Chapter 6.

Applejack then woke up, or rather stirred in her seat. “So, how was it?” Asked Twilight. Applejack, still reeling from the experience fell off the chair. Worried about her friend, Twilight moved over to see what happened. What she found surprised her.

Applejack was on the floor, crying. All the emotions that she experienced now felt alien to her. She could remember them happening, the transformation into a human, but now that she was back again, she didn’t know what she should be feeling. Eventually, she wiped away her tears, got up, and responded to Twilight.

“Th- Thanks Twilight. I really needed that. What even was that spell?” She said. Instantly regretting asking, Twilight immediately went into a full explanation.

“Oh, it’s a very complex spell that helps with creating experiences. I wanted to try and test it and see if I could recreate memories and such. I was hoping to show Princess Celestia what I had accomplished. I attempted the spell with Lyra but something happened and so it got tainted with her own ideas and those clashed with mine and created a weird world. And then I-” She started, but then she got cut off by Applejack.

“I don’t need a full explanation, just want to know what happened.” Said Applejack.

“Oh.” Said Twilight curtly.

“Anyway, thanks Twilight. That was a rollercoaster of an experience, but I would avoid continuing to practice it. I got lost in the body of whatever I was, and if you are going to have other ponies experience it, you have to be careful that they don’t get mad.” Said Applejack, getting up. Returning to a quadruple was refreshing.

“Your right Applejack. I need to be more careful. I'll write a friendship report about this to Celestia right now.” Said Twilight, leaving the room to grab something to write.

Applejack stumbled out of Twilight’s place and shielded her eyes to the sun. She was still disoriented since she had just experienced a whole day in another reality. Eventually she made her way back to Sweet Apple Acres and went looking for Apple Bloom.

Starting with the house, Applejack went and checked Apple Bloom’s room. Finding it empty, she decided to head to the barn. As she was on her way to the barn, she noticed Big Mcintosh hard at work, bucking trees, and Applejack went over to meet him.

“Hey Mcintosh, have you seen Apple Bloom?” She asked.

“Nnope.” He replied.

“Do you know where she is right now?” She said.

“Nnope.” He said again.

“Alright, thanks. Are you doing alright?” She said, concerned for his well being.

“Eeyup.”

“OK, if you see her, can you tell her I’m looking for her? Thanks.” She said. Continuing her search, Applejack went to the CMC clubhouse to look for Apple Bloom there. Still not finding her there, Applejack was starting to get in a frenzy looking for her sister. She eventually found her at Sugarcube Corner, eating a dessert with her friends.

“Apple Bloom!” Said Applejack.

“Oh, hey Applejack, is something wrong?” She said questioningly. Looking at Applejack expectedly.

“Uh yeah, can I speak with you privately?” Said Applejack.

“Did Apple Bloom do something wrong Applejack? Asked Scootaloo.

“No nothing wrong, just have to tell her something, that’s all. If you could excuse us.” Said Applejack.

“Alright, see you later girls!” Said Apple Bloom.

“So, what did you want to tell me?” Said Apple Bloom.

“Well I don’t really know where to start but…” Said Applejack, trailing off. Without thinking or hesitating, she hugged Apple Bloom.

“What was that for?” Wondered Apple Bloom, a little confused.

“I just want to let you know that I love you Apple Bloom. And that I’m proud of you, regardless of whatever you do.” Said Applejack.

“Wow, thanks. I love you too sis.” Said Apple Bloom, still confused. “What spurred you to do this?”

“Twilight just reminded me of how special family is. She experimented on me with one of her hair brained new spells. It had me get changed in a new body, which was cool. Had me experience a totally fantastic world. And you know what was the best part? You were there too. Our ages were flipped, and you were my big sister.” Explained Applejack.

“Whoa, that sounds like fun, but what happened?” Said Apple Bloom.

“Well, I was reminded of you and your special gifts. I was reminded of a world of sadness and one of joy. I saw what it was like to be a younger sister, and to be joyful of the events that we have together. That’s why I want to spend the rest of the day with my favorite sister.” Said Applejack.

“Really!? You would do that for me?” Said Apple Bloom, astonished.

“Of course, when was the last time you or I got to hang out together? It will be great.” Said Applejack. Together they walked and talked about all the things that Applejack experienced and the adventure that she had.

“You know, I never did figure out how old I was turning when everypony said it was my birthday. I wonder why that was?” Said Applejack.

“Maybe it was just an excuse to have older me hanging out with you. All the things she told you were pretty cool.” Said Apple Bloom.

“I guess so, I guess I still wish to know how old I was turning. But maybe some things should stay a mystery. We can’t know everything, nor can we control everything. We need to just deal with what we are given.” Said Applejack.

“Well I am glad you owed Twilight. I could feel that we were drifting apart but didn’t know how to approach the matter.” Said Apple Bloom.

“And that’s my fault, I should have been a better older sister for you. I realize that now, but now I can change that. It’s time for us to have our own adventures, don’t you think?” Said Applejack.

And with that being said, Applejack and Apple Bloom hugged, and walked home together. Thus concluding, the end of this story. Yet, the beginning of many, many more adventures.

Author's Note

And thus ends the mini fic I made. I must say, writing this was fun. A little bummed I didn't make it in any place, but there are more talented people than me. Hope you enjoyed!
