//------------------------------// // I will burn your house down! // Story: Cave Johnson and Twilight Sparkle here! Let's do this for Science! // by Chetzi //------------------------------// "Cave Johnson here, and Twilight and I are hiding out in trees inside of Sweet Apple Acres. There are explosive citrus fruits on every tree, but they look like apples. Twi, are you ready to collect data?" "Everything's ready sir!" "Shh, here she comes." Apple jack walked out of the barn, completely unaware of the lemons disguised as apples. She yawned and stretched, then licked her lips. It was still early. The sun had just risen up over the tree line. Our scientists both held kaleidoscopes, because they couldn't find binoculars. "Watch carefully, she's about to buck a tree," Johnson whispered to Twilight. Applejack trotted over to the nearest tree, turned around, readied her back legs, and slammed them into the lemon tree. Dozens of lemons fell down all around her. She picked up the first one in her mouth, then looked weirdly at the 'apple's' odd shape. Twilight was rapidly writing down every detail she found. "What 'n tarnation?" Applejack said, examining the lemon. The painted lemon started peeling off its paint as it grew. Within seconds, the lemon combusted in an explosion of lemon juice and fire. A large black ring formed around Applejack, and her face was charred. She opened her eyes and blinked. "Twi... LIGHT!" She screamed into the air. "Uh oh, uh, we should start running now!" Johnson told Twi. They both jumped out of the tree, running for their lives as Applejack raced after them. "Well, *huff* I think that turned out well," Johnson said to Twilight as they ran for their lives. "Twi, *pant* how much scientific data did you get?" "A picture of a super model tripping down a walkway." Twi quickly told him, as they ran past trees. "Now, that's good science!"
