Inspired by a song you might have heard, in this story Applejack finds that not everypony in Ponyville approves of how Applebloom is being raised in the so far unexplained absence of her parents. Fortunately, the notoriously audacious Rarity has been there before, and is there to help Applejack deal with any criticisms...
As a major Tom T. Hall fan, I am delighted to see this.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Blackmail is awesome and can totally be worth it in the right context.
I get to be honest AND get results.
I reckon I should try it more often

It was good. AJ sure gave them what they needed.

Honesty is not always the best policy, but when weilded in the right moment can be more devistating than getting bucked in the face.
Nice little story. Short but direct and funny.
Yeah! Suck it PTA!
This was a very good one-shot.
