My Apple's Still Blooming

The big day

AppleBloom woke up with a giant grin. Today was her holiday! The servants had made four helpings of everything. She hopped out if bed, getting dressed fancy. She wore the dress Sweetie Belle had let her keep after their play. (If you have seen season 4 'For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils,' You'll know what it looks like.)

Some servants had come to pick up AppleBloom. They had a chambered seat on their back, and asked AppleBloom to sit in it while they carried her to the party. She grinned and accepted. "Thanks, y'all." AppleBloom said, sitting in the seat.

Once they got there, she hopped off and went straight to the rows of tables, which held the food. She saw that there were eight tables all filled to the brim with treats she had tasted. She smiled and licked her lips, starting on the first dish.

After some time, she had finished everything on all eight tables. She was stuffed, and actually quite chubby. The servants went to her and told her that the celebration was starting. She saw how chubby AppleBloom was, and giggled in happiness.

AppleBloom smiled, and walked over to the middle of town. There, one of the servants blindfolded AppleBloom. "What's this for?" she asked. "Well, we set up something really special for you, and we want it to be a surprise." one of the servants said.

AppleBloom's eyes lit up, but they couldn't be seen through the thick blindfold. She was guided along crowds of ponies that were cheering. She smiled. Everypony loved her. She was lost in daydream, and didn't notice when the servants tied her hooves up and hung her on a stick.

When she snapped out of daydream, the servants were taking her blindfold off, which revealed she was over a fire. Tied on a stick. Trapped. She began to panick. 'C'mon, AppleBloom, wake up! When you do, you'll be nice and safe in your apartement!' she thought to herself, pulling herself up.

Soon, she looked around. She screamed. She was surrounded by changelings! "Where is everypony?! What did you do to them!? They were throwing me a celebration!"

Queen Chrysalis stepped through the crowd. "Well, ever since Celestia banished us here, we had devised a problem. We could no longer feed off of love, and had to become cannibals. We soon began eating everypony who came here, and the habitants as well. We did the same thing to everypony, what we did here. When eating everypony in the region, we told them all to come here, where we blindfolded them, much like you, and set them up on fires. Oh, boy, it took long to set up all the fires, though!" Chrysalis giggled.

AppleBloom began to cry. "Please don't eat me! I'll do whatever you want! And what about all that food? You were being nice to me!" AppleBloom said, crying. Her tears dripped on the ground, missing the fire.

"We were fattening you up, so that you would be bigger! You are so small, we had to make you bigger. Its also too bad that you have a blank flank, cutie marks add just the right touch." Chrysalis said. AppleBloom screamed again.

"Please, please, please let me go!!!! Please!" She shrieked. But it was no use. She dropped in defeat. The fire burned her back, and she was crying, her tears dropping onto her heating fur. She was going to be eaten.
