Apples and Tiaras

*Foreward warning: Most of this chapter was copied and pasted from Starlight, Starbright. so.... yeah.*

Two years passed since Applebloom and Diamond Tiara's wedding, and the two of them couldn't be happier.

They've had trouble trying to find a house big enough for the 3 of them. Only thing they kept finding were apartments too small for them. So they've been living at Zim's until a house opens up. They don't know how long but they'll wait as long as possible.

Not long after the wedding, Applebloom found a invitation that didn't go out. That letter... was Applejack's. Bloom is now afraid of her sister's reprisal if she finds out she wasn't invited to her baby sister's wedding.

Silver Crown is growing up into a vibrant young unicorn filly along side her cousin Ice Flower, who's also a unicorn. Crown is certainly lively with always a word to say. Even two years in and they can't find what Green Star's contribution to her genetic structure is. If it's his libido when she turns into a teen, then Tiara's going to deck him.

Speaking of Green Star, Ms. Screw Ball said in her letter that he's making progress in his anger management classes. If he keeps this up, he may be released early. That was 12 days ago and they didn't get a letter from her since.

Other then that, life was pretty much great.

a Equestria Girls doll, modeled after Applejack, was magically manipulated into a tired pose.

Remember that in my stories, Season 3 and beyond didn't happen thanks to Requiem and the humans visiting. In this canon of mine, Equestria Girls is a animated tv show based, with their permission, on the Elements of Harmony as High School girls. Sunset Shimmer is Twilight's rival for the affection of Halo's Light and not the evil demon queen she was in the movie. Their other pony friends and lovers; Trixie, Gilda, Zilver, and Edge, among many others, appear as well. Every so often, they'd bring in the humans that inspired them to make the show; the humans who visited Equestria before- Requiem, Aura, Bahamut, Ash, Jax, Sora, and Satoshi.

"Oh... i'm so tired." Flower said in a effected voice, trying to mimic the Voice Actress.

Another doll, this one modeled after a certain blue cute and fluffy alien from Disneigh, was magically manipulated by Crown. "Argh. i'm hungry! Gimme your purse! Leather's my favorite food."

"Not a chance, you ugly thing."

"I'm not ugly. i'm cute and fluffy."

Crown then had the alien doll attack the Applejack doll, trying to nab the purse. "Ahh. No. this has all my things in it!"

The two of htem kept up their little pretend fight until they were called by Tiara. "Crown! Flower! Dinner!"

"In a moment, Mom!" Crown replied.

"...... it's Dandelion Burgers!"

That was all they needed. They shot in like a bullet, making Tiara and Zim spin in their spot. Applebloom and Snow were almost dragged out of their chairs by the unexpected shockwave. They sat in their chairs like little angels, with halos and big smiles. "Let's eat."

Tiara wobbled to the table, setting down the platter of burgers before falling.

"So Mommy, when are we going to Ponyville?" Crown asked as she grabbed her burger.

"Tomorrow at 11." Applebloom said as she grabbed hers. "Man, Applejack's gonna be surprised when she sees us."

Tiara lifted her head up and shook her head to stop the spinning eyes. She's worried about going, not because of Applejack, but because of Applebloom's friends; Dinky, Pip, Scootaloo, Feather Weight, Sweetie Belle, Rumble, Babs, and Silver Spoon. They knew Applebloom was getting married, but she didn't say to who. She's afraid of how they'll react.

Crown couldn't wait. She heard a lot of stories about her aunts and uncles and can't wait to meet them. She's so antsy, she could barely contain her excitement.

"I wish i could come." Flower somberly said, placing her head on the table.

"Maybe next time." Snow said.

Flower groaned. That's what she said the last time as well.

"Come on! We'll have loads of fun here!" Zim exclaimed. "While your mom is catching her job interview, we can go and see that Equestria Girls movie you wanted to see."

"It's not the same without Crown..."

"We'll go see it when i get back." Crown said. "Promise."

Applebloom smiled. She may not be her daughter but she sure did get her honest heart.

The next day came, which Crown could not sleep for. as soon as they boarded the train, however, she fell asleep. when the train set off, Tiara got more nervous each mile they got closer. At hte halfway point, Tiara told her nervousness out loud.

“I… I don’t know about this, Applebloom. I wasn’t exactly the best pony to be around.” Tiara said, digging her fore-hooves into it’s thighs.

Applebloom, who was looking out the window, turned to her and sighed with a chuckle. “Trust me, they will. I love you and I’m sure they’ll love you too.”

“Are you sure? You didn’t exactly tell anyone in any of your letters. You’re being as cautious as I am.”

Tiara had her there. Applebloom nervously chuckled as she scratched her neck. “well… true. But that was only because I couldn’t think of a way to explain it over a letter. But maybe meeting you and Crown in person is the best way to introduce you.”

Tiara sighed. “If you say so.”

Applebloom seductively chuckled and kissed her waifu. “Trust me. It’ll be okay. Besides, I’m sure my friends won’t make a big spectacle.” she paused for a moment. “Well, Babs Seed might.” Tiara chuckled. Applebloom chuckled as well.

The train rolled into Ponyville at 7 at night and Crown was still asleep. They rented a hotel room and put Crown to sleep there. On the way out, they learned, and heard loudly, that there's a party going on at Twilight's place. What a better place to introduce Tiara to her old friends. They wanted a carriage, not wanting to walk all the way, and headed there.

The carriage rolled up to the library and stopped in front of it.

“still not sure this is a good idea.” Applebloom’s companion said.

“Trust me. It’s gonna go fine. They’ll love ya.” Applebloom walked out of the carriage. “just wait here until I call you in. Boy, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Silver Spoon are going to be surprised when they see you.”

“I’m sure they will.”

Applebloom turned and headed to the door.

Applebloom opened the door to find that everyone was having one hell of a time partying and chattering. She waited there to see how long it would take anyone to notice her. Applejack finally noticed her after a full minute. “Applebloom!” she exclaimed. She ran over and hugged her little sister. “It’s been far too long, squirt.”

Applebloom didn’t fight it and hugged her back. “Nice to see you too, Sis. Been a long time, hasn’t it?”

“yeah. At least 4 years.” Applejack and Applebloom hugged each other again. “So, what’s up? Anything new happen to ya?” he asked, trying to hide that she heard that heard from Babs that she had a special somepony.

“Nice. Helios is doing great, looking after the ol’ homestead outside of Trottingham. Being a Vet is quite the paying job. Speaking of which…” Applebloom reached back and pulled out a bag of bits, which she tossed to Applejack. “Here. I heard that the farm wasn’t doing so good.”

“It wasn’t. and thanks. This’ll help.”

Applebloom stayed quiet for a moment, not sure how to say this next part. “Listen, Sis. There’s something I have to tell you.”

“What?”

“Well…”

“APPLEBLOOM!”

Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Babs dog-piled on her, causing them to fall over onto the floor. Feather Weight, Pip, Silver Spoon, and a heavily pregnant Dinky just watched with wide smiles as they swarmed Applebloom. “Oh, it’s so great to see you!” the 3 of them all said.

Applebloom was also ecstatic to see her friends again. “yeah. It’s good to see you guys too.” Applejack rolled her eyes and got them off before they could smother her to death.

“So what’s the deal? You stopped writing 11 months ago. Why?” Sweetie Belle asked.

Applebloom scratched her cheek. “well, I was… busy.”

“Busy?” Pip asked. “busy with what?”

“Eh… getting married, for one.”

A.J. angrily frowned. “You got married and didn’t tell me?”

“well… yeah. Sorry, Sis.”

“I just wish you told me.”

Applebloom put her hoof around her sister in a friendly way. “Tell you what, sis. Next time I get married, I’ll be sure to invite you. Okay?” she said in a joking manner.

“Applebloom…”

“I’m serious.”

Scootaloo rolled her eyes. “So, who’s the lucky stallion?”

Applebloom paused for a moment. “Eh… he’s a mare.”

“A mare?” A.J. said with a confused eyebrow raised. “You never let on you were a Filly-Fooler. Though that would explain why you could never keep a guy for more then a month.”

“I know. I didn’t realize it until I met back up with her.”

“Met back up?” Dinky muttered to herself.

“So. Who’s the lucky mare?” Feather Weight asked, not hearing Dinky‘s suspicions.

Applebloom thought on how to reveal who it was. “well… it’s probably better if I show you.”

“Show us?” Dinky asked.

“yeah.”

Applebloom lead her friends and her sister Applejack out to the carriage. The others stayed at the party because, well, it’s a party. And a Pinkie Pie party, with some help from her friends.

“What’s going on, Applebloom?” Pip asked. “What can’t you tell us?”

Applebloom stopped in mid-step. She turned her head back to them. “Listen, she’s… nervous about meeting you all. She didn’t really leave things on a pleasant note with you guys.”

“Pleasant note?” they all muttered.

“And please. Don’t freak out when you see her.” Applebloom pleaded. Everyone, not really sure what she’s going on about, nodded in agreement.

That was all Tiara needed as she opened the door by herself. To everyone’s surprise, including Applebloom’s former CMC friends, Applebloom’s wife was none other then…

“DIAMOND TIARA!?!” they all yelled in surprise.

“Hi… guys.” a nervous and surprisingly meek Diamond Tiara said.

Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Dinky were shocked to see that Applebloom is married to Diamond Tiara. She was the worst bully ever. She’d make the kid from the game look tame.

“Applebloom, how can you be married to her? She was the worst pony in school!” Scootaloo exclaimed. Knowing full well this was a argument for them alone, Pip, Feather Weight, Babs, and Silver Spoon backed out of the picture.

“I know that…” Applebloom started, knowing what she was talking about. “but if you--”

“no no no. we want to know what was going though your mind when you decided that marrying Tiara was a good idea!?” Sweetie Belle demanded.

“She was--”

“just what was wrong with you?!” Dinky also demanded.

Applejack couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Now hold on just a cotton-picking minute! I can’t believe what I’ma hearing here. My sister found happiness with a pony she loves deeply and all you have to say is that she’s messed up in the head?! Just what is wrong with you?”

“But she was…”

Applebloom stopped her. “I know Diamond Tiara was a bad bully back when you all were fillies but people can change over time.”

“Not Tiara!” Scoots sternly said. “Once a bully, Always a bully!”

Diamond Tiara tried to fight back the tears but couldn’t. she didn’t want them to see her cry so she ran off. “Tiara!” Applebloom called out. She angrily looked to her friends. “What is wrong with ya’ll!?” she exclaimed. “Tiara did change but you’re so focused on the past that you can’t accept the fact that she did change! You didn’t though a fit when Babs married Silver Spoon!”

“Because she didn’t know her the way we did!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed. “Tiara and Spoon were horrid bullies and you know it.”

“Yeah, I do. But I was able to overlook it!” A.B. angrily sighed. She turned to run after her wife when she stopped in mis-stride. She angrily looked back to her ’friends’. “Tiara has enough bad things in her life and she doesn’t need this piling on it.”

Applebloom left her so-called friends behind and ran after Tiara, leaving them confused by her last comment. “what bad stuff?” the 3 of them said, wondering what she meant by that.

Applebloom didn't look far to find Tiara; She found her in their hotel room, softly crying into a pillow. The yellow mare sat down next to her and comforted her.

“I knew coming here was a bad idea.” Tiara softly cried.

“I know and I should’ve listened. I was really hoping they would’ve gotten over the fact you were a bad bully and just accept you. I mean, my sister did.”

Tiara raised her head from the pillow. “True. But they still hate me.”

Applebloom stayed quiet. They sure didn’t show any love for this. Least A.J. was supportive, although she wasn’t happy of not being invited to the wedding. A idea then entered her mind, something that might work. But first, she had to find a filly that had disappeared. She didn’t have to look far. Heck, she didn’t have to look.

“Mommy!”

Crown ran out of the closet and piled onto Applebloom. Applebloom played along and fell onto the bed.

“Hey there, you little giddy squirt!” Applebloom chuckled.

“Hey there, Mommy.” the filly calmed down enough for Applebloom to put her down. “why was Mom crying?”

Applebloom and Diamond Tiara looked at each other. “Eh… it’s a long story, love.” Tiara said, wiping the last of her tears away. She used her magic to pull her up. “Come here, my little Silver Crown.”

Tiara’s pulled Crown over and she tickled her. Applebloom snickered evilly. She ducked down beneath the covers, pretending to be a ghost. “Ohh. Ohh. I am the ghost of hotel’s past.” Crown laughed as a little girl would. Tiara lightly chuckled at this. “I have come to warn you that pretty soon, your mother will be kissed by a yellow mare.” Applebloom pocked her head out of the other side and kissed Tiara on the lips.

Crown exclaimed like the toddler she is. “Mommy! A ghost came and told us Mom was going to be kissed by you!”

“Really?” Applebloom played along. “Did he say anything about the tickle monster?”

The cheer on Crown’s face was replaced with fear. “oh, no. no, not the tickle monster!” Applebloom laughed evilly then lunged at her daughter. Crown yelled as she ran into the closet and locked it.

Applebloom jumped back onto the bed with a wide smirk. “I can’t believe the plan worked. Now we’re alone.”

Tiara seductively chuckled and cuddled up next to her. “Really? Well then…”

The two of them shared a passionate kiss which Crown saw and went, “OOH!!”

“Silver Crown!” both Applebloom and Diamond Tiara exclaimed

the next day...

Applebloom stood by her sister’s stall in the Ponyville markets, showing Silver Crown the tricks of the trade, with Applejack, Zilver, Big Mac, and Diamond Tiara watching.

“Now, Crown, the key to finding a good, ripe apple is the same way you tell if a Watermelon is ripe.” she tapped it with the edge of her hoof. “Ya tap it.”

“Tap it?”

“yeah, Tap it?” Diamond Tiara added. “I never knew you could do that.” she asked Applejack.

“we don’t.” A.J. whispered. “it’s mostly about luck.” Tiara softly exclaimed. “hmhmhm. You’re gonna play your daughter for a fool, Applebloom.”

Applebloom heard but ignored her. She grabbed a few apples off the stall. “tell me, which ones are wipe?”

Crown grabbed the 4 apples and looked them over, tapping them. Zil and Mac silently chuckled. “Ripe. Ripe. Ripe. Rotten.” she tossed the ‘rotten’ one away.

“Rotten?” the apple family all said in surprise. Upon hitting the ground, it broke into nasty orange parts. “huh. Guess it was.” A.J. commented.

“Can’t win them all.” Zil said.

“ew. Where’d this come from?” Scootaloo said.

Applebloom looked to see her and the rest of her friends there. Friends that hurt her wife’s feelings yesterday. “What are you guys doing here?” she asked. “If it’s to further berate me, don’t.”

“no no no. it’s not that.” Dinky said. “we… should’ve have reacted the way we did.”

“We should’ve listened to the whole story before we freaked out.” Pip said.

Applebloom and Tiara momentarily glanced to each other. “You… really want to hear how me and Tiara met?” a hesitant Applebloom asked.

Sweetie Belle used her magic to pull up a table and a few chairs. “that answer your question?”

It did. It took them one argument but they’re finally going to hear it and finally see why she fell in love with her.

“I must admit, but I’m also curious.” Applejack said.

“me too.” Big Mac and Zilver said.

“Then you better sit down.” Applebloom said. “This is going to be awhile.”

As the apple family sat down, Tiara bent down to tell her daughter, “Crown, why don’t you go and see if you can find some nice picture books at Golden Oaks Library.”

“Okay, mommy.” the filly gave her mom a quick kiss on the cheek then headed to the library. Tiara smiled and joined Applebloom.

“So spill. When we were foals, you were mortal enemies.” Feather Weight said. “And now you’re married with a kid? How the heck did that happen?”

Applebloom wondered that herself, once upon a time. “well, if you’ll remember, Tiara moved to Trottingham with her father when her parents got a divorce, right?”

“Yeah. That’s when the humans were in town.” Applejack said.

“Oh, that’s what happened to her.” Dinky said. “And here I thought the author forgot her.”

The who? “Un… think you’re going crazy in your pregnancy, Dinks.” Babs said.

“Anyway…” Applebloom said, getting back to the subject at hand. “…we reunited 3 years ago, when I just moved in with cousin Zim Zam in Trottingham…”

Applebloom and Tiara explained the whole story to them, about how they met up again, the entire escapade with Green Star, meeting back up with Twist, Crown's birth, and getting married.

“And… here we are now.” Applebloom said. “telling you guys the whole story.”

“wow… it’s like fate brought you guys together all those years ago but only did the feelings blossom after a long time apart.” Sweetie Belle said. She stood still for a moment then brought out a pad and paper. “that would make a good song.”

Applejack patted her sister on the back. “I raised you well, sis, if you went up against someone like Green Star.”

“it was nothing.” Applebloom modestly replied.

Dinky, however, whimpered in fear. “it hurt that much?” she whimpered, gesturing to the birth, something she herself is going to have to go though any day now. To twins, no less.

“OH, yeah.” Tiara said, not even trying to hide it. “it hurts like HELL! You feel like you’re going to die; like your body is going to split apart.”

“I can vouch for that.” Applejack said, remembering her own traumatic experience with Peppy. “I didn’t think Peppy would fit though such a small opening.”

Dinky whimpered and began to hyperventilate. “Oh, I’m gonna kill you, Pip.”

“and we got a preview. How nice.” Babs joked.

“Dinky. Dinky. Calm down.” Tiara said. “yes, it hurts like there’s no tomorrow but, when you feel that little, tiny life form in your hooves for the first time and know that you created it… it makes up for the pain in spades.”

That filled the panicking mother-to-be with some hope. “you promise?”

Applejack and Tiara looked to each other and nodded. “Cross me heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” they both said.

“Speaking of babies, does Silver Crown know of her father?” Zilver asked.

“unfortunately, yes.” Applebloom said. “he came to the house a few months before we left, ranting a storm about how he’s going to get her, no matter what happens. Thankfully, Tiara’s father stepped in again and this time, sent him to a mental ward north of Baltimare.”

“Least it’s far enough away to where he won’t come back sometime soon.” Big Mac said.

“eeeyup.” Tiara and Applebloom said in unison.
