Displaced Hunger
Chapter 10: Ponyville
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was glad to be back, Applejack and Rainbow Dash beside me. Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie followed behind. As soon as we entered town we were swarmed with ponies, I was dragged away by Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo was very eager “What happened! You have to tell us!”
I sighed “That is a long story. After what happened in town Ah was being suck in Sarah, the girl in the yellow raincoat’s, soul. Then well, Ah learned first hand about what happened, she had an insatiable hunger. When all three of us felt for the first time thought, it was unbearable. The hunger was the only thing on the mind, food was the only objective until Sarah found food.”
Sweetie Belle gasped “That’s horrible!”
I nodded, I then continued “Ah didn't do too much until after Discord’s defeat. After that, Ah helped take over a city. That was new, and not much else happened before Ah got here.”
Scootaloo grinned “You got to fought, that sounds awesome!”
I grimaced “It was fun at first, knocked through blockades. It’s not fun thought to look at the corpse of someone who you killed simply because they were doing their job. Ah was lucky to be only leading with the resource collection squad but I had to watch as quite a few guards died. It wasn't a pleasant feeling but Ah didn’t want to disappoint Sarah after she trusted me to help so Ah continued on.”
Sweetie Belle rubbed the back of her head “That’s quite an adventure you were on.” She then smiled “I’m glad you’re back.”
I smiled “Ah’m glad to be back, honestly Ah just want life to go back to normal for a little bit. Go to school, see our friends.” I rolled my eyes as I noticed Diamond Tiara was approaching us with Silver Spoon by her side.
Diamond Tiara taunted “I see you have returned to join your pathetic little blank flank squad.”
I turned to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle “They are not worth our time, let's go somewhere else.” I simply trotted away, my friends following behind. After what I have seen, a few little bullies are nothing more than fleas. It wasn’t long before we were back in our clubhouse, I pulled down the list of Cutie Mark Crusades we had done. “Have you two done any more since Ah sort of died?”
Scootaloo shook her head “No, we were still mourning.”
I frowned “Ah see, hmm we are being fairly haphazard. We should each crusade pick an activity that at least one us enjoys and then do that. We won’t found our special talents by just doing random activities. Ah mean do either you want a cutie mark in accounting because Ah don't, it’s all just math. Ah’m sure you two don’t like math.”
Sweetie Belle sighed “I don’t think doing maths for rest of your life is fun but I thought it might help us. It could be one of ours.”
I smiled “Cutie Marks can be anything, so we might as well attempt all the stuff we wish to have as our talent. After all Ah believe that there are multiple marks each of us do have within us, which emerges comes from our actions and choices. We should be seeking one of them that satisfies what we want from our lives.”
Scootaloo smiled “So when do we start?”
I grinned “Tomorrow the CMC will be back in action. Ah wish to spend the night with mah family Ah haven’t seen Big Mac or Granny Smith in a while.”
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle smiled “We’ll see you tomorrow after school.” I smiled as they left the clubhouse. I put the list back on the wall, I then leave the clubhouse. I trot towards the farmhouse, I knock on the door.
The door opened, Big Mac was standing there. He looked down and pulled me into a massive hug. I coughed “Big Mac, Ah can’t breath! BIG MAC!” He still wouldn't let go, I roared “BIG MAC, AH LOVE YOU BUT AH NEED YOU TO FUCKING LET GO OF ME!” Big Mac let go of me, he frowned silently at me. I sighed “Ah learnt some bad words from being stuck in Sarah’s head, but Ah won’t use them unless absolutely necessary.” I scowled “Like when my big brother is hugging me to death.”
Big Mac rubbed the back of his head “Sorry.”
I sighed “It’s fine, Ah can’t blame your for missing me.” I smiled as Granny Smith headed down the stairs and when she saw me she galloped over and gave me a much softer hug. I hugged her back “It’s good to see you too Grandma.”
Granny Smith smiled “It’s good to see you too, is you sister around anywhere?’
I smiled “Yes she is town with her friends. If Ah disappear it’s for something important but Ah promise Ah will be home soon. It’s just that Ah have made a few new friend and they may need mah help with stuff.”
Granny Smith nodded “I understand. It’s always important to help your friends, no matter who they are. Just make sure you don’t get into any trouble because of it.”
I frowned “Ah will try not but trouble will likely involve us in the future. Still Applejack will be with me so everything will turn out alright. She will keep me out of trouble if anything goes wrong. One of my other friends, Sarah will too. She is the leader of our little friend group.”
Big Mac smiled, Granny Smith nodded “We will ask your sister for some more details later. For now it’s good to have you back. I’ll bake an apple pie for you and your sister.” I smiled as Granny Smith started preparing the ingredients for an apple pie. The rest of the day passed smoothly, the next morning I woke up early. I head down the stairs and after a quick breakfast I headed out.
Applejack frowned “Where are ya going?”
I turned to my sister “Ah’m going to school, Ah’d like spend some time being normal for a bit. Ah’m assuming that mah enrollment hasn’t been cancelled yet.”
Granny Smith was smiling as she came down the stairs “It hasn’t Apple Bloom, they still haven’t removed your name from the rolls yet.” I smiled making my way to the Ponyville schoolhouse, I was waiting outside the schoolhouse. It wasn’t long before my most of my classmates were at the schoolhouse.
I smiled as my classmates looked shocked at my presence “Ah’m back everypony. Sorry Ah was gone for so long.” I rolled my eyes as most of my classmates were asking me question after question. It was only thanks who Miss Cheerilee who kept her composure in my presence.
She smiled “Every one, I suggest we give Apple Bloom some space. She has only just returned after all.” She turned to me “It’s a pleasure to see you again Apple Bloom.”
I smiled “I’m glad to be back, I could use some normalcy.” I smiled as I entered the school house taking my usual seat. This was going to be a good day.
