//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Relative of Apple Annie: Greatest Sharpshooter in Equestria // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// The next day, Applejack returns to Goldy's to hear a bit more about her great aunt before heading off to the rodeo that afternoon. Applejack, once at the rodeo, excitedly goes off to practice her great aunt's trick. She practices the trick for over five hours before finally going out and doing the trick in front of all the rodeo attendees. As she does the trick, the attendees go wild. They go even more wild as soon as they see that she actually pulled off her great aunt's tri-lasso duel pistol apple shooting extravaganza. After the display, Applejack is bombarded by the press and has her pictures taken and she even gives in and gives them a review. The next day, the newspaper comes out with the title: FIRST PONY TO PULL OFF THE TRI-LASSO DUEL PISTOL APPLE SHOOTING EXTRAVAGANZA-IS IT IN THE BLOOD OR JUST LUCK? Soon, the article makes its way all across Equestria and soon everypony is talking about Applejack. "Wow, Applejack!" says Braeburn to his cousin, "that trick you pulled today was impressive!" "Thanks Braeburn," replies Applejack, "it's great aunt Apple Annie's old trick. I figured I'd give it a go." "You did well," replies Braeburn. "Who knows, maybe you'll become the next Apple Annie?" He begins to laugh as he walks off. Applejack goes off to get prepped for her next event. She's glad the trick went over well yesterday. Now, all she has to do is her hurdle jumping and hay bale throwing events. In comparison, she can definitely agree, these are a whole lot easier than the trick she managed to pull yesterday. A few hours later, she goes out and scores the gold in hurdle jumping and an hour after that, she scores another gold in hay bale throwing. Her sister, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo and her friends cheer from the crowd. Applejack is a success and honestly, she doesn't mind in the slightest.
