Applejack and her elder Brother, Big MacIntosh, who liked to be called Big Mac, sat on the edge of their boundaries. Big Mac gave his sister a pinch.

"Happy Friendship Games!" he cried. "Remember?"

"Oh, yeh," replied Applejack. "Aren't we goin' ter see who's been picked? It's in 2 minutes."

"Gosh, you're right, AJ!" cried, Big Mac.


"The first tribute for Ponyville is... Applebloom!" cried, Cadance.

"No! Not my sister!" shouted Applejack. "I volunteer as Tribute!"

"Alright," said Cadance. "Your name is..."

"Applejack," replied Applejack.

"Applejack, stay with us!" cried Granny Smith.

Applejack shook her head. "I volunteered, it's my duty to protect the family."

"The second tribute for Ponyville is... Sunset Shimmer!" cried, Cadance.

Sunset walked up to the podium, the look of fear on her face. Applejack squeezed her hand.
