It was another peaceful, quiet morning on the farm as the sun rose over the horizon, dying the sky a subtle flow of orange, pink, and purple. Applejack awoke from her slumber, brushing off the hay on herself. She had slept in the barn's hayloft that night; she started doing this a few weeks ago. She found the hay much more comfortable than her lumpy, old mattress. Sure, she always had bits of hay sticking in her mane every time she woke up, but to her, it was worth it. But her favorite part of sleeping in the barn was waking up to look up her daily shenanigans on Youtube before Big Mac woke up, and they both had to get to work. She had concealed her computer in a spot in the hay, and put it on an old milking stool that was left there. She booted it up, waiting for it to load. It was a relatively slow computer, but Applejack was known for her patience, so it never really mattered to her. What really ticked her off was how long it would take for the computer to actually connect to their internet connection, since the signal was so weak in the barn. After she had gotten connected to the internet, she hurriedly opened up Firefox, and logged on to her Youtube account. Even though she was more than ready to look up her daily dose of cat videos and whatnot, something caught her eye in the "Suggested for you" section...
"Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged Episode 1: Pilot"
Applejack had heard of Yu-Gi-Oh before. Rainbow Dash told her about it. She even watched a few episodes, but quickly found it wasn't in her best interest. She had never heard of this whole "Abridged" thing until now. "Huh. Who knows? It might be good. I'll check it out. It's always good to try new things out, you know." She clicked on the video link, and started watching it. But she was so puzzled by its odd sense of humor, she lost interest in it quickly. "Oh well, at least I checked it out. Guess I should just get back to my daily cat videos." But after about half an hour of her cat videos, She heard hooves trotting to the barn door. "It must be Big Mac." She thought to herself. She quickly shut down her computer, and climbed down the ladder to the barn's first floor. She pulled the sturdy barn doors open with her muzzle, and sure enough, Big Mac was there, along with Apple Bloom. "Hey Big Mac, ready to get to work?" She asked eagerly.
"Eeyup." So they headed to the apple trees, and got to work as quickly as they could. It was just another day, as far as Applejack was convinced. But she didn't know what else was in store for her.
