With Big Mac and her friends unable to help her with this season's applebucking, Applejack thought she was going to be the only one to take on the enormous task. That is, until she meets Derpy.

Probably.

Together, they have overcome all manner of evil threats in the Crystal Empire and beyond. So, when Princess Twilight Sparkle requests that Shining Armor arrive in Ponyville to look after the quaint, humble farming village for a single day, Shining feels that he and his partner are overqualified for the challenge. But is that necessarily a good thing?
