Prompt: Laundry day (one of the ponies are going through pockets and the stuff they find is somehow...interesting).

Title: Curiosity or "What's wrong with Applejack?"


Laundry day for the Mane 6. Applejack hung her clothes out on the wire next to her friend Twilight's clothes. Applejack noticed something odd, though. Twilight's vest pocket had a piece of paper sticking out of it.

Applejack was not normally a nosy pony. She was, however, a curious one. She slipped up next to the clothing in question and moved her head to the pocket. She pulled out the paper in her mouth and looked at it.

Her mouth opened in shock, she dropped the slip of paper. She had found Twilight's Frequent Flier's card for the local strip club. A card that every colt in Ponyville possessed. Get five hole punches, get a free lapdance. The card already had 3 out of five hole punches in it. She couldn't understand it. Why would Twilight have such a thing?

Applejack tried to find a place to hide this. She had no pockets, so she put it under her hat. The thought of keeping a secret from her friends sickened her, but she had no choice. If she told her friends, then nopony would ever look at Twilight the same way. But she had to tell somepony. Somepony quiet...

At Fluttershy's cottage, Applejack fidgeted on the sofa. Maybe this ain't such a good idea. she thought. Fluttershy returned from the kitchen with a hot cup of chai tea. She sat next to Applejack. "Now Applejack," she said "What did you want to tell me?" Applejack removed her hat and showed her the punch card. "Ah foundt this in one oh Twilight's vests. Ah couldn't keep it a secret, an I figgered ya'll was the best pony I could tell."

Fluttershy shook her head disapprovingly. "Applejack. You should know better than to dig in other people's possessions. Besides, it isn't that strange, I have one too." Fluttershy pulled out her punch card and showed it to Applejack. She continued speaking "Why, I believe everypony in town has one. Don't you?"
"Yah-" Applejack's voice shook "yah mean even the mares?"
"Well I did say everypony."
"No. That can't be right. And no, ah don't have one."
"That's odd."
"No, what's odd is EVERYPONY including the mares owning a card to a all mare strip club. Meanin' thar's only mare strippers."
"What's wrong with that?"
"It just ain't natural."
"Applejack. Did you even stop to think that maybe, just maybe, you are the strange one?"
"Well no. Ah s'pose ya'll are right. Could Ah maybe go with ya'll just once? Ta see what it's like?"
"Of course Applejack."

Later that night, Applejack was scarred for life. She was literally the only pony in town who didn't attend this club. Now she was the only blind pony in town.

What's wrong with Applejack?

The End.
