*This is an OC story with flippy_fan210's OC, Claw, who's not a pony, but what looks like a lynx. I'm also including my Bayonetta pony in this. And this is truly my longest story I have made, so I'm sorry about this. Enjoy.*

One fine day at Sweet Apple Acres, the Apple family was working hard in the fields, bucking the trees to harvest the apples. Apple Bloom, however, was working with Granny Smith around the house. After a while, the old green pony says, "Ya done real good there, Apple Bloom. Maybe you can help out yer brother and sister out in the fields." "Ah sure will!" Apple Bloom leaped with joy because she thinks she can harvest some apples off of the trees from bucking them.

As she got her gear and buckets, she was ready to go buck some apples, but then hears somepony arguing with another pony. She had to check it out. She thought it was Applejack and Big Macintosh arguing, but she was wrong on that. Big Mac was trying to keep away some troublesome ponies trying to make him look and feel stupid. "Oh really now?" Big Mac said. "Yeah! We want you to say it and we'll leave," said the troublemakers, who were not Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. (Hint: I MAY make a story out of those two.) Big Mac didn't want to say it, but the troublemakers wanted him to say it. "Okay," he said. "Ah don't care about mah littlest sister! There! Ah said it!"

OH, NO!!! Big Mac no longer cares about little Apple Bloom?! She heard that and started to well up fast. She then ran away in tears. <:( 2 hours later, she was packing up some stuff. Why? "Him no longer caring about me is like the family won't care about me! Ah don't need them! I'm runnin' away!" she cried while packing. She then set out away from Sweet Apple Acres and out into the sunset.

She went into the open world to find a better place to be at where somepony would care for her. Meanwhile, back at the farm, the 3 remaining ponies searched frantically around the house and field. "Do ya know where she might be, Big Mac?" Applejack asked. "No! I think she ran away, but I dunno why," he responded. "What happened earlier?" Applejack asked, more surprised than ever upon hearing the news. He then began with, "Maybe she was eavesdropping on me whenever those troublesome ponies were hear earlier. They made me say that ah don't care about my littlest sister anymore. They wouldn't stop until ah said it!" "Well we gotta find her now! And I think ah found some hoofprints," Applejack said, also looking at some tracks behind Big Macintosh. The two followed the trail.

Meanwhile, Apple Bloom was in a crossroad between towns. "Where do I go?" she thought. But she was also in danger because a band of bandits came upon her. "Where do you think you're going, little missy?" one of the bandits asked, but was then grabbed by somepony. It was a red pony in black clothing with black hair as well, and she grabbed all the bandits and knocked them all out in as little as 5 seconds. "Deary me! That was faster than expected," she said. Apple Bloom, awed at the sight of the rescue said, "Thank you, ma'am! But do ah know you?" Looking at the yellow filly, she said, "I don't think so, but let me introduce myself. My name's Bayonetta, the Umbra Witch. One thing I can't stand in life are cockroaches and crying foals. A crying cockroach foal would be hell for me. Tell me, little one. Where are you going?"

After a brief explanation, Bayonetta said, "Well, that must be tiring. And you must be tired. Come with me. I'll take you to a place where there's a lot of caring ponies." With that, she summons the demon centipede, Scolopendra, with her mane. The 2 ponies hop on the demon, and they soon leave. "Where are we going?" Apple Bloom asked. "To the Gates of Hell, little one, but it isn't like what you want to avoid these days," Bayonetta replied.

Later on, the 2 ponies made it there. At the Gates of Hell. (It's a bar, okay?) "Hey there, Bayonetta. Seems like you brought a friend of yours," a brown stallion with sun shades said. "Her presence isn't much of your concern, Rodin. She said she ran away from her brother who doesn't care about her anymore," Bayonetta said. Rodin walked towards the filly to ask her name. "It's Apple Bloom, sir. And you?" she asked. The stallion began with, "They call me Rodin. I'm a demon blacksmith and owner of this little club. Don't you worry. We'll take good care of you."

Meanwhile, outside the Gates of Hell, Big Mac and Applejack was still looking for the little filly. "No luck," said Big Mac. "She must be 10 miles away from us." But then, a voice said, "Don't give up!" Out came a white lynx with black dots all over. "I saw them go that way, and I can trace down their scent and defend you two with my claws. They call me Claw, by the way." After long introductions, the group head out faster than one can say "Shining Celestia!"

Back at the Gates of Hell, little Apple Bloom was fast asleep. "She dozes off fast," Rodin said. "Maybe she can sleep in your bed tonight," the Umbra Witch said. Without any other words coming out from the blacksmith, Bayonetta brought Apple Bloom to Rodin's bed. "I think I feel somepony comin' over here. I'll take a look," Rodin said. He then vanished from the 2 ponies and went to the above ground, meeting the group of ponies and lynx. "You looking for someone?" Rodin asked. "How did you know that, strange one?" Claw asked.

5 minutes later, after Applejack told what happened, Rodin said, "Don't you worry now. She'll be back tomorrow. I guarantee it." He then went back down and told Bayonetta to take Apple Bloom back home to Sweet Apple Acres in the morning. He also wrote a letter to Apple Bloom, but she was asleep.

In the morning, Apple Bloom woke up in her room back at home. "Why am ah here?" she wondered. She then found a letter. It said:

"Hey there, AB.

In all truth, your brotha was being told from some troublemakers to say he didn't care 'bout ya, but deep down, he cares about you and loves you ever so. He and I think you got the wrong idea. Please don't do that again. You know, running away, because you worried your family to making my friends go sugar cray-cray.

-Rodin"

Apple Bloom then got out of her bed, found Big Mac, and hugged him ever so.

End.
