My dearest diary;

Good grief! Why do disasters have to befall onto the town of Ponyville. About a week or so ago, we were treated to this power hungry mare of darkness and cruelty. And now, just recently, a stampede of cows were about to thrash our town. I was looking to go to a mart to get some cat food for Opalescence, until I heard Rainbow Dash scream about a stampede. The mayor wanted to calm us down, but I was in distress, and couldn't watch what dangers were about to unfold.

Suddenly, Applejack managed to herd all of the cows and round them away from Ponyville. "My cautious opinions towards her were immediately shattered", I thought. There was going to be this whole celebration devoted to her. Pinkie Pie, as you would expect, proposed the notion.

I got my giant ribbons and bows ready for our celebration that happened tomorrow. I even had one giant bow have apples filled on them.

However, I think Twilight was quite jealous of my organization skills. Her need to change the subject made me smirk to myself. Unfortunately, no-one had seen Applejack for a while. Rainbow Dash promised that she'll be there, because she's never late. This surprises me, as it makes me wonder if Applejack, and Rainbow knew each other before I met them. I wonder if they were both able to handle each other's headstrong natures.

At the ceremony, Twilight was presenting it as a tribute to Applejack, but Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were interrupting her. Rainbow Dash is having Applejack's athletic skills help her, Pinkie Pie is helping Applejack bake with her, and Fluttershy is helping her with bunnies. Okay, since when is Applejack good at baking? Or since when can she help with soft creatures like bunnies?

Don't let her know this, but I'm actually really jealous of Applejack. I don't understand why everypony likes her so much.

Twilight was enraged. The Mayor interrupted her too, and took over the ceremony. She honored Applejack. Oh blah, blah, blah. Applejack this, and Applejack that. In all honesty though, I was thinking that maybe I should cut Applejack some slack. She saved the town from destruction, at least, that's what I thought.

Because once Applejack got to the ceremony after a long, stiff, and awkward delay, she felt different. She makes the apple cider in the town for cider season. I wonder if she drank so much, that she only chased the cows for fun. In any case, she grabbed her trophy, and made a slow exit. We all had our suspicions, and I personally thought her mane was messy. But to be honest, I always thought that it was.

From there, I got to work on what I was doing. It's been hard lately working on any creations due to all these strange happenings. Another one was about to happen. While in town, I overheard a few ponies discussing about half of the town being hospitalized by 'baked bads', from cupcakes that Applejack, and Pinkie made. This is exactly why I don't eat cupcakes too often. You can have a strange apple farmer trying to hospitalize everypony.

I had also then learned about a disaster involving a certain bunny stampede caused by Applejack, and Fluttershy. I wonder if Applejack is evil, or just incredibly drunk.

But throughout all of this, I learned from Twilight about Applejack's stubbornness. Apparently, she was handling 'applebuck season', which involves bucking the apples off the trees to harvest them. Applejack apparently overworked hersself, and found it harder to do tasks, though I still think she drank a lot of apple cider.

In the end, I felt sympathy for Applejack, as in that I considered her pathetic. But I volunteered to help finish the applebucking duties that she couldn't handle. I know I could've easily levitated the apples off the trees like Twilight did, but then I realized that if I buck the trees, maybe everypony would notice me more.

I drank some apple juice that Applejack gave us that I am confident had apple cider mixed in. Always keep a keen eye. I am really becoming suspicious of that farmer though. Maybe she's fattening us up to eat us. Or maybe the apples are made from ponies. I hope Applejack doesn't eat me. Not that moi doesn't have some delicasy involved when it comes to eating each other, but I don't want to be digested by someone like Applejack. The breath would stink. Prove me wrong that Applejack doesn't eat others. I may be over-the-top sometimes, but I am certain that I am right with this slightly exaggerated assumption.

Spike wanted us to eat the baked bads that were made, even though they were dropped in the trash. I bet Applejack used her EVIL powers to manipulate him. I'm not over-reacting. I'm not. Okay, maybe a tad small bit.

Author's Note

This chapter is a little stranger than others, but I enjoyed making it. Rarity has some refined tastes and opinions, maybe this is one of them.

Made three chapters in one day!
