Apple Family

In the fields of Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and Big Macintosh were bucking the trees, watching the apples fall into the baskets below.

“Well Ah have to say Big Mac, this will probably be the first we have ever gotten done on time,” Applejack said with a smile on her face, and got a simple eeyup from her big brother.

“I wonder how Applebloom is doing with her crusading; I hope she isn’t getting into trouble,”

Big Mac shrugged his shoulders and put the baskets of apples into the cart, ready to take them back to the barn, when he and Applejack heard their little sisters voice. “Big Mac! Applejack, I’m back!”

Not looking towards their sister, Applejack picked up some of the apples that fell out of the cart and threw them back in.

“Howdy Applebloom, how did the crusading go?”

“Oh, we decided to stop being the Cutie Mark Crusaders,”

“Well that’s nice- Wait what!?” Applejack stammered her eyes wide in surprise of the news.

“Yeah, me, Pearl, and Amethyst decided to stop since we can no longer get our Cutie Marks,”

“What are you talking about!? Who is Pearl and Amethyst!? And what...” Applejack was saying, until she turned around and saw a yellow baby dragon with red spines, and wearing Appleblooms bow. Big Mac and Applejacks expressions were one of fright of concern. They were frighten at the fact that their little sister was turned into a dragon, and concerned that she might be hurt.

“Applebloom, are you okay?”

“Sorry Applejack, but its Ruby now, and Ah’m okay” Ruby said with a smile on her face.

“Who-who did this to you Sugarcube?” Applejack asked, getting more frightened by the second.

“It was Spectrum,”

“Who is Spectrum?”

“That would be me,”

Out from behind the apple trees, came a giant cyan dragoness with magenta eyes, she looked down at the apple family, who were wide eyed at the sight. She just smiled and turned her eyes to Applejack.

“Hey Applejack, I see you’re as busy as ever,”

“Th-that voice, it can’t be, Rainbow Dash?”

“I use to be Rainbow Dash, but it is now Spectrum,”

Applejack and Big Mac stared at their once Pegasus friend, eyes wide and mouths open in disbelief.

“What happened to you Rainbow?”

“Made a potion and it turned me into a dragoness,” Spectrum replied nonchalantly.

“And did you do this to my sister?” Applejack asked, pointing her hoof at the yellow baby dragon.

“Yes I did, I promised her and her friends that if they become dragons, they wouldn’t have to worry about not having Cutie Mark,”

“Well you better change her back because Ahrefuse to have a dragon as a sister! It will scare off the customers!” Applejack shouted, she heard some sniffles and stared at the source, and what she saw broke her heart, her little sister was crying.

“You (sniff) you don’t me to be your sister?” Ruby asked, tears staining her scaly face.

It was right there and then did Applejack realize what she just said. She walked to her sister and brought a hoof out to hug her and comfort her, but the baby dragon just slapped the hoof away and ran to Spectrum, burying her face into the cyan dragoness tail.

While the events before was happening, Spectrum jerked back in surprise. She couldn’t believe that she heard her best friend say that she wouldn’t accept having her sister because she was a dragon, and to add insult to injury, she called Ruby an “it” and said she would scare away the customers. She was so shocked by the event that she didn’t notice that Ruby ran to her and began crying in her tail. Spectrum looked at the weeping baby dragon, and then glared at the orange apple farmer.

“Applejack, that was, by far the worst thing you have ever done,” Spectrum growled, wrapping her tail around the baby dragon.

Applejack stared at Spectrum with pain in her eyes, and looked at her brother, who was giving her an angry glare. She felt so bad about what she said, that to avoid the stares, she cowered on the ground and used her hat to cover her eyes.

“Ah’m sorry Applebloom, Ah really am, please I’ll do anything to make it up to you,” Applejack begged.

Spectrum knew that what Applejack said was genuine; she sighed and looked at the two older siblings.

“So you really want to be with Ruby?”

“Yes, Ah do!”

“Well I can turn you and your brother into dragons, so you could stay as a family”

“Please, do it!”

“Alright,” Spectrum picked up the two and licked them both, the lick causing both of them to wipe themselves off of the saliva. She didn’t expect this to happen, what she planned to do was come in with Ruby, trick them by telling them that she would burn down the farm if they didn’t becomes dragons with their sister, and go off. But this was far from that.

Applejack was attempting to wipe the saliva off her face and body. “I told her to turn me into a dragon, not lick me,” she thought. Then as if an anvil fell on her, she fell down in pain; her body was spazzing as her entire body was covered in orange scales. Her snout grew out and her teeth morphed into razor sharp canines. Her pupils became slits and her main and tail fell off.

“You never said that it would be painful!” Applejack yelled, she felt her neck grow and her spine continued to grow until she had a scaly dragon tail. She realized that despite the pain, she felt good, much better than her old pony body. Her hind hooves morphed into clawed feet and her front legs and hooves turned into arms and clawed hands. Her muscles thickened and yellow spikes grew from her head to her tail. She looked over her body and smiled.

“Woo wee, this is mighty nice,”

“It’s not done yet,”

Applejack looked at Spectrum confused, but then felt pain in her shoulder blades; she looked behind and saw two wings growing out. Her jaw was wide open as she gave them a test flap, and sure enough they worked. She grinned and lightly punched Spectrums shoulders.

“Thanks Rai-Spectrum, I feel stronger and better than before,”

“Glad I could help, and I think Big Mac agrees,”

Applejack turned around and saw a huge red dragon, even bigger than she was, and with muscles and wings bigger than hers.

Spectrum looked at the Apple Dragons, she noticed that Applejack had bigger muscles than she did, but her wings were considerably smaller, and Big Mac was even bigger than she was, and was hulking muscles, and huge wings, but she guessed the wings helped him because of the added weight.

“Well Applejack, Big Mac,”

“Actually Spectrum, call me Amber,”

“Okay and what about you Big Mac?”

Big Mac rubbed his chin in thought and gave his answer.

“Steel,”

“Okay, Amber, Steel, take Ruby into the Everfree Forest, find Gem, and wait for me there,”

“Um Spectrum, what about Granny Smith?”

“Sorry Amber, but I think the pain of the transformation would be too much for her, but I know the citizens of Ponyville
will help her,”

“I hope your right,”

Spectrum flew off, leaving the three siblings.

“Well you heard her, let’s go into the Everfree Forest,” Amber, went to pick up Ruby, but the baby dragon back away angrily and went to Steel. This left her heart broken, and it was made worse when Steel picked Ruby up, put her on his back, and then hug his neck. Her head hung low as they walked into the forest.
