Sweetie Belle and Applejack

Chapter 1

We start with Applejack.
She stands on four hooves as she is a stubborn pony.
Those hooves keep her rooted to the ground as a force pushes her back.
She refuses to budge.

The pony pushing her has a cruel mind and speaks accordingly "Fall to the ground!". It is Sweetie Belle of course, jealous of Applejack's bright red apples. Sweetie Belle is small and cannot push very hard. To overcome this disadvantage Sweetie Belle plans to use her unicorn magic.

The ground cracked beneath Applejack in response to their aggressive conflict.
Stepping backwards would go against Applejack's principles. In addition, it would cause her to fall to her death. Sweetie Belle spoke "You! Applejack! In killing Apple Bloom, you have ruined the organisation that was 'The Cutie Mark Crusaders'. You will suffer".

Applejack retorted "That doesn't make sense. How could I have killed Apple Bloom? Isn't she my sister?".

Sweetie Belle smirked "Fine, play innocent".

Now, it is at this point that Sweetie Belles untamed powers burst forth. Her horn is ablaze as a massive kinetic force overtakes Applejacks body. As a result Applejack is thrown off the edge of a cliff.

Applejack falls and lands head first in the river below. She is not dead; but she is wet. A wet coat is something Applejack views as tolerable; though there exists a small injustice in being the only pony who is wet. To right this injustice Applejack ambushes an unwary Sweetie Belle who had just appeared at the waters edge. Sweetie Belle is now in the water and is also wet.

Sweetie Belle splashes and complains that she will perish as she cannot swim. Applejack places Sweetie Belle back on the land and eyes her with suspicion. "I thought you could swim".

Sweetie Belle remarks "The situation would have been smoother if the water did not flow rapidly. In addition, fear of the approaching crocodiles reduced my mobility".

It is at this point that Applejack is confronted by many a crocodile. Naturally, Applejack produces a long rope to use as a lasso. Applejack notices one crocodile lift it's head above the water and quickly catches it with her lasso. Leaping on top Applejack is able to ride the crocodile. It is feisty, but Applejack manages to get the crocodile to jump over the others. Applejack rides it over to a grassy bank.

To Applejack's surprise Sweetie Belle is not present. This is due to Sweetie Belle finding Applejack's adventures too slow paced and boring. Sweetie Belle rushes to a nest of newly hatched eagles in search of amusement. A reptile appears from a hole in a nearby rock. It attempts to steal a hatchling, but the attempt is in vain as Sweetie Belle muzzles it with force great enough to scare it away. Sweetie Belle becomes a hero in the eyes of the eagle chicks.

The cutie-mark that is now visible on Sweetie Belle's flank says "Lizard Slayer". The eagle mother lands and Sweetie Belle smiles. It is now revealed that Ponyville's prankster Rainbow Dash, was present all along. For the crocodile that Applejack rode was none other than Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash's life-like crocodile costume combined with her legendary acting abilities made for an impressive camouflage.

Sweetie Belle decides to rush back to the riverbank in search of Applejack. Sweetie Belle feels guilt for arguing with Applejack earlier. To make amends, Sweetie Belle must catch Rainbow Dash in her act of deception. As Sweetie Belle arrives at the bank of the river, she is dismayed to see no crocodiles present. Applejack stands alone, in deep thought. Sweetie Belle exclaims "I got my cutie-mark!".

Applejack snaps out of her trance, she seems worried. "Sweetie Belle, I'm very confused. I'm trying to figure out how to get back to Ponyville".

Applejack explains "If we swim up the river, we will be eaten. Alternatively, we could try climbing the cliff you threw me off, but it's towering and steep". Applejack continues "My current idea is that you use your horn-thingy to throw me back up the cliff".

Sweetie Belle has a better solution "Don't worry. I can slay the crocodiles. It is my special talent".

Applejack uses her teeth to grab Sweetie Belle by the tail as Sweetie Belle attempts to dive into the water. "Whoa, Nelly!" Applejack spits Sweetie Belle's tail out "First, would you mind explaining how you got to the bottom of the cliff. It seems an odd thing".

Sweetie Belle blushed "Ah... It's a long tale involving lizard-slaying and time travel". Applejack replied "Well, I'm listening".
