After a while Ninroot's business sky rocketed and was a huge success, even outshining Applejack's apple business, noticing this Applejack set out to have the business of Ninroot's to decimate, the reason she is doing this is because since Ninroot grew all the food Ponyville needed Applejack lost a lot of money so much money to where her family started working extra jobs just to put food on the table. Applejack decided to confront Ninroot about her business and why she needs to stop, after wards Ninroot told Techie about what Applejack asked her and then Techie asked "Do you want me to fix this for you, I can handle this how my great grandfather handled things." 

Ninroot then asked "How did he solve things?" 

"Oh he was part of the pony mafia in Manehatten, I'm sure you can just imagine what he did." Replied Techie with a confidant grin. 

Ninroot looked at Techie while still thinking then says "Ohhhhh, no you definitely don't need to do that, in fact I believe that's illegal, no look I can handle this myself." 

Techie said "Ok let me know if you need help." 

Ninroot than said "Oh I won't need help, problems like these deserve a... friendly hoof." and with that she walked out the door. 

Ninroot walked to Applejack's house in sweet apple acres. When she gets there she sees Applejack in the field desperately trying to buck apples out of a tree and into a wooden crate. 

Ninroot trots to Applejack and confronts her with "Hey Applejack how are you?" 

Applejack stopped what she was doing and  looked at Ninroot with a mean scowl. She then says in a gruff voice still in her southern accent, "Well ain't it the creator of the newest business that out shined mine and left me and mah family poor and nearly homeless, what are you doin here, here to rub your success in mah face, well missy if you do that I will buck you from here back to Canterlot where you came from!" 

Ninroot then explained "Look Applejack I did not mean to make all this happen to you, I did not mean for your family to go into poverty, nopony deserves that, but you have to listen to me, I came here to give you some of the business's money." Ninroot pulls out a somewhat large sack full of bits but Applejack shoves it away and says 

"I don't want your petty money! I want an apology and your business shut down!"

Ninroot obviously disappointed at this smacks Applejack in the face with her hoof knocking her down and some sense into her head saying "Do you hear yourself!? This is not you! Your not like this! You need help and I try to help you but you disrespect me and shove away my help! This is why your in this in the first place, you don't accept any help from the people who care about you! Like me! I care about your family, I care about you." 

Applejack looks up from where she was looking up to Ninroot with tears in her eyes and says in a stuttering and whimpering voice "I work s-so hard to keep this family afloat, I do need h-help but I just don't like askin for it." 

Ninroot lets out her hoof willing to help Applejack up and says "Just accept my help and I promise that you and your family will never deal with financial dept or troubles of any kind." Applejack slowly and reluctantly reached up to Ninroot's hoof and got up with her help. 

Applejack then says "O-ok I accept your apology and your help th-thank you." Afterwards Applejack and Ninroot both embrace in a warm hug. Applejack then asks "So whats your secret to selling so much merchandise?" 

Ninroot then laughs and answers "It's all about what the customer likes not what you think they like."
