Dear diary,

Today, Applejack called me over about something her and Rainbow Dash were doing. I arrived at Sweet Apple Acres and Applejack told me it was something called an iron pony contest. A series of athletic events which decides who is the more athletic pony and Applejack wanted me to be the judge of the event. Rainbow Dash seemed to be in one of her moods where she shows off all the time, bragging, those sort of things. I could tell she was going to be annoying today.

A few hours later, Applejack and Rainbow Dash started to set up events and it was attracting a crowd. Spike started announcing and I could tell that he would be annoying because he would have to talk all day if he was given the job of an announcer. I just want one day, just one, where he would shut up for at least a a second.

The first event started, Applejack and Rainbow Dash had to run through obstacles in the quickest time possible. Applejack done a good run, but Rainbow Dash done better. I could see Applejack not talking her first loss well. But still, Rainbow Dash won the first event.

The second event started, Applejack and Rainbow Dash had to buck a bell ringer to... Well... Ring a bell at the top. Rainbow Dash done good as she hit the bell, but Applejack done better as she knocked the bell of the pole. She is strong! She was probably on steroids. Applejack started bragging, which is something you wouldn't expect a pony like her to do. It seemed like they were going to end up fighting soon, it would be like Rarity and Applejack all over again.

The next event was a rodeo. Applejack and Rainbow Dash needed to buck Spike off them in the fastest time possible to win. Spike didn't like it, but he deserved it for the way he acted when we were doing winter wrap up. Applejack managed to get Spike off in a good time, but Rainbow Dash managed to get him off three times less than Applejack. He sent Spike flying above my head. It was hilarious. Rainbow Dash won the event.

The next event was the lasso. Applejack managed to lasso Spike in next to no time. Today was just torture for him. While Rainbow Dash lassoed herself to a tree. How do you even do that? But Applejack won the lasso event.

These events went of for hours on end with Spike getting more bones broken with every event. I had mixed feelings about him getting hurt. Pretty soon, Spike started to be the announcer again to the rest of Ponyville. I don't know why they wanted to see Applejack and Rainbow Dash battle in the iron pony contest. Maybe because there is never anything good on in Ponyville anyway.

As the judge, I had to announce the final event. Rope pulling. Unfortunately, Applejack lost. She fell in the mud. Ha. Rainbow Dash won the last event with the highest score, she was the iron pony. But still she was being a pile of bird droppings for showing off again. But Applejack said that Rainbow Dash cheated because she used her wings, but no pony said she couldn't use her wings. So Applejack and Rainbow Dash planned to enter the running of the leaves. To see who was the true iron pony. I decided to enter to because I wanted to explore Ponyville a bit more, and it would be fun. And Applejack called it. No wings.

The next day, Spike and I went to the running of the leaves. Spike wanted to be the announcer again, but unlucky for him, the job was taken by Pinkie Pie. Now we don't need to hear him talk all day announcing every little obvious thing that goes on. When will he learn that everypony would feel better if he just shut his mouth.

It was five minutes until the race started and I gathered at the starting line. It turns out that Pinkie Pie let Spike be her co reporter. Oh great, thanks Pinkie Pie. Now everypony has to hear his stupid voice when he reports every little thing that he sees. Everypony may as well just go home now, the race will be a bore now that's he's the eye in the sky. The only way he could be entertaining is if he fell out of the ballon and broke something. I arrived at the starting line and noticed that Applejack was using a rope to tie Rainbow's wings to her body so she couldn't use them. She was being very serious about this. Applejack asked what I was doing, I told her I was racing and then Rainbow Dash laughed and fell to the floor. She thought I was joking, yet she doesn't realise that the colour of her mane is a joke, have you seen it? The amount of colours that were there. They would probably blind somepony if the sun light reflected off it. She called me an egghead and told me to go read books on racing rather than race. She is offencive sometimes, but she's just trying to make herself feel better for being a total dunce. Applejack started to join in. But she was brought up on a farm, so you could imagine that she was supposed to be stupid anyway.

The race started and I was in the middle of the racers. I could see Rainbow Dash and Applejack battling for first place up ahead. While also, the commentary created by Pinkie Pie and Spike was actually entertaining and funny. It was incredibly random.

Later on in the race, Applejack tripped on a rock and landed flat in her face, she was behinde the rest of the racers like me. She accused Rainbow Dash of tripping her up, but she didn't see where she was going and accused her for no reason. Judgmental barn animal. I went on jogging and not running, looking at the scenery.

Later on, Rainbow Dash tripped on a stump and accused Applejack of tripping her. Obviously none of them looked where they were going. Judgmental, hothead show off. After I showed her the proof, she still was in denial and still accused Applejack. I just decided to go allomg and leave her be. She wasn't gonna reason, do why try? While she ran after Applejack, I went to do my own thing.

Later on, I saw Rainbow Dash laughing for some reason. She said she was sure to win, but she didn't realise that everypony else already past her. To busy trying to fool Applejack I guess.

I then saw them standing around. I told them that the running of the leaves should involve running. Told by an "egghead" who apparently knows nothing about racing.

I went up ahead while those two started fighting. I ran up against everypony at the end when they where tired and became one of the first to cross the line. I got fifth place, that wasn't bad for my first race. When Applejack and Rainbow Dash got passed the Finish line, they tied for last place. When they were confused of how I won, I told them my method. For some reason, Princess Celestia showed up to celebrate the running of the leaves. Because of the both of them tricking eachother, most of the leaves were still on the trees. Princess Celestia suggested they went on another run. And that is what they did.

Today, I learned another lesson between two friends of mine. If you're bored, just lock Rainbow Dash and Applejack in a room together and just watch.
