MLJ: SAM CH15 APPLE FAMILY MINISTRATIONS

MY LITTLE JOJO: STANDS ARE MAGIC
CHAPTER 15: APPLE FAMILY MINISTRATIONS
OPEN THE GAME!

>At this point the sun was getting ready to set
>A few minutes go by with both you and Rarity walking together silently when-
>R -"Oh SHIT!"
>Rarity suddenly jolts up, and starts running towards the barn
"WOAH, what's up?"
>R -"I forgot to untie Spike! I'll see you back at the house Anon!"
>She runs into the distance, and your trip back becomes even quieter, and somehow more uncomfortable
>At this point, you're just bracing yourself for the mother of all bitchfits from Applejack, and probably Granny Smith
>Not that it wasn't entirely unwarranted
>Though, when you got down to it, it kind of made sense to just tell Applebloom rather than keep her in the dark
>Considering everything that's happened, it's not like the flow of Stand Users is going to slow down
>In fact you were pretty sure it would just keep going up
>She would have found out eventually through that alone
>Not to say you don't understand AJ's reasoning
>She was Bloom's big sis, of course she wouldn't want her to get involved in any way
>You step into the backdoor of the Apple Family home, straight into the kitchen
"Hey AJ!"
>AJ -"Didja get Fugue?"
>R -"No need to worry Applejack. I've got that taken care of!"
>Rarity strides in through the doorway with Fugue on her back, Spike slipping by her
>You step in behind them
>Applejack in currently tending to Pinkie, holding her close as she weeps and apologizes
>Shit that must've been a fuckin' nightmare for Pinkie
>If nothing else, it's over
>AJ looks up and locks eyes with you, giving you the stinkeye
>Or maybe it wasn't
>Not for you, at least
"Hey, I uh.. I wanted to apologize for what I did earlier."
>AJ doesn't respond
"Uh... AJ?"
>R -"Applejack, I know you're not one to forgive so easily, but Anon didn't know what to do. He panicked. Please don't hold this against him."
>....
>AJ - "Fine. Now if y'all will excuse me, I gotta go check on Granny Smith n' Big Mac."
>Applejack slowly places Pinkie on the ground
>AJ -"Y'all gonna be alright Pinkie?"
>Pinkie nods, and Applejack helps prop her up
>She walks through the doorway before turning her head back
>AJ -"Ya can't keep actin' like yer past didn't happen, Anon."
"Again with- It's not important!"
>AJ -"The pony that started all this seems to think so."
>You don't bother replying as she walks off into another part of the house
>All you can muster is a sigh
>She's never gonna let that go is she?
>Knocking your attention from the now gone AJ, Pinkie grips onto your leg, eyes watering
>PP -"I-I'm sorry Nonny. I d-din-"
>Her speech becomes nothing more than incoherent babbles as her grip on your leg tightens
>You grab her and hold her up to face level
"It's alright Pinkie. I forgive you. You were under control by someone else."
>To solidify this, you wrap her in a hug
>She returns it, and you stroke her back
>After a minute or two, you put her back on the ground, and she wipes her face with a foreleg
"So now what?"
>...
>Sp -"Letter to the princess?"
>Twilight's already with her, soooo...
"Sure."
>At that, Spike reaches down and grabs a pen and paper from his... pockets?
>You're curious, but not enough to ask... at least not now
>After a minute of writing, Spike rolls up the paper and burns it with his dragonfire
>R -"Now then, I was hoping to repair your shirt Anon, so if yo-"
>*ZZZZZZAP!*
>With a flash, Twilight teleports into the kitchen, holding a ball in her magic
>T -"I'm here! Is everypony alright?!"
>Sp -"Yeah, we're fine."
>T -"Oh. Then why did you say somepony had attacked you and the Apples?"
>R -"No need to worry Twilight. Our assailants have been-"
>She gestures towards the tied up Fugue on her back, no longer wriggling around
>R -"Taken care of."
>T -"Oh. Well... alright then."
>Wait...
"Where's Toccata?"
>To -"Right here."
>Toccata walks out from the living room
"So, what now?"
>Tw -"Well, we should probably get them to the guards."
>When Applejack came back, she explained the situation to Twilight
>Naturally, she was... less than pleased
>Though, to your surprise-
>TS -"Maybe it's for the best they know about Stands."
>AJ -"WHA-? Twi?! Are y'all crazy? Why would this be a GOOD THING?"
>TW -"Well, as Anon said, Stand Users are drawn to each other. They would have found out eventually."
>AJ -"Even so-"
>TW -"AND they'll be more aware of any bizarre happenings and can let us know of anything they notice."
>AJ -"I-... I guess. I still ain't happy about it."
>To your surprise, Toccata gave in without a fight
>Seriously, no fighting, no yelling, no nothin'
>Said he just went along with his brother, to help fund some sort of choir
>After patching the Apples up and bidding them farewell, you all reconvened at the castle
>You decided to go get Starlight to bring her up to speed, if only to avoid AJ
>Something in you told you she wasn't going to be the friendliest neighbor in town for the next few days
>What a sight THAT was
>Starlight had a bandaged flank
>Trixie got a STAND
>And they had been attacked as well
>Fuck, first DT
>Then Rarity
>Now TRIXIE
>Did Oprah get into Equestria AND find a Stand Arrow?
>After bringing them (and Wooden Bit, the pony that attacked them) along to the castle, the rest of the night seemed to go by in a blur
>All three of the assailants in this case were sent by none other than Creepy-Mc-HoodedFuck
>Good to know he still cares
>After some deliberation, you all unanimously agreed to spend the night sleeping together (non-sexually) in the castle under heavy guard
>Just in case anymore Gung-ho guns decided to test their luck
>Pinkie decided to make a party out of it (even though she was bawling her eyes out apologizing to her everyone she hurt not an hour ago)
>Of course, Wooden Bit and the Mignore Bros were locked up in the jail cell in the mayor's office under guard until they could get into a proper prison
>The party was a blast, as is every Pankoparty (the game of pin the tail on the pony got a LOT more intense than usual)
>But, eventually, you all had to hit the hay for the night
>And Fluttershy decided she was too scared to sleep alone, and asked you to keep her company
>You were starting to get suspicious of this at this point
>When did she start getting so comfy around you?
>Not that there's anything wrong with that
>At least, you didn't think so
>Was there something wrong with that?
>You'd continue this line of thought, buuuuut sleeping seems nicer
>Especially sleeping next to a gorgeous, blue eyed, gentle mare like Fluttershy
>Fuck it, why not
>Everyone says goodnight, and you all head to your different rooms for the evening
>And as you and Flutter Butter drift into sleep atop the bed in your room, that thought that you thought earlier resonates in your mind
>"When did Fluttershy get so comfy around me?"
>Though it didn't stop you from falling asleep

>Your eyes open
>Fluttershy is still where she was when you fell asleep, curled up in a ball
>God damnit she is adorable when she sleeps
>You spend a minute just appreciating her neoteny
>...
>That was...
>Weird
>Hold up
>What's that on her neck?
>It's barely noticeable, but something flat on the back of her neck seems to stick out
>You move her mane out of the way to find a small butterfly with heart-shaped wings resting on her neck
>When did that get there?
>You brush it to shoo it aw-
>*CHEW*
>MMMMMMFFFFFFFFFHHFFHFFHFF
>JESUS FUCK GODDAMIT
>DID THAT THING FUCKING BITE YOU?!
>You pull your now injured finger into your mouth and do your best to silence your whimpers
>F -"Anon?"
>Aw dammit
>F -"What's wrong?"
"Could you sit still for a second?"
>F -"Uh.."
>Before she can answer, you brush her mane back determined to find the little fuck that bit you
>Aaaaaaand nothing
>F -"Anon?"
>You look around a little more, searching every part of her neck
>F -"What are you doing?"
>You move back to your original position, consigning defeat towards whatever the fuck that was
"Nothing."
>Fluttershy gives a weird look before simply turning back around and curling back up
>F -"If you say so. *Yawn* Goodnight Anon."
>...
>No, but seriously, what the fuck was that?
