Switch of Pov: Applejack

"Boy howdy! I got my work cut out for me. That there is the biggest bumper crop o' apples I ever laid eyes on." I said looking at the 20 feet tall apple trees.

"Eeyup. Too big for you to handle on your own." Big Mac said teasing a little.

"Come on, big brother! You need to rest up and get yourself better. I haven't met an apple orchard yet that I can't handle." I said punching his side causing him to flinch. "Oops, sorry. I'll take a bite out of this job by day's end." I said.

"Biting off more than you can chew is just what I'm afraid of." Big Mac said concerned.

"Are you sayin' my mouth is makin' promises my legs can't keep?" I asked him.

"Eeyup." Big Mac said.

"Why of all the... This is your sister Applejack, remember? The loyalest of friends and the most dependable of ponies?" I said.

"But still your only one pony, and one pony plus hundreds o' apple trees just doesn't add up to..." Big Mac said trying to convince me this is a bad idea.

"Don't you use your fancy mathematics to muddy the issue! I said I could handle this harvest and I'm gonna prove it to you. I'm gonna get every last apple out of those trees this applebuck season all by myself. [gulps]" I said as looked at the trees.

"Well I better get kickin'. These apples aren't gonna shake themselves outta the trees." I said as I was about to start. All of a sudden the ground began to rumble. "Oh no." I said running to town with my lasso and my dog Winona.

Switch of Pov: Keshaun

"STAMPEDE!" Rainbow yelled as a herd of cows were charging towards Ponyvile. Tens of hooves smashing against the ground made it feel like a mini earthquake was happening. All of the ponies began to panic.

"[laughter] Hey...! [vibrating] This makes my voice sound silly!" Pinkie said as she was bouncing from the earthquake.

"Pinkie Pie, are you crazy?! Run!" Twilight said panicking about the mini earthquake.

"Everyone calm down. There is no need to panic." I said trying to calm everyone down.

"Where's Applejack when you need her?" I said to myself.

"Look there!" Rainbow said pointing at the stampede. I saw that Applejack was in the middle of it.

"Oh thank God." I said relieved.

"YEEHAW!" Applejack yelled running down the hill with her Border Collie Winona.

"Move aside, Winona. Put 'em up, girl!" Applejack said as Winona went the left side of the herd. Winona barked at Applejack with agreement. Applejack was jumping on cow backs trying to find the leader of the herd. "Come on, little dogies! Turn! [whistle] Winona, put 'em up! Ha hah! Gotcha. [grunt]" Applejack said twirling her lasso at the leader sending the herd away from Ponyvile.

"That was the best rodeo show I've ever seen." Pinkie said eating some popcorn.

"Whoaaa. Hooie. Now what was that all about?" Applejack asked one of cows.

"[moo] [cough] Oh my! Begging your pardon, Applejack, but Moo-riella here saw one of those nasty snakes." A cow by the name of Daisy Jo said. Then they all flinched after hearing the word snake. "And it just gave us all the willies, don'tcha know." Daisy added.

"I completely understand. Just next time, try and steer clear of Ponyville." Applejack suggested.

"We certainly will, Applejack. So long, Winona!" Daisy Jo said as the herd went off. Winona barked at the herd saying goodbye.

"[Sighs] Thanks for that, Applejack." I said with glee as everyone began to cheer.

"It was nothing." Applejack said before running back to Sweet apple acres.

"Applejack was just... just..." Mayor Mare said trying to find the right words.

"Appletastic!" Pinkie said as she fell from standing on nothing.

"While that isn't a word. I agree." I said as walked towards Pinkie.

"Exactly. We must do something to thank Applejack for single-hoofedly saving the town." Mayor Mare said thinking of ways to thank Applejack.

"[Gasp] I know. A party!" Pinkie answered the mayor with excitement.

Timeskip: 1 week

Twilight, Spike, Caleb, Justice, and I were checking how the party for Applejack was going.

"Is everything all set?" Twilight asked Rarity.

"Just one last thing." Rarity said as she put a banner with an apple on it.

"Now we're ready." She said stopping her magic.

"Is Applejack all set?" Twilight asked.

"Actually, I haven't seen her all week." Rainbow said.

"Yeah. Not since the stampede." Pinkie added to the conversation.

"But she'll be here for sure. Applejack is never late." Rainbow said with confidence.

"Hey guys do you feel like a bad omen is coming?" I asked.

"Yep." Spike, Caleb, Justice said.

"Oh good. Glad I'm not the only one." I said with a deadpan expression.

"Welcome, everyone! Today we are here to honor a pony we can always count on to help in matters great and small. A pony whose contributions to--" Twilight started before being interrupted.

"Did you see Applejack's slick moves out there? What an athlete. This week she's gonna help me with my new flying trick, and I know it's gonna be so awesome." Rainbow said with excitement.

"Exactly. And..." Twilight said before being interrupted again.

"This week, I get to run Sugarcube Corner for the first time." Pinkie said appearing next to Twilight.

"What does that have to do with Applejack?" Twilight asked. "Oh. Applejack, one of the best bakers ever, is gonna help me. Applejack makes everything great, so free samples for everypony!" Pinkie said as many ponies began to cheer.

"Oh-kay, that's great. Now if I could just make a point without being inter--" "Twilight?" Fluttershy said quietly. "rupted." Twilight said getting annoyed.

"Twilight, I'm so sorry, but I just wanted to mention that Applejack is also helping me this week with the official bunny census, where we count up all the new baby bunnies that were born this season. She's gonna help gather them using her wonderful herding skills." Fluttershy said quietly with excitement.

"Anyone else? Anyone? No? Well then, as I was trying to say..." Twilight said before seeing Mayor Mare.

"Urgh! Never mind." Twilight said throwing her notes away.

"Ah-ahem. And so, with no further ado, it is my privilege to give the prize, Pony of Ponyville Award, to our beloved guest of honor, a pony of the utmost trustworthiness, reliability, and integrity. Ponyville's most capable and dependable friend: Applejack!" Mayor Mare said as everyone cheered.

As soon as the curtains were pulled we saw that Applejack wasn't there. "Huh? Where's Applejack?" Spike asked looking around.

"I'm here. I'm here. [yawn] [sigh] Sorry I'm late." Applejack said a bit tired. She was bumping into ponies in a tired stumble.

"Miss Mayor. Thank you kindly for this here... award thingy. [yawn] It's so bright and shiny and, heh, heh heh, I sure do look funny heh. Ooo-ooo." Applejack said looking at the award. She sounded like a drunk white girl after one bottle of alcohol.

"Okay. Well, thank you Applejack for saving us from that scary stampede, and always being there for everypony." Twilight said.

"[yawn] Yeah. I like helping everyone and [yawn] and stuff. [snore] Oh, uh, yeah. Uh, Thanks." Applejack said as she dragged the trophy with her.

"What was that about?" I asked. "Is it just me, or did Applejack seem a little--" Twilight asked.

"Tired." "Dizzy?" "Messy? What did you see her mane?" Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Rarity answered.

Twilight, Spike, Caleb, Justice, and I decided to go to Sweet apple acres to see what was with Applejack. We noticed that Applejack was trying to kick down apples from a tree.

"[grunts] [sigh] Phew. [gasp] O-oah." Applejack said stumbling around kicking apple trees.

"What the fuck is she doing?" I asked.

"This is a little weird for Applejack." Caleb said.

"Yeah. I mean it's not like her to act like this." Justice added.

We walked over towards her and saw she was sleeping standing up. "Hey Applejack!" Twilight yelled at Applejack trying wake her up.

"Applejack!" Spike yelled.

"Hey! Wake up AJ!" I yelled.

"AJ! Wake up!" Justice yelled shaking her.

"Allow me." Caleb said. He then got in front of her and kissed her cheek. Applejack woke up from the kiss blushing.

"Huh? Oh, howdy, Caleb, Twilight, Keshaun, Justice, and Spike." Applejack said getting back to kicking apple trees.

"What is all this?" Twilight asked.

"It's Applebuck season. Whoa." Applejack said tripping after kicking another tree.

"What's Applebuck season?" Spike asked confused.

"It's what the Apple family calls harvestin' time. We gather all the apples from the trees so we can sell 'em." Applejack explained.

"But why are you doing it all alone?" Twilight and I asked.

"'cause Big McIntosh hurt himself." Applejack answered.

"What about all those relatives we've met when we first came to Ponyville? Can't they help?" Twilight asked.

"They were just here for the Apple family reunion. They actually live all over Equestria and are busy harvestin' their own orchards. So, uh, I'm on my own." She said going to another tree. Twilight teleported us in front of Applejack.

"Which means, I should really get back to work. Ahem... hint hint? Get back to work?" Applejack said shifting her eyes to the tree.

"Fine." Twilight said moving out Applejack's way.

"Could you step aside, Twilight?" Applejack said.

"Um, she did." I said.

"Applejack, you don't look so good." Twilight said concerned.

"Eh, don't any of you three worry none, I'm just fine and dandy. Whoa." Applejack said going back to bucking the trees.

"Applejack do you need some help?" I asked her.

"Help? No way, no how." Applejack said getting mad.

"But there's no way you can do it all on your own." Twilight said trying to stop Applejack.

"Is that a challenge?" Applejack asked getting in Twilight's face.

"No. But you can't do this on your own." Twilight said.

"Well, I'm gonna prove to you that I can do it! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got apples to buck." Applejack said as she began to buck another tree.

A few hours later.

As we were back at the library we were each doing something. Justice was meditating. Spike was reading a comic book. Caleb was cooking. And I was playing with my guitar I had for 2 years.

All of a sudden there was a crash near the balcony. We ran to see Rainbow Dash on the railing.

"Can I help you?" Twilight asked still reading her book.

"I think somepony else needs your help." Rainbow said dizzy from what happened.

"Applejack?" I asked.

"Yep." Rainbow answered.

"Caleb come with me." I said as I pulled Caleb. "Spike help with Caleb's dish." I said.

"Okay." Spike said.

We went back to Sweet apple acres with Twilight to find Applejack still harvesting.

"Applejack, can we talk?" Twilight asked. "Can bees squawk?! I don't think so." Applejack yelled.

"No. Can we talk?" Twilight asked again.

"Twenty stalks? Bean or celery?" Applejack asked/yelled.

"No! I need to talk to you." Twilight said getting louder.

"You need to walk to the zoo? Well, who's stoppin' you?" Applejack yelled confused.

"We want to talk to you!" Caleb and I yelled.

"Oh! Well why didn't you say so? What do you wanna talk about?" Applejack asked.

"Rainbow Dash dropped in to see us today." Twilight yelled.

"That's quite neighborly of her." Applejack said.

"Yes, except that she crashed onto our balcony after you launched her into the air." Twilight said.

"Oh, yeah. I wasn't feeling quite myself this morning." Applejack said ashamed of herself.

"Because you're working too hard and you need help." Twilight said.

"What? Kelp? I don't need kelp. I don't even like seaweed." Applejack said confused.

"HELP! You need HELP!" Twilight screamed.

"Nothin' doin', Twilight. I'm gonna prove to you, t'everyone, that I can do this on my own. Ow! Now if you'll excuseme, I've gotta go help Pinkie Pie." Applejack said furious. After that we went back to the library.

Another few hours later.

"We came as soon as we heard Nurse Redheart." Twilight said as Justice, Spike, Caleb, and I saw something horrible. Multiple ponies suffering from something.

"What happened?" I asked.

"It was a mishap with some of the baked goods." Nurse Redheart said.

"No, not baked goods, baked bads." Pinkie said before puking her guts out.

"Applejack." Twilight said.

"I'm gonna see what I can do to help out. See ya." Spike said throwing away some muffins.

"I'll try to help out too." Justice said.

"Okay I'll see you all soon." I said running towards Sweet apple acres.

When we got to the acres. We saw that Applejack was on a cart and was pulling 'a turtle on it's back impression'.

"Applejack, we need to talk." Twilight said.

"Wha, huh? Oh, Twilight, Caleb and Keshaun. [yawn] I know what you're gonna say, but the answer is still no." Applejack said refusing for help.

"Not to upset your applecart, but you need help." I said.

"Hardy har. [groan] And no I don't." Applejack said sarcastically and trying to get the cart up.

"Here, let us help." Caleb said trying to help.

"Help? No thanks. [groan] A little more... [groan] Little... [grunt] There." Applejack said getting the apple cart on it wheels.

"I'll prove that this apple can handle these apples. Come on [grunt] apples [grunt] fall off [grunt]." Applejack said getting angry.

"AJ, I think you're beating a dead... tree." I said as she looked up at a dead tree.

"I knew that." She said.

"Actually, Applejack, I had something else to talk to you about. We just came back from Ponyville Urgent Care and--" Twilight said before being interrupted by Applejack.

"You know, I'm a little busy to get lectured right now, Twilight." Applejack said getting furious.

"But if you'd just let us help--" "Ugh. No, no, NO! How many times do I gotta say it? I don't need no help from no one!" Applejack yelled.

"Ugh. That pony is stubborn as a mule." Twilight said as a mule neighed next to us.

"No offense man." I said.

"None taken." The mule said.

A few more hours later

"STAMPEDE!" Rainbow yelled as a stampede of baby bunnies came charging into Ponyvile. Thousands of paws stamped the ground.

Twilight, Spike, and I were walking towards the store to get some ingredients. I noticed that the three flourist we're on the ground.

"The horror, the horror." "It was awful." "A disaster. A horrible, horrible disaster." The three flourist said.

"I don't get it."Twilight said confused as Ponyvile was fine.

"Maybe they had been gardening for too long and it is summer." I said.

"Our gardens, destroyed." "Every last flower, devoured." "By... by... THEM!" They each said as a pony named Daisy pointed to something really cute.

"Oh my. Oh... Please stop, little bunnies. Oh no! Please, let's go home. Oh my goodness." Fluttershy said trying to stop a bunch of baby bunnies.

"Okay. We need to stop this." I said.

"I agree Keshaun. Applejack has gone too far with this." Twilight said as we head for Sweet apple acres.

Twilight, Caleb, Justice, Spike, and I got to Sweet apple acres trying to find Applejack. When we found Applejack she was still trying to harvest on her own.

"Must [gasp] keep [gasp] buckin'... just [gasp] a few [gasp] more. Must finish harvestin'." Applejack said about to collapse at any moment.

"All right, Applejack. Your applebucking hasn't just caused you problems, it's over-propelled Pegasus', practically poisoned plenty of ponies, and terrorized bushels of brand new bouncing baby bunnies. I don't care what you say, you. Need. Help." Twilight said furious of Applejack's pride.

"[grunts] Ha! No, I don't. Look, I did it. I harvested the entire Sweet Apple Acres without your help. How d'ya like them apples?" Applejack said with pride and glee.

"Um, you missed a few trees." I said.

"How many did I miss?" Applejack asked.

"1,2,3,4...about 3,000. At the least." Justice said as he counted.

"[mumbling] Where'd all the apple...? [mumbling] [sighs]" Applejack said as she passed out.

"Applejack do you need mouth to mouth?" Caleb asked concerned.

"Caleb will you just date her already?" Justice said sarcastically.

"Shut it you two. She's coming back to us." I said giving her some space to breathe.

"Oh, good, you're okay. Now Applejack, I completely respect the Apple family ways. You're always there to help anypony in need, so maybe you can put a little of your stubborn pride aside and allow your friends to help you." Twilight letchered.

"Okay, everyone." Applejack said letting go of her pride.

"I am not taking "no" for an answer--what?" Twilight said surprised.

"Yes, Twilight. Yes, please. I could really use your help." Applejack said basically begging for help.

"Glad you decided to let go of that stubborn pride. Reminds me of someone else who can do for that." I said.

Everyone got to helping out with the harvest. Justice almost broke the trees punching them to make the apples fall. Caleb was shacking the trees to make the apples fall. I was kicking the trees in crimson battler mode. Caleb and Justice were also in their true forms. Spike was using magic to pull the apples off.

"Dear Princess Celestia,
My friend Applejack is the best friend a pony could ever have, and she's always there to help anypony. The only trouble is, when she needs help, she finds it hard to accept it, so while friendship is about giving of ourselves to friends, it's also about accepting what our friends have to offer.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said reading her note to Celestia.

"How about y'all take a little break? I got some fine apple juice waitin' for ya! [sigh] Everyone, I can't thank you enough for this help. I was acting a bit stubborn." Applejack said feeling sorry.

"A bit? I hate to see a lot." I said joking.

"Okay. A mite stubborn, and I'm awful sorry. Now, I know the town gave me the Prized Pony award, but the real award is having you nine as my friends." Applejack said.

"Phew! That applebucking sure made me hungry." Rainbow said drinking her apple juice.

"Hey Caleb didn't you make ramen?" I asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Caleb asked looking at me.

"Did you make enough for everyone else?" I asked.

"Yeah there should be enough for everyone." Caleb answered.

"Cool who feels like having ramen for dinner tonight?" I asked everyone.

"Yeah." Everyone agreed.

"Ok dinner at our house." I said as we all head to the library.
