Farmer vs Murderer

Applejack was very happy to get back to her family. Camp Everfree must've been tough on her, but was pretty much saved from chaos by Gaia Everfree. Another magical situation saved from evil, four times felt too much for her and needed to take it easy and relax a little bit. Well she could use a short nap for a while until time to work. So she slept for about four hours until her older brother named Big Mac called her name.

"Applejack!" he called, "Granny needs yer help!" Applejack slowly woke up and came down to look for her grandmother, Granny Smith. She looked almost everywhere and couldn't find her.

She found her younger sister Applebloom and asked her, "Have ya seen Granny? Big Mac said that she needs my help."

"No I haven't, sis," replied Applebloom as she was picking up a bucket full of apples.

In a split second, Applejack spotted Granny Smith and rushed to her.

"Granny, Big Mac said that ya need my help fer somethin'," she said.

"I do, dearie," said Granny, "I need you to help me make some apple pies for an Apple reunion."

"Sure thang," said Applejack as she smiled and adjusted her hat.

In the kitchen, she and Granny gathered out the ingredients and made several apple pies. It took a lot of time and hard work, but it was worth it. They were proud of their pies they baked.

A few hours later, it was time to hit the hay. Applejack couldn't wait to get some rest because of her hard work. As soon as she got on her pj's (not her blue onesie she wore at Pinkie Pie's sleepover), she yawned and slept. While she was sleeping, a barn owl hooted inside the barn with its nest with three eggs in it. It turned out that it was the mother barn owl, guarding her nest. Since owls are nocturnal, the father barn owl was searching for his prey while flying into the night sky. When he saw the window, he landed onto it and peeked inside the house, observing a sleeping cowgirl. The father barn owl went to her and nuzzled her left cheek lovingly. He didn't mean any harm, but he did mean any love. Still sleeping, Applejack felt her cheek being nuzzled by a barn owl and touched the father barn owl's head. When she felt his head, she woke up and saw him standing in front of her. Well she wasn't totally freaking out because her family had barn owls there. She was confused because Fluttershy had the ability to communicate with animals. She had never communicated with a barn owl before. The father barn owl hooted softly to her. Applejack didn't know what to say or reply, but she smiled anyway and stroked his head.

"Why'd ya fly over ta here, sugarcube?" she asked.

The father barn owl hooted back to her.

"I can't speak barn owl, but is that ya only wanted ta talk ta me?" Applejack asked again.

The father barn owl nodded in reply and dragged her to the window. It seemed to her that he also wanted to show her something. Maybe he wanted her to come outside and let him show her something? Applejack quietly ran downstairs and went outside to look for the father barn owl. The she saw him flying from the window to show her he was there. The father owl hooted to her, saying that he wanted her to follow him as he was flying. Applejack followed him to the barn and he flew inside of it. She went inside of it as well but it was too dark in there. She heard the father barn owl hooting to her. It came from right behind her so she turned around to look for him.

"I should've got a flashlight," she said, "It's back in the house somewhere."

Then she saw a gadget that looked like a heavy duty kind of a flashlight, picked it up and turned it on. It shined bright enough for her to see. She shined on the father and the mother barn owls together in their nest.

"Well ain't that cute?" said Applejack, "Ya also wanted ta show me that y'all have a nest inside the barn?"

The father barn owl nodded in reply and hooted to her lovingly. Applejack smiled as she saw him and his wife being together in their nest peacefully.

She yawned and said, "I better hit the hay. See y'all later, sugarcubes."

The father and the mother barn owls hooted to her and snuggled each other.

"Night y'all," Applejack replied as she was heading back to her house.

She went upstairs to her room, and went back to sleep. It was the first time making friends with the father barn owl. She couldn't believe that it happened to her, and didn't expect it to happen. Well no matter, it was her first barn owl experience she ever had in her whole life, and her family would never believe this. And her friends would never believe that too.

While sleeping, Applejack began to dream of herself as the barn owl queen with barn owl wings like an angel. She had on a long white sleeveless dress with a golden copper ombre on the bottom, and had gold brass buttons conected to each sleeve strap. She also had the barn owl makeup on her face and a barn owl masquerade mask. Her lower legs and her feet became the barn owl feet. Three toes and black sharp talons. Her lower arms and hands have the design of the barn owl feet, but kept the five fingers on each hand. Her fingernails grew sharp and turned black. Her hair turned from blonde to the color of the barn owl's head. She had feather bracelets, anklets, necklace, and earrings. And as a final touch, she had the gold barn owl designed crown.

She was flying with her fellow barn owl friends into the early evening sky. They flew past the streets of Canterlot, Canterlot High, the Canterlot High outdoor stage, Crystal Prep, and all the way to Camp Everfree. She looked around and smiled. Her fellow barn owls hooted to her happily and nuzzled their heads against her. She laughed and petted their heads with tender happiness.
