The Magical Crop

Fall and harvest time rolled around once more. Discord again helped the Apple family with the harvest and with the making of cider and baked goods. The eagerly awaited magic apples were harvested along with the others.

The apples came in an assortment of colors. There were lovely lavender apples, heavenly heliotrope apples, beautiful turquoise apples, divine apples which sparkled like diamonds and quartz crystals, rainbow-colored apples, and, of course, the ordinary red, green and yellow apples that everyone loved.

Discord decided that it was best if he tasted the unusual apples first to make sure that they were good enough for others to eat.

“Sometimes a thing can be pretty on the outside, but awful on the inside,” he reasoned.

Fortunately, all of the apples were delicious, though the magic apples did taste somewhat different than the ordinary apples. The lavender apples had a lavender flavor, and Rarity thought that their juice might be suitable for creating a new line of perfume. The heliotrope apples tasted a bit like candied violets, while the turquoise apples tasted like cotton candy or jellybeans.

The diamond apples tasted like flavored sugar sprinkles, and it was decided that they would be best used blended with other apples as an enhancer for the desserts. The rainbow apples were a fun novelty, having a different flavor for each colored stripe.

The Apple family was not angry with Discord for his experiment, but it was agreed that the ordinary apples should make up the bulk of the harvest. Thus, the Apples learned that sometimes trying new things resulted in positive changes, while Discord learned that the best things are not always the most impressive to look at, and that he should always ask before casting spells on things that belong to others.

I wish you luck in your future writing. :scootangel:

That was cute. :) Do you think you'll end up doing more of this but with other characters and Discord?

Good, but make your future stories longer. Don't just stuff the story with crap though. I liked it. ^_^

3864790 I like working with Discord, and have just done another story involving him. :-)

3879892 Stories within the 1000-2000 word range seem to work best for me with this genre. I actually tried to do the NaPoWriMo challenge last year but ended up being unable to finish it due to literal flooding in the area where I live. I might try again this year.

3865641 Hope you enjoyed it if you go a chance to look it over!

3863377 Thank you kindly. :heart:

Before I read, I just had to say. if your story is only 2000 or less, keep it in one chapter. I mean really time jump work just fine for transitions.
