My Little Friendship Confusion Is Magic

After a brisk walk of total silence, the six ponies made it at the farm. It was basically a giant barn. Outside, there were several hundred apple trees. At the base of the trees were two ponies bucking a way at them. One was big, red, and had a green apple for his mark. The other one was tan with a yellow mane. It also had a rancher hat on.

Jared looked over and saw that it had a mark on its flank. She had three apples for her mark. He nudged his friends and pointed at the mark.

"Hey sis.", Applebloom said walking through the gate up to the one they were pointing at.

The pony stopped bucking a look at Applebloom.

"Hi'ya Applebloom.", the pony said, "Didn' spect ya home so soon."

Tristen nudged Jared. "Ask her out dude.", He whispered to him.

The pony looked over her sister and saw the three friends. One was hitting the other while the third one laughed.

"Who's your friends?", the pony asked Applebloom.

"Oh, they're lost so I thought we help.", Applebloom said looking back at her friends. She also looked at her flank and sighed. "I guess navigating an't our ability.", she said sounding a little sad.

"Ah don't fell sad Applebloom. You'll find ya mark.", the other pony said.

She walk over to where the three stallions were. "Hi'a. Ma name's Applejack.", the pony said, extending her hoof.

"Oh, sorry, hi.", Jared said, hitting Tristen one more time. "I'm Jared, this is Tristen and this is Janson.", Jared said pointing at his friends. Jared shook her hoof.

"Ma lil' sis said ya'll were lost?", Applejack asked.

The three stallions nodded in agreement. "Yah, we got chased by something in that forest over yonder.", Janson said pointing at the forest where they just came from.

Applejack gasped in shock. "Ya'll came from the Everfree Forest!", she gasped.

The three stallions looked at each other and shrugged. "What's so bad about the forest?", Jared asked.

Applejack couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Why, it's the most horrible place t'go!", she said,"It's full of timberwolves, hydras, cockatrices..." She trailed off, thinking about what she had just heard.

Jared leaned back and whispered, "What's a timberwolf."

Applejack heard him. "What, ya an't never heard of a timberwolf!", Applejack yelled.

She looked at the three strange ponies. They just gave her a generally confused look.

"Why, ya'll an't kiddin.", she stood there wondering how to help them. She thought it would be best to show them what a timberwolf was first.

"Come with me.", she said walking towards town.

"Oh come on. We just got here.", Jared said under his breath.

The three ponies left the Crusaders and the farm and followed Applejack.

"Hey Jack, where we headed?", Tristen asked.

"I'm takin y'all to the library to show you what a timberwolf is.", she said,"And ask Twi a few questions."

Jared walked up beside her. "Who's Twi?", Jared asked.

"Oh she's one of ma friends.", she said, "She runs the library."

"Oh, okay.",Jared said, nodding his head.

The walk ended a few seconds later when they stopped in front of a large tree. It had several windows, doors, and decorations all over it.

"What is wrong with this tree!", Janson yelled.

Applejack looked at him with a grin. "This is tha library."

Janson looked up at the tree. "Say what."

"Come on inside.", Applejack said opening the door.
