Applejack and the Remote Sentry Buster

by efug25g


Confessions and Apologizes

After the Wonderbolts brought Applejack into the custody of Wonderbolt HQ, Rainbow Dash's parents filed in lawsuits against Applejack and her siblings and Granny Smith for the damages done on their daughter. Applejack's lawyer meets up with the female earth pony while she was still in jail, going over all the paperwork in the farm pony's civil case. As for Rainbow Dash, her parents and the Wonderbolts demanded a lawsuit of 5,000 bits from the Apple Family. Upon seeing Applejack behind the Sentry Buster incident, the light-blue pegasus was completely shocked and angry at what has ever become of her farm pony friend. For Twilight and Derpy, they have no choice but to secure the Sentry Busters and the remote iPad controller as evidence to be used against Applejack's Civil Case later on. In just several days later, a civil court was being held in session with Spitfire as the judge at Wonderbolts HQ.

At the judge seat, Spitfire is preceding which punishment will be carried out on Applejack.

"Order in the Court. Applejack, who are hereby put on trial for letting a Remote Sentry Buster stalk Rainbow Dash on multiple counts." Spitfire announced in a intense tone of voice. "After investigate all over Ponyville, we have discovered a remote iPad that was used to control these tall two-legged robots, in which has your hoof prints all over it. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF, YOUNG LADY?!!!"

"Well, Rainbow Dash was up to her pranks again." Applejack announced in her defense. "She humiliated me for like three days straight. So, I went to Twi to see if we came find a solution to deal with Rainbow Dash. Without warning, one of those Sentry Busters appeared through the portal, thanks to Derpy Hooves.

Upon hearing what Applejack had to say, most of the Wonderbolts and Rainbow Dash's parents are not taking any of Applejack's statements very seriously. After several minutes of bickering between them and Applejack's family, Spitfire slammed in hammer on the podium five times, ordering every pony to immediate silence before continuing with the civil case.

"Tell me, Applejack. Who else was involved with the Remote Sentry Buster incident?" Spitfire asked the ashamed farm pony.

"Well, Derpy bumped into the portal inside Twi's Castle before those robots came in." Applejack answered "For Twi, she did some research on them, after I gave them a test drive."

"Well, how do you explain that robot wreaking havoc at Wonderbolt HQ when Rainbow Dash was still there??" Spitfire demanded while giving Applejack a very stern look. "Letting an automatic contraption like that run all over a restricted area could cost us a quite a fortune, and can be punishable for 6 months to one of imprisonment!!!"

"Actually, it was on autopilot during that time. And Applebloom and Scootaloo were riding on top of it, tampering with the robot's mechanisms." Applejack said while being embarrassed with herself.

After hearing what Applejack had to say, Spitefire turned towards Princess Twilight for testifying against Applejack.

"So Princess, when you saw that two-legged robot, what did you do first?" Spitfire asked the purple alicorn.

"I went to do some research over it when I found its instruction manual stuck to the iPad controller." Twilight explained. "Believe me, I never touch that remote iPad controller at all. Unfortunately, Applejack just had to grab it and run out the door with it, cackling her head off before I even had a chance to explain the Sentry Buster's details."

"So, you have nothing to do with helping Applejack attack Rainbow Dash with those Sentry Busters?!" Spitfire asked, trying to get the full picture.

"No, I do not." Twilight admitted. "Well, Applejack came up to my doorstep and asked me how to stop the Sentry Buster's from being on autopilot. I did warned Applejack not to get too carried away with ordering those Sentry Busters run around Ponyville. Well, I guess you can say that she went too far in pulling this prank behind Rainbow Dash's back."

After going over what Applejack, Derpy, and Twilight had to say about the incident with the Remote Sentry Buster, Spitfire confirmed that Applejack was the one doing most of the damage upon Rainbow Dash and Wonderbolt HQ, leaving the grey female pegasus and the purple alicorn out of it. As Spitfire moved on, she interviews with Rainbow Dash, going over her witness testimony.

"So, Rainbow Dash, what did you do after we sent you back home to recover from the incident at our HQ?" Spitfire asked.

After giving it some thought, Rainbow finally spoke out to the rest of the public at the civil court. "I went to the Ponyville Hospital to seek some counseling therapy in trying to figure out on how to stop the Sentry Buster from chasing me. That is when I met a therapist named Silver Watch. He suggested for me to have some pony act like a decoy while I go find the source of the problem, accompanied by one of my friends. You already know the rest of that story, right Ma'am?!"

"Of course, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire acknowledged before turning her attention to Soarin. "Soarin, how did it go with distracting that Sentry Buster and luring it away from Rainbow Crash?"

"It was like Tartarus, getting chased all over Ponyville by those horrible things!!!" Soarin said, while still shaken from his recent chase all over the town. "Not to mention that several other ponies got caught up in this chaotic chase."

"Applejack!!!" Spitefire hissed at the farm pony mare. "You owe every pony a really big apology for letting such damages occur in Ponyville and at Wonderbolt HQ."

"Wat about her, ah?!" Applejack asked denying her guilt towards Spitfire as she pointed her hoof at Rainbow Dash. "She owes me an apology from pulling all those pranks on me over the past 3 days."

Despite Applejack's pleading, the Wonderbolts and Rainbow's parents were shouting back at her, calling her a liar. Just when it starts to get worse, Spitfire continuously slammed on the podium with her hammer, demanding total silence.

"That's enough everypony!!!" Spitfire shouted. "Applejack, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to......"

"Okay! Okay!!" Rainbow shouted demanding attention towards every pony. "I'll make a confession. I was just bored not getting Applejack's attention when I attended the last Wonderbolts performance in Ponyville a month earlier. She promised that she would show up, but never did. I was a little disappointed that we ended our performance without Applejack. So, I wanted to have a bit of fun with her first."

"Rainbow Dash, I had an Apple Family Celebration to attend to at Manehattan; it was Uncle Orange's birthday during that time," Applejack confessed. "Ah never had any time ta stay around to see yer performance at Ponyville since Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Granny Smith were calling me over der."

Upon hearing both of their confessions in the court, Spitfire, again, demanded total silence between both sides.

"I SAID ENOUGH!!!" Spitfire demanded out loud, startling every pony in Rainbow's Family and in Applejack's Family. "If what you both say is true, then I will have no choice but to reduce the Rainbow's Lawsuit down to 2,500 bits and have the other half sent straight to Ponyville. Do I make myself clear?!"

"Yes, ma'am!!!" Both the pegasus and farm pony mares responded in a positive tone.

"And you, Rainbow Dash!!" Spitfire continued as she gave the light-blue pegasus a stern glare. "If I ever hear from you pulling another prank to any pony in Ponyville, other than just Applejack, you will be suspended from the Wonderbolts until further notice. Do you understand me?!"

"Yes, ma'am!!" Rainbow said, feeling ashamed of herself for starting this fiasco, as she saluted her commanding officer.

"Good! Court adjourned!!!" Spitfire announced as she slammed her hammer on top of the podium one more time, ending the civil case.


After leaving the court, Applejack and her family were working overtime at the Apple Farm in selling apple products before sending most of their hard-earned money straight to Ponyville and to Wonderbolt HQ. As for Rainbow Dash, she made it up to Applejack by helping her buck Apples at Sweet Apple Acres before having Big Mac haul them to their street vendors at Ponyville.

"Well, now!" Granny Smith grunted as she started at the smirking pegasus. "Ah hope ya learned yer lesson for messing around my granddaughter like dat."

"Yeah, I know!" Rainbow said in a embarrassed tone. "I didn't think that Applejack would get back at me like that."

Rainbow kicked one tree with her left hind leg while in mid-air, knocking down a couple of apples as they fall into a bucket right below her.

"Well, I'm sorry for not understanding the risks in letting such a contraption run around like dat," Applejack told Rainbow Dash while kicking another tree with her hind hooves, making several more apples fall straight into a nearby bucket.

"I guess we got a little carried away when we both have something going on that's far apart from our friendship routine," Rainbow muttered to herself.

"So, what do ya want ta do then to make up with dis, ah?!" Applejack asked the cyan pegasus.

"How about we both celebrate our events in one day, next year?!" Rainbow Dash suggested to the farm pony mare.

"Ah guess dat might work," Applejack acknowledged Rainbow's idea. "Well ah do need to talk to my relatives first to see if we can work something out between you and I."

"You bet!!" Rainbow replied in a positive tone as she and Applejack both made a hoofbump at each other.
