Red flame the unicorn with a broken horn

Applejack ran as fast as she could. She still couldn't believe how fast Red Flame was, he could keep up quite nicely with Rainbow Dash. Her little bro seemed to just disappear for an instant. She stopped looking around for him. However she failed to notice sleep powder fall over her head being dropped by Red Flame from a tree branch. She fell to the ground and everything went black.

During her sleep she started dreaming about the night she met Red Flame. It was a day she'd never forget, on a stormy night in the forest she was just on her way back to ponyville. She had entered a nearby town's rodeo and won first place, a blue ribbion on her backpack as a result of that. However she glanced to her right and saw a really young filly bleeding on the ground. His unicorn horn had been broken, he was bleeding all over his body as well. She Carefully lifted the injured pony onto her back.

"Don't worry. Ah'll take care of ya." Applejack whispered.

She took him back to the Applefarm in ponyville. The apples were especially startled when Applejack brought home a bleeding pony. Big macintosh helped her get the young filly onto a guest bed. She began to treat his wounds as best he could, Applebloom was worried about the filly. It was tough, but she managed to take care of him to where his life wasn't in danger anymore. She slept by the red pony's side all night long.

"H-Hello." A voice said.

Applejack awoke to see the filly was awake. She smiled she knew he still needed to be taken to the hospital, but at least he was awake now.

"Hello Ah'm Applejack. Ah found ya last night and brought ya to my home." Applejack explained.

The filly seemed confused, not just about his current situation.

"Uh what's your name?" Applejack asked.

"It's Red Flame, I think." He questioned.

"Uhh, well do ya have any parents ya can call?"

"I-I'm not sure."

This was worse than she thought. This kid must've developed amnesia, she felt sorry for the little guy not remembering his family or friends. She would have to talk to Granny Smith about looking after him while he's like this. She'd do that tomorrow though. She walked over to Red Flame's bed to see if he was okay. She accidently brushed the exposed skin of his side that wasn't covered in bandages while she checked him. This caused a rather cute giggle to come from the little filly.

"Oh sorry ya ticklish?" Applejack smiled.

"Hehe yeah, but it's okay I'm pretty sure I love being tickled." Red Flame smiled.

Applejack giggled at this. She stroked her tail along his belly for a few seconds. Red Flame laughed cutely wiggling on the bed. She stopped since Red Flame still needs some rest. She liked Red Flame though she figured Pinkie Pie would really like him.

"All right ya just get some rest. Ah'll take ya to the hospital to have your injuries assed by a doctor." Applejack explained.

"Okay that sounds good." Red Flame smiled.

After the visit from the doctor she learned Red Flame's amnesia was caused by his horn being broken. Though Red Flame didn't seem to be bothered by this. Infact over the next few days she and Red Flame became quite close. He would help her with her Applebucking whenever he could, she would always play his silly tickle games with him. Applebloom especially was growing quite fond of Red Flame as well. He often stuck up for Applebloom at school when she got bullied by Diamond Tiara. She finally worked up the courage to ask Granny Smith.

"Granny Ah got a question.Could we adopt Red Flame into the family?" Applejack asked.

"He won't have amnesia forever sweetie." Granny Smith reminded.

"Ah know but-"

She stopped when Red Flame came into the room.

"It's okay, as far as I'm concerned you ponies are my family. I don't need my memory back." Red Flame explained.

"Sweetie your parents might be worried sick about ya." Granny smith pointed out.

"There's also a chance they could be dead. I don't want to take the chance if I already have ponies who care for me here."

Applejack looked at Granny as the elder pony thought. Red Flame's mind seemed made up and one's forcing him to think this way. Applebloom eagerly knodded her head yes. Big Macintosh just did his simple yup. She sighed when Granny smiled.

"Okay it's settled Red Flame will become part of the family." Granny smith decided.

Red Flame smiled and hugged his new big sister Applejack. She had grown to love the little guy, but couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"I couldn't ask for a better sister than you." Red Flame mumbled.

With that the guilt was gone and the other Apples joined the two in a group hug.

That day she met the tickle loving happy go lucky pony Red Flame. She couldn't be anymore happy about that if she tried.

She was slowly brought back to the present when she woke up and found herself back in Twilight's library. She looked up to see her hind hooves were tied to the stair railing so she was upside down. She was just a couple inches above the ground. She looked infront of her to see the pony she had just been dreaming about with his cute smile.

"Hehe I got you Applejack." Red Flame giggled.

"Do ya'r worst lil bro." Applejack playfully taunted.

She saw Red flame's scar glow red, in seconds two feathers hovered inches away from her belly. She felt those tools brush up against her belly skin. She began to laugh madly from it, she squirmed around in the ropes that held her. Those feathers we're leaving no part of this belly untouched, digging up every ounce of laughter she could make.

"Hehe such a cute belly." Red Flame teased.

Red flame watched her sister squirm and laugh from the feathers. Applejack always told him he looked cute when tickled, but she was looking pretty cute herself here. He lifted a toothbrush from Twilight's backpack and positioned it on the center of Applejack's belly. He moved the brush up and down the defenseless skin causing Aj to laugh harder.

As he tickle tortured his big sister, he was glad he chose Applejack. Sure there maybe some part of him that still wants to remember his past. But if it wasn't for Applejack he would've been dead. Sevral ponies walked by him that night, not one stopped to help him until Applejack came. He stops the tickle tools for a minute letting Applejack catch her breathe.

"Applejack." Red Flame smiled.

"What?" Applejack asked while panting.

She was suddenly hugged by Red Flame. She returned it as best she could being upside down and all.

"Thanks for caring." Red Flame smiled.

Tears streamed down his eyes but they were of joy not suddenness.
