Equestria's history is full of wonders, both magical and mechanical. But only twice has it succeeded in implementing AI.

The latest iteration is an apple farmer whose resurrection is celebrated by everypony except herself. Because really, once every part has been replaced, what is left that can measure a mare?

An entry for the 2023 Sci-Fi Contest, where it nabbed a respectable fourth place. Yay, existential robot ponies!

Losing your friends is hard.

Saying your farewells is harder.

But reminiscing makes the pain just a little bit more bearable.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

COMMENTS CONTAIN SPOILERS.

This is my attempt at writing a short 'feels' story. Hopefully the ending will surprise you.

since Apple Lauda was a colt, he did vacation in the Allgäu quite a lot, making it his second home. Mostly, he did vacation in the region around Isny and Maierhöfen. What he mostly likes there is not just the mountains. He also did visit lake constance quite a lot, mostly Überlingen, but mostly he goes there because he has his beloved mountains there. After nearly a decade, Apple Lauda returns to the place he is allowed to call his second home.

To help Applejack relax and be away from her farm life and her grief, Rarity takes the farm mare and both their little sisters, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom to the soft and sunny beaches of Puerto Caballo with their pets.

That was, however, when an unknown disaster stuck Equestria, causing a change of plans. This led to the four fillies, cat, and dog stranded on a desert island with no way to get home, if said home is still there.

Two years after the events of Jurassic Pony, the original island was believed to be closed off to the public, but nopony could predict what unfolded afterwards. Rumor has it, something has survived...

Now Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy must venture to an island that brings back too many bad memories in order to preserve the creatures on it....before something goes wrong

10 years after the CMC take the role as the Elements of Harmony, Applejack and Rainbow Dash meet back together.

Fluttershy takes it upon herself to sew a plushie of the mare she holds closest to her: the sincere, understanding, tomboyish pony Applejack.

It's only logical that she should give the plush to her, right?

On Nightmare Nights, a peculiar pony wanders into Ponyville to witness the festivities. The pony is swept into a night of trick-or-treating before reuniting with its mother.

Applejack and Rainbow have been together for quite a while, and decide it's time to grow the family. And thanks to Twilight's Big Book of McGuffin Spells (patent pending), they are given that chance. And after months of trials and ordeals, they are finally reaching the end of a long road.
But when the day finally comes, Rainbow might not be able to hold herself together, and she's not even having the baby!

Rated T for child birth and suggested related 'activities'.
