Chapter 1: Bottle of AppleJack. Part 1 *AppleJack POV*

It was a cold night in ponyville. Scootaloo was doing her homework.

"Mmm, let's see what I am missing. I got the vagina, the tubes, the ovaries, what am I missing?"

"Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash called from downstairs.

"Coming!" Scootaloo ran down the stairs.

"So are you hungry?"

"Kind of, Spitfire has me working on a project for class."

"What project?"

"A diagram of the female reproductive system."

"Speaking of Spitfire, where is she?"

"I don't know, where's mom?"

"AJ's always running late, maybe she's at work or something like that."

"You don't think she's cheating on you do you dad?"

"She wouldn't cheat on me, only if she was raped."

"I like how that's the first thing you bring up."

"Well I wouldn't be surprised ever since Luna took over things have been shittier."

"Dad can you not swear?"

"Sorry and why do keep calling me dad? I'm still a mare."

"With a penis."

"True but AJ will be home before Spitfire and of she isn't I know where she is."

"Where?"

"Getting," *Knock, knock, knock* "I'll get it."

Rainbow Dash opened the door and Spitfire walked into the house. "Hey Dashie."

"Sup?"

"Not much I left my keys at the school."

"That sucks."

"So where's AJ?"

RD's face turned mad.

"RD, where is she?"

"She's getting drunk, again."

"How do you know?"

"She's always getting drunk, she's an alcoholic. That's all she's ever been." RD flew off toward the drunkin' pony pub. She arrived at the front entrance and entered. She found AppleJack drinking a bottle of hard whiskey. "AJ! What the hell you were supposed to be home an hour ago."

"Sorry RD, I just a lot's on my mind. All the death that happened in the last few months. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault though how can you be so affected by it?"

"Because my brother died," AJ shouted as tears ran down her face. "I'm sorry it's just that all this, stuff has gone to me brain. I'm sorry, just don't hate me."

"AJ, I don't hate you I'm just bit mad that's all. I forgot Big Mac passed on."

"Well come on home Scootaloo and Spitfire are waiting for you, and so is our surprise guest."

"Who?"

"It's a surprise."

"Ok, but can you carry me?"

"Sure."

AJ hopped on RD back and took off toward the sky. Rainbow Dash took her time as AppleJack dosed off.

She started dreaming. "It's your fault he's dead. You were the one to protect him and you let him die! You whore."

"No. No, I... I didn't kill him. I didn't."

"Then why is he dead!?"

"I... No."

"Wake up! Come on sleepy head. You can't sleep forever." Rainbow said trying to wake her up.

"Hey RD." The image of Big Mac's death was in her mind. The blood all over the floor, the severed limbs, the giant...

"AJ! Come on get off me we're here."

"Sorry." AJ said trying to get off Rainbow.

"You ok? Need some aspirin or something?"

"That won't help, but thanks."

"You're welcome."

"So who's our guest?"

"Guess."

"Mmm, Derpy."

"No."

"Fluttershy?"

"No."

"Luna, Lyra, Bonbon."

"No, no, no."

"Who?"

"Walk inside and find out."

AJ walked in the house locking the door behind her and locking Rainbow Dash outside. She looked around to see the table set, the TV on, and Scootaloo and her sister sitting in front of it.

"AJ!" AppleBloom shouted running to hug her sister.

"AppleBloom, how did ya get here?" AJ asked hugging her back.

"Dad adopted me."

"Dad? Don't you mean aunt?"

"No, I'm ya'r daughter now." AppleBloom said. AJ blinked in shock.

Rainbow Dash walked downstairs with Spitfire following behind her. RD looked at her wife who was in a blank state shouted. "Let's eat!" The two fillies when to the table as Spitfire followed.

"What the hell?" AJ whispered to RD.

"What are you talking about? Don't you like to have AppleBloom living with us?"

"Yeah but RD come on now she's my sister not my daughter."

"But aren't you happy?"

"I am, but RD if she's my sister then I'm your daughter, but if I'm married to you then you're married to your daughter and that's against the law."

"Wow, wow, wow AJ calm down, AppleBloom sees you as a mother anyway so this should be no problem."

"Fine, but if I or we get arrested I'm..." AJ's whisper was cut off.

"Yeah are you two just gonna stand around and yell in silence at each other or are you gonna eat?" Spitfire asked.

"No." Rainbow Dash laughed.

The mares sat at the dinner table and ate with little conversation. Just silent munching and slurping.
