Apple Annie Oak Tree

Later that night, Franklin introduces Annie to Buffalo Billiard. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Billiard!" says Annie with a smile on her face as she shakes his hoof.

"Nice to meet you, too, Apple Annie," replies Buffalo Billiard.

"You realize this is a big step, small town girl to big time star, don't you, Annie?" say Buffalo Billiard and Franklin in unison. "But we can help you get there!" The two break into song. "Apple Annie, don't you see, there's no business like show business like no business I know, everything about it is appealing, everything the ponies will allow, and nothing is more pleasing than stealing that extra bow. There's no ponies like show ponies they smile when they are low. Now, let's go, on with the show!" Annie then joins in and the three begin to sing together. "There's no business like show business like no business we know, everything about it is appealing, everything the ponies will allow, and nothing is more pleasing than stealing that extra bow. There's no ponies like show ponies they smile when they are low. Now, let's go, let's go, on with the show! Let's go on with the show!" The three finish up the song and get back to just talking about the week's performances and stops. As they do, Apple Annie continues to get even more and more excited. She then begins to sing.

"I've wanted to be a star since I was a wee lass, now I finally get a chance. I get a chance to be a shining star. If maw and paw were alive, they'd be proud I got this far. Just imagine it now, I can see it now, I'm a star now and I'm going to be, the brightest star in the sky. I learned to use a pistol when I was five, a rifle when I was nine. I was using a lasso since the day I was born. Now I get to put those skills and tricks to use, now I only have more to win than lose. I'm gonna be a big star soon, I can't believe it, I can't believe it, my dream has finally come true!"

Once she finishes singing her song, she wishes the men a good night then heads off to bed. She may be excited, but she is tired. Once in her bedroom car, Annie takes off her hat and boots and hops into bed and falls fast asleep. Tomorrow is her first day working alongside Franklin and with that thought in her mind, she begins to fall into a deep, dream filled sleep.
