Season 3: Love Season

Episode 11 (41): Fruits of their Labor (Applejack x Toby)

After sometime, the Mane 7 and their boyfriends have had a successful first day on their dates. In Applejack's farm, Toby, Big Mac and Mavis were resting up against a work shed while drinking Granny's cider. They had a blast celebrating Applejack's birthday and now she's very happy with Toby for doing this for her.

Mavis: I'm very proud of you Toby, you've really made Applejack very proud and now, she loves you more than ever for what you did for her.

Toby: What can I say, I have to do something for Applejack, no matter what it is.

Mavis: Those are some true words Toby, true words indeed my friend.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Toby: Now I wanna know what else this world has to offer, I've already made Applejack happy with how the birthday went. I wonder what else we can do.

Scootaloo: We could host an annual bucking bull ring.

Mavis: No, that's way too dangerous. Besides bulls are no joke, they can gore, trample and may even kill you.

Scootaloo: Dang it, I thought it will up the coolness factor.

Apple Bloom: Hmm, could we somehow do a western dance party?

Toby: Hmm, that would be a good idea, but we need to arrange the speakers, find the music and set up the lights, which will take way too long to do.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Mavis: Plus, Big Mac is all tuckered out from partying too much, probably from all the cider you drank.

Big Macintosh: Hey!

Mavis: Hey, I'm just pulling your leg Big Mac. Hmm, but what else can we do to make this day super special.

Applejack: Might I suggest something that might get your minds working?

Sweetie Belle: Probably, 'cause we're stumped.

Applejack: I think all of us should do a horse race across a track that's right across from the barn.

Toby: You know, that's actually a really good idea.

Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom & Scootaloo: Why didn't we think of that?! Why didn't we think of that?! Why didn't we think of that?!

Applejack: (Laughs) I appreciate you little tikes for helping come up with awesome ideas. And they're not bad, just a bit too risky around these here parts. But a horse race could be just the thing to make this rodeo fly even more.

Toby: Do you know why I like you so much Applejack, it's because of your great ideas and your know-how.

Applejack: (Blushes) Aww, thanks sugarcube. And the same goes for you too, Toby, my old partner of mine. (Kisses his cheek)

Mavis: Now that's just cute, don't ya think.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Toby: Now the horse race is an amazing idea, but we still need to set up the track so that way it can be safe for both the horses and the others racing.

Mavis: Why don't we use the tractor to haul some hay bales to the areas we need to make sure no one gets hurt.

Applejack: Now that's an excellent idea Mavis. Now then, let's get this race track started up! Toby, might need you for a second if you don't mind.

Toby: Sure Applejack, I'll be with you guys in a second.

Mavis: Alright Toby, don't be long.

So Mavis led Big Mac and the CMCs to the barn to get the tractor, while Applejack leads Toby into the house to discuss something.

Toby: So, what is it that you want to talk about with me?

Applejack: Well, the reason why I called you over here is of all the times you were there to help out around the farm, helping me and organizing my birthday. I just can't thank you enough for all you did for everyone and even me, you're just the sweetest guy I can ever have in my life. (Sniffles) I just love you so much Toby.

Toby: Aww, thanks Applejack. Come here.

The two approached each other and wrapped their arms as Applejack starts tearing up on his shoulders. The two remained embraced for some time until they looked at each other. They soon lean in for their first kiss on the lips. They break and look at each other.

Toby: You'll always be my cowgirl Applejack, until the very end.

Applejack: Same here partner, you'll always be my cowboy.

They soon have one final kiss before letting go of their hug. But then, Applejack went to a desk and brought out some invitations to attend the horse race.

Applejack: Toby, I need you to do me one special job that I know you won't fail.

Toby: What's the job Applejack?

Applejack: These here are invitations for certain friends of ours that are attending the race. I have my special group of horses inside the barn that are prime race horses. So, all we need Toby is the racers. So I need you to deliver these invitations to your friends that will take part in the race.

Toby: Don't worry Applejack, I won't let you down.

Applejack: I know you won't Toby. (Kisses his cheek) Do me proud.

So Toby walked out of the house with the invitations at hand to deliver them to the required guests. So first up, he hopped on a bus to a supply shop where Boco has been doing part-time.

Toby: Hello, Boco, you there?

Boco: Hello Toby, I'm there. What is it that you need?

Toby: Long time no see, old friend. The reason I came here is that I'm sending out invitations for some of our friends to attend Applejack's horse race on her farm. And you're one of them.

Boco: Really, wow, I'm almost flattered. Well, once my shift is over, I'll be over there in due time.

Sandalwood: Wow Boco dude, this horse race you're attending must be totally wicked!

Boco: (Chuckles) You're not wrong about that. I'll see you Toby at the race when my shift is over.

Toby: Alright Boco, well, I'm off to deliver more invitations to more of our friends. See ya.

So Toby went out and walked towards another location where he can find Murdoch and Arthur. He soon found them at an outside bar with two more friends of theirs.

Toby: Hello Murdoch, Arthur, what are you guys doing here?

Arthur: We're just hanging around, enjoying the sites that this world has to offer, along with meeting these two: Bulk Biceps and Timber Spruce.

Bulk Biceps: Yeah!

Toby: I see.

Timber Spruce: Don't worry about Bulk here, he's like this whenever he flexes his muscles.

Toby: I can see, also I have invitations for you Timber, Arthur and Murdoch.

Murdoch: Invitations, for what exactly?

Toby: Applejack is hosting an annual horse race in her farm and wants racers to attend it, and wants you three to attend the race.

Timber Spruce: Really, us?

Toby: Yep.

Murdoch: Well, never thought I imagine myself riding a horse for a race. But I'll see what I can do.

Arthur: Same here, don't worry Toby, we'll be there.

Toby: Good, I'll be delivering more invitations to the others, see you there.

So Toby raced off to find the others. While waiting at a crosswalk, he noticed Lightning, Connor and Caitlin coming in on their motorcycles.

Toby: Well then, speak of the devil, just the people I was looking for.

Connor: Hey there Toby, what brings you around these parts?

Toby: Well Connor, I'm glad you asked, Applejack asked me to send out invitations to a horse race that the Apple Family along with myself are hosting and we were in need of racers to race at the event.

Caitlin: And you want us to race the horses at the race?

Toby: Exactly, if you're interested.

Lightning Dust: Of course we'll be interested in participating in this horse race you and Applejack are planning. Pass up the invitations my man.

So Toby handed the invitations to Lightning, Connor and Caitlin.

Connor: Thanks Toby, we'll meet you at the race.

So Connor, Lightning and Caitlin raced off as Toby continued his journey. Along the way, he went to the local fire department where Belle and Flynn are stationed at, they were cleaning the fire department's trucks when Toby arrived.

Belle: Well, well, look what we have here Flynn.

Flynn: Hiya Toby, what brings you around here?

Toby: Well, I got two things to say: One, Applejack has sent out invitations to attend a horse race that we're preparing and you two are invited to be some of the racers.

Flynn: Really? Wow, I never thought I be attending a horse race, let alone be a racer.

Belle: This should be a new experience for sure.

Toby: And two, since when did you started working at the fire department, since you're already in the Sodor Search and Rescue Center.

Flynn: We are, but we decided to chip in and help, so they promoted us as part-time firefighters.

Toby: Oh, okay, so you're okay with attending a horse race.

Belle: Of course we will Toby, once we finished cleaning this fire truck, we'll head over there.

Toby: Perfect, all I need is two others and then I'll head over to the farm.

Flynn: See ya around Toby.

As he walking towards the direction of the farm, he noticed Duck and Oliver talking with Big Mac about something. Curious, he heads over there.

Toby: Big Mac, what are you doing here with Duck and Oliver.

Big Macintosh: Oh, umm, Applejack wanted some position placers for the race and suggested Duck and Oliver for the job.

Toby: Really? I didn't know that. So you guys are heading to the farm?

Duck: We certainly are, this is certainly going to be a lot of fun, right Oliver.

Oliver: You're right Duck, loads of fun, we'll meet you at the farm Toby.

Toby: Alright then, see ya guys.

So Duck and Oliver got in Big Mac's truck and drove off, while Toby tries to find the last remaining guests for the invitations he had in his hands. He soon found them at a juice bar, Rosie and Hank.

Toby: There they are. Morning Rosie, Hank, lovely day we're having right.

Rosie: You can say that Toby, you're looking cheerful today, what's got you all springy.

Toby: Well, glad you asked, Applejack and I are doing an annual horse race and she sent me to pass out invitations for the racers she required to participate in the race, and you two are one of them.

Hank: Well I'll be; I'm actually looking forward to riding a horse for my bucket list. Just because I talk like a cowboy, doesn't I get to be like one.

Rosie: (Chuckles) Good one Hank. So, we're racers for a horse race. I'm sure this will be a big surprise for us.

Hank: You said it partner, we'll be over there in no second flat.

Toby: Okay, I'll see you guys at the farm.

So Toby walked off to the direction of the farm, it was a long walk for Toby to get to the farm but Toby didn't mind. He soon reached the farm, he was so tired he had to put his hand on an apple tree to catch his breath.

Toby: (Pants) Phew, that was a very long walk. I'm almost out of breath. But I made it, hopefully they're still setting up the race.

Applejack: Howdy Toby, my, you look tuckered out. Did you take the long way to get there?

Toby: Well, you can sort of say that, I had to walk to get there.

Applejack: That must've been a lot of exercise, I'm impressed Toby. Come on sugarcube, I'll carry you.

So she grabbed Toby and put him on her back.

Toby: Giddy up, ride 'em cowboy!

Applejack: (Laughs) You funny jokester, let's get a move on.

So they walked towards the barn, seeing some of their friends getting acquainted with their race horses.

Applejack: Once they arrived at the barn, we each need to let them get used to their race horse partner in a little close bonding. Man, I wish Fluttershy were here, she can do this with no problem. But we gotta go by farmer's tuition.

Toby: I don't blame you Applejack, Fluttershy will be a good help but she's with Henry on her special date. Besides, you guys are practically masters with certain farm animals.

Applejack: Well, you're right about one thing Toby, we farmers sure know how to handle our livestock. Thanks Toby you're the best. (Kisses his cheek)

Toby: (Blushes) Aww, you're welcome Applejack.

Duck: Hey, there you two are. Where's the spot for us to place the racers in their respective positions in this race.

Applejack: It should be around the center in the inside of the track.

Oliver: Thanks you two, this race is going to be loads of fun.

Duck: You said it.

Toby: So I guess we go to where they are right?

Applejack: You said it partner, Big Mac and Granny Smith will take care of the horses.

Granny Smith: You said it Applejack, we even found some spare cowboy and girl hats for the racers. You can't be a horse rider without a genuine cowboy and cowgirl hat.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Applejack: Totally agree with you there Granny, those will be perfect for them. But how did you get the hay bales set up on the safety zones?

Mavis: We had some help with Murdoch, Big Mac and Hank.

Big Macintosh, Murdoch & Hank: Eeyup! Eeyup! Eeyup! (Chuckles)

Applejack: (Laughs) I just love those guys. Come on Toby, let's help Duck and Oliver.

Toby: You got it partner.

Applejack: (Chuckles)

Granny Smith: You got yourself a lucky pal Applejack, you two are perfect for each other.

Applejack: Thanks Granny.

So after some time, they managed to get the race up and running. With the help of Big Mac and Granny, they help their friends onto their race horses and led them to the starting line.

Granny Smith: This here race is going to be sweet.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Rosie: Can you believe it, we're doing a horse race for the first time, how awesome is that!

Belle: I agree with you Rosie; this will be awesome.

Once the horses are situated behind the starting line, while Applejack, Toby, Duck and Oliver were watching from the center until Applejack grabbed a megaphone to announce the race.

Applejack: Alright partners, welcome to our one and only annual horse race on the Apple Farm. There's no overall prize at the end of the race. It's just a race to have fun. So play fair and don't try to sabotage the competition. When the megaphone blares out, it's the signal for you to race on.

Duck & Oliver: On your mark….

Toby: Get set….

Applejack: Go!

The megaphone blared out and the horses raced off down the track. The CMCs, Big Mac, Granny, Mavis, Duck & Oliver, Applejack and Toby cheered for the racers. Everyone was watching the race in anticipation, while Toby and Applejack took the time to talk to each other.

Toby: You know Applejack; we've had some good times when we were staying in your world. You know that.

Applejack: You're right about that partner, I remember you were trying to impress me saying you "were strong", but you soon told me the truth, and after that, I still like you to this day even when you return to Sodor.

Toby: Same here, even coming back here when our vacation just started, I still like you to this day and now you're my girlfriend, I could've asked for anything better.

Applejack: Now that I can totally agree with you on there partner. (Kisses his cheek)

Toby: I love you Applejack.

Applejack: I love you too partner.

They wrapped their arms around each other and their cheeks pressed against each other. After some time, around the final lap, the race was still underway. While the race was continuing, Granny, Big Mac, Mavis and the CMCs were preparing delicious cider for everyone when the race is over.

Mavis: This cider that you made for everyone will surely be a kick for everyone that takes a sip.

Granny Smith: You're darn right. Throughout my family generation, my famous apple cider has been there since the very beginning. Some say I should stop, but nope, I'm still kicking and I won't stop until the day I die.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

Mavis: I would like to one day open a juice bar of my very own on day in the future.

Granny Smith: I think you should missy, no one will stop you from accomplishing your dream. Ooh, the race is about to end!

And sure enough, the racers ran through the finish line. Duck and Oliver were busy analyzing who won and putting the racers in their place. After that, all the racers guided their race horses towards their stables. Once back to their homes, they leap off their horses and head to the cider stall to get a refreshing drink.

Rosie: Whoo, man, what a rush. Now that was an experience I will never forget.

Arthur: You got that right.

Soon enough, Duck and Oliver arrived with the results.

Duck: Alright everyone, it seems as though we calculated the results and with my hawk eyes, I managed to put down the placements with the assistance of Oliver.

Oliver: Thank you Duck, now for 11th Place is Timber Spruce, followed by in 10th Place is Boco, a very good effort for you guys.

Boco: Now that I agree. At least we tried our best.

Timber Spruce: You're right, we've tried our best.

Oliver: Now in 9th Place is Belle, followed by 8th Place is Arthur.

Belle: Huh, nice job overtaking me Arthur, not many engines can go at that speed.

Arthur: Thanks Belle.

Oliver: Now for 7th Place is Hank, followed by Flynn in 6th Place and Connor in 5th Place.

Flynn: Whoa, now that's amazing. I mean, I could try to go faster, but don't want to have my horse careen off course.

Hank: You said it partner.

Connor: 5th Place, huh, I thought I was faster than that. I mean, who passed me?

Oliver: This is actually a shock for all of you guys. Murdoch came in at 4th Place and around the top three, Rosie came in at 3rd Place!

Timber Spruce, Boco, Belle, Arthur, Flynn, Hank & Connor: What?! What?! What?! What?! What?! What?! What?!

Rosie: Are you serious, me at the top three! This is absolutely incredible!

Murdoch: I'm actually surprised. Good job Rosie.

Rosie: Thanks Murdoch.

Oliver: Now, we're down to the remaining two, in 2nd Place, we have Caitlin and in 1st Place is Lightning Dust!

Everyone cheered for the two racers, even Caitlin and Lightning fist bumped after hearing their placement.

Caitlin: Good job Lightning Dust, I was a hair shorter to overtake you.

Lightning Dust: You weren't too bad yourself Caitlin, but hey, the horse race isn't about winning, it's about having fun. And I enjoyed every bit of it.

Applejack: You got that right Lightning partner.

Scootaloo: Applejack!

Applejack: What's up Scootaloo?

Scootaloo: We just got a call from Rarity from Sweetie Belle's phone and it said that you and Toby need to head over to the park for an important meeting with you girls and the Steam Team. Look for the shiny red Corvette and that's where you'll find them.

Toby & Applejack: Shiny red Corvette? Shiny red Corvette?

Toby: Oh boy, what has James gotten himself into this time?

Applejack: We better check it out and see for ourselves. Yo Big Mac, care to drop us off at the park.

Big Macintosh: Eeyup.

So Applejack and Toby hopped inside Big Mac's truck and drove off, leaving the others to celebrate Lightning's victory. Once they arrived, Applejack and Toby got out and they were surprised when they see James's new car. As Big Mac drove off, the two approached the group.

Toby: Huh, you weren't kidding when you said James got himself a new car.

Henry: That's what I said, hi Applejack and Toby, welcome.

Toby: Hello Henry, so this is everyone we got so far.

James: Yeah, you got that right Toby, we just got to wait for Edward, Percy, Thomas, Sunset, Pinkie and Twilight before we initiate this meeting.

Rarity: So, all we can do for this point is wait for the others to come.

Fluttershy: I hope they don't take too long, otherwise the day will be over.

Rainbow Dash: Are you kidding Fluttershy? We got tomorrow to get this group date started, so I think we got plenty of time for them to get here.

Gordon: Still, let's hope they do get here in time, otherwise we'll have to search for them.

Applejack: I don't think we'll start a search party for the others if they take their dates too long. But hey, at least we'll talk about how our dates went.

Rarity: I'm so down for that darling.

So the group huddled together to talk about their second dates, while waiting for the others. To be continued….
