A part of Applejack's mind--the smallest part--felt awfully sorry for Twilight Sparkle. After all, not many ponies could endure the farmer's flat glare. Twilight, in particular, wasn't in the best stature. Unless shaking apart with copious amounts of sweat counted.
Then, of course, was the rest of Applejack--the parts that crushed all sympathy with a domineering hoof. The parts that twitched and boiled at a foal's piercing cries. Applejack's glare hardened on Twilight, using every shred of discipline she had to resist crushing the blue baby Pegasus in her forehooves.
"Fix it." AJ's voice was hard as diamond. As chilled as ice on Twilight's neck.
"I... I-I--"
"Fix. It."
"I don't think I-"
"Your next words? Choose 'em real smart-like, Twilight," Applejack said with narrowing eyes.
The stomach twisting gulp from Twilight nearly had the farmer smiling. But any enjoyment gained from this died at those damnable, ear-bleeding cries.
āI donāt remember how Iāā Twilightās eyes shot to her hooves. āIām sorry, Applejack. R-Rainbow surprised me! She knows how jumpy I am! I just freaked oāā
The baby Pegasus spit up something fierce. Orange fore hooves coated with yellow. Applejackās teeth bared. Twilightās words died on her tongue. āSo what youāre sayinā isā¦ā Applejack slid her Stetsonās brim over her eyes. Slowly. āYāall turned my partner intoā¦ this. And ya canāt un-turn her?ā
Even through her hat, those sharp, lung-crushing eyes remained on Twilightās, ignoring the unicornās quaking legs. And trying to ignore all the horrible things she could do with bookshelves and desks.
Twilight gave her best smile. Her most convincing, well-patented, horribly crooked smile. āDoes it help that Dash is super cute like this?ā
-----------
āGAH! Applejack!ā Twilight cried, hogtied to her libraries highest tree branch. Every attempt to teleport away, thwarted by the cork on her horn.
Applejack smiled at the squirming unicorn, a bouncy giggly foal sitting on her back. āWhatās that, Dashie? She canāt turn ya back if sheās tied up?ā Applejack flicked her Stetsonās brim. āSounds like a personal problem.ā
Applejack gave the little foal a side-glance. And somehow, despite every implication, complication, and every doubt that things would be normal again, she couldnāt erase her smile.
āHeh. Sure are a giggler, aināt ya?ā Aj was answered with a dwarfed burp.
Soon, the farmer found herself laughing. She couldnāt help herself as she scooped the little Pegasus into her hoof and nuzzle her to pieces. Sure, Rainbow Dash was a foal. Sure, Twilight didnāt know how to change her back. Sure Applejack wouldnāt untie the poor librarian any time soon.
And if she was stuck tending a baby for a while?
Well, a little practice never hurt anypony.
