"Woo We!! Ah almost never thought we would get done with todays section."

She wiped the sweat off her brow, pulling her old dusty stetson off for just a second.

"Eeyup. we finally got it done. Now, we need to figure out what ta do about the "forgotten" part of our orchard."

Nopony knew he could talk so much. All he normally said was just "eeyup" and that was the end of his dialogue..

His red coat dusty from bucking trees, yellow mane a true Rarity nightmare. His green eyes, almost the same shade as his sisters, had dark rings under them. He looked exhausted, like he was bound to pass out on the spot.

" Ah got this covered. Ain't nopony gettin in there after Ah'm done. Now you just go one back to the house and rest up. Don't need ya passin out on me, like a little school filly," She laughed.

"Don't you sass me, youngin. Ah'm the one who stays up all night makin sure you and Apple Bloom are safe. Ah got a right to be exhausted. Ah don't see you on patrol, THEN apple bucking," He snarled. His eyes slanting into an almost fighting manner.

"Oh calm yerself down. Ah told ya Ah could take a shift, but ya always tell me ya got it."

Her tail flicked in an annoying told ya so, kind of way.

Unbeknownst to the two bickering elder siblings, their sweet innocent baby sister and her adorably sweet companions were hiding in the bushes.

"Apple bloom, what are they talking about? Why does Big Mac have to patrol that part of the orchard?" asked the most innocent and sweet filly Ponyville has ever known. Her eyes were big with excitement and wonder, her curled pink and purple mane swaying with the wind.

" I bet it has something to do with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon disappearing.. What if they fillynapped them, and have them hidden in there? We should totally check it out. who knows, maybe a cutie mark in detective work might be fun!!!" Her little orange wings flapping so hard you could almost here them buzz with excitement...

"Scootaloo, get real. Ah know mah family and ah know they'd never do that. But ah would liek to know whats back there.. But Apple Jack told me not to.. "

" Well, If Apple Jack told you not to, then maybe we shouldn't. I mean, we could get in a lot of trouble.."

" Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, How are we going to know, if we don't go. Our cutie marks could be in there. And we will never get them if we don't go."

"Well, it can't hurt if we just peek, right? Ah mean, it's just a peek."

"I'm not sure I want to know. But I don't think I want to be called a chicken, by the chicken."

"HEY!!! Who's idea is this anyway? Sheesh, let's just go."

Meanwhile, back in the farm house, Apple Jack was busy laying out plans to reinforce the protective fences around the darkest part of the orchard. The part where the trees grow like crazy, but produce a very deadly fruit. One bite would easily kill a stallion twice the size of Big Mac.

"Ah figured ah could get twalight to help us this time. She could use her magic to put a barrier on the fencing we use. Ah won't tellher much, just that ah need it to be strong enough to repel changelings. And timberwolves. That outta convince her."

"Ah just hope ya remember to make sure NOTHIN get through this time. Ah certianly don't want none of 'em comin back."

"It'll be foal-proof this time. Ah promise, ain't none of 'em comin back." Her smile being one of those crazed, yet intelligent murderers smiles.
