Applejack is having a normal day, bucking... potatoes? Well, that was the original story line.

When Applejack finds one morning that she is bucking potatoes instead of apples, things go a little bit wrong. Granny Smith is very annoyed at Applejack for letting their family become the potato family instead of the apple family, Big Mac disappears, and Apple Bloom is spending barely any of her time with her family. What has Applejack gotten herself into?

Well, that was the main idea... now I'm getting a few different quests for Applejack, lets torture Applejack!

All curse words are under spoilers, so that's why there are random spoiler words.

This is a story for an amazing pony named TurnWrongTheStranger, I hope she likes it!

The Potato Family Part 1 / The Mess / The Marenappings Part 1

It was a normal day at Sweet Apple Acres, the sun was shining through the windows, barely a cloud in the sky. It was spectacular.

"Cock-aa-doodle-doo!" the rooster crowed.

"Well lookie here, another night has past at Sweet Apple Acres!" Applejack stifled a yawn.

Applejack sat up in bed, that was one nice sleep!

"Ah'll just make mah check list raght here," Applejack smiled, looking over the fields of Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack got out of bed, and started on her checklist :

1. Have apple pie with coffee for breakfast

2. Start bucking apples

3. Go to the market and sell apples and apple goodies

4. Spend time with family

5. Have a good night's sleep

She finished off and trotted out of her room, down to the dining room. Granny was baking her famous apple pie and Big Mac was preparing coffee, Applejack decided to make apple juice for Applebloom.

Applebloom trotted into the dining room, "Whatcha got cookin' there?"

"Just some apple pie," Granny answered with a grin.

"Yum! It smells go-" Applebloom was cut off, she was floating! Applebloom floated into the dish and got burnt! "Hot, hot, hot , hot!" Applebloom, stopped, dropped, and rolled, that didn't work very well because SHE WAS ON THE STOVE! She bumped her head on the dining room table, and sent it crashing on the floor, she knocked the pictures off the walls, she broke the TV, and she set fire to the couch.

"Applebloom! Would ya help us clean up? We know ya didn't mean it!" Applejack yelled up stairs to her sister, fillies could be a bit of trouble sometimes, but that was just them they shouldn't be punished for that.

"Applebloom! Please come down, ya won't be punished if ya do!" Granny Smith added, even though she wouldn't get punished either way.

"Eeyup," Big Mac sighed.

Applebloom drooped her head, they were such a good family, why did she have to be so bad? Applebloom sadly walked downstairs, she apologized, pouting.

"It's okay, sugar cube! All ya need ta do is help us clean up,"

"Eeyup,"

"Okay, I hope I ain't gonna do it no more," Applebloom hung her head.

"We hope ya don't too," Granny Smith answered "But that ain't gonna matter, cause we're apples, we stick together!"

Applebloom managed a slight grin, "Ya got any apple pie?"

"We did indeed make another batch, just don't go smellin' it!" Applejack answered.

Applebloom hugged her family, it was so nice of them!

"Now lets get cleanin'" Applejack said.

In a couple of hours they finished cleaning up, and had eaten the pie, Applejack thought she'd host an event, an event for the 500th aniversary of Sweet Apple Acres! She needed Rarity for the dresses and for Big Mac's suit.

Applejack walked trotted through the town, the marketplace was real busy today. She stopped when she came to Rarity's boutique, and trotted inside, Rarity was gone!

"Mayor Mare! Mayor Mare!" Applejack cried.

"Yes, Applejack?"

"Ah needed Rarity ta make some dresses for me, so ah went to her boutique, she was gone!"

"Oh dear, what can we do about that?"

"Simple, we could follow the clues to where she might be hiding!"

Mayor Mare agreed that it was a decent plan, so they set to work on the clues.

The Night Before That Day...

Sweetie Belle had gone away to sleep over at Scootaloo's house, and that meant Rarity was off the hook of her little sister for a whole night! She decided to go to the spa, she could stay for three or four hours, it was a Saturday after all, that meant nothing to do tomorrow!

Rarity reached the spa doors and opened them with her unicorn magic, the spa was almost empty, only about forty people there, (Trust me, that IS almost empty for the Ponyville spa.) and that meant that she could have a room all to herself! (It was a very big spa.) Rarity requested everything five times, it would be a fabulous night, it truly would!

Rarity's favorite part was the mud bath, so she ordered that one ten times, each for thirty minutes, while the normal was ten. Rarity also liked the bubble bath a lot, because that was for an hour, she only took that one once, though, she even drifted off in it!

She dreamt of a beautiful garden, it had a crystal pathway and every beautiful flower you could ever think of, even Rarity's favorite, the pink rose! It truly was a wonderful dream, but she awoke when the manager had drained all the water out of the tub, which Rarity didn't think was very nice.

"It's time for you to go, ma'am." the manager remarked with a face that was anything but kind.

Rarity left the spa, but in her mind she was thinking, I wish I never even met that bitch!

Rarity entered her boutique, it was strangely dark, she swore she had left a light on! Suddenly a shadow came from the wall and scooped her up in a bag!

"Help! Help! Help me!" Rarity screamed.

"That'll be no use, everypony's asleep! Now shut your mouth!" Said a voice that belonged to a diamond dog.

"So it's you! Twilight and the others will find you! I know it!"

Rarity was smacked on the head with a heavy iron bar or something of the sort, and she fainted.

"What should we do with her, boss?" A diamond dog asked.

"Take her to the dungeons! Put her in the spider sell! She'll just love it in there!"

Rarity's eyes flickered open, she was being carried into what looked like a jail cell, there was a spider on the top of the door, and there were a bunch of gross spider in there too!

"You will NOT put me in THERE, not with those BUGS!"

"HEY, WE'RE NOT BUGS! WE'RE ARACHNIDS!" a giant spider hollered.

It was a very big cell, and there were at least 1,000 spiders in it, most definitely more. Rarity squirmed in the claws of the diamond dogs, but it was no use.

"Think you can fight us? I'll scratch you if you don't stop!"

Rarity stopped squirming, but she didn't stop fighting, she blasted both of the diamond dogs in the chests with a zap of lightning, they fell to the ground.

Rarity ran as fast as she could, stunning all of the diamond dogs around her. Suddenly Erranos, the king of the diamond dogs, jumped up from behind her, she squealed as he caught her in his arms, and took her to, what she thought, was her doom.

Author's Note

I liked torturing Rarity in this chapter.

'The Mess' was the comedy part, it also involved sadness and drama.

'The Potato Family' was the shortest part in this chapter, I'd say it was Slice of Life and Random.

'The Marenappings' was probably random, slice of life, drama, and mystery.

Hope you enjoyed!

The Marenappings Part 2

Rarity shreaked, "AGH! Ugly, gross, icky bugs! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"Yum! DINNER!" The spiders TRIED to eat her, but she was to big, and she kept killing them, she even killed the queen!

This outraged the king, and they tried to eat her EVEN HARDER, Rarity killed the king, along with a couple hundred of other spiders, generosity? NO WAY! She wouldn't be generous to spiders that were trying to eat her!

Finally, Rarity divided the cell into two parts, the one that was much bigger was for her, but the much smaller one was for the spiders, they got about one twenty-fourth of the cell, yep, that much, just that tiny morsel of space.

The cell was dirty and dark, she changed it all, she changed it so that it was sparkling, there was sparkling clean wooden flooring and shining crystal walls, it was truly wonderful.

It was in fact so wonderful that Rarity completely forgot where she was and that there were spiders close to her, she wanted to get out of the room.

"I'll simply use my magic to unlock the jail cell door!" she thought she was so intelligent, but she didn't think that the diamond dogs would have thought of that.

Rarity moaned and wailed until the doors to the cage opened and two new sleeping ponies were dumped in, their names were Lyra Heartstrings and Bonbon.
