So, y'all want a story, do ya? Well, I got one for ya; it involves fishing, jewelry, and a poorly-planned promise. Starrin' yours truly, ta boot! Not many ponies have heard it, neither, so you three should feel lucky!

A tall tale? Don't be ridiculous, sugarcube! Would I ever lie ta you?

My entry for the tvtropes Pony Fanfiction Thread 2012-2013 Fic Exchange (mouthful).

The prompt, supplied by kegisak; "Applejack attempts to catch a fish for Fluttershy." I definitely overshot the thousand word minimum. Wrote it in two days while listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I'll do a blog post/comment linking all the other entries, if they ever show up on FimFic...
