Earth prologue: Is it real?

A typical day in ponyville. Sun shining, birds chirping. Business blooming. Business blooming? This was a rare sight for the Apple Family to be blooming with customers. Customers wanting apples. Lots and lots of apples. Maybe a side of cider to go with it, but mainly just apples.

"Big mac, we need some more apples. We're getting low!" shouted AppleJack serving her customers. I wanted to have success but this is a bit too much for one day.

Big Mac returned with a cart full of Apples right when AppleJack was short on Apples. Out of all the days for success, it had to be this day.

"Thanks Mac, Business is hard today, I don't know why they can't Just come every other day? It doesn't seem like there's anything special about the apples today compared to every other day." AppleJack was furiously serving the customers that it seemed like she was just doing the same action in a loop that she wasn't really focusing.

"Hey AppleJack, WOAH, you have alot of customers today." said Pinkie Pie walking up besides her.

"I'm kind of busy here, can we talk later?"

"But it looks like you're just doing the same thing in a loop. You don't even have to concentrate for that."

"Ok fine. I Don't know why business is blooming today. It doesn't seem like there's anything different about them"

Pinkie Pie grabbed an Apple and took a bite out of it. Mouth munched loudly as here taste buds got all the flavour out of it.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NOTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THEM? THEY TASTE LIKE STRAWBERRIES!"

"You didn't happen to eat a strawberry cupcake before this did you?" replied AppleJack looking confused as to why she thought they tasted like strawberries.

"I ate about 10 of them" replied Pinkie Pie with a Big Grin on her face.

Later that day, AppleJack and Pinkie Pie were walking through Ponyville on their way to Sugar Cube Corner.

"So there was like 10000 customers, and your hoofs were like juggling all the bits and apples as you tried to serve them, it looked HILLARIOUS!" said Pinkie Pie Remarking how AppleJack was working so hard then.

"I guess i was really working hard. It's hard to hold bits with hooves so i kept dropping them all the time"

"Was that what you were doing the whole time? I thought you were just hyperactive."

"Aren't you the one who's..." AppleJack stopped in the middle of the sentence as she saw some Pegasi clearing the clouds in the sky.

"I'm the one who's what? TELL ME NOW!" shouted Pinkie Pie nudging AppleJack.

"Oh nevermind."

Pinkie and AppleJack continued walking with Pinkie Trying to figure out what AppleJack was saying about her.

The two Earth ponies walked into Sugar Cube Corner where AppleJack took a seat at one of the Cubicles and started to look through the menu.

"So you were like Not now Pinkie i'm really busy and you were heavily juggling Those bits and Apples it looked so hillarious. You remember that huh?" said Pinkie in remark to what happened early today. "Are you ok AppleJack?"

AppleJack awoke from her Trance where she replied to Pinkie Pie.

"Yeh, Yeh. I'm Fine. I'm ok"

"You don't look ok. Is there anything wrong?"

AppleJack looked up and turned to Pinke pie.

"No, Everything's fine. I was Just thinking about Something."

"So, What is this Something?" asked Pinkie Pie in confusion.

"Just about us. I was thinking about us."

"Us? and how awesome we are?"

"Pinkie, Do you ever wonder what is our purpose to be here?"

"And what excactly do you mean by that?"

"Like why are we here?"

"Oh it's so simple. We're both here to be great friends to everyone!"

"No. I meant, Why Do we exist? Why do us Earth ponies exist?"

"I told you, to be great friends to everyone."

"I mean, Unicorns can cast Spells and Pegasi can Fly. We can't Do any of those things, So why are we here?"

Pinkie Pie saw the depression in her friends face as she tried to come up with an answer.

"Well, We can't fly or do magic but we can make great food and grow stuff."

"Anyone can Make Food. It's not just us Earth ponies that make food. I'm sure Twilight makes her own food with her magic and I see Fluttershy making food and caring for her Animals all the time."

"But you make the best food ever. Like awesome pie and stuff."

AppleJack lifted her hoof and placed it against Pinkie Pie's Mouth.

"And i'm sure you're cakes are good too, but Anyone can make Cake and pie. I'm sure if someone found my recipe they could make it as yummy as mine. Is there any real reason for us to exist? Is there any purpose for us to help others? Unicorns and Pegasi can do all the things we can do but even more than that." AppleJack Slumped out of the cubicle and started walking out of S.C.C.

"AppleJack, Where are you going?" Pinkie Pie Called out after AppleJack.

"I'm not hungry. I'm going back to the farm."

"What is our purpose in life? Doesn't AppleJack know that we are here to be great friends with everyone and to live a great and happy life? Not to mention to eat cupcakes." Pinkie Pie said to herself. Not truly understanding what AppleJack was saying right before.
