"Ah guess the point Ah'm tryin' to make is that ya ain't what ya seem to be." There was a period of silence, then Applejack spoke again. Not only were ya fightin' off all sorts of nasty critters, but you were willin' to run the risk of arrest as well! That ain't somethin' that jus' anypony would be willin' to do." "Which is only yet another reason why Ah'm so astonished that you'd run such a risk to bring Apple Bloom home. "Because we didn't know it was you specifically. But if you knew I was coming, why did you seem so caught off guard when you all decided to fight me earlier?" "Ah know, it sounds mighty strange when Ah say it out loud." Because of this, one of her bird friends happened to see ya and Apple Bloom escape those timber wolves." "Her name is Fluttershy, an' she has the ability to talk to animals. "Do ya remember the yellow an' pink pegasus from Canterlot?" There was a pause, before the Warden spoke, sounding skeptical. "Before I answer that, I must ask: How in Equestria did you all know about the timber wolves in the ravine? I didn't see any indications that we were being watched." "Would any other pony have destroyed those timber wolves an' gone through so much trouble to get her back home?" I saw her in danger, and I decided to get her out of trouble. But I'm afraid my reason for saving her is not anything extraordinary. Saving a filly was the last thing Ah would've expected from ya." "Well, the last time Ah saw ya, ya left Princess Celestia for dead an' almost killed Princess Luna. "Why do you want to know? Isn't it obvious?" "Why did ya save her and bring her back?" "So," She heard Applejack say "why did ya do it?" This meant that more often than not, if things were quiet enough, she could make out conversations going on below.įrom her bed, she could hear Applejack and the Warden talking downstairs quite clearly. Due to where her room was located, she was directly above the living room. However, she didn't go to sleep quite yet. After a brief lullaby from Applejack, something which Apple Bloom had only grown to appreciate after her adventure, she soon found herself lying on her bed, alone in her room. She went and hugged everypony goodnight, the Warden included, and Applejack put her in bed upstairs. Apple Bloom tried to protest, but when she was stopped by another yawn, she knew that it would only be futile. After a particularly powerful yawn, Applejack decided that it was time for her to go to bed. Soon, the telling of their adventure had finally drawn to a close, and despite her excitement, Apple Bloom was beginning to feel drowsy. Hopefully, they will have heard of her return by now, though. They had been heartbroken for sure, especially Sweetie Belle. They also relayed how Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had handled it, and Apple Bloom could not help but feel sorry for her best friends. Once that was done, Applejack, Big Mac, and Granny all explained what had happened in Ponyville, and how close they had gotten to assuming that she had been lost forever. Apple Bloom did most of the storytelling, explaining the various dangers and moments of excitement that she and the Warden had encountered. Granny then got supper ready, and they all sat down for perhaps the longest meal that Apple Bloom had ever sat through willingly.įor about two hours, they all sat around the table, eating and discussing the events of the past three days. Plus, if Applejack was finally seeing the Warden as the goodhearted pony that he was, Big Mac and Granny surely were as well.Įventually, the Warden gave up protesting Applejack's help, and soon she had his injury set up properly. Applejack had finally come around, it seemed. True to her character, Applejack could not suppress her nurturing and caring nature after all!Īlong with the amusement, Apple Bloom also felt very relieved as well. Despite the Warden's insistence that it was fine, Applejack instantly went about cleaning it and treating it properly.Īpple Bloom could not help but feel somewhat amused to see her older sister act like a caretaker and fuss over the stallion whom she considered to be an enemy less than an hour before. Immediately following this, Applejack finally noticed the deep cut on the Warden's back which had been partially treated by Apple Bloom the day prior. After bringing him back to the house, the first thing they did was send Rainbow to inform Twilight about the encounter on her way back to her home.
