"Sigh" ' why, why couldn't she just gone ta twi' Thought a.j as she walked in the makeshift fort closing the door behind her turning around filly in mouth she looks to her unconscious sister as she thinks 'Why of all the dammed things did it have ta be this?!' Walking over and setting the stiff malleable filly next to her sister watching as sweatie fell over but didn't show any sings of movement.

"Applebloom?" Asked a.j nearly crying not sure if she should just let them rest as she looks at sweatie wondering what was going through the frozen fillies mind.

'oh any moma heyberger hungry chosen me day n mm mm mm drug by bye!?!... My my my may I MySISTERGAVEBURTHTOME!!!!!..maple gut'. Tried sweatie finally contemplating what had happened as her chaotic thought train took off again.

'Cornsarnet rarity! This is all yer fault!... An mine, why?' Thought an irate a.j as tears started to fall. Sniffle aahah sob snisffle "why?" Said a.j as she cries to herself.

"Rarity,rarity. Rarity!?" Said rainbow trying to get her mind numb friend to keep talking failing as the mare stared through her rambling on about random things as far off as food from fabrics.

"A.j's right their both broken uhg why me?!" Said dash preparing to high tail it if it went south.

"Oh sweatie diner Its your favorite chary carpet stew with a side of- slaap..." Rambles rarity before she's slapped across the face.

"Uh she didn't even, oh crap!" Started R.D before rarity started to make a strange sound it started as a murmmer but grew in volume.

"Nnnmnmmnmnmnmmnrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaggh!!!!!!!" Let out rarity before chasing a fleeing Pegasus.

"Whaaah, help!!" Shouted dash as she took off running before taking to the air.

---

'At least they look peaceful sigh' thought a.j before hearing a familiar pony cry out.

"Ugh what now?!" Groaned a.j as she made her way out.

"What n Tarnation's going on!!?" Exclaimed a.j as she watched a rainbow blur dragging an inraged unicorn behind as the mare jet skied around the room.

"Rrgh that's it" said a.j as she grabbed her rope n lasso.

'Bad idea bad idea' thought R.D as she dragged rarity around the mare's jaw clinched shut on the rainbow appendage making a final lap before finding herself lassoed to the mare.

"What in th' blue fu** s wrong with you two!" Fumed a.j as she binded the two together.

"Uh she-" started the two before their cut short.

"Ah don't CARE just look at yerselves!" Exclaimed a.j as her friends look down in shame; but before she could scold any further she hears her sister. "Now look whatcha gone n done" said a.j as an idea grabbed her attention.

"Hey?!" Complained R.D as an apple is stuffed in her mouth. "Mmm nmn sigh" tried r.d albeit ignored as a.j walked away grabbed her saddlebages and interred the fort.

---

"A.J?, A.J?! Ah can't see,ahh" called applebloom confused, gasping as she's brought into a sudden but welcome embrace.

"Shh it's OK" soothed a.j as her sister stayed limp before returning the embrace.

"Sis ah ah.ca.ah..see sweatie?" Uttered applebloom scared and confused as she begins to remember things as her sister holds her.

"In a minute can ya close yer eyes fur a sec?" Asked a.j assuringly getting an almost in addable murmmer in reply.

"Ya promise ta keep em closed?" Said a.j asking for confirmation.

"Mm hmm"

"Good now keep em closed" repeated a.j as she began untying the blindfold.

"Uhmmn" mumbled applebloom confused as her sister removed the blindfold wondering if it was OK to look yet.

"Not yet" said a.j sweetly as she tossed the blindfold aside and replaced it.

"A.J?" Asked applebloom wondering what her sister was doing as she felt her mane being redone.

"Yer fine......OK don't take it off but ya can look" said a.j as she put her sisters mane in a bun and tied the black bandanna around it holding it in place.

"Ah..?" Questioned applebloom confused.

"Their modified welder's goggles" explained A.J as she sees her sisters confusion.

"But th... Council??" Began applebloom confused whether or not to open her eyes.

"Oh sager its OK please, sweatie's sleeping right next ta ya" soothed a.j the latter getting her sister's attention.

"Re.really? Whah sis ah can barely see.." Said applebloom confused as she's only able see a few feet infront of her the rest becoming near outlines as she looks around. "Oh swea!?..What's wrong with her eye's?" Said bloom excitement turning to worry as she looks closer at her friend nuzzling her. "Sis?!" Questions bloom as she began sniffling.

"Sigh its called dead shock, she's in there aware of everything but just not 'here' here" sighed a.j explaining the reason for sweatie's motionless verbally unresponsive absentminded state.

"Whah? She..ah...?" Tried bloom not understanding.

"Sigh its like th's she's aware yet absent" continued a.j as moved to demonstrate what she meant.

"Ah...?" Tried bloom trailing off, watching as her sister picked up sweatie by her scruff and sees sweatie move into a fetal position. 'She...she's..?' Thought applebloom trying to comprehend what her sister was portraying.

''Oh sweatie come on ya can't be this far gone' thought a.j as she moved the ponykin like fillies legs into a standing position.

"Swea, sweatie?" Murmmered bloom watching as her sister manually moved sweatie's limbs before setting her down. 'She's not..?...'there' there?' She thought as she watched her friend stand motionless eyes forward and pupils small tiny dots against purl white socceres.

---

"When do you think she'll be back?" Asked R.D turning as far as the rope's would allow. Hearing no respons. As she listened to the subtle sniffling of her friend behind her.

'I..I..I just... Then I...what's wrong with me! I just then... I was just licking...then I..a.j feed my...to..she. Didn't..respond or real or fight i mysister.... I BROKE MY LITTLE Sister!!' Ng mmn ng ah sob mmn ahng ahah" thought rarity sobbing as her mind slowed down enough for things to start registering.

'Wait squirt what if sh.. but she asked me to she's aware of...isn't she?' Thought dash worriedly as she registers what she might be putting her adoptive sister through in the next few hours.

"Sweatie? Come on sweatie please ah can't do this alone please?" Tried applebloom hugging her friend as she lyes limp in her embrace as tears fell and soaked sweatie's fur. "A.j whada ah do?" She asks looking at her sister for guidance.

"Ah don't rightly know besides being there talking and comforting her, try reminding her of the good the happy moments ah guess?" Answered a.j not sure if she'd be much help as she watched her sister trying ta resist the urge to hurt rarity.

"....."

" hey sweatie ya remember when we tried getting are cutie marks in mimeing but we couldn't keep quite enough?" Started applebloom recaling the funny things "Or when we had are fist sleep over?" Recaling the joy.'Sniffle ah really miss that" said bloom as she lays down guiding sweatie to do the same sniffling as she does.

"And remember the time the three of you tried getting yer marks as pie chief's ah swear you three looked like ya went through the dough mixer yerselves" adds a.j with a light chuckle as she lied down next to sweatie her long foreleg bringing both fillies closer.

"Yeah that was ridiculous" said applebloom a small giggle escaping as she remembered the incident.

"Remember the fist time ah took ya and scoots ta zecora's an got lost but you found the right path again I was just bout ta give up but you said we'd find it an ya were right. Sweatie yer a lot stronger then ya give yerself credit fur" continued applebloom as a few tears fell sinking into sweatie's mane.

"I..she my fed ... ....I..no she did ...do my my!.. A..Apple a.b? Oh apleblomim sorry its all my faultyou don't deserve this I'm dumbbell an idiot am so sorry a.b mmn." Thought sweatie as her mind began to settle allowing her a straight thought.

"Ya remember when ya'll had yer fist sleep over in the clubhouse an ya cought me taking a pickture of the three of ya curled up in a ball as tight as ya could make yerselfs?" Said a.j noticing sweatie's ear twiitch twice but continuing as her sister giggles.

'How coud I forget she houldn't stop tailking about it tell you nave her the photo or at leat a copy....an.. why can't I move I can't even feel...anything at least I deserve it and I don't want to either' thought sweatie as her mind began settling as she felt something wet hit her eye and blinked. 'Iiii..I.didn't I'm sorry ng' she though as sh felt her muzzle twitching.

"yeah and scootaloo freaked out and tried getting the camera" laughed applebloom warm tears running down her cheek and into sweatie's eye followed be a short blinking as another ear twitched.

'I.I... Yeah that was funny ii can.can you forgive me? I'm sorry I didn't know what it was' nmmmng nnm" thought sweatie as she feels her nose begin burning.

"Yeah an...sniffling..." Began applebloom a light wimpering couseing her to lose the thought as a new one takes its place. "Sweatie please its OK now please don't stay in there ah miss ya, yer singing calming voice ya remember when ah fist caught ya mid song ah swear sweatie you can jump twice as high as me" continued bloom as her friends ear twitches.

'I..im crying? Why am i.. She's huggi...holding me ...? My throat hurts and my tumy burn's ugh my head pon pounding my eyes burns oh my everything?! Em I crying?' Thought sweatie as her mind swims.

"Come on sweatie please, once a crusader always a crusader, ah ah love you sweatie please yer my best friend, ya stood up fur me an ah got yer back please when ya ready ahm here, ah'll always be here fur ya nmm mm ah when yer ready" said applebloom encouragingly watching as her friends ear twitched thrice. "Ah love ya" finished applebloom tiredly as she nezzled up to sweatie holding her, hoping her company offered enough solace.

"Ah know ahm probably not a voice ya wonna hear but ahm here fur ya, keep my sis company ah gotta go see if scootaloo's ready yet" said a.j softly in sweatie's ear before hugging them both and leaving to check on two tied up mare's.
