt.
“Yes... I know, don’t worry.” The colt said blushing a lot at the end of the phrase.
“So... Is your camera okay?” Apple Bloom asked worried.
“What?! Oh Yes… Don’t worry. It is a special camera for those environments there is no problem.” Nature Feathers explained. When he moved a bit his camera to show that it was okay, some of the instant photos fell in the ground.
“And it seems you took nice photos of the waterfalls…” Apple Bloom said as she helped to him to recover the photos and change the conversation topic whatever was the cost.
“Oh! Yes, I did. Uh... Look… I… I took this.” The colt showed one of the instant photos to Apple Bloom just in the moment that she was falling inside the water. Apple Bloom immediately covered her mouth blushing a lot and about to cry.
“Look... I know what you’re thinking. But, the whole environment looks perfect in the photo. Your… Your… Jump was also amazing and… If you look carefully... There is no... Uh... Evidence about what happened…” Nature Feathers did his best trying to explain. Apple Bloom was still embarrassed with the situation, but she got calmer with that explanation. She took the photo and looked at everything carefully. Apparently, the colt was right. The photo looked more amazing than embarrassing.
“As I said, I have a nature magazine…” He explained as he showed another magazine sample to Apple Bloom. “But our front pages are soooooo... Boring… I was hoping that you would consider letting me use this photo... I won’t talk to anyone about what happened. I promise.” He added. Apple Bloom was now really surprised. This was clearly one of the scenarios that she expected, but she had never considered this.
“I guess... It’s okay...” Apple Bloom tried to answer, red faced. “Thanks for not... Taking the photos and just running away...” She added.
“I’d never do that.” The pony explained. “Uh… We... Don’t have lots of readers…. But this photo may change things a lot!” He added excited as his eyes shone after few seconds of silence.
“Okay… I hope you have a good…. Uh… Journal number…” Apple Bloom said a bit uncomfortable with the conversation. “I guess I have to go back to home.” She added.
“Wait! Are you going to Ponyville? Because... I was going there…” Nature Feathers said a bit embarrassed. “Maybe we can walk together…” He added blushing.
“Uh… Sure.” Apple Bloom said as she put all her stuff back in her saddlebags to return home and shook her body a bit to clean the water.
“I wanted to take some photos of Sweet Apple Acres. I’ve heard that it is an amazing place, and that they also prepare amazing apple juice!” The colt said excited as both walked afar from the waterfall.
“Yeah... I can vouch for that…” Apple Bloom laughing a bit.
