Scootaloo was walking on the ceiling. Her hair was hanging upwards too. She still didn't feel up to messing about outside with it again, but she liked flying about our barn. Sometimes other stuff happened though. She had started doing the ceiling walking thing on purpose though. She then flew downwards, and started hovering in front of me a bit. It looked really weird, especially with her mane and tail hanging up like that.
"Uh, so whatta ya mean ferget him?"
"Duh, I mean we don't need him. It's super simple. Just flap your wings and think what you want, that's it."
"Mah wings?"
"Er, stomp your hooves maybe. I forget the earth pony thing. I think Twilight said something about each pony type casting differently and stuff right?"
I nodded. "Yea, it's hooves. Ah still don't know if we should be spending any time like this. Luna said…"
"She said to do our best to stay apart. It's not my fault your barn is the biggest indoor area in Ponyville."
"But you can teleport all the way to the moon. Why does it need to be in Ponyville?"
"Oh, yea, never thought of that. Dang, now I can't use that as an excuse though. Or at least not more than once and I might want to save it."
"Save it fer what?"
"If I really do need to talk to you. Anyway, I don't want Luna mad at me so I should really go. Make sure you tell Sweetie Belle too."
Then she vanished. I thought about what she said. It sure sounded easy enough. I also sure didn't want to finish sorting these apples. I then decided to give it a try. Maybe I could teleport all the bad apples right into the bad bin. I focused, then reared up and stomped both my front hooves down. Nothing happened.
"Maybe ah should try again."
The apples didn't do anything. I tried again, and again, and nothing happened. I then just got all frustrated and stomped a hoof.
"Why won't you dang fool bad apples just git over there in that bin."
There was a flash, but nothing else seemed to happen. Then the apples with a bunch of arms and legs started walking over to the bin, climbing up, and screaming as they fell in. I then saw they had little faces too. I blinked. Now I felt sorta bad for the apples, it's not like they did anything wrong.
"What in tarnation?"
I spun around. "Oh, uh, hi big sister. I'm just doing what you told me, and what Luna told me. So I tried to use Discord's magic to sort the apples."
"And now they're walking around, and giving me dirty looks."
I spun around to see that one of them was indeed giving AJ a dirty look. I glared at it but it ignored me. I guess they are the bad apples, aren't they. I didn't feel half as guilty now.
"Ah feel much better now. Besides, they ain't really alive." One then blew a raspberry at me. "Ah think."
"Are you sure you can make em go back to normal?"
"Ah think once they're done it will just wear off."
"Yah think? What if it don't. What then? What we gonna do with a bunch of unruly animate apples."
"Uh, grind them up anyway?"
"Ah ain't feeding the hogs with something like that. Who knows what that could do to them. They's hard workers and deserve better than that."
I looked down. "I'm sorry. I really am supposed to use it."
"Ah know, just think a little more about what you're using it on, and whether it's something you aughta be messing with."
"Okay, I'll do better, I promise."
"Good then. Now come on, lets go. There is plenty of work outside that needs doing and it ain't gonna git done with the two of us in here."
"Er okay, but what about…"
"We'll deal with them later. Don't rightly know what to do right now."
I nodded, then began following my sister out of the barn. I turned back to see them still coming out of the baskets and jump into the bin. I smiled. It wasn't bad for a first try. I mean at least all the good apples are separated now. Also I could be right and all the bad apples gathering in the bin will go back to normal once they're done.
