Crossover // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// It's a peaceful day around Sweet Apple Acres. The Apple Family are planning to have a peaceful day that includes a barbecue. Big Mac's girlfriend, Sugar Belle, was invited to join the festivities. Sitting alone under a tree, Apple Bloom quietly cries as tears drip down her face. Applejack walks over to check on her sister. "You okay, Apple Bloom?" Applejack asked. Apple Bloom looks at her sister, and a dark flashback enters her mind. Flashback Braeburn looks at Apple Bloom with angry bloodshot eyes. "APPLEJACK WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU! NEVER!!!" End of Flashback "I wish everybody can forgive me!" Apple Bloom sobbed. Apple Bloom started to cry hysterically. Grabbing a nearby rope, Applejack started to wrap it around her sister. "What did I do wrong now?" Apple Bloom asked nervously. "Easy, Apple Bloom." Applejack quietly said. "I forgave for that whole Anon-A-Miss incident, remember? I think Braeburn was just blowing a lot of hot air. Anyway, everybody forgave you. Y'all just need to forgive yourself." Apple Bloom realized that her big sister is right. At that moment, Granny Smith called out to her. "Applejack, can you come over for a moment?" "Coming, Granny." Applejack replied as she turned to her sister. "I'll be back to check on you. Once you've simmered down, I'll unravel you." Applejack went to see what Granny Smith wants while Apple Bloom tries to calm down. Applejack went to the barbecue area when she saw that the family had a visitor. It was a blond haired man wearing a traditional Police uniform. "So, you're Applejack." The policeman said. "It's nice to meet you." Granny Smith introduced her to this visitor. "This here is Sgt. Patrick O' Malley. One of Empire City’s finest. Codename: Longarm. Specialty: Patrol Officer and COPS Second in Command." "Well, what brings you here, Sgt. Longarm?" Applejack asked. "Me and my family heard about Sweet Apple Acres as we were coming to Canterlot City." Longarm answered. "I figured we would spend time with you people." "You want to be with us for a while?" Granny Smith asked. "You're darn tootin. I always wanted to meet to well renowned Apple Family." This was a big surprise. Later, Granny Smith were reading the grill while Applejack and Apple Bloom, who was untied after calming down for a bit, were talking to Longarm and his family. "I was told you're a pretty strong young lady." Said Longarm's wife, Linda. "You must be very helpful around here." "Thank ya kindly, ma`am." Applejack replied. "My sister, Apple Bloom, helps out a bit too." Longarm's son, Brian, talks to Apple Bloom. "I can't believe you and your two friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, took care of Small Guy and his gang." Brian said. "Those varmints tried to rob Camp Everfree." Apple Bloom explained. "But, we stood firm and stop that trio. With a little help from officer APES of course." Longarm became a little annoyed. "Small Guy. I wish I can forget that mini gangster." Suddenly, Sugar Belle ran to the group in a panic. Big Mac rushed over. "Sugar Belle!" Big Macintosh said with concern. "What's the matter?" "I was just admiring the barn," Sugar Belle said when she suddenly panicked "when some dangerous woman came along and lifted this old cart and threw it across the field. I was so scared, I ran." "What did she look like?" "She had blond hair, wore a red dress, and black boots." Applejack heard the conversation, and came up with an answer. "I think Sugar Belle ran into..." She then got angry. "Ms. Demeanor! Big Boss's strongwoman!" Everyone gasped at the mention of that name. "That's not good." Granny Smith said. "That lady has a temper as big as her strength. " "I'm going to stop her." Applejack said. Longarm attempted to stop her. "Wait, Applejack. I wouldn't challenge that muscle bound maiden." "He's right, my dear." Longarm's father, Mickey O` Malley, added. "Ms. Demeanor could be dangerous." "I took care of Buttons McBoomboom." Applejack informed. "He wasn't a pushover either." Applejack went off to find her opponent. Apple Bloom was right behind her. The sisters made it to the barn. They heard a lot of wood breaking. Soon, they saw the vicious woman stomp on an old chicken coop. This got Apple Bloom upset. "Dang it!" Apple Bloom said. "I was going to use it for a clubhouse." Applejack soon confronted the intruder. "Stop right there, Ms. Demeanor!" The vicious strongwoman spotted the farm girl. "So, you're Applejack. The pride of the Apple Family." "We of the Apple Family don't take kindly to trespassers. Especially from the Big Boss's gang." "Oh yeah? Let's see how strong YOU are." The ladies soon grappled with each other testing each other's strength. Apple Bloom watches with interest. They soon broke off from grappling each other. "Not bad." Ms. Demeanor said. "Must be from all of that farm work." "Hard work builds character." Applejack informed. Suddenly, Ms. Demeanor grabbed a piece of the broken coop wall, and flings it to crush her opponent. It went over Applejack. But, it heads towards the youngest Apple. Just then, a metal clamp grabbed Apple Bloom's wrist, and pulled her away just as the wood hit the ground. Applejack saw that her sister was saved by Longarm. "Thanks, Sgt. Longarm." Apple Bloom said. "You're welcome, my young friend." Longarm replied. "I'm happy you always have those power cuffs with ya." Applejack was relieved. She then rushed to confront her opponent, and picked her up over her shoulder. "HEY!" Ms. Demeanor shouted. "Put me down!" Applejack carries Ms. Demeanor to a bail of hay. "If you insist." She then drops Ms. Demeanor onto the hay. Longarm comes along to congratulate Applejack. "Good work Applejack. That's what I call dedication to protect your family." The farm girl blushed as Ms. Demeanor pulls herself up. She shakes of the extra hay. "Let's meet again, Hayseed!" Ms. Demeanor said. "I want a rematch." As the evil strongwoman leaves the area, the heroic trio are relieved that she's gone. "Let's head back to the barbecue." Longarm suggested. "You girls must've worked up an appetite." The Apple Sisters nodded, and went with Longarm back to their families.
