After awaking from the hospital, Applejack discovers that she can't even look at apples without nearly losing her lunch! The timing couldn't be any worse either, considering the large event the entire Apple Family is holding at Sweet Apple Acres in three days. Can Twilight help get Applejack over her issue before the event begins?

Update, May 11: Published the re-written chapter 2! Left certain parts out, put a few new parts in; it's more or less the same, but I'd like to think that I've ironed out the wrinkles enough to start up the final chapter!

Holy...No comments?!?!?!

Here lemme fix that. :rainbowwild:

Wow you took your time on this one. keep going. I like your writing.

Hello everypony! Stalin and co. are here, bringing yet another installation of Stalinview!
We remind you, that stalinview is our real-time thoughts about the story.

i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png All right, let's dig into "Darn it, Pavlov!" by DeltaMelon!
-------------------------------------



"The voice on her right was apparently poking her with a hoof."
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Seriously, Rainbow! What if your hoof in infected? Celestia knows where tou've been walking

"“Oh thank goodness!” Rainbow said, throwing her arms around the farmer in joy."
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Whoa! Whoa! Rainbow! There are people watching!
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Misha loves hugs too! *hic* C'mon, boss! Let's hug!
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png GET OFF ME!
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Awwww....

“We didn’t even know, at first,” Twilight replied, “But after we rushed you here to the hospital, the doctor told us that it was apparently food poisoning.”
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png This all reminds Stalin of awesome little story "Reading rainbow". Premase there was something like this, but with Twilight instead.

"Aromatic apple pancakes"
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Is it even possible? Maybe pancakes with apple jam, not apple pancakes?
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png There are chocolate and strawberry pancakes out there, so i guess there apple ones as well
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Misha loves pancakes!

"And unfortunately for the nurse standing right next to Applejack’s bed, the nausea won the second round with the apple-farmer, and spilled out all over the poor nurse’s front."
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Itis only possible if nurse was a few inches away.
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Or if AJ can shoot liquid like a bullets!
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Applejack used Vomit gun! It's super effective!
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png ...You're disgusting...

"Unfortunately, your body is under the impression now that it’s apples that will cause such a sickness, not some germ. As such, when you try to eat an apple, your body will try to counteract what it believes is something that’ll make you sick by inducing vomiting.”
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Well, it's possible to happen, but unlikely. Classical conditioning on the food often happens in childhood or after tasting NEW food to organism. AJ here ate apples all her life, so...
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Who cares? Just keep up with review!
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Boss, arent you have this classical.... thing too?
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Whadda ya mean?
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Remember i gave you yummy roast bees? You didnt liked them!
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Don't mention it... *gulp*

"I actually have the same problem with macaroni and cheese"
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Who poisoned your macaroni and cheese, Twilight?
i40.tinypic.com/e8pnow.png Me! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png ...Get outta here!

"The simple piece of printer paper"
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png I didn't know that ponies have printers
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Well, duh! How do you think they'll make all ttat journal covers from "Green isn't your color"?
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png There was possibilities before printer was invented.

"The pink earth-pony held up the same golden delicious apple from before, and when Applejack turned and looked at it, she started to dry-heave."
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Is there really no psychologist pony in whole Ponyville?
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Duh, if Pinkie doesn't know one, there are none.

“No, silly filly,” Pinkie teased, “It’s a scratch-and-sniff sticker!”
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Where did she get those? What are they for?
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png It's Pinkie, boss.
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Oh, right

"proceeded to scratch it"
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Emm, how? How scratch sticker work in ponyverse? Do you have to put it on the floor and "scratch" with hoof?

"Pinkie blew another hard breeze into Applejack’s face from the ‘mystery object’ under the tablecloth, and the smell made Applejack dry-heave to the floor, prompting a hasty “OUTOUTOUT” by Rarity."
i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Why won't you bring bucket with you?

i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png Ok, that wraps up this chapter

OVERVIEW:

i39.tinypic.com/2lieddy.png This is a fun little everyday story we have here! If not vomitting, it could've even be a scenario for an episode.
i39.tinypic.com/2qdn0ag.png Yea, it is AWESOME *hic* Applejack's personality is shown perfectly, Twilight's shown fine as well!
i39.tinypic.com/o56alt.png Keep the good work!

And then they failed. Applejack reverted. She eventually took up the job of hauling diamonds around for Rarity. The Apple Family never saw her again - primarily because everytime she saw one of their cutie marks... :pinkiecrazy:

369752 Can I please just mention that you are a legend.

I'VE BEEN COMMANDED TO DANCE

HALP

I HAVE TWO LEFT FEET

Ok, let us not flood here anymore. This comments are suppose to be about this awesome story! Sory autor for offtopic

369792
позволяет
But i will perform a dance from my native MIAMI!
*Does the Macarena* (I love stereotyping even myself.)

Aweshum! The story's so descriptive I can hear the character's voices in my head.
...
...Wait. I-is that a bad thing? Am I possessed by ponies? :twilightoops: :applejackunsure:

>mfw I come home to see that almost all of my story's comments are about soviet russia
:trixieshiftright:
EDIT: for the sake of other people, I'm deleting a majority of the off-topic comments now.

I don't mind your real-time analysis (I actually found your thoughts somewhat insightful for future reference) but perhaps you could make the images you use smaller? That comment takes up a lot of the page's space, perhaps for the future you could use faces the size of the fimfiction emoticons? (i.e. --> :ajsmug:)

I had this problem with eggs. I got over it much the same way as they are doing with Applejack here. Baby steps. Very good work! Tracked and liked!

:twilightsmile:

Classical conditioning huh...What do ya know? The part that got me hooked, was the fact that I have the same problem with cupcakes...though I'm sure everypony here can guess why.:pinkiecrazy:

*shudders* OH gawd. eeyup. Nausea still happens....Buck.

369443 I have a feeling that your comments are going to be the best thing that's happened to FIM... oh, and the story was good too.:pinkiecrazy:

Nice, I like this idea, as horribly cruel to Applejack as it is. I wait patiently and happily for the next chapter!

I can relate, Applejack.

I managed to snag a 24-hour stomach virus right after a dinner of my beloved chicken Fillyadelphia(chicken breast with crab meat, mini shrimp, cream cheese and mozzerella baked on top).
That was four months ago and the smell still makes me a bit queasy.

I believe the concept of this story comes from that bizarre Applejack tumblr, albeit not nearly as dark.

Anyway, so far so good, although It seems that the story is going too fast, and its too reliant on dialogue with little descriptions and/or exposition.

Still, I'm going to to keep and eye out, see how it goes.

369443 did you say you liked reading rainbow? I didn't like it a whole lot really it seemed like an OK book but things just happened for ridiculous reasons. Like when they broke up instead of trying to fix things the first thought was "I'm going to go jump off a cliff!"but I'm sure that's going to fix her rather minor problem

In Soviet Russia book read you!

Sorry I had to

Back to story at hand it seems to be good so far so I will track to c where it goes :twilightsmile:

Ooh, had that happen with some bad glazed peanuts. Years ago. Even thinking of them makes me feel *bleah*.

370909
I was actually thinking the same thing. That said, it's always fun to see Twilight Sparkle: Puh-sie-kiatrist at work!

Huh... you know, I'm the same way with Enchiladas...

Hey, I can actually relate to Twilight's problem :twilightblush: anyway, great story so far. It was a captivating read, and I'm definitely tracking it :ajsmug:

Pinkie pie seemed a bit too intelligent and spoke a little bit like a robot. Thats the only problem i could find in it. good story and i want to see the next chap sometime soon :ajsmug:

Funny I was studing for my psychology class right before I logged on, then I saw the title and had to read. Food aversion is called the 'garcia effect' i think... Probably should study some more. :facehoof:

I don't know if the title is a TFS reference, but the story was nice none the less.

Make episode with same concept in mind. I demand it now. :moustache:

371911

Cheese Quesadillas are, actually, part of my personal 4 food groups XD
I just can't eat Enchiladas.

Funny vid by the way :rainbowlaugh: Dr. Tran is a bawss.

That's possible, but there are some characters in Stalinview series, which are problematic to make only emoticon of.
These, for example;
i42.tinypic.com/10giwps.png i40.tinypic.com/e8pnow.jpg
But i'll keep that in mind. I think i have an idea how to do it 20% cooler

Woooo! Finally a GOOD fic with no shipping (hate that stuff)

I'm tracking this for the story and the comments.:trollestia:

Wow....you'd think there wouldn't be anything left to vomit up after all that lol

OH GOD PAVLOV TOO MANY MEMORIES OF PSYCHOLOGY :pinkiesick:

Good story. As soon as I saw the title, I thought, "Now this guy has a sense of wit, let's read it!" And it was good. Thank you sir/madam!

I wish I could do this on myself. Problem is my effect only happens if I eat it. And I don't know if it's a psychological aversion or a physical allergy.

I like it! Though there are a few grammatical mistakes here and there. That doesn't matter! Who needs grammar anyways? :rainbowwild:

Augh! A fate worse than death for Applejack! :applecry:

Phew reading this reminds me of how happy i am that ive never found any foods im allergic to :trollestia:

PEARS > APPLES

PEACHES > APPLES

Suck it, AJ! *smiles*

rehabilitating Applejack’s unconsciousness be a challenge

Is that meant to be subconscious :unsuresweetie:

I really want to see how this goes! TRACK WATCH LIKE!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH! THREE POINTS FOR MISTER AUTHOR HERE!!! :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy: Wait... and A FAVE! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! FOUR POINTS FOR DELTAMELON! WOO!!! :ajsmug::derpytongue2::pinkiehappy::rainbowwild::raritystarry::scootangel::twilightsmile::twistnerd::yay::trollestia::eeyup:

Good story though, bro.

369443 I come for the story, but stay just to read your review.
I want to see where this is going. Tracked.

after reading this and having had food poisoning before, i'm glad i never found out what caused it :pinkiesick: i'd hate to've risked something like this happening.

poor applejack, thats gotta be rough
