The End

The End

Applejack awoke with such a start that she tumbled out of bed, Kicks McGee tangling in the sheet so that she dangled onto the floor. Cold sweat ran down her face as she shook and focused on just breathing.

"Only a dream," she whispered to herself. "Only a dream."

With some effort, she untangled her leg from the sheet and scooted to the door. The swimming of her vision suggested that walking would not be the greatest idea. She crawled the short distance down the hallway to the bathroom, whereupon she emptied her stomach into the toilet.

She groaned. "Never again." Her voice was like steel wool scratching at a pot of thick sludge. "Never ever again, I don't care what Rainbow Dash s--"

The toilet got a second helping.

After she found the strength to stand, the roiling in her stomach quelling to tolerable levels, she cleaned herself up. The mirror showed dark circles under her eyes. Her mane was bedraggled, more than simple bedhead would account for. She smacked her lips, then ran her face under the tap once more for good measure.

Her headache had momentarily dissipated, but she was feeling worn out. Listlessly, she dragged herself back into her room, every creak of the floorboards causing her to wince. The last thing she needed was Big Macintosh or Granny Smith seeing her this way.

"Never, ever again," she whispered.

Clambering back into bed, she wrapped herself in the sheets and shivered against the form of the other pony, still asleep.

"It was so creepy," she mumbled. "There was explosions... And giant robots... And my friends were there, and me, 'cept most of us was colts..." She shivered again. "Maybe it was some kinda premonition? Or maybe repressed guilt over my parents? Twilight's always talkin' about stuff like that..." She closed her eyes. "What d'you think?"

The form beside her stirred.

"Trixie is not paying you to talk," she groaned. "Go back to sleep."

Author's Note:

Well, that was something.

This story was incepted when my friend and I got started talking about seriously I have no idea, but "applebucking on motorcycles" entered the conversation and my mind immediately went to Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Or at least, what I know of Yu-Gi-Oh GX from watching the Abridged Series. The crossovers with Pokemon, Digimon, regular Yu-Gi-Oh and Transformers Armada came naturally from that.

Yeah, you heard right. Transformers Armada. Flutter Sheila is a pastiche of the standard sassy girl character and Pedro Pie is a combination of the fat kid and the horrible racial stereotype known as Carlos. So if he made you feel uncomfortable at all, just try watching the show sometime.

I don't think I have anything else to say. Thanks for sticking this out and I hope you had as much fun reading it as I had writing it. :D

This story is so disturbing because you know it's the truth.

Honestly, I would expect Applejack to be the one to transcend the generations. After all, she's done it before. A line from Hasbro and Hub about parts of the fandom still being butthurt about Twilacorn wouldn't have been out of place, either.

Or is chapter 3 actually G6? :ajsmug:

Okay, that was just great! :yay:

Well done, good sir. :moustache:

Haha, I just realized I forgot the most important part of this story! Last line of chapter 2!

Gotta be careful with that. Going on vacation is no laughing matter. :B

I've never before:

Understood the "Random" tag.

But now I do! :pinkiehappy:

This isn't funny, it's just what normally happens in Ponyopolis. And the first part is sad, Canterlot is falling down! And the last chapter is just unfortunate. Nope, no comedy here. :B

Oh lord, Trixiejack! :ajsmug: :trixieshiftleft:

That first chapter almost made me sad, and then I read the other chapters and felt like smiling again. So... was Twilight being taken to the reboot another part of Applejack's dream, then? She must be pretty imaginative for that to make it in.

Good, good... Let the poni flow through you...

...Well then. :rainbowlaugh:

I am literally in love with speculating on what future generations will be like, so this was a fun story - particularly the first chapter, but the other two were good as well. :twilightsmile:

I am glad someone appreciated this. :D

5115952 Indeed. :twilightsmile:

...It also kind of inspired me, in beautiful, terrible ways: Link

You picked this for me to start my reviews with first on purpose, didn't you?

What the hell have I gotten myself into?

"Killda!" I scream to the sky. "You made my parents go on vacation! I'll make you go on vacation! Forever!"

I laughed harder at that line then I had any right to.

The part with the Fluttershy analogue summoning monster was brilliant, by the way. I can honestly see a bunch of corporate executives sitting down at a table to ask themselves "what do the kids today love?" and "how can we combine these things into a winning combination?"

Yes

YES

THIS GUY GETS IT

Also, that line is probably my favorite in the whole thing. :D

Gaze not into the abyss, young Apple, for it gladly shall consume thee whole. Leave such matters in the hooves of those who chose to surrender their sanity.

In all seriousness, this was by turns touching, discomforting, and enjoyably ridiculous. Especially since I can see it happening all too easily. Heck, My Little Pony has something of a track record in that regard, given how G1 went...
