“Oh, hi Snowcatcher,” Fluttershy greeted as I got up to leave.
“Oh, hello to the both of you,” Snowcatcher said until she noticed me leaving, “Rarity, why don’t you stay?” What is this?!
“Umm, I have to go,” I said nervously.
“Oh, that’s fine,” Snowcatcher replied, sitting on the couch next to Fluttershy. I winked at Fluttershy letting her know to keep an eye out for Snowcatcher. She winked back as I walked out the door.
*Snowcatcher’s P.O.V.*
“So, which animals are we feeding first?” I inquired, trying to sound like I cared. Fluttershy kept staring at me; it was creepy! “Uhh, yes?”
Then she stopped, “Oh, nothing…first we’re gonna feed the animals I have in my home, and then we feed the homeless animals…is that alright with you?!” Fluttershy was all up in my face, staring!
I backed up, “Uhh, yeah. Say Shy, are you okay? You keep staring at me and stuff,”
She quickly stopped, “Of course! Now let’s get the feeding!”
She pulled out bags of feeding with labels to show which animal it belonged to. While Fluttershy was feeding some birds and her pet bunny, Angel, I just picked a random bag. It had Sunflower seeds in it. Not caring, I gave them to some squirrels. Next, I got another bag that had fish in it and gave it to some mice. Then, I got another bag which was filled with carrots and gave it to some raccoons. The animals ate the food like there was no tomorrow, so I guess it was fine!
“I’m done!” I said.
“Oh, that’s great news! I guess you can go outside and start feeding the homeless animals. I’ll be out there right when I get finished,” Fluttershy replied, feeding some chipmunks.
“Uhh, well, I have to go help Applejack. I’m so sorry, Fluttershy,” I explained, not wanting to feed some stupid homeless animals.
“Oh okay,” She replied a little sad.
I walked towards the door, “Maybe next time!”
“Okay,” She replied, waving. I waved back and then left.
*Rarity’s P.O.V.*
I was on my way to Applejack’s house until I saw Snowcatcher a few feet in front of me! Don’t tell me she’s going there too! Ugh, why?! I’m so tired of this pony! I quickly jumped into the bushes to watch her. I hated the twigs and leaves but I set that aside to spy on Snowcatcher. I kept watching her until she disappeared, so I got closer and closer to her until we reached Sweet Apple Acres! Applejack was waiting outside for her.
“Hi Applejack! Did you say we’re gonna buck some apple trees?” Snowcatcher asked, approaching Applejack.
“Howdy Snow! And yeah, we are!” AJ replied, “Wait, right here. I’m gonna go get the carts and buckets to put the apples in.” Snowcatcher smiled while Applejack walked away.
“Oh great! I’m bucking apples with a country dork!” I heard Snowcatcher say under her breath. THAT LITTLE WITCH!!! I was about to come out, but then Applejack came back.
“Alirghty, you buck the left side, and I’ll buck the right. Remember, you have to make sure the apples fall into the bucket and when the bucket is full, put it into the cart. When your cart is full, let me know,” AJ explained, walking over to the right side of Sweet Apple Acres. Snowcatcher nodded her head as she went to the left. I followed behind her, still hidden.
“This is sooo stupid,” I heard Snowcatcher complain. I rolled my eyes as I watched her.
“I don’t feel like straining my legs, so I guess I’ll just use my magic!” She murmured as she pulled each apple off the apple trees with her magic.
*Snowcatcher’s P.O.V.*
I’m so lazy, and I didn’t care! Apple-bucking is dumb! I got all of the apples from the trees and dumped them all into the cart. Then, I dumped all of the buckets on top of them. I guess my work is done! Thus, I trotted over to Applejack.
“I’m done, AJ!” I said.
She looked up at me with a weird look on her face, “Already? Well, that was fast!”
“Yeah, well, you know me,” I replied, “Now I have to go help Rainbow Dash, so please excuse me!”
“Uhh, alright,” AJ said as I left.
*Rarity’s P.O.V.*
She didn’t even do her job right! How dare she do this to Applejack! I knew there was something fishy going on with her! I have to tell Applejack! I jumped out from behind the tree I was hiding behind and ran to go tell AJ.
“Applejack, follow me!” I shouted when I reached her.
“Rarity! What are you doing here?!” She gasped.
“Just follow me!” I commanded, running to Snowcatcher’s cart.
“Okay! I’m coming!” AJ shouted, following behind me. When we finally reached it, I pointed at it.
“Look! Snowcatcher didn’t do the job right! She’s a lying, selfish, fake, hebetudinous pony!” I said, revealing the cart.
“Heba-whadda? What are you talking about?” She asked.
I quickly shook my head, “Never mind! Just look in the cart!” When she looked in the cart, she gasped!
“Um, I’m sure she has a reason why,” AJ replied, in denial.
“I don’t think so, AJ. I heard what she said,” I responded with a concerned look on my face.
“Why were you following her, and what did she say?” She inquired.
“I was on my way to your place, but then I saw her, so I started following her. Oh, and she was basically saying how apple-bucking was dumb, and she called you a country dork,” I explained.
AJ’s face changed from confused to anger, “WHAT??!! Well, we have to tell the others!”
I nodded, “I know, and I already told Fluttershy, but we still need a group meeting.”
AJ nodded in agreement, “Let’s go!” I nodded my head once more as we took off to get the group together.
