sad Legacy: Applejack's Promise

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

As I sit by the window watching the stars by night

Shining so perfectly, a gleam so bright

I remember the time they were there

Nurturing me, when I was a little filly

 

I remember the time I bucked my first apple tree

It was when I was only three 

Heh, it took me only once to knock all them apples down

And I remember the look on their faces...*giggle*

 

But then that day came...when I decided that the farm life wasn't for me

So I took that journey to Manehattan to live the urban life, to see what life would be

It was different...but I soon learned...that it wasn't right...

Then...that life changing moment occured. 

 

I saw a Rainbow....one that pointed my way....home

So I ran back to the farm...and lo an' behold...I earned mah cutie mark...

But...that wasn't the only thing

That happened that day...

 

A tragedy occured...not one...*sniffle*...but...*takes her hat off and hugs it*

Both...my parents...passed away...*light sobbing*

I never got to spend the time I wanted with them...all...because

...Of me wanting to do what I wanted...*continued sobbing*

 

What was I gonna do now?

I had an entire farm to take care of

Big Mac...and...Granny Smith and...oh little Appleblom...they need me

But how can I carry that burden...on my own? *continued light sobbing*

 

As I continue to look out the window...I see...two bright...shooting stars

They...remind me of.....of.....mah....parents...*stops sobbing*

I....remember them one day tellin' me that....everypony...must leave a...legacy

But...what did they leave me...if...*sniffle*....they passed so soon?

 

They...they taught me...how to work hard and...

Never give up no matter what weather we face

If...if that's what they taught me then...*wipes the tears from her face and puts her hat back on*

That's how I'll leave my legacy 

 

"I promise to be the Apple I was meant to be

No matter what comes, I will face the weather

I will never give up and...*sniffle* be strong...because...

I...am an Apple...to the core...and I...

Will leave my legacy for everypony to remember..."

Yep, remember in "Apple Family Reunion", the two shooting stars at the end was a symbol.
