Magic: the Gathering, Friendship is Magic -I think?-
Chapter 7: Chapter 7: A meal with a brat and a train of secrets.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Alright this goes here and that goes there and whatever this is goes on here.” I placed some wires chips down on the circuit board with some tweezers carefully and slowly. I didn’t want to screw this up and I only had one chance to do this, which made me nervous as hell.
Moonlight was holding an orb of light over my head and holding a tray of parts beside me. She watch me worked on my project for almost an hour and at this point she was getting frustrated.
“Jace how much longer until your done? I have plans today and I really don’t want to be late for them.” I smiled a bit at what she said. She made this too easy sometimes.
“Plans you say, don’t you mean your date with Dash?” I asked her with a chuckle. I moved the circuit board to the case and notice that the light orb dimmed a bit.
“Jace, what did we agree about this. We don’t want to re-due what happen last time.” I felt a shiver ran up my spine. Sure I was more powerful in magic then her but there are time when she can be downright terrifying. I chuckled nervously a bit.
“H-hey I was joking alright, now can you please turn the light up I need to check that I have everything in order.” I could feel her grin at me when the light went back to normal. I check the board in the case and saw that everything is in order. I put all the rest of the pieces together and after a few minutes all that was left was the device and the back cover. I took a deep breath and looked over to Moonlight and saw that her face was much bigger than before. She laughed at me as I pulled the goggles off.
“Alright, everything is in place now hand me the box please.” Moonlight grabbed the box and handed it to me. I place it on the table and opened the lid which held a crystal about inched big.
“What’s that?” She asked. I looked at her and smiled.
“This my young student, is something called a Mana crystal.” I pick the crystal up to let the light shine on it. It change colours as I moved it around. “Crystals like this can hold mana and can be used for any spell you want. It can only hold one mana at a time and for what I want it for that all I need.”
I placed the crystal down in the device and put the back cover on it. I made a hole that shows the crystal. I poured some red mana into the crystal and watched it go from clear looking to red. I took a deep breath and turn it to see a blank screen.
“Now for the moment of truth.” I moved my finger to a button and push it down and waited for a few seconds until the screen came to life and sound came out of it.

I shot and raised my arms into the air. Moonlight jumped back when I did that.
“IT WORKS!!!” I did a happy dance as Moonlight looked at me as if I was an idiot, to which I didn’t care.
“Ummm are you ok?” I turn to her with the biggest grin I could make /
“Oh I more than ok, I’m the most happiest man in the world right now.” I looked back to the device and went through it to make sure that everything was in order.
“Okay then so can I asked what is it?” I put the device in my pocket and looked at Moonlight.
“Oh it’s something called a cell phone, I use to use it for stuff but it died some time ago and I didn’t know of a way to charge it so I thought that a mana crystal could be used like a battery. Truth be told I thought the thing would blow up in my face.” I laugh at the face she made. She was going to say something but a knock came from the door.
“Huh I wonder who would that be?” I went to answer the door. On the other side was a pegasus mare with gray fur, yellow mane and yellow eyes. She looked at me with one of her eyes as the other was looking somewhere else. She was wearing what looked like a mail carrier's uniform.
“Hello there! I hope I’m not interrupting anything, I got some mail for you but I couldn't find a mailbox or a mailslot anywhere.” As she said that she opened her bag and looked through it. She frowned and moved the letters around some more. “Oh come on I know it’s in here, I just saw it a minute ago to see if I was at the right house. Ah! here it is.”
She pulled a letter out of her bag and handed it to me.
“Thank you miss.” I took the letter from her and looked at it. It was from Pinkie.
“Oh it’s no problem, the name is Ditzy Doo by the way, but everypony calls me either Durpy or Muffin sometimes.” She smiled at me and I smiled back. I don’t know why but her smile is infectious.
“Well then Ditzy it’s nice to meet you, my name is Jace Beleren.” She blinked a bit and looked at me.
“Jace Beleren? As in the guy everypony is mad about?” I frowned a bit. I looked behind her to see if anyone was with her.
“Yes that’s me, you have a problem with that?”
“Oh no I don’t think so, you see I deliver mail to everyone in town but you knew that. So I hear things and you don’t look like a mean monster they keep on saying.” I snorted when I heard that, so some of the town folk still don’t like me huh.
“And what are your thoughts of me then?” She blinked at me and grins a bit.
“Well I think your a nice guy, and you didn’t hex me or turn me into a toad.” I gave her a deadpan look and she blinked at me. “Or was that someone else?”
She pulled a pocket watch and gasped at what time it was. “Oh my, I’m behind with my delivers! I’m sorry to leave but I have a job to do.” She turns and started to fly off. She turn and waved at me and disappeared behind some clouds. I chuckled a bit and turn to close the door. Moonlight was sitting at the table with a mana orb floating between her hands. I showed her that trick when she was bored one day, it was a simple spell and looked pretty as well.
“So what did you get?” She asked as the orb disappeared and looked at me. I looked at the letter and began to open it.
“It’s a letter from Pinkie.” I said as I opened the envelope and pulled the card out. I opened the card and a blast of confetti came out that surprised me. I shook my head at it and read the card.
“It looks like there’s going to be a party for the group of guards that are coming from Canterlot in a week and we are invited.” I looked at Moonlight and she was smiling.
“Well that’s nice of her but I don’t think the rest of the town folks aren't going to be happy about that.” She shifted a bit and I frown at her.
“Hey what did I say about what the town folks think or say.” She blinked at me and gave me a cocky smile.
“Don’t give a flying fuck about them and live life how you want it.” I started to laugh at her when she said that.
“Yup! There’s the student I know of. Now then,” I tossed the card on the table and turn to the door. “Since you're going out soon I think we should have lunch at Sugarcube corner.”
“Why you alway go there all the time? There’s are two other restaurants in town.” She said as she grabbed her coat that Rarity made for her. It was a dark blue windbreaker with her cutie mark on the right shoulder, which has now a bright blue star.
“Well Sugarcube corner has a better atmosphere than the other two and the Cakes won’t over charge me for a sandwich.” I grumble at the thought of it. “42 bits for one.”
I grabbed a black trenchcoat and put it on. I grabbed a wide brim hat and put it on as well. I walked back to the door to see Moonlight raised an eyebrow at me.
“What’s with you and trenchcoats?” I gave her a shocked look and pulled the coat closer.
“What’s wrong with it, I look badass in it.” I said as I turn to the door.
“Damn straight!”
I stopped at the door and looked up to the roof. I stared at the ceiling for a bit and turn to Moonlight to see her staring at me wide eyed.
“Umm what was that?” I blinked at her and looked at the door.
“I have no idea, best not think about it.” I opened the door and walked out.
It took us about fifteen minutes to reach Sugarcube corner with not a lot of stares and murmurs. I ignore them and opened the door for Moonlight and walked into the place. It was a packed place with people sitting, eating and talking. I saw some of them look at us and about two of them frowned at us but at least they didn’t leave the place. I saw Mr. Cake waving at us and told us to sit anyway that’s open. We walk over to a booth that for some reason no one was sitting at. As we sit I saw a plaque that was made in gold that had the name ‘Diamond tiara’ on it.
“Isn’t that vandalism?” Moonlight asked as I frowned at it. I snapped my fingers and the plaque turn into golden butterflies and flew out of the place. I heard some ‘Ooos’ and ‘Ahhhs’ coming from some booths.
“Well it’s gone now and there’s some gold butterflies for the Ponyville's bug watcher club.” I chuckle a bit and saw that Pinkie come over to take our order and asked if I got the letter. When I said I did she jumped up and hugged me. After taking our order she said that it would take some time to make since it’s busy today.
As we are waited I saw a face looking at us a couple booths down. She has a red mane with a pink bow tied in it. I also saw a mare with a dark pink mane and orange fur and some wings. I can’t see but I can guess that there was a unicorn filly with white fur and pink and purple mane with them.
“Looks like we got some fillies looking at us, don’t look I got a funny idea.” Moonlight looked at me and nodded. I narrowed my eyes at used a little blue man and started to talk.
“You know it’s rude to stare at people.”
Applebloom PoV
I looked back and saw the man that everypony calls a monster and stared at him.
“Applebloom don’t look at him! What if he tries to steal your soul with his eyes!” I looked back and saw Sweetie Belle looked panicked and lower herself down in her seat. Scootaloo just frowns at her and cross her arms.
“Come on Sweetie I was told that he wasn’t a scary guy from Rainbow.” Sweetie looked at Scootaloo and frowns.
“Are you sure, I saw her walking one day and when he walked past she looked scared.” Scootaloo stared at her and scrunched her nose.
“She wasn’t scared! She’s too awesome to be sacred at anything.” I sighed at them and looked at both at them.
“Look ah don’t know if he’s scary or not but AJ said it’s rude to judge people or ponies by how they look and sure he scared the whole town when he first came here and other stuff but he didn’t hurt anypony.” I looked back at him and turn to look at Scootaloo. “Besides I don’t think he saw me.”
“You know it’s rude to stare at people.” Said a voice from nowhere. We all jumped and Sweetie screams a bit. Some of the others looked over to us and I gave them a sheepish grin.
“Hehe, sorry.” We looked at each other before the voice talked again.
“How about you all come over so we can talk face to face.” I looked back and saw the man looking at me and he nods me over. I swallowed and looked back to my friends who both looks scared.
“Well what do we do now?” Scootaloo asked I looked over to Sweetie and she nervously shrugs.
“W-well we got to go over there. Maybe he’s nice.” I said as I began to move out of the booth.
“We’re dead.” I heard Sweetie Belle said behind me.
Jace PoV
“Did you have to do that? Can’t you just get up and walked over then to talk to them.” Moonlight asked me as I watched the three fillies got out of their booth and walk over to use.
“Well I got them to come over.” I saw her frown and look out of the window. I rolled my eyes and turn to see the CMC standing in front of our booth.
“Well now that you three are here I have to ask, why are you sneaking peeks at me over there.” I pointed at the booth they were in and saw them look down.
“We’re sorry mister I didn’t mean to it’s just,” Before she could finish the white fur unicorn raised her arms up and looked at me with a panicked look.
“Please sir we didn’t mean to upset you, please don’t take our souls!” I looked at her and blinked at her and stared at her for a few minutes.
“What?” Moonlight said before I burst out laughing. All four of them looked at me as well as the rest of the people in the place. I was laughing so hard that my sides started to hurt.
“Oh gods that rich, oh haha man I needed that.” I wiped a tear away and calmed down a bit and looked at them. Just for me to start laughing again.
“Ummm is he going to be ok?” Scootaloo asked. Moonlight looked at me and shook her head.
“I have no idea, I haven’t seen him laugh this hard then that one time with a giant turtle.” I calmed down a bit and wiped some tears away and looked at them.
“So what are we talking about? I forgot what it was.”
“Umm I was saying ‘don’t take our souls’ because we upset you.” I looked over to Sweetie and she ducked behind her friends. I snorted and grinned at them.
“Come on there’s no way to take someone's soul, it’s impossible.” Moonlight looked at me as I blinked at her. She frowens at me. “It’s impossible, right?”
I tilted my head and mentally went through a list of spells that had to do with souls. “Well there’s some spells that does affect the soul of someone so there’s possible be a spell that quote on quote ‘take someone's soul’. Something like that falls under black mana magic though.” I looked at Moonlight as she nodded her head to the three fillies and saw the look of fear. I frowned at them and crossed my arms.
“Hey don’t look at me like that, sure I may know the spells but I’m not going to use them not on you three. If I did I wouldn’t sleep at night.”
“He’s right!” I jumped as Pinkie appeared beside me. By the maker I hate when she does that.
“Jacey won’t do anything to you, he’s a nice guy.” She smiled at them as they calm down a bit. She moved out of the booth to go to the kitchen. I tapped her shoulder to get her attention.
“Hey did they order already?” She look at me and nodded. I looked at the CmC and smiled at them. “Well bring them to this booth and put it on my bill, I want to hear more of the famous Cutie Mark Crusaders.”
“We’re famous?!” Scootaloo said as she jumped and got into my face. Oh hi personal space you're getting invaded again.
I put my finger on her forehead and push her back. “In some places yes you're famous.”
I watched as the three of them look at each other and fistbump the air. I chuckled at the sight as the three of them when to the other side of the booth. Moonlight blinked over to my side and I frowned at her.
“You know that was lazy, you could of just of walked over normale.” She looked at me and shrugged.
“I could of but I don’t really give a f-” I cover her mouth and angrily stare at her.
Watch your mouth Moonlight, there’s children here and you’re in a public place.” She nodded and I moved my hand and turned at the CmC with a smile. “So what have you been up to today?”
“Well we’re trying to get our cutie marks today.” Sweetie Belle beamed at me and I chuckled at her.
“Well how’s that going for you three.” I watch Scootaloo frowned and crossed her arms.
“Like every time nothing happens.”
“But we’re trying! We have the list of what to do today.” Applebloom pulled a piece of paper and waved it in front of the other too. As she was doing that Pinkie came up with our meals. Moonlight eat a dandelion sandwich and a blueberry milkshake, the CmC shared a large sunday with so much whipped cream on it that it could be a hat. I just eat a chicken sandwich and a cup of coffee. Thank the Makers that there’s coffee here.
“W-why are you eating that?” Sweetie asked with a nervous look. I looked at her and swallowed what I had in my mouth.
“You all know that I’m something that’s called a human right? And humans are omnivores.” I saw them get wide eyed and waved my hand to them. “Don’t worry I don’t eat ponies, heck I would rather drink poison then eat a pony.”
Again they calmed down a bit. I looked outside and saw a group forming in front of a large cart and a blue mare with blueish silver mane and what looks like a wizard robe on. Odd I didn’t know there was a thing going on today? Wait, isn’t that Trixie? Ohhh so I’m in that episode now. Better leave this alone for know.
“So Mr.Jace what are you doing in the Everfree?” I turned to look at Sweetie Belle and blinked at her.
“Okay first off please don’t call me Mr.Jace, it sounds weird and second I live out there.”
“Really! But isn’t the Everfree dangerous? I smiled at Scoots.
“I can take care of myself I’m tougher than I look.” Before they could say another thing I heard the doorbell jingle and saw Sweetie looked over and turned back and groens.
“I was hoping we didn’t have to meet them here.” I leaned over and saw two fillies about the same age as the CmC. One of them was a light pink mare with a tiara on top of a white and violet mane. She was wearing what I could say rich kids clothing with a tiara on the right breast pocket. The other was a gray fur mare with a light gray mare. She was wearing a purple shirt and a pink skirt. she was also wearing a necklace spoon. I frowned and moved back to the booth.
“Man today was going so well.” Scootaloo complained. The other two nodded and I saw Sweetie knitted her eyebrows and stared at the end of the table.
“Why do I get the feeling that we should not be sitting here?” Before I could say anything the two that came in walked to where we are sitting and I saw the one with the tiara frowned at me. For some reason I know who she is I just can’t remember her name. As she got to the booth and glared daggers at the CmC.
“What are you three doing here?” She asked rudely. Yup she’s a A rank bitch alright.
“Come on Diamond tiara we’re here eating, could you leave us alone.” Ahhh her name is Diamond tiara, she’s the bully that picks on the CmC at school. Congrats Diamond you just upgraded to S rank bitch.
“I can see that but I gotta ask why you’re sitting in our booth.” I ignore her and want back to my sandwich. Moonlight put her’s down and glared at her.
“This isn’t your booth, I don’t see your name here.” Diamond snapped her head at Moonlight.
“Of course it is, it’s right here.” She pointed to the empted spot. She blinked at it with her mouth a jared.
“Wasn’t the plaque here yesterday?” The gray filly asked. I think her name is Silver spoon. Diamond glared at the CmC.
“You three blanks must of pryed it off didn’t you.” Scootaloo snorted at her.
“That thing is made out of solid gold, how would we pry it out.” Out of the corner I saw Moonlight look at me and I just shrugged.
“Of course you three can’t, you’re poor then rocks.” My left eye twitched a bit. I took a deep breath. Easy Jace, take deep breaths and go to your happy place.
“Come on, can’t you two leave us alone we didn’t so nothing to ya.” Applebloom spoke up, I looked at my drink and reached for it. Come to me my sweet.
“What every I can just get another one, I have loving parents that can get me whatever I want. Unlike you Applebloom.” My hand froze when I heard that and everything went silent. I heard Sweetie gasped and Scoots got angry. I looked back at the two brats and saw Diamond smirking and Silver stepping back a bit.
“Let me guess, your parents left you to rot in the middle of nowhere and the Apples took you in out of pity. That’s just sad.” Moonlight glance over to me nervously. I open and closed my hand as I glance over to Applebloom, she was speechless and looked like she was about to cry. I looked pasted the brat and saw no one looking this way other than Mr.Cake who had a frowning. I couldn’t believe that no one was doing anything and let this bitch do what she wants. That stops right now. I turn slowly to the two and Silver spoon saw me and went wide eyed.
“Hey you brat.” That got her attention. She looked and blinked at me.
“What did you call me.” I lean closer and lowered my voice.
“Hey. You. Brat is what I just said you brat.” She grinned her teeth at me and saw anger in her eyes.
“How dare you, do you know who I am.”
“No I don’t but I don’t care.” The first part was a lie but again I didn’t care.
“Well I’m Diamond tiara and I’m the daughter to Filthy Rich and you better apologize or I’ll tell my daddy.” I snorted at what that and pointed at my face.
“Do you see my face? It’s a face that I don’t give a flying fuck who your ‘daddy’ is.” I glared at her and out of the corner of my eye I saw the CmC were looking back and forth at me and the brat. Sure she has a name but I’m going to call her brat. She growled at me. Silver grabbed her arm and Diamond snapped her head to glare at her.
“Come on Diamond lets just get out of here it’s just a booth.”
“Silver it’s not just the booth.” She pointed at the CmC, “These three need to learn their place, they are low life bitches that-”
SLAP!
That got the attention of everyone in the place. I had my hand up as I just slapped the brat in the face. I didn’t care what everyone thought of me but there’s no way I’m allowing her calling them that. Diamond had both of her hands on her cheek and looked at me shocked.
“Y-you just slapped me, no one has ever slapped me not even my daddy.” Her shocked face turned into one of rage. “How DARE you slapped me, I’m going to make you life a living hell you, you Freak!” I grabbed the front of her shirt and lifted her up as she know dangling a few feet in the air as I stood up. My red gem flared as my eyes went from blue to crimson.
“Now listen here you brat and listen good, I don’t care if you make my life a living hell or send the guard after me but if I ever hear you say that to anyone ever again, I’ll make sure that you disappear from the face of this planet.” I saw her eyes widen.
“Y-you can’t do that, if you do the Princesses will hunt you down.” My vision went red and saw some fire come out of my hands.
“Try me” I growled, my voice went low and dark. She pailed and squirmed to get loose but my grip held. I felt something touch my shoulder, I looked and saw a blue aura hand there.
“J-Jace, calm down you're scaring everyone.” I heard Moonlight behind me. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. After a moment I open my eyes and saw that my vision was normal. I let the brat go and saw her ran out of the door, calling me a freak again and some other threats that I ignored. I turned to see everyone looking at me scared out of their minds. I saw Pinkie peeking out of the kitchen with a worried look. I took a deep breath and exhaled. As I did I saw smoke coming out of my nose, that’s new.
“What are you all going to do, huh!” I yelled at everypony in the building. They all jumped and went back to want they were doing before. I sighed and sat back down and looked at the CmC and saw Scoots and Sweetie staring at me. Applebloom was looking down at her bow that she seemed to take off. She stared at the bow sadly.
“I’m sorry Applebloom, I didn’t mean to do that I just kinda lost it there.” She shook her head and tied the bow back in her hair.
“It’s fine I’m use to it, it’s just that,” She sighed as Scootaloo put a hand on her shoulder. “It’s just I never meet my ma or pa when I was little, they died when I was young.”
“I see, well I’m sorry to hear that Applebloom.” Moonlight said softly and lower my eyes to the table and clenched my hands. Moonlight spoke up again. “Do- do you know when they died?”
“I don’t know the date, Applejack told me that they died when she was about sixteen years old.” I snapped my head to look at her as my brain got set to high gear. Sixteen? That can’t be right. Back at home I saw theories and other stuff about how they died. People said that they died when AJ was about seven or eight years old and went off to the city at the age of ten, even Applejack said that.
What Applebloom just said doesn't add up to what Aj said. I stormed for a bit for something until a minute passed and a question came to mind.
“Applebloom how old are you?” She looked at me and blinked.
“Ah’m twelve why do you ask?” I thought at what she just said. She’s twelve and Aj is about 28 years old so if that’s true. I inhaled quickly and stared at her. No it can’t be, it’s can’t be true but if it is. Just one thing to be sure.
“H-how did your mother die?” I know this is a touchy subject but this is something I need to know.
“She… she died when she gave birth to me.” I swallowed a bit. My head went into overdrive.
“Jace are you ok?” I heard Moonlight asked. Before could say anything a bright flash came out of nowhere. I blinked and saw a letter with a dragon symbol on it. I grabbed it and open the letter and read it. As I finished I put the letter in my pocket and got up.
“Sorry I have to go, have to meet some old friends.” I snapped my fingers and two small bags of bits appeared and I tossed one at Moonlight and the other at Applebloom.
“Moonlight that will cover lunch and then some and Applebloom that’s for you and your friends to buy the biggest sunday you can get.” I saw all three of their eyes went big with what I just said. I turn back to Moonlight. “I’ll be gone for most of the day so I’ll see you back at the cottage.” As I say that I turn and teleported back home.
After the teleporting back home I grabbed my stuff and walked back into town. As I walked I was thinking of what happened in Sugarcube corner. Mostly at what Applebloom said. As I was walking I bumped into someone and got knocked down.
“Ow hey watch it.” I looked at who bumped into me and saw that it was Applejack.
“Hey how about you watch, oh hey there Jace.” I got up and helped her up.
“Hey AJ sorry about that, I was thinking and wasn’t looking where I was going.” I gave her a small smile. She just shrugged and smile back.
“Naa it’s ok I’m use t’ it with Twilight, honestly it’s like she’s in a different world sometimes.” We laugh at that and I looked at her and saw some marks on her and I raised an eyebrow.
“Hey Aj why do you have marks on you? Are those rope burns, I didn’t know you were into that sort of thing.” As soon I heard what I just said I mentally facepalm, smooth me, way to be an ass.’
She frowned at me and huffed a bit. “It’s that Trixie lady that did this, ah think she used magic t’ tie me up with my lasso. I wish I could get my hands on her.”
“Woah there don’t need to get violent there, that’s my my stick.”
“ah'll say, by the way what’s with the stuff Jace? Going somewhere?” I looked at her for a moment and nodded.
“Yeah I’m going to go see some friends and see if I can pull some favors from them, I’m on my way to the train station now to catch a train to Canterlot.” As I said that the thought of Applebloom came to mind. Well this could be a good way to get some answers, or get me killed but I have to take the risk. “Say Applejack do you want to come? I wouldn't mind the company.”
“ah don’t know, how long do ya think it’s going to be.” I tilted my head and did some thinking.
“At the latest we will be back I think around late at night.” She nodded and thought about it for a bit.
“Well ah don’t have anything to do right now and Big mac and ah finished packing the cart up for tomorrow and it’s his turn so why not, I don’t mind the trip.” I nodded.
“Well I guess we should move on to the train station.” I started to walk pass her but she grabbed me by the arm.
“Now hold your horses there Jace, I got t’ go and tell Mac, granny, and my sis where I’m going.” I froze her at the ‘sis’ part. I opened my bag and pulled some paper and a pen.
“Here write a letter.” She looked at me and took the items.
“Ummm why.” I rolled my eyes at her.
“The train is coming in a bit and I don’t have time to walk all the way to Sweet apple acres and to the train station, so you write a letter on what’s going on and I’ll poof it over there.” She raised her eyebrow and nodded. After she wrote the letter and handed it to me and I use my magic to poof it over there. After that we both started to walk to the station.
“Say Jace if ya could of done that with the letter, why can’t ya just teleport over to Canterlot?” I grumble a bit.
“Because I don’t like to have a headache to day from it and you would puke all over the place if I did. Besides what’s wrong with a good old train ride.”
After we got our tickets we went on a train and sat down to enjoy the ride. At first the car we were in was full of other ponies but after a few stops the are was almost empty. AJ looked out of the window as I sat on the opposite side of her staring at her. I took a deep breath and looked around to make sure no one could listen in but I was paranoid so I cast a bubble around us.
“Hey Applejack got something to say to you.” She looked at me and blinked at me.
“Alright shoot.” I took another breath.
“I was at Sugarcube corner earlier today and I meet up with Applebloom.” She frowned at me and sighed.
“What did she do this time, I swear ah told her to not get into trouble.” She pinched her nose and closed her eyes. I just narrowed mine.
“No she didn’t do anything, she was with her friends and was spying on me, I caught them and talked to them. I even paid for their sunday to.” She smiled at me and I smiled back. After a minute my face went to a serious look.
“But then to kids came it and came up to the booth we were sitting at, the names are Diamond tiara and Silver Spoon if you're wondering.” As sound as I said the name's Applejack grones.
“Those two! Ah swear those two are devil spawn.” I looked at a few sets down to see a green unicorn mare reading a book that didn’t look up as Aj said that. Good the bubble is working now for the painful part.
“Yeah well there’s something else that you need to know.” I told her what happen. I never seen AJ went from normal to pissed off so quickly. She had rage in her eyes that she scare a terror beast.
“That little brat said said that to my sis. Why if ah was there and heard that ah would of strangle her.”
“Yeah well that’s not all, at the end she yelled at her friend and called the CmC low life bitches.” That did it. As soon as I said the last part I saw a fully pissed off AJ. She punched the seat beside her so hard that there was dent in the cushion. Note to self: Don’t royally piss off Aj, oh wait I might be going to.
“She said that to them, to my sister. Ah swear Jace when we get back there’s going to be hell to pay.” I lean over and put my hand on her shoulder.
“Easy there Apple, there’s no need to do that I already tooken care of it.” She looked at me for a bit and narrowed her eyes.
“What did ya do Jace.” I shrugged a bit and cross my arms.
“Oh you know, I slapped her in the face and threatened that if I hear her say anything like that to the CmC I’ll make her disappear.” AJ glared at me for a bit then nodded.
“Well it’s about time someone stood up t’ that brat.” I leaned back in my seat and looked at Applejack.
“There’s something else that happened after the two brats left.” Applejack looked back at me and I saw her calming down a bit. “As they left Applebloom said that she was used to it and talked about her parents a bit.”
I closed my eyes.
“Ah see, well Jace ah thank ya for telling me this. When we get home ah’ll go and talk to-”
“She said that her parents died when you were sixteen Applejack.” I interrupted her as I open my eyes. She froze and slowly looked at me and glared at me. I came this far better go all the way.
“At first I was confused at what she said and thought that she just mixed the ages up.” I stared at her to see anything to indicate anything to prove my thoughts.
“Th-that’s right she must of mixed them up, that’s all.” I narrowed my eyes at her.
“But I thought about it for a minute I asked her a few questions.” She narrowed her eye on to me and I could feel that I was getting too personal stuff.
“Jace, what are ya playing at?” I ignore her question and lean forward to read my chin on the back of my hands.
“I asked her how old she was and she said that she’s twelve.” I saw her clanch her jaw at the last part.
“I also asked her how her mother died and she said that she died when gave birth to her.” AJ gripped the armrest and glared at me with daggers.
“You better stop this Jace.” Sorry AJ I can’t this is something I can’t let go. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
“Applejack, I want you to be honest with me, is Applebloom your sister or… is she something, more than that.”
That did it. As soon as I open my eyes I saw Applejack grab me by the throat and pin me to my seat. I never seen her move this fast and pissed. Well not being this pissed I seen that five minutes ago. She was shaking with anger and was holding a fist up to punch me in the face.
“Why, why do you have to poke ya nose into everyone’s life Jace, I thought ya’re my friend.” I reached up to grab her arm that was pinning me to the seat and looked AJ in her eye.
“I am your friend Applejack, and as your friend I want to help you. So please tell me the truth.” After a minute of silence she let go of me and sat back down in the seat. I rubbed my hand on my throat and sat up a bit and looked back at her. All that anger and rage was gone, her eyes were dull and stared out into space. I gave her a minute before speaking.
“So, Applejack.” I reached over to grab her hand and lifted her head to look at me. “Is Applebloom,”
“... Yeah.” She closed her eyes and I saw tears come down.
“She’s my daughter.”
