Spell Gone Wrong

by Rainbow Swirl


Apple Bucking Twilight

As Twilight went outside the door of the house she walked over to the wagon that was just to the right of the doorway. Looking at it though, she thought that there might be smaller wagons that would make it easier on herself. So hitching herself back onto the wagon nice and gently before walking over to the other side of the barn. There she found a smaller wagon and some buckets in a messy unneat pile. Twilight then unhitched herself from the wagon and began hitching up to the smaller wagon. While she was doing that she unknowingly tried to use her magic to levitate the buckets into the wagon. But as she did she felt excruciating pain on her forehead, she quickly stopped her magic and stumbled. She almost hit the ground as the baskets began rolling around. One was rolling rather quickly into the clearing in front of her. Without thinking she started her magic again to stop the runaway basket. But just like before the same knife stabbing pain throbbed all around could only feel her horn. Then at the same time as she tried to trot over to the basket and tripped. Now on the ground she could only feel the throbbing of her forehead and hearing a slight ringing. After a few minutes of resting on the ground she stood up slowly as her head still ached. She then looked up to see Big Mac watching. As if he didn't see it he began whistling and trotted away rather swiftly. Feeling very embarrassed she remembered the injuries and with blushing cheeks she turned around to unhitch herself from the one strap on her and walked over to pick up the scattered baskets by hoof. After grabbing all the baskets she put them in the small wagon and hitched herself to the wagon once more. But, she accidentally misplaced the harness and suddenly felt crushing pain on both of her sides. Quickly she frantically unhooked herself from the wagon to releave her of the pain. She then fell back to the ground on her knees, she then panted for a few minutes trying her best to not cause any more pain. As she recovered from her second incident she stood up and turned around only to feel dumb ad unwise as she looked at her bandaged wings, forgetting the second inflection from last week. After this she ever so gently positions the harness higher up near her collarbone and finally secured all the straps on the harness and made sure that the harness wouldn't slip down onto her back; now that everything was ready she set out into the vast apple orchard. Just as she was about walk into the wildish apple orchard she stopped to see in the corner of her vision she saw that to the right of her near the edge of the orchard was Big Mac coming back from the orchard with a large wagon full of apples and at least to to three buckets full of more apples on top of that. Shocked by what she saw she watched him go behind the barn with the dozens of apples she walked off into the orchard. A few minutes after setting hoof into the orchard she stopped to look around and saw that all the trees in her current area had no baskets underneath the trees, and yet the branches had plenty of apples that were ripe and ready to buck. With a little remark Twilight unhitched herself from the wagon and began unloading the baskets from the wagon. As she did this she saw Big Mac back in the orchard with the same wagon and buckets, but now they were apple free. He stopped and nodded to Twilight and before carrying on into the jungle of apple trees. After she waved to him she quickly got to work and got all of the baskets full of ripe red apples. After retrieving all of the apples in her immediate area and loaded them into the wagon she gently hitched herself back to the wagon and trotted back out of the orchard.

Twilight then thought to herself, ''where do I put these now?''

Twilight thought for a moment when she remembered where Big Mac went when he had that huge wagon of apples.

"There must be some sort of storage room behind that wall." Twilight thought as she walked over to check out the area.

She went behind the wall of the barn to see an underground silo that had a pipe the perfect size for apples. With this she unhitched herself once more and unloaded all of the apples before hitching herself back up and headed back towards the orchard. But, as she began to walk back into the orchard with the newly emptied wagon She saw Big Mac once more. but, instead of having a huge cart of apples he had with him only one small mouth held basket of apples.

''those apples will be for sale, maybe. Or maybe he forgot to store that basket. No way, that was no working basket. Hmm... Wait, isn't he seeing Cheeriliee today?" Twilight thought as she walked, fully enthralled with her thoughts.

"That must be it because..." WACK!!!

"AGH!!! What happened?!" Twilight said as she rubbed her nose.

"Oh, well then..." Twilight said as she stood up backing away from the small apple tree that she just bumped into.

She rubbed her nose some more and looked to see Big Mac once more; this time he came out of the barn with the same basket of apples and walked into the house.

Twilight began to walk into the trees as she said, ''He must be cooking something with those apples for Cheerilee like apple pie or e might be brewing apple cider. Thats so sweet of him to do' to cook their own food instead of going to a restaurant. I hope that those two get along well; their a good match.'' Twilight said in her head as she began to set up the baskets once more for another harvest.
