“… I’m sorry Applebloom... I didn’t mean to bring you into this...”

“… hihi you know, you remind me of somepony... somepony who's very important to me...”

“… there was no other way...”

“… I should have protected her...”

“… follow me Applebloom... follow me...”

“… don’t be afraid...”

“… Ruby...”

“Ruby wait! What will happen to you and your mother now?”

“We're finally free now... thanks to you, dear Applebloom.”

“But ah didn't do a thing!”

“You did more than you could ever imagine... thank you so much!

Now, it's time for you to go home... farewell Applebloom~

See you later... friend.”

“Ruby.... Huh? N- no, NO! The zombie ponies are comin' back! Ruby, where are ya?
RUBY? NO! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! STAY AWAY! HEEEELP APPLEJAAAACK! TWIIIILIIIIGHT!”
“Applebloom!” Ah ran upstairs, headin' to Appleblooms room as fast as ah could. Her room wasn't far away from mine, at the end of the second floor of our house. Ah could hear her screamin' and cryin', louder and louder while ah was gettin' closer. Ah lowered mah head and rushed against the door which opened immediately. The room was dark, only the dim light of the corridor
illuminated a piece of her room. Ah noticed a big shiverin' enhancement under the blanket, silent whinin' and stutterin' words were wanderin' through the room.
“Applebloom!” Ah hit the light switch and went directly beside her bed.
“Applebloom, hey sugarcube!” Ah bit in the blanket and threw it on the ground, then ah saw her. Mah little sister, hunched up to a little yellow fur ball, still shiverin' and cryin'. Poor little thing, it shattered mah heart seein' her like that.
“Hey sugarcube, everythin' is alright now, your big sister's here to protect ya.” She looked up
with her big wet orange eyes. Big tears were rollin' down her cheeks, soakin' her yellow fur and white bed sheet. Slowly she began to speak.
“A-Applejack? APPLEJAAACK!” She jumped up and hugged me tightly, pressin' her sad face
onto mah chest. Ah answered with a tight hug too, tryin' to stop her from further cryin'.
Ah gently stroke with mah hoof through her mane. After a while, ah could feel her smilin' on
mah chest, she stopped shiverin', but continued whinin'.
“S-Sis! Ahm so glad to see ya! Please don't let 'em get me, please!”
“Don't worry sugarcube, no one will harm mah little sister as long as ahm around!”
“P- promised?” She hesitantly asked.
“Promised!” She began to hug me even tighter.
“Thanks. ... uhm, sis?”
“Wuzzup sugarcube?” She looked back up into mah face, her big orange eyes growin' bigger.
“Can you... stay here tonight... with me?” Oh Applebloom, how could ah ever deny that?
“Sure, but ya have to promise me that you'll kick those nightmares in their butt if they're comin' back, okay?”
“Promised! With you nearby, ah can take everythin'!”
“That’s mah little sister!” Ah tousled through her mane while both of us began to laugh.
“Well okay then, let's get some sleep, shall we?” Ah pushed the switch again and turned out
the light.
“KYA!” Applebloom screamed as soon as it got dark in her room.
“Don't ya worry sugarcube, ahm here with ya. Remember your promise?”
“Y- yes, uhm no...” Ah went back to Applebloom and poked her nose with mine.
“Don't be afraid, ahm with ya no matter what happens!” She shed a single tear and slowly nodded,
then she laid herself down on her back again. Ah took the blanket and threw it back on the bed, coverin' Applebloom with it's soft and warm wool, then ah laid mahself right next to her.
“Isn't it to cold without the blanket?” Applebloom whispered.
“Don't worry ahm okay, a little breeze won't kill this earth pony that easily!” Ah warmly smiled.
“Oh, okay...” Applebloom cuddled herself deep into her blanket. After a short moment of silence she started
whisperin' again.
“Uhm, sis?”
“What's up?”
“Can you, well... can you please sing that song again, for me?”
“Huh? Song? Do ya mean.... Sure sugarcube.” Applebloom loved music, it wasn't her most favourite hobby, but it still was somethin' she liked to do in her freetime. She normally liked
almost every possible kind of music, but there was one single song in whole Equestria that she
would probably never ever forget. It was called: „Little Sister“.
When Applebloom was just a little baby filly she always played the brave and tough one, but at night she always became very very timid. She was always afraid of the dark, so she used to come to me at night to cuddle with her big sister. Ah asked a certain pony here in Ponyville, if she could write a song for me and mah little Applebloom. Every time she heard that song she became braver and stronger, no matter how frightened she was.
That was a long time ago... oh Applebloom, what happened to ya? She brightly smiled at me, still waitin' for our song to start. Ah wanted to grant her wish, it was all ah could do for now to help her. Ah went closer to Applebloom, puttin' mah arms around her... then ah took a deep breath
and began to sing.

From the mornin',
To the evenin',
To the late late night.
From a seed,
To a apple,
To a apple pie.
From a baby,
To a filly,
To a sisters pride,
You will always be mine.

Little sister~ can't you see?
Things are not as bad as they seems.
Little sister~ don't be afraid,
Being on your side all the time,
Ah'll let our hearts rise and shine.
Little sister,
Can you hear me?
Little sister,
Please don't cry.
Little sister,
hear me whisper,
Ah'll protect you forever.

From the light,
To the night.
From the dusk,
To the dawn.
Ah hear you,
Ahm with you,
Mah little sister,
So don't fear,
'Cause ah am here.
Together we will fight,
The victory is on our side.

And if it's dark and you're alone,
remember me and our song,
Cause this is true,
Applebloom,
mah sister,
Ah love you~

Soon she fell asleep, slowly breathin' and still smilin'. She looked so cute....
“What happened to ya little sister?” Ah lay mah head down on the pillow, pressin' mah sweet little Applebloom tightly against me, cuddlin' and softly pettin' her mane.
“Ah love you Applebloom, ah always will.” Ah gave her a last kiss on her forehead, then ah closed mah eyes and followed her into the world of dreams, protectin' her from everythin' that would try
to harm her.
“Sweet dreams, Applebloom.”
