Big Mac vowed to silence after the war. Comrades he had fought with, lived with, suffered with, now dead; the seering eyes of the enemies in the Everfree Forest peering daggers at the invaders; nothing was as it seemed.
He killed many, no mercy. Nothing was to be spared. Came home, but all he could think about was going back. At night, he grits his teeth unconciously, the soulless glazed eyes of both friend and enemy surface over and over again. He wondered "Aren't we just the same? Killers in their eyes?" |

^Applejack once caught him in full uniform, tattered from the fight, standing erect and facing the half-opened barn door, a bloody sword thrown to the side, one that he kept as a memento, or possibly as an invitation once again to the battlefield, front hooves slit up to the ankles.
The cries of Applejack and Granny Smith were said to be heard from as far as Celestia's castle. Medics rushed to the scene as Applejack searched Big Macintosh's frame for any signs of life. His eyes, straight forward at the rising sun, were half faded underneath his eyelids. At the hospital, doctors consoled the grieiving Apple family. Applejack, however, remained at her brother's bedside, never budging, never moving, never looking away. She never slept, never left, always watching; waiting. One day, she noticed as she came back with some water that Big Macintosh's eyes were half opened like they used to be. To her dismay, his head was shifted towards the window, the sun shining bright, like it did the day he tried to die. |

^"Thank Celestia you're awake" AJ spoke relieved. "Just what in tarnation did you think you were doing?"
Big Mac's lips stayed shut. "Are you out of yer mind? Why did'ya try to kill yourself?" Silence met her. "Listen here mister, the doctor said that it was a close call. Any second later and you'd be..." "...ead..." Applejack was surprised to hear the faint word that escaped Big Mac's mouth. Trotting closer, she moved her ear to him. "...they're...dead...like fallen apples...before the harvest..." "Listen, you've got to stop this right now. The war is over. You have to get over it." |

^AJ was caught off guard by Big Mac turning his head towards her, eyes slowly becoming dimmer, yet somehow full of life.
"Let me...return..." he wearily spoke. AJ felt confused. "Return? To where? The forest? The battlefield?" She was beginning to fear what Big Mac desired. However, Big Mac shook his head at her replies. A small smile appeared before her. "The apples...need to be harvested...Let me...return to...the farm..." Exhausted by the medication and fatigue, Big Mac closed his eyes and withdrew to a resting position. "Let me harvest them...while its still time..." AJ felt lost by her brother's words, but shook her head and pulled the blanket closer to cover him. "Just rest. If you don't...you won't be able to do the bucking this time..." She stood back and took up her watchful eye. |

^Days passed and soon Applejack and Big Macintosh returned home. A small party was held to celebrate his return. Unlike the time he came back from the war, coming back to the calls of "Murderer" and the like, he was given a hero's welcome. Only some ponies appeared, besides his immediate family, and the few friends AJ brought, including Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and even Fluttershy. The party lasted like any other, way until the night. When the last few ponies left, AJ and company parted ways. Pinkie Pie, ever curious, peered at Big Mac gazing at the moon.
"What'cha doin?" she asked hopping in her usual fashion. "Nothin'" he replied, still gazing. "Come on, wasn't today fun? I hope you had fun, because I sure did. I mean, if there's ever a party, I am sure going to be there having fun. Didn't you have fun huh? Did'ya, did'ya did'ya?" Big Mac didn't respond. Pouting, Pinkie Pie hopped into his line of vision. He slowly craned his neck down at the pink ball of energy. "Hey Big Mac, how come you never say much?" Big Mac paused and just gazed at Pinkie. Something about her made him ponder his own life, his own experiences. Images flashed before his mind, times when things made sense, the blood upon his hooves, dead comrades, harsh words, death. Gazing back at this random pony made him wonder if his take on life was correct. "Hellloooo? Big Macintosh? Anyone home?" Pinkie spurted playfully. Shaking his head, Big Mac replied. "Not much to say, I guess." "Oh" said the pink pony, a bit more calmed. "Well, there's no need to dig deeper I guess. You just gotta live your life, one big party at a time." "Like you?" replied Big Mac, now smiling. "Yyup." Soon, the pink pony hopped away into night. Big Mac, once again by himself, this time pondering the pony's words. AJ spotted her brother after helping Granny Smith into the house. Trotting slowly towards the red stallion, she was beginning to get nervous. In her eyes, his posture resembled the same one that faithful day. "You okay there Big Mac?" she asked quietly. As Big Mac turned towards her, AJ would see her brother in a new light, one she will never forget. His calm smile accented by the moonlight, mane and tail fluttering in the calm night air, his pupils filled with the life she thought had disappeared. "Eeyup" was all he said. It was her brother alright. Good 'ol Big Macintosh. -end |
