The Tale of Shadow Rider

                                                                     Twas' a typical day in Ponyville.

                                                 Pinkie Pie working at Sugar Cube Corner as her gleeful self.

                                                Fluttershy tending to the animals.

                                                And Apple Jack toiling at Sweet Apple Acres with Big Mac.

                                                While deep within the orchards.Apple Jack begins to hear a munching sound.

                                                She follows the sound to one of her apple trees but,there were apple cores lying around it.

                                                "Hey,who in tarnations up there!"

                                                The munching sound stopped and there was no answer.

                                                Apple Jack then went up to the tree and bucked it with her back hooves.

                                                Sending the apples still on the tree and the one eating then falling to the ground.

                                                The culprit was a tan colored stallion pegasus with a map with dashes leading to an "X"on it for a cutie mark

                                                 and a long scraggly mane and tail.

                                                 Apple Jack then glared at him.

                                                 "Who are you and why are you eatin' mah apples?"

                                                 The stallion still lying on the ground on the pile of apples was trying not to make eye contact.

                                                 These are your trees?I do apologize...but,if you don't mind I must be on my way."

                                                 The stallion then sprang up and dashed past Apple Jack to then leap into the air and fly off.

                                                "You git back here and pay for these!"Apple Jack bellowed.

                                                 High up,the stallion yelled back "I'll pay ya soon I promise!"

                                                 He then set course to Ponyville.
