Unfortunate Applejack: Market Day

It was an absolutely perfect, sunny day in Ponyville. Perfect for selling apples, that is, and selling apples is exactly what Applejack aimed to do. With practiced precision, she finished making a neat stack of shiny, red delicious apples on the counter of her stand in the Ponyville market.

From above, a bird pooped on the topmost one.

With a huff of irritation, Applejack removed the sullied apple from the stack — she’d wash it later — and replaced it with a fresh one, and gave her stack of apples a happy nod.

From above, a bird pooped on the topmost one.

With an annoyed growl, Applejack removed the sullied apple from the stack — she checked above; no more birds — and replaced it — she checked above again; still no birds — replaced it with a fresh one, and gave — she checked above one more time; still no birds — and gave her stack of apples a happy nod.

From above, her sign fell and beaned her right on the head.

Author's Note:

And we have another serial. But why pick on poor Applejack?

Because out of all six of them, she's probably the hardest working and the least deserving of extreme misfortune.

I was expecting griffon instead of bird, but a sign works, too

She has barely any lines on the show because she's not on the show, hon. She's an OC of user Crystal Wishes. I was sure I said this in the author's note for one of these chapters.

I sometimes write fan fiction of other fan fiction, you see, kind of like how I made an oblique reference to you being a "pony worth following" in Rarity's Live-In Changeling Assistant.

And that's just how life works.

BTW, cannot wait for that story that you have planned... Super worried, but can't wait.

I fuckin' did!

I'm also slightly upset that you seem surprised by this. What have I ever done to give you the impression that I am even slightly normal?
