A/N: I have a questionnaire for anyone who reads this chapter. I used a line from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. I want you all to try and figure it out and put your guess in your reviews! As for the prize, I'll give the ones who win on big COOKIE or CUPCAKE!

Applejack didn't have to search long for her brother and Twilight, because both came out from the slime-covered-looking bush to her left. Big Macintosh trotted up to his sister and asked with a furrowed brow, "Did ya die?"

The Earth Pony laughed at her brother's question. She replied jokingly, "Sadly yes, but I lived!"

"Wha's that supposed ta mean?"

"I ain't dead, silly."

"Oh." Big Mac looked at the ground while his cheeks started turning slightly pink in comparison to his red coat.

Applejack looked behind her brother to look at Twilight. She walked over to her friend's side and said, "Well now, wasn't that excitin'? Aston and Claire talkin' 'bout murderin' ponies like swattin' flies – they're probably sick in ta head anyway."

Twilight looked down at the moss covered ground. She let her hoof fly slightly above the green plant gently. A raindrop hit her hoof, splattered, then slid down the light shade of purple. Twilight sighed, but Applejack just kept rambling about the two ponies she had encountered, "…I bet ya apples ta oranges that they both came from Canterlot. Hey, I've got an idea! Let's go an' see Zecora, I bet she'll know what ta do!"

Whipping her head up, Twilight violently shook her head 'no'. When Applejack asked why, Twilight suddenly remembered the spell that Princess Celestia had taught her. It was a spell of how to show your memories to somepony else. Twilight didn't like to use it that much, as it cost a great deal amount of energy, but now she felt she had to use it or else they would get nowhere.

So when the Unicorn pointed her horn at Applejack, the Earth Pony started to retreat; but held fast when Twilight's horn started to glow its usual color. Twilight closed her eyes and summoned up her memories of what had happened at Zecora's house and the magic to transport it at Applejack. A burning sensation filled inside of Twilight as a beam of fuchsia flew out toward the blonde-haired pony. No sooner than it had begun, when it ended. So as Twilight sat panting with Big Macintosh standing over her, her friend's eyes turned white.


Applejack didn't know what happened after she saw Twilight's horn glow and a beam came out at her; all she knew was that she was falling. The falling was the best sensation she had ever felt in her life, nothing compared to it. The feeling had made her feel like her stomach lifted up and out of her and out into nothing. Her mane billowed in the wind, falling freely, which surprised her because she had sworn that she had put it in a ponytail earlier.

In front of Applejack was a cloud of white. It never seemed to stop, just seemed to start somewhere and never seems to end. I could git used ta this, the Earth Pony thought contently when…

WHAM!

Applejack's gut came back violently when she landed abruptly; it was an unpleasant feeling that made Applejack want to throw up; but she didn't when she looked about her.

The white cloud had mysteriously gone and she was standing in the pouring rain next to Twilight, but Twilight didn't seem to notice her. Applejack didn't have enough time to ask her friend what was happening, when the door opened to show Zecora letting Twilight inside.

Applejack followed and stood right behind Twilight.

"What happened to you? Your ears are turning dangerously blue," the zebra exclaimed in her usual rhyme.

"She can't talk,"Applejack said aloud to Zecora. Zecora didn't respond and Twilight looked wildly for something to write with. Twilight eventually found something up on a brown shelf. She pointed to it and Applejack watched as Zecora got it down for the Unicorn.

Then Twilight proceeded on writing everything down in her neat script while Zecora watched, patient. No sooner than when Twilight finished, and Zecora started to read the story; when the door barged open and there stood two enormous ponies.

Applejack noticed that they were the same two ponies she had met in the Everfree Forest.

"Twilight!" one yelled in a fake western girlish accent, causing Twilight to cringe.

Zecora started to walk right up to them, and as she marched up to the murderous ponies she walked right through dumbfounded Applejack. "What rights have you, to knock down my door? And what do you want Twilight for?"

Applejack face-hoofed and thought, what is she doing? But she watched the conversation play out and soon turn ugly when the two ponies started to advance on Zecora. With eyes wide, Applejack stood in fear as everything played out an open gash in front of her.

So when Zecora screamed out a riddle, Applejack didn't pay attention, only to Claire who giggled obnoxiously and to Ashton, who kept Zecora in place. A flash appeared as the zebra sung out the last note, and a knife appeared.

"Zecora, WATCH OUT!" Applejack screamed as the knife came plunging down. And for a second Zecora caught her eye and smiled a sad smile at her before Applejack was smacked out of the horrifying dream with a WHAM!


Twilight watched Applejack's eyes clear up back to normal signaling the spell was over. She only hoped that Applejack remembered everything and paid attention. Twilight bit her lower lip and stood right in front of Applejack as she slowly came back to consciousness. Twilight let out the breath that she was holding, only for Applejack to vomit all over her from nausea.

Twilight heard Big Macintosh laugh.
