The Life of a Wanted Changeling (Comment Driven Story)

by Down with Chrysalis


[FIXED] Episode 16: Having A Talk With Applejack.

You decide to just go ahead and wing it. After all, Applejack is probably too tired to chase you even if she does find out that you aren't the actual purple unicorn. So, with that thought in your mind, you begin to walk over to Applejack.

When you do reach her, you call out her name to try and catch her attention.

"Applejack?"....nothing. You probably didn't call her name loud enough. So, you say her name louder then you did before.

"Applejack!"...still nothing. You start to get annoyed by how she still hasn't woken up yet. So you call her name even louder then before.

"APPLEJACK!”....OH COME ON! How tried can this mare be? She wasn't this tired yesterday, I mean come on, she was able to chase you from town all the way out here, you think to yourself with both annoyance and intrigue. You wonder as to what could have caused Applejack to become so tired, but for now you decide to take drastic measures. You walk over to Applejack's side and you begin to power-up your RCV. When your RCV is fully charged, you scream right into her ear…

"AAAAAAPPPPPLLLLLEEEEEEJJJJJJJAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK

....

.....

......

SWEET LUNA HOW TIRED IS THIS MARE!? You begin to wonder if she is even still alive, when you notice she’s snoring, which means shes alive...that's good. "I give up," you say to yourself in disappointment. Applejacks eyes soundly open and she screams... "HUH WHAT, WHO'S MAKING ALL THAT RACKET!"....You feel like going up to a wall so that you can repeatedly smash your face into it.

"Oh...Twilight, it’s just you, what do you want now?" Applejack says to "Twilight" bitterly. Huh, so that's what that purple unicorns name is.You think to yourself. Applejack is looking at you still, and you don't know how to approach this situation. *ding* You suddenly get a brilliant idea, which is…

Ahh but that's the glory of your situation, don't you see?
You don't need to say much of anything, just get her talking. Lead the conversation and let her fill in the blanks until you have what you need to know.
Use the force, young changeling!

You don't need to say much of anything, you just need to get her talking. You just have to let her fill in the blanks for you. So, with that in mind you begin, "Applejack...." is all you get to say before she interrupts you.

"If this is about how you keep saying that I need help harvesting all these," she points to the millions of apple trees be hide her, " for Applebuck season, then mah answer is still no. I don't need no help from nopony, I can do this on my own!" That last part she stomps her hoof angrily into the ground.

You have no idea as to what ‘Applebuck season’ is, but its probably the reason why Applejack is so tired. Well, that's one question answered, now to find out what I came here for, you think to yourself confidently.

"Actually Applejack, I came here to ask you how you know where a changeling is even if they are disguised," you tell/ask Applejack the question you have been dying to know. Applejack looks at you like you lost your marbles and then says...

"Don't you remember Twi? You cast a spell on me after the wedding. You said it would only*yawn* work on me since I was the Element of Honesty, and a disguise is kind of like a lie. The spell gives me this twitch on mah back whenever a changeling is around," she tells you and then...immediately falls back asleep.

"Huh, so that's how she knows," you say to yourself. "If I help Applejack out, then maybe she won't chase me when she senses me!" you say to yourself confidently. But, how can you help her?

What do you do?
