After Apple Seed's father died her step mother had to dismiss the household because they coulden't afford it. It was hard for her to say good bye to her friends.
Apple Seed was left to do all the chores. Her step-mother and step-sisters thought of her less of a sister and more of a servent. Her mother said it was good for her because it distracted her from all her pain and sadness and they where more than happy to provide her with lots and lots of distraction. All the food she had was the scraps from the meals from her step mother and sisters. She also had very little in the way of friends, well her friends where very small.
Sometimes the attic was to cold to sleep in,so she slept by the warm hearth of the fireplace. One morning she woke up and started to prepare breakfast and her step-mother Rairity said,
"What is on your face."
"Its ash." laughed Dimond Tiara "I know what to call her. Dirty Apple Seed."
"Cinder Apple Seed," Silver Spoon sujested,"that's what we'll call you."
"Oh you are so cleaver." Rairity complamented. Apple seed set a plate on the table.
"Who is this for," Her step-mother queshtend"are we for getting someone?"
"No, this is my place." Cinder Apple Seed answered her question
"It is too mutch to ask you to prepare the food, searve it, and prepare you own place. Woldn't you rather eat when all the work is done Apple Seed , or shall I say Cinder Apple Seed." she said.
Then Apple Seed picked up her stuff and went to her room. She set her stuff on the table but accidently dropped the plate the she began to cry
Later she ran into the forest. A deer startled her as she saw a group of hunters pass by.
"Go! Go or they will catch you!" Cinder Apple Seed warned him. So the deer ran to safty , as a stalian with a green coat and a red and yellow mane and tale with
a cutie mark of a game called Simon passed by.
" Are you ok?" he asked
"Yes, but you most certainly scared the life out of him." she replied
"Who?" he asked
"The deer. What has he ever done to you to diserve this?" she asked
"I'm afraid I don't know him." he raplied
"Then why are you trying to kill him?" she questioned him again
"We are hunting, it is what's done." he answered
"Just because it is done doesn't mean it is what should be done," Cinder Apple Seed said fermly "promise me you won't kill him?."
"I promise," he told her "what is your name?"
"It doesn't matter what they call me," she replied "what is yours?"
"I'm Simon," he replied "I got my cutie mark from winning the Simon championship."
"Oh I was there watching, it was amazing!" she said excitedly "Honestly, for a moment it looked like that Button Mash was going to win."
They chuckled
"Well, I guess I will see you around." he said turning around to leave.
A few days later Cinder Apple Seed was walking at the market with her friend a magenta pegasus mare with a teal mane that had light turquoise streaks through it and a rainbow cloud cutiemark with red, yellow and blue music notes, and crystal blue eyes by the name of Creative Cloud.
"Why do you stay there if they treat you so bad?" Creative Cloud asked
"Well," Apple Seed started to replied "first of all, it's my home and my family has lived in it for generations."
Then there was a trumpet that sounded as a grey crosseyed pegasuss opened a scroll and began to read it.
"Attention everyone, there will be a grand ball at the palace in 2 days. Every eligible maiden is to attend." said the royle messanger ,a grey pegases with a blond mane and bubbles for a cutie mark. As she spoke every one started to buzz with exitment. Apple Seed rushed home to tell rarity, Dimond Tiara and silver spoon the good news
Both her step-sisters squealed with exitment once they heard
"Having delivered your news darling why are you still here ,"cried Rairity "Go tell the seamstress, Coco Pomel to sew 3 fine ball gowns."
"3." Apple seed gasped "Thank you for thinking of me and letting me go to the ball!''
"Do you think the other dress is for you." The unicorn scoffed "Let me get this straight one for Dimond Tiara ,one for Silver Spoon and one for me." She sternly told her "Now go before she is drowning in work." Rairity exclaimed as Apple Seed skuried out of the room.
