Author's Notes:

Reasons why this took such a god damn long time:

1. It's testing month. Half of my time is used to study. The other half is used to relax.

2. I'm trying to make this more detailed. I want it to be perfect for you guys.

3. I'm trying to plan the rest of the story. I haven't completely filled in all the juicy details. I do have a general idea, but it still needs some help. I am open to small suggestions. Nothing too big though.

4. I didn't say that this is the only story I'm working on...

Thank you for all your understanding. Enjoy!

*Sweetie Belle POV*

"That movie was awesome!! THAT ENDING WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!" Sweetie screeched. The sky was dark and bore a billion stars, all surrounding a bright full moon.
The two foals were walking back from the movie theater. Although the movie was a bit scary, that was the fun in it! Sweetie ended up enjoying more than she thought she would. She still couldn't believe she went on a date with Pip..... I mean HE was the colt of HER DREAMS!!! This had to be the BEST NIGHT OF HER LIFE!!! But yet.... there was something missing... Something deep deep down...... She couldn't explain it.... It didn't make any sense.......

"Really? I thought the ending was lame!" Pip said, cutting off her thoughts.

"It was good to me!" Sweetie continued, trying to not fall into awkward silence. "I mean... yeah it was scary but...... that's the point right?"

Pip rolled his eye's and looked up to the sky, peering at the shining diamonds above. Before she knew it, they were standing in front of her house, waiting for Rarity to open the door. The wait was agonizing.... Rarity was taking her pretty little time to answer the door. Sweetie knew she had to strum up SOME conversation.

"Well.... Thanks Pip...." Sweetie Belle muttered, blushing. "I really had fun tonight...."

"Yep....." Pip mumbled, keeping his cool. Ugh.... this was harder than she thought. Pip was DEFINITELY not the romantic type. So, that means that Sweetie has to make the first move...... Well.... Rarity was almost at the door....... It was now or never.

"Um.... Pip....."

"Yeah?"

"It's... uh.... really pretty out tonight......"

"Yeah...."

"I... um...... Thank you for taking me out Pip..... I mean... I never imagined I could ever date a colt like you...."

Pip seemed to shudder at that, but quickly regained himself. "Uh-huh....."

The door suddenly flew open, surprising the both of them. The purple maned mare smiled warmly at the two before walking back into the boutique.

"Well..... I gotta go...."

"Yeah..."

"In my house...."

"Yeah..."

"Um........." UGH WHY WASN'T THIS WORKING?!?!?! Rarity's dating solutions NEVER work!!! Sweetie turned to her date, looking him in the eye's. If talking doesn't do anything..... maybe something more extreme will count. Sweetie's face toned to red when she realized what she was gonna have to do. But, she stuck to her plan and slowly leaned forward, pursing her lips. Her eye's slowly closed as she inched closer, and closer to her destination. She could feel her lips touch his. At first the colt deniggned it, but then he deepend into the kiss. She could taste popcorn, the popcorn they had earlier. Sweetie Belle immdiantly pulled away, her face drowned in dark red. But, why did she pull away?
It wasn't like she didn't like the kiss. She LOVED it. So why was she so eager to pull away? Why did her heart sink instead of fluttering? Was it embarresment? Or was it something else.....?

"BYETHANKSFOREVERYTHINGHAVEANICENIGHT!!!!" Sweetie spat out before darting into the house and slamming the door.

What was that?

*Apple Bloom POV*

The world felt so cold...... Although it was yet another sunny day in Ponyville. Apple Bloom was sprawled out on her bed..... full of sorrow.....

She didn't deserve this..... she didn't deserve any of this........ Her life was perfectly fine before school started..... Why did it have to fall out of her reach?

It was like she was in a small white room. Nothing to grasp..... nothing to hold onto...... nothing at all......

She could hear her door creak open. She didn't turn to see who it was though..... she already knew....

"Apple Bloom......" Her sister muttered before shutting the door behind her. "You ok?"

~WHAT DO YOU THINK APPLEJACK? MY F***ING GRANDMA DIED!!!~

She really wanted to say that out loud...... but her lips didn't seem to move. She was frozen in time and place. It was a dead end....

"Apple Bloom? I know your sad but...... Granny died of old age....... Sure she had a heart attack but..... It was only because she was gettin' old..... She lived a good life! She wouldn't want us to mourn over her..... but celebrate her existence!" Applejack tried to comfort the filly...... but she still didn't reply.

"Hello? Please answer me......" Applejack mumbled. Apple Bloom still didn't respond. She just stared out the window at the color out in the world..... But yet her life was dark and cruel.

"Apple Bloom! ANSWER ME CELESTIA DARN IT!!!!" Applejack yelled at her. Apple Bloom shot up and out of her bed, staring face to face with her sister.

"APPLEJACK SHUT THE F*** UP!!! YOU HAVE NO F***ING IDEA WHAT HELL I'M GOING THROUGH!!!!! I'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND SCHOOL EVERYDAY TRYING TO GET OVER EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE!!!! MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS A LIVING NIGHTMARE!!!! MY CRUSH NEVER SPEAKS TO ME NOWADAYS!!!! ALL HE IS INTERESTED IN IS SWEETIE BELLE!!! THAT LITTLE B**** STOLE HIM FROM ME WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT!!!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH THAT IT HURTS!!! AND FRIDAY???? HE ASKED SWEETIE OUT!!!! AND WHEN I GOT HOME???? GRANNY F***ING QUIT ON US!!!! YOU HAVE NO F***ING IDEA APPLEJACK!!!!" Something inside her snapped..... she blew up, her eye's were bloodshot and her hair looked like it had NEVER been brushed! Apple Bloom's face suddenly softened. She broke down into shaking and tears. Applejack pulled her in close.

"Apple Bloom...... Ah' had no idea........ Ah'm so sorry!" The mare cried along with her sister, comforting the both of them. Melting, her world was melting. Like crayons left outside on a hot day. Like milk chocolate sitting in a pot on a stove. Like Apple Bloom's life. Melting all around her.

"Like Ah' said...... Ya' have NO idea what Ah'm going through right now......" Apple Bloom muttered in between sniffles.

The orange pony suddenly stood and turned away....... "Actually.... Ah' AM kinda goin' through the same stuff....."

"Wha....What?" Apple Blooms eye's widened as she stared at her sister.

Applejack smiled sweetly, still staring at the wood floor beneath her. She began to sing to herself, as if her thoughts were on another pony.

(This is a parody, not the exact lyrics. All rights go to John Legend. All of me.)

[Applejack only. No background music yet.]
What would Ah' do without yer' smart mouth?
Drawin' me in, an' ya kickin' me out
Ya've got mah' head spinnin', no kiddin', Ah' can't pin ya' down
[Applejack turns around to look at Apple Bloom]
What's goin' on in that wonderful mind
Ah'm on yer magical mystery ride
And Ah'm so dizzy, don' know what hit me, but Ah'll be alright

[Soft piano music starts. Applejack's eye's are teared up.]
Mah' head's under water
But Ah'm breathin' fine
Yer' crazy an' Ah'm out of mah' mind

[Applejack turns away, walking towards a window. She sits down and stares out at the blue sky.]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of ya'
Love yer' curves an' all yer' edges
All yer' perfect imperfections
Give yer' all to me
Ah'll give mah' all to ya'
Yer' mah' end an' mah' beginnin'
Even when Ah' lose Ah'm winnin'
'Cause Ah' give ya' all of me
And ya' give me none of ya', oh oh

[Apple Bloom. Piano music gets louder and faster. Applejack is still looking away. Apple Bloom looks up, her eye's glassy]
How many times do Ah' have to tell ya'
Even when yer' crying yer' beautiful too
The world is suddenly all around ya', Ah'm being pushed back, Ah'm feeling overdue
Yer' mah' downfall, yer mah' muse
Mah' worst distraction, mah' rhythm and blues
Ah' can't stop wanting, it's so haunting, in mah' love fer' ya'

[Apple Bloom walks closer to Applejack. Applejack looks at Apple Bloom, crying. Apple Bloom continues]
Mah' head's under water
But Ah'm breathing fine
Yer crazy an' Ah'm out of mah' mind

[Both sing together. Both are crying.]

'Cause all of me
Loves all of ya'
Love yer' curves an' all yer' edges
All yer' perfect imperfections
Give yer' all to me
Ah'll give mah' all to ya'
Yer' mah' end an' mah' beginnin'
Even when Ah' lose Ah'm winnin'
'Cause Ah' give ya' all of me
And ya' give me none of ya', oh oh

[Apple Bloom]
Give me all of ya'

[Applejack]
Why can't ya' enjoy me the way Ah' want ya to?

[Both]
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Piano music is normal beat now]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of ya'
Love yer' curves an' all yer' edges
All yer' perfect imperfections
Give yer' all to me
Ah'll give mah' all to ya'
Yer' mah' end an' mah' beginnin'
Even when Ah' lose Ah'm winnin'
'Cause Ah' give ya' all of me
And ya' give me none of ya', oh oh

Ah' give ya' all of me
An' ya' give me none of ya', oh oh

The two fall into each others arms, sobbing like mad. Although they both were vary sad, letting it all out comforted them surprisingly. Soon, they pulled away from their embrace, wiping away their tears. The two just sat there..... in silence. Very awkward.

"So..... Ya' like.... Pip?" Applejack asked, breaking the tension.

"W-What?!!? How did ya' know?" Apple Bloom screamed, blushing slightly.

"Oh come on!!! It's so obvious!!! Also..... you said he was dating Sweetie Belle...." Applejack chuckled to herself while her sister smiled sheepishly. They both laughed heartily and hugged once again, but this time it wasn't sad. Apple Bloom hadn't felt this happy in a while. Being able to talk to someone about it...... it was amazing! It was nearly all the comfort she needed.

Suddenly, Apple Bloom smirked and poked the older mare playfully in the ribs. "Sooooooo...... Who do ya' like?" She let out slowly, causing Applejack's face to fade into deep red.

The mare's eyes darted around the room. "Ah'...... DON'T LIKE NOPONY!!!" She screamed, huffing away from the filly. She plopped her rump a few feet away, as if she was embarresed to even LOOK at her younger sister.

Apple Bloom rolled her eye's. "Sis..... ya' know yer' not good at lying..... Ya' literary just sang an entire song about forbidden love..... Don't even TRY to lie!"

Applejack sighed in defeat. "Ok...... well..... Ah'll give ya' a hint........ he's not a pony..." She mumble, forcing her eye's to meet her sister's.

Apple Bloom gasped. "OHMYCELESTIAYOULIKEDISCORD?????" She screeched. Luckily there was no one else in the house.

"WHAT?!?!!? NO!!!! That's who Fl-..... Ah' mean....... No... Ah' DO NOT like Discord....." Applejack shouted.

Apple Bloom thought for a moment. It couldn't be a stranger...... Applejack wasn't like that! But..... who was a non-pony male that her sister closely knew, who apparently dated or liked another mare? It didn't take her long to figure out who Applejack was talking about. Her irises went to pinpoints as she stared at her sister. "No......"

"Yes...... Ah' know it's weird but Ah' can't help it! He's the sweetest guy ever!" Applejack sighed. "But all he does is give all his attention to Rarity..."

"I know that feeling......" Apple Bloom sighed along with her sister. "Thanks fer' cheerin' me up...." She said, changing the subject.

Applejack stood up and walked over to the doorway before winking at the filly. "No problem. Now clean yer'self up! Yer' friends probably miss ya'..."

Apple Bloom smiled weakly. "Ya'...... yer' probably right....." She replied, chuckling nervously.

At that Applejack trotted out of the room and Apple Bloom proceeded to find a hairbrush. The cruel, cold world was crawling back at her like spiders tip-toeing silently on the bare ground. Her happiness deflated out of her as would a balloon. As much comfort she could get, she still had to deal with the harshness of the world.

And the world can be pretty harsh.
