Aloha chaps! Sorry this chapter is late, but i hope it will be more entertaining than the previous :D!
Ya know the drill: read and review ;D!

***

After finishing three plates with hay fries, Magenta started to remember small pieces from her time in the woods. She could remember the two stallions she met, but she couldn't remember how they looked like nor their names. After telling them all she knew, she felt drowsy. She needed to sleep, badly!
"We could return to the farm. Some rooms in house are still intact, and we use the dining hall to sleep in" Applejack suggested, Magenta tought it was an excellent idea.

However, nothing could prepare Magenta for the chock she got when they arrived to Sweet Apple Acres.

The barn were practically destroyed, but luckily the chicken-coop, a pen and the house had managed to survive without any major damages. Except the house had a huge hole in the roof.

Magenta gasped. It looked just like in her dream.

"It aint a pretty sight..." Applejack said and sighed. She rolled away in the wheelchair and stroked a pillar that used to be the front gate. "My siblings and i grew up on this here farm..." She said quietly to herself.

"A-Applejack... I'm really sorry for what happened... If i only could remember those ponies i met in the woods... I swear this is all their doing!" Magenta said. She was angry, angry at those ponies who ruined their farm, and angry at herself for not remembering.
"Naw don't you push yourself! It aint your fault!" Applejack said and turned to Magenta, smiling sadly. "Now, we oughta get you some rest, we're gunna start rebuildin' tomorrow and then i want you to feel rest out, since Big Mac won't be here to help us, we will need all the hooves we can get!"
Magenta gave her a faint smile in return.

She couldn't help but feel sick when she thought of what had happened to Big Mac. She had never heard of anypony hurting another pony, especially not physically, in Equestria.

"I STILL can't believe you let that filly slip away!" Flam growled and rubbed his throat. He was still sore there. "Lucky for us, she seems to have forgotten about us... Same thing with Big Macintosh!" Flam turned to Flim. Flim looked up at his brother.

He was really scared now. If there had been an ounce left of the old Flam before, it was certainly gone now.

"You hit like a filly, you know that?" Flam continued to harass his little brother. "If that little... Blankflank, hadn't kicked me so badly, I could have been there instead of you! Atleast then we'd get the job DONE!" Flim looked down again.

Tonight was also the night theyd meet their "boss". They, especially Flam, were really worked up. Too bad it didn't seem like the Apples were going to give up their farm yet! Flam had some new plans, but their boss had grown tired of waiting. So he was going to arrive any second now.

Speaking of the devil; suddenly a silhuette of another pony came through the night. He moved so quietly that the brothers didn't notice him until he was practically by the campfire.

"Why good evening there, chaps!" His familiar smooth, yet chilly, voice made Flim shiver. He had a new face this time too.

Light blonde, long mane and tail, dark brown eyes and light blue furcoat. However, the hourglass on his flank were still the same.

"Ah hello there buddy!" Flam greeted. "You look good in that new look!" He tried on a compliment. Their boss smiled, but it didn't reach those dark eyes.

"Glad you like it, i had an accident with an old friend. I kinda like it too, but the mane gets in the way!" He said and brushed off some mane that got into his eyes. "So, from what i've understood, things haven't gone well for you, no?"

"Actually, i think it's been worse for the Apples! You should see the farm! We're sorry, but we had to ruin it! Hopefully, they won't be able to rebuild the mess, and should put that big pile of junk on the market any day!" Flam answered. "Once again, i'm sorry for ruining the farm, but Flim didn't come up with any ideas so i had to improvise, and one thing lead to another then "SPLASH", we dropped hundreds of gallons of water onto the farm!" Their boss' smile grew wider.

"Don't be sorry, its not the farm i'm after" He said, and before anyone of the brothers could ask him what it really was he was after, he spoke again; "And tomorrow, we'll go to the farm, and convince them to sell it. If not? Well, that would be unfortunate..." He and Flam smirked, but Flim nervously looked around and recoiled slightly.

He wanted to warn the Apple family and their friends, but how?

Dadaduum! Well, i guess most of you already figured out who their boss is ^^, if not? Mwahaha, i won't tell ya x3!
Anyway, see ya next tuesday!

Delilah OUT!
