The Apple Family

Apple Bloom woke up to the sharp hay poking her back. She got up and threw her quilt off of her knowing that today Big Mac was going to try to get her into school. She folded her red quilt and put it in the upper part of the barn. She woke up early because right when she walked out of the barn the rooster cawed. She ran to the farm house, Big Mac was waiting for her in the office looking sadly at some documents. When she bounced in he put the documents into the cabinet in the desk. Apple Bloom has been suspicious ever since he started waking up early. Bic Mac used to never wake up early. He didn't wake up on time either.

"Good mornin" Apple Bloom says sitting down and eating a yellow apple. "Eyup" Big Mac replies getting up and walking out of the office. Apple Bloom is following with big puppy eyes. "Sorry lil' apple, we don't have enough money for ya to go to school" he replies sadly looking at his little sister. "But but Ya promised" Apple Bloom said tearing up. "Ah am so sorry lil'" he said walking to the fields, "Why don't ya go see Granny" he replied looking away from the filly. The filly ran down the dirt road crying the whole way.

The hospital was just across the school. Please don't see me Apple Bloom thought passing the school. "Oh Apple Bloom you are just in time" Cheerilee said ringing the school bell. "Join us" she said bringing the earth pony inside. "But ah can't-" Apple Bloom started, but when she started she was already in the classroom. "Nah miss Cheerilee ah can't I'm not allowed" Apple Bloom says. There was an orange pegasus looking at Apple Bloom with intense eyes. There was a white unicorn standing next to the pegasus looking pathetic for the filly. "Ha Ha blank flank" White Diamond says walking into the classroom fashionably late. "White Diamond your tarty" Cheerilee replied angrily. "What ev" White Diamond said taking her seat next to Silver Spoon. Apple Bloom hurried out of the classroom while Cheerilee was distracted. She ran all the way to the hospital, noticing she forgot her pink bow.

"Ah came to see Granny Smith" Apple Bloom asks the mare at the front desk. "Room 176 second level, knock" the pony said bored. Apple bloom walked up the newly polished stair case, admiring the beauty of it all. She walked strait into the orange pegasus she saw at the school. "So what are you doin here" she said getting close to Apple Bloom's face. "Ah.... ah... uh. the better question is whata you doin here" Apple Bloom said looking at the Orange Pegasus. "My name is Scootaloo" she said completely ignoring Apple Bloom's question. "Ah-" "I know your Apple Bloom, Miss Cheerilee said it in class" Scootaloo said. "Aren't ya supposed to be in school?" Apple Bloom asked giving Scootaloo a quizzical look. "Ummm yea I don't like school anyways" Scootaloo said spitting at the ground. "Well then ah hope ya have a good day" Apple Bloom said trying to squeeze past the determined pegasus. What was her deal anyways, wanted to sneak out of shcool just to see me Apple Bloom thought. "Fine if your in such a hurry meet me at Diamond Tiara's party" Scootaloo said giving up with the yellow earth pony. "And don't think you can get away because you weren't invited" Scootaloo replied giving Apple Bloom the stink eye.

Apple Bloom stomps up the stairs not bothering to look back. But as she passes the filly she realizes that Scootaloo didn't have a cutie mark. She looked at her blank flank and thought how she could lie to Big Mac. I could say I'm going on a long walk, yea thats what I'll do she thinks walking down the clean smelling hallway.

Apple Bloom is sitting outside of room 176. She takes a deep breath and opens the door. The immediate smell of hand sanitizer fills Apple Blooms nose. She sees Granny Smith laying limply in the hospital bed and her younger roommate sleeping next to her.

Apple Bloom had a fondness of Granny Smith's roommate. He had traveled all over Equestria, Manehatten to Canterlot, Trottingham to Los Pegasus. The light grey stallion had so many stories he told the filly. Apple Bloom was often talking to him in her free time. He was always so kind to her, and once saved some of his dessert from lunch and gave it to her. When Apple Bloom found out that he had a lung disease, and no one to call family, she tried to spend lots of time with him.

"Hello Granny" she whispered into the large room. The old mare's face turned to her Apple Bloom and was glad she wasn't alone anymore. "Hello-" she got cut off trying to remember the fillies name even though she saw her yesterday. "Apple Bloom" Apple bloom said finishing her sentence for her. "Ah yes" Granny said, "How is your flank" Granny teased jokingly. "Ah think my cutie mark is being invisible" Apple bloom said jokingly back. That made Granny Smith laugh a bit. "What about your cure to loneliness, found it yet" Granny asked the young filly. "Actually a pegasus named Scootaloo tried talkin' to me but ah-" Apple Bloom didn't want to say she didn't want to talk with the other filly, so she was at a loss of words. "Ya didn't know what to say" this time Granny Smith finished her sentence. "Yea" Apple Bloom sighed. "Well ya need to remember life is partly what you make it, and partly what it is made by the friends ya choose" Granny Smith explained. But after she said that she fell asleep. "Ya I guess it is!" Apple Bloom exclaimed, "Thanks Granny I knew-" she started but seeing that she had fallen asleep she stopped and walked out of the room.

Apple Bloom bounded her way back to Sweet Apple Acres anxiously waiting for Diamond Tiara's party. But as she got there Big Mac was yelling at a yellow stallion in a white with blue striped suit. Saying something about Sweet Apple Acres, but Apple Bloom was so happy she didn't notice.

"I told you mister, three months. But if you don't have the money by then you have to get off the land"
