When Applejack is overtaken by something more mysterious than ever imagined, it's up to the rest of the Elements to find out what happened. What they find is more surprising than anything else...

Loosely based on a story of the same name by Ray Bradbury, a science fiction author.

I had no idea what was going on, but the mystery behind it is what makes me want to read it more, if you can keep doing a great a job in the next chapters I think you could have an excellent fic on your hands. Keep up the great work! :raritywink:

Thanks a lot! I'm only planning to do three or so chapters, because I got the idea from a short story I read. :twilightsheepish:

It's still waiting to be approved. By tomorrow morning it should be up.

1157964
Don't worry, we all get inspiration from somewhere. I got the idea for my fic 'Always Faithful' of a comic.
I can't wait to see the rest of the chapters. :twilightsmile:

Okay, as Psicosis said, I literally had no idea exactly what was happening, but I definitely want to read more. I really hope this takes off, it looks very interesting!

I'm glad you like it. Once it's up, I think it will be more well received than my first story. Of course, I'm not sure.:trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Ironic that I am doing a unit on Ray Bradbury, however I do like this short story and look forward to more.
Sad that he died this summer...

It is sad that he died. I was hoping to both have a good story and a way to give his soul some justice. So far, both have happened.

Mmh maybe it's a little vague as start: strong enough to catch my attention, but not to let me guess what's going on, nor judge the story.. Anyway if a next chapter will be written, or more than one, i'll read it gladly (:

i admin you put on me a shroud of curiosity... :P is she affected by a disease? or is something like a curse? she seems to know what's going on, maybe is something that happens periodically? c'mon give me a hint :3 i'll repay you with mustaches :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:



Ooh, by the way, i enjoyed the reading (:

1162735 There are more chapters planned, it is something of a disease, it happens once every five hundred years (not necessarily to her), there is no known cure, and the effects last for the rest of the afflicted's life. Expect the worst, plan for the best. :ajbemused:

1162795 Already have the whole drawing in your mind i see... i hope fluttershy will have a main role in the story, i love that character despite in most of the fics has an almost unimportant part, now i think just one thing that can be summarized with this pic:

1162821 While I can't promise that she'll be the main character, she does have an important role in the story. She knows what's happening.

By the way, how fast is Mach 5? I bet you can guess who goes that fast... :yay:

I don't know what the hell is going on, but something tells me that it is going to be awesome.

Very well done! I still wish you hadn't kept me in suspense :trixieshiftleft: Still, can't wait for the ending! :pinkiehappy:

1164354 Oh, you'll find out.
1164364 I meant to make the ending a bit different, but I was pressed for time.

It seems to be obvious what is happening to Applejack, but I have no idea why it happens, and what will be the outcome.
Good story so far.


Now I have butterfly version of Applejack in my mind. :derpytongue2:

1165611 Good guess, but you're a bit off. I've got something else planned.

1167806 That made my day. :pinkiehappy:

The formatting is a bit wonky, but other than that I really love where this is going. :twilightsmile:

1169242 How so? I mean the formatting, what's wrong with it? Just curious.

Big Macintosh hurtled down the street, pulling a wildly swerving cart behind him. In this cart was a hysterical Rarity. The body of Applejack was also in the cart. Although Applejack was not dead, she seemed very close to becoming so.
As Rarity tried her best to stay in the cart and keep an eye on Applejack, she thought she noticed something. Was Applejack turning...green?
^ That is the first paragraph of your fic. It doesn't look it here, but its all over the place for example.
My name is Psi
how do you do?

Some parts appear like that. I hope I didn't sound rude explaining that. :twilightblush:

1169291 Thanks for the info, I'll check it out and try to fix it. By the way, no infomative statement if ever rude. At least, not on the internet. But really, who knows what anything means on the internet anyway? What I'm trying to say is that no, it wasn't rude. :derpyderp2:

1169451
No problem, and I'm glad to hear that. :twilightsmile:

Well, here it is. I was pressed for time throughout the day, so it isn't my best work. Still, I think it turned out alright. What do you think?

Quit leaving us with cliffhangers!

1176878 I refuse. Cliffhangers are a part of life! They keep the reader interested!

1177104 It's fine when there's a lot to read, but you have really short chapters.

well, title is explained XD anyway it's interesting... :)

1177111 Sorry about my earlier comment, I was tired. I understand what you mean. I hope my next chapter is short enough to not be boring and long enough to have a cliffhanger.
1180407 Thanks! That's the ending I was hoping for in the last chapter, but I didn't have enough time the other day.

Out of curiosity are you planning to do a Fahrenheit 451 inspired fanfic?

1244319. You know what? That comment just made me add that to my list of ideas. Thanks, I honestly would not have thought of that until now.

Alert! Alert! Ultimate story coming! Kirby! Ponies! Meta Knight! Dedede! Demon beasts!

To fully understand everything I'll be referencing, here is a video. :pinkiehappy:

Or, for you crazies who don't like Japanese subbed videos, here's the American version. :pinkiesick:

Have fun and enjoy the possible Kirbyness.

Wow, this is a pretty cool-

That's it? No more chapters?
