A/N: I understand, online brother, I really do. Onward!


Winter Wrap Up: Deleted Scene 3: What SHOULD'VE Happened After Applejack Scolded Twilight and Made Her Cry!/Even MORE Insanity With Mayor Mare!

*Anyone else feel as if the writers of this episode decided to unexplainably make poor Twilight a one-time-only jinx suffering from bad luck just like Irwin the Penguin from the Timon and Pumbaa episode "Frantic Atlantic" (which apparently seems to be the only episode on Youtube remastered and in HD left along with "The Pain In Spain")? Because for some reason, no matter how hard she tries on her very first Winter Wrap Up, everything seems to somehow keep unexplainably going horribly wrong. How bad have things gotten as of right now? Pfft. Take a guess.*


Applejack: (poking her head out of some snow that had buried them after a certain snowplough caused a somewhat major avalanche by crashing into a hillside) Nuts, Twilight! (Spits out some snow) You used magic, didn't you?

Twilight Sparkle: I...uh...

Spike: (hypocritically) I know, right? The NERVE of her! Can you believe she'd do such a thing like this?

Twilight Sparkle: (responds with understandable anger) WHAT?!

Spike: (flinches) EEK!

Sunrise Blossom: (sensing an inevitable agrument) Uh oh.

Twilight Sparkle: Spike, I don't know what upsets me more. That you're choosing to side with Applejack like some sort of HYPOCRITE just so you don't get the blame for something that YOU kept telling me to do OVER and OVER again, or that you actually thought this pathetic idea of yours that you've been PESTERING me about all through the day would actually WORK when it DIDN'T!

Sunrise Blossom: (turns to glare at Spike) So, my suspicions about your so called "advice" you gave my sister WERE correct after all. Spike, answer me honestly. DID you tell Twilight to use magic? Even though you know very well that magic ISN'T used here in Ponyville?

Spike: (hangs his head in shame) Yes. Yes, I did. I'm sorry. I just thought if Twilight used her magic, it could wrap up everything more quickly. But I was wrong.

Applejack: Uh, YEAH! Ya THINK?!

Sunrise Blossom: (tries to calm her down) Now, Applejack, please, calm down. You don't want to make this situation any more worse than it already is.

Applejack: (slowly losing her temper) "Any MORE worse"?! "ANY MORE WORSE"?! (Points to the fields) Just look at all these fields now! It's gonna take even LONGER to get all that snow off them...again! What could be more worse than THAT?! Why, ah'm so mad, at this point, ah don't even CARE who's to blame for this disaster! (Turns angrily to Twilight) Ah'm sorry, Twilight! Really, ah am! But this is NOT how we do things 'round here, sugarcube! And especially...NOT! ON! MAH! FARM!

Sunrise Blossom: (gasps and covers her mouth with her hooves in shock)

Twilight Sparkle: (feeling horrible as tears brim in her eyes) Well, see, I just wanted to...(digs herself out of the snow and flees) Oh! (begins crying as she runs away)

Sunrise Blossom: (runs after her) Twilight, wait! Please, come back! It was just an accident! You were only trying to help! You didn't mean for this to happen! Applejack just lost her temper!

Twilight Sparkle: (still crying) Oh, just leave me alone, Sunrise! I don't need you showing me that you and the rest of our friends can do anything while I can't seem to do ANYTHING AT ALL! (Runs even further away while crying until she is completely out of sight)

Sunrise Blossom: (just stops and stares at her depressed sister with a few tears of her own) T-twilight? (Continues staring until her mood changes from sad to angry) Well, Applejack, I hope you're happy!

Applejack: (confused as Sunrise walks back to her) Wait, what?

Sunrise Blossom: Yes, Applejack! I'm talking to you!

Applejack: Me? Ah didn't do nothin' wrong! Twi's the one who broke tradit...

Sunrise Blossom: (suddenly shouting) IT! WAS! AN! ACCIDENT!

Applejack: (flinches) EEP! (Begins backing herself into a corner nervously) B-b-b-but...

Sunrise Blossom: (still continuing her rant) No, AJ! I don't want another word out of it! You made my sister cry and nopony, I repeat, NOPONY makes my only sister cry!

Applejack: (gulps)

Sunrise Blossom: (begins calming down a bit) And besides, let's not forget whose idea it was to have Twilight use magic in the first place even though it was apparently against the rules, hmm? (Glares at Spike again)

Applejack: (still struggling to get her words out) B-b-b-but...the tradition! The no using magic law! A-a-and M-Mayor Mare's orders...

Sunrise Blossom: (still not dropping the subject) What's more important right now, AJ? This stupid Winter Wrap Up tradition or my sister's feelings?

Applejack: (takes a moment to choose her next words carefully) But...ah ain't the one who came up with Winter Wrap Up and it's rules in the first place!

Sunrise Blossom: Then, who IS?

Applejack: (just takes a wild guess) Um...m-maybe the mayor?

Sunrise Blossom: (thinks for a moment) Hmm. Well, in that case, I guess I'd better go over to her office and have a little chat with her and see if you're right. And by the looks of things right now, I should probably hurry before Twilight's depression gets worse. (Runs off to find Mayor Mare) Honestly, what is UP with everypony as of lately? (Voice gets quieter as she gets further away) What, is it because of Trixie that everypony's now against unicorn magic like my sister had once feared? Geez, I'm starting to feel like my friends just can't be trusted anymore. And they're supposed to be the Elements of HARMONY?! Sheesh!

*Applejack is still left behind with Spike in the pile of snow, both stunned and confused at what had just transpired.*

Applejack: (getting worried) Spike, please, tell me Sunrise is wrong. Ah wasn't that hard on Twi, was I?

Spike: Well, you definitely didn't say anything nice to her. That's for sure. And besides, didn't we already let it slip that Twilight using magic was all MY fault to begin with? So, why scold HER too? Seriously, Applejack, what is WRONG with you today?

Applejack: (feels as if her heart would split in two) Oh, why should ah even bother tryin' to deny it? When you're right, you're right, Spike. Ah WAS too hard on poor Twilight. She was only just trying to help out and what do ah do? Ah get mad at her for no reason! (Begins to cry) What have ah done? (Begins to bawl) AH'M SO STUPID! (Continues bawling)

Spike: (does his best to comfort her) There, there, Applejack. You're not stupid. You just made a bad decision the same as I did which caused all this in the first place. If anyone's stupid as of this particular moment right now, it's me. I'd say we both go find Twilight and and apologise to her for BOTH our mistakes. How does that sound?

Applejack: (sniffs and dries her eyes) O-okay.

Spike: Good. Now, let's go. (Runs off to find Twilight with Applejack slowly following behind, still in tears)


*Meanwhile back at the center of the town where we last saw Mayor Mare, Sunrise Blossom has finally arrived and has calmed down somewhat as she is now starting to have second thoughts on how she treated Applejack earlier. But then, in some way, AJ kinda brought it upon herself. That and Sunrise was only trying to be protective of her sister as this is probably the first time one of her only FRIENDS had made her cry. Still, she can't help but feel a little guilty about letting her anger get the better of her the same way Applejack did. So, she decides that as soon as she's finished chatting with the mayor, she'll go back and apologise to her. Meanwhile inside the town hall and...wherever the heck Mayor Mare keeps her office, Mayor Mare herself is, you guessed it, counting all the bits/money that she collected from everypony after they payed for all the Winter Wrap Up stuff. And she probably would've continued on doing that if there wasn't a sudden knock at her door.*

Mayor Mare: (groans) Ugh! Why now? Why NOW of all times? Doesn't anypony here know how BUSY I am in here? (The knocking continues) Yes, yes. Hold your horses. I'm coming. (Opens the door) Yes?

Sunrise Blossom: Madame Mayor, may I please have a quick word with you?

Mayor Mare: (mood changes to fake happiness) Ah, Miss Blossom! Of course, you can! Why, it's always a pleasure to have a friendly little conversation with one of my money maker-uh, I mean friends! Please, come inside! Have a seat! Make yourself at home! Want some tea? One lump or two? By the way, how are things going with the fields? Tell me ALL about it and don't leave out any details! (Sits back behind her counter)

Sunrise Blossom: (takes a seat in front of the counter) Well, that's the thing I kinda came here to talk to you about, Mayor. Unfortunatley, things haven't exactly turned out too well. Twilight used magic and it caused a bit of conflict. And by conflict, I mean it got Applejack pretty mad at her and...well, she raised her voice at her and it hurt her feelings REALLY badly.

Mayor Mare: Twilight Sparkle using magic, eh? Now, why am I somehow not surprised by all of this?

Sunrise Blossom: And then, I started getting angry at Applejack for making my sister cry like that and asked her if tradition was more important than feelings and she told me that she wasn't the one who came up with this "no magic allowed" rule in the first place. So then, I asked her who was and she said maybe it was you and...well, now, I'm here.

Mayor Mare: Wow. Motormouth much?

Sunrise Blossom: Look, I'm just curious as to why unicorn magic isn't allowed or used in every Winter Wrap Up since there are a NUMBER of unicorns living here in Ponyville.

Mayor Mare: But why?

Sunrise Blossom: I don't know. I thought maybe if you told me, then I could go and tell Twilight in hopes that I might hopefully make her feel somewhat better in case she was as curious as I am to know about all this. What did you think?

Mayor Mare: (sighs) You really want to know THAT badly?

Sunrise Blossom: Yes.

Mayor Mare: Well, if I must, then I must. (Lets out another sigh) First things first though, I'd better make it clear that for once, this "no magic" law DOESN'T have anything to do with making any extra money whatsoever.

Sunrise Blossom: (confused) It doesn't?

Mayor Mare: No. Believe it or not, it's always been traditional to not use magic. I once asked my grandfather the exact same question you had just asked me, Sunrise.

Sunrise Blossom: And what did HE say?

Mayor Mare: Well, he said that when his great grandfather was mayor of Ponyville many years ago and the first unicorns moved here, they did try to use magic to get Winter Wrap Up done, but it caused so much trouble, that it was decided by everypony, including unicorns, that magic wouldn't be used.

Sunrise Blossom: (unsure how to react) Gosh! I...I never knew that. But I suppose in a way, it...kinda makes sense if magic caused problems instead of solving them.

Mayor Mare: Only at that time. Magic helps other ways. Just not with Winter Wrap Up. Now, is there anything else you need to ask me or is that it?

Sunrise Blossom: (gets up from her seat) No. I think that'll be all. Thank you for clearing all that up for me, Madame Mayor.

Mayor Mare: Anytime, Miss Sunrise. Anytime. (Suddenly shouting) NOW, GET BACK TO WORK!

Sunrise Blossom: (flinches) EEK! Right away, ma'am! Bye! (Quickly leaves the office and slams the door)


*Back outside the town hall where ponies are working on removing the snow and ice from the trees and buildings, just as Sunrise leaves the building, she stumbles across Spike and Applejack who are both searching for Twilight.*

Sunrise Blossom: Applejack, Spike? What are you two doing?

Applejack: (jumps guiltily) Uh, well, (she sighs) I was looking for Twilight to apologize to her for what I did earlier, Sunrise. You were right, I shouldn't have yelled at her like that.

Spike: And I shouldn't have encouraged Twilight to use magic when it isn't suppose to be used, that's on me.

Sunrise Blossom: I get it AJ, and I now know why magic isn't used during Winter Wrap up.

Applejack: You do?

Sunrise Blossom: (nods) Yes, Mayor Mare told me that during her great grandfather time, unicorns did try to use magic for winter wrap up and it caused trouble.

Twilight Sparkle: (who is in a nearby bush, pokes her head out) Really? That's why magic isn't used?

Applejack: (jumps) Whoa! Twilight! I'm so sorry for yelling at you earlier, I shouldn't have done that, Twi, I really shouldn't have.

Twilight Sparkle (comes out of the bush) I understand, Applejack, and I accept your apology. (She and Applejack hugs)
