A HUGE "Thank You :D!" To Starscape593 for writing the first review :D! Its good to know that my story is appreciated :3
Anyway, here comes the next chapter, i've been sort of busy with my other fic, but don't worry, i won't quit this fic until its finished :D!

*** Chapter Eleven ***

Magenta gasped. Somepony tried to murder Big Macintosh? Was this some kind of joke? But when she saw the tears in her friends eyes, she realized it weren't.
"Y-you wanna tell me what happened?" Magenta asked carefully and tried to comfort Applejack by placing her hoof on top of her hoof. AJ hesitated, but then she nodded.
"We ain't sure. We were all on Sweet Apple Acres when it happened, and we were busy cleaning up the farm, or whats left of it, from debree. Me and Granny Smith can't do much, but we helped them sort out whatever undamaged and useful things from the destroyed debree. Anyhow, one second Big Mac were with us and the next he said he heard somepony argueing from the orchards and went to see who it was and what it was all about. However, time passed and when he didn't return, we sent Applebloom to go search for him. However, she came back. Screaming. She was hysterical and cried and said Big Mac was dead. We followed her to the place she said she found him. And there he was, on the ground..." Applejack bit her lip to stop herself from crying. "He had been hit in the head with a large rock. Multiple times..." She whispered and clenched Magentas hoof. "I swear, when i fin the ponies who did it to him..." She said and her voice became an angry hiss.

Magenta were still in chock and didn't wan't to believe what Applejack said.
"How is he now?"
"He's here at the hospital. He wakes up now and then, but he can't remember who it was. He says he couldn't see who they were, but they sounded familiar..."
"They? So there were more than one?"

"We've asked him that too, but he can't even remember that!" Applejack started to quietly sob. Magenta had never seen Applejack sad before. Applejack were always so strong, so optimistic! But now, tears were rolling down her cheeks, and she was unable to stop them. The others were also sad. They weren't used to see Applejack like this either.
Applejack noticed everypony were looking at her with worried looks in their eyes. AJ sniveled and dried her nose.
"Are you okay, AJ?" Rainbow asked her friend. Applejack nodded.

"Yeah i'm fine... I'm just so... frustrated! Everythin' goes straight to buck and i can't do nothin'! If i can get mah hooves on the ones behind this...!" She shook her head. "Who am i kiddin'? We have to sell the farm now... All these hospital bills have ruined us, not to mention that we need to rebuild the farm!"
"No! Don't be like that, AJ! We'll figure out how to make it!" Twilight said and patted Applejack on her back. The other ponies nodded in agreement.
"Yeah! You've always said that Sweet Apple Acres can handle anything!" Rainbow boasted.
"And no matter what, you know that we'll ALWAYS be there for you!" Rarity said comforting.

The others agreed. Applejack smiled at her friends.
"Aw schoo, thank you guys" She said. "You're right Rainbow! I've said that, and y'all know that i'm always telling the truth! Sweet Apple Acres have always been able to survive all kinds of disasters! Why would this be any different?" Everypony cheered up by Applejacks change of attitude. They all agreed on helping out on the farm while Applejack and Big Macintosh were injured. Even Rarity, who had alot to do in her boutique already as it is, and hated to get her hooves dirty. They were going to sell everything they had harvested so far and everypony they knew were going to contribute with something like tents, tools and blankets etc.
Magenta hoped that they somehow would save Sweet Apple Acres, but then she and Applejack got a couple of seconds of eyecontact and Magenta saw the doubt in her eyes. She knew how bad everything really was. But, why didn't she tell them?

Suddenly Magentas stomach rumbled.
"Sounds like somponys hungry?" Rainbow Dash said and chuckled.
"Why don't we all go and eat? We all need to get our spirits lifted!" Twilight suggested. Everypony agreed.

"And everythings on me!" Pinkie Pie said and bounced happily.
Magenta smiled. She hadn't eaten anything for days, so some food would be perfect. She was starving!
