//------------------------------// // S3E11: Turf War (Mystic Version) // Story: Mystic Equestria Girls // by Shadow Master //------------------------------// Another day for everyone to enjoy at the beach such as children making sand castle and some were splashing on the ocean's water. Timber Spruce, a local camp consultant from Camp Everfree, is now working as the lifeguard at the beach. He hummed happily while lying down on his beach chair. To his surprise, he found Applejack, who worn green T-Shirt with Lifeguard Icon and red shots, arrived at the scene. She then stretched out and warmed up calmly and firmly. "Ahoy, Applejack! Whatcha doin'?" Timber asked casually. Applejack smiled while stretching out, "I'm the substitute lifeguard today, and I'm ready to dive in headfirst. What's the plan?" Timber shrugged as he got out from his beach chair. He then walked down the ramp while said calmly, "Well, there's not much to do so far, so just take a load off." Applejack smirked, "That's not my way. Gotta be prepared." "Oh. Heh. Me, too. It's just that my time at Camp Everfree taught me to trust in myself and be confident—!" Timber was interrupted by baby's cries. He gasped, "Someone in need! Timber to the rescue!" Just as Timber arrived at the shore, he was surprised as he found Applejack was holding and carrying the baby on her arms while returning to the shore. She approached to the mother, who was scared and worried for her child's safety. "My baby!" The mother exclaimed in relief as she received her baby from Applejack. She asked warmly, "Oh, how can I ever repay you?" "Just doin' ma job, ma'am." Applejack commented while tipping her hat. She approached to Timber. She commented while giving fist bump against Timber's shoulder, "Uh, I got here first, so I just took care o' savin' that kid for ya. You're welcome!" Timber grunted, "Ow! Heh. You didn't have to." Suddenly, Timber and Applejack heard someone's scream. They turned back to the ocean, where they found Lyra's losing her balance to stand on her surfing board. She just returned from surfing and unable to control her movement. "Oh! I'll handle this!" Timber exclaimed as he ran straight to Lyra. She almost fell off the surfing board if not for him to grab and held both of her hands. He smiled at Applejack, "See? This is the kind of lifesaving instinct I developed at Everfree." Applejack rolled her eyes in annoyance. She then heard someone yelped in shock and concern. She turned back to the beach, where she found another woman's ice-cream was about to fall on the sand. She used and threw her hat to the ground before the pinkish ice-cream fall. Applejack approached towards the woman. She picked her hat up before flip upside down for putting back the pink ice-cream on the woman's ice-cream. Applejack smirked as she turned and glanced at Timber, "See, this is what hard work can do." Impressed and amazed by Applejack's determination, Timber gave his cocky and confident smile at her. She smiled cockily at him. Just as they regrouped at the middle of beach, they gave each other a rivalry glare as if they're on competition. "ACE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Saber cried in distress. Timber and Applejack turned and approached to Saber, who was shouting while looking around of his surroundings. He looked distressed and scared. "Saber, what's wrong?" Applejack asked. "It's Ace! I can't find him!" Saber exclaimed in concern. Timber smirked as he patted Saber's back, "Don't worry, Saber. I'll find him." Applejack scoffed, "No! I will find him! I know how to find out!" "He's a naked mole rat! There's no way he could stay on daylight. He must be underneath the sand. I bet we can dig out the sand to find him." "A mutated naked mole rat, Timber! He can stay in day and night time! So, the only way to find him is give him the food he likes." "What do you mean the food he likes?! Naked mole rats don't get hungry!" "I know Ace more than you!" "As if! I know naked mole rats than you!" Saber groaned as he shouted, "Would you guys knock it off and help me find Ace?! I can't imagine how scared and lonely he gets if we don't find him!" Applejack and Timber hissed in shame, "Sorry!" Suddenly, three of them heard shouting and screaming for 'help'. They turned and looked at the ocean, where they spotted Bulk Bicep panicked and struggled to swim and balance himself. They even found Ace's on top of Bulk Bicep's hat. He screamed for help while waving the white flag for help. "ACE!" Saber shouted in concern. "Got it!" Applejack and Timber exclaimed in unison. Both Applejack and Timber dived into the ocean. They swam towards Bulk Biceps. Saber followed them from behind, making sure that they don't do anything stupid. Upon reaching Bulk Biceps, Applejack held on his left while Timber grabbed on his right. "I gotcha!" Applejack shouted. Timber grunted, "I've got you!" Both Applejack and Timber grunted as they were pulling Bulk Biceps' hands while swimming towards their own direction. This made him cried tearfully and sadly while Ace screamed in fear. "Why are you crying? We're savin' you!" Applejack shouted. Bulk Biceps cried, "It's just I hate to... see you fight!" Timber grunted in disagreement, "We're not fighting." "Really?" Bulk Biceps asked curiously. "From what I've seen, it does look like you're both fighting," Saber scolded upon arriving to the scene. He huffed angrily, "Look at what your rivalry did! You almost ripped Bulk Biceps apart, and Ace nearly gonna fall and drown if he hadn't hold on it tightly. You guys are lifeguards, so your job is to help and save the lives, not screwing around with your rivalry." Both Applejack and Timber looked ashamed of what Saber has said. He sighed, "You're right. We're kind of fighting. But we're also saving you." Applejack nodded, "Yeah. With my elbow grease and Timber's know-how, we actually make a pretty good team." "Seems that way," Saber commented, "Ready to work together?" Applejack and Timber smiled, "Deal." Just as three of them were swimming back while holding on Bulk Biceps' shoulder, he suddenly stood up while holding three of them on his arms. He then walked all the way back to the shore. They're all shocked and surprised by his sudden action. Ace jumped and landed on Saber's palm. Both of them cooed happily to be reunited. "Thanks, guys!" Bulk Biceps said happily. Suddenly, a woman yelped in concern, alerting everyone else. Timber smirked, "Race ya?" Applejack nodded, "Yeehaw!" Applejack and Timber headed off to rescue another civilian. Saber shouted, "Remember! No crazy rivalry during your mission!" "We know!" Timber and Applejack cheered. As soon as Timber and Applejack continued running; Saber, Bulk Biceps and Ace gave secret smirk to each other. "Ya think they'll be alright?" Bulk Biceps asked in confusion. Saber shrugged while patted Ace, "Who knows? By the way, Bulk, thanks for the help. That was pretty good act for a guy, who can't swim." Bulk Biceps smiled, "Happy to help. I'm happy that they're still good friends."
