Applejack walked into the dining room, where Granny Smith and her little sis Apple Bloom were waiting for her. Applejack had called a meeting. "Alright y'all. Here's the problem. We got a heapin' pile of extra apples sitting in the barn and they are all surplus apples from last week that didn't sell. That big party Pinkie threw for Twilight at Sugarcube Corner in celebration of Twilight's second year living in Ponyville filled so many ponies with cakes and cookies that they musta notta needed to buy their usual amount of Sweet Apple Acres apples. And it resulted in us having all these apples that wont sell and will spoil soon if we don't get them moved on outta here." Applejack was frustrated. She hated it when the farm's business hit bumps in the road. It was a lot of hard physical labor just to get the farm running at productive levels of profit, even harder when sales figures became affected by the weather, theft, wild animals, and pinkie's parties. Applejack slammed her hoof on the table. "So what are we gonna do? We gotta get these apples sellin' without just givin' them away fer free. Any ideas?" Applejack paused and looked at her grandmother and sister, both of them pretty quiet and reserved, at least for ten seconds. "Anything?" -
The rooster crows at the first light. As the sun peeks over the horizon, settled fog is exposed in the valleys of the apple orchard giving it the nonverbal command to quickly disperse. Conditions were perfect. It was a relatively beautiful day with a chilly breeze to remind all living creatures of the coming holiday seasons, the first of which was to be a Ponyville tradition known by ponies far and wide. It was cider season at Sweet Apple Acres! Along the road back to Ponyville from the farm were rows and rows of tents where ponies camped last night in an attempt to try and beat the crowds. The famous cider had created an insane demand for its taste, but the Apple family way of doing things would only yield so much cider for so many ponies to drink. Applejack would always assure everypony that there would be enough cider for all as long as ponies were willing to not take shortcuts and wait for the process of making the best cider in Equestria. And even though she would always be faced with criticism of short supply, she would be right all along and in time everyone would eventually go home happy and Applejack would be able to take a few barrels of cider for her family and herself for the next few weeks. The season wouldn't officially start for another hour or so, but even so several ponies were getting restless in their cooperative lines waiting behind the great cider counter set up at where the farm paths meet the road. The counter was adorned with all the spigots and tools needed to uncork new barrels and squeeze the apple nectar into wooden tankards, which were clean ready for their first pour. Applejack allowed ponies to bring their own vessels for the cider, but if not, she had a rotation of clean mugs ready for every customer that needed them. The sign above told everything everycreature probably already knew. 'Two bits for a cup, limit one per pony per day.' "Apple Bloom, could you bring over that spare pump, I think this one might quit on us at some point." Applejack yelled lovingly to her little sister as the orange mare looked over her counter for problems to minimize. To Applejack this was like any other day, it just had the higher volume of customers and slightly more tourism. Ever since the debacle from Flim and Flam trying to put the farm out of business, a healthy coating of sympathy and appreciation covered the cider season operation, with some ponies offering their help on the back end to make more cider and clean equipment involved in the process. Of course, Applejack was more than willing to pay a fair wage to the ones who earned it. She stepped out onto the road and looked down it, seeing the long line of ponies getting excited for their cider breakfast. The low sun reflected off the luster of the Ponyville road. "Howdy! How ya'll doing this morning? You guys ready for cider season to start?" Cider season wouldn't start for several minutes, but it was still nice to have a little moment to make small talk with the colorful ponies of Ponyville to help them manage their expectations and to gauge how impatient the crowd might become this year.

Granola Gracie walked up to the farmhouse of Sweet Apple Acres. The sun had just set and the remaining ambient skylight was reflecting off the wet garbage along the orchard path from the week's long cider festivities. It had been a couple days since the cider rush had died down, but Granola figured the apples were prioritizing inventory before they clean up the farm. Applejack always ran a tight orchard. She visited the farm this evening in order to finally pitch to her tree-loving neighbor a new apple seed. Granola was a botanist. She loved caring for plants and flowers but also enjoyed investigating new species of fauna and even resurrecting lost plants from the ages. Recently she happened upon a discovery that would lead her down the path of possibly inventing a new species of apple. And she couldn't think of another pony that would be more helpful on this task. The brown earth pony gallantly and with a smile, knocked on the door to the farmhouse. Hopefully, Applejack was not too tired to meet with her.

Roads, Tempest has seen plenty of them in her life and walked far too many alone in her youth. Yet here she was walking a road she took many years ago to a town she last saw as a runaway in passing. She did not remember ponyville with much clarity do to how long it has been and her age at the time but what few things she did remember were hardly the same. The town has changed a lot in that time… Some more tall and ugly than others but Twilight's dreadful taste in homes was not her place to judge… But if she lived here she may have to plant a tree or two to cover that eyesore up. But regardless of that atrocity she needed to rest. Maybe not in the form of laying around but more mentally. Being alone left her… Alone with her thoughts and after a few days of that she concluded that was NOT a good idea for her at the moment with the turmoil raging inside of her. How will others feel if they knew the truth? Yes in many ways she was lied to and lead astray… But in other ways she did much of it willingly and even enjoyed it. Reflecting on this was troubling as her time alone gave her plenty of time to dig deep into herself and what she was learning was only making it more… unpleasant. She enjoyed, no, she loved the power she had. With a sigh she pushed her dark thoughts away as best she can and looked to the town she was passing… around. She did not feel ready to just walk in to it, it was far too close to Canterlot. They all must have known what she did and will ask to many things she does not wish to be asked about yet as deep down she did not know how to answer them. Guiding her eyes to the countryside she saw the clear layout of a farm. She remembered that farm, she stole apples from it way back when… Apples… That one with the hat, Applejack was it? She said something about living in ponyville. Was this her farm? Maybe it can giver her the shelter she needed and offer some work as well. Farmers were ever in need of an extra pair of hooves after all and many were not tro shy to take on passing ponies for short bost to pony power. So maybe this Applejack will help. She was a friend of Twilights and seeing as Twilight insisted that she and her were friends… Well, friend of a friend helps a friend? That was how that saying worked… maybe. Whatever it may be She made her way to the farm with the midday sun glittering on the black steel of her armor and undersuit. She has… been hesitant to remove it. She can’t explain why but she felt very vulnerable for now and it supplied her some feeling of familiarity, comfort… Pride. Approaching the gate that marking the entryway to the farm she stopped and looked over the home and farmland before her… Forgotten memories glimmer before her like broken glass on the floor. Hiding, rain, stealing an apple to eat before pushing on. She flicked her ears and closed her eyes as remembered her life as a filly. So young and alone, what if she just… stayed here? Maybe they’d have adopted her? It was pointless to think about yet it lasted longer than she wanted it to. With a frustrated snort of anger she opens her eyes and walked past the gate and into the farm itself. “HELLO!? Eanypony around!?” She yelled out, hoping they were not busy and she was not being to bothersome.

what is she blushing about? -
It had almost been a year, already. Zap was growing up so fast. It wouldn't be too long before his upbringing becomes the responsibility of other ponies living in Ponyville. In the time he has lived in the world he has learned to walk and begin talking. He even had short episodes in which he could fly before his bone mass kept him from hovering indefinitely. When harvest time came, he learned what apples trees look like and how big they are. He has learned that rosebush thorns cause pain when touched, but he has also learned how soft and warm Granny's quilt can be. He barely remembered what it was like when there was snow still on the ground until the white stuff returned, but he is well acquainted with the discomfort from being outside for too long when it is really hot. Seasons for Zap Apple were not a rhythm. To him they were just things that happened with no understanding of the concept. He remembers a strange evening called Nightmare Night, what a fun adventure that was, but he was not aware it will come again. He has experienced everything a year can offer, but he has only experienced them once. And he could not be more entertained. He was busy playing with his toys in the living room at Sweet Apple Acres. He could hear commotion going on in the kitchen, hearing his mother's voice, and Nan-nan's voice too. Big Mac was probably outside doing work, he could think, and Apple Bloom wasn't usually around until later in the day, because of something called school, but her voice could be heard anyway. It seemed like a special day, but he was not sure why. And before he could think about it further, he just had a great idea on how he can further play with his toys. For the past few days he had been trying to beat his record for how high he could stack blocks. His toy blocks, which had symbols written on them, some letters some animals, were mostly useful for stacking. A practical use need not be necessary, Zap had fun trying to stack them as high as he could. In previous attempts he had stood on chairs to place blocks higher. Another time, he stood atop Uncle Big Mac in order to reach the top of his towers of wooden blocks. This time he would try even higher, towards the height of the ceiling. He starting stacking the blocks one by one, humming a song his mother taught him while doing it.

Fixing the Zephyr was going to be a ... difficult experience: But for the sake of her benefactor's pride (and maybe her own), she couldn't bring it back in shambles. Bevel had managed to replace a few of the parts but there was one last component that needed to be replaced. The central focusing crystal. Bevel had been using an artificial crystal in order to make sure the ship had been accumulating the aetheric energy charge needed to bring the ship to Ponyville and back again... however upon "landing" it had been shattered as the zephyr was impaled on the tallest tower of the newest princess's castle and when it was finally removed the ship fell into two pieces at the middle horizontally. During her time in Ponyville, Bevel had been noticing some changes in herself ... and she wasn't sure she liked it. For one thing, she was smiling more often; to most ponies this wasn't that big of a deal and might be seen as a good thing. Bevel gear however had gotten used to her lowered smile quotient since she'd moved away from this blasted country and already the feeling of smiling was only making her remember times when she did it more, which just lead her back (in her memories) to those times that stopped the smiles. Some ponies had been saying her coat, mane and eyes looked less washed out and dreary as they did when she came, and she found her mane was getting... puffier. Even though Bevel was enjoying her time here, she couldn't help but feel somewhere that being in Equestria would only bring her some unnecessary drama that she didn't need right now, or that she'd distract and only prove to hinder someone else's life. It was for the best, In regards to Equestria the only thing she'd really though would be an event that could help her once she got out of here was maybe that consort event held by the same princess whose home she'd "crashed" into. According to the geniuses own (spotty) calculations of the likelihood of Twilight ever speaking, writing, or looking for again -based on past experiences with other intellectuals and factoring how much of a tiny blip she must be on her radar- came out to be a 9999999999999.9 percent likelihood of the two of them simply drifting apart. But those were things left in the past, she needed to focus on the now! Bevel had put various posters over town for a guide in town who was knowledgeable about this "Great Nimbusgait Lake" area, adjacent to Froggybottom swamp and Cloudsdale. Someone strong, dependable, and could likely carry two of the incredibly heavy crystals out of the underground caverns with her, one for the synthesis of the primary component of the transaether focusing crystal and the other just a spare for a worst case scenario. The Mare who applied was somepony by the name of Applejack. Bevel had never heard of her, but then again when Bevel was here she hadn't heard of a new princess being crowned, or even knew about the whole Nightmare moon event. Maybe she was someone important, but right now she was just another pony who had been helping Bevel out without wanting anything in return. And now... here they were; on their way to the trio of lakes on the southern shore with the cloud city of... Cloudsdale looming behind them. The shoreline seemed to almost stretch to eternity from both sides as the two mare's found themselves right in front of the middle lake. Bevel... hadn't been the most talkative of ponies on the trip here so if there was a time to try adn strike up conversation it would likely be now as the inventor had to figure out where the likely location of the cave they needed to find would be... "The map says that the cave these crystals is located in is somewhere on the tract of land that separates lake Cirrus from Lake stratus... and that it is closest to Stratus." She held out the map to Applejack. "Your thoughts, Miss Applejack?" -

So here's my first conclusion. Rainbow Dash is neither the fastest runner or fastest flyer. Pinkie Pie was faster than Rainbow Dash in Party of One and Fluttershy was able to catch up to a Rainbow Dash in The Return of Harmony Part 2. Even though Dashie was hauling Rarity and Pinkie tied to her, Fluttershy was able to pull two ponies of her own, Applejack, who is rumored to be dark matter, and Twilight Sparkle plus her balloon. The issue of 'proper motivation' could be thrown around. But I wanna know what you think. Take your time answering, as you will not be able to change your vote. (because I can't figure out how to set it to that)

"Goo!" Zap Apple uttered towards the orange caretaker. "Gu!" He had a thought. It was a thought of joy, unsubscribed by anypony who could decipher pony baby language. It was a feeling of content. Zap had no other means to express himself. Getting the attention of those around him, and smile and making noises, was all he knew to put his stamp on this existence of life. Should he not need the attention of these much bigger ponies, he might not make a noise. Zap grew to this point about a month old. He could easily trot his little legs across the floor, provided his diaper wasn't giving him an uncomfortable rash. At this moment, however, he was sitting in a highchair in the barn house kitchen, awaiting aerial food commands from his mother. Zap hadn't showed much of a mischievous personality. Perhaps he hadn't had a chance to show just how curious he could be. To his comfort, Zap's chair had no buckle, no restraint, no harness. As the feeder turned away for a moment, Zap was able to slip underneath the highchair table, and on to the wooden floor of the barn. He then scurried to the other room, a room he had explored before, but never without the supervision of those much taller than him.

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Zap Apple Sex: Male Age: Newborn Species: Pegasus Eye colour: Green Coat: Burnt Sienna Mane/Tail: Medium short, straight, layered and slightly messy. Orange with yellow stripe; underdeveloped. Physique: Average small foal Residence: Sweet Apple Acres Occupation: Infant Cutie Mark: None Unique Traits: Overly curious, reactionary and careless. As are most foals, very egocentric History: He was born to mare Applejack. Sire/mare Rainbow Dash. Character Personality and Summary: Fussy. Cries about significant issues. Cries about insignificant issues. Cries about there not being an issue. And poops. Oh, and cries about poop. Though he is only an infant, small clues of his eagerness side are already showing. More than the average foal, he ventures out of his comfort zone, as if on some quest of discover of life's musings. He lacks conviction and will fail to learn easy lessons repeatedly before he understands how ponies should act. Regardless, he is always in good spirits and provided he hasn't bruised his hooves yet, will laugh and giggle unintelligable foal noises to those around him. He is constantly surrounded by family and is very comfortable with all of them. If he meets new ponies he does not recognize he will be curious about who they are but many times will treat them like family all the same. an8OQ18mMq9//Hd5gERLAum1A18D843ycKY//UQ08Vp/C/t//20

Filly Applejack sporting a brand new cutie mark tattoo. Inkbrand's promised her one in Foals at Heart, and Applejack is raring to be, "a big pony naw!" So a tribal apple tattoo right on the cutie mark area is going to be the way to go. Don't question it. Applejack © Hasbro- 7 comments

Not good with backgrounds, but I gave it my best shot darnit. Inkbrand usually spends the holidays with his family in Manehatten, but this Hearth's Warming he's got a little charge to take care of. The two of them (plus friends) are going to make the best of it though. Fun fact: I almost took the lazy route and drew easy and round snowmen on Inkbrand's scarf, but in the end I committed. Because snowponies > snowmen. Applejack © Hasbro- 9 comments

Hello everypony. I'm AceOfSpades1309 and I need actors and actresses for a audio drama series staring Applejack, the Apple Family, and an Original Character. The story is based on a fanfic story by by Kody910 called Scorched, a truly fantastic romance. And I highly recomend reading it before you audition for these roles. There are 5 roles that are needed for this series. The roles are: Applejack Applebloom Big Macintosh Granny Smith The Main Character (His name will be decided later) Now while I do need actors/actresses who sound like the characters on the show (excluding the original character, of course), for the role of Applejack and Applebloom, I need actresses who can display a good range of emotions. Meaning I need for Applejack to sound happy, sad, mad, scared, etc. The same can be said for the character of Applebloom. The part of Big Mac does have some scenes that require some amount of acting, but not as many emotions as his two sisters. Granny Smith really is generally happy in all her scenes, and not much acting is required for her. Again I will stress that before you audition for any of the roles above, please read the story. It is a very great story, and I will need bronies who can commit to playing these characters the best that they can. To audition, simply record the lines for the character(s) you want to try for and upload them to YouTube or any other video sharing site. Then provide a link to the video in this thread. Right now, I'm only really looking for people who sound like the characters from the show, so just the lines you should record are lines from the show. Basically, just fandubs and the like. When I think I've found the people to play Applejack and Applebloom, I will then send those actresses lines from the script to see if they can act with the emotions I need for this project. For the role of the main character, however, I will need the people who are auditioning for this role to record themselves reading the Prologue of the fanfic. The role of the main charcter will also be the narrator for the story, so when recording the lines, simply read it as if you are the main character telling the story, or in other words, from a first person perspective. That's it for now. I hope to hear from you all very soon.

I've been experimenting with downloading/making brushes while practicing landscapes and so far I like the result. And it was about time I drew my favorite apple horse. The grass, trees, mane, and other things were painted by a brush I made.

With a thread filled with small ponies and griffons, a few cute ones are to be expected. But both Inkbrand and myself think the most adorable foal in Foals at Heart, by far, is an age-reduced Applejack. I mean, what are you even suppose to do with a filly that goes charging into a group of complete strangers to show off her collection of frogs? WHAT DO YOU EVEN DO Applejack © Hasbro- 8 comments
