Standing up for what's right

Applejack had calmed down but didn't seem convinced, pointed out that dragons and humans were dangerous and that the little filly shouldn't run off with creatures she didn't know.

Apple Bloom said she saw Lora around all the time talking with the Sans and Papyrus, Papyrus himself agreed that he and his brother were good friends with the dragoness.

Applejack grumbled that she could let it slide for now, but the human was a different matter. Frisk said they would do anything to prove they were friendly.

They found themselves pulled into a FIGHT and Applejack said to prove it. Frisk had the first move.

* ACT> Check.
* Applejack, Atk- 20, Def- 10.
* An honest, hardworking Earth Pony that runs an apple orchard.
* Smells like apple pie.

Applejack spun around a kicked at them with her hind legs, Frisk moved to the side to avoid getting hit.

* Be careful or you'll 'kick' the bucket.
* MERCY> Spare.

The farm pony was surprised by their unwillingness to FIGHT but sent another kick Frisk's way. They dodged but had the wind knocked out of them by a second kick that took off a few hit points.

* MERCY> Spare.
* Applejack wants you to FIGHT back.

The game of sparing and avoiding attacks continued until...

* Lora has seen your Perserverance and has joined the FIGHT!
* HP fully restored.
* Def increased.

Lora stated that she had couldn't stand by and watch a child be beaten up for no reason. When Applejack protested that they wanted to prove themselves, the luck dragon curtly replied that they were doing this because Applejack wouldn't listen to them or Apple Bloom when they were telling the truth. Applejack floundered and spluttered but Lora kept going and stated that even the hardworking sentry Papyrus had tried to tell her what was going on but it was obvious Applejack was blinded by fear and prejudice.

Lora decided that if it must come to blows, then she'd rather be left a pile a dust than see the blood of yet another child be spilled.

* Applejack is too ashamed to FIGHT.
* MERCY> Spare.
