There's always something to do on a farm. Big Mac shoulders a bulk of the physical labor--quite literally--and plows every field faithfully. But one field is special to him. He tends it year after year, even though it doesn't grow hardly anything.

Applejack has known about her older brother's "secret project" for years. She finally confronts him about it. She wants answers, and she's not leaving until she gets them.

Was a bit vary of reading such a short story, but glad I did. It was simple, in-character (expect maybe for the stuttering), heart-warming, and all around satisfying. Good job.

The stutter was just my theory on his overall silent nature. I like to over-think characters and motivations for their behaviors. Mac's general silence is a big part of who he is, and I wanted to touch on one possible reason for it.

I'm glad you liked the story, though. Thanks for the comment! :eeyup::ajsmug:

I think it will come to life.

:trollestia: What's a barn doing in my throne room and half of Ponyville for that mater?

Very excellent job on characterization - kinda envious on how you nailed the southern drawl so well. I could actually hear their voices clearly and that's a feat for many writers. Kudos!

Not... sure if I care for the stutter idea. I read your perspective and salute the headcannon... but meh, not my personal choice. Still worked well for the story!

Operation Slice of Life: success.
