35. Farmers vs. Hicks

Inside the house at Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are in the basement, setting up their sleeping bags for later that night. Apple Bloom has on a short sleeve red T shirt and blue bib overalls with the pant cuffs rolled up. Sweetie Belle wore a long green short sleeve gown that goes down to just below the knees.
And, Scootaloo has on a long sleeve flannel shirt and blue jeans with suspenders. Her pant cuffs are rolled up too.
“I’m sorry, guys.” Apple Bloom said sadly. “I thought having you two join me in a barefoot expedition was going to be fun. Not like a horror show.”
“Hey, chill out.” Scootaloo responded. “It’s not your fault that two scary looking characters would jump out and scare us.”
The farm girl felt a sweet hug from Sweetie Belle.
“Thanks, guys.” Apple Bloom said retuning the hug.
Sweetie Belle got a little curious. “What happens now, Apple Bloom?”
“Applejack and Big Mac are checking out the cornfield where we got spooked. They said they know who did this to us.”
At the cornfield, Applejack and Big Macintosh search the area.
“This is where my sister and her friends got scared.” Applejack said quietly.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac quietly relied. “It’s time we flush them out.”
Applejack nodded, and raised a bullhorn she was carrying, and shouted into it. “Okay, Sarah and Mabel! We know y’all are around here somewhere. Come on out!”
Out of the cornfield, two creepy hooded woman jumped out. They both wore bib overalls, one has on a green shirt and a white hood. The other wore a red shirt and a black hood.
“How did ya figure out is was us?” The black hooded woman, Mabel, asked.
“My sister, Apple Bloom, and her two friends said that two hooded characters gave them quite a scare.”
“Your sister is the farm kid with the pretty bow, right?” The white hooded woman, Sarah, wondered.
“That’s right. And, by the descriptions we were given, I figured it was you two!”
Sarah gave a loud chuckle. “I guess our reputations are known by many.”
Big Mac looked at Mabel with interest. “Sporting a black mask, huh?”
“Sure am!” Mabel said as she chuckled. “I figured I go a little nostalgic.”
As the hooded hooligans continued to laugh cruelty, Applejack got their attention. “If you two critters don’t leave right now, we’re putting a call out to the reform school.”
The two hicks stopped laughing as Big Mac stepped in. “Eeyup. We heard that you two are missed.”
Sarah and Mabel got a bit nervous, hearing that.
“I think we better take it on the lam!” Mabel suggested.
“Yeah. Without delay.” Sarah agreed.
The two hooded woman soon took off. The siblings watched as Sarah and Mabel ran away from Sweet Apple Acres.
“Looks like that’s the last we’ll see of those mischief makers.” Applejack said.
Big Mac agreed with his sister. “Eeyup.”
