(Story set when Melania was 6 and Jonagold was 5, Paula wasn't born yet)

———————-

The little pale filly walked trough the corridor in search of her little brother, when all of a sudden she heard someone crying. A familiar voice came from Granny Smith's bedroom, but It wasn't her, insted the voice came from her mother Applejack.
The filly silently stood next to the door for a few seconds, than she said:

Mel: Moma Jack?

Applejack jumped a little at the hearing of her little baby's voice and quickly tried to clean her face from the tears, then said:

AJ: Mel, I didn't know you were there, do you need anything, sugarcube?

She tried to fake a smile, and Melania immediately knew that something was wrong.

Mel: Moma, why are ya crying?

AJ: Oh, well, that's grown up staff. pats her daughter's head

Mel: But now I'm a grown up too! I wanna know!

AJ: There is still time dear, there is nothing to worry about.

Mel: ………. Is this about Granny Smith?

Applejack skiped a beat. Her daughter was smart. Too smart. She turned her head facing the window and signed.

Mel: Is that why you're sad? Moma, you know Granny Smith went to Las Pegasus on vacation!

Applejack thought for a moment "Wait, did Rara told her that? Not bad for an excuse"

AJ: Not exactly…….Mel, do you remember what happened last year to Winona?

Melania's smile soon turned to a frown, remembering the poor old dog's death.

Mel: Yeah…

AJ: You know why it happened?

Mel: You said she was old, and when dogs get old they are very tired and they go to sleep for a looooong time.

AJ: You see, sugarcube, this is what happened to Granny Smith. She was very old, so she went to sleep.

Mel: ….. oh. But why Moma Rara said she went to Las Pegasus?

AJ: Well, Moma Rara didn't want you to worry too much.

Mel: And why were you crying? She is just sleeping.

AJ: That's because she sleeps for a long time and we can't talk with her.

Mel: Well, we just have to wait! Untill then you can talk to me, or Jonny, or Moma Rara!

AJ: Yeah….

The mother faked a smile again and turned to the window. Her little daughter is smart but still an innocent baby.

Day 10: wants to draw but I can't because my computer is still broken. Help.
Ok you guys will probabily hate me for killing Winona and Granny Smith, but I mean, on the show she is probabily 70, and in this fic she died at the age of 80, so she lived a fullfilling life. And don't get me wrong, I love Granny Smith, it just felt unrealistic to let her live forever. And for Winona, she is also old, same story.
