Bad Apples

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

Applejack put her ear to the door waiting for a response. When none came, she glanced to her side where Big Mac is leaning against the wall. “Eeyup” Big Mac stepped over and positioned himself in front of the door. In a swift motion he kicked out behind him. The door splintered and fell inwards with a resounding crack.

Applejack strolled in nonchalantly. “Well, well, well. What do we ‘ave here.” Before her sat two twin Pegasi, both a vibrant green and yellow. They were sitting at a small dining room table, a small pile of bits spread out for all to see. Just behind them was visible a saddlebag slumped against the table leg, holding yet more bits.

One of the Pegasi made a move to speak, “I-It’s-“.

Applejack silenced her with a motion of her hoof. Taking the piece of wheat from her mouth, “Ah don’t want to hear it.” She glances back to Big Mac, “Won’t ye go check out the out house. Ye can go through the kitchen”

“Eeyup” Big Mac turns and leaves in the direction of the kitchen.

She turns back to the two Pegasi in front of her, “Now-” Applejack pauses in thought for a moment, “Ah’m feeling’ a might generous today. Keep the bits, as a gift.”

The Pegasus’s face lit up the other showing visible signs of relief, “Oh thank you. I promise; this is the last time-”

“You won’t have trouble from us again” The other sister squeaked.

“Indeed ah won’t” Big Mac walked back in from the kitchen, “All clear?”

Big Mac nodded, “Eeyup.”

“Let’s get outta here.” Applejack put the wheat back in her mouth, and with a last glance to the Pegasi took her leave.

Applejack and Bic Mac were walking down the trail away from the farm house when just in the distance, there was a deafening boom. A ball of flames and smoke erupted into the sky raining pieces of timber down on the surrounding fields.

Big Mac paused to look back at the destruction. Applejack just kept walking, “That’ll teach em.”
