A/N: Sorry for not posting any chapters on this for a while, just haven't been around a computer long enough to do so. But I have been writing on my phone. I've editted my stories just a few moments ago, but please tell me if there are any more mistakes. Thanks and please review!

-AB-

After the bomb took out the black mass, the humanoid rock beings, and my sister. Ponyville was just in disarray. Everything had been leveled, luckily, only a few ponies met death that day, because of the blast wave. But we were all okay. We all moved to the meadow, to have a safe place for all of us to have a long enough break to recover from the biggest loss, I think, in both Ponyvilles. Both Pony and Human alike.

We humans cried at the loss of the one that has brought us together and held us as such like super glue. I cried the most because the last thing I did to Aj was such an insult to her. And yet, when she knew she was going to die, she told me that she loved me. Dashal and I held each other and just cried into each other.

"That was a brave thing your sister did," Misses Cake walked up to me.

"Thank you," I wiped my eyes to look at her.

"I mean it. I saw her as a monster and yet she still saved all of us," her eyes were red and filled with tears, "Despite what all of us thought of her, she managed to save my two little Phillies. We owe her our lives."

I just cried and cried, "I would say it's okay, but we know it's not." Dashal rubbed my shoulders, "We lost a good friend today."

Flutters, Pinkie, Rarity, Twilight, and Big Mac surrounded us. I pull away from Dashal and said, "And then there were seven."

"All the things I've said but didn't," Twilight stated.

"All the things I've said to her," Rarity said.

"All the things that we had planned for the future," Flutters chimed in.

"Aj has deposited a little of her love inside of us all," Big Mac said, "Despite me being the oldest, she was wiser than us all. I know my parents are hers, but she all of this has affected her more than me. She was so strong, yet so weak on the inside."

"That could be true for all of us," Celestia walked up to us in clothes that were in shreds, "Your sister was a true hero and she died a hero's death."

"Y'all sulkin' 'round here like someone just died," we heard a familiar voice and my heart tried to jump out of my chest with joy.

I whipped around and saw Aj limping heavily in her torn up orange uniform. Bruises and blood was showing beneath her clothes, "AJ!" I screamed and ran up to her. I hugged her tightly, "I'm so glad that you're alright."

"Yeah, I'm glad to see you too," she pushed me away and held the right side of her rib cage, "Sorry, still a little tender right there," she winced.

"What happened?"

"I didn't die, that's what happened," she fell to her knees, "Shit," she straightened her upper body and her spine popped all the way down, "Ugh! I'll be sore in the mornin'."

The crowd around us murmured in happiness before chanting her name. She looked around in such awe and amusement, "Man, they're acting as though I've just done something miraculous," she joked.

"You did save scores of dimensions' lives Aj," I smiled and helped her back up to her feet.

"Really?" she looked around, "I haven't noticed."

Dashal went under her other arm to help me support her weight, "Hello love," Aj said to her and Dashal blushed.

"Hello Dash," Aj removed her arm from my shoulders and pushed Dashal's hair back, "There's that pretty face of yours."

She chuckled so hard that she snorted and she blushed, "Awe shucks," she continued to giggle and snort.

Aj nuzzled her neck and held her tight. Aj's body was, even though back to normal, emphasized the petiteness of Dashal's body, "Oh stop it Aj," Dashal squealed, "People are watching."

"Princess Applejack," the crowd.

Alicorn Twilight walked up to us with her friend, "You're alive!"

Twilight went up to my sister and hey hugged, "Oh My Garsh!" Pinkie Pie shrieked, "That was so amazing!" The pink mare jumped around talking so fast that I couldn't understand what she was saying.

I looked to the pink haired friend of mine for translation, "She says that she's rally happy that Aj is alive. Now she's talking about the battle, and now she's just rambling on about all the ponies that where in her house," Pinkie translated.

"All of Equestria, looks to you know sis," I tell her.

"Yeah, it does. So I better do a good job in making sure that everyone's safe. And Rarity," my sister looked to both purple haired beings, "I think I'll take a gander at those outfits when we get home."

"Well it's about time dearest," the pony stated, "I just knew that you would survive."

"What makes you think that?" Aj asked.

"All that time I spent making them would've gone to waist if you didn't. And I wouldn't have allowed that to happen."

"Of course," Aj scoffed.

For the next few months, we focused on rebuilding Ponyville. And for a few months after that, we went around Equestria and made littler fixes to other cities around the country. It was almost eight months before we actually made it to the castle.

I went to the grand hall where all the food was and the smell of roasted veggies filled my nose. You know, after months of eating veggies and sweets, one kinda misses meat, "I wanna steak," I tell myself.

"I know right," Nick came from behind me.

"Where the fuck were you?" I snapped at him.

"I was making sure that all the ponies here in the castle were being kept safe as the guards were sent to god knows where," he snapped back.

"Oh, sorry," I look down and hold my hands.

Nick grabbed my hands and pulled them to his mouth. He began kissing them, "I have a confession to make Applebloom," I already know what he was going to say, "It took me going across a dimension to find the one I love," he pulls me in with my hands at his chest, "I love you," he tells me.

I gasp because I've never had any boy tell me that he loved me. I do love him, it's just that all of this is so sudden. All I could do was lean into his chest as he wrapped his arms around me, "So what do you say?" he asked softly.

"I think I love you too," I shyly admitted.

He grabs my face with such delicacy and looks into my eyes, "May I kiss you?" I nodded softly.

Our lips mashed together and I just melted into him. If he was going to just take me, I would've let him. My body was just numb because of his much of a great kisser he was. What's funny is that he didn't even go for tongue. Which I thought he would.

He pulled away and I mewed softly in protest, "Wow," I gasp, "My first real kiss," I look at him.

"My first kiss to a woman," I blushed hard and looked back at my hands that were now on his stomach, "I mean it. You're perfect Applebloom."

"You can just call me AB and I'm not perfect."

"Fine, you're not perfect then," he shrugged.

I hit him in the chest laughing, "You're supposed to tell me I'm perfect until I believe you."

"You were fighting and I was raised to never fight a woman. Girl, yes. Woman, no."

"I'm only eighteen now, I'm not old enough to be a woman," I tell him. My mind is a human calendar and what's really groovy was that Ponyville's calendar was exactly like ours. So I was able to pinpoint my birthday.

"You had your birthday already. Happy Birthday AB," he pulls me in for another hug.

"Thanks," I just meld my body against his and listened to his strong heartbeat.

"So, what does this make us?"

"I dunno, but what I do know is that I want to take is slowly."

"Yeah, sure," he tried to seem supportive, but I knew I struck a nerve.

"We can be in a relationship, okay?" I looked at him and his sapphire blue eyes looked back at me.

"Works for me," he smiled and kissed me on my forehead.

"Where are the others?"

"Aj is at the hospital ward getting her wounds checked. She hasn't really allowed them to heal properly. She also hasn't allowed herself to rest."

"Where is he now?"

"She's talking to guards about how she thinks there's too many of them in the kingdom. So she's devising a plan to spread them out over all of Equestria."

"Sounds like a busy girl," he said.

His voice was soon followed by the voices of both Rainbow Dashes, "That Dragon Kick was just amazing!" we looked and saw Rainbow Dash flying above Dashal's head, "I didn't know that you could do that to a Timber Wolf!"

"Timber Wolves act big and scary but if you show them who's boss, they won't mess with you."

"You have to teach me that move sometime."

Dashal cocked and eyebrow, "It's harder than it looks Dash. Besides, knowing you is knowing myself. I know that you're just going to use it to try and get into the Wonder Bolt Academy."

"Have you gotten into the Wonder Bolt Academy?"

"No," Dashal held back and swallowed her anger.

"Why not? I'm awesome, I mean, you're awesome," Rainbow Dash landed on the floor.

"I just didn't okay! Just leave it alone!" Dashal went to the tables and began dropping food in the plate she grabbed.

"I'll be back," I pulled away from Nick and went over to Dashal.

"You okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just those sudden memories came back is all. Luckily for me, they all died during the war. Those blue bastards."

"No need to be angry at Dash about it though."

"I know, it's just that, that, never mind. Just forget it okay?" I nodded.

"I wonder if Equestria would mind losing a cow," I told her.

"Oh no, the cows here are like people. Eating one of them would make you seem like a monster."

"But we can just pick off one of the sick ones. Or the old ones that have no time lift."

"No AB," she smiled, "You're young and you haven't really been without meat for a while. I know it's hard, just work through it. It was hard on all of us. Which is why Aj and I always eat a lot of nuts. Our bodies crave protein and that's what's going on with you."

"Fine, whatever," I found a large bowl of peanuts and dig out a handful. I go around the table eating them as I found other miscellaneous food stuffs.

-Aj-

I sat in a cot with my feet in the cold marble floor as a nursing pony tended to my wounds. She used magic to dab the scabs with a cloth soaked in ointment, "Ah!" I flinched, "Can you be any rougher?"

"If you would've come to me of any nurse pony months ago, you wouldn't be here. You and your dammed pride," I liked her a lot. She called it like she saw it, despite who she was talking to.

"You know what, I'm Princess and I've been very busy lately."

"A Princess isn't a Princess if she feints from infections and what not," she spoke with an arrogant English accent. Even though she was blunt and a bit of and ass, she was funny and I know I could always count on her. She reminded me of a mother in a sense. She was head of the Hospital Ward, so it's kinda in her nature to be motherly.

"Ouch!" I jumped again in pain.

"The sooner we get this done and over with, the sooner I can bandage you up and the sooner you can go back to rough housing with the guards. Now," she set down the cloth, "This is going to hurt."

"What's going to- Eyaaaaaaouch!" she instantly covered the cloth over my scabbed wound, "What the hell!"

"Look at that," I looked and saw my six inch scab. It was black on one side and red on the other.

"That came from my arm?"

"Why yes. This just shows me that your body heals very well," she tossed it into the trash can and pulled the cloth away and replaced it with a large band aid, "Now you may go. Just come back this evening so I can add more ointment and change the bandage," she instructed, "Or I will find you wherever you are and do it there, hear me?"

"Yes ma'am," I stood up and rolled my shirt sleeve back down, "Thanks."

"No need for thanks, I'm just doing my job," she smiled and I left.

"It's about time," Celestia said. She pushed herself off the wall she had herself leaning against, "What took so long?"

"Oh nothing, she just wanted to make sure that my wounds weren't infected."

"So what's the plan for today?"

"I wan you to be my Advisor Celestia. You know how to rule a kingdom so much better than I and I could use your help."

"I would be Honored," she bowed to me.

"Thanks," I begin walking down the hall with her at my side.

"So what are you going to do about your heir to the throne?"

"I was thinking about that and I'm no too sure. I could always adopt."

"Adopt a pony? Why?"

"You know that I'm gay and I can't have children."

"We can always have Nick donate?"

"No, I'm not going to do that to AB. He and my sister have a chemistry together that I don't want blowing up in my face."

"Then they could have a child and that child could take over," she suggested.

"That's a great option actually. But I still wanna look into the adoption option. I know a place where baby ponies and young Phillies don't have any parents and are just orphans."

"How do you figure a pony is the same as a human?"

"Here, Ponies are the dominant species. Thy have intelligence that matches our own. The only difference between us is body structure if you look at it. Celestia had over a thousand years of ruling over her belt, you do too. She knows how to use magic, as do you. She has an annoying motherly nature about her, you do to."

"Hey, I resent that."

"Resent all you want, it's true. It's who you are Celestia."

"Well, you're crazy. Yeah. How you like that?"

"That's nothing new," I chuckled, "I was always crazy."

"Good point."

"So any word on Luna?"

"No," she seemed so down casted now, "No word. Which is sad. It's been over eight months and not even a sign of her. I know she can visit dreams and she hasn't yet. I have everyone on alert for that. Anyone who has an odd eerie dream will log it and mail it to me. No luck so far," she heaved.

"I know it's hard on you Celestia."

"Yeah it is, but I'm hanging in there."

"Don't give up hope. We will find her. That's a promise."

"Uh, Princess?" my top guard, Thunder Blu walked up to us.

"What is it Blu?"

"There are survivors pouring in and they're at the front gates."

"Give me an estimate."

"Around two hundred or so. They say that they're what's left from around the world. They began traveling here weeks ago, some months ago when the Darkness had destroyed their homes. Discord is with them if that makes a difference."

"What's Discord doing with them?"

"Before the darkness came to Equestria, Princess Celestia ordered both if them to try and find any survivors. Obviously they did."

"Get AB and Dashal to meet me at the front gates as soon as possible."

"Yes Princess."

"You can just call me Aj, Blu," I tell him.

"I think not malady. You're Princess and you shall be treated as such."

"Says who?"

"Says tradition."

"What if I don't like tradition?"

"Then you have to get the permission of you council."

"What council?"

"A council should consist of five members that you fully trust and know the laws and rules of the kingdom. The council are in a sense the law makers and anything they want to change must go through you and visa versa."

"I'll need more explanation, but for now, we have to go to the gates."

"Yes Princess," he saluted me and headed down the hallway in the opposite direction.

-AB-

I sat on a bench that was high above in the castle on a balcony. It over looked the direction of Ponyville. I hugged the arm of my new boyfriend and had my hewn leaned into his shoulder. He had his head leaning on my head. It was such a cliche position, but it was nice and I liked it.

The sun was setting and I just wanted to sit here forever, "This is nice," he told me.

"It is," I snuggled closer to him, "I wish everyday was like this one."

"That would be lovely. So, what do you like to do as a hobby?"

"I used to just practice my combat training with my sister. We would do hand to hand and also practice throwing knives and shooting guns. Every now and again her and would test out survival skills by leaving the farm for forty-eight hours and fight zombies."

"She's crazy."

"She's smart and she's just that good. In the process on one of those days, we would also find seeds of plants of all sorts. It was to make medicine for us for any time we needed it."

"Is everyone as good as her?"

"Luckily yes. Where she is weak, we're all strong. Despite what most people think, she's not as strong as she makes herself out to be."

"What do you mean?"

"She's only strong to hide the fact that she is weak. I don't know what she's trying to hide. I could never pinpoint it. It's not our parents, that's for sure."

"What's wrong with your parents?"

"Well," I sat up, "They're not even my parents. I was adopted."

"Right, right, I remember you telling me about that. But we never actually fully talked about it. Care to talk about it now?"

"Yeah, I would actually," I turned in the bench and sat with my right leg under my left as it rested on the ground, "Okay, here' what Aj told me. When she was facing the Darkness, it turned out to be her father. He craved power and set it up to where it looked as though he had died so he could leave Earth and go on the path of destruction or whatever. He killed Aj's mother because she rather die than to give up seeing Big Mac and Aj again. So he had her killed. This all happened before I was ever born. I was told by Dashal that someone, in the middle of the night, put me on the front porch of Apple Acres when I was just a baby. That's what I have."

"Sounds so odd that you were just left there. Was there a note of any kind?"

"No, which is what drives me nuts. My theory is, is that Aj's mother, ran away from him to drive his attention to wherever she was, instead of on Aj and Big Mac. I think that the time frame when her parents disappeared was right before I was born. So they fucked and then that's when everything went down. I think, she managed to survive his attack and when I was born, she brought me back home under the radar."

"Seems a little far-fetched, but it is plausible," he shrugged, "I mean, what if your theory is true?"

"Then our mother is out there somewhere wanting to come back to us, but can't," I looked to the sky, hoping my theory is correcty.

-Somewhere Else-

I was enjoying my new life on Earth in a new dimension. I had traveled here almost nineteen years ago. This Earth was in a binary star system, so it was always hot and always sunny here. For most of the day anyway. We only got up to four hours of evening before one of the suns pops up from the horizon. The humans here have red skin due to a genetic thing from the suns millions of years in the making. I was considered an odd ball and I have been almost killed because of how I came into orbit.

My husband at the time, before he became an evil psychopath, invented a teleportation and cross dimensional invention. Later on down the road, he made a portable one that you could fit in the palm of one's hand. I manage to slip it from his pocket when he tried to kill me all those years ago. At the last second, I hit the button and it sent me to this Earth.

At first, most of the people thought me of as the Devil, some others saw me as a God. The government of course thought me the Devil or a sorcerer until I showed them the technology I had and explained my story. Of course, not being as technologically advanced as the Earth I came from. I began showing them all the technologies that my world had and they went without. Like indoor plumbing for starters and the idea of a car and planes. The government gave me amnesty, in return, I showed them and helped build their cities and give them all they wanted. And who'd of thought that they didn't know what caffeine was. What kind of world lives and thrives without caffeine, right? But that's just my take on it because I grew up with caffeine always on me.

Currently, I was at home, sitting at my desk. Taking a break from figuring out what I could do to make the cars better. I looked at the picture of me, my husband Thunder Blu, twelve year old Big Mac, and seven year old Applejack. Oh how I wish I could've been there to see them grow up. Especially my little girl that hadn't been born yet. Thunder Blu and I had made love the night before he went crazy and it wasn't until a few weeks later that I realized I was pregnant. Go figure.

I wanted to do everything in my power to protect my unborn child and that's when I was I went into hiding on Earth to try and hide from Thunder Blu. Luckily he hadn't found me until I went full term, and gave birth to a beautiful red headed girl. When Thunder Blu was hot on my trail, I had to make sure that she was okay. So, I made it to Apple Acres under the cloak of darkness and have done a Harry Potter move. I left my baby on the front step with one word written on a scrap of paper, 'Applebloom'. I hated leaving my children without saying goodbye, but I had to do what was best for them.

I never had forgiven myself for leaving and now, now I'm trying to talk to the government about allowing me to go home if I gave them the keys to everything I know. The council is deliberating, but they do like my proposal. So fingers crossed, right?

I put the picture away when my assistant came in. She was always clumsy and ditzy in nature. She came crashing in and tripped over some rolled up pieces of paper that she had dropped, "I'm so sorry Apple," apologized.

"It's okay Reyhn (rain) Cloud," I helped her pick up everything. Despite her flaws, she's actually quite brilliant. She's the one responsible for the waterways that maze through the country. The waterways filters in pure drinking water to the wells.

"Oh, you can just call me Reyhn," she smiled and she set her stack of papers onto my desk, "Today's the big day isn't it?"

"Why yes it is. Today might be the day I can go back home."

"I'm really going to miss you Apple when you're gone."

"Don't get your hopes up young one. They might not consider it."

I spoke too soon, because there was a hard series of knocks at the door. I automatically knew that it was guards. They always knocked on my door like I've done something wrong. So I walked out of my house and walked to the door. Opening it I saw the country's Leader, Fissure. I highly doubt that it's his real name, but it's the only one he's told me, so I went with it, "Good evening Apple. May I come in?"

"Of course," I stepped aside and allowed him and his ten guards to come in.

"Good news Apple, you can go home. Just hand over everything you have on your inventions."

"Okay," I got really excited and I really did sorta jinx myself. I a good way that is. I said there was a huge possibility of me not going home, but I'm going home, "Just let me go get them right quick."

"I'll wait right here," he said.

My body was all fidgety because now I could go home. I went to the back room where stacks and stacks of papers stood where I kept detailed files of all the inventions. I looked at the first stack and pulled off a large bundle of books. They were so big that I had to put them on a dolly in order to take them to the front.

When I got to the front, a guard took the dolly from my hands and took it outside, "I'll really miss you Apple. Everyone will actually."

"And I'll miss everyone here Fissure. You all have been so kind to me, but as you know, I have to go back a see my children."

"I know," he looked sad, "We shall escort you to the center of town."

"Thank you. Just let me pack some things."

An hour later, I was looking at the fountain in the center of town where everyone was waiting from the back of the truck I was in. I got out with the guards, Fissure, and Reyhn. One of the guards took out a suitcase from the trunk and handed it to me when we reached the fountain. I was filled with sorrow. Most of these people I have grown very close to over the years.

"All Of You! All Of You Here! You've All Been So Supportive Of Me, And I Thank You For That! Now, I Must Take My Leave! May You All Flourish And Prosper For Forever And A Day!"

I took out the Dimensional Rift Unit and hit the button. A purple gel erupted from the Unit and cloaked my body. The people and environment faded into purple and I was gone.
