The sun shines in Canterlot City. But, the weather is warm. Even at Sweet Apple Acres, the heat is felt. Inside her room, wearing a red T shirt and blue denim shorts, Applejack lays on her bed, using a small fan to cool off.
“Hoo-wee!” Applejack blurted. “This weather is as hot as pot of chili fresh off the stove.”
Granny Smith came in with some news. “At least the weather is a bit cooler by the lake in the woods. And, with some of them trees blocking the sun, y’all get some relief.”
This gives Applejack some good news. “That’s a good idea. I’m sure some of my friends are over there too.”
“Then, why don’t ya join them. Our chores are done here anyway. Big Mac and I will hold down the fort.”
Later, carrying a bag with her, Applejack went to the lake to cool off. Wearing her swimsuit, she felt a little better already. She sees a little activity going on.
“Just like Granny Smith said.” Applejack thought out loud. “Some of my friends are here to cool off.”
After setting up her own area and slipping off her sandals, she headed for the lake. Rainbow Dash saw her coming.
“Hey, Applejack.” Rainbow Dash called out.
“Howdy, Rainbow.” Applejack replied as she high fived her spectrum haired friend. “Came to get relief?”
“I sure did.” Rainbow said. “And, it looks like we have company.”
Rainbow pointed to a girl with grey skin and flowing blue hair. She has big floppy ears, edges on her nose that resembles an elephant’s trunk, and a golden head piece on her head, like a tiara.
“I think I know who that is.” Applejack said as she calls out to her. “Hey! Ekaterina Elephant!”
The girl hears her name and sees Applejack coming.
“I thought you looked familiar.” Applejack giggled.
“Hello, Applejack.” Ekaterina greeted. “I was hoping to meet you.”
“Came to cool off as well as we are, I’ll bet.”
“Yes. I heard of this lake, and thought to spend time here. Some of your friends are impressed with my appearance.”
Applejack smiled, knowing she’s right. Suddenly, she was sprayed with water. That’s when Applejack saw a small elephant came to her.
“Howdy, Antic.” Applejack greeted. “Y’all are having fun too, huh?”
Antic trumpeted happily. Suddenly, Apple Bloom called out from a dock.
“Howdy, sis!” Apple Bloom shouted. “Watch this cannonball!”
Apple Bloom ran on the dock, jumped off, scrunched into a ball, and splashed into the water. The other visitors cheered for her.
“That’s my sister.” Applejack said happily. “She love making them cannonballs.”
“You should see Antic splashing in the water.” Ekaterina explained. “Now, that’s an impact.”
Antic ran to the dock, everyone saw her coming.
“Get clear!” Pinkie Pie called. “Here comes a big splash!”
Antic jumped off the dock, and made a big splash. The water flew off to a few people on shore. Applejack and Ekaterina went over to see if everybody is okay.
“Is everybody all right?” Ekaterina asked.
Diamond Tiara walked up to Ekaterina. Her hair was dripping wet. “My hair is drenched! And, my outfit is soaked.” She then smiled. “But, it’s worth it. I’m glad I wore a rash guard over my swimsuit.”
Antic came back to Ekaterina as Silver Spoon, who was also drenched, petted Antic. “Thanks, Antic. We needed that.”
At another chair, Twilight was reading a book when she got splashed. She was a bit annoyed. “Speak for yourself!”
Applejack and Ekaterina looked at Twilight, looked at each other, then giggled. It’s been one eventful day at this lake.
