"Granny, it's me, Applejack. Ah just wanna talk. Can ah come in?"

"Well, of course ya can!"

Granny Smith opened the door to find Applejack, looking distraught and depressed.

"What's wrong, young'in?" asked Granny with concern, "You can tell me anything, ah'm yer grandmother, 'member?"

Applejack sighed. "Apparently not biologically..."

Granny's face suddenly became fearful. "Ah was afraid this day would come..."

Applejack sat down and sighed.  "How did y'all find me?" she asked.

"Well," began Granny Smith, trying to remember, "yer parents and ah found ya in the middle o' the orchard when you were just a baby. And boy howdy, were you a rowdy little one.  We tried everything we could to calm ya down, but nothin' we tried kept ya from bitin' an' kickin'... until one day, 5-year-old Big Mac accidentally knocked ya into a tree. You weren't seriously hurt or nothin', but whatever it was that made ya so angry, ya seemed to just forget about it! Really mellowed out afterwords, too. The only thing different about ya was a second tail... kinda like a monkey's or somethin'. It wasn't until after yer parents died that we finally got rid of it."

Applejack sighed. She hated to admit it to herself, but this Raditz pony seemed to be right after all.

"Why'd ya ask, hun?" inquired Granny.

Applejack braced herself.

"Well... there's this stalion who claims to be mah biological brother. He's got Apple Bloom, and he wants me ta kill a hundred ponies in order to spare her life..."

"Ain't no sister o' mine gonna kill innocent ponies ta save her family," said Big McIntosh at that moment as he entered the room. "Blood related or not, yer still an Apple. And an Apple never lets their fears get the better of 'em."

Applejack sighed in relief. "Thanks, Big Mac," she said, "Ah needed that." And she hugged both of them.





The next day...

"Well, Kakarotta?" asked Raditz in annoyance, "I'm waiiiiting."

Applejack looked around her. Surrounding her were Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Big Mac, all looking at her confidently.

She then turned to Raditz. "No," she said proudly.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?" he demanded in outrage. His blood was boiling with the fury of a supernova.

"Ah said... 'no.' Or perhaps ah haven't made myself clear?"

"YOU DARE REFUSE YOUR OWN BROTHER?!?"

"Ah told you," said Applejack, firmly yet confidently, "You ain't no brother of mine." She wrapped her hoof around Big Mac. 

"THIS," she continued, "is mah brother. Now if y'all know what's best for ya, ah suggest ya gimme back my sister and leave this planet forever."

The others applauded at this.

Raditz's fury was reaching critical mass. "FINE!! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP ANYWAY!! BECAUSE AS THE OLD PROVERB STATES, 'IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT, YOU MUST DO IT YOURSELF!!'" he shouted.

"The Princesses are on important business in Neighgeria at the moment," noted Twilight, "so it seems we're on our own. What do you propose we do, Applejack?"

"Just follow mah lead," she replied.
