Everything is back to normal at the House of Pony...well, what counts as normal anyway. Pinkie felt a lot better after the incident was over and work harder than ever since then. Okay, she tends to slip up again and often, but the pink pony also managed to give her service with a smile.

Although, today, one Earth Pony isn't doing that: Applejack. She doesn't mind her job of sitting at the booth, playing the cartoons for the guests. However, although being the Element of Honesty, the cowpony isn't being a bit honest because of what happened today.

"And now, everypony's best friend as well as mine, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" Spike announces eagerly to the audience who applauds.

Twilight slid onto the stage, smiling as she exclaims, "Hey, ponies! Good evening and we got a very special show today. Why? Because it's Open Mike Night! So if anyone is willing to try out an act, feel free to come in and any perform. Any takers and we will be glad to take them! The sign-ups are down the hall!"

Psychopath Joke overheard as he laughs, "Ha ha ha, oh yes! Good idea, princess! I will finally get a chance to show your audience some REAL comedy!"

Everyone in the room laughs, making Psychopath Joke frowns angrily at that. The princess has went and made a fool out of him in front of the heroes and villains of Equestria, even his fellow Dark Mystic Ponies are laughing at him!

"So... The Princess thinks she's funny. We'll see who gets the last laugh. Oh that's right. I'm the one gets the last laugh." Psychopath Joke remarks as he laugh crazily and maniacally.

Rarity and Rainbow were at the front, doing their usual jobs while taking up signups for those wishing to participate in the Open Mike Night. However, to their surprise, a familiar Earth Pony was nearby and she looks upset.

"A.J? Aren't you supposed to be in the booth?" Rainbow ask, arching an eyebrow to her friend.

"Indeed. What on earth are you doing here?" Rarity ask as she notes the foul mood look on the cowpony's face. Something is wrong with Applejack. "My dear... Are you alright? You look more upset."

Applejack groans, shaking her head while explaining, "Everypony loves Twilight Sparkle."

"What's wrong with that? Everyone does that, even you. You are her first best friend." Rarity said, pointing out that she was the first to befriend Twilight when the then-unicorn first came to Ponyville.

"Yeah. You should be proud of it. Well, of course, we should since we opened her eyes to friendship." Rainbow said to Applejack of that fact.

"Not anymore... Coz nopony loves me..." Applejack scowls as she put her flank onto the desk while crossing her upper forelegs.

Suddenly Sting flew up, exclaiming to the ponies, "Hey, help, help! Rarity, I'm so glad I caught you! I got to get the flowers to Queen Bumble tomorrow and I'm late enough as it is!"

"Ah can handle wit' that. It ain't a problem." Applejack said with a smile. This is her chance to prove herself!

"You? I don't think so." Rarity said in concern, worried for the worst. "I don't even think that you can fix your car with your temper. Yours is worse than Rainbow's."

"Yeah... That would be the proof of it." Rainbow said in worry. The Pegasus pony can tell that her friendly has spent WAY too much time in booth. "Why don't you and I switch jobs for tonight? Just take the day off from the booth. You've been cooping inside it too much."

Applejack sighed, "Ah wouldn't mind taking a new job fer a change. But unlike Shining Armor, Ah know what to do wit' 'de door girl stuff."

"While you're at it, ask Twilight about the time management." Rarity said to Applejack, making her a bit irritated upon hearing that.

"Jealous problem? I'd never thought that A.J is jealous of Twilight Sparkle." Rainbow said in concern for Applejack's problems. "She never gets jealous of anyone before, not even Twilight."

"That's usually your apartment on it." Rarity said with a sly smirk on her face.

As Applejack came into the backstage area, he saw Ben and Pinkie talking as the brown pony spoke up, "Hey, Pinkie? Remember the adventure where Applejack disappeared for a while and we couldn't get her to come back and found out later it's because she didn't get the first place ribbons in the Equestria rodeo?"

"Ooooh, yeah!" Pinkie exclaims as she bounces up and down. "The one where Derpy Hooves shows up and meanie critics criticized it because of her?"

"Right. Do you know the name of the adventure? I'm trying to put it in the logbook."

Applejack smiles eagerly, another opportunity! The Earth Pony came over as she spoke, "Shucks, Ah done couldn't help but overheard ya speaking about it. Ah know 'de adventure because Ah was in it. It was called "Appleloosa's Most Wanted", our recent one in years Ah reckoned."

"Uh, actually Applejack..." Twilight said as she passed by. "It was called "The Last Roundup", the Equestria rodeo wasn't even in Appleloosa."

"Wow, Applejack. You starred in "The Last Roundup" and don't even remember the name of it?" Pinkie ask in a disbelief amusing chuckle. "Wow."

The Cutie mark Crusaders were having a break in the band pit when Applejack came up, smiling as she said, "Hey, girls! Glad Ah bump into ya three. Why not play a little song?"

"But sis, it's our break!" Apple Bloom points out to her sister that she and her friends are in the middle of their break.

"Plus, we aren't supposed to play again until..." Scootaloo begins to say, pointing out that it isn't time for the girls to resume their task.

Suddenly Twilight came up, smiling as she exclaims, "Hey girls! Say, when you three are done eating, how about a little music?"

"Eeyup! Anything fer yew, Twilight!" Apple Bloom exclaims in delight as she and her friends prepared to get to band performance.

Applejack looks stunned then grumbled under her breath as she storms off. Her good friend has shown her up again! Unbelievable!

The fillies overheard Applejack as Sweetie Belle spoke to Apple Bloom, "Did you sister muttered?"

Scootaloo whistled in concern at this, "Wow... It was usually Rainbow Dash who does that whenever she gets jealous."

"Wait a minute! Yer're saying Applejack gets jealous?" Apple Bloom ask, shocked that it was suggested that her sister is getting jealous. "No way. Yer're kidding, right? Mah sister never gets jealous of somepony especially Twilight Sparkle."

"Why is everyone loving Twilight Sparkle?!" Applejack is heard yelling, making the girls glare at their friend as if asking 'you were saying?'

As Applejack trots off to the post, Fluttershy flies up to her, exclaiming, "Applejack! Oh, I'm so glad I caught you. I need your help!"

"Really? What is it?" Applejack ask eagerly as she listens to what Fluttershy is saying.

"Well, this is embarrassing. But you see, the fanmake versions of us from My Little Heroines wish to split a salad. Oh, but I can't figure out how to do it evenly. I can split it in half to get two salads, again to get four, and again to get eight...but I still can't get seven. Oh, can you please help me?"

Of course, Twilight was passing by when she overheard the problem. The mare smiles as she spoke up, "Say, I couldn't help but overhear this problem. And I got a solution. Now, you have eight salads and wanted to give them to the seven My Little Heroines heroes like Blossom, Kim Possible, Buttercup, Fifi La Fume, Lilo Pelekai, Bubbles and Shirley the Loon? Isn't there an eighth person amongst them?"

"Well, let's see...Ryan didn't come....oh, but Furrball did!" Fluttershy exclaims, gasping in surprise. "Oh dear, I almost forgot about that poor kitty."

"Well, there you go! Who needs seven salads? With Furrball, you now have eight people!"

"Wow, you are a genius, Twilight!" Fluttershy smiles to Applejack, who looks down that her friend show her up AGAIN. The Pegasus said, "Don't be sad. At least Twilight knows all of our adventures well."

Applejack growls furiously as she storms off, "Oh, everypony loves Twilight Sparkle. Everypony loves her! Twilight 'dis, 'Twilight 'dat. Twilight, Twilight, Twilight! Awww, horse feathers!"

Applejack was standing near Rarity's desk, sighing in concern. She is having one bad day lately.

Just then an old friend of Applejack's, Countess Coloratura AKA Rara came in, surprised to see her friend near the desk. She spoke up, "Applejack? What's she doing here? I thought she was working as the film manager."

Rarity shrugs as she explains, "Applejack switched with Rainbow Dash for some fresh air. Cooped inside the film studio can sometimes make her tired and crazy a bit."

"Ha... Ha... Rarity..." Applejack remarks dryly to the Element of Generosity. It was so funny, the cowpony almost forgot to laugh!

Rarity cleared her throat as she spoke, "Anyway, Applejack, So, how's your work?"

"AJ, you don't sound happy. Is something wrong?" Rara ask Applejack in concern. Her friend since foalhood is a bit sadden and upset lately. Why?

"You can talk with us. We're your friends too." Rarity said gently to Applejack.

Applejack sighed, at least there are some friends who are willing to listen, "Thanks. You see, nopony-!" However Applejack yelps as Rarity pushes her aside, interrupting what she was going to say.

"Twilight this, Twilight that. Everypony loves Twilight Sparkle! It ticks me off!"

Twilight storms off, much to the two's notice and surprise. Rara whispered to Rarity, "I don't remember Applejack being jealous. She's never jealous of anyone, not even me when I was Countess Coloratura."

"I'm a bit surprise too. But don't worry, she'll get over it." Rarity whispers to Rara right back. The cowpony has gotten through some tight spots before. She can do so this time.

In the audience, a concerned Pinkamena spoke to her brother, "Poor Applejack, she is having a rough day.

"Indeed she is." Golden Heart said with a nod. Pinkamena ponders as she slowly looks seeing Psychopath joke, giving a stern look.

Pinkamena slowly slides down goes under the table and zips around, watching Psychopath Joke.

"All right, everypony! I know you're going to enjoy our first cartoon of the night big time!" Twilight exclaims to the audience, smiling as she got back on stage.

The audience applauds. Ben spoke into the usual headset, "Okay, Applejack, hit it!"

"Sorry, you've got the wrong pony to call." Rainbow jokes as she sat in Applejack's booth. Ben's surprised, what is she doing in there?

"She and I switched jobs, so she can have some fresh air. And of course, she needs some cool off from being jealous of Twilight Sparkle."

"Applejack? Jealous? You're kidding?" Ben ask in bewilderment. If Rainbow is joking, he doesn't like it. "She'd never jealous of anypony, not even Twilight."

"Yeah, me too. But best you keep an eye on her. Just make sure she won't do something silly as I did." Rainbow remarks to Ben with a nod.

"Don't worry, AJ taught me well; Okay, here we go!" Rainbow said as she kicks at the player, staring the cartoon. "It's on the show!"

JUSSONIC PRESENT...

A BEN MARE CARTOON

Ben's Rival Returns

Ben Mare and his pals Flash Sentry and Sunburst were at a local beach relaxing. The boys and their gals Twilight, Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer are on the beach to have some time in the sun, the princess's students came with them for some friendship lessons. Ben lies down on the sand, sighing a bit...

"i know! No problems, no monsters, just some time in the sun." Flash said with a light chuckle.

"Right, best off..." Sunburst was interrupted as he hears roaring nearby. "What the hay?!"

The stallions turns and yelps as they saw a big AV being driven onto the sand before stopping, sending a bunch of sand right onto Ben's group, covering them and making them look like Sand Sphinxes. When they shook the sand off, Ben Flash and Sunburst glares at the driver in the vehicle and his goons: Boris, Boxco and Dum-Dum!

"Hey, boys! Look at this, it's the Prince of Friendship!" Boris chuckles cruelly.

Ben and his pals yelped as they ducked. This is because Boxco tosses a beach umbrella at them which flew past over their heads, landing nearby and opened up, magically dropping a couple of technological items like a massage chair and a mini-fridge of Apple Cider.

Boris rolls his eyes as he uses his magic to send sand onto his boys, making them stop laughing. He snaps, "Its sandwiches, you dopes! Ugh!"

"Sorry!" The two goons remarks embarrassedly as Boris jumps into his chair, sighing.

"Well, you said it." Ben said, smirking as he put on some sunglasses, round ones.

Boris, upon noticing, decided to one-up his rival by putting on the square sunglasses to compete. Ben then pulls out a bottle of Apple Cider from his cooler to take a drink. Boris of course uses a remote to open the mini-fridge that gave him a big bottle of apple cider to drink.

Ben responded by turning on a mini-fan to cool himself down, Boris just turns on an AC next to the mini-fridge to cool himself down. The hero turns on the radio to listen to some music. Boris does the same thing...but his radio comes with high-tech speakers which blared so loudly, it knocked Ben, the others and their beach items out.

"Oh, someone's going all right." Flash scowls as he flew over and turns the music off, much to Boris's annoyance.

"Hey, what are you doing?! That's my music, Sentry!" Boris remarks with a scowl. "Are you and your pals looking for trouble?!"

"Oh, somepony is going to get trouble all right!" Ben growls angrily as he and his pals glares at Boris and his goons. It looks like a big rumble is about to happen on this beach right now.

"Hey, Ben, hey Boris!" A familiar voice spoke out. The boys stopped what they're doing as they turn see Twilight in a bathing suit. Sunset and Starlight are with her in bathing suits of their own. "Lovely day, right?"

"Oh, I say it's beautiful." Ben said, giving a big smile to Twilight with Boris doing the same thing.

"Right, it's a good day. Twilight thought we could find a friendship lesson right here." Starlight explains as Sunburst smiles to his filly.

"Well, see ya." Sunset chuckles as the mares heads off to have their time in the sun, if only to soak in a few rays.

As the mares took their leave of the colts, mostly Ben and Boris who were about to fight when the girls show up, the two, realizing that they're still in the air, both fell right onto their faces.

"Oh, you bet. Boy, that Twilight Sparkle is one big knockout. Later, Benny!" Boris chuckles as he smooth his mane, preparing to leave.

"Hold it right there!" Ben snaps as he pulls Boris's tail with his own mouth. "Where do you think you're going?"

Their pals watch as Benm and Boris tries to fight, racing to get to Twilight. These guys are very determined to win her over!

"Hey, Twiley? Wanna go swimming?" Boris, quicker, ask Twilight near the volleyball nets.

Ben caught up to Twilight, smiling as he said, "Hey, Twiley! Wanna get a lemonade?"

"Thanks, but no thanks. Ben. We're only here to get some sun before tonight's luau. See you boys later."

As the girls leave, Ben and Boris smirks at the same time, having the same idea...and spoke the same thing, "Luau! It's settled then! I shall ask Twilight to be my date to the luau!" The stallions shook their heads as they realize what the other said. "Wait, what?"

"I'm sure Trixie won't mind." Dum-Dum remarks with a shrug, not really getting it.

"Oh, forget it, Boris! You and I both know that Twilight is my fillyfriend. So she's going to be my own date!" Ben exclaims to Boris in determination. However the bad guy snorts and laughs at this. "And what's so funny?"

"Oh, just the fact that there's no way you will ever have a chance with Twilight." Boris remarks wickedly to Ben.

"Who wanna go for a ridiculous Earth Filth like him...when she could have someone rich, handsome, athletic and sophisticated like me?"

"Because she knows you're a stupid jerk who is mean against Earth ponies and humans, that's why." Flash snaps to Boris furiously.

"You also hang with the Brotherhood of Injustice, commit crimes on various occasions and tried to harm Nyx!" Sunburst exclaims in agreement.

"Also, rich? Please, it's your daddy's money you're using! Handsome? Please! Athletic, maybe. But sophisticated? Ha! How about proving it?" Ben demands to his rival with a frown.

"All right, very well, then. How about we make a deal." Boris said with a smirk, having an idea on how to settle this. "We're near a volleyball court so how about we play a round of game between me and my boys against you and your pals?"

"Right! Winner takes Twilight Sparkle to the luau!" Boxco remarks with a smirk while Dum-Dum nodded eagerly. This is going to be fun.

"Wait, are you suggesting that we treat Twilight like some type of trophy?" Ben gasped in alarm and annoyance. "Forget it! I wouldn't do that to her!"

"Oh, well, I would completely understand if you're too chicken to compete with Boris." Boris remarks with a sigh, hoping that saying that will rile his enemy up.

Ben twitches a bit. Flash protest, "Ben, don't do it. He will try to cheat you, even if you do win."

"Right, there's no point in trying to do this." Sunburst said in agreement, "Starlight and Sunset wouldn't agree to this if..."

"Oh, well, I will have them as well. I will have all mares with me." Boris boasted, much to Flash and Sunburst's shock and alarm. "Of course, if you boys are too much of wussies to go along with it..."

"YOU'RE ON!" Flash and Sunburst exclaims angrily to Boris. No one tries to take their gals.

"All right, we will play your little game." Ben snaps as he takes a volleyball nearby. No one calls him a chicken and gets away with it! "And to be fair, no magic or flying!"

Boris gave a hidden smirk to himself. This will be an easy win for him...also, even if he does lose, he got a little backup plan.

As the game is about to begin, Ben was bouncing the ball up as Flash and Sunburst prepares themselves.

"Hang on, guys, I gotta warm up first!" Dum-Dum calls out from the other side of the net. Ben, Boris and the others shakes their heads, sighing as they waited. Dum-Dum did some stretches as well as some hoof push-ups, trotting in place. He jump-roped and twisted himself around. With a smile, Dum-Dum begins to speak, "All right, I'm read..."

Before Dum-Dum could finish, Ben serves the ball, hitting him in the face hard and knocking the stooge down. He got up and shook his head in shock.

"Just getting warmed up." Ben remarks with a smirk, mocking what Dum-Dum said earlier.

Soon the volleyball game truly begins as the boys hit the ball back and forth. At one point, Boris puts on some boxing gloves and punch the ball five times, sending it back to the good guys, grounding them down. The villain laughs as Sunburst recovers and volleyballs the ball up, knocking it right at Boris's face and knocking him down.

A bit later, the game was pretty even. It was Boxco's turn to serve. He smirks and held the ball up, hiding a pin in his own wing. As the white Pegasus threw the ball into the air, he punched it with the pin, causing the air to go flying right out of the ball, sending it right to Ben's group who tries to hit it.

Flash soon grabs the ball, causing him to fly past Sunset who doesn't realize what was going on right now. She is reading a magazine right now. Flash somehow flew out of the world and lets the volleyball go, falling right down and hitting the ground, causing the deflated ball to go down in the air. Boris smirks as there's another point for him.

Ben at one point hit the ball very hard...causing it to hit someone. Grimmore came out and thrown the ball hard on Ben for hitting the ball straight to his head.

The hero threw the ball right more. This time, Dragoking got ticked off and chased after Ben while trying to eat him for slamming the ball on his flanks.

The next time, Boris threw the ball...and this time, they hit someone. As the trio of bad guys tries to get their ball off, they saw to their horror who the ball just hit. Devil Destroyer got very angry while glowing in red like wanting to kill someone. Boris and his teammates quickly grabbed the volleyball and ran off.

The game soon came to the point that Ben's group was really ahead. Boris will have to play dirty. Since magic and flying are not allowed, the trio of bad guys used a volleyball shooter. Ben, Flash and Sunburst tried to hit the ball. The balls became too much but all of them fell, and sure enough, our heroes was able to get ahead by one point.

Ben's group needed one more point to win the game for sure. And it's Boxco's turn to serve. The purple unicorn smirks as he put the volleyball into a cannon and hit the fuse. The good guys gulped in worry, this may not end well!

Dum-Dum fires the volleyball, sending it through the net and right past Ben's group and the oblivious girls. The ball went around the beach as Dum-Dum laughs madly...unaware that the ball flew right behind him before it knocked the villain right out.

The ball meanwhile went over Ben's net as he swatted the ball right at the recovering Dum-Dum who groaned out. Boris groans as he slaps himself in annoyance.

"Game, set and match." Ben said with a smirk as he and his pals leave. Looks like this game is theirs. They came over to Twilight's group as Ben coughs. "Hey, Twiley!"

"Huh? Oh, hey, Ben." Twilight said as she looks up from a book that she's reading.

"How about you girls join us?" Flash ask Sunset and Starlight with a smile as Sunburst nodded in agreement. "We're going too."

"We would love to go. Got nothing else better to do tonight." Sunset said in agreement.

But then, Boris smirks, coming over. Time to deploy his backup plan. As he gave Ben the volleyball, confusing the stallion as he spoke, "Well, congratulations, Ben. Guess you won your trophy after all."

"Trophy? What trophy?" Twilight ask confused, making Ben shaking his head in shock.

"Well, don't you know?" Boxco ask Twilight with a smirk before Ben could speak up. "Boris and Ben wanted to go out with you and your gal pals for the luau...and Benny decided the best way was by a volleyball game!"

"Yeah, the ball was against the idea but Boris was forced to do it when Ben was calling him a chicken and so he took the challenge." Dum-Dum remarks with a nod, following through with what Boris has in mind.

"It's true. Ben's the one who said 'Let's treat Twilight like she was a type of trophy'." Boris said, much to Ben's shock and Twlight's anger. "His pals didn't wanna go through on it but he forced them by deciding to take their gals with him as well."

"What?! Benjamin Maregilligan!" Twilight exclaims shock and angry to Ben who yelped. "I expected better from you! Bad enough you treated me like a trophy, but trying to steal my friends away from their colts?!"

"Wait, Twilight, I did say the words...but Boris and his pals twisted it the other way aro..." Ben begins to protest but Twilight pushed him away in disgust. She isn't going to have it!

"And here I thought you were a gentlepony, Ben...but I can see that you are really a chauvinist PIG! Boris? I would love to be your date."

Ben looks stunned as Twilight walks off with Boris as the two goons followed. The villain smirks wickedly, looks like he did it.

Starlight pauses as she spoke, "I may not be smart as Twilight, but I can smell a trick from Boris a mile away."

"And here I thought Twilight would know better after the Winter Round-Up Disaster." Sunset groans, recalling what happened the last time Twilight believes in someone than her own heart.

"Yeah...but I guess she wasn't thinking straight...and now Ben has to pay for it." Flash sighs in sadness as he looks to Ben who trots on away. Poor Ben.

It was later that night at the luau. Boris and Twilight are wearing leis while sitting at the docks with Boxco and Dum-Dum nearby, drinking Apple Cider. Ben is sitting under the docks, overhearing Boris and Twilight, making him frown. He got to find a way to prove that Boris has set him up again...but how?

"You, Twilight are a dream." Boris said with a smirk. Ben frowns from where he's at, looking down. "So how would you like to make my dreams come true?"

"Yeah, go for it!" The stooges cheers as Boris leans in for a kiss. But Twilight shakes her head and pushes him away. "Awww!

"Let's not ruin the moment, okay?" Twilight ask with a frown of shock. She isn't about to get that close yet!

"Hey, sweetheart, come on, how about a little sugar?" Boris ask as he tries to grab Twilight forcefully. Ben looks up in concern. That jerk is getting too "friendly".

Boris leans in, ready for that kiss...but Twilight quickly punches him in the mouth. Boxco yelps in alarm, "Whoa, Boris! I guess framing Ben was the reward you get, huh?"

"Wait, what?! You framed him?!" Twilight gasps in shock at what Boxco just said, making Ben smirked. Now she realized it!

"Idiot!" Boris groans out angrily. Boxco messed up big time. "Okay, fine. We made that story up. We played volleyball and..."

"So, Ben wasn't the one who didn't wanted to treat me like a trophy and try to steal my friends away their colts...it was you!" Twilight prepares to heads off to find Ben and to apologize, but Boris tries to grab her. "Hey! Get away from me! HELP!"

Ben has had enough of listening in. He quickly flew up to the docks, snapping, "Hey, get away from my mare!"

"Hey, well, well, if it isn't my old pal..." Boris, recovering, said as he smirks...only for Ben to hits a loose board on the docks, sending him right into the air. "BENNNNYYYY!!!"

The couple watched as Boris hits the luau food table. Boxco and Dum-Dum prepares to charge Ben but two more familiar pairings blocked their way. Flash snaps angrily, "Trying to help your boss, boys?"

Sensing that they're outnumbered, Boxco and Dum-Dum nervously said, "Later!" Then they rushes off, making a gallop for it.

"Yeah, I thought you would do that." Starlight remarks with a smirk. Even Boxco and Dum-Dum would know better than to go after numbers that they can't win.

"Hmmm, your mare, huh?" Twilight ask with a frown to Ben, making him embarrassed as he blushes.

"Actually, it's me who should be sorry. I once again let someone else make my decisions instead of listening to my heart, just like the Winter Wrap Disaster."

"Well, at least we learned something here." Sunset said with a small smile. "Listen to your heart when it comes to your love, instead of what others has to say..."

"And never make a mare a trophy." Sunburst remarks as he and Starlight laughs at Boris's punishment.

"So Benny...wanna be my date at the luau?" Twilight ask Ben with a smile as she nuzzles Ben.

"Really? Sure, Twiley, I'd love that." Ben said with a smile. The pairings left the docks, heading over to the luau table. "And here I thought you said I was a pig."

"Oh, not really, Benny. He IS." Flash remarks with a smirk as he points a hoof at Boris...who is now lying on a plate, acting like a suckling pig.

Twilight and Ben laughs in amusement while smirking. Looks like this night ended all so well!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

At the tables, Fluttershy was serving Tree Hugger as she spoke, "Oh. Twilight was sure amazing in that story."

Applejack was passing by the table, frowning upon hearing the comment as she snaps, "Ugh!"

Applejack was heading over to the table where Psychopath Joke and Harley Witch were sitting at. The two is witnessing the mare being upset, making them amused.

"Ooh... Somepony's angry with it." Psychopath teases Applejack, making her frown.

"Ooh. Don't be hard with Mr. PJ. He just want to be your friend since Twilight Sparkle doesn't care about you." Harley Witch giggles to Applejack.

Psychopath Joke sighed while eating a roll off his plate, "Because Twilight Sparkle doesn't respect my jokes. Everypony knows that I'm the best jester around here."

"You said it. And nopony insults my pudding!" Harley Witch exclaims in agreement with her "pudding". "Besides, did Twilight do the same for you? She didn't even show any of your cartoons to everyone. She didn't even let you do some talents for the show."

Applejack pauses to think about it, then looks down while saying, "Well... When you put it that way, can't say you're wrong..."

"I'm always right like not letting me on the stage to host." Psychopath Joke said with a smirk. Looks like he's winning this stubborn cowpony over!

"Nah, I wouldn't be good at it because I'm good at cleaning up the messes. I wouldn't mind doing it if any pony asked me."

Suddenly Twilight came over with a mop and bucket as if on a cue. The mare smiles as she passes the items, speaking, "Really! Thanks, AJ. I knew I can count on you!"

Applejack groaned in annoyance as Twilight trots on off, "Other ponies but her! She purposely do that! I didn't agree to this!"

Psychopath Joke chuckles quietly, "Of course, it works, silly girl! With her on my side, we're gonna humiliate Twilight Sparkle for what she has done to me! We just need to push one more button to make her angry and willing to get some payback on her own best friend. A pony who became Twilight's first best friend is becoming her first worst enemy."

Harley Witch cheered excitedly, "YEAH! Twilight Sparkle's going down for hurting my pudding! She's gonna pay!"

Rainbow flew over to Twilight, smiling as she spoke, "Hey, egghead. You mind like letting AJ take over as the host?"

"Really? I thought you wanted the job. I was planning to give it to you." Twilight said in surprise. She is surprised that Rainbow would suggested that though she wanted to host ever since this place opened up in the first place!

"Well, I can wait. And besides, don't you think you should give Applejack a chance to do something on the show?"

"Well, when you put it that way, I actually never thought of that. After what Applejack has done for me, I should do something for her. Thanks, Rainbow Dash. I'm gonna give her the task to do a host job."

"No problem." Rainbow Dash said, pleased as she flew off to tell Applejack the good news.

"Think about it. Applejack needs to know that Twilight still cares for her as her best friend. If Applejack keep behaving like an angry and jealous pony for the whole night, no way she will think Twilight as her best friend." Rainbow explains to Ben. "Besides, one jealous mare is enough."

Twilight calls Applejack to the backstage area, wanting to speak with her. When the Alicorn told her best friend what she wanted, well, Applejack was in for a surprise.

Twilight nodded as she explains, "That's right after what you have done for me, I thought I’d return you a favor."

Twilight smiles as she patted Applejack on the back, speaking while giving her a cue paper to use, "Just say thank you, PFF."

"And now, Applejack!" Spike exclaims as Applejack begins trotting out onto the stage...

...but yelps as she passes the spotlight completely and fell off the stage. The audience chuckled at that little mishap. No one is aware that Psychopath Joke is holding a bucket of water that he splashed onto the stage recently.

Applejack manages to recover and got back onto the stage and into the spotlight. The mare smiles nervously as she looks for the paper that Twilight gave her. She spoke a bit nervously, "Right, howdy, folks! Our next act is...uh..." Applejack found the paper that she was looking for and begins to read it. "...an old fashioned...show business...spectacular."

At Lyra and Bon-Bon's (Sweetie Drops went back to the name that she was hiding under) table, the Earth Pony looks puzzled as she ask her best friend, "Any idea what that cowpony is even saying?"

"And now..." Without warning, the paper flew from Applejack's hooves, making her yelp and chase it around. "Hey! What 'de hay?!"

Harley Witch snickers as she stood by a huge fan that the villainess has turned on. So far, so good!

Backstage, Ben, Twilight and Rainbow turned around for a brief second as Applejack ran out of their sight to get the paper. When they turned back to watch her, Ben looks puzzled as he ask, "Wait, where's AJ; She didn't finish her bit."

"No idea. Must've got nervous." Twilight remarks with a shrug. "Better start the song."

Back onstage, Spike smiles as he announced, "And next up on Open Mike Night...the Human Shadowbolts!"

Applejack stopped in the middle of the stage, yelping as the human versions of the Shadowbolts appear around her, holding out swords for some reason as they begin poking Applejack, making her yelp as they begin to sing.

Human Shadowbolts: (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic

Some fire ends up onto Applejack, making her yelp as she was caught between the fire and the humans. This made Twilight slaps her forehead in embarrassment and shock.

If we lose, then you're to blame (ah, ah-ah-ah)
They all have used it, maybe abused it (ah-ah-ah)
So then why can't we do the same?
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)

The Human Shadowbolts did a little dance number where they unknowingly poke Applejack with their swords. She yelled in pain while getting caught in the middle of everything.

(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
We're not friends here after all
Our only interest in this business (ah-ah-ah)
Is seeing Canterlot High School fall
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh)

Once the song is over, the Human Shadowbolts did a pose to end their song...which also ended with both Applejack's hat and tail on fire. The audience applauds wildly, unaware of Psychopath Joke blowing the smoke off his hoof, smirking in triumph. This will be done to make Applejack angry, humiliated and upset.

"Is it over?" Human Twilight ask nervously as she hid under the table, making the Human Sunset smirks in amusement of how silly her friend was acting.

Pinkamena was angered, seeing what Psychopath had done. She snaps, "That no good pile of Scum! Not even him or the ugly girl whispering slips through my ears!"

"So what we planning to do?" Golden Heart ask Pinkamena, concerned for what needs to be done here.

"Well I will tell you, it will be a full group plan to teach those two a lesson."

Meanwhile Ben and Rainbow looks worried. The Pegasus pony spoke, "Ben, please tell me that Applejack got herself in the middle of the show and got herself some fire on her tail."

"Really bad now." Rainbow groans as Applejack is recovering, scowling and trying to put herself out. "And once she blamed someone, she will get payback."

"Come on, Rainbow Dash. This is Applejack we're talking about. She would never do that to Twiley." Ben said to Twilight, believing that Applejack would never get ticked off over this incident to Twilight.

Needless to say, Ben was wrong. For as Applejack came backstage, she marched up to a surprised and confused Twilight as she yelled in her face, "You did that on purpose!"

"Did what? What are you-?! Wait!" Twilight yelps as Applejack pushes her in fury. "You're not actually think I would set you up for this."

Applejack however begins storming off as she snaps, "I ain't gonna listen to another liar like you. So, if you don't mind, I've got some job to do! I'm done in listening to you or even get you to make fun of me!"

Phobos notices Applejack's tail still on fire, pointing out, "AJ, your tail's still on fire."

"Phobos!" Spike and Nyx scolds Phobos; that will only make Applejack more upset.

"You'd think I care?! I like it! Now buck off, you vermin!" Applejack snaps furiously at Phobos as she storms off.

The gang looks at each other in worry as Spike spoke, "Wow... I'd never seen her angry since Flim-Flam cheats on everypony about Tonic Cure Drinks."

Once the stage is clean up, Twilight came back on stage a few moments later. She announcer, "All right, everyone! Time for another story! So what type do you wanna see?

"Well, you ask for it and I will give. Of course, it will be a cartoon starring Ben Mare, but I'm in it!"

"Ha!" Applejack scowls, sitting on a bucket of ice she is using to cool the fire down.

"Tell me about it." Psychopath remarks with a frown. Applejack is sitting next to his and Harley Witch's table.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

Ben Mare to the Rescue Finale- Train Tracks

Twilight screams as that evil unicorn jerk Boris has kidnapped her, using a collar to keep her from using magic. From the top of a window of the villain's HQ, the mare calls out, "Benny, help!"

Boris grabs Twilight from behind, gagging her while laughing, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Scream all you want, Twillight. That Earth Pony filth Ben Mare will never rescue you this time! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha-" The villains tops as he sat a sign on his own HQ that said 'THE HIDEOUT OF BORIS THE ANIMAL'. "Oh, and I gotta take down that 'The Animal' sign. Why did they even put it on my house in the first place?"

Boris drags Twilight into his HQ. Sure enough, Ben Mare arrives, frowning at the building while saying, "Hang on, Twiley! I'll save you!"

Ben rushes towards the hideout. After kicking the door down, he saw Twilight tied to the train tracks.

"Right, this one should be easy!" Ben exclaims in determination as he gallops over. The stallion looks at the knot, trying to untie it. "Now, how do I..."

Twilight looks shocked as her love got his hooves tied in the rope. And as if that isn't bad enough, they can hear the train coming via the sound being made. Ben got to hurry!

"I remember it was like this." Ben said as he pushes the ropes down. The hero manages to lift Twilight out of the rope, freeing her. "Well, that's an easy rescue. Boris the Animal got to be slipping!"

The train is heard once more. Twilight gasps, "Come on, Ben!" She grabs Ben by the hoof as the two tries to gallop off...however, Ben yelps as one of his legs got tied up in the progress, much to the mare's annoyance. "Seriously?"

"Oops. Not sure how that happened." Ben said embarrassed. The lovers yelped as they hear the train coming closer. "Come on, hurry! Help me out of this knot!"

Ben and Twilight in a panic worked their best to get the rope untied, only for them to be tied up in various ways. At one point, they are were tied up with two ends of the rope attached to each other like a heart.

"Well, I guess we finally tied the knot." Ben jokes, making Twilight frowns a bit.

Twilight and Ben yelps as they saw the light of the train coming their way. Boris is driving the train laughing in glee. If he can't have Twilight, then no one can! The lovers tries to move in different directions, but failed because of them still tied together. It's over...

That is until Ben spots a train switched nearby. He motions Twilight to follows his lead, making her jump. The two jumped towards the switch as Ben tries to reach for it. Boris meanwhile smirks wickedly as he is getting closer...he is almost there...

But then Ben reached the train switch in time and pulled it, causing the track to be switched. The train barely missed the two, thank Celestia!

"What, seriously?! Why the hay did I even put in a second pair of tracks?!" Boris yells out in annoyance. "Ugh, forget this. May as well get back to Trixie."

As the train passed, Twilight and Ben sighed in relief. The mare spoke, "Well, glad we made it out in one piece."

The two stepped out of the tracks...just as the train zoomed behind them somehow, untangling Twilight and Ben from the ropes, making them sigh in relief. They are freed from being tied up, causing Ben to sigh in relief.

Twilight, smiling, kisses Ben on the lips while saying, "Oh, Ben. Thanks for rescuing me."

"You lose again, Boris the Animal!" Ben calls out to Boris as he and Twilight take their leave.

Both the Cartoon Boris and House of Pony Boris (from the audience) yells out, "It's just Boris!"

And thus, Ben saved his beloved filly, defeated Boris once more. All is well...well, until next time anyway...

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

"Wow, did you see Twilight in that story? She may be a hostage but she is one dedicated princess!" Sonic exclaims to his girlfriend Sally Acorn who laughs a bit.

"I wish Twilight can visit me in my universe sometime." Gingka Hagane from Beyblade spoke up while Kai Hiwatari was drinking his drink.

Applejack has had enough. She has her saddlebags packed while groaning, "Twilight this! Twilight that! Don't ponies loved something more than her?! She's nothing special!"

Psychopath Joke, listening, smirks as she spoke, "I couldn't agree more. What's so special about her? So, what if she gets the Alicorn Magic? It doesn't make her special or great! She's just a piece of crap."

Harley nodded as she remarks, "Yeah! She acted like she's so special and better than anypony else! Can you believe what Twilight did?! She humiliated you in front of everyone on stage! She made fun of you! How rude! How selfish! How cruel! What a liar she really is!"

Applejack groaned, "Don't remind me! Everything I've done for her is for nothing. She done nothing for me either! I sure wish Twilight get the same punishment from what she did to me! She deserve it! Some friend she turned out to be."

"Don't worry, AJ. We're on the same page. Join with me, we'll make sure that princess gets the taste of her own medicine! Harley, now!" Psychopath Joke remarks with a cruel chuckle.

"Hey, princess! You'd think you're funny? How about you compete with my pudding? He's ten times funnier than you are. Do you know why? Because you're too stupid to make one joke!" Harley Witch calls out to Twilight, getting her attention and making the audience 'oooooh' at that. That sounds like a big challenge!

"Thank you, Harley. What do you say, princess? Got 'gutsy' to make Discord's Lame Jokes? Orange gale to see you being make fun of by me?"

Twilight groaned out, time to shut this jerk up, "If you think you're funny, than come and prove it. I would like you to say that in front of my face! And believe me, make me laugh, clown!"

"She fell for it! Payback time!" Harley Witch exclaims to Psychopath Joke with a cruel nod.

"I can't wait to see it." Applejack said with a smirk as she put her bags aside. At least, her so-called friend will get what's coming to her.

It was a few moments later as Twilight coughs a bit. Psychopath Joke is in the center stage, smiling eagerly. The mare spoke to the audience, "Fillies and gentlecolts! Time we hear it for the wit...or in this case HALF-wit of Psychopath Joke!"

The audience applauds, but only because they have no choice as Psychopath takes the microphone to speak into it, Good evening, ladies and morons. Thank you for inviting me to the show. And so we begin, let's start with this - What's with Twilight Sparkle's voice? When she whined, she sounded like Bubbles. When she's angry, she sounded like Raven from Teen Titans. When she's scared, she sounded like whiny Tommy Turner. When she laughed, she's crazy as Harley Quinn. When she freaked out, she sounded like a scaredy Ben 10. Or maybe when she's spoiled, she sounded like that brat Sari Sumdac! And what happens if she lose her voice, she's voiceless!" The Dark Mystic Pony laughed insanely. "And best of all, was she raised by her worrying parents and brother? Coz I can see how resembling they can be when they're in panic mode!"

Needless to say, the audience didn't like that at all. They booed angrily with the Tara Strong characters, booing as well. Twilight frowns a bit while her friends, most of them, scowls and boos angrily. Applejack on the other hoof laughs a bit, that will show her!

Psychopath Joke continues his routine, "There's more. You know what I'm gonna call her? Mrs. Mary Sue while Ben is Gary Sue! Do you know why? They're both related stupid like how could Ben make great friends while Twilight make the worse enemies! Why? She's terrible at it! And that's why she's a Mary Sue!"

The audience boos some more. Luke Skywalker, Woodrow Burns, Firelord Ozai and Joker (Batman version) weren't amuse by the jokes especially Mark Hamill himself.

"That is so wrong. Funny but wrong!" The Joker scowls in annoyance. He may be a bad joke, but even the clown finds that insult to be low.

Mark Hamill nodded in agreement as he remarks, "When I voiced an iconic character, I'd never joke like that so embarrassing and humiliating to my fans or others about how great she is"

Most of the others overheard that and are upset. Apple Bloom exclaims in shock, "I don't believe it! How could she?!"

"What has gotten into her?!" Caramel ask, stunned that his filly would talk like that. "She'd never agreed with this joke about Twilight Sparkle."

"Oh dear." Fluttershy said as she watches Applejack laughs more at the insults towards Twilight. "She's turning into a jealous upset mare."

"Yeah!" The rest of the CMC exclaims in concern. If this keeps up, Applejack may not be liked around here anymore!

"We've gotta snap her out of it." Ben said seriously as he and the others galloped over to Applejack's table.

"Yeah. We'd better." Rainbow said in agreement. Even when the Pegasus like to tease folks, she got limits!

"Applejack, what do you think you're doing?" Rara ask her friend, stunned by her reaction.

"Humiliating Twilight? This isn't like you!" Caramel protests to his fillyfriend while shaking his head in disbeliewf.

Apple Bloom nodded in agreement. She said, "Yeah. You'd never talk bad about Twilight or the things she shouldn't have done. Okay, maybe a few things she did wrong that offend you but still you would never let anyone insult her like she's your sister."

"Right, I mean, how would you like it if Psychopath Joke makes fun of you?" Sweetie ask Applejack with a deep frown.

"It wouldn't be right, that's for sure!" Scootaloo exclaims in agreement. If Psychopath Joke was making mean jokes about Applejack, she wouldn't be laughing!

"Yeah. Right." Applejack remarks, rolling her eyes at this. No way Psychopath Joke would direct his jokes at her!

Suddenly Psychopath Joke smirks as he laughs, "Oh, speaking of Twilight! She ain't that great of a mare! The only reason that Alicorn brat let Applejerk host was so that she could get roasted! Ha ha ha! Roasted Applejack! Get it?!"

Applejack was laughing...until the cowpony realize to her shock that Psychopath Joke was insulting her now! What the hay?!

"What the hay?! What's going on?!" Applejack ask in alarm and confusion. "How dare he turned on me?! I thought we're supposed to take her down together!"

"We are. We're just telling the truth of how bad she can really be-!" Harley laughs a bit, making Applejack more shocked and this time uneasy.

"Shut the buck up, Harley!" Rainbow snaps angrily at Harley. She turns to Applejack to speak, "Still think Twilight would make fun of you? Applejack, we've known her for whole seasons till 6. There is no way she will never make fun of you. She even admitted her mistakes and apologize to you."

"She really meant it when she gave the hosting for you to do." Ben said with a nod, assuring Applejack that Twilight meant what she said about giving her the hosting job.

"In fact, Twilight never do such a thing to you." Rarity said to Applejack gently.

"She didn't?" Applejack ask in surprise. She then begins feeling a bit guilty now.

Apple Bloom hugged Applejack as she explains, "Of course, sis. What kind of friend who would do something stupid to her best friend and the second member of the Mane Six?"

"Unlike these meanies, they just joke for their fun not for ponies' fun." Pinkie remarks, frowning in disappointment by how Psychopath Joke and Harley Quinn was insulting Twilight like that.

"Don't listen to them. They're the real liars!" Harley protests in alarm. If Applejack listened, this whole thing will be over.

Fluttershy kicked Harley's face, much to everyone else's surprise. She snaps, "Shut up, witch; She's annoying.”

"In fact, the Bushwoolies told us that these clowns are the ones who set you up! They want you to humiliate her. They want you to regret it!" Spike explains to Applejack. The cowpony looks stunned and embarrassed. Those creeps were the ones who mess her up before!

"I-I didn't know." Applejack spoke a bit meekly. Perhaps she was wrong to judge Twilight harshly.

"And now, you do. Now ask you this. Are you going to let some clown to insult your best friend?" Rara ask Applejack in determination. Hearing that made the cowpony thoughtful...and upset.

"The hay I would let somepony get away with it. There's no way I'm gonna let a clown to do bad things on her!"

Psychopath Joke kept up the routine, unaware of what's about to happen, "Here's the best part! Who hurts the most? Her friends! Twilight gets the power while her friends don't? That's so selfish and inconsiderate!"

"Oh yeah? What happen to roasted Applejack? Did you get that for breakfast? Ooh... I didn't know you're a cannibal."

"How dare you?!" Psychopath Joke snaps before Twilight could try to charge in and hurt him for that. "Of all the friends, you humiliated and embarrassed Applejack for the entirely of your life! Haven't you hurt her enough?"

Psychopath Joke interrupted Twilight, "I don't want to hear it because in the end, no one is gonna save you because of what you did to Applejack!"

"Hey! Leave Twilight Sparkle alone, you crazy stupid joker!" Applejack exclaims angrily as she storms the stage. "No offense, Joker."

"None taken. Kick that mother-!" The Joker said about to make a bad name causing Mark Hamill and his iconic characters to shushed at him. "Everyone's a critic. Fine. Just kick his butt for ruining me!"

"Well... If it isn't the Joker Jack, wanna do comedy with me?" Psychopath Joke ask Applejack with a smile.

"No, I'm here to kick you out!" Applejack snaps furiously to the Dark Mystic Pony.

"Ooh... What did I do wrong? Make fun of Twilight Sparkle? She's the one who hurt you a lot. I was just doing you a favor, Jackie."

"No, you weren't! I know what's going on. I'm gonna set it right! You can't talk to Twilight Sparkle like that. Cause she's my best friend and sister!"

Psychopath Joke just laughs like a fool hearing a very bad joke, "Ooh! I'm so scared! What you gonna do? Bucking the apples for me? Get honesty out of me? Make me some Apple Cider for me? As if! Don't you know who I am? I'm the crazy psychopath!"

Applejack groaned but stopped while humming, "But you love jokes. Knock! Knock!"

"Ha! Nice try. Like I'm gonna fall for-!" Psychopath Joke laughs as he knows where this joke is heading.

But the villain has no idea where it was coming as Apple Bloom kicks Psychopath Path in the back hard, "Heeyah!"

"Why you little son of-!" Psychopath Joke was about to hurt Apple Bloom but Applejack heads butt him hard. "YEOCH!"

Applejack kicked Psychopath Joke's flank out of the dining room while scowling, "That's for me. This is for Twilight Sparkle and Apple Bloom, you crazy moron!"

Harley Witch, knowing the glares from the rest of Applejack's friends, runs of the room to check on Psychopath Joke. As the two prepare to leave, but they slip on a banana peel that leads to hundreds of ticks and traps made by Pinkamena and her group.

Inside the dining room, everyone applauds and cheers, impressed with how Applejack was able to stand up for Twilight like that. About time someone shut that jerk up!

Applejack took a bow, walking over to Twilight who was watching from backstage. Twilight laughs Applejack, "Applejack, thank you very much. And sorry about the mess. I didn't know you were still-!"

Applejack holds up a hoof to interrupt Twilight as she spoke, "I'm the one who should apologize. I shouldn't have let my jealousy get away because you were honest and good as me. I'm sorry."

"You? Jealous? Throughout the six seasons, I'd never seen you jealous of me or anyone else before. That's something..."

"Like I said from Episode 22 - What about Discord from Season 5, everyone allowed to feel it, even me."

"I'm glad to hear that. How about I make something up? Just for you. And you're gonna love it." Twilight said to Applejack with a smirk,

A bit later, the gang was talking about what happened. They are happy that Applejack has gotten over her jealousy and made up with Twilight.

"Yup, they did. I'm glad my sister doesn't go berserk again." Apple Bloom chuckles in agreement.

"Yeah! Hopefully the next time, Psychopath Joke will sit in his seat and shut up!" Scootaloo remarks, making Sweetie giggle in agreement.

"Thanks, Rainbow Dash. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen." Ben said, thanking Rainbow for her help.

"Yeah, gets a lot of embarrassments and regrets." Rainbow chuckles, rubbing a hoof through her mane. "I learned that from season 1. Just making sure nopony is jealous of Twilight Sparkle."

"Oh darling." Rarity giggles as she poke Rainbow Dash's muzzle. "Because you always get jealous of Twilight Sparkle."

Everyone laughed and even Rainbow Dash who admits, "Yeah. That is really funny."

Back onstage, Twilight smiles as she spoke, "Ponies, I'd like to dedicate this next cartoon to my good friend Applejack! After what she did today, I think the last cartoon of the night should starred her!"

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

AN APPLEJACK CARTOON

Applejack's Failed Fourth

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. Applejack and Caramel arrives to the park for a little picnic...and for the Fourth of July Festivities.

"Well, boy howdy! Time for 'de Fourth of July festivities." Applejack said with a smile. "And we done got here first!"

"Yeah, especially when there's going to be a big fireworks show." Caramel remarks with a chuckle. "AJ, I'm going to find the others and do some things for a while. Why don't you find a spot where we can watch the fireworks and set up the picnic? Once I'm done, I'll be right back!"

"Make sure you find a good spot. You know, a place where we can find the perfect view of the night sky."

"Eeyup!" Applejack exclaims, smiling as Caramel left. "You can count on this honest pony!"

Applejack begins humming "Yankee Doodle" as she looks around. Where will the right spot be at? The mare smiles as she found it. Perfect! Applejack took out a photo of Caramel and kissed.

"Hoo doggy, Caramel will done like it!" Applejack remarks with a smile. "Time to set up the blanket!"

Applejack picks up the blanket and unfurled it. But when she turns around, the mare hears the wind blowing the blanket, causing it to fold back to its current position, making her turn back.

"How the hay?" Applejack ask a bit confused. She picks up the blanket and waves it up so it will be flat on the ground. "All right, where were we?"

Without warning, the wind blew the blanket back to its folded position. Applejack frowns as she licks her hoof and held it up. Darn Pegasus ponies!

Applejack turns, growling as she screams. The mare rushes over to the blanket to jump onto it, trying to hold the thing down. As if for no reason, the blanket itself somehow came to life, twisted a corner of itself and whipped Applejack in the flank.

"UGH!" Applejack yells out as she jumps up, causing the wind to fold the blanket back up just as she fell on it.

Applejack snorts in fury...then screams as she tries to fold the blanket downward, only to end up trapped in the blanket in various ways, including getting tied up, having her body being pointed in ways, and ended up finding a way to clone herself like Pinkie to a Mirror Pool.

Soon it came to the point where Applejack messed around with the blanket so much that it went flying into the air. The cowpony breaths in just as the blanket fell right onto her head.

Applejack, frowning, puts the blanket down. She remarks, "Okay. So this is what it feels like dealing with stubborn objects? Rainbow Dash must have a hard time to do it...."

Applejack rushes off, coming back to iron the blanket, then uses a staple gun to staple the blanket down. The mare drove a Zamboni onto the blanket to keep it down. Now the cowpony came back with various items like a big chunk of ice, an anchor, the kitchen sink and an according, putting them onto each corner of the blanket. Now Applejack pushed a huge rock. Hopefully this will keep that blanket down!

"There, it's flattened enough! Teach you to mess with this pony!" Applejack exclaims, smirking in triumph as she turns around. Looks like the Element of Honesty has won.

That is until, without explanation, the wind somehow blew all the objects that Applejack put onto the blanket right off, causing them to hit the mare onto the head, especially the kitchen sink that got stuck on Applejack...and the rock which squashed her flat.

Applejack got out from under the rock, growling. She storms over to the folded blanket and jumped up and down, attacking the folded blanket a bit. She gave a glare at it before the blanket unfolded itself, becoming flat.

"Much better..." Applkejack said with a smirk as she turns around...only for the blanket itself to whipped her once more, causing Applejack to turn and growled at the blanket. "Oh! You gotta have the last word, did you?!"

Applejack took this moment to calm down just as Caramel came back. He spoke, "Hey Aj! Just came back to check up on you. Everything's okay?"

"Sure, right...everything's under control here...granted I done ran into a bit of trouble but I took care of it. Eeyup!"

"Great! Well, I will leave you to set everything up. See you later!" Caramel exclaims, smiling as he took his leave so that Applejack can get back to setting things up.

Applejack waves goodbye. Now for the chairs! She took one out and begins to unfold it. Now for the other...

"Darn stupid chair!" Applejack growls as she picks up the chair and tries to open it back up. But of course, the mare ended up getting trapped in the chair numerous times. But soon she got it right. "Okay! Now for the other chair!"

Of course, as Applejack goes over to the other chair and unfolds it, the first one fold right back, much to her annoyance. She snaps, "What the hay?!"

Applejack goes back to the first chair to unfold it, only for the second one to fold back up. She groans as the mare gallops back and forth to the unfolding and folding chairs...until they combined to make a galloping horse, Applejack yelps as she rides the thing all over the park.

Applejack kept on this crazy chair horses ride around the park, hitting her head on a few trees. She even won a horse race with them at one point. Okay, it's confusing how she got there from the park; bear with it! Eventually, Applejack and the chairs came back before returning to normal, knocking the cowpony right off.

A few moments later, Applejack arrives with the picnic basket and opens it up, pulling out a few plates. She spoke, "All right, time to put these plates all over the picnic area."

Applejack took the plates...but snuck over carefully as she put the chairs right onto the chairs. The mare flinched, every time, something off and stubborn happens. Of course, when it didn't, Applejack smiles, going back to poured glasses of pink lemonade. Nothing wrong with pink lemonade.

Applejack came back, carefully sneaking over to the blanket to put the glasses right next to the chairs. The mare jumps back and flinch, preparing for the worse. Of course, nothing happens again. Looks like the worst is finally over.

Quickly, Applejack went over to set the picnic up. She smiles while speaking while turning around, "Now that's done perfect! Nothing can go wrong..."

However, without warning, the wind blew the open picnic basket door down, making a loud slam. Applejack in worry turns back in time to see the chairs closing and the blanket folding back, knocking all the foods and items back, sending them flying. One of the items hit Applejack in the face, causing her to fell right into the deep picnic basket.

As if impossible except in Pinkie sense, there seems to be stairs in there as we can hear Applejack falling down them. Hoofsteps are heard, as well as a few opening doors and a screaming filly (don't ask) before Applejack came out, growling in fury. She has had enough of this!

"GOSH DARN IT!!!!" Applejack yells out furiously to the high heaven. "ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE A ROMANTIC MOMENT WITH MY COLT FRIEND! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?! LEAVE ME ALONE, FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA!!!!!"

As if the universe can hear him, everything was set back to the way it was and before it was ruined, the torches lit up with night falling upon the area. Applejack stares, smiling in amazement.

A few moments later, Caramel came back, looking at the picnic area. He spoke, "Wow, I'm amazed, AJ! That's a very romantic place to watch the fireworks! You must've gone through a lot of trouble!"

"Well, a bit of not too much." Applejack chuckles as the two ponies goes over to the chairs, sitting down. "But other than that, none at all."

The lovers prepares to hold hoof...but then heard the whistling of fireworks. Applejack and Caramel blinks as they look around, where are the fireworks? The two turns around and realizes that the show is being held behind them!

"Hoo boy, AJ. I think you had us facing the wrong way." Caramel said, making Applejack sighs before looking down.

"Awww, horse apples. I done messed up. Sorry." Applejack said with a sigh. Caramel however hold her chin up, smiling.

"Actually, I like the view from here." Caramel said as he points to the sky. "It's a nice full moon that Princess Luna put out tonight."

Applejack can only pause to think, smiling as she and Caramel held hooves. Despite the mare almost losing it a couple of times, it was a pretty good night after all.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Applejack finds herself being more appreciated than ever. Over at the tables, the cowpony was being mobbed by Brian and Dexter, the former hugs her while saying, "Wow! You were awesome in that story, AJ! Having a date with Caramel and watching the fireworks with him. Pretty cool."

Dexter hugs Applejack while saying, "Uh, can you tell us your secret...that is if you don't mind."

Applejack was about to respond but Ben grabbed him as he spoke, "Hey, need some advice here, AJ."

"Applejack, I need your help!" Pinkie exclaims as she grabs Applejack and starts to drag her off. "I got an emergency in the kitchen!"

Applejack was almost grabbed further until Rarity, Rainbow and Caramel pulls her near the entrance to the kitchen. The unicorn smiles as she spoke, "See, AJ? We told you that you were imagining things."

"Yeah! Everypony loves Twilight, that's true, but folks love you too!" Rainbow remarks with a smile.

"So do I," Caramel said as he kisses Applejack on the lips, making her blush a bit.

"Shucks, thanks...listen, Twilight and I got one more stuff to make up for the mess." Applejack said with a smile as she gallops off. Looks like there is one more performance.

"And now, ponies, AJ and I got one little song left to sing." Twilight said, smiling as her friend joins her on stage. A familiar song begins to play as they sing.

Both: I'm here to show you who I am
Throw off the veil, it's finally time
There's more to me than glitz and glam, oh-whoa
And now I feel my stars align

For I had believed what I was sold
I did all the things that I was told
But all that has changed, and now I'm bold
'Cause I know

That I am just a pony
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line

And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just like the magic inside of you

And now I see those colors
Right before my eyes
I hear my voice so clearly
And I know that it is right

They thought I was weak, but I am strong
They sold me the world, but they were wrong
And now that I'm back, I still belong
'Cause I know

That I am just a pony
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line

And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just like the magic inside of you

Once the song is over, the audience applauds as the two both hugged and nuzzled each other like sisters.

"...Applejack! Farmer since she was a filly, and Mane Six member since Season One!"

We see a poster of Applejack in her role as Smart Cookie in the Hearth's Warming Eve play.

We see a poster of Applejack in a kimino as if parodying the Disney movie Mulan.

We see the Mane Six in Power Ponies outfit, going after the evil Mane-iac, before still ends with us going back to the smiling Applejack.

"Applejack, the honest cowpony for the whole family!" The still goes back to the Smart Cookie poster as Spike spoke in a low voice, "Caution: Actor prone to being stubborn, competitive nature and may end up bucking people with her feet."

The folks applauded as Twilight spoke to the audience, "Yeah, before we go, one question: what's the deal with Psychopath Joke."

"Hey, get your own stuff!" Psychopath Joke, his snout all bandaged up, snaps as he marches up to Twilight in annoyance by her “stealing” his material. "Ugh! I'm out of here!"

Psychopath Joke prepares to leave angrily ...but fell right into a plot hole left in the floor by Pinkamena who giggles like mad.

Applejack commented as she joins her friend on stage, "Somepony can't even take a joke. What a poor Joker. No offense, Joker."

The two ponies waved to the audience onstage as both of them say at the same time, "See you next time!"
