I dragged my sorry flank onto The Apple Family Farm. Ears folded back in anger at myself, poor Fluttershy would never look at me the same way again that’s for sure.

“Howdy! If it ain’t Scoot-a-shoot!” Applejack shouted from inside her family barn, a large smile covering her muzzle.

“Mmhmm. Bloom home?” I sighed softly.

“Nope. She and Big Mac went out to market, should be home later sugarcube!” The copper mare galloped over swiftly, her dark green eyes gazing into mine lovingly.

“Well that’s just great…” I huffed in a pout.

“What’s eating at you hon?” The mare asked with a look of worry in her eyes.

“Pfft. No Parents.” I rolled my eyes towards her in a scoff.

“You little runt!” She suddenly snapped back in anger, eyes narrowing down to me in growing anger.

“Huh?”

“Sure we don’t have no parents! That don’t make us odd or lesser than anypony else!” She growled, puffing out her chest a bit in defense.

“Uh! Homeless!?” I stumbled over my words as I slowly started to back up, my words falling to pieces in my mouth.

“Never! After our folks passed we were never homeless! Granny made sure of that!, worked her hooves to the bone to care for us!” Applejack smashed her hoof into an apple on the ground, smashing it into a pulp in one strike.

“No! Uh? Dead Parents!” I yelled out to her in a shrill voice, unable for the life of me to speak in a normal tone.

“Grrr! You stay right where you are!” She huffed in anger and spun around, galloping over to her barn.

“Where you going?” I finally spit out.

“Just gettin’ some rope to string ya’ up with! Goin’ to beat ya’ like a old carpet!” She yelled back from the barn calmly as my eyes grew wider.

I jolted off the property as fast as I could. Heart racing wildly in my chest while I rushed towards Ponyville once again.

What else could go wrong today?
