Out from the Everfree forest one late afternoon, walk out 7 tired ponies, covered in dirt and grime. It had been an absolutely long day and as they stumbled
there way out of the forest they all dropped to the ground dead tired on the outskirts on Ponyville. "Now y'all wanna tell use why in tar-nations ,Applebloom did you ever even consider running on through there!" An angry glare emitted not only from Applejack but from the other 5, containing a messy maned Rarity, sweaty Twilight, a shivering Fluttershy, a plum tired Pinkie pie and even more exhausted rainbow dash. "I-i umm...I'm sorry big sis. And I'm sorry guys." whimpered a defeated Applebloom. "with the farm's buisness goin as slow as it's been i thought i could help Big mac and ya'll buck apple trees. But i could'nt even do that right!" Applebloom lower her head in shame. Everyponies angry glares soon turned to that of empathy. "And sense i couldn't buck apples like the rest or ya'll i figured apples weren't ever gunna be my special talent. That i didn't belong in the apple family...so i ran away..." Applejack stood infront of the tearful little filly. "Aww shukes Sugar cube. i can't stay mad at you. trust me when i say it took me a long time to realize my special talent and i bet cha it wont be long for you now" She smiled. "Even if apples are not your special talent, doesn't mean you cant be with your family Applebloom." said Twilight. "Yeah! it dosent matter if you can't buck apples now!"Spoke a newly enthusiastic Rainbowdash. " It takes i little seed to plant a big apple tree" said Fluttershy softly. "Thanks you guys!" Sniffled Applebloom. "S-so you ain't sore at me for runnin away?" She sniffled again. "Of coarse not sugar cube." Applebloom let out i sigh of relief. "But Granny smith and Big mac on the other hand wont be to happy when you get back." Applebloom's face dropped in fear of the back breaking labor installed for her the next morning.
The girls soon started on there way back home eager to rest from today's hectic adventure. Rarity was especially ecstatic to get herself into the tub for a nice long scrub with bath beads and luxurious soaps, When an little yellow filly came running up besides her. "Rarity! hey!" Rarity stopped to see Applebloom reaching in her bag to pull out an ugly lump of a rock. "five minutes' echoed Applejack waiting up the road. "hear Rarity i want you to have this,i found it in the forest when ya'll found me in the grave yard, i know how you like minerals and such, so here." She handed to lump to Rarity."please accept this as a token of my apology."
"Oh umm..Thank you darling it's... wonderful." she forced a smile. " Applebloom then gave a big smile back and ran to catch up to her big sis. Rarity wanted to correct her terminology but she was far too tired.
Back at the Carousel Boutique. Rarity had just finished enjoying a long luxurious soak and was now in her favorite purple silk pajamas complete with curlers set in place. she had neatly unfolded the corner of her blankets and was ready to snuggle in when she noticed Applebloom's gift laying there on her night stand. She couldn't help but turn her nose away in disgust at its flaky brown texture that completely clashed with her room. But she knew throwing it out would only make her feel bad. "I mean,she was apologetic for the whole ordeal after all." She thought. "maybe i could use this in...oh my?" She struggled to think of a use for it. "Oh!" huffed Rarity. This was work for tomorrow. Levitating it with her magic she went to put it away when a clump of it fell to the floor causing Rarity to slip. "Oh of all the rotten th-!" Rarity's sleepy eyes grew wide at the sight of a dark sapphire gem that shown through the missing clump. The gem seemed to glimmer and shine all on its own. An idea then grew in her head. an idea that would change everything...
