Can You Stop Progress?

by Thranx
Applejack is a traditional pony. She never likes not managing her farm the "Apple Way". However, as war looms over Equestria, she has a choice to make. She didn't like that.

Magic. An essence that has existed since Faust created the world and is inside every living being. Everypony knows that. Applejack knows that. Her farm was proof, after all. All of the Apple Family thrived because of it, their Earth Pony magic was their blessing. However, as peace crumbles throughout Equestria, ponies recommend her to adopt machinery to her farm, to help the war effort. She doesn't want that. But as the war progresses, she has to rethink and she has to choose.

Adapt or left behind?


She likes neither.
