"Do you accept our offer?" Flim questioned Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom.
"'Course we do!" Apple Bloom shouted.
"Yyyyyup," Big Macintosh added.
"Then let the competition begin!" Flam cheered. "I assume our prize will be your orchard again, correct?"
"Yyyyyup," Big Macintosh confirmed.
"We could beat y'all faster than Rainbow Dash on a set of roller blades!"
Flim flicked the "on" switch of the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 7000. It roared, and it sent out it's vaccum tubes to pick the apples.
"Let's go Mac!" Apple Bloom shouted. She galloped off into the orchard, with Big Macintosh following behind.
After a while of picking, Flim and Flam were ahead by five barrels of cider. The vaccum tubes of the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 7000 were sucking up apples from the back of the orchard.
"Haha!" Apple Bloom chuckled. "They're goin' to the back of the orchard, where all the crummy apples are!"
Before he could could comprehend what Apple Bloom had just said, Big Macintosh saw the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 7000 suck up a small plastic object. He immediatly knew what it was.
"Uhhhh, uh oh..." Big Macintosh said.
"What's wrong, brother?" asked Apple Bloom.
Big Macintosh felt that if he didn't tell his devious secret to Apple Bloom, they couldn't fix the problem, and the ponies would prefer the addicting cider of the Flim Flam Brothers over theirs.
Big Macintosh leaned towards his sister's ear and whispers something to her.
"Great Golden Delicious!" Apple Bloom exclaimed. "This can't be true! I though you were better than that, Mac!"
"Nnnnnope," Big Macintosh sighed, hanging his head.
"We gotta talk about this later, though. Look!" Apple Bloom pointed her hoof towards the hourglass that was being held up by the ponies surrounding the orchard. The sand had almost all gone, and they had about five minutes left.
