It was a calm day, a light breeze was blowing through; a fine day, It was a warm breeze the sort that tingles against your skin and makes you feel warm at heart, The Cakes were baking and the smell drifted through the air a smooth aroma of cinamon and sugar. The sun is heading over to the east about two hours past midday, It was an uplifting sight for anypony to see
Pinkie was walking around on a kindly stroll browsing the stalls of the market lifting up each individual item she found examining it, even if it looked perfect. She then trotted over to Applejack's stall for apples.
Heya Applejack!" Pinkie-pie exclaimed.
"Howdy Pinkie, what brings you here ?" Applejack Asked.
"Just thought I would come say hi!" She replied happily.
"Well fancy that, an earth pony thinking!" Scoffed an unfamiliar unicorn in the distance.
"And what's that s'posed to mean par'ner?" Asked an Insulted Applejack.
"Oh how typical, The cowgirl doesn't know what we mean; big surprise 'Par'ner'.”
"Hey that's not very nice! You should watch what you say!" Blurted Pinkie.
"Oh here we go..." Continued the unicorn.
"Now listen 'ere. Jus' who do y' think y' are?" Inquired Applejack.
"Oh sorry, I forgot you were a lowly earth pony, I'm Fancypants" He replied.
"Hey Fancypants what's going on?" Asked the Pegasus who had just landed there next to him.
" Earth pony riff raff" He replied with a scoff
"Why are you even talking to them?" The Pegasus asked, curious about the situation.
"The pink one had claimed to have thought..." He said with a smirk on his face.
"Wait, what? Are you serious?" The Pegasus burst into fake laughter.
"Now wait just a second mister! You're not being nice! You're being mean! You're being double mean!" Exclaimed Pinkie pie, rather infuriated at the ponies in front of her.
"Now you listen ere! I may not be the smartest pony out there-" Said Applejack, before getting cut off mid sentence.
"Well of course you're not smart, you're an Earth pony! The underdogs of the Equestria! We can move the sun and stars! And what can you do, grow apples? I'm pretty sure I can do that too." The large Unicorn scoffed.
"As I was saying, I may not be the smartest pony out here but I can tell when your just being plain mean." Said Applejack calmly.
"What? I'm not being mean." He scoffed again "I'm just stating the obvious" He continued
"Racist prick." Applejack muttered under her breath.
"I'm sorry but I didn't quite catch that." Said Fancypants with a nasty smile on his face.
"I think she's trying to insult us Fancy." Added the Pegasus
"I'm not sure, but there is a chance I didn't quite catch what she said.” The Unicorn turned to Applejack. “ Would you mind repeating yourself?"
Just then, something moved from behind the counter. A large red mass seemed to be rather angry; Big Macintosh was not amused. He walked over to Applejack and stood there, towering over Fancypants. Fancypants looked up at the large Stallion. Big Macintosh was quite intimidating.
"You want to know what mah sister said?" Big Macintosh growled
"Y-Yes please do tell." Fancy said slightly stuttering, trying to keep up his appearance of importance.
"She said that YOU'RE A RACIST PRICK!" Screamed Big Mac, startling Fancypants.
"NOW I WANT YOU TO REPEAT EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID TO MAH SISTER TO ME!" Big Mac continued to scream at the Unicorn.
"Oi! back off!" The Pegasus interrupted. Big Mac glared at the Pegasus and he instantly became quiet.
"Well?" Said Big Mac.
"I-I....ugh.....um said there ummmm-" Fancypants was Quivering.
"Spit it out!" Said Big Mac.
"I-I-I.........." He continued, his pride shattered.
"Wait I'll do it for you, you arrogant piece of s-" Big Mac cut himself off and bit his lip. He wasn't going to lower himself to this Unicorn's standards again.
"You thought you could be racist to mah little sister, and nopony would come out and protect her from two cowards such as yourselves! Leave before ah' snap that 'horn' coming out of your head with mah hind legs!" Big Mac lowered his head, meeting Fancypants at eye level. Fancypants took his warning and ran. Upon seeing the Unicorn depart, the Pegasus did not need to wait around for Big Mac's fury and bolted before anything more could be said.
Applejack stood there, shocked and unsure of how to respond to what Big Macintosh had just said. She looked past the apple stand where Big Mac had been napping and saw Pinkie, her hair completely deflated and she was crying. Once again to her surprise, Big Mac was the first one to speak with whole sentences, not just the trademark 'Eeyup'.
"Pinkie-Pie. It's okay. He's a horrible pony who shouldn't say those things to us. I'm pretty sure after the show I just put on he won't be saying those things for a while." Said Big Mac, trying to reassure her.
"B-but that's not the first time Somepony has said mean things to me..." Tears began to form in her eyes.
"Now listen Pinkie. Some ponies these days are just plain horrible. They show no feeling towards us and it ain't right.” He chuckled to himself. “This is probably the first time you've ever really seen me get angry isn't it? Well that's 'cause I had the same issue when I was just a colt, and ah know it's horrible! If any Unicorn or Pegasus gives you any trouble, let me know okay?" He finished.
"O-okay" Said Pinkie with a small smile on her face.
"Pinkie ah wish I could explain more but it jus' aint right! Ponies shouldn't be like this to one another, what would princess Celestia think of all this?" Applejack joined in.
"I don't know, she's everything, so she cant really be spoken to like that anyway. But I guess she wouldn't like it at all." Said Pinkie. Applejack was trying her hardest trying not to cry. It would only make matters worse, but tears started welling up in her eyes at the thought of other ponies joining in with Fancypants, shouting and insulting them because they were Earth ponies.
"Applejack, It's okay I know how you feel." Said Big Mac.
"I jus'...” She paused. “I can't understand why somepony would be like that, it's absolutely horrible.” She looked up at Big Mac with a confused expression on her face.
"Ah think it would just be best if we forgot about it an' finished selling our apples." Suggested Big Mac.
End Chapter One
P.S. This is only the beginning there is more to the story. AND MCYAV IS AWESOME! (Thank you for editing this )
It got approved Seems like you got another good idea, you just need it refining again
591032 would you like to?? it would be mighty helpful :)
591040 Of course I can edit for you! It'd be my pleasure!
Well, Lauren Faust once stated that Earth Ponies had a special connection to nature and animals, so I guess it makes it easier for them to farm and breed animals or whatever, but that's probably not the greatest thing to have if you're a pony.
591169 bbsimg.ngfiles.com/1/13603000/ngbbs46bbf5b881c7c.gif but look at the abilities of Pegasi and Unicorns compared to those abilities of the earth ponies. Im sure a unicorn could do this to same and talk to animals with a spell. With pegasi and nature you need rain and sunshine for nature dont you?
i like the story can wait to see where this goes not to mention though earth ponies are probaly stronger
591182 Earth Ponies do all the farming and physical labor, they even got an episode showing the founding of Equestria, in which the Earth Ponies produced the food, and the other races relied on them for food. On the other hand, Flim and Flam created a machine for creating Cider, so I guess the whole "Earth Ponies are the only ones who make food" thing is out. Perhaps Earth Ponies are just stronger than the other races, but that wouldn't explain Rainbow Dash beating Apple Jack in a Hoof Wrestling contest. So, that only leaves one thing. Defying logic. Pinkie Pie, being able to destroy any form of logic, and the fact that she worked on a rock FARM, a rock farm, her family produced rocks. Apple Jack being able to have her freckles removed in certain frames, and have them instantly returned in the following scene is another example of logical destruction. But really, Earth Ponies don't really have anything that other races don't. Maybe Earth Ponies have a secret, untapped trait.
591289 I must say that pinkie has pinkie pie powers, remember that time when pinkie yelled FOREVER? she was able to fit into a bucket of sponges......
Now this is something I would like to see in a episode! 'The Hidden power of the Earth ponys' !
The OC of people are mainly pegasus and unicorns (mine would be a pegasus ) , it is rare and difficult to find someone willing to do without problems or regret a OC earth pony instead of a Pegasus or Unicorn.
Big mac was all like:

>Earth ponies have only farming ability
Well considering they apparently grow something like 99% of all food in Equestia, any war is going to be rather short and rather decisively in their favor, since it doesn't matter how awesome you are at magic or flying, you still need to eat.
A very interesting story. I think all of you are right...and a war against Pinkie Pie? For all we know she is gonna go Cupcakes on everyone.
591289 Well, Flim and Flam may have made the Cider, but /someone/ had to grow the apples, haha.
cool, but fancypance didn't really seem like the racist type, I SHALL WATCH YOU CLOSLY
Poor Earth ponies, being discrimiated against like that.
592997 Yes, I had to pick a fancy person who is against all none productivity so why not Fancypants"?
593572 I know it's horrible!
I like your idea reminds me of something i am working on. Though production on mine is really slow.
This looks interesting. I'll keep an eye on this.
592199
At the same time, the whole story about the founding of Equestria had Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi going their seperate ways. Obviously the Unicorns/Pegasi knew how to grow their own food.
In general, I just go with Earth Ponies having superior muscle mass, and actually makes more sense to me. Unicorns are of magic, intelligent but haughty/Pegasi are of air, fast but flighty/Earth pony's are of earth, strong but stubborn.
As for RD vs AJ in hoofwressle, I'm taking that as a visual gag(s) (The same way Rarity and Twilight somehow carried a boulder on their back that was probably 10 times their own weight), or RD spends a hell of a lot more time working out. Athlete vs Farmer. She's just never bothered with building mass on her front legs. If she had, she'd be doing what she was with her hindlegs with her forelegs. Breaking trees in half.
Otherwise seriously, it'd be like some cosmic "Fuck you" being born as one, spending half your life wondering what you did to deserve such punishment. And if I'm correct that Unicorns/Pegasi can grow their own food like I mentioned, ultimately useless to society, with every job you could do, a Pegasus or Unicorn could do better, other than the very very few involved in farming.
You kept my little add-on? I feel special!
Word of god supports them blessing the land and making it fertile, so...I don't think you could grow apples without being an earth pony.
very good i look forward to more
