The Dictators of Ponyville 3 The Rise Of The Shadows

Ever since the CMC signed the peace treaty and said that Bás was Ponyville and was apart of Equestria again, things had been looking good. Some ponies apologised for how they treated the CMC and said that they deserved it. Applebloom wasn't entirely forgiven, considering what she did to Big Mac. Granny Smith tho, was surprisingly scared of being angry at Applebloom, wich probably is her PTSD because of the thing's The Cutie Mark Crusaders soldier's did. Applejack was openly angry but didn't blame Applebloom, saying it was her fault that she drove her in that direction. Applebloom would stay every other week at the farm, but it wasn't often she mostly sleept in her million bits apartment. She gave it to herself and paid rent of course wich wasn't much considering what she earned a total of each month.

Sweetie Belle was forgiven and given hundreds of cloths and gems as apologies. Sweetie Belle also owned an apartment as did Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle had moved into her apartment after the war was over and their ruling came to an end. Her apartment was huge! There were ten total rooms. A kitchen, living room, two bathrooms, her bedroom and five guest bedrooms. She also had a pool with sunbeds. Yep, she loved life. She still went to school and worked after school. Silver Spoon was terrified for her life every time she saw the CMC. She paid them money not to hurt her, a couple of days ago tho, she was threatened if she sent more money not to hurt her then she would disappear. She obliged and didn't send money for her own "protection" she showed respect to them.

Scootaloo was having problems with Rainbow Dash alway's trying to talk to her, Scootaloo had been angry over other reasons. Rainbow had apologised during the whole dictation fiasco but Rainbow had said something that even made the main six minus Rainbow wonder if she really ment anything at all. Rainbow had said, that Scootaloo was nothing more than a monster for simply putting Rainbow into a concentration camp. Scootaloo had defended herself saying something that made all the towns ponies cry out of shame. She had said it was their own fault for making them do so, and that Rainbow broke their laws wich lead to her ending up in those camps. Rainbow didn't have a comeback, in matter of fact she looked a little bit angry but Scootaloo didn't know who she then WAS angry at.

The days in Ponyville flew by without any problems, Applebloom wanted to go to the Apple family gathering that they did every hundred moon, but she had not gotten an invitation. Applebloom wondered if she should go anyway's but she had a lingering thought that maybe she should just stay away from the Apples. She knew it was today the gathering was happening, so she decided to put on a costume and went out.

Applebloom walked into the Everfree Forest, deep enough not to be seen but also close enough to see the farm and hear what the ponies said. She saw Sweet Apple Acres and saw her cousins and family members. She walked closer but not close enough to be seen. They were talking about the last few months about the tyranny rule. The other Apples were shocked about what had happened.

"Say, were is Applebloom? If you don't mind me asking that is." Braeburn asked, curious to were she is.

"She is in her expensive apartment, doing Faust knows what." Granny answered wich surprised Applejack.

"But why isn't she here? Shouldn't she be here?" Braeburn asked, thinking how Applebloom wasn't here and confused as to why.

"Braeburn, I think it's best if we left here be. She visited me and Granny when she had taken over, she said that she wanted nothing to do with us. Tartarus she hasn't even donated bits! She only sends her soldier's and that's it! She made it clear that she didn't want to be an apple so why bother?" Applejack exclaimed a bit angrily.

"So in other words she's not welcome here?" Braeburn asked, wanting it to be confirmed.

Applejack was a bit taken back by the question. Applejack pondered on the question, Applejack wouldn't mind Applebloom being here, but Applebloom made it clear that she didn't want to be an Apple. She continued to ponder on the question until she responded with.

"I don't righty know, it's just she has made it perfectly clear that she doesn't want to be an Apple wich is why I never sent her the invite." Applejack said, with wonder.

"If you want me to, I could go and get her." Braeburn said, with confusion as he starred at Applejack who was in deep thought.

Applebloom felt a little bit hurt. She is an Apple! Nothing else, or half pear to be exact, but she is an Apple! Her name is Applebloom so why wouldn't she be an Apple?

She walked out of her hiding spot and took away her costume. She had her military general uniform hiding under her costume. The uniform was expensive black pants with black button shirt and and black djacket with medals on her left side shoulder. She had an hat that was black that had a white pony with an rifle aiming on the side. She walked up on the farm when she was in earshot she said loudly.

"A'm I late?" Applebloom asked, without sounding worried.

Everyone turned and saw Applebloom and halfly gasped. Applejack had an unreadable expression on her face. Braeburn was obviously delighted seeing his little cousin.

Applejack was in deep thought. 'What is she doing here? She has made it clear that she didn't want to be an Apple!' Applejack thought.

"Applebloom, what are you doing here? This is for Apples only!" Granny said, with a hint of anger but not surprisingly much.

"Uh, I A'm an Apple Granny? Why did you think I came here?" Applebloom asked, catching both Granny and Applejack so of guard Faust thought that they would fall.

There was a very long silence in the air. The family members looked between Applejack Granny and Applebloom, as if it was some sort of stand off. Applebloom was still hurt by her sisters words, saying that she wasn't an Apple. Sure she said it after they won the coup, but she regretted it afterwords only Faust and Celestia knows.

"Applebloom, I'm sorry but this is for family only, so if you could please leave." Applejack said, with sorrow. Applejack didn't mean what she said, but she wanted to see how Applebloom would respond.

"Applejack, I'm not going anywhere. This is my family to, if anyone should leave then it's you. You were the reason I left, the reason I took over Ponyville by force! And also the reason as to why Big Mac's dead." Applebloom said, with a hint of malice.

Everyone was quiet. Applejack expected her to say something, but not something like that. It was unheard of. But since Applebloom doesn't know that Applejack was testing her, then Applejack couldn't say in her mind that it was unfair, but test or not Applebloom had a point.

"I agree with Applejack Ms Bloom, this is for family only! You left this family the day you took over Ponyville, you said, you wanted nothing to do with us, so turn you're butt around and leave!" Granny said, with anger surprising everyone even Applejack.

Applebloom started laughing darkly catching everypony of guard. She continued laughing until she composed herself and said with a hint of "I know everything voice"

"Those were the words Big Mac told us, when the whole of Ponyville shunned us, not those exact words but similar." Applebloom said, with a menacing smile.

Granny felt her self freezing. Applebloom was right, Granny was doing the exact same thing that Big Mac did when Gabby Gums were on and about. She felt herself become angry at herself for doing the same thing that Big Mac did.

"But, since no one of you wants me here, I guess I'll just leave." Applebloom said, smiling and turning around walking away. On the inside she was crying tears of sadness.

Braeburn ran up to Applebloom stopping her from going anywhere. He didn't want his cousin to go, Tartarus if Granny was going to treat his cousin like that, then he was taking her to Appleloosa.

"Get out of the way Braeburn, I don't want to hurt you. Much." Applebloom said, menacingly.

Everypony flinched at that. They had seen Applebloom angry but never this angry.

Applebloom smacked Braeburn in the head with her hoof. Everyone gasped including Applejack and Granny. Braeburn looked at Applebloom and said.

"I'm not moving an inch Applebloom." Braeburn said, with firmness in his voice.

Applebloom pulled out a pistol from her djacket and aimed it at Braeburn. He still stood were he stood without fear. The others behind Applebloom shouted for Braeburn to do as Applebloom says.

"Get you're self out of the way." Applebloom said, with genuine anger shown now.

"No."

"Why are you doing this? Get out of the way so I can enjoy myself, Apple filth!" Applebloom said, making everypony drop their jaws.

Braeburn looked stunned after hearing this, but he did not move as Applebloom wanted.

"If you wanna leave, then leave after being with us for a few hours." Braeburn said, with a smile.

"Fine as long as you shut up those hours." Applebloom said, not showing any expression on her face.

"Deal." He said.

They walked back to the family gathering and enjoyd themselves for a few hours. Unbeknown to them. The shadow pony was looking at them from afar and observed.

"seems as tho, they have problem in paradise, just six days left my slaves!" Shadow said, with hateful glee
