After the two guards get their armor back on and hook themselves up to the chariot, they wait for Raven to set the chest and sack inside before taking off back toward Canterlot.

A half-hour passes by as they reach the halfway point between Roger's farm and the Castle when Tail Wind begins to sing, "Deck his balls with mares-a-plenty..."

Picking up where she left off, Storm Chaser sings, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Tail Wind then grins and continues singing, "Tis the season to be breeding."

With a smile on her face, she sings her part, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Raven groans as she hears them continue with making up perverse lyrics for the favorite holiday carol as the guard sings, "Don we now our nude apparel."

Not missing a beat in her flying or singing, Storm continues, "Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la."

She then keeps grinning like a fool as she then says, "Troll the ancient yule-tide carol."

She then sings her part, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Quickly thinking of the next verse, Tail sings, "Feel that blazing need within us."

Storm sings her part, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Raven fights against the urge to join in on the song as she hears the next line, "Pound my flank and breed me fully."

She sings, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Tail then comes up with the next line singing, "Follow me in birthing pleasure."

Raven snorts at hearing that as she hears Storm sing, "Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la."

She then comes up with the next one, singing, "While we dream of foaling greetings."

Storm falters a moment as she fights not to laugh singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Unable to keep quiet any longer, Raven joins in singing along, "Fast away the months all pa-ass."

Tail falters a half-beat as she starts giggling when she hears her marefriend continue without missing a beat, singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

She continues where she left off and sings the next part louder, "Hail the new foals, mares and stallions."

Storm then keeps grinning while singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."

Raven then sings the next line, "We'll be mothers, all together."

She sings the next line as they pass onto the castle grounds, "Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la."

Tail and Raven sing the last line together singing, "Heedless of the wind and weather!"

All together, they then sing, "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la." and promptly start laughing as the magic releases them from its synchronized singing spell.

Celestia and Luna sit in the throne room, anxiously waiting for Raven and the guards to return from Roger's farm when they see the doors suddenly open as Raven enters with the two guards accompanying her. Noticing something different about the way she walks, Celestia cocks her head and says, "Welcome back Raven, I was beginning to worry something has happened."

Raven blushes lightly as she sets down the chest and the sack, then bows to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna saying, "My apologies Your Majesties, things went smoothly for the most part. However, there was an...unexpected incident that led to the three of us becoming mothers next year."

Both princesses are shocked to hear that as a wide smile crosses Celestia's face when she begins to excitedly prance in place before rushing over and encompassing the three of them in a wing-hug saying, "Oh I am so happy to hear that you all are going to be mothers!" then her voice takes on a concerned tone as she asks, "Please tell me that the three of you left him alive..."

She turns redder as she nods saying, "Yes, your Highness, Roger was alive and well when we left his farm. He was walking a little funny, but so are we and those two guards can't fly right after what happened."

Celestia cocks an eyebrow and says, "We are both listening intently, please tell us every little detail."

Luna then asks, "We heard singing from the balcony as we changed the day to night, do explain what that was all about?"

Raven's face is beet red as she then says, "Very well, Your Majesties, I shall start the story and let those two add their parts when the time comes. The singing was a result of something that happened at the end of the story, so please make yourselves as comfortable as you can. After the three of us left the Castle grounds to go collect the payment due for the land and the donation for R&D that you are restructuring with his advice in mind..."

A couple of hours pass as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are lying on their sides in hysterics at hearing the song they came up with as Luna starts snort-laughing.

Hearing her sister's snorting causes her to laugh even harder as she gasps saying, "Luna, your...snort-laughing...like you used to!"

The lunar princess looks at her sister as tears stream from her eyes saying, "Your...one to...talk! You are lying...on your back kicking the air...with all four hooves...and breaking wind. Please regain some of your dignity!"

Celestia laughs even harder as she says, "I c-can't help it...that song...it's just...too wrongfully funny!"

Raven waits for the two princesses to recover from their laughter and recompose themselves as rulers of Equestria saying, "What is to be done as punishment for allowing ourselves to succumb to the season's effects, Your Highnesses?"

The solar princess smiles then looks at her assistant and the three guards, saying, "There will be no punishment necessary as I am simply overjoyed to hear that you all are getting the opportunity to finally enter motherhood. Raven, you are my best assistant, but what matters more to me is your happiness."

She smiles at hearing those words come from the princess's mouth and tears up saying happily, "Oh, thank you so much, Princess Celestia. I will begin to compile a list of assistants that can fill in for me if my pregnancy is confirmed."

Celestia then looks at the two guards and smiles saying, "I will talk to your squad captain to grant you two a couple days of rest, and I wish you good luck when you go to confirm your pregnancy in about two weeks." She then looks at her assistant and says, "Please get some rest Raven, I will have the guards outside take the payment and donation to their proper places."

Raven then bows to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, saying, "Thank you again, Your Highnesses, and goodnight to you both." then starts heading towards her room in the castle.

Celestia then looks to the doors and says, "Guards outside the throne room doors, come here please."

Two unicorn royal guards enter the room and salute Princess Celestia saying in a genderless voice, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

She then gestures to the chest and says, "Please take this chest and donation sack, then take them to the appropriate areas to be processed and return to your posts and relieve these two pegasi guards taking your positions temporarily. Under no circumstance are either one to be accompanied by fewer than two guards, am I clear?"

They both salute, saying, "Yes, Your Highness." and come forth to collect the items in question, then make their way out of the room to deliver them to the appropriate ponies.

Celestia then looks at the two pegasi guards with slightly limp wings and says, "As for you two, please stand guard outside the throne room until those two return and relieve you."

The two mares snap to attention and salute her saying, "Yes ma'am." and head out to take the other guards' places by the throne room doors.

She then looks at her sister saying with sad eyes saying, "Oh Lulu, I want to have a foal so bad now...but who would be suitable to take my place?"

Luna approaches her sister and holds her close with her wings and forehooves saying, "Fret not, sister. We will figure out something if you are determined to participate this season."

Celestia nuzzles into her sister's neck with a happy smile saying, "Oh thank you so much Lulu, I never thought that either of us would have the chance to become actual mothers. I can only hope we figure something out so that we can experience pregnancy together..."

She smiles and then pulls away from her sister saying, "It is nighttime Cece, so you better turn in for the night while I begin my patrol."

She then yawns and nods sleepily saying, "I will do that, dear sister, see you in my dreams or in the morning."

Luna watches her sister walk away saying, "Goodnight Cece." and heads up to the dais to start patrolling the dream realm.

After a delicious supper, Applejack and I clean the dishes and then put them away. As I look at her putting a cup away onto a higher shelf with some difficulty, I walk up behind her with my groin pressing into her back and run my right hand along her neck as I use my left to push the cup into its place.

Applejack turns her head to look up at Roger saying, "Thanks..." when she is interrupted by him kissing her on the lips. As she feels his tongue press between her lips, she opens her mouth to let him in. She enjoys how he starts massaging her ear with the fingers on his left hand while he runs his right hand along her neck, drawing a moan from her as she starts to get into the kiss.

I run my right hand down her side as I kiss her deeply, and start fondling her small teats which will fill with milk when she becomes pregnant and is far enough along. Using my left hand, I reach down to the backside of her and slip my thumb inside her moist entrance.

She pulls away moaning, "Nnnn...that feels so nice." as she then gasps when his thumb slips over a sensitive spot, causing her eyes to roll back and bites her lower lip in pleasure.

Removing my hand from massaging her teats, I then start undoing my belt buckle, followed by my pants as I slowly shimmy out of them and kick them aside. I crouch down and away from Applejack's rear to surprise her, using my free right hand to line myself up with my thumb.

Applejack wonders what his other hand is doing when she suddenly feels the pain of her hymen tearing as her back end is pushed up off the floor simultaneously and cries out, "HAWH!" Tears stream down her face as she winces while her hooves try to find something to stand on when she hears Roger whisper into her ear, "Just relax and calm down AJ, ah won't let ya fall."

My words get through to her as she slowly calms down and looks back to where we are joined, feeling the soft fur of her coat against my front as I take my left hand away from her entrance and undo the band holding her tail's ponytail together. As I hold her in the air with my rock-hard member, I lightly grab her lower jaw and pull her in for a deep and tender kiss as I grind myself deeper into her.

She feels him slowly work his way to her deepest part and press against her opening, taking her right front leg to hook it around his neck as the kiss becomes heated when she feels him grab onto her powerful flanks with his strong hands. When he draws back out of her, she feels him slam all the way into her and strike the back wall of her womb saying, "HAWH FUCK! BREED ME PARDNER! LAY CLAIM TO THIS APPLE'S BODY!"

I hear her moan loudly as she starts to kiss my neck while I pound away at her back wall, her womb keeps trying to drop down further, but I drive it right back up into her intestines. Seeing her ear in front of me, I take it into my mouth and start to play with it to give her more pleasure.

Applejack's body starts to shudder as her first orgasm rushes towards her, crying out, "OH FUCK!!"

---

Applebloom sits on a branch of one of the oak trees behind the house with a pair of binoculars, a grin is plastered on her face as she watches her sister's face point towards the ceiling, howling out in bliss while Roger's huge member can be seen through the long bulge running up her abdomen and almost reaching into her chest cavity. Her eyes go wide at how her sister can handle such a beast while he pounds away into her, eventually filling her sister with so much seed it causes her abdomen to swell up bigger than Pinkie Pie's was when Scootaloo was inside of her. She begins to drool at how big her sister is when she feels something dripping from her nose and uses her tongue to taste it, discovering that it is just blood, she pulls out a tissue and stuffs it into her nostril saying in a soft tone, "Stupid nosebleed...happens every time ah get too excited...if only Granny knew where that moon tea was..." and goes back to watching Roger breed her sister. Her other nostril start dripping when she sees Roger pick her sister up off the floor and holds her in the air above the sink by her back legs, causing her eyes to bug out of her head as she sees her sister's hooves up against the underside of her chest while she pushes his seed out of her. While Roger holds her sister, the two passionately make out, using their tongues generously. Taking the opportunity to stuff another tissue into her dripping nostril, she grumbles about the annoyance and resumes watching the pair.

After her sister's abdomen is back to normal Roger sets her back down and picks her up princess style, then disappears up a set of stairs. Wondering where they are heading, she spots a soft glow coming from one of the rooms but can't get a good view from her current location. Forced to climb down, she hops down from branch to branch until she's back on the ground and looks for a tree with a good view. When she climbs up high enough, she looks into the room where she saw the glow and sees her sister at the end of the bed, lying down as her hat hangs on the door while her forelegs are out in front of her and her back legs are folded underneath. Roger leans forward from behind her, slowly inserting his member into her as they kiss each other passionately for a few minutes.

The slow love-making continues as Applebloom starts to play with herself as Roger starts lightly choking Applejack, hearing her sister shout, "Do it harder! Ah can take it!" Watching as he squeezes her neck harder, making her eyes roll back into her head as Roger removes the band keeping her mane together with his left hand and grabs a handful of her mane. She starts to pant as Roger pulls on her sister's mane rather hard, causing Applejack's moans to turn into pleasurable screams.

She watches Roger pound her sister mercilessly as she drives herself toward her own orgasm when her sister screams, "Choke me like ah'm yer ex!" Applebloom watches in amazement as Roger's face contorts with anger and he grips her throat so hard, her face turns red as her tongue hangs out of her mouth while she croaks, "Almst thurr!" When Roger buries himself between Applejack's flanks, she watches her sister smile as her abdomen starts to swell up again.

---

As I climb onto the bed, I lay on my back and toss my shirt to the floor, and move my hands underneath my head while I watch Applejack head to the bathroom. Hearing the toilet flush a few moments later, I see Applejack trot back towards the bed with a wobble in her steps before hopping onto the bed.

Applejack steps over Roger's furless body as some residual semen seeps out of her and slowly slips down her right thigh, and positions her entrance right on the tip of his rod and then spears herself with it as hard as she can. She hears the springs squeak as she moves her front hooves onto the headboard saying, "Ah'm gonna ride ya like a cowpony Pardner, using all my strength."

I move a couple pillows behind my head as she starts to push herself up and down on my member hard enough to make the springs squeak, slowly picking up momentum which causes the bed to start rocking back and forth.

She goes even faster, letting the season take full control and allows herself to go wild, whipping her hair around to the other side of her neck as she feels his tip push her womb up into her stomach. She moans and calls out loudly, "YEAH, THAT'S IT! REARRANGE THIS MARE'S INSIDES DADDY!" and leans her head down to hungrily devour his mouth.

I swallow the saliva collecting in my mouth as I hear her do the same when she bites my lower lip, then sucks on it vigorously while the headboard bangs against the wall. Knowing she likes a bit of pain, I grab a handful of her mane in my right hand and wrap it around my wrist and pull down on it.

Applejack throws her head back as she slams her flanks back against Roger's hips and grinds him deeper into her, feeling him wrap her tail around his left forearm and pull hard on it hollering, "YEAH DADDY, POUND YER NAUGHTY MARE!"

I hear and feel the bed hammer against the wall as Applejack experiences countless orgasms in a row, soaking my sheets with her fluids as I feel myself climbing the peak to my own orgasm. While she attempts to grind my hips into powder with her flanks, I call out, "Ah'm close AJ!" and then bite her at the top of her withers hard.

She screams out as her body shudders violently when a very powerful orgasm wracks her body, accidentally causing her to spray a little urine over his groin, abdomen, and chest. Having trouble seeing clearly due to everything seeming to be too blurry to make out, she screams in desperation, "PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME DADDY! GIVE YER SLUTTY WHORSE OF A DAUGHTER YER SEED, PUMP YER FOAL INTO MEEEE!!" When she feels him begin unloading inside her, she opens her mouth to scream, but her throat closes shut as she goes cross-eyed from the immensely pleasurable sensation. Every nerve inside her is tingling and going haywire, prolonging her orgasm as her back legs rise into the air as her back arches upward, trying to get his member even deeper to ensure pregnancy.

I watch as her abdomen swells even larger than before when she uses a breath to pant out, "Haaahhh..." and then collapses on top of me breathing heavily. Concerned for her as her abdomen is forced out to the sides further do to her meaty flanks pressing down onto my body, I lightly take her lower jaw in my hands and lift it to look at her eyes asking, "Applejack, can ya hear me?"

Fucked into a deliriously blissful state, Applejack wiggles her head out of her father's hold with a blissful, happy sigh saying in a soft, happy tone, "Yes papa, ah hear ya just fine. Ah'm tired after our session, so let me sleep please." and then nuzzles her cheek into her father's chest.

As I hold her against me on the bed, my member begins to soften as I feel her muscles contract subconsciously and force me out of her. I lie on the bed wondering if my seed is going to come gushing out, I am interrupted by my balls as they feel like they are on fire and groan in pain.

After feeling for oozing semen while waiting for the pain to slowly ebb away, I sigh with slight relief and carefully make my way to the edge of the bed and stand up while maintaining my firm grip on Applejack's body, then head to the bathroom to let the excess semen pour out of her and into the toilet bowl.

Once I get her situated on the pot, I massage her lower lips while softly whispering to her ear, "Alright sweety, ya can let papa's seed out now, ya won't make a mess."

Applejack hears what her 'father' says and then takes a deep breath, then says, "O-kay...papa." Letting her body completely relax, she sighs pleasantly when her abdomen starts to feel much better saying with a happy smile, "There ya go papa..."

To reward her, I smile and say, "Good girl, now let's get some sleep." then kiss her lips lightly and flush the toilet a few times to ensure all the cum is out of her, taking some toilet paper and wiping her clean from front to back with a fresh portion of paper each wipe. Flushing the toilet after cleaning her up, I pick her up and carry her to the bed. As I lay her upon it and crawl in behind her, she snuggles into me with her back against my chest and wraps her tail around my right leg.

As Roger fills Applejack with his seed, Applebloom's body shudders as she grabs onto the tree to keep from falling off of it, she squeals through clenched teeth to keep the noise down. As her orgasm tips over the peak, she sprays the branches, leaves, and ground below her with her urine and fluids. When she is coherent enough, she returns to watching the scene when her sister's abdomen stops swelling. She starts to hear whining from below, slowly getting louder as she barely manages to hear her sister say in a tone filled with raging desire, "Ah want to rock yer world, lie down on the bed pardner!" Looking down at the ground, she sees a pair of eyes looking up at her. In the moonlight, she sees that the whining is coming from Roger's dog Applejack said was named Ol' Red, though she clearly didn't like talking about him. In the moonlight, she can tell that he is a black German Shepherd with intelligent, yellow eyes.

The whining gets louder, causing her to worry about her sister or Roger hearing it as she starts to head down to the ground to tell him to be quiet. As she reaches the ground, Applebloom makes her way over to Ol' Red saying softly, "What's wrong boy? Why're ya making such a racket out here?"

Ol' Red sits on the ground, continuing to whine softly as he waits for her to get closer.

Applebloom makes her way past a metal clothesline T-pole with only one thick wire running to the other one several feet away and says in a soft, inviting tone, "Come here boy, so I can pet ya and go back to what I was doing."

He sits there as she gets well within reach of his cable, letting her come to him so he can pounce while wagging his tail slowly.

She walks up to him and starts petting the large dog with her right hoof, saying, "There ya go boy, I'm sorry you are so lonely."

Ol' Red turns his head to hers and starts to happily lick her while standing up and wagging his tail happily, then raises his left paw and places it over her neck.

Applebloom giggles, oblivious to what is really going on and asks, "Ol' Red, what are ya doing, ya silly boy?" when her head is pushed down by the dog's chest. She looks around underneath of him when she feels something wet poke her ear, causing her to turn to see what it is when she suddenly tastes something wet, bitter, and salty in her mouth. She tries to pull away but she is held in place by Ol' Red gripping her tightly behind the shoulders.

Feeling his cock enter something wet and warm, he humps harder to get his member out fully as she moves under him. Having more room to thrust, he walks forward and widens his stance.

She feels his sheath push into her mouth after she tried to pull away from him, feeling a fluid occasionally shoot out the tip as she feels his cock push towards the back of her mouth. Wondering what to do, she tries to use her tongue to push it out of her mouth, thinking, 'I think ah know why Applejack don't like Ol' Red now...'

Ol' Red feels his knot slip out and tap against the sides of his mate's mouth, continuing to thrust away as his cock hardens. When he feels himself nearing his peak, he thrusts harder and more erratically.

Applebloom feels him slide over the back of her tongue as a hot liquid squirts out briefly and hits the back of her throat, but her eyes widen as Ol' Red forces the big knot past her teeth. Thinking this is over, she sighs through her nose when he starts to turn around and face away from her, making her think, 'Umm...what is he doing now...' and is taken by surprise by the massive spurt that hits the back of her throat and runs down her esophagus. Forced to swallow or risk drowning, she gulps down the hot, bitter, and salty cum as she hears the dog panting. Once the spurts slow down and stop, she feels the knot get softer in her mouth as Ol' Red pulls away, pulling her along until she digs in her front hooves.

He pulls harder to get himself free, eventually coming out with a loud pop. Wagging his tail happily as his cock swings limply underneath him, he turns around to look his mate in the face as his long tongue hangs out the side of his mouth.

She looks at him with a frown and says, "What are ya looking a..." when he comes up and licks the inside of her mouth. He then opens his jaws and uses his teeth to move her skin out of the way before grabbing her mouth by the teeth, shoving his tongue into her mouth and swirls it around. As she subconsciously becomes around, her tail starts to wave from side to side, spreading her scent around when she starts to pant in arousal by his affections.

Smelling a new, enticing scent in the air, Ol' Red uses his nose to find its source and releases her mouth. The smell quickly guides him to her rear and moves her tail aside before licking her entrance.

Applebloom squeaks out a startled, "EEP!" as she tries to get her rear away from his tongue. Backing away hastily, she trips herself over his chain. She tries to get back onto her hooves, raising her rear first by accident and feels him climb over top of her and start thrusting away. Her eyes shrink to pinpricks as she panics when his tip starts to lengthen and harden, rubbing her between her teats. Finding the sensation pleasurable as she tries to get away from him, she freezes in place with a wide stance when his member finds purchase inside her vagina's entrance. Her tail betrays her and moves out to the side in spite of her trying to force it down to hinder further progress, but it doesn't do her any good as he continues to find her entrance.

Finding her entrance really tight, his member begins to get even longer as he locks his front legs around her front shoulders. As he pants beside her head, he licks the side of her mouth affectionately.

When she feels a sudden tearing pain deep inside her, tears form in the corners of her eyes as she suddenly cries out in pain. Her cry is muffled, however, as Ol' Red uses the opportunity to continue licking inside her mouth as he thrusts deep inside.

After thrusting inside her tight confines for a few minutes, his knot starts to emerge from his sheath. When he feels it press against her entrance, he holds himself there and presses himself further against her. Eventually feeling it enter her with a pop, he starts to get off of her and turn around to fill her with his seed.

Applebloom feels him turn around after getting his knot into her and moans out softly, "Nooo...don't..." The moment something hot pours into her sends her over the edge into a powerful orgasm, causing her to spray him with her fluids and cries out in bliss as her body betrays her due to her missing her dose of moon tea. Unable to do anything but sob as the sensation slowly eats away at her because of her heat, she begins to eventually enjoy being filled with semen.

Once Ol' Red stops cumming inside her, he pulls his knot out of her and turns around, preparing to go again. He mounts his unwitting mate again and starts to hump her again.

She grunts numbly as he humps her again, staring at nothing in particular until a surprising presence in her ass snaps her out of it. She looks around with wide, pain-filled eyes and shouts, "THAT'S THE WRONG HOLE YA DAMN DOG!"

He ignores her and thrusts away into her, liking how she squeezes down on his member even more as his knot starts to come out once again.

Applebloom winces her eyes shut in pain as he starts thrusting even deeper in her, but screams out when he rams his knot fully into her rear. The sensation of being filled yet again sends her over the edge into another orgasm, causing her to squirt and spray him with her fluids once more.

---

Pulling the covers over us, I then whisper, "Goodnight, my little filly."

Giggling in her half-asleep state, she says, "Goodnight... Daddy."

Flutterbat is starving as she makes her way towards the front door of Roger's house, passing by a line of trees when something light-colored in the corner of her eye, catches her attention. When she stops and hovers in the air to look at it, she turns her head as she sees a small filly lying near Ol' Red's dog house.

Seeing her lying there, Fluttershy pushes to the front and takes over after telling Flutterbat she will let her find Roger after checking on the little filly. Trotting up to the little filly worriedly, she recognizes it as Applebloom and gasps in shock at the scene before her. She sees Roger's dog behind the filly facing away from her panting heavily as his knot is buried inside Applebloom's vaginal entrance, and Applebloom is staring ahead with deadened and dulled, unfocused eyes as she lies on the ground with her mane and tail in a messy state while her abdomen is swollen with Ol' Red's semen.

What she sees instantly enrages her as she looks at the dog with a scowl and yells, "YOU MISERABLE, WORTHLESS FLEABAG!"

Ol' Red yelps in fright and jerks away, seeing a small, very angry pony glaring at him. Instinctively folding his ears back in fear, he also tucks his tail underneath his legs and cowers to the ground while she slowly makes him back away with small steps.

Fluttershy's face turns orange in rage as she continues to yell at the dog for what it has done to one of her friend's sisters, bellowing, "HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH THINGS TO A YOUNG FILLY! YOU SHOULD FEEL ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO APPLEBLOOM." She continues to yell at the dog, driving him backward and into the trees slowly with each small step he takes and then finishes her tirade off with a glare at the dog saying in an authoritative tone, "Now stay in that tall grass, that is where you will be sleeping until I come back to deal with your atrocious behavior!" She then turns away with a huff and trots away angrily, picking up his water and food dishes and setting them beside the tall grass before heading over to Applebloom. When she lies near the filly's head, she gently nudges her saying, "Uhm...sweety? Oh dear Applebloom, can you hear me?"

---

---

Applebloom lies there motionless as she hears somepony talking to her and mumbles dumbly, "What do you want?"

She smiles at getting her to reply finally after trying different approaches over the past half-hour and says, "Oh, I just want to talk and help you is all. Is that okay with you?"

Her eyes brighten up ever-so-slightly as she sighs saying, "Are you sure that's ALL you want to do?"

Fluttershy nods and uses her wing to gently direct her gaze to her face and smiles affectionately saying, "Yes, I am quite sure I ONLY want to HELP you. I have noticed that you are not well, so why don't we go inside to safety where I can clean you up?"

Applebloom's eyes brighten up noticeably as life begins to return to them as she slowly recognizes who she is looking at, cocking her head in confusion as she tries to put a name to the face, asking, "F...F...F...Fl...Flu...Flutt...Flutter...shy?"

She then stands up and helps the little filly stand, then gives her a wing hug saying in a soothing tone, "There, there, little one...it's all over now. I have handled it, so let's go inside where you can let all your feelings out."

The little filly trembles and starts heading towards the house with Fluttershy saying, "O-Okay."
