Applebucking Begins.....

Chapter 4: Applebucking Begins.....



Alright then...I gotta get SYKED!!! This is going to be intense, I mean it is my first time at this, but I have to try,like my father said, you never know you're going to suck or rock unless you try it at least. So I have to never give up or give in...unless that thing is WAY to impposible then yeah it is okay to quit, ONLY that reason, so alright then, LETS GET STARTED!


"So, AppleJack......how do we do this AppleBucking.....Huh?"


"Well, I thaught you would know how, OH WAIT....I forgot, you city folk, you don't know,huh.....


"WELL, I wouldn't consider me a city folk, but hey, whatever floats your boat or whatever."

"Well here are the RULES of this here contest, we will both go on and go to the trees on each of our sides, from their we'll go tree ta tree and buck the apples out of them(With that she bucks a nearby tree as an example, showoff.......), once where done with one tree, we go on to the next tree and do the same until we reach Big Mac (The red stallion I guess) and then we run back over here,get it?"


"Yeah,yeah, lets get going." hah, she thinks she can beat me in a race?Well I'm a FUCKING pegasus, I'll just fly myself overthere and then-


"Oh and by the way......ya can't use yar wings during the race neither."As she said that I saw that she was smiling a bit at the end of her mouth, guess she knew I was thinking that, well no matter, I'm still just as fast on my own 4 hoofs.
"So, do we got an understanding of tha rules then?"


"Yeah....Alright......."

"Well lets hop to it then partner!"Unless ya'll finally apolagize....."

"LIKE HELL I WILL!! You know what, lets make this contest a wadger.....

"I'm listening.........."

"Well, since your SO sure of victory, how bout you give me and my little brother something if we win.....maybe, Oh I don't know.......maybe a place to stay since we barely got here and so me and him don't have to go look for a new home?"

"Hum.........well what if I win then?"

"If you win, then I guess I'll apologize then....."

''Hmmmmmmmmm.........let me consult with my family about this fiarst then." With that she went over to Big Mac and the old mare with thelittle filly, I couldn't make out what they were talking about but I did here this, "Not Welcome.......Come ON!.........I don't like this one bit.........Eeyup.........Fine......." and that's when she came back and said, "Alright, I accept yar offer, BUT.......there may only be one of you can live here since we only got one room to spare."

"Well, that sounds reasonable."( UH..no it didn't, were is Cyan going to live? NO.......I must think of him first, myself second,I'll give him the room when I win and I'll find my own home up in the clouds somewhere, or maybe close by the farm)


"Well come on....we got tah start now don't we?"

"Alright....."

"Eeyup......now on your marks(OMG its happening)get set (lets do this.....for Cyan)GO!!!


And were off! Man gotta admit, this AppleBucking is harder than I thought I thought that- WHAT! are you kidding me?!?!
Applejack is in the lead with like 10 more trees than me already, FUCK! If there were only a way to......Oh my god.......OF COURSE!!! Why didn;t i think of it before?!?!? I'll use my Lightning powers.....DUH!?!?
LIGHTNING FTW!! Alright what can I use,Lightning Bolt,Lightning Shock,Blast ,Erruption,
ThunderStorm........THUNDERSHOCK! With this, I'm able to create a sortof shockwave that will, don't know how to say this....so basicly it will shake something with intense force if I hit it with my front or back hoofs, so know I just need to apply my lightning energy into my hind legs......THERE. Heh,heh,heh, Applejackass is going to be bound in for a suprise....


(AppleJacks POV)

Gosh darnit, what is taking Lighty so long,heh...Lighty, but seriously,with all that bragging I would have thought he would at least be head-ta-head with me but I'm ahead of him by like 20 trees by now, looks like victory is sweet as mine-
Oh my lord.......look at him, he's bucking apples like Big Mac would plus with my speed! I don't know what's gone into him but I don't want to find out.....

(My POV Again


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, look at AppleJacks face when I started thundershock, shes all like, Wut?and I'm all like, Yeah, believe it. Its so funny, she has the same expression some mailmare I saw had....heh,heh, I'm closing in, 10 trees,.....7 trees...3 trees....1 tree...and I've caught up! Yeah! I knew I could do it, know if I could only surpass her then victory is certain....


"YEEHAW!" OH FUCK! She's done, and I still need 1 more tree, okay I'm done now, gotta beat her to the finish line...

As we both galloped(I caught in 10 seconds flat)......


(RD POV)

"Where is that Dark or his stupi-Wow.......I felt like someone used something of mine, but I can't pin point out exactly what....Meh, must have been nothig....Now to keep searching!"

(MY POV)

SHIT! Were neck and neck right now, who would have thought a a farmer would have SO much energy and Strenght and Speed.....other ponies I faced were weak, guess its because they were always other pegasi or unicorns.But DAMN, she has some spunk for not giving up, I like that in a girl-I MEAN that she is some tough competion,yeah(heh,heh,heh).
I need to pull off some kind of miracle or something....okay were coming into view of the finish line, this is it, damn she gallops fast, but I can be faster, so with that I used the last of my strenght to give me an extra boost and
"Oh SHIT....I'm going to win....hah, better luck next time Cow-

'THAT DOES IT...AHHHH!!!"

"HOLY SHIT....."Umph.....that's pretty much what I heard, when AppleJack tackeld me and we rolled into a ball to the finish line.


"YEEHA! I WON, looks like you owe me an-


"Like HELL you won, you tackled me to the ground!

"Well there's nathing in the rules that said I couldn't, now did they?"

"Well no......but we still don't know that YOU won, I could have won since when I got tackeld it started a HUGE dustcloud to block the view and-

"Eeyup, I don't mean to but in, but I think this here is.......a tie.

(Both of us) "A TIE!?!?!

"Eeyup."

"Ah Shoot, well since this heres a tie...I guess I don't need to hold a grudge against you.......Darky.(With that at the end she smirked)

"Well I guess you're right.....Jackie, we shouldn't fight about this, so since this a tie, I have to say..........I'm Sorry for calling you a Cowgirl and all that, I didn't know that it meabt a lot if you weren't called that and I apologize for my demenor and all that other apologetic stuff. I hope that you could find it in your heart to forgive me and-


Whats weird is that while saying that whole fake/or maybe real apology AppleJack stopped me and hugged me and said,
"Oh gash darnit, stop with all that stuff already, I forive you and what not, I guess what I'm saying is that you and I could now become friends and I could introduce ya ta all my friends!"

"Well alright, I guess I'll see ya later then."

"Were ya heading off to?"

"Well I told you I needed a place to stay, and know I'm going to find one.....

"Well I suppose since ya did apologize I could let you.......rent the room I told you about."

"Really?"

"Really, or my name ain't AppleJack!"

"Well alright, but I'm not going to be stayying in that room, my little brother will, I need to look out for him first, I'll find my own place to stay, but for now, the older brother in me is telling me to find a place for him then me."

"Wow, he must be lucky to have a brother like you......alright then, when hes ready to move in, call me so I can show him around his new home."

"Alright, I'll do that, thanks Jackie, you're a real great......friend."

"Well much ablig......Darky."


"You won't just stop with that will you?"

"No."

"Well I'll see ya later then, I'll come back and introduce you to Cyan then, so seeya for now."

''See Ya partner....


And with that I'm off to look for Cyan, I wonder what the hell he was doing while I was busy with this....


SO HERE IT IS YOU GUYS......THE NEW CHAPTER AND WHAT NOT.....CYAN'S POV IN THE NEXT CHAPTER, I WONDER WTF HE WAS DOING?!?!?!
