The sorrow of the Apples

Applejack saw a police car pull up on the farm. Applejack was a little bit nervous, because it was extremely unusual that they pulled up on any apartment block, or building without arresting someone. Needless, Applejack walked over to them, and immidiently recognised them as, Lyra and Bon Bon. Applejack felt a sense of relief, they were the "kind" officers, around Bás and probably the only ones that weren't corrupt.

"Howdy there, Officer's. What can I help ya with?" Applejack asked, trying to be friendly and as normal as possible.

Lyra sighed, she knew it wasn't gonna be pleasant for Applejack. Lyra walked over and gave Applejack a hug.

"I'm sorry Applejack, but you're brother was found dead this afternoon. Me and Bon Bon was the ones who got the call." Lyra explained, with tears in her eye's.

Applejack had an unreadable expression. Applejack was to shocked to think or do anything, her brother was dead. 'My brother is dead?' Now something is really up. Applejack remembered her brother saying something about getting medicine for his headache but that was it.

"Why? Why is it alway's me? I know I screwed up with Applebloom, but to lose Big Mac also? I know I have done wrong but haven't I suffered enough? Me and Granny and Big Mac live practically in poverty, because of how much the CMC hate us. It is Applebloom isn't it? She is doing something that will make me wish I didn't do anything." Applejack had finished her rant and was panting.

Lyra and Bon Bon, was surprised that she didn't lash out on them. They expected her to be angry at them or something, but seeing Applejack like this, it was clear as crystals that she was at her lowest.

"Don't worry Applejack, if it turns out to be Applebloom then we'll have a meeting with her. If it isn't her then we'll look until we find the perpetrator." Bon Bon said, trying to give Applejack hope.

Applejack didn't acknowledge anything she just turned around and walked back to the farm. Lyra and Bon Bon got into the police car and drove of into the city that only literally only took a couple of seconds.

Applejack walked into their house were Granny Smith was looking through old foto's of Applebloom and other family members. Granny looked up, and gave Applejack the stink eye.

"Big Mac is dead. I don't know who killed him but I suspect that it's Applebloom." Applejack said, with tears in her eye's.

As soon as Applejack said, Applebloom, Granny rushed up so fast that Rainbow's jaw would've reached Tartarus. Granny smacked Applejacks cheek so hard Applejack nearly flew. Applejack was expecting this kind of reaction from her.

"It is you're own fault that she is doing what she's doing." Granny said, very slowly so that Applejack didn't miss a word.

Applejack nodded. She didn't really have a comeback after that statement. She walked out of the house, and left the farm and walked into the city to see if she could find her friend's. 'There are soldier's and spies everywhere, one of em must have seen who killed Big Mac' Applejack thought, to herself.

Twilight was walking out of a grocery store when she spotted Applejack. She trotted up to he oblivious mare, that hadn't seen Twilight.

"Applejack?" Twilight asked, unsure of what to do.

Applejack spun around and saw Twilight.

"Oh, hey Twilight. Having a good day?" Applejack asked, trying to small talk.

"Yes, relatively. What about you? You seemed lost in thought." Twilight asked, curious.

"My.... My brother is is dead." Applejack said, barely able to contain her tears.

Twilight was shocked, she didn't know what to say to her friend. She had known Big Mac when she first came to Ponyville, and knew he wasn't much of a talker. She put down her grocery bags and hugged her friend who returned the gesture.

"Twilight if you spot one of our other friend's, could you tell them what happened? It's just I don't think I can handle seeing all of them at once and tell them." Applejack asked, looking down on the ground.

"Of course Applejack, whatever you need." Twilight answered.

"Thank's Twilight, enjoy the rest of you're day." Applejack said, trying to sound like usual.

Applejack and Twilight walked their separate way's, and continued their day, but still felt a sting in their heart.

Granny Smith was inside her room, openly crying her tears out. She felt guilt that she had still been angry at Big Mac, because now he would never know that she still loved him. He died thinking that she hated him and was upset at him.

She felt anger towards Applebloom for the first time since the invasion. She never thought that Applebloom would kill a family member. Then again, she has been doing a lot of things that would be seen as war crimes, and normal crimes like corruption, wrongful arrests and so on. Granny wanted to talk to her, but she didn't know how to do so.

Rainbow Dash had been released from the labour camp. She couldn't help but feel like she deserved it but at the same time feel angry, she understood why Scootaloo did what she did when it came to blame everything on Rainbow Dash, but everything that's going on in this country is not her fault! How can she be responsible for stuff she didn't even know happened? But then again she herself did the same thing when it was revealed that Diamond Tiara was behind the whole scheme, she thought that the CMC told her to take the fall or else.

She couldn't help but feel disgusted by herself. Diamond Tiara had been executed publicly, but everyone pretended like it didn't happen. Rainbow couldn't blame them, who want's to remember a child being publicly hanged?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders - Parliament

Applebloom was sitting with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. She had just told them about the killing of her brother Big Mac. The other two smiled, but the they had a question on their minds.

"Why?" Sweetie Belle asked, genuinely curious.

"Because he told us to go away. So I thought 'why not make him go away?' So I payed a spy to kill him. He should have known better." Applebloom said, with malice. The other two nodded.

Our soldiers are fighting for our glorious nation. Hopefully we will soon win and we take over.
