Why did this happen?
Applejack's
I don't see why this happened to me. I mean, me of all ponies. Anyway, I'm Applejack. I'm an earth pony from Ponyville. I used to live with my family at Sweet Apple Acres, but I moved out when I got my cutie mark.
Ya see, a long time ago, when I was little, I decided that I didn't want to live on the apple farm anymore. So, I moved to Manehatten to live with my Aunt and Uncle Orange. I tried my best to get used to my surroundings, but it was extremely hard. I wanted to go home, but I knew that I would find who I was meant to be in Manehatten.
So, I stayed in Manehatten for a little while longer, and soon, I found my talent. Whenever I got homesick, I would make clothes that made me think of home. I made a special apple patch dress and put it on. After I took it off, I found I then had my cutie mark. It was 3 blue diamonds. Even though I got my cutie mark, I still felt like something was wrong. But who was I to argue. This was my destiny. And there was nothing I could do to change it.
When I got old enough, I decided I'd move back to Ponyville. My family was happy to see I was back in town, but they didn't think my cutie mark was right. They encouraged me to work on the farm with them, but I told them that I had to follow my destiny. And that my destiny wasn't on the farm.
So, the next day, I packed my things, and moved out. I bought a building near the center of Ponyville, and decided to call it 'Carousel Boutique'. I started my business, but I didn't get much costumers. I knew my dresses weren't fancy, but they had charm. But nopony would buy, or even touch them.
But I remember one special day, the first Summer Sun Celebration I ever experienced in Ponyville. I remembered that a purple unicorn came into the town hall when I was decorating. Her mane was a mess, so I offered to help her. Let's just say, it turned out worse. She then fixed it with her magic. I offered her a dress, but she still refused. I didn't blame her.
During the morning of the Summer Sun Celebration, Princess Celestia was expected to raise the sun, but instead, Nightmare Moon appeared. I didn't know what else to do, so I joined that purple unicorn, Twilight, into the Everfree Forest. I went with her, and 4 other ponies.
One was a pegasus pony originally from Cloudsdale. She had a rainbow coloured mane and tail, and had a light blue coat. Her cutie mark was 3 butterflies. Her name was Rainbow Dash. There was another pegasus pony from Cloudsdale too. She had a light pink mane, and a yellow coat. Her cutie mark was 3 blue and yellow balloons. Her name was Fluttershy.
There was an earth pony who came from a rock farm outside of Ponyville. She had a light pink coat, and a straight dark pink mane and tail. Her cutie mark was 3 apples. Her name was Pinkie Pie. Something about her cutie mark spoke to me.
There was also a unicorn pony who came from Ponyville, like me. She had a white coat, and a dark purple mane and tail that were curled into unnatural curls. Her cutie mark was a rainbow bolt. Her name was Rarity. I know it sounds weird, but I think she would look better with my cutie mark.
Anyway, we all went through the forest, and ran into different problems along the way. Pinkie helped Twilight down the cliff, Rainbow calmed a manticore, Fluttershy was able to make us laugh to scare away evil trees, and Rarity used her magic to fix a rope bridge. I also calmed a serpent, by cutting off my tail and Twilight used her magic to attach it to his cut moustache.
When we all went up against Nightmare Moon, we all got new necklaces. Pinkie got a necklace with a orange balloon on it. Fluttershy got a blue butterfly. Rarity got a red diamond. Rainbow got a pink bolt. And I got a purple apple. Twilight got a crown with a magenta star on it.
I don't know why, but I couldn't figure out why I didn't get an purple diamond. I mean, my element is generosity, and my cutie mark is a diamond. So, why did I get an apple? Maybe it doesn't matter. Like my destiny, I can't change it.
