Coming Back Home With a Hardened Heart

Applejack trotted happily over to a bakery to buy some warm and gooey cinnamon buns from a food court that she loved. She had been away from Sweet Apple Acres for a while now and was living with her relatives in Manehatten. She was always stopping by this bakery and other places that served food, because the ponies who she lived with did not feed her as much food as she was used to eating back at Sweet Apple Acres. She was a very hungry little pony and she was known to have an appetite of a full grown stallion.

Applejack took out her bag of bits and reached into the bag. She took out two bits for the sweet treat and placed them on the counter. She pointed at the biggest cinnamon bun that they sold and said, "I'll take that big cinnamon bun ya have in that window please!"

The employee went over and got her the treat. He slid it across the counter and Applejack caught it with her hoof. She instantly took a huge bite out of it and said with a mouthful of food, "Thanks again fer the treat! I love comin' here fer yer sticky cinnamon buns! I'll see ya tomorrow!"

"Bye, bye Applejack. I'm so happy that you love coming here. You're my most valued customer and tomorrow, the treat is on me! Hope to see you again!"

Applejack thanked him and began to trot away with her beloved treat. As she walked through the alley to go home, she was suddenly attacked by a pony that had run up to her and grabbed the treat from her, as well as her bag of bits. He shoved her to the ground, after he took her belongings and ran off at full speed ahead.

Applejack was stunned. She laid back against the brick wall and raised her hoof in the air at him as he ran away. "Gimmie back my treat ya thiven' vermin!"

The thief turned the corner and before she even got up, he was already gone.

"Why that no good dirty yeller pony took my treat and my money! I knew all yeller ponies were bad! I hear 'em often talkin' slang and I see them in the poorer side of the city. I bet they all like to steal and they all talk with those slang words! I hate 'em all!"

Applejack looked out of her window and sighed. She hated staying here, not just because dinners portions were so small and she was often left hungry in the middle of the night, but because of what happened earlier today.

Just as she was about to turn around and go into the kitchen, she saw the most magnificent rainbow in the sky. "Wow! I wonder where that rainbow came from! I see it points right back to Sweet Apple Acres! I feel that it's my destiny to go back to the farm. I need to get out of this place. I know there ain't no yeller ponies livin' in Ponyville. In the city, they swarm like cock roaches in a filthy apartment.

Applejack left the city and came back to where she felt she belonged, Sweet Apple Acres. They welcomed her back with great big hugs and smiles. Little did they know that she acquired a new racist attitude and behind those smiles and hugs lay a bitter heart for ponies with coats of a certain color. The only exception Applejack made when it came to tolerating a yellow pony was her little sister Applebloom. Her coat was yellow, but she was an Apple family and she talked normally to her. That was the only yellow pony that she would not hate on, at least not openly.

While Applejack was away, Granny Smith had opened up a bar near the farm to attract more business and to sell some more of their classic home made apple cider that ponies all over Equestria craved.

We Don't Want Your Kind Around Here

Applejack slammed her mug of spiked apple cider down on the table and then used her other front leg to wipe the foamy beard off of her mouth. "I hate yeller ponies! There ain't a day that goes by when I don't hate em!"

Big Macintosh said, "E-yup!" and pushed the board game closer to Applejack so that she could play.

"Why in Equestria do ya keep givin' me the yeller pieces? I don't want to play on the yeller side!" Applejack became upset and shoved the board game off of the table. The game board fell off of the table and the pieces scattered everywhere on the floor. "I don't even want to see yeller pieces at all, even if they ain't on my side, cause I wouldn't like losin' to the yeller side."

Big Macintosh rolled his eyes and said, "E-yup."

Applejack began to rant on and on about just how much she can't stand ponies with a yellow coat.

Big Macintosh put his elbow on the table and sighed. He leaned his head against his hoof. He wasn't racist, but he would end up agreeing with everything his sister said because if there was a disagreement, Applejack would lash out at him and she would argue incessantly until he finally agreed with her. He also knew that when she drank, she would become more angry and racist. Big Macintosh's body began to twitch and his head was sliding down his hoof as he closed his eyes. He was so very tired from hearing all of this and it was very boring to him. He was having a hard time staying awake after all of the farm work he did.

"So, ya agree with me that yeller ponies are no good?" Applejack asked in a louder tone of voice.

Big Macintosh jolted up because he was half asleep. He shook his head yes and said, "E-yup."

"I guess I'd better get back to the bar," the orange mare said. Applejack pushed her chair back and rose up from her seat. She was a bit drunk, but she was certainly not stumbling around the place as she made her way to the bar. Applejack grabbed a tall glass and began to wash it. As she was drying the glass with a cloth, the door opened.

In stepped a little yellow mare and approached the counter shyly.

Applejack almost dropped the glass in shock.

The little yellow mare trotted nervously up to the counter. "Um, excuse me. I would like to have a root beer soda float please. I mean, if that wouldn't be too much trouble." The yellow mare nervously placed the two bits on the counter to pay for her drink.

Applejack put the glass down and looked down at the timid pony with much intensity in her eyes. "Yer yeller!" she said.

The yellow pony looked down at the floor and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Is that a problem?"

"Yea, it is actually. I hate yeller ponies and I don't serve or want yer kind round here," Applejack said.

The yellow mare was stunned at her confession. She looked up at Applejack with tears in her eyes and said, "I-I-I'm so sorry for being born with a yellow coat." She then sped out of the door crying.

Applejack looked down at the table and scooped the two bits up with her hoof that the yellow pony had forgotten to take back. She opened up the cash register and put the bits in. There was not a bit of sorrow or remorse in her heart for what she had just said to the innocent little yellow pony.

The yellow mare continued to run away from the bar. She knew that she could have this bar shut down right away and file law suits, but she wasn't that type of pony who would ever do something like that, because she was so very sweet and kind hearted.

An Awkward Meeting

"And ya'll are so much fun to be with! Ya'll are the very best four ponies and friends I have ever had!"

Rainbow Dash giggled and said, "And we think you're pretty awesome too, Applejack! We're all so glad to see you and we're thrilled that we can hang out together."

"Say, where ya'll taken me today? I wanted to git some food with ya'll."

"We're taking you to meet our new friend that we met a few days ago," Rarity said.

"Oh boy! You girls are so much fun and I'm havin' a blast with ya'll. I can't wait to see who yer new friend is."

Pinkie Pie suddenly stopped in front of the cottage and said, "Well, that's what surprises are for you silly filly!" She then knocked on the door.

The door slowly opened and a certain pony with a pink mane peeked her head out. "Oh, Um, hi girls. I didn't expect you all to show up today. I was just busy feeding my little Angel Bunny and I..." Fluttershy suddenly cut her sentence short when she noticed that behind all of her friends, was that same pony who was very cruel to her.

Pinkie Pie grabbed the hoof of Fluttershy and dragged her outside. "Fluttershy, meet Applejack. Applejack, meet Fluttershy!" the pink pony said as she bounced joyfully around the two of them.

Fluttershy turned her head away and lowered her ears. "Um, hi. I think we may have met before." She then slowly stuck out her hoof to shake.

The farm pony stood there in shock. She became filled with anger and spat at the hooves of Fluttershy and said, "I thought ya'll were good ponies and didn't hang 'round with yeller ponies!"

Twilight scratched her head with her hoof and asked, "Uh, Applejack what do you exactly mean by that?"

"I hate yeller ponies! I hate 'em all! They talk funny and they steal, cheat, and lie!"

"Um, Applejack, my dear. I think you might be forgetting that you have quite an accent yourself and Fluttershy speaks quite normally," Rarity said.

"I ain't got no accent!" Applejack yelled. "And I ain't hangin' 'round no yeller ponies and a friend of a yeller pony is a friend that is no longer mine! Ya'll can either choose to hang out with me or that no good yeller belly, Fluttershy. I ain't havin' nothin' to do with her."

"Oh, um, that's ok. I understand. You all can play with Applejack today. I know I'm not wanted anyway. I'll just take care of Angel Bunny and play with him. I'm sorry for being such a problem to all of you," Fluttershy said as she walked back into her house and then quietly closed the door.

"What is the big deal, Applejack?" Pinkie Pie asked. "We're all different colors and I don't understand why Fluttershy is any different than the rest of us."

"That's what ya'll missin' here! Yeller ponies are no good and one time when I was in Manehatten, a yeller pony stole my food and my money!"

Twilight was trying to piece this all together. "So you mean that just because a pony who happened to have a yellow coat stole from you, makes all ponies with yellow coats bad?" she asked.

"Yes! Wait, I mean no!"

"Then what other reasons do you have to hate yellow ponies?" Twilight said.

Applejack's mind raced with some kind of excuses to say, but she could not find one, because what Twilight said was true. "I-I-I....I think ya'll just don't understand and are blind! We should just move on from this topic and go out and do somthin'. I'm not carryin' anythin' of value on me right now, but that same pony you introduced me to, was the one who tried to steal my money from me at the bank."

"Oh, is that so? Did the police do anything about it?" Rarity asked.

"No! They said that I dropped the letter out of my saddle bag, but I know I had the buttons closed and there's no way it could have possibly fallen out. The police make me sick 'round here! Buck the Police! Buck em all!"

The rest of her friends looked down at the ground and felt really awkward. Never before had they heard such harshness and racism come from a pony before.

Twilight Sparkle pawed at the ground with her hoof and said, "Well, it looks like Fluttershy said she'd rather have us hang out with you, so I guess we'll go out and get something to eat."

"I knew you'd see things my way! Thank ya for not bein' so ignorant! Let's have a good time together! More importantly, let's get somethin' to eat!"

Twilight Sparkle and her friends began walking to town for dinner. She hoped that maybe somehow they could change her heart and get her to talk to Fluttershy once more.

When they got to the restaurant and began eating, Twilight and her friends very cautiously tried to reintroduce the topic to Applejack of possibly giving Fluttershy another chance. But every time it was brought up, Applejack became very angry and threatened to cut her friendship off with them.

Showing Kindness Counts no Matter What

Granny Smith removed the thermometer from Applejack's mouth. "You are running quite a fever, Applejack. I don't know what I can do for you."

Applejack put her front leg against her forehead. She felt as if she were burning up. "Can't we go to the Doctors Granny?" Applejack asked.

Granny Smith shook her head and said, "I'm sorry Applejack, but you didn't want to buy health insurance because you said that you believed that you would never get sick. We can't afford a visit to the Doctors without having health insurance."

Applejack started thinking ridiculous reasons as to why she got sick in the first place. "Why them no good yeller ponies! I bet when I went out to eat, that a yeller pony was cookin' my food and purposely did somethin' to my food in order to make me sick. I hate yeller ponies!"

Granny Smith rolled her eyes and said, "Applejack, you really need to get over that incident that happened so long ago in Manehattan."

As time went on, Applejack was not getting any better, but more sickly. She lay peacefully asleep in her bed.

"Pinkie Pie, put that party horn away! Applejack is sick and she'll get scared if you blow that in her ear while she's sleeping," Twilight Sparkle said.

Pinkie Pie frowned and put the party horn away.

Twilight Sparkle used her magic to levitate a pillow and gently poked the sleeping pony with it.

Applejack yawned and opened up her eyes. When her eyes focused, she was shocked to see that her friends were all standing around her. "What are ya'll doin' here?" Applejack asked. Suddenly, she began to have a coughing fit.

"We just heard that you were sick and Granny Smith told us that you don't have any health insurance, but we know a pony who may be able to help you. Would you like to come with us?" Twilight asked.

Applejack was getting so sick and desperate, that she agreed to go. "Of course I'll go! I need any help I can git."

Rainbow Dash stepped next to the bed and turned her back to Applejack. She got low to the ground and said, "Come on and hop up on my back, A.J. and I'll carry you there."

Applejack very slowly crawled out of bed and wrapped her front legs around Rainbow's neck. She quickly fell asleep with her face burrowed into her colorful mane.

Five Ponies watched Applejack sleep on the couch.

"Do you think we should wake her up now?" Rarity asked?

"I think so," Twilight replied. Twilight gently poked the side of Applejack's body with her hoof.

Applejack tossed around on the couch for a bit and then opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she asked. Suddenly, she realized that she was looking at Fluttershy. The yellow mare had a tray set up next to the couch that Applejack was laying on. On the tray was a bowl of homemade soup.

Applejack became horrified, and even though she was so very sick and weak, she squirmed around the couch in discomfort. "I can't believe ya'll tricked me and took me to see this no good yeller pony! I assume ya'll want her to try to fix me? Ain't no way in Equestria am I gonna eat her food that she probably poisoned, or sleep here, cause she'll probably murder me in my sleep. I want to git out of here now!"

Fluttershy looked away sadly and could not respond to what Applejack had just said.

Twilight Sparkle put her hoof on Applejack's shoulder and said, "I know this is hard for you Applejack, but this is your only hope. Fluttershy really knows her healing foods and herbs, thanks to working with animals and nursing them back to health. You can either take the risk of getting better here, or you can die from not being treated back at home."

Applejack put her hoof to her chin in thought. She knew that she didn't really have a choice, because she would most likely die at home anyway. She sighed and said, "I guess I'll stay. Although I can't imagine anythin' good comin' out of this."

Twilight Sparkle gave her a pat on the head and said, "Thank you for trying, Applejack. It means so much to us all and we'll be back to check on you later. Get well soon!"

The rest of the other girls said goodbye to Applejack and left.

Applejack and Fluttershy stared at each other awkwardly.

Fluttershy pushed the tray over to Applejack and said, "Um, please have some homemade soup that I made you. It has lots of healing herbs in it that will help you to feel better."

Applejack sighed and took the bowl of soup. She carefully took a sip of it as if expecting it could be poisoned and she could drop dead at any moment. The taste of this soup was out of this world delicious and she suddenly drove her head into the bowl and licked every last drop of it.

Fluttershy continued to take care of Applejack. She sacrificed much of her own time just to stay by Applejack's side and cook meals for her. She often brought her birds inside and had them sing lullaby's to Applejack. Fluttershy really knew all about the healing herbs of nature, and Applejack was back on her hooves in no time.

"I think you're all better now and you can go home," Fluttershy said.

Applejack sighed and asked, "How much do I owe ya fer helpin' me out like this?"

Fluttershy shook her head no and said, "It's okay Applejack. I just wanted to do this for you and show you that I care about you. There is no charge."

Applejack felt as if she were suddenly hit by a train, by the words of Fluttershy. She suddenly felt her eyes well up with tears and fell to the ground at the hooves of Fluttershy. "I am so sorry for how I treated ya and I don't understand how you can be so kind to me when I treated ya like dirt. Please forgive my offenses against ya."

Fluttershy bent down low and patted her on the back. "There, there," she said. "I've learned the value of kindness, and of course I forgive you. The girls told me that you had a bad experience in the city and that it hurt your feelings a lot."

Applejack looked up at her and asked, "How did ya do it, Fluttershy? How did ya be so kind to me when I was so hateful?"

Fluttershy nervously turned her head away and said, "Oh, um, I," suddenly her voice trailed off far away and all Applejack could hear was mumbling.

"What did ya say there?" Applejack asked.

Fluttershy spoke up a little louder and Applejack was just barely able to hear her speak. "I love Jesus," she said.

"Ya love Jesus?" Applejack said. "No way! I love Jesus too! My whole family is Christian." Suddenly, Applejack was hit hard by the message of the Gospel and she felt an overwhelming guilt plague her mind for her rather extreme hypocrisy. "I-I-I guess I've been a pretty bad Christian, haven't I?"

"It's ok Applejack. No pony is perfect and we all have our faults in life. Would you like to come to church with me?" Fluttershy asked.

"Golly, I ain't never been to church before. Do ya have to go to church in order to go to heaven?" Applejack asked.

Fluttershy giggled and said, "No. Church is about ponies and their relationship with God.....not about buildings. We go to a building and worship God together, because it's convenient and it helps us to socialize.

"I guess I could take some time off to come. I thank ya kindly for the invite! Come here, sugar cube!" Applejack suddenly wrapped her front legs around Fluttershy's body.

Fluttershy closed her eyes with delight and smiled as she embraced her newly acquired friend.

A Change of Heart

Applejack and Fluttershy walked passed multiple pews as they headed down the aisle. They both took a seat right in the front row. It was too early for the service to begin because they got there a little bit earlier than expected.

Applejack looked around the building a bit. Suddenly, she felt a poke from Fluttershy. "What's up sugar cube?" the farm pony asked

"Um, Applejack. Have you ever repented of your sins and asked for Christ to be your savior?"

Applejack put her hoof to her chin and was deep in thought. "Nope, can't ever say I have."

"Um, then would you l like to come to the altar and give your life to Jesus?"

Applejack thought about this for a moment and said, "Sure! I'd love to!"

Fluttershy grabbed Applejack's hoof and lead her way over to where the pastor would be preaching. Fluttershy got down low and Applejack did the same.

"Um, I know this may be awkward for you, but would you like me to say a prayer and you can either pray the words quietly or out loud. Would that be ok?"

"Sure! I'll repeat the words out loud as you say 'em." Applejack said.

Fluttershy bowed her head low and put her hooves together.

Applejack did the same.

Fluttershy began her prayer. "Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you this day, with repentance in my heart, and I want to apologize for my sins. Please forgive me and help me to start a new life that is focused on your Word. I accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior and I pray that You may give me the Holy Spirit to empower me. I thank You for the sacrifice and work that You did for me on the cross and I pray that I will live a life that is pleasing to You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen."

Applejack opened her eyes and sat up straight. She leaned over and gave Fluttershy a hug. "Thank ya for doin' that fer me! It means so much to me!" Suddenly, Applejack felt a tap on her shoulder. She let go of Fluttershy and turned around. There, a stallion was standing before her. He looked so familiar to her, but she had no idea who he was.

The stallion spoke up and said, "I think I remember you. A long time ago, when I lived in Manehatten, I stole from a pony because I was hungry and poor. It was so long ago, but I can't remember if it was you that I stole from."

Applejack was taken a back because she remembered this story too. Thinking about it used to make her heart very bitter, but she did not feel any bitterness towards the pony now. "I remember that day and yes, that was me that you stole from," she said.

The yellow stallion bowed his head low and said, "I just wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for what I did. I didn't have a job and I was going so long without any food. Ponies were refusing to give me anything when I asked around, so I became desperate. It was very wrong of me to do that and I hope there is forgiveness in your heart for me."

Applejack became teary eyed and said, "Of course I forgive ya! How could I not? Christ has forgiven me all of my sins, and I want to give forgiveness and love to others because of what He has done!"

Applejack hugged the stallion and he embraced her as well.

"Thank you so much for showing mercy! I am so grateful!" the stallion said.

Applejack broke free from the hug and said, "Why don't ya sit with us and we can all worship the Lord together!"

"That sounds great!" the stallion said. "Thanks for inviting me over to sit with you."

The three ponies sat down. The stallion sat on the left, and Fluttershy sat on the right side. Applejack sat in between them.

Applejack suddenly felt a hoof tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see a giggling Rainbow Dash behind her.

"Hey A.J. and Fluttershy, can you all scoot over and give me some room to sit with you all?" Rainbow asked.

Applejack was stunned to see Rainbow Dash at church. "Rainbow! Ya mean to tell me yer a Christian too!?"

Rainbow Dash smiled and said, "Of course! My name is Rainbow Dash and the rainbow represents God's loving promise to all of us! I can't even think of a percentage of a number for how cool Jesus is!"

Applejack noticed that all of the other girls were walking up behind Rainbow Dash. Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity, all came along to worship and give praise to God.

Applejack was shocked, but a huge grin was plastered across her face. "Scoot on over Fluttershy! Let's make some room for our friends."

The three ponies scooted over and the rest of Applejack's friends sat down with them.

Shortly after, the pastor came up to the podium and lifted his front legs up in the air. "Let us sing praises and rejoice in the Lord!"

Everypony in the building rose to their hooves.

A pony had pushed over a projector to project the lyrics onto a white screen.

The song began and everypony began to sing.

Applejack instantly recognized the words and sang out loud. "JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE PONIES! ALL THE PONIES OF THE WORLD! RED AND....." Suddenly Applejack wrapped her front leg's around the two yellow ponies sitting next to her. "YELLER, BLACK, AND WHITE! THEY ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT! JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE PONIES OF THE WORLD!"

Of course Applejack was filled with so much joy that she was easily the loudest one singing from the pews, and she didn't exactly have the best signing voice.

Many ponies were giggling at how off key she was, but they were so happy to see her so excited and giving praise to God.

When the songs of praise had ended, the pastor gave his message for the day. It was a message about loving thy neighbor.

Applejack was deeply touched by it, as so were the other ponies. She often found herself fighting back tears because of how meaningful it was to hear the truth.

When the service had ended, Applejack talked to the yellow stallion for a bit before she left the church with her friends. They would meet up at the church again next week and they would be friends.

Applejack Takes a Trip to the Bank

Applejack trotted happily over to the bank. She was whistling a bluegrass tune as she went about her way. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining warmly down on her. There was not a single cloud in the bright blue sky and Applejack felt as if nothing could go wrong today. She had an envelope in her saddle bag that had all of the bits that she collected from a whole week's worth of working at the bar. Applejack was just about to enter the door to the bank, when she suddenly, she felt a hoof tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see a yellow pony holding the envelope full of money that she had put in her saddle bag. She was horrified that it was the same yellow pony that she kicked out of the bar a few days ago.

The yellow mare became very nervous when Applejack turned around because she realized that she was the same pony who worked at the racist bar.

Applejack began to cry out to the public for help. "HELP! Thief! A yeller pony is tryin' to steal my money!"

The yellow pony began to panic and dropped the envelope full of money to the ground. "Oh no! This fell out of your saddle bag and I just wanted to return it the rightful owner. I'm so sorry if you took it the wrong way."

Applejack continued to act hysterical because her own racist mind was exaggerating things again.

Suddenly, a police pony, who was inside, guarding the bank, quickly walked out of the door.

Applejack took notice of him and cried out. "Help me officer! This no good rotten yeller pony took my money from me! Put her in jail!"

The police pony bent down and picked up the envelope. He then handed it back to Applejack and said, "I saw the whole thing happen, Miss. Your envelope accidently fell out of your bag and this pony was kind enough to pick it up and she just wanted to give it back to you. There is no need to be upset."

Applejack took the envelope back and stuck it in her saddle bag. "I can't believe yer defendin' a yeller pony officer! Ya know they all have hidden agendas and motives. I think yer mistaken her fer her true intent! What is this world comin' too? I bet the only reason she is here, is to rob the bank in the first place!" Applejack turned her back to them and walked into the bank.

The little yellow pony began to cry at the awful assumptions that Applejack had made.

The police pony hushed her and praised her for her good deed. He took her next store and bought her a doughnut, topped with extra sprinkles, to cheer her up.

A New Group is Born

When the girls came to Twilight's library, Spike had set up a tea party and welcomed them back.

Everypony sat down and enjoyed some Sunday tea. They also talked about plans for Applejack's Baptism.

Twilight Sparkle used her magic to levitate a quill and scroll. "How about a letter to the Princess, Applejack?"

Applejack cleared her throat and said, "Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that harboin' hatred and bitterness in yer heart is unhealthy and destructive. I learned an important Bible verse today and it was very important for me to memorize it. The verse says, Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. Ya see, I had a bad past experience with a certain pony and I assumed all ponies of his kind were bad, but thanks to Fluttershy and the message of Christ, I am a new mare again! We are all created equal in His eyes and we are all precious to Him. I have never felt such joy and contentment before in my life. Friendship and love is magic, and I'm so blessed to find new sisters in Christ. Yers Truly, Applejack."

Twilight Sparkle jotted everything down and gave the letter to Spike.

Spike used his magical dragon fire breath to send the letter away to the Princess.

Applejack put her front hoof across the table and asked, "Sisters in Christ?"

Each pony put their front hoof on top of hers and said, "Sisters in Christ!"

"Hey!" Applejack exclaimed as she pulled her front hoof back. "Why don't we make a group and call it, Sisters in Christ? Would everypony like that?"

The rest of Applejack's friends agreed and thought that was an awesome idea.

Applejack looked at Twilight Sparkle and said, "Twilight Sparkle, ya seem to be the smartest one here. Would ya like to lead our little group?"

Twilight Sparkle giggled and had a bit of blush on her face from the compliment that Applejack had given her. "I'd love to!" she admitted.

Applejack ended up giving up alcohol even though she loved that spiked apple cider. Whenever she used to drink it, she would become bitter and racist, but now she was done drinking alcohol for good.

Granny Smith decided to shut down the bar and use the bar as a storage place for farming equipment. She realized that ponies were getting drunk and it was leading to disputes and arguments and sometimes ponies would even get a little physical with each other.

Applejack learned to live in peace and contentment as she would show love and compassion for all others because the love of Christ had touched her heart through a little yellow pony named Fluttershy.

The end.
