22. Help on the farm with Redward Rooster

The Apple Family are very busy getting the farm ready for a barbecue. Applejack and her friends hope to have fun during this event. The hard working farm girl straightened out some boxes in the barn when Granny Smith cane in.
“Good work, AJ.” Granny praised.
“Thanks, Granny.” Applejack replied. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work. But, it’ll be worth it.”
The barbecue grill was getting cleaned by Big Macintosh and Braeburn.
“Thanks for letting me help with the grill.” Braeburn said proudly.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac said.
Suddenly, there was a crash from the barn. Apple Bloom came out in a panic. “That came from the barn!”
Inside, there was a lot of boxes on the floor scattered around. Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, and Braeburn came to check on the situation.
“What happened?” Braeburn asked with concern.
“Applejack slipped on a rag, and these boxes fell down.” Granny Smith explained. “No damage done. These are them plastic totes we use for storage. And, they’re empty.”
“But, I left quite a mess.” Applejack sobbed. “It’s going to take a while to clean up.” She puts her hands over her eyes and started to cry. “It’s all my fault!”
Applejack ran off crying. Apple Bloom tried to call out to her. “Sis! Come back!”
Big Mac reached for his phone and put out a call. Later, Applejack stood near the trees as tears went down her face. Suddenly, a lasso zipped out of nowhere and looped around her.
“What the..?” AJ gasped.
“Hold on there, little lady.” Said the voice of a southern gentleman.
Out steps a young man with light tan skin with red hair sticking out on top, and he has a yellow nose, like a bird’s beak.
“I don’t believe it.” Applejack gasped. “Redward Rooster!”
“At your service, ma’am.” Redward greeted.
Redward used his rope to wrap around Applejack.
“What are you doing here?” AJ wondered.
“Big Mac called me.” Redward explained. “He said that you had some sort of accident.”
“Oh yeah. You probably heard.”
“I don’t think that it’s worth panicking about. Them plastic totes were empty after all. And, no damage was done.”
This calmed Applejack down a bit. “I guess I did get carried away a bit.”
Soon, Redward scooped up Applejack in his arms. “Let’s get you back to Granny.”
A chicken came out, and caught up to them.
“Hey, Cluck.” Applejack said to the chicken. “Nice to see ya’.”
At the barn, the mess was cleaned up, and all is set for the barbecue.
“That wasn’t so bad after all.” Granny announced.
“Yeah.” Braeburn added. “And, all is ready for the barbecue.”
Soon, Redward comes to the area with a bound Applejack in his arms.
“Sis!” Apple Bloom called out. “You’re okay!”
“I am.” Applejack calmly said. “Thanks to Redward here.”
Redward places Applejack down on a box. As Granny starts untying her, Big Mac walks up to the visitor. “Thanks for finding my sister, Redward.”
“Any time, Big Mac.” Redward replied.
Apple Bloom started cuddling Cluck. “You’re the cutest looking chicken I’ve ever seen, Cluck.”
Granny Smith finished untying Applejack. The farm girl stood up feeling relief.
“I’m sure glad Big Mac called Redward Rooster and Cluck to help out.” Granny Smith said.
Applejack looked at the young fellow, grateful for his help. “Me too, Granny.”
