Ugh my head I roll onto my chest and try to get myself to my knees, I look around and I'm in a dark place. I don't see nothing, a door opens showing nothing but brightness. My brother walks out of it and looks at me, "Come on brother, Mother is waiting." I get up and back away, "No, I'm not going anywhere." my brother walks around and starts a flashback in my head, "Remember the orphanage, I bet you do. I was there, I was one of those kids who was actually nice to you. You have a lot to think about, so you can stay here or come with me. It's your choice, but you do know. You will have to come in here anyway."

I shake my head in disapproval, he then walks back into the light, I fall back onto my knees "Applejack, I'm sorry." I start to look around. This can't be happening. My brother was one of them, I...  I....

Friendship

I believed what we had would last forever

After all the moments we spent together

Were they meaningless in the end?

If friendship is supposed to be magic

Why has ours become so tragic

I'm no longer proud to call you my friend

Feels like after all this time

You should have known we'd be here tonight

Wondering where the past has gone

All the memories we lost when we moved on

Honestly

It hurts thinking

About the way

We were, just you and me

This isn't what friendship is supposed to be

Giving up always seemed so easy

But it's hard when it's you and me

And I don't want to say goodbye

We've hurt each other time and time again

I guess all good things come to an end

But I don't want to lose you tonight

Feels like after all this time

You should have known we'd be here tonight

Wondering where the past has gone

All the memories we lost when we moved on

Honestly

It hurts thinking

About the way

We were, just you and me

This isn't what friendship is supposed to be

Don't say goodbye

I promise everything will be alright

Don't leave me

I'm sorry

I'll fix this if it costs me my life

I'm going to make this right

Feels like after all this time

You should have known we'd be here tonight

Wondering where the past has gone

All the memories we lost when we moved on

Honestly

It hurts thinking

About the way

We were, just you and me

This isn't what friendship is supposed to be

I put my hands against my face, I start crying. "I want to go back, I can't stay here." I then hear a sound behind me. "Son." I get up on my feet and turn fast, I step forward and look closely. "Dad?" The man smiles, "It's you" He then walks forward and hugs me, I'm just standing there stunned. I felt the sadness then I pushed into my Dad's hug and start crying on his shoulder as he taps my back.

A few minutes fly past crying into his shoulder. I finally calmed down and pulled away, My Father puts his hand on my shoulder. "I think your ready to know the truth, I can get you back." I look at him confused, "Wait, how do you...." He finishes my sentence, "Know about Applejack, I was always with you. In your head, I joined you from being little to here. You must have a lot of questions to ask, I can tell, but there is something you need to know."

He took a deep breath and let it out and began. "Your mother has tricked your brothers, I need you to get them away from your mother. Their under her control because of power, your mother is just using them to get that power and when she is all done. She will use your brothers as servants, she has everything she needs...but you. I need you to gather your brothers and get them out of there. I arranged something for you." He points at the other side of the black room.

Another door opening with brightness, I look back towards him waiting for him to tell me what it is. "It's the portal back to where you want to go, you can see Applejack again. But get your brothers and I will fully unlock it." I get up and head for the other portal where my brothers are, but Father grabs my arm. "I love you" I pull him into hug, "I love you too dad" I pull away and run towards the portal to my evil mother.

==========

As soon as I enter the portal, I get surrounded by my brothers. pushing me down on my knees and holding my arms back, "Guys listen come back with me, your mother is tricking you." They weren't listening, "Please listen to me I just talked to our Father, and...."

I was let go and they all stepped back, I get up fast and step away from them. One of them lifted his arm to speak, "How, isn't he dead." I stagger back, "I think I knew that, but you got to come with me." they all look at each other, "Please, your mother is just tricking you. Did she tell you to do this, put me on my knees." They all nodded, "Don't you think if she was kind she would try a more gentle approach, I didn't think so."

I turn to see the castle gates opening, "Come on we have to go." I grab all my brothers and we head out the door, into the black room.

===========

All six of us, run out of the portal. I look over at my father, "CLOSE IT!" My father gets to work on shutting the door, one person got through before the gates closed. The Five of my brothers looked in shock, "Mother." I look at all of them and step in front of them to face my mother, She is a big lady who seems to have to much cake in her possession. (lol)

"Son, why are you resisting." She says in a loving voice and an English accent, "Come on do you really think you can get out of my hands like that," She snapped her fingers.

"Well, I seemed to have escaped. What are you going to do about it, ground me?" I joke, she gets angry and jokes back, "No, you deserve a spanking." I get in a fighting stance, "I don't think so blob." She starts laughing evilly, "Lets fight somewhere, your own standards." She then snaps her fingers at me and It all went black.

===========

I shot my eyes open to notice she transported us on a cloud, I go to the edge and look down to see. Ponyville, she must have been watching me too.

"There, is no way you can't escape from this." She jokes another time.

I turn and got ready for the fight, "I don't need an escape plan." I chuckle and ran towards her, as soon as I threw the punch. She stops it with her hand and lifts me up with the other and throws me to the other side of the cloud, she starts laughing again. I get up fast and start running at her again, but slowed down when I got close, I swung the right arm but tricked her and hit her in the stomach with my other. I noticed something behind her, it was Rainbow Dash.

I saw from the corner of my eye, my mother threw a punch. I jolted hard back and kicked her in the face, knocking some teeth out of her. She was angry now, she made sure everyone could hear her. She screamed, I looked back at Rainbow and she was looking towards here.

My mother then swings again and I move out of the way, she does the same thing over and over again but I still manage to dodge. I got close to the edge, she swung one more time. I grabbed it and pulled her to my spot, she was close to the edge. I run and tackle her off of the cloud, while falling she elbows me in the head causing me to let go.

We fought for a while until I could see the floor, I grabbed onto my mother and used her as a soft landing. As we hit the ground I roll off my crushed mother. I look over to see some ponies were coming to see what happened, I bolted and while running I saw the portal.

=========

I jump through the portal and look up to see my brothers and Father, I smile "I don't think we will be seeing her again, from what I learned I think mother won't be coming back." (He learned that he can kill his own kind for good.) All my brothers ran up and start hugging me, "I told mother was evil" I remind them.

I look at my father, he smiles and points at the door. "Guys, lets get out of here." We all break apart from the hugs and we start running towards the light, my father grabbed me. "Listen son, I will always be with you. I'm always watching, I love you son" I grab him and pull him into a hug, "I love you too" He pushes me a little to get off of him, "Now go your love is waiting" I nod my head and run to catch up to my brothers.

=========

We enter the portal and it disappears behind us, I look around to see my brothers transformed into ponies. I look confused and look at my hands and I notice two things, 1: I'm on four legs, 2: I have hooves. I can move something on my back, I turn and I notice. I HAVE WINGS, amazing. I look over at my brothers as they look at each other confusingly, I laugh. "Guys I think we have some surprising to do."

We walk around Ponyville but I can't find Applejack, I can hear muffled voices coming from a mile away. It's at the graveyard. I grab my brothers attention, "Guys, to the cemetery." We all gallop to the graveyard, during the run I started thinking, Graveyard? funeral? My funeral? as we enter I could see Applejack just staring at the grave, Rainbow put her arm on Applejack's shoulder.

looking like this

I started slowing down into a walk, everyone was there all six of them. Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack. As I walk closer I was stopped by the five. Twilight put her hoove up, "Don't, I suggest you turn around and talk to her later, she is in to much shock." I try to talk but we were all pushed, "wait, hang on." I try pushing trough them but I can't, I remembered eveything that summer, "Applejack!"

Applebuckin

I remember that summer I spent with you

Working on the farm, nothing else to do

Now weren't those the days

Why can't it always be that way?

I dream every night of those times we talked

Telling ghost stories up at three o'clock

No point in wishing now

But you're all I think about

I remember those nights out by the lake

We would tell each other it wouldn't fade away

It was those times that made me realize

There was something more than just those memories

Something makes me wish I could go back to see

That sparkle in your eyes

Cuz' I swear I felt somethin'

Last summer, applebuckin'

Do you ever think about the way we used to be

Those sunny days, just you and me

We'd go swimming out back in the pond

You'd keep talking on and on

Do you remember the feeling when we first met

I know that I never will forget

I can't stop thinking 'bout the way

You stole my heart that day

I remember those nights out by the lake

We would tell each other it wouldn't fade away

It was those times that made me realize

There was something more than just those memories

Something makes me wish I could go back to see

That sparkle in your eyes

Cuz' I swear I felt somethin'

Last summer, applebuckin'

Now I know how much you mean to me

With the way you played my heart like a symphony

If I could only somehow go back to

That summer that I spent with you

All I have is those memories

And they mean so much to me

When I think about those times

I can't help but wish you were mine

I remember those nights out by the lake

We would tell each other it wouldn't fade away

It was those times that made me realize

There was something more than just those memories

Something makes me wish I could go back to see

That sparkle in your eyes

Cuz' I swear I felt somethin'

Last summer, applebuckin'

I remember that summer I spent with you

Working on the farm, nothing else to do

I'll never forget that time

Because the thought of you is all I have tonight

Applejack faces me, she pushes her friends out the way and hugs me soaking my coat with her tears. During the hug my sly brothers were talking to the rest, they all had so much in common.

After a while I pull her away from the hug, we lean forward and kiss. The taste of Applejack's lips made my heart sore. After a few minutes, we pull back from the kiss and all we did was stare into each others eyes, until voice interrupted.

"Let's party!" I look over to see my brothers hands the air, "I was just about to say that" Pinkie says. I come up with an idea, "Let's all hit the club" We all cheer and we head to the club, during the walk there Applejack asked me how I came back differently. I told her about everything and about my father and mother, I told her it didn't matter anymore I was with her. She also reminded herself that she forgot to say I love you back, we kissed and walked to the club.

Yea, it seemed everything worked out.

"Bartender, Two shots."

I was living the life.

"Another"

I was having a great time.

"Rock that DJ Vinyl"

I was dancing with the girl I love.

"I love you Applejack, I'll prove it to you"

I took one more shot and after that, I blackout.

===========

I wake up in my bed with a throbbing headache, I get up slowly and stand, making myself dizzy. I head into the bathroom and do the original routine. I brushed my teeth, showered, and straighten my hair.

After I was done I headed out of the bathroom, and walked out of my bedroom door and then I then hear a moan. I lean backwards wondering what was that noise, I saw Applejack in my bed. Next Chapter: The Night After Estimated time remaining: 4 Minutes
