On a quest to find a better breed of apple, Applejack and her family go to a distant land to meet her cousin Fuji. Only thing is...she's a mute kirin.
Her family seems to not mind the fact that they all might be part kirin, and Autumn Blaze is ecstatic, but Applejack can't help but think this is a lousy prank pulled by you know who...
Gosh I never intended this story to be an AppleDash fic, but I entered it into the contest anyway. You'll find out why once you read it.
Rated T for mild innuendo. Takes place three years after the series finale.

Oh god... Blaze has caught a terrible case of The Ponk. Call a doctor, and then call a priest.

Neat
Why was Applejack so against being related to kirins? Given she's in a relationship with a pegasus that seems pretty hypocritical.

Good point, but I guess my argument would be that pegasi and earth ponies are both ponies (same species) while kirin are a different species.

They're at least half-pony, though, aren't they?

...I guess you're right, Cousin Fuji would be "half pony". But Cousin Fuji doesn't really exist so it doesn't matter one way or the other.

Possibly one-quarter pony.
Fuji, if she had actually existed, could have been Applejack's half-cousin from her late grandfather's potential first marriage to a kirin mare. Or, perhaps Fuji could have been Applejack's second cousin. Both these possibilities are hinted by the fact that Granny Smith acknowledges Fuji as Applejack's cousin, but does not acknowledge Fuji as her own granddaughter.
Haha, the ending is so funny
Little note: "hooey" is when something is untrue. It's akin to calling B.S. "Hoo-wee" is a cry of excitement. So AJ should have said "hoo-wee, I don't know what to say."
It's not the destination, it's the journey. This was gentle and amusing.
I don't really like Appledash at all (too much RL experience with those sorts of relationships) but this was still a good story.

Fixed.
So... Cousin Fuji isn't real...
OR IS SHE???

Sequel, perhaps...?
>appledash
why is it that all the good premises have garbage ships attached to them
Gaslighting someone is kinda harsh in prank terms.

Guess Rainbow Dash didn't learn her lesson.

I mean have you read the DNA test series here on fimfiction where it's theorized that kirins are a subspecies of unicorns

It tastes worse than heath.
11055695
Thanks, fixed. What is heath, exactly...?
11055707
It's kind of ambiguous, isn't it? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heath
But I guess eating heath would probably be either eating dirt, or a combination of dirt and unpalatable plants and maybe some pebbles and rocks, or eating the unpalatable plant.
But please thank LightningStrike34 instead of me! The typo note originates with them; I only made a joke about it.

(I immediately added:)
Also, after your story that included a movie called "Trees of the Everfree," my guess was you might already know what a heath was (even if you don't know it by that name) because I thought your depiction of the land use history of the Everfree fit upland areas of the U.K. that have had heathlands.So I guess it might taste like a bog? :-)
