What's a short form for AppleJack that annoys the heck out of AppleJack or at least confuse her?
Apple woman? not creative.
Fruit butt? too insulting.
discount cowgi cowmare? Too long.
Fatty? That belongs to Celestia.
I'll just call her dummy. Yesterday dummy got me pizza because I seem like that kind of guy(the guy who eats nothing but pizza).
I would have appreciated it anyway if it weren't for the FACT THAT SHE PUT APPLES ON THE PIZZA. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE ONLY FRUITS ALLOWED ON PIZZA ARE TOMATO AND PINEAPPLE. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
It feels good to get that off my chest. I ate the pizza after removing the apples instead of wasting food. Now I'll stop ranting and continue. Today is the applebuck season. I know this because I see a cow stampede. The advantages of working at the workshop at the edge of town.
I see Applejack and Winona far behind them.
...
...
I don't think they'll reach in time. Boss comes outside to pull me in.
"Boss, do you think that they'll reach in time?", I ask as I keep looking at the rapidly approaching herd and dummy who is not able to catch up.
"I don't think so. Now get inside or you'll be hurt!", he says as he tries to pull me into the workshop. He does not realize how strong I am from carrying all the groceries in one trip, cycling everyday and picking up 4-5 kg sacks of flour to prove that I can pick them up. I am grateful that my human strength carried over to my pony form.
"Nah. I'll try to stop them.", I say as I start walking towards the herd. I stop at the very edge of town with the workshop being only 20 meters behind me. Boss gave up on trying to get me in the workshop and is watching me. The herd is about 500 meters away. I charge up a shadowmancy spell and imagine. Everyone else who was watching, suddenly saw a wall of pure shadows emerge from the ground. The cows stopped so that they didn't run into what seemed to be a void. I stop powering the spell and the wall disappears into thin air.
AppleJack slowed down and eventually stopped in front of me with Winona following her. She looks a bit angry.
"What did ya just do?", she asks.
"Stop a stampede.", I reply as Winona starts sniffing my front right hoof.
"Ah know that. What was th' magic wall spell you just did?", she asks with a frown.
"Shadowmancy.", I reply knowing full well that it is probably illegal. The pop of teleportation catches our attention. It's Twilight.
"Hi.", I say nonchalantly.
"Don't hi me. I felt dark magic being used here. You better explain me why or I'll get Princess Celestia involved!", she says angrily. I think everyone gets an angry effect when around me.
"I stabbed a bunch of orphans.". I say before AppleJack could say anything. Twilight was horrified. "What are they gonna do? Tell their parents?", I continue with a smile. Twilight was more horrified now because she didn't get the joke while AppleJack just frowned.
"DID SOMEPONY MAKE A DARK JOKE?!", Pinkie shouts and scares us all.
"When did you get here?!", I ask loudly.
"I got here when somepony said a dark joke. I always wanted to know more about dark jokes so that I can make more ponies laugh. If ther-", Pinkie gets cut off as AppleJack puts her hoof over her mouth.
"He used shadowmancy to make a wall to stop th' cows.", AppleJack tells Twilight.
"But there are no magic books in Equestria that teach about shadowmancy! Princess Celestia had them all destroyed!", Twilight shouts in disbelief.
"You know that there are countries other than Equestria. If not, now you know.", I reply with a slight frown.
"Where are you from?", Pinkie asks suddenly.
"A mystical land known for curry. Guess where.", I say.
"OOH! OOH! I know this! You're from India!", Pinkie says happily.
"Correct!", I say as I smile when Pinkie hops happily.
"We should have a party for you! *GASP* I forgot about your welcome party!"
"No need of party. Friends is enough. I have to get back to work now.", I say as I walk back to the workshop. It is true that I don't like parties much. I'll rather be friends.
3//7/1500, Saturday 3:26 P.M.
I'm home and I've been working on the music box for the last 20 minutes. I decided that it will play Minecraft by C418. Mostly because the tune is easy to remember and make. Hopefully no one asks where I got the tune. I play it and it works as intended. Success!
(Song)
*knock knock knock*
I am interrupted by-
*knock knock knock*
I exit the living room and go to the front door. I open it and see a unicorn mare with tan coat and red mane, wearing gold armor, no helmet and a scabbard. She is also wearing an obviously religious sun necklace thingy and an angry expression.
'Is she a Jehovah's witness?', I thought.
'No. She's a solar knight.', Arnold answered.
"Uhhh... Can I help you?", I ask her while trying my best to hide the fear of getting killed.
"You will surrender the elements of disharmony or face the wrath of the church of the holy sun!", she demands.
"Princess Celestia agreed to not take them. I'm not giving them.", I reply with a frown. She scowled and I suddenly see a sword floating inches from my face.
"You will surrender the elements or I'll take them from your dead body.", she demands.
"No-", I get cut off as she cuts me on my left foreleg above my hoof.
"That was the final warning. Surr-",she gets cut of as a loud smack is heard in the nearby area followed by the sound of something hitting the ground. I had knocked this mare out with a really hard punch to her face from my left leg. A stupid move because now I'm clutching my left leg from the pain. I use a healing spell to fix it up but a smaller cut is still there. I focus on the unconscious mare at my door. I didn't break her nose somehow but that doesn't matter. What matter is what I'm going to do with her.
*GASP*
I look up from the mare to see Spike. He looks understandably scared but then he notices the cut on my left foreleg and the blood on the sword.
"What happened here?", he asks as he approaches me.
"She's a knight of the church of the holy sun who wanted the elements of disharmony but got a punch when she used her sword.", I answer.
"Shouldn't you call the police?", he asked rhetorically.
"What if she becomes conscious and goes back to where ever she came from?", I shot back. "And even if I go to the police, they might become suspicious of me."
He tries saying something but stops and thinks. A groan caught our attention. The mare was waking up. I quickly pick up the sword in my magic. She gets up and glares at me.
"Leave or I'll call the police.", I say.
"The police have no power over me.", she says with a smirk.
"Spike, run to Twilight and tell her what happened here. I bet Princess Celestia would like to know about this.", I say while winking to him. It feels weird to wink. The mare is suddenly not smug. She takes the sword from me and fast-walks away.
"So, will you call the police?", Spike asks.
"No.", I reply with a smile because Karen is following her. Both of them disappear from view and moments later we hear the mare scream like a filly. I chuckled while Spike was just confused.
"I just remembered that Twilight asked me to get you."
"Why?"
"It's about Applejack. She's been working for days without sleeping.", Spike says seriously.
"She's like the opposite of me. I will take help even if I don't need it meanwhile she refuses help even if she needs it.", I think out loud. "Max!", I call out. A rustle and a crow has landed on my head.
Spike has lead me to Twilight who is observing Applejack who is failing to kick a tree.
"She need some help.", I say.
"Yes, she does but she won't accept it!", Twilight says with frustration.
"Anyway, I have a plan. Max will distract her while we remove the apples with magic.", I say as Max flies off of my head to annoy Applejack.
"But-"
"It is not illegal and she wouldn't notice us in that state. Now come, Max has already started.", I say as I teleport to the trees and start removing apples. Twilight was not happy but didn't protest.
5:10 P.M.
Twilight's friends had joined us in the plan and now we were finished with harvesting the apples. Many of you may not realize it but it is hard to listen to someone talking about something that happened yesterday. Pinkie was going on and on about the 'baked-bads' that Applejack had made. I had kept quiet and listened till she stopped talking. She eventually went away and let me work in silence.
Applejack had fallen asleep while Max was troubling her and Big Mac had taken her into the house. He had thanked me but was a bit displeased with my method. I had left the farm and went home.
Right now, I was lying on my bed. At moments like these when I have nothing to do, I miss the internet. I miss r/holup and cursedcomments.

"Why don't you open that book you got from the library?", Arnold says, startling me. I would have if I had remembered that I got it. I get off the bed and out of the room and head to the bookshelf. There are only three books The magic guide I got when I came here, a world history book and a book about science experiments that had failed.
I pick up the latter and open it to a random page. The page is interesting. It talks about the concept of engines powered by liquid fuel. The only types of engines that exist on this planet are steam and magic engines. Steam is very polluting and magic is inefficient.
I have an idea.
