	Applebloom was sitting on a hill above Sweet Apple Acres, watching the moon. She had tears in her eyes. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't help Applejack and Big Macintosh in apple bucking. She was too small . Any time she tried to buck an apple tree not a single leaf would move. She felt so weak and helpless around her family.

"Everypony in my family is special. Applejack is the strongest mare in all Ponyville. Big Mac can buck the tree even by touching it. I can't. I'm just a little filly and I can't help in anything!" she thought aloud, tears rolling down her cheek.

"What should I do?"

"I ask myself this question every day" She heard a manly voice coming from nearly bushes.

"Who is there? Are you spying me?" She asked a little worried and angry.

"No, It just happened that I was here when you came"

"Uh... Ok. Why don't you come out now?" Applebloom asked curiously. Why is he hiding when she know he is there.

"I... I'm... Well, listen, I don't look normal and I don't want to scare you" The voice was nervous now. She could sense that this creature is very shy.

"Aww c'mon. It can't be that bad" She said with a smile.

After the event with Zecora she learned that she shouldn't judge the book by its cover. At first she was scared of her, but later everypony saw that she is very nice zebra. This pony could be in the same situation.

She heard that shy manly voice again "I'm not sure about this..."

"If you don't come out I will come for you" Applebloom said in a playful tone. She started walking towards the bushes where the mysterious pony was hiding.

"WAIT!" The creature suddenly shouted.

She stepped back with wide eyes. This time the voice sounded different. It was like growling.

"Um... Sorry for yelling at you but... you really shouldn't see me" Now it was shy again.

She sat and smiled. "Don't worry I won't run away, I promise! I'm sure it's not that bad"

The pony in the bushes stayed silent. Applebloom continued:

"I don't care how you look like. The most important thing is personality. And I think you are very nice" She said looking on the bushes.

"You do? Well... Okay. But please don't scream" Said the voice.

Applebloom could hear that he's very nervous about that. After a few seconds she saw a movement in the direction she was looking. Slowly from the bushes some creature started walking towards her. A creature she thought she'll never see in her live. Her eyes was widened.

"Wow..."
