Truth and casted
It was night time at Sweet Apple Acres, the competition for the property was tomorrow, and the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 was parked outside, the Flim Flam brothers were in a hotel in town.
Applejack was determined for tomorrow, she wasn’t asleep, she looked out of her window, looking at the machine, her face filled with hatred, but she was secretly worried, what if they lost? They would lose the farm, her family’s home for as long as she could remember.
But she was still determined to do her part; she was an Apple, through and through. She wouldn’t give up though, those Flim Flam brothers cider wasn’t as great as there cider, there’s were more quality then quantity in the homemade cider they make.But something seemed off, when she saw the brothers, it seemed Flim wasn’t as enthusiastic as his twin, and he also seemed to be depressed at times, but quickly tried to hide it, but she saw it.
She then saw something in the distance, walking towards the farm, the machine in fact, she squinted her eyes and looked closer, she couldn’t see who it was but could see it was a unicorn stallion. Applejack then rushed out of her room, down the stairs and out of the door, but then quietly walked towards the mysterious stallion.
She soon made it to the cart and leaned against, she leaned over the edge of the machine to see the stallion, and she couldn’t believe her eyes. It was Flim, but he wasn’t wearing the same clothes as before, instead of the barbershop dresses, he had a dark brown jacket with a red handkerchief around his neck, he was also carrying a wrench with his hoof.
Flim sighed but soon opened a door of the machine and started to mend and check the machine so it was ready for tomorrow, he sighed, he wished his invention could be used for transportation instead of trying to steal a honest family’s farm. And this wasn’t the first time, whenever Flim invented something, Flam would tell him to convert it into something else to get money. That’s usually all his brother cared about, money, money and money, nothing else.
Flim checked everything was good to go, it seemed good to go, he then closed the hatch, but before he could do anything else, he was tackled from his right, he tumbled in the dirt with the pony who tackled him, he soon found himself on his back looking up at- Applejack!?
“What the-“
“Don’t ya talk, what are ya doing back here!?” Applejack asked.
“i-I was just checking the m-machine. T-That’s all!” Flim replied nervous as Applejacks eyes seemed to be filled with hatred and anger, although Applejack noticed his voice was different from earlier that day, it seemed deeper.
“Oh, just making sure ya steal our farm right!?” Applejack said furiously.
“I don’t want to! My brother does!” Flim replied, Applejack looked straight into his eyes, she saw no sign of lies.
“Then why don’t ya say no?” Applejack asked, a little bit less angry.
Flim sighed. “It’s been this way for a long time; I don’t think you’d understand.”
Applejack got off Flim, letting him sit up, with her opposite of him.
“Ah got time.” She said, no longer showing anger, but she still didn’t trust him, and still had a hint of anger.
“well-“
“Remember, lie once and ah’ll know it.” Applejack warned, Flim nodded.
“Anyway, now I might not look like much, but I’m pretty smart, I’ve made tons of inventions. I guess you could say I was the good twin, but Flam…well he usually thought that my genius could be used for gain, he wanted to use them to take places over. I can’t recoil the last time where one of my inventions he used for money and gain, every time we’ve failed. Mainly because I sabotage the machines. But I still keep the blueprints of the original designs because…well I hope that he won’t control my life.” Flim said, his hoof shaking with anger.
“Calm down sugarcube.” Applejack said grabbing Flims hoof, Flim let out a deep sigh.
“Sorry, it’s just, ever since we were kicked out by our parents, my brother tricked me into joining him in his ‘Quest’, I was foolish enough to follow him. And why can’t I leave him now? Why didn’t I do it with all those other times?”
Applejack simply nodded
“Because, once I said no, he threated to throw me out, ya see he owns the house I live in, and I don’t think my parents want me back. I also have no friends, so I’m forced to help my brother out, or I become homeless.” Flim finished, he then chuckled.
“You know, you’re the first pony to actually talk to me.” Applejack was surprised by this.
“Really?”
“Yep” Flim replied
“Well will you sabotage that there machine?” Applejack asked
“Can’t, Flam’s onto me, he’s going to look at the controls, I can’t help you there.” Flim said as he sighed.
“Yah know what ah think?”
“What?”
“do what ya heart said. Ah know that ya’ll probably end up on tha street, but ah think it’s better than doin’ whatever ya brother says.” Applejack said, FLim put a hoof to his his chin.
He thought about it for a bit, he then closed his eyes, sighed, and looked into Applejack’s eyes.
“I need some time to think this over, sorry.” Flim said, lowering his head in shame, he then felt a hoof on his shoulders, he looked up to see Applejack, who had gotten rid of all anger for Flim, every word he said was true, she looked at him with honest and caring eyes.
“It’s ok sugarcube.” She said, she then got up and walked back to the farm house, but not before looking back at Flim.
“ya know…ah could always getcha a job here, if ya like?” Applejack asked, Flim smiled and nodded.
“I would like that.”

The next day, the Apples went against the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, during the competition Applejacks friends helped out, and sson the cider production of the Apple family and speed up to the machine, Flim say this and grew a small smile.
“Quick brother! We need to turn the speed up!”
Flim got knocked out of his trance, and looked at his brother who was going to change the settings; Flim quickly got up and stopped Flam.
“No! If we turn it up, the cider will pick the rotten apples!” Flim said, getting some attention from the crowd.
“Well will still get the farm!” Flam said. More ponies got interested.
“Oh, you’d like that wouldn’t you!?” Flim said angry, returning to his normal voice, but his shouting got everyponies attention, even the Apples and Applejacks friends.
“Every time I make something, you always try to turn it into some stupid thing to steal pony’s property!” Flim said, some ponies gasped.
“Well? What are you going to do about it!?” Flam said.
“First, here’s what I think about your choice in clothes!” Flim said, ripping his clothes off, revealing his normal jacket and handkerchief.
“And also your moustache Is stupid!” Flim ripped off Flam’s moustache, Applejack and some of her family silently laughed at this, Applejack also had some pleasure against Flam.
“Now, here’s you precious machine gone!” Flim said as he jumped down, opened a hatchet, and started to pull out wires, Applejack and all the ponies were in shock as Flim pulled apart his own creation.
Flam then jumped down after him, and then tackled Flim to the ground and started to punch Flim repeatedly, ponies tried to stop Flam but Flam pushed them off, and the mayor then shouted.
“The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 is disqualified, Sweet Apple Acres wins!”
Applebloom and a bunch of ponies were cheering, Flam just looked in disbelieve, he then looked at his brother he had just beaten to a pulp, Flim looked at his brother one more time before Flam hit him one more time, knocking him out.
“Weak.” Flam said before going to the back of the machine, he started to throw out blueprints, papers, books and some tools.
“Keep your stuff! You’re no brother of myn!” Flam said before getting back in the machine and driving out of Ponyville, followed by haters.
Meanwhile the Apple family walked over to Flim, who was unconscious with all his stuff, she then looked at Big Mac.
“Ah’ll get Flim, ya get his gear inside.” Applejack said
Big Mac simply picked up Flim’s stuff, while Applejack flipped Flim onto her back, as they walked to the farmhouse, Applebloom and granny smith managed the stand.
Applejack had one thought on her mind, what would they do with Flim? She hoped her promise she made with him working on the farm would be kept.
She hoped his would be welcomed with open hooves.
Author's Notes:
random story, blame my imagination, and it might of happened, we don't know one of there sides if the story.
Although I won't work on this until my other two stories are done.
So as always, keep calm and tomahawk on.
Introductions over cider
Applejack was currently wrapping bandages around Flims wounds, Big Mac had gone to pick up what Flam threw out of the cart. While Applebloom and Granny Smith run the stand. She finished off the last bandage and then rushed downstairs to get an ice pack.
As she re-entered the room and placed the icepack over his black eye, she saw his hoof start to twitch a bit. She then saw his eyes start to blink. She then looked back and saw Big Mac holding all the books and papers on his back.
"Put 'em on tha desk there." Applejack said.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said as he put it onto the desk, he then walked out of the room. Applejack then looked back at Flim who put his hoof against the icepack.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Ya took quite a beatin' there. Ya got bruises and cuts. Ya also got a black eye." She said. Flim chuckled a little bit.
"Well that sucks." He said.
"Hey, Applejack. How are your family and friends going to react to me? I mean I did try to take over the farm." Flim said.
"No, ya brother did. You were just pulled in." Applejack said, she knew, he told not one lie when he explained himself.
"Yeah, but will they believe me?" He asked.
"Ah'll tell 'em. You on the other hand need ta rest." She said, Flim tried to get up, but Applejack's hoof and strength stopped him.
"Ya ain't goin' anywhere until ya get some rest." Applejack said. Flim was about to argue, but saw Applejack's face mixed with concerned and seriousness.
"Alright." He said as Applejack left the room to join and help the stand. A few hours later, Applejack came back into the room to see Flim sitting on the bed and stretching out a bit.
"Ya seem ta be fit ready ta go. but are ya sure your ok?" She asked.
"Don't worry, I can get through." Flim said.
"Okay then, ah'll introduce ya to my friends and family." Applejack said, Flim's eyes shrunk in fear.
"Are you sure they'll like me?" Flim asked. Applejack smiled and grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't worry, ya'll be fine. Ah told them about Flam and what he did." Applejack said, Flim sighed in relief. Then smiled at her.
"Alright, lets go." Flim said.
The two walked down the stairs and outside where all the ponies had gone except Applejack's family and friends, apart from Applebloom. The ponies where all sitting at a table, drinking mugs of cider. Once they saw Flim and Applejack, they all stopped talking and waiting for them to arrive. As the two arrived at the end of the table.
"Everypony, this is Flim." Applejack said, Flim waved awkwardly. Just then, Rainbow Dash flew up into his face.
"How do why not know he's just tricking us?" She asked, Twilight quickly pulled her back.
"Calm down Rainbow. Applejack told us herself, and don't you remember what element she is?" She asked, Rainbow stopped struggling and sighed.
"Fine, I'll wait." She said as she sat down and took a chug of her cider.
"Look, why don't I introduce y'all ta Flim here. Okay?" Applejack said.
Everypony nodded, some less then others.
"Alright, Flim. This here is mah friend. Twilight Sparkle." Applejack said as the two walked up to the purple unicorn. Flim and Twilight both shook hooves.
"It is nice to meet you miss Twilight. I'm sorry if I've offended you anyway." He said.
"Oh, just Twilight or Twi is fine. And it's nice to meet the real you." She said, the two then walked over to Pinkie Pie. Who was practically jumping in her seat.
"This here is Pinkie Pie."
"Hi, I-"
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! It's nice to meet you! I'm happy your meanie brother can't hurt you anymore! I can't wait to have your 'welcome to Ponyville' party!" She said, right before gulping down an entire mug. The two then walked over to Rarity.
"This here is Rarity."
"Nice to meet you ma'am." Flim said.
"It is nice to meet you dear. That vest and scarf are just perfect on you." She said. They then walked over to Fluttershy.
"This is Fluttershy." Applejack said.
"Hi, pleasure to meet you." Flim said, Fluttershy just squeaked and whispered.
"I-I'm Fluttershy." They finally came to Rainbow Dash.
" and you probably know by now, but this is Rainbow Dash."
"Hey there." Flim introduced himself.
"Yeah, yeah." She said taking another sip of her drink. Applejack rolled her eyes as the two went up to Big Mac.
"This is mah brother, Big Macintosh. Or Big Mac for short."
"Yeah, sorry about the competition. I never wanted to take this farm off you." Flim said, afraid of what the huge stallion would do to him.
"Eeyup." The stallion said. Flim was a bit shocked by this answer but he and Applejack moved onto the final pony, Granny Smith.
"And finally, ah'm like ya ta meet Granny Smith." Applejack said, Flim sweating with nervousness.
"Um...h-hello ma'am." He said. Granny Smith just squire ned his eyes at him for a while. Silence dominating the area. Right before she started to laugh and pull Flim into a headlock.
"Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres." She said as she let go and took a sip of her cider. Flim whispered over to Applejack.
"No offence, but is she a bit tipsy at the moment?"
"Possibly, ah don't even know." She said. The two the went back to the end of the table. Applejack got two mugs out, filled them with cider and brought them over to the end of the table and out them down. The two sat down and took one mug each and took a sip from it.
"Man, this is way better then That stuff Flam made." Flim said.
"How?" Applejack asked.
"He'd chuck in a huge amount of flavours. Without them, wouldn't taste good." Flim said.
"So Flim. Applejack tells me you invented that machine." Twilight said.
"Yes, but the cider making part Flam added on himself." Flim said.
"So what is it?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, I wanted to make something to make transportation quicker. So I got a steam engine from a broken down train, got a large cart, four seats, and other parts. I then put them together and finished it. But before I could do anything with it, Flam found out, and then came up with the idea." Flim said, taking another sip from his cider.
"So that thing was just meant to make ponies travel faster?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah." Flim said.
"That's kinda mean." Pinkie said.
"He was. He's been pushing me around ever since I stupidly joined him." He said, taking another sip of the cider.
"Well you have our sympathy's dear." Rarity said, all the ponies nodded. Except from Big Mac, who just said 'eeyup', Granny Smith who just nodded slowly, and Rainbow just grunted.
"Thank you all." He said. The girls smiled at him. Applejack then talked to Big Mac.
"Um...Big Mac. Ah was wonderin'. If Flim can stay here. Ah'm sure he wouldn't mind working out in the fields." She asked. Flim overheard, looked at Big Mac and nodded. He looked at Flim with a stare, then looked back at Applejack.
"Eeyup." He said as he took a sip of his cider. Flim and Applejack looked at each other and high-hoofed.
"But ya gonna have ta clear it up with Granny Smith, once she stars thinkin' straight again." He said, causing both Flim and Applejack to gulp. Meanwhile Rarity had observed the two, a devious grin grew on her face.
The ponies then all talked to Flim about them, with an exception of Rainbow. The group discussed and laughed as they drank there cider in the nice weather of Sweet Apple Acres.
