The Doctor and Applejack finally made it to Sweet Apple Acers, from one side of the town to the other. They reached the front gate to see a Pony about the same age and size of Applejack. The Doctor and Applejack walked over to her.

"Remember, Applejack, stick to the story, we can't let her know who you are." the Doctor said making sure the message got through.

"Ok, ok, ah get it!" Applejack replied.

"Another thing, do not let her touch you, those things are the most important things while we're in he presents, don't let her know who you are and don't touch her or let her touch you." the Doctor explained.

"Ah understand why we can't tell her who we are, but why can't ah let her touch me?" Applejack asked.

"Because, if she is a member of your family, then she carries the same D.N.A, but your D.N.A is the future of the apple family, and if there is someone touching you with the same D.N.A as you when to them you haven't been born yet, it can cause time disruption." the Doctor explained.

"Oh, what happens when there is time disruption?" Applejack asked.

"I'd rather not tell you." the Doctor replied.

The Doctor and Applejack reached the pony working on the farm, the pony turned and looked at the Doctor and Applejack, wondering what they wanted.

"Hey, what can ah do for you two?" the pony asked.

"Hello, we're from... Um..." the Doctor struggled to say where they were from as he didn't know many places in Equestria. "Um... Italy!"

"What? Where the hay is Italy?" Applejack whispered.

"Just a place in my universe, a country on the planet Twilight went when she went through the portal, just go with it!" the Doctor whispered back. He turned back to the pony and smiled.

"Italy, is that a new place in Equestria?" the pony asked.

"Um, yes, yeah, it was just built a few months ago, brand new." the Doctor replied, trying to keep the secret that it was a lie, hoping the pony didn't get suspicious.

"Well, um, ok, what do ya need?" the pony asked.

"As I was saying, we're from Italy and we are on our way to Canterlot, but we ran out of food, so we came here to buy some apples!" the Doctor explained.

"Well we have plenty of apples! One apple is three bits each." the pony stated.

"Ooh..." the Doctor said as he turned to Applejack.

"What? Are ya complainin' 'bout the price? If so, these apples are cheaper than what we sell 'em for back home!" Applejack whispered.

"No! It's not that! I have no money..." the Doctor explained.

"What?! How could you forget money when you knew we were going to buy apples? We're going to have to go back and get some!" Applejack said furiously.

"I didn't have any money in the first place! It's not my fault!" the Doctor said innocently. He turned back to the pony. "I'm sorry, we don't have any money with us, we'll just be off."

The Doctor and Applejack walked back to the front gates to exit Sweet Apple Acers, but just before the left, the pony turned back round to catch their attention.

"Wait! I have an idea!" the pony pointed out.

"What's that then?" Applejack asked.

"My hole family has left Ponyville to go to a family reunion, but I promised to take care of the apple farm and do all the chores, I've been working three days straight and I'm getting tired and need a hour or two to take a breath. Would you mind bucking the last few remaining apple trees for me while I take a break and  will pay you in apples?"

"Of coarse!" Applejack smiled.

"Wait, what?!" the Doctor said to himself.

"Well why not, Doctor?"

"We can't get tied up with this, you've seen Sweet Apple Acers, now lets come back and explore the history like you wanted to." the Doctor replied.

"You said stick to the story! We have no money and this is the only way to gat apples. Getting apples was in the story! And look at her, Doctor! She's tired and she's sweating all over, she can barley stand after working for three days straight, cant we just help her out?!" Applejack asked.

"Hmm, I suppose so..." the Doctor said after thinking about what Applejack said. He turned to the pony. "Yes, ok we will help you out!" the Doctor smiled.

"Oh, thank you!" the pony cheered. She pointed out a small, cramped bunch of trees. "Take those ones over there, there's only twelve, shouldn't take you long to buck!"

"Ok will do, but what is your name? I feel weird working for someone who's name I don't know." the Doctor asked.

"My name is Golden Delicious, and yours?" Golden Delicious asked.

"My name is the do-" the Doctor was saying before he was knocked by Applejack.

"Remember, we're not using our real names." Applejack whispered.

"Oh yeah. Sorry." the Doctor said as he turned back to Golden Delicious. "My name is Time Turner and this with me is Apple Bucker!" the Doctor replied.

"Well it's nice to meet you both! If you need me, I will be in the barn." Golden Delicious smiled.

"Thank you, you too!" the Doctor replied.

Golden Delicious trotted over to the barn and the Doctor and Applejack made their way towards the apple trees they had been asked to buck.

"Ok, Applejack, how do you buck?" the Doctor asked.

"Like this!" Applejack replied. She lifted her back legs up and bucked the apple tree behind her, every single apple fell at the same time with the power of one buck from Applejack.

"Wow, all of them down with one buck, those are pretty powerful legs you have there!" the Doctor laughed.

"That's because I've been doing it my hole life." Applejack said as she bucked the second apple tree. "Now that I've shown you how to buck an apple tree, you try it!"

"Ok, I'll try!" the Doctor smiled. He lifted his back legs from the ground and pushed them back, attempting to buck the tree but sadly failing. Applejack laughed.

"Ha, ha, you're really bad at this, I'd expect ya legs to be stronger because of all that running you do! Here, let me do them, save you from breaking your leg on the apple tree." Applejack giggled.

"More like saving me from the embarrassment..." the Doctor frowned. The Doctor looked at Applejack bucking the apple trees, one second the apples were on the trees, the other, on the floor, it's like she could buck at the speed of light.

After the Doctor and Applejack finished bucking the apple trees, mostly Applejack, they went back to the barn to see Golden Delicious.

"Golden Delicious, we're finished bucking the apple trees!" Applejack shouted.

Golden Delicious walked out of the barn.

"Already, that was fast! Anyway here's your sack of apples as payment." Golden Delicious smiled. "Before you go, would you like to come in for a glass of apple cider, as a thank you?"

"Ok, why not?" the Doctor smiled.

"Wait, what happened to sticking to the story?" Applejack asked.

"You can never say no to a free glass of apple cider!" the Doctor laughed.

The Doctor and Applejack walked into the barn and sat down in the chair next to the table with a fresh glass of apple cider in front of them.

"So, tell me about yourselves." Golden Delicious said.

"Well me and Apple Bucker own an apple farm too. Apple Bucker bucks the apples and I sell them in the market in the centre of town!" the Doctor said trying to stay ahead of Golden Delicious and tried to keep the story going.

the Doctor and Applejack finished their apple cider.

"Well thanks for that, Golden Delicious, but we need to be on our way now, we need to catch the train to Canterlot." the Doctor smiled.

"Well it's nice to make two new friends, you can come back anytime!" Golden Delicious laughed.

"Here, I'll put this glass back for you, Golden!" Applejack said, trying to help out.

"No, it's quite alright, I'll clean up myself." Golden Delicious replied.

"No, ah insis- Woah!" Applejack said before she and Golden Delicious fell to the floor. Unfortunately, they fell, but also touched on impact. There was a huge bang in the sky, with comets falling from the sky with creatures crawling out of them.

"Well at least the glass didn't smash." Golden Delicious said, unaware of what is happening outside.

"Never mind that, Golden, what's happening outside?" Applejack asked.

"Oh no!" the Doctor thought to himself. "I was hoping that this wouldn't happen..."
