Author's Note: So, at the request of CuteWolf1, this chapter is Applejack's one-shot. And thank you to the same person for reviewing. :)

Most ponies in the wake of sunrise would be asleep. Applejack was not one of those ponies. The hard working and determined pony that she was, she got up before sunrise to do her daily chores around the farm. Now, this farm was a well know farm, known for making the best, gosh darn apples in all of Equestria and, for even being the home to the Element of Honesty.

Sweet Apple Acres was the name of this famous apple farm, run by Applejack and her family. Mostly her and her older brother Big Macintosh did most of the yard work while her younger sister Applebloom cared for the animals they had and Granny Smith oversaw everything they did.

Yup, it would have been like any other day here at Sweet Apple Acres…

Except it wasn't.

It was around afternoon when Applejack finished most of her chores for the day, and what a day it was. More work was added to Applejack's workload as Applebloom went out crusading with her fellow comrades and Big Mac got a big nasty splinter from bucking a tree to hard, so he was out of work for the day. Luckily, he bucked most of the trees that they needed for the time being, and his sister could take care of the rest easily.

Applejack sure worked up a sweat, bucking the trees, but now she was on her last one.

"HooWee! 'Ahm mighty tired, thank Celestia this is the last tree for today!"

The Element of Honesty set herself up and released her hooves will all her might.

The next thing she was not expecting.

"GAHHH!"

Applejack looked for the source of the shriek, and found it was from the tree she just bucked. Well, it wasn't really a tree, rather a costumed disguise of a tree. Lying next to that was a cream colored pegasus with a pink mane and 3 pink butterflies for a cutie mark.

"Oh my gosh! Fluttershy! Are you alright?" Applejack asked, confused.

"Oh! I'm fine, Applejack. Thank you." Fluttershy replied with a nod.

"Good, now, what in tarnation were you doing disguised as a tree?!"

Fluttershy seemed taken aback by Applejack's outright outburst. Realizing this, Applejack remained calm.

"Sorry…" Applejack apologized, "Just tell me how you got here."

"Um, well..." Before Fluttershy could begin explaining, both her and Applejack could hear Applebloom calling for her. Fluttershy, in an instant, put on her tree disguise and remained still.

Applejack turned her head away from that and was met with the sight of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Hiya big sis!" Applebloom greeted, all three crusaders smiling. "Have you seen Fluttershy?"
Applejack, figuring out that Fluttershy was avoiding the Cutie Mark Crusaders after what she just witnessed, decided to do the one thing that was against her element.

Lie.

"Can't say that ah have." She decided to ask something. "What do you three want with her anyway?"

Sweetie Belle stepped up to answer that, "Well, we got more ideas for getting our cutie marks! We had to ask somepony to be a target though. Fluttershy was the only one who said yes, but she flew off when we told what we our ideas were."

"And what would that be?" The Element of Honesty, asking with curiousity.

Sweetie Belle pulled out a bow and arrow, "Archery!"

Scootaloo pulled out a case and opened it, "Throwing Knives!"

Applebloom pulled out some flammable equipment, "Jumping through fire hoops!"

"Whoa nelly!" was all Applejack could say.

"Come on, let's go to the town, maybe she's at Sugarcube Corner!" Scootaloo said, and the crusaders got on her scooter-wagon and headed to Ponyville.

Applejack was at a loss of words and wondered where her sister and her friends got such materials.

She fully understood now why Fluttershy was avoiding them. She turned around and was going to inform Fluttershy that the coast was clear.

"Fluttershy, they're gone now." Applejack touched the nearest tree. She was surprised to find out that the tree she touched was solid. She then looked around and noticed she was surrounded by trees, and they all looked alike to the one that was Fluttershy's disguise.

Twilight Sparkle happened to be passing by the farm on her way to the Everfree Forest to talk to Zecora about something. She noticed that Applejack seemed to be looking for Fluttershy around a bunch of trees.

"Hey Applejack!"

"Oh, howdy Twilight! I'd loved to chat and all but I'm looking for Fluttershy, she's one of these trees."

Twilight looked at Applejack in confusion.

"Um, AJ?"

"Yes, Twilight?"

"I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told Rainbow Dash quite a while ago…"

"And that is, Twilight?"

"You know she's not a tree, right?"
