Sky woke up in a a bed with budder covers that had a picture of a budder sword on it. He yawned and sat up in the bed, stretching his wings. Sky got up out of bed and walked over to the calendar. Husky had taken the liberty to put all of Ponyville's important events on the calendar. Sky scanned his hoof over the calendar until the found the date. In the box the words "Apple Bucking Starts. Go To AJ" were scribbled.
"Ok, so AJ must be Apple Jack." Sky said as he walked over to the dresser. He pulled open the top drawer and grabbed a gray and black shirt with golden highlights and pulled it on. Sky then grabbed his shades off the top of the dresser, pulled his head through the chain of his necklace, and looked in the mirror. "So Majestic!" he said happily. Sky then trotted out of the room, shutting the door behind him. Sky's room was on the second floor, and he could smell a sweet aroma coming from the kitchen. "Yummy..." he mumbled as he hovered over to the stairs.
Once at the bottom, the sweet smell completely filled his nose. Sky rushed into the kitchen to see Huskymudkips in an apron cooking pancakes. He yelped as Sky zoomed into the room. "AAH!" Husky yelled. Sky snickered.
"Nice apron Ms. Husky..." he said between uncontrollable snickers. Husky rolled his eyes and pulled the apron off. "Happy?" he said as he turned back to the stove.
Sky calmed himself and tried picking up a fork. "I forgot how to use these hooves dude." he said, struggling to get a grip. "Just don't think about it." Husky said as he levitated a plate of pancakes over to Sky.
Sky's eyes widened. "Wait- did you just.." he said. "Did i just-" Husky said, equally surprised. Husky looked up and saw a turquoise horn poking out of his mane. "No wonder my head hurt so much last night." he said.
"Cool.....you can use...DA MAGICZ!!" Sky said staring at the horn. Husky smiled a rolled his eyes. "Better hurry up and eat before Bajan comes down. You know how much he eats." and with that, Sky started shoveling pancakes into his mouth, stopping every once in a while to take a sip of orange juice.
Soon, Sky and Husky heard hooves coming down the stairs. They looked to see Ty and Bajan trudging into the kitchen. Ty's mane was a mess, and his headphones were around his neck. Bajan's plaid over shirt wasn't on him, just his white tank top. The colts stopped and saw the mountain of pancakes on the table. Ty and Bajan looked at each other and ran to the table. They started shoveling in pancakes, as if they were in a competition. Sky and Husky stared in disbelief. "Wow." Husky said. After a while, Ty and Bajan stopped eating.
"Dude you are a whiz in the kitchen Husky!" Ty said. "Yeah, well thanks." Husky replied. "Whoa!" Bajan said, pointing at the horn on Husky head. "When'd you get that?" he asked. "I think last night. My head started to hurt as i went to bed, but i thought it was just a migraine." Husky chuckled. "Well, you guys ready for Apple Bucking season?" Husky asked. Sky and Ty nodded, but Bajan looked confused.
"What's that?" he asked. "I put a notice on your calendar." Husky told him. "I know, but that doesn't explain what it is." Bajan said, rolling his eyes. "Oh. Well, AppleJack says that every year these special apples, called Zap Apples, appear on the trees. They have to be picked before the end of the third day of they all disappear." Husky replied. "And, today is the third day." he added. "I'm ready!" Ty said enthusiastically. "Me too." Sky said. "Ok. Lets go to Sweet Apple Acres!" Bajan said, rushing out the door. Bajan then ran back in and zipped up the stairs. He came back down three minutes later with his plaid shirt on. Ty shook his head and pulled his head phones onto his ears. Then, the colts walked out of the house and towards Sweet Apple Acres.
When they got to AppleJack's farm, they heard the clanging of pans. Inside the house, an old green mare was banging them together. The colts ignored it and went to look for AppleJack. Sky saw the rustling of leaves on a tree, so they went to it. There, they saw AJ bucking trees with her hind legs, and rainbow colored apples with zigzag stems fall into buckets. "Howdy partners. Mind lending me a hoof and helping me buck some apples?" she asked as she kicked another tree. "That's what we're here for!" Ty said cheerfully.
"Good. You colts can cover half of the west field, Big Mac'll cover the South fields, I''ll do the north, and Apple Bloom'll help you guys do the other half of the west field." AppleJack said, shoving a bunch of empty barrels their way."Wait- Apple bloom? Isn't she just a filly?" Bajan asked. "Yep, but she usually does the entire west field, so i think she'll be glad to split the load with you." AJ replied.
Applejack then went back to bucking, after pointing the way to the west fields. When Sky and the gang got there, they saw some of the trees had already been bucked. Beside one of them, kicking a bunch of times, was Apple Bloom, the yellow filly with a red mane. "Howdy Misters! Nice to see you again! You ready to help me get this west field? Maybe the faster we get this done, the faster i can go play with the cutie mark crusaders!" she said with glee.
The gang nodded and walked in. Bajan's eyes started to twitch. Husky saw and went over to him. "Dude? You ok?" he asked. "Betty..Betty wouldn't like me hanging around trees.....B-b-betty..." he mumbled. "Its ok. Just think of how awesome the apple pie will taste after we're done." Husky told him. Bajan started to calm down. "Yeah. Apple Pie." he said, his mouth watering.
Soon the colts got to work, bucking apples, picking apples, plucking apples. Soon, the entire field's trees were empty. Panting and sweating, the colts sat down against the barn. "Dude. That was hard..." Bajan said, trying to catch his breath.
It was sundown, and AJ called them into the house. "Well fellers, congrats. you picked the entire west field of Zap Apples. For your hard work, i'd like to give you these." Apple Jack said as a big red colt walked in the room. He handed them a five layer cake with white icing and little rainbow apple slices around the layers. On top, there was a little icing budder sword. Sky gasped. "Its So Majestic!!" he said happily.
"Eeyup." the big red colt said. "Oh yeah! this is Big Mac. The strongest of the Apple Family." Applejack said, and Big Mac smiled. He set the cake on the table and Ty picked it up with his magic. "Ooh. This is harder than i remember." he said, struggling. Husky used his magic to help him pick it up. "Thanks man." Ty said. "Thanks for the majestic budder cake!" Sky said as he followed them and Bajan out of the house.
It was dark when they got back to the house, but Bashur greeted them friendly. "Welcome back guys! How was Apple bucking?" he asked. "Hard." Bajan replied. Ty and Husky levitated in the cake and put it on the long table in the dining room. "But, we did get a cake." Bajan continued.
"Cool! Can i have some?" Bashur asked politely. "Sure." Ty said, cutting him a piece. Husky and Ty then cut everyone else a piece, including WeedPony, BluePony, Jason, and Seto. After everyone was done, Ty, Husky, and Bajan were dragged by Sky upstairs. They went into the meeting room, which was full of beanbag chairs and had a water cooler. The center of the room had a big oval table with a bunch of chairs around it. Husky, Ty, and Bajan each took a seat, while Sky shut and locked the door.
"Ok. so what did you think of our first day back in Ponyville?" Sky asked, sitting at the end of the table, in a big budder chair. "Loved it!" Ty said. "I missed this place." said Husky. "Me too." Bajan chimed in.
Just then, the portal appeared out of nowhere. "What?! But I didn't tap my amulet!" Sky said confused. Ty and Husky looked at each other in confusion, and Bajan stared at the portal weird-like, The colts didn't get sucked in, but instead, a tan colt popped out. The colt had a black suit and some red and black sunglasses on, and his cutie mark was a music note. The colts looked at each other. They knew exactly who it was.
