More time passed. The well was beginning to be built, which Applebloom was observing. Then, she heard somepony calling her name. She turned around and saw, to her surprise, Scootaloo, running towards her. "Wow! Scootaloo! Is that really you?!" asked Applebloom. "Uhhh, yeah. Last i checked. Haha! Just joking with ya!" said Scootaloo, "I came when I heard you were here! Sweetie Belle is busy right now. I see you're still a blank flank!". Scootaloo then showed her flank, "Yup. We all still are too! Kind of weird but oh well." "How is everypony in Ponyville?" asked Applebloom. "Oh the same. Meaning Rainbow Dash is still the best flyer ever!" replied Scootaloo "How's Applejack?". "Oh, well, she's alright. I mean, she's my sis but she's got kind of...different ever since we left Ponyville." Applejack said doubtfully, "Bad thing is, she keeps suppressing it and suppressing it. Imma 'fraid it will explode one day. But she's been acting weirder now that we're here...Pfft! Honesty my FLANK!" Scootaloo looked at Applebloom with remorse and said, "Ouch. Soooo, what are they doing now?" Applebloom told her they're just building a well. Scootaloo looked at her and asked, "So you know how much bank you'll make?!". "I dunno. I reckon a thousand bits. Ye can't really tell..." replied Applebloom. Scootaloo offered, "Maybe even ten thousand bits?" "Maybe. Dunno." said Applebloom. "I lied Applebloom." Scootaloo admitted, "I'm here because I ran away. My father's been a real douche now. He....he backhoofs me if I do something 'rambunctious'." Applebloom said, "Golly! That's terrible!". She put her hoof on her shoulder and reminded her, "Don't worry. Yer safe now." "Yeah. I guess." Scootaloo reasoned, "So, how much money will WE make?" Applebloom sighed, It depends... You never know..."
The following day, the Apple sisters left to visit Mrs. Rose to discuss what property they now owned. They all stood against the table, observing the map of the land. Mrs. Rose was pointing at it when she said, "Congratulations Applejack! It was all successful! We got all the lots at five and a half bits an acre for a grand total of ten thousand four hundred acres!". However Applejack sniffed Mrs. Rose's false pride, "Hold yerselves now!" she said, "That ain't successful.". Mrs. Rose replied, "Well, this tract here next to the Sunday ranch. This is Mr. Bandy, and he didn't want to sell.". "Well, who does he think he is?" asked Applejack. Mrs. Rose answered, "And old pony, Bandy...he homesteaded here. He lives with his grandson, and he wants to speak to you.". Applejack said, "Is he gonna boost his price? Why does he want me? Did you mention my name?". Mrs. Rose said she didn't. "Well, I ain't got time to meet this man. Does t LOOK like I have time? And if I did I sure wouldn't hell waste it talkin' ta such a hard head as that Bandy fella. He either wants to sell it or not." boasted Applejack. Mrs. Rose assured, "Well, it's all just dead, hilly land. Why do you want it?" "It is a damn good tract. Don't tell me it isn't. Ye wouldn't know. Don't talk to me like that..." Applejack growled., "I don't care what ye say. This wasn't successful, not yet..."
