Sweet Apple Acres was big. REALLY big. You could easily get lost unless you were an Apple pony and even they have certain "forbidden" areas they never went too. Unfortunately that day Winona went chasing after a mean squirrel and Applejack followed her, getting inside an area where she shouldn´t have.

"Winona! Come on girl! We shouldn´ be in ´ere..." then Applejack´s eyes caught glimpse of a glowing gold apple. "Well howdy, ah ´ ve never seen an apple like that..." she grabbed the apple, ignoring the danger it was. "Wanna share a bit girl?"

Winona barked and jumped around as her master shared the apple with her.

Twilight Sparkle and Spike arrived at the Apple´s house and were greeted by Big MacIntosh.

"Howdy Miss Sparkle. Spike."

"Good morning Big Mac. Have you seen Applejack? She was supposed to come help me move some dusty bookshelves."

Being a pony of few words Big Mac simply shook his head. Just then Winona appeared and start jumping around, barking alarmed.

"What´s up with her?" Spike asked.

"She´s starting to make me nervous..." Twilight said, moving away from the dog that kept barking at her.

"Don´ worry Twilight!" Apple Bloom said, coming out of the house. "Big Mac ´ere can shush her in one sec. Show her Big Bro!"

Big Mac put his hoof on his mouth and whistled causing Winona to kept quiet.

"That was awesome!" Spike said.

"EeeeAUH!"

Winona disagreed and bite Big Mac.

"Winona calm down!"

Winona ignored Apple Bloom and kept pestering Twilight.

"Hey get away from here!"

Spike tried to stop her but he was tossed around like a haystack.

"What is all thise fracas?" Granny Smith asked, coming out too.

"Granny, Winona is acting crazy!" Apple Bloom cried.

Granny Smith looked at the dog who looked back with pleading eyes, hoping somepony will understand her. Granny Smith smiled and said

"Discorded apples, ain´ ?

"I´m sorry, what did you said?" Twilight asked as Granny patted the dog.

"Ah thought they were all goner. Guess there were a few bad apples left in the barrel."

"Granny Smith, what are you talking about?" Twilight insisted.

Granny Smith simply smiled at Winona who ran off and returned with the familiar Stetson hat.

"What does that mean? Something happened to Applejack?" Twilight insisted, now genuinely worried.

Granny Smith laughed. "She ain´no goner, she is..." and she put the hat on top of Winona.

Everypony gasped, including Apple Bloom.

"...ah don´get it." she said.

Back in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash and Rarity walked back to the Boutique, the former forced to carry a cart filled with several types of gems.

"Ugh, this is way too heavy! I can´t even fly while carrying it! Why do I have to carry this anyway?" Rainbow complained.

"Applejack had already offered to help me but I haven´t been able to find her in all day and out of the six you are the second strongest." Rarity explained.

"You know very well Pinkie is the stronger than me."

"True but she is not reliable to carrying shiny objects."

"Thats true...hey what gives? There´s Applejack! She was too busy to help you because she is..eating from a trash can?"

"Applejack, dear?"

"Heh, she is acting more like Winona." hearing the sound of that name caused the hatless pony to turn around and once she recognized Rarity she jumped over her and began lickign her face.

"Well well.." Rainbow said.

"Wai-this isn-isn´t what it looks like! APplejack stop it!"

Opalescence then pop out of the chart causing Applejack to stop, growl and began chasing her.

"Applejack! Leave my Opalescence at once!"

"There they are!" Twilight arrived with the entire Apple clan behind. She used her magic to separate the two animals, landing Opalescence on top of Big Mac´s head.

"Twilight Sparkle, explain to me at once what is happening!" Rarity demande din her best princess luan impression.

Twilight explained the whole story while Rainbow Dash laughed at the spectacle of "Winona" scolding "Applejack" who laid in the ground, wimping.

"Well that...explains a lot. But what are we going to do about Applejack?" Rarity asked.

"Don´worry yer tiny heads. The solution is but a few SUnny Berries." Granny SMith said, caressing the orange pony head.

"Sunny Berries, I remember reading about them in a book. They were the first type of fruit that blossomed after Discord´s defeat and they are extremely rare to find. They must be only a few dozen bushes in all of Equestria."

"Okay, I´ll start searching for them!" Rainbow said, happy to be free of the chart.

"Ah no need fer that! AH have a few samples right ´ere!" and Granny SMith pulled the shiny fuits. "Now open wide and..."

"Uh shinny berries!"

"PINKIEEEE!!!"

"Wut?" she asked, lickign her face.

"Pinkie what have you done?" Twilight yelled.

"What, they taste yummy and sunny!"

"What are you even doing in here?"Rainbowe barked.

"I saw Applejack playing dog and figured we were playing animals. I´m an elephant! WOOOOO!"

Everypony facehoofed, minus Big Mac.

"Now what ´re we gonna do?" Apple Bloom cried.

Everypony was worried and scolding Pinkie with their looks when "Applejack" tried to get a sniff off Granny Smith´s hoof. She found something as wrong with her so she barked at "Winona" who needed a time to understand. She then sniffed the hoof too and began smelling the air.

"What is she doing?" Rainbow asked.

"Of course! Winona´s enhanced sense of smell can lead her to the Berrie´s bush!" Twilight exclaimed.

The bush turned out to be enxt to where Rainbow held her pet competition so it was a good thing they brought her along. After she flew away from the cliff she handled the berries and with just one bite, the chaos magic was dispersed. Applejack hugged Winona and was ready to write a letter about this strange and new experience.

"Oh my Angel that apple looks delicious! So bright and shiny, it looks almost golden!" Fluttershy ate the shiny apple and turned over to Angel. "My you ate it too quick bunny angel!" the bunny shook his head. "You didn't? SO where´s your part of the apple?"

Angel Bunny pointed back and Fluttershy turned over to find a giant dragon licking his scaly lips.

"Oh my..."
