Applejack just finished singing "Beat It" by Michael Jackson and the students of Canterlot High went wild instantly over her performance, including Lyra and Bon-Bon. She came down from the stage, gave the microphone to the announcer woman and went toward the two other top singers, namely Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
"And now the judges will decide who will be the second runner up, the first runner up and the winner," said the announcer woman, "Yes this is the special moment we're not gonna miss!" After the decisions were made by Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna and Dean Cadence, who were the three judges, she got the result sheet from them. "Alright! The long awaited moment: the award ceremony!" she said as she was reading it, "Each one of the top three contestants will receive an award and stand still until the winner gets the award. Alright let's get started! The second runner up is Rainbow Dash, who sang 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns 'n' Roses!"
The students clapped and cheered as Rainbow went up to the stage, got a second runner up award and stood still. She got a little annoyed but she accepted her award anyway.
"The first runner up is Pinkie Pie, who sang 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper!" the announcer woman said.
The students clapped and cheered as Pinkie went up to the stage, got her award and stood still too. She was as excited as she could be.
"And the winner of this year's Canterlot Singing Competition is Applejack, who just sang 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson!" the announcer woman said as she then turned to Applejack, who was coming up to the stage. "Congratulations, Applejack!" she said, "Or should I say, 'Applejackson'!" With that, she gave her a wink as a playful tease.
The students went super wild as Applejack got her award and stood still also. She didn't expect that to happen to her. After the Canterlot Singing Competition, she saw Big Mac, Granny Smith and Applebloom and went to them to show them her award.
The next day, Applejack was walking down the hallway. Lyra and Bon-Bon came to her and took her to an empty classroom to show her the video Lyra uploaded on VDO. So far, the video had 500 views, 70 likes and 11 dislikes.
"You did so awesome yesterday!" said Lyra, "Bon-Bon and I have a strong feeling that you're totally gonna be famous!!!"
"Yeah," agreed Bon-Bon, "You'll be in the covers and pages of magazines, appear in different commercials and movies, and also get to own your own home! There might be more than that but isn't that exciting?"
Hearing this, Applejack started to feel uncomfortable. "Not really," she replied with a frown, "I only wanted ta sing just fer fun."
"What are you talking about? You did awesome!" said Lyra.
"Thanks, sugarcube..." Applejack said with a sigh.
"Here," said Lyra as she gathered her and Bon-Bon together for a group photo on her cell phone, "Let's take a groupie."
After the three girls had their groupie, Applejack went inside of an empty classroom and sat down on the chair. Lyra and Bon-Bon sat down side to side of her. She still felt uncomfortable and troubled. Then she began to cry internally. Lyra and Bon-Bon knew what's going on with her, but they didn't know how else to cheer her up. Maybe they could get Pinkie to make her smile again.
