//------------------------------// // 48. Farm fun with Cambrie Cow // Story: EqG Tales: Enchantimals Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// The sun is shining at Sweet Apple Acres as Applejack comes in from doing her chores. “Penelope is well fed and groomed, Granny.” Applejack informed. “Good work, AJ.” Granny Smith said. “Anymore chores to do today?” “Nope. Everything’s all done nicely. How’s about taking a rest?” Applejack nodded and went into her room. She has a talk with Rarity on the phone regarding this interesting summer. “I still can’t believe that we met so many citizens of Everwilde.” Applejack said. “Me neither.” Rarity replied. “Some of them were quite helpful though.” “And, some are grateful to us. Like when Sunset Shimmer took a ride with Preena Penguin delivering ice cream.” “Indeed, darling. And, some of them helped us well. Like when Karina Koala calmed down Fluttershy after picnic plans got drenched.” “Applejack!” Granny Smith called out. The farm girl cut her phone call short. “Listen, Rares. Granny needs me. I’ll talk to you later.” Applejack went downstairs to see what’s wrong. “Have y’all seen Apple Bloom?” Granny asked. “Probably off on one of her barefoot expeditions.” Applejack figured. “Can you check on her please?” “Sure thing.” Applejack went to a pasture near the farm. And, there was Apple Bloom, dressed in a red short sleeve shirt and white overall shorts, playing with a pair of baby cows, one black and one white. “Hi, sis.” Apple Bloom said happily. “These baby cows came along, and I’m keeping them company.” Applejack looked at them with a smile on her face. “Them cows are cute. But, where did they come from?” “They came from me.” Said a female voice. The Apple Sisters saw a white skinned girl with black splotches on her body and flowing black hair. She wore a pink shirt and an a denim skirt. The most noticeable things on her were two curved horns on her head and a long white tail, similar to the tails of the cows. “Well, what do you know.” Applejack said happily. “Cambrie Cow!” “Hello, Miss Applejack.” Cambrie greeted as she and Applejack hugged each other. “What are y’all doing at Sweet Apple Acres?” “Me and my besties saw this area and figured we fit right in. Cows do like to roam pastures like this, you know.” Apple Bloom soon looked at the little cows with a shock on her face. “Ya mean these are Mac and Cheese?” Cambrie replied to Apple Bloom’s statement. “To quote your brother, Eeyup.” “They are so adorable.” Apple Bloom squealed as she and the cows went to Cambrie. “Speaking of besties,” Applejack realized, “where’s your big bestie: Ricotta?” Suddenly, a big cow started rubbing against the farm girl. “There she is, Applejack.” Apple Bloom answered. Feeling loved, Applejack started petting Ricotta. Later, Apple Bloom slipped on her nightshirt while getting ready for bedtime. Cambrie Cow and those friends of hers sure fit in with our farm alright. Apple Bloom climbs into her bed, turns out the light, and goes to sleep.
