A Fluttercord Story
Chapter 10
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAtticus carried a leftover bag as they then left the corner. "Hopefully Twilight doesn't mind leftovers."
"I'm sure she won't." Mo said.
"She's not allergic to anything, is she?" Atticus asked Spike.
"Nah, those will do just fine." Spike smiled.
"Great." Atticus smiled.
Spike smirked then. "But I won't mind taking some."
"Uh, I think you had enough donuts from Donut Joe earlier..." Atticus levitated the bag out of the baby dragon's reach.
Spike pouted in defeat.
"Nice try though." Atticus smirked before he ruffled the scales on Spike's head.
Spike laughed as that tickled. Atticus then left to get the donuts to Twilight. Twilight was luckily still buried in her bed. Atticus then placed the bag on the alicorn princess's nightstand and tucked Twilight in as she continued to doze off.
"Good night, Twilight." Atticus whispered before kissing her on the forehead.
Twilight seemed to smile in her sleep from that. Atticus then left to let Twilight get some more rest.
That night...
Apple Bloom stared out her bedroom window as the twin shooting stars went by the home as they did every night. Her eyes were red and puffy from the crying after finding out what really happened to her parents when she was just a foal, but she was now thinking about her heart in a different way. It was aching and burning, for love... Her love... Timber. She even began to try to get to sleep, but no matter what, she couldn't get to sleep.
In the Everfree forest, Timber had the same trouble. He then looked down at Apple Bloom's ribbon/bow and where he decided that he should return it to her tonight while everyone was asleep. He looked around and saw that everyone appeared to be asleep.
Timber carried the ribbon securely in his mouth as he then tiptoed out of the forest and headed for Sweet Apple Acres, and where he soon saw that Apple Bloom was at her window, unable to sleep either. Timber looked up, he then took a couple of pebbles and threw them at the window. Apple Bloom blinked and then looked down to see Timber. Timber smiled and gestured for her to come down. Apple Bloom tiptoed by Applejack and Big Mac's rooms and knew Granny Smith wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night unless it was Zap Apple Jam season and she then came down to the young timberwolf.
"What are ya'll doing here?" Apple Bloom whispered.
"I just wanted to return this to you." Timber whispered back before he untied the ribbon/bow from his neck and then gave it to Apple Bloom.
"My ribbon!" Apple Bloom whispered loudly.
Timber smiled as the filly then took it and put it back where it belonged and she looked much happier now. He began to help her get it back in place. Apple Bloom and Timber then smiled to each other, seeming to blush as they looked into each other's eyes. They were almost about to kiss, but then, they heard someone coming.
"What's that!?" Apple Bloom suddenly panicked.
"Oh, no..." Timber sounded worried.
They soon heard it coming from inside Apple Bloom's house. Apple Bloom rushed over. Timber kept an eye out and followed her. The one that was awake was Granny Smith.
"Granny..." Apple Bloom whispered. "Ah can't believe she woke up from her sleep! She never wakes up from her sleep!"
"Never?" Timber whispered.
"Never ever..." Apple Bloom shook her head.
Granny Smith poked her head out the window. Apple Bloom and Timber soon hid. Granny Smith looked out the window.
"Get down so she doesn't see us." Apple Bloom told Timber.
Timber nodded before he ducked down. Apple Bloom and Timber looked nervous.
Granny Smith wandered out into the backyard and looked around.
Apple Bloom sniffled. "Ahh... Ahh!"
Timber quickly put a paw over Apple Bloom's nose to keep the sneeze in.
"Whew." Apple Bloom sighed quietly.
Timber smiled to her and she then smiled back to him.
"Hmm... Ah thought Ah saw Apple Bloom come out here." Granny Smith said.
Apple Bloom's stomach turned when she heard her name. Timber soon used a rock and made it sound like Apple Bloom was in the orchard. Granny Smith's left ear wiggled and she then went to the orchard.
"Phew!" Apple Bloom and Timber breathed in relief.
Apple Bloom soon rushed to the door to make it look like she was there all along. Granny Smith came there.
"Hey, Granny!" Apple Bloom smiled nervously.
"Why, Half-Pint, what're ya doin' up so late in the orchard?" Granny Smith asked her youngest grandchild.
"Ah-Ah thought Ah heard something, but it was nothing, but look what Ah found on the ground." Apple Bloom smiled.
Granny Smith leaned over. "Why! It's yer ribbon, Flibberty Gibbert."
"I guess my special friend must have brought it back to me." Apple Bloom smiled.
"Ooh, is that the one ya had that dream 'bout?" Granny Smith then asked.
"Yup," Apple Bloom nodded. "And Ah hope ya can meet him."
"Ah would love to meet one of yer little friends." Granny Smith smiled.
"Maybe tomorrow." Apple Bloom smiled.
Granny Smith patted the filly on the head. "It's late now, come along."
"Yes, Granny." Apple Bloom nodded to her guardian.
The two of them soon went back inside. Apple Bloom looked around and saw that Timber was going back into the forest. She wasn't sure what she felt deep down in her heart, but she could feel it racing a thousand miles an hour and her hooves felt lighter than air as though that were physically possible. She felt her frontal hooves sweating and her face seemed warmer as it was bright pink with blushing. Could it be that she was in love with a timberwolf? She shook her head trying to get that thought out of her head I mean, how could anyone, even a timberwolf love a blank flank like her? She then shrugged to herself and crawled into bed until the rooster would crow and Applejack would call out for breakfast the next morning.
