Southern Apple smiled as she walked through the apple orchard, life was just fine here. She couldn't think of a better life, even when her friends were acting like brickheads, she thought. Well at least they were there for her and she was surely there for them. Anytime she was needed SA was there for her friends as fast as a wip. Nothing beat this life of hers and she'd never change it, not for all the apples and chocolate in the world. She smiled once more at the thought of chocolate. It was her favorite food, not even apples were as good as chocolate in her mind. It reminded her of her best friend Candy, that crazy OCD friends of her's was an only once in a life time friend, hm...maybe that's why she liked chocolate so much. It reminded her of her best friend, like when apples reminded her of home. They connected.
SA looked up at the sunny sky; guess Sonic and Blaze cleared it for her today. Those two were a mess, but they always had her back, they even taught her how to fly, with the help of Aunt Rainbow Dash of course. It was funny, she was the daughter of two earth-ponies, yet she came out as a pegasus. Funny how ponies genetics work out like that. Her dad, Caramel, had a mom who was a pegasus, so that's how the wings thing came into play. Good thing too, with Sweet Apples and her wings they could clear those trees a lot faster then just the earth-pony way, not that the earth-pony way was bad in fact it helped harvest these trees surrounding her this very instance of many years. Not a surprise there.
SA stopped right in her tracks, "The surprise! Ah forgot all about the surprise!" She yelled at her self, "How could I be so stupid?" She turned right around and ran towards the barn. Jumping over rocks and ducking under apple branches. She ran through the orchard as quick as she could, "Wait," she said to her self, "I'ma pegasus! Why am I runnin'?" She spread her wings and jumped into the air trying to bob branches and trees until she got into clear view. SA looked around the farm for her brothers and cousins, " Where are thoes ponies?" She asked herself again. SA's eyes caught the gleam of from something reflecting the sun's light, she looked over to see where the light was coming from and saw her ma, brother, and cousins all gathered around Uncle Big Mac holding a new pie pan. SA rolled her eyes, "Really a new one? We just got one about two weeks ago," she fussed, knowing nopony could hear her. Flying towards them she flew down and landed beside her cousin, Adam Apple.
Her family looked over and smiled, "What'cha in a hurry for sugarcube?" Her mom asked, she wore a red badana around her head now since she gave SA her hat.
She took a deep breath trying to regain her normal heart rate back, " I forgot that me and the others have to go meet our friends," she said in a bit of a hurry, and her neurves were kicking in.
"Oh, cool! Where are we going?" Sweet Apple asked, smiling.
"We're going to the Everfree Forest, and we're running late so hurry up," SA said as quickly as she could, "Calm down, we don't need another attack," she said quietly to herself.
Her ma smiled, " Oh so you're going on over to see Zacora?" She asked, walking to Fluttershy who came out the house with Angel and a freash baked apple pie, "This smells delicious," Apple Jack said, taking the pie and sitting it by the window.
"So what's going gone?" Fluttershy asked her niece.
"We need to go and head over to the Everfree Forest and...um go see Zecora," SA lied, biting her tongue, "Um...we got to go!" She said grabbing both Arcitic and Sweet.
Fluttershy gently taped SA's shoulder," Y'all be safe now, ya hear," She gasped, " I just talked like an Apple!"
Big Mac smiled and wrapped his hoof around her, "Eyup!" He said proudly.
SA smiled, a little less jumpy, "Alright, love ya ma, love ya Uncle Big Mac, love ya Aunt Fluttershy, and ma tell pa and the rest that I love them," she said, hugging Apple Jack. Apple Jack hugged her back, while Sweet, Adam, and her brothers said their goodbye's.
"Alright now, I don't won't y'all to be home no later than 10," her mom assured.
"Yes ma'ma," they all said in union as they walked towards the Everfree Forest. After they were out of ear shot Bismarck looked over at his little sister, "Alright SA spill it, where are we really going?"
SA laughed, " I knew you would have known; we're going to The Everfree Forest for a surprise the me and Solar made for y'all,"
Sweet Apple smiled, "Hmm...I wonder what it is,"
"You'll have to figure out on your own," SA said, she knew that her friends were going to love her surprise. It's going to be fun having a different color mane. The fillies and colts made their way into The Everfree Forest and continued on looking around for their friends, "There they are," SA said pointing towards the small group of fillies and colts.
A curly pink and blue haired filly walked up to SA and hugged her, " What took you guys so long?" She asked, walking with SA.
Bismarck smiled at the pony a little longer than he should, " Oh, um SA just told about the surprise something another,"
Candy leand over her friends ear, " Did you take you medicine?" She asked, whispering.
SA shook her head, "Don't worry I'll be fine, you're the one I am worried about. Did you take yours?" She asked.
Candy shook her head," No, no I did not,"
SA laughed a liftle, " Don't worry, I got yours with me when ya need it," she smiled.
Candy rolled her eyes," How do you bring mine, yet you left yours at home?"
SA shrugged, " My friends are more important, now come one me and Solar are about to show y'all something cool!" She said, walking to Solar, He was studying a spell him and SA made making sure he got it right, " Alright y'all, so our surprise for ya is that me and Solar are gonna change your mane colors, but don't worry it'll only last for twenty four hours. The colors will be at random so no picking the color yourself," SA informed, she looked over to Solar who seemed to be ready.
"Here we go," he said, casting the spells over everypony, but nothing happened.
SA looked confused, " It was supposed to work," she frowned, a slit in the air appeared and started to stretch wider and wider till it got the size of a full grow bush.
"What is going on?" Amber demanded, trying to hold her body in place. The hole once a small slit in the air now the size of a house started taking in everything as well as, beginning to consume everything in its reach.
"What are we-ah!" Nova yelled as the vortex tried to eat her, Nova's back legs were inside the vortx while the rest of her was being held down by SA.
"Hold on Nova, I got ya!" She said, pulling her friend out and back to safety. The vortex started to get even stronger, SA was sliding closed to the black hole. She held on to her brothers whoove,"No, ah!" She screamed, as her whooves failed to keep her from the might beast. She was sucked in by the black hole.
"No! Southern! I'm going after her," Candy cried as she jumped into the vortex.
Amber's and Sweet's gripsbecame very weak and they too were eaten by the raging demon. Soon enough Nova became tired as well and was consumed by the monster, followed by her brother, Solar. The vortex became so powerful one by one the fillies and colts flew into the black monster, till none were left.
A certain zebra witness this horrific state of events, and she too was shocked, " I must tell the mothers about the others, about the vortex that consumed and I assume, that I will have the mention the other dimensions.
