Apples Are Wise

The TARDIS had moved far enough away from the weeping angel to be considered...semi-safe. The Doctor, Rarity, and Sweetie Belle exited, looking around.

"A farm? Now, why would she take us here?" The Doctor wondered aloud.

"Rarity? Isn't this Sweet Apple Acres?" Sweetie asked.

"Why, yes it is! I never thought I'd be so happy to see a...dirty ole farm. No offense to the Apple's'" Rarity replied.

A sudden thought barged into her mind. She'd seen AJ in town earlier when she'd been shopping. Maybe she would know something about the previous owner of the statue! Rarity quickly ushered Sweetie and the Doctor to the house, knocking on the door. A shuffling sound was heard not too much later. A sleepy pair of eyes stared at them from behind the screen door.

"Rarity? What are y'all doing here at this time a night?" Apple Jack asked, yawning.

"Forgive me, darling. It's terribly rude to wake you at such an hour. But, an emergency has come up. May we come in?" She asked.

AJ kindly opened the door, leading them into the living room. She had them sit on the couch, sitting in a chair not far away. "What's happening?"

Rarity, the Doctor, and Sweetie all began talking at once. Apple Jack hardly got a full sentence out of any of it. But, it seemed urgent. Finally, the Doctor was the only one taking. Considering he'd covered Rarity and Sweetie's mouth.

"One simple question. Do you know who owns a stand that sells...oddities?" He asked.

"As a matter fact...I do recall a stallion who sells some strange stuff" AJ answered, rubbing her chin with her hoof. "Don't know his name. He's an odd one. Don't talk hardly much, ain't never seen his face, nor got his name."

"And yet, you buy stuff from him?! And I thought the humans were stupid" The Doctor huffed.

Rarity socked him upside the head, glaring at him. He glared back. Both annoyed each other, yet found each other slightly...charming. Had no clue why though. Sweetie broke their trance by clearing her throat. "What are we gonna do now?"

"Now, I need to track down this mystery stallion. Have any clue where he lives?"

"I've heard he lives deep in the Everfree Forest."

The Doctor thanked her, and quickly trotted out the door. As he did so he muttered, "Who knew fruit could be so wise."

Rarity looked after him, biting her lip. She couldn't let him go alone! Anything could happen to him! She pushed Sweetie towards Apple Jack.

"AJ? Could Sweetie spend the night for a couple days? I have to go with him, and I don't want her getting hurt" Rarity pleaded.

"Sure thang, Sugar cube" She replied. "Her an Apple Bloom 'll have tons of fun."

Rarity thanked her, kissed Sweetie Belle's head, and ran out the door. They waved after her as she ran towards the blue box. She noticed it was starting to disappear.

"Oh no you dont" Rarity growled, picking up speed.

Using her horn, and her pace, she slammed into the two doors, forcing them open. She hung halfway out of the door, trying to pull herself in. The Doctor jumped at the loud sound. He looked up to see what it was and yelped at the sight. He ran over, pulling her in the rest of the way. The doors slammed shut behind her.

"What the hell was that!? Are you mad!?" He exclaimed.

Rarity thought about what she'd just done. After a few seconds, a smile spread across her face. She gently stock up, whipping her mane back. "Just a little."
