Season 3: Love Season

Episode 2 (32): Country Life (Applejack x Toby)

Last time we looked at what James and Rarity were up to one their first day, next up….

So the group walked off in different directions while the Mane 7 walk with their respective boyfriends. We're now taking a look at Applejack and Toby taking a ride in Big Mac's truck, after it was fixed when Diesel damaged it with his dark powers. They were heading to the farm.

Applejack: Thanks Big Mac, for offering to take us to the family farm.

Big Macintosh: No problem Applejack.

Toby: Man, life on the farm must be pretty sweet for you and your family, along with some of our friends enjoying farm work on your property.

Applejack: Sure is partner, life on the farm is a breeze. And you're gonna enjoy our time together on the farm.

So they continue their drive to the farm. Once they arrive, they get out and head to the house, where they were greeting by Granny Smith and the CHC.

Granny Smith: Applejack, my little girl. We've missed you so much.

Applejack: I sure missed ya two Granny, I missed all of you.

Scootaloo: I was telling everyone the whole story of you guys' battle with Midnight Sparkle and Timothy the Ghost Engine. And they were immediately surprised!

Mavis: The little squirt is right, you guys are real born heroes, especially you Toby.

Toby: Thanks Mavis, and I miss you.

Mavis: I miss you too old friend.

Applejack: Oh yeah, I remember you two are old friends back at your island.

Mavis: Mhm, we sure are.

Granny Smith: Applejack, if you don't mind, could you stay outside for a while, I need to tell Toby something important.

Applejack: Oh really, you sure you won't need my help for something.

Big Macintosh: Nope.

Granny Smith: Don't worry Applejack, you won't be gone for too long.

Applejack: Alright then, whatever you say Granny.

So Big Mac opened the door for Applejack, confused at first, but disregarded it as she headed outside the house. Big Mac closed the door and walked to where Granny, Toby, Mavis and the CHC are.

Toby: So, what's so important that you have to have Applejack leave the house?

Granny Smith: Well, young Toby, all of us are planning Applejack's birthday party right here on the farm and in the house and all of my family and your friends are in on it.

Toby: Are you serious?

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Mavis: Big Mac has told me that you and Applejack are a couple now, and I'm really proud of you.

Toby: Thanks Mavis, it means a lot to me.

Mavis: And to make it extra special, we thought of a song that's perfect for the party.

Apple Bloom: Mavis's right Toby, we've been hearing this very popular song all over the radio and we just can't get it out of our head. So we thought why not, I think it's perfect for the party.

Sweetie Belle: This suspense is killing me, when can we start the party!

Granny Smith: (Chuckles) Slow down youngin', we need to get the party set up first, before we get the music.

Sweetie Belle: Oh, alright.

Toby: What do I do?

Mavis: You, my friend, are surveying on how the party will look like.

Toby: Are you serious Mavis? I-I don't know if I can do it.

Mavis: Hey, look at me old friend, you can do this. I know you can and if your friends were here as well, they'll say you can do it as well.

Toby: Okay, I'll do it.

Mavis: That's the Toby I know and love.

Murdoch: If you're organizing a party, you're going to need some engine assistance.

They look to see Murdoch, Byron, Skarloey, Hank, Alfie, Scruff, Mightymac, Thumper, Brenda, Madge and Rocky, outside the side door.

Skarloey: Murdoch's right Toby, this job ain't big enough for just your group alone, no offense, but it'll be more efficient if we work as a team.

Toby: You're right Skarloey. Alright everyone, where's the checklist for her party.

Apple Bloom: Right here partner.

Toby looked at the checklist and saw the stuff they need for Applejack's party. They need the tablecloth, streamers, party supplies, food and the cake.

Toby: Okay, we need tablecloths, streamers, party supplies which includes cups, party hats, napkins, utensils and games, food and drinks, and the final piece de resistance, the cake.

Granny Smith: Leave the cake to me kiddo, I can handle that in no second flat.

Apple Bloom: Trust her Toby, she can handle anything along with the food and drinks.

Toby: Well, that takes care of that, all we need are the party supplies, streamers and the tablecloth.

Mavis: Why not us Sudrians head to the party store around the mall and hopefully find something that will suit Applejack's style.

Murdoch: Let's leave the Apples to take care of the food and drinks, they can take care of it.

Toby: Alright everyone, let's roll out, or in this case, walk over there. (Giggles)

Sweetie Belle: You probably got that line from a movie or something like that.

Toby: Anyways, let's get going everyone.

Everyone walked out of the house much to Applejack's confusion.

Applejack: What the hay is going on around here?

Big Macintosh: Nothing much.

Scootaloo: Sorry Applejack, you can't be allowed in the kitchen not at this time, you can hang around the farm but you can't come in the house.

Applejack: O-kay then, this is getting a little weird. But alright Scootaloo, I'll abide to what you say.

So Applejack left to go to the barn and when the door was closed, the CHC emerge.

Scootaloo: Applejack, taken care of.

Sweetie Belle: Perfect, Big Mac is also going to be making sure she doesn't try anything suspicious.

Apple Bloom: Awesome, let's help Granny with the food.

So the three walk to Granny to help her make the food. Meanwhile, Toby and the gang walk to the mall to find the items they need for Applejack's birthday party.

Toby: Okay, so we need to find streamers, tablecloths and party supplies.

Skarloey: Let's split up, that way we can cover more ground and find the supplies that we need.

Hank: You right about that partner.

Toby: Alright. For streamers, Madge, Brenda, Mightymac and Alfie. For tablecloths, Skarloey, Scruff, Hank and Rocky. And finally the other party supplies, Thumper, Murdoch, Mavis and I will take care of that.

Scruff: That's what I'm talking about!

Bradford: Let's move out soldiers.

So the groups raced off to find their respective items. Looking through the tablecloths, Skarloey, Scruff, Hank and Rocky were looking for a perfect tablecloth for the house.

Skarloey: Hmm, these cloths look good but what color does Applejack like?

Rocky: Hmm, she does like orange and all things cowboy and western.

Hank: She'll probably like it if we find items that are western.

Scruff: Now that's my kind of party, look over there, I have a feeling these piñatas could be useful, a horse or a cactus.

Hank: Umm, I'm feeling more for the cactus than the horse.

Scruff: Alrighty then Hank, piñata accounted for. Now what else we need?

Skarloey: Why not some orange utensils, napkins and party hats, western themed. I found some around here.

Scruff: Nice, I wonder how Applejack is holding up.

Back at the farm, Applejack was helping Big Mac load more hay bales on his tractor. She didn't mind, but she couldn't help but feel curious on what her Granny is doing.

Applejack: Hey Big Mac, got any clue on what Granny is doing?

Big Macintosh: Nope.

Applejack: Huh, then let me see if there's something she needs.

Big Macintosh: Uhh wait Applejack, there's more chores to be done around the farm and I could use your assistance for it.

Applejack: Umm okay then, if that makes ya feel any better.

Big Macintosh: Phew.

Meanwhile, as they were searching for their party decorations, Skarloey got a surprised from his old friends.

Rheneas: Whatcha looking at old friend.

Skarloey: What the?! Oh, it's you Rheneas, don't sneak up on me like that.

Rheneas: I didn't mean to scare you, these two told me to do it.

Skarloey: Who?

Rheneas: Sir Handel and Peter Sam, and for some reason Duncan wants to tag along while Rusty is helping Duke out at the boutique since Twilight is off with Edward.

Sir Handel: Are you kidding me dude? Why'd you rat us out?

Rheneas: Sorry, it was your idea to scare my friend to bits. So, naturally the blame falls to you.

Sir Handel: Whatever.

Peter Sam: Still it was funny at least.

Duncan: More like sorta funny if you ask me.

Peter Sam: I'm just gonna ignore what you say Duncan and focus on the part on what are you doing here in the party store Skarloey.

Skarloey: Well, I can't give too much away, but we're planning a surprise for Toby's girlfriend.

Peter Sam: Applejack?

Scruff: You got that right, and its top secret so you can't give it away.

Rheneas: Don't you worry old friend; we won't give too much away.

Skarloey: That's good, we'll hopefully see each other again sometime, see ya Rheneas.

Rheneas: See ya Skarloey, catch ya later.

So Rheneas and his friends leave Skarloey and his friends alone while they exit the store.

Skarloey: Okay, we got the party supplies, all we need now is a cart.

Hank: I'm sure the others have a cart in store with them to put our items in.

Another section of the store, Madge, Brenda, Mightymac and Alfie were getting streamers for Applejack's party.

Alfie: Hmm, all these streamers look good, but the orange we need for the western is almost nonexistent.

Madge: Not really nonexistent, there are other parts of the store that could have the necessary streamers we need for the party.

Jack: Mind if we help you look?

They turn to see Jack, Kelly, Buster, Nelson and Isobella approach the group.

Alfie: Oh, hi Jack.

Jack: Hey Alfie, so what're you guys up to?

Alfie: Well, we're with Toby trying to get party supplies for Applejack's birthday while her family is making sure, she doesn't suspect anything suspicious.

Kelly: It takes some serious sneakiness to keep a party a secret.

Jack: You got that right Kelly, I've heard from Sunset when she was in Ponyville that Pinkie had to keep a secret because Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are pregnant with their child.

Isobella: To tell you the truth honestly, it's quite hilarious seeing Pinkie Pie struggling to keep a secret, even if it was this Pinkie Pie as well.

Buster: It must be pretty hard for her to accomplish something like that.

Jack: Tell me about it Buster.

Alfie: So are you guys willing to help me out?

Nelson: Of course Alfie, we'll be happy to help.

Mightymac: Alright, let's do this!

So the group looked around to find the streamers they need for the party, meanwhile, Applejack was still helping Big Mac by feeding the chickens and the pigs.

Applejack: Phew, this much work is getting hotter than a wallaby in a desert.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Applejack: I could use a drink if that's okay with you.

Scootaloo: Got ya covered.

Applejack: Oh, thanks Scootaloo, that's a mighty fine thing you did.

Scootaloo: Hey, got to help out a fellow friend of mine whenever I came. Got to dash!

Big Macintosh: You continue your duties around the farm, I'll check in on Granny.

Applejack: Umm, sure I guess.

So Big Mac walked to the house, once Applejack is gone, he entered.

Granny Smith: Keeping dear old Applejack busy around the farm, Big Mac?

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Granny Smith: Good, might need your help around the kitchen.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Granny Smith: Girls, might need your help with the food and the ingredients for the cake.

Scootaloo, Apple Bloom & Sweetie Belle: Right away, ma'am! Right away, ma'am! Right away ma'am!

As the girls help Granny Smith, the others were looking for the streamers for the party.

Buster: Any luck?

Brenda: I found them. Bingo, orange western streamers for Applejack's party.

Nelson: Oh yeah, we got the streamers and I believe the others have already got the party supplies. All we need now is the tablecloths.

Thumper, Murdoch, Toby and Mavis were searching for the tablecloths they need until Mavis found the cloths they need.

Mavis: Hey Toby, found the cloths we need.

Toby: Nice, but are they western themed. We need those as well.

Mavis: Well, they're mostly orange. But I'm sure we'll find the western ones we need.

Thumper: Hey, we can't have a western party without cowboy hats, boots and clothing.

Toby: Hey, that's actually a good idea. Applejack will be so pleased when she sees the finished product.

Mavis: I'm sure she will be.

Murdoch: I'm sure we got the items we need for the party, let's meet up with the others.

So the three groups merged at the very front of the store, where the cashier spotted the group.

Cashier: Well then, if it isn't the famous Sudrians, what brings you to our fine establishment.

Toby: Well, Applejack's grandmother sent us here to get some party supplies for Applejack's birthday, normally Pinkie Pie would do this no problem but she's having a date with Percy right now. So we came here to find the items we need for the party.

Cashier: Well then, I'll be more than happy to have you guys get those items for free, in fact, I'll let you guys take them to Applejack's for free.

Toby: Thank you sir, that would be a huge help for help.

Cashier: No problem, you Sudrians are honored guests to be here since you arrived, you deserve it. Take care!

Toby: You too, come on gang.

So the group walked out of the store and are heading to Applejack's house. As they were heading to Applejack's house, they stumbled upon Bertie next to a bus stop drinking some soda. Until he saw the group coming towards him.

Bertie: Oh hello Toby, I see you have some of Applejack's buddies with you.

Toby: We need a ride to Applejack's place, because we have birthday supplies for her party.

Bertie: Really now, let's not waste any time. Hop on everyone. Wait, where's the food you guys brought?

Mavis: Granny Smith is doing the food.

Bertie: Oh, gotcha. Well then, let's roll.

So everyone boarded the bus and Bertie drove them to Applejack's establishment. Granny was outside making sure Applejack doesn't see them. Once the coast is clear, she signaled them to come forth. Meanwhile, Applejack was still working on the farm and she was slowly getting disappointed.

Applejack: (Sighs) Seems as though they want me to be excluded from the fun, I see how it is. Guess I'll just sit here and be alone.

So she sat down on a hay bale and stayed there. After some time, the house is decked out in party decorations and the food was prepared.

Granny Smith: This is absolutely perfect. Who picked out a song to get the party started?

Toby: I think I can sing it. Because, like the girls said, they heard the same song I've heard before and I think it works best.

Scootaloo: Oh yeah, alright, we'll hide and you get Applejack.

Toby: Alright Scootaloo.

So Toby walked out to find Applejack, he found her sitting at hay bale looking down on the ground. Wondering what's up, he walked over to her.

Toby: Hey Applejack.

Applejack: Oh, hi Toby.

Toby: What's wrong?

Applejack: (Sighs) Well partner, it's just that most of my family wants me to be very distant from them for some odd reason. I tried to figure out what they're up to, but they put me in the different direction every time. Probably they don't want me around them anymore.

Toby: Hey, it's not like that at all. Your family cares about you so much, they would never abandon you. Trust me from experience, remember I told you guys about my past before I joined the Steam Team. At first, I thought I lost all hope, but then, my controller bought me as my driver told me the news.

Applejack: Oh yeah, you did tell us that.

Toby: You know what'll be better for the both of us, why don't we head inside and see your family.

Applejack: Ya know partner, you're right. I shouldn't give up this easily. Let's give this one more try. Lead the way, Toby.

Toby: Right this way.

So Toby led Applejack to the side entrance of the house.

Toby: Okay, I need you wait out here for a bit, and when you hear my voice, you come in while you're closing your eyes.

Applejack: Umm, okay, I trust you Toby.

Toby: Good, I'll call you when I'm ready.

Toby went inside leaving Applejack outside, after a couple of minutes, Toby called for Applejack.

Toby: You can come in now.

So Applejack went inside the house and it was dark, so she couldn't see, before she continued forward, the lights flicked on and everyone yelled "Surprise, Happy Birthday Applejack!" Her eyes were as wide as the apples they grow. Soon, Toby came down the stairs with a microphone in hand and Big Mac playing a guitar as they're heading downstairs.

BG Music: Old Town Road- Lil Nas X (Toby singing)

Toby:

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match
Ridin' on a horse, ha
You can whip your truck
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off that porch, now

Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

Everyone was cheering for Toby's performance and Applejack was the most cheerful out of all of them.

Toby: So, what do you think Applejack?

Applejack: Is-Is this why you don't want me in the house, was it because you guys are setting up a surprise party for me, for my birthday.

Mavis: It sure is Applejack, and Toby was the one who orchestrated everything to make it just right for you guys to enjoy, especially you Applejack.

Apple Bloom: Happy birthday, big sister!

Applejack: I-I don't know what to say. Thank you everyone, especially you Toby.

She rushed to Toby and picked him up. She gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Applejack: Thank you Toby for putting this together for me, thank you so much Toby.

Toby: You're welcome Applejack.

The two remained locked in arms for the remaining minute, after that, the party began. Let's see how our next couple fairs next time….
