This is a ponified version of a story I wrote a while ago.
This includes OCs as well as Canon ponies.
This story is only meant for entertainment.
IF you actually harpoon people and bring them to an uncharted island and make them play a deadly game for the win, I will be QUITE disappointed in you.
SO, YEAH.
THANKS.
The clouds above Ponyville floated peacefully.
The sky was a light blue, like it was supposed to be.
Nothing seemed out of place.
Applejack trotted through the market, as usual, with saddlebags full of apples, trying to sell at least five or six.
She saw Twilight Sparkle sitting at a table, the umbrella overhead shading the book she was reading.
"Hey, Twilight! Whatcha readin'?"
"Hello, Applejack. I was just reading up on the science behind emotional trust. It's pretty fascinating, how your brain can will itself to lay burdens on others without doubting their ability."
"Sure, yeah, sounds interesting."
"I never knew that ponies build up biases based on their experience and trusts. I thought it was just something you believed."
"Yup..."
"And to think that your mind can hold, like, a terabyte of memory... Of course, I've found hard drives online that can hold up to five-"
"GREAT, that's great, Twilight. Hey, uh, what's a hard drive?"
"A hard drive is the space on a computer-"
"Ok, never mind."
"Ok!"
Applejack kept walking. What's a computer?
She stopped at Sugarcube Corner to grab a little Sundae. Pinkie Pie bounced up to the counter, with a smile wider than... her face.
Applejack looked at the menu above her. She decided on an Applicious Chocolate Sundae. Seemed nice.
"Heya, Pinkie. Could I get-"
"-An Applicious Chocolate Sundae? SURE!"
"Thanks."
Pinkie bounced away, and at the same time, Applejack reached for the Sundae that would be in her hands in a matter of nanoseconds.
Just as Applejack reached all the way, Pinkie placed her sundae on her hoof, and Applejack took it. She pulled four bits out from her bag.
"Thanks, Applejack! Have a WONDERFUL day!"
"I will, no worries!"
Applejack went outside, the bell on the door dinging behind her. She picked a spot in the shade, and licked at her ice cream.
She squinted in the sunlight. Something darted through the sky, punching through clouds faster than anything she'd ever seen. Well, she'd seen it alright.
The blue Pegasus shot towards her friend at a speed nopony dared to go.
Over the speed limit.
However, when she got close to the ground, she slowed her flight and landed slowly.
"Applejack! Wussup?"
"Hi, Rainbow. I'm just eatin' a sundae. Worth four bits, if ya ask me."
Rainbow Dash nodded her head in approval. "Sweet. Well, I was just eatin' a cloud. It tasted like water. It was worth the extra feet, you know?"
"Stay hydrated, my friend."
"I will! Gotta Dash!"
"Bye!"
Rainbow zoomed away, as fast as she had come.
Applejack finished her sundae and ate the corn based cone. She looked around. Nopony anywhere in sight.
She got up and cantered toward Fluttershy's house. She lived on the edge of the Everfree Forest in a small cottage. As she passed the Carousel Boutique, she saw Rarity inside, holding her cat, Opal, above her head, while she lay on the floor.
The bell on the door dinged.
Rarity got up very fast.
"Hi, Rarity!"
"Hi, uh, Applejack! Aren't you looking... nice, today!"
"Thanks! I reckon I never knew you played with your cat, like that, Rarity."
"OH! THAT! Yes, I was measuring her! Yes! And... she was hard... to... measure! What a day..."
"What a day, indeed. You have a nice day, ok?"
"Thank you, Applejack! You too!"
The door closed.
Rarity looked at Opal.
Fluttershy was in her house, cooking a stew. It smelled nice. Angel, her pet bunny, was bouncing in circles.
Applejack arrived at Fluttershy's, and looked in the window. She knocked on the door.
Fluttershy jumped, throwing her spoon and squeaking very loudly. Angel looked up.
A few seconds passed, then she came to the door.
"Hello?"
"Sorry I scared you, Fluttershy."
"Oh, it's ok. You didn't mean to. Come inside, I made stew."
"Oh, great! Thanks!"
"Of course. Have a seat."
Applejack sat down on the sofa. She noticed a picture, drawn with crayons, of Fluttershy and Angel.
"Who drew that?" Asked Applejack, pointing to the picture.
"Oh, your sister drew that for me. It was for my birthday two years ago."
"Cute."
She was served some stew. She took a sip, and never forgot it.
"DAMN."
"Is it good?"
"Very, Flutters! Good job!"
"Thank you..." she blushed.
Applejack and Fluttershy spent the evening together. They talked about their friends, their lives, and the recent events.
When it got to be around 8:00, Applejack left.
She walked back to her house.
When she got home, it was 8:30. She went upstairs and got ready for bed.
As she started to fall asleep, she swore she could hear the low hum of an engine.
Well, she set that aside.
So! How was that for a first chapter?
I make it cheery... then... it's not so cheery.
What engine?
Question: What story references this one?
R&R!
Thanks!
