SWWC Side Story 1: Caramel Strawberries?!

It's just a little spying

Load Full Story

Clear skies and the cool breeze, carrying the scent of the tree guided him to the spot. Caramel came upon a very different kind of fruit tree. The zap apples upon it were an extremely rare sight, but something even more unusual about them in general. Frist off, it wasn't even the right season for them. And this lone tree was found far from where the zap apples would grow. They were a very particular plant to keep alive, so finding one here at the furthest end of the farm, right next the Everfree Forest was quick bizarre.

Caramel was utterly alone with this tree and temptation got the better him. Rainbow Dash, Applejack and so many other had praised the incredible taste of the zap apples. And to find one all by itself made things hard to resist. He plucked a fruit off the tree and brought it to his mouth. The smell was even stronger than from a far.

For a moment he considered bringing the fruit to the Apple Family. Surely, finding such a strong and stubborn Zap Apple Tree would be quite the prize for the family, earning him much favor among their ranks. However, a greater urge compelled him. It was all too much for him to bear. It was just too much temptation for him. It was only one bite. It was all he needed to experience what Applejack had tasted.

He stopped at the thought. To be on equal level with Applejack with be the best thing ever. If he presented this, she might even look his way and not toward others. Her eyes were never his to hold and maybe he could have it if he offer this prize. Like that of a wedding ring. No, far to bold, just a promise of devotion.

He turned away from the tree to leave only for the temptation of taste to return. He turned back only to realize that he'd already consumed half the fruit. His eyes widened, all he did was sniff it before, not take a bite, right? His minds raced back over the short events leading up to now but none of them revealed him taking a bite. Just the temptation lay within his mind. He couldn't taste the flavor on his tongue or the feeling of ribe flesh on his teeth.

There was only the sensation of something far heinous. Slimy, slick and iron-like, a strange and compelling taste and told him to go back for more. However, upon turning around he found something he didn't see before. Stained at the bottom of the tree was red dust. The same shade as his hands, from the fruit. He realized then that this tree was coated in the same strange stuff found within inside the fruit.

Everything told him to run away right now. But the taste compelled him to stay in place. He bit down on the rest of the apple. Only to stopped at it hard core, cracking his teeth against it. The core resisted him, refusing him the rest of his meal. It forced vomit from his throat. It spilled all over the ground, puke mixed with red dust.

Once the entirety of the strange zap apple had been voided from his stomach, the temptation to eat more faded. The stallion felt normal again. Straightening his stance and admiring the tree again, He was still curious to show the rest of the Apple Family. Turning around, he rushed to find them only to crash into Granny Smith.

The old mare smashed him across the face with her cane. Not giving a single word before moving over to the remains of the strange zap apple. His eyes widened as she smashed it over and over until there was no fruit left behind. Just the seeds, shining like that of diamonds. She didn't pick them up, instead, she scrapped some ground out of the way and shoved them in with her cane.

Once finished, Granny Smith turned back to him with a furious rage. "Damn fool, your soul was nearly consumed by the power of those seeds." She spat on the ground next to him. "If I hadn't shown up and crushed 'em, you would be possessed by the devil herself.

"What do you mean?" Caramel pulled himself out of his daze.

"The Pale Mare!!" Granny Smith screamed while pointing at the tree. "She claimed all the zap apple tree nearly the Everfree Forest." She looked at him, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him. "We grow zap apples at the far side of the farm for the sole purpose of keeping them far from her will. As degreed by our ancestors, five thousand years ago. The Great Gold D Apple pasted down that creed upon the grave of his own brother."

"I-I'm so sorry." He said in a daze.

Granny Smith frowned at the branches already growing from the seeds she buried. "And don't you ever think of touching those damn seeds again!" He could only tremble under the gaze of the elder mare. Soon enough though, the mare caved, knowing he was just a weak fool under the tree's power. Caramel was just a farmhard, not of the Apple Family so of course he couldn't fight the powerful spell of these demonic zap apples. She took him into her arms and padded his head.

"How about you take a break from the farm? Just for a few hours." Granny Smith assured him.

Caramel nodded, thankful for her help. "But what about Apple Bloom and Applejack? Don't the need help right now."

"That is why I was looking for you in the first place." Granny Smith pulled away from the tree and back into the fields, far from it. She slapped him across the face again to ensure any connection still remaining was gone. "Sorry, Apple Bloom is out with her friends, something about wanted to talk to a cute stallion. Applejack has been busy searching for Twilight Sparkle." She stopped and turned left and right, knowing the perfect mission to keep him far away from the farm until all effects fading completely. "Big Mac can take over your duties for today--"

Caramel stopped her with insurances, "I can handle the work." he didn't like the idea of leaving right in the middle of the day. He never liked being a lazy stallion. Plus, what would Applejack think if she caught him doing nothing.

"But I have... a better job for you." Granny Smith smirked before guiding Caramel to the road leading a certain house that she despised as much as that strange tree. "This job will be an easy one."

"I don't want easy!" Caramel protested

"Too damn bad." Granny Smith shoved him onto the road and closed the gate behind him. "Think of this as a direct command from the entirety of the Apple Family."

Caramel tried to keep going back, but the gate locked and barred him entrance. He hammered his hands against it until he was too tired to go on. With a defeated sigh, Caramel took a moment to gather his thoughts and finally gazed out upon the road before him. "Fine, what is the job?" he asked Granny Smith.

"I need you to spy on the Apple Family's greatest rivals, the Strawberry Farm." Granny Smith said in an amused tone. "I want you to find out anything and everything you can about them."

"Okay..." He raised an eyebrow to this strange duty. The stallion wanted a different task, but her cane shoved him further from the the farm and in the direction of the Strawberry Farm.

"Every detail now." She waved him off. "And do it without stepping one foot inside her house!!"

******

Caramel came across the Strawberry Farm much quicker than he thought. The gates were left open and unguarded. The place had been completely empty, just how he expected. But his gut kept reminding him of the time he nearly died under a strange tree. It would be best to just make sure he didn't get caught by the wrong element this time.

However, upon arriving at the backside of the farm, his eyes widened at the feeling of the backdoor opening so easily. Was the mare content with safety? No, something had off. He lingered over the farm and thick droves of strawberries and slowly assumed she had to be out working the field. Shrugging his shoulders, he quietly walked inside and looked around. There was some newspaper clipping and some fresh fruit in a bowl.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, but he couldn't be sure. The Apple family had charged him with a heavy responsibility. and thus entered deeper into the house in order to find any dirty secrets about the mare. Caramel searched the entire kitchen and living room and found nothing hateful or discerning aimed toward the Apple family. Maybe they were just overacting about things. They were a very stubborn family after all.

As Caramel was about to leave, a loud creaking sound echoed from the floor above. He jumped behind the couch, assuming somepony was still inside. However, despite the sound continuing, nopony approached. His eyes shivered over to the staircase and noticed that the room at the top had popped open. Listening closer, revealed the creaking sound was coming from there.

He realized that he never searched the upstairs at all. Not wanting to disappoint the Apple family and Applejack especially, he approached the stairs. Carefully walking up each step, his ears perked up at new sounds coming into focus. They were faint but sounded like...moaning.

The stallion waved his head back and forth before retracting his steps. Somepony was clearly in the house now and going any further would be pushing boundaries. His job was to simply steal information and dirty secrets about Strawberry Sunrise. He turned around and stopped once he heard a deep, heavy moan come from upstairs.

His back shivered and a feeling grew in his pants, urging a curiosity. It got the best of him and he slowly ascended the steps. As he was on the final step, the sounds became much clearer and his face grew red. Peaking his eyes through filled his senses with such a sight.

Strawberry Sunrise was in the room, fully exposed and lying on the bed with her hands between her legs. Caramel gulped down a mix of horror, embarrassment, and saliva, not sure how to proceed. He was an intruder in her house, watching in utter shock as she satisfied herself. It wasn't until her body began shaking and the moans grew louder, did he realized that he was being a complete creep.

He had to get out of there and forget everything that he just saw. However, his tail knocked at the door, creaking it open more and catching her attention. She sat up, pushing away her desires, and called out, "Hello!!"

Caramel covered his mouth and hid behind the door more, hoping she didn't see him. He held his breath as the bed shifted, soon enough she went back to moaning, leaving him with relief. But now, her urges were more intense, and with more of the door open, he got a greater view of all naked details.

From her soft and flexing feet to the tones of her legs and thighs. His eyes drifted up higher, craving a firm image of her thin belly and prized breasts, ending in her blushing cheeks and softer hair. He had seen her working on her farm before from far away. But he had never seen this mare so exposed. On top of that, she was mere meters from his reach.

The stallion had to fight every single urge inside him to not open the door more. Yet her moans seemed to drive his limbs about. He grimaced as his hand drifted over his body as if it were her hands moving over him instead. He bit his lip and closed his eyes and his hip bucked forward. His own desire was growing more apparent and was threatening to blow his cover.

"What the fuck?!?!" Her screams followed the door creaking outward more and revealing him.

He opened his eyes again and his pupils were met with a beautiful sight. Strawberry was sitting back on the bed and her legs were wide open. He was able to get a clear look at her private, wet parts and the fluids that coated them. Suddenly reality hit him as he saw her face, looking directly at him.

She quickly shut her legs and covered herself up with one hand, asking in an angered tone, "What are you doing here?!" With her other hand, she pulled a large shot up and roared with the same intensity he only ever heard from Applejack. "Who the fuck are you?!"

Caramel put his hands up, begging for her to wait, "I-I-I didn't mean anything by it! It was Apple Family's idea to spy on you--" He stopped and jumped out of the way as the gun went off.

"Don't you dare speak the word, Apple, in this house?!" She jumped out of the bed and pumped her shotgun again. Racing over, she planted the thing right against his head.

His eyes shivered as the cold metal rubbed against his forehead. The mare had a burning rage and a thirst for vengeance in her eyes. He begged, "Please! I'm not your enemy."

"Then who the fuck are you? Pear, Carrot?! I'll put a bullet through if you're fucking Apple!!" She swung the barrel back and forth, her finger tripping over the trigger, ready to take his head clean off.

He knew deep down he had failed his mission. He done so many things wrong. "Caramel!" The stallion stopped upon smelling a familiar scent. Turning toward the desk beside, his eyes widened at the same strange looking zap apple fruit. A single one, just like before, but far more eaten than he had gotten his. "How?!"

A gunshot stopped him from reaching out, tearing across his cheek. "I asked your name!!"

"Caramel," the stallion stated once again, "I'm just a farm hand under the Apple Family."

"How the fuck did you get inside my house?!" Her words cut shorter as she saw his eyes on the fruit again.

"They hired me to get some dirt on you," he explained, "Please don't shoot me!!" He was stopped as she dropped the barrel and pumped out the bullet.

Strawberry stared at him with an unreadable expression. Slowly, she pointed the shotgun up and asked, "So you've found this kind of zap apple before too!!"

"No," he lied only for her to bump again, scaring into truth. "Yes, I've tasted it."

She then smiled and lowered the gun, "Good, 'cause if you didn't, I would have to shoot you." She then walked away, leaving him with confusion.

Caramel looked around before following her, asking, "Wait, you're not going to tell the police, are you?"

She laughed and put the gun into the closet, "Of course not, I hate cops even more than those Apples."

"But," He jumped around as she pushed him back into the room, "If you know who I work for, why don't you call them out."

"Because I'm not done with you yet!" Strawberry locked the door and got up right in his face, pressing her large breast against his clothing

"What are you talking about--" He was stopped as her hands gripped the rim of his belt and undid the buckets.

"You see, I've been studying that fruit for a long time." She leaned right into his face. "My family has wanted that fruit under their control for centuries." She gripping tight on the rim of his pants. "I've manage to learn so much more than the rest of my family thanks to a certain way of studying it."

"No, no, no!!" he was shocked just how erect he already was. The mare laughed with his blush as the wide member bounced against her cheek.

She stroked it and commented, "The fruit has hypnotic properties which can be countered by only two things." She kissed the tip, earning a light moan, "Pain... and desire." Dragging her tongue down the length, she removed his boxers and pants down over his boots. "It's just hard to believe Applejack would take such a chance of losing prizes and both counts."

"Please, I'm begging you--" He was forced to stand there with her taking the tip in her fingers. "I don't want to learn anything about the fruit!!"

"But you're the first stallion I've found that survived knowing its existence." She pinched and twisted her finger inside. "It's the reason why both the Apple, Carrot and Strawberries are headed by mares." She then licked the side, tasting a slight hint of the fruit that was still in her system. "That Granny Smith must send you away as soon as possible to remove any chance of it stealing your soul."

She pumped her finger more and more, dragging it along his length. "Just think about it." She gave another deep kiss on his tip. "We could make a deal... maybe we could share in the knowledge of the strange zap apple."

Caramel gasped and moaned, feeling a heavy desire taking over his body. "For the Apple Family..." He looked down at her and could see the hint of a smile forming. Her eyes narrowed and squeezed his balls so tight.

"You've been a naughty stallion, this is only for the Strawberry Family!!"

"Please stop this," he begged as the pleasure was starting to win him over. "I was just sent here to spy!!"

"Now don't lie to me." Strawberry continued to tease him. "You're just as curious as I am? And besides, they don't love, appreciate, or doesn't deserve you," She dropped her jaw wide. "And Applejack especially doesn't have any care for the taste sweet of a Caramel!" With that, she dropped her mouth over him.

Her warm saliva coating his member, sent the stallion back, gasping. He had never felt anything so wet and smooth. His hips moved a little, but the mare pulled back but kept her jaws in place. The mare made up with his hard member, bringing more size and effort to his desires. She pushed his dick against her cheek, letting it press into her teeth.

"Oh... Applejack--" He was stopped as she bit down hard.

His eyes widened as her eyes pierced his with a hateful gaze. Soon enough she continued, stroking her jaw up and down the shaft, earning his complete relaxation. Her tongue dragged along the base and circled the head, making the member twitch and throb. The more this continued, the more his mind became lost.

"Oh fuck!" he moaned as she bobbed her head faster.

She pushed herself to take more of his size and her lips wrapped tight around the base. The stallion could feel her warm spit dripping off his sack and down her chin. His legs shivered, not believing the sensation.

This morning started with the Apple family's cruel demands. Never once did he ever consider that this was how his day would go. However, with her skills, he didn't even care. Their words meant nothing as his hands drifted over her mane. He pushed his fingers through her hair, earning laughter from her.

She didn't stop him as his finger dug down. The mare gave no effort to fight as his hips bucked into her jaws. Never once did she choke as his tip broke through her throat. Her gag reflex was non-existent, as his thighs fucked back and forth. Her eyes gazed up and met his own. The mare wasn't fighting at all. If anything, she was begging him to break her mouth.

"Oh Strawberry!!" he moaned her name.

His hips jerked quicker, slamming into the back of her throat. Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned scarlet as her body shook. Drool spilled down her chest, wetting the floor. Caramel knew he should pull over, but she wouldn't allow him. His member was being held in place, forcing him to confront the inevitable. Her warm saliva, the texture of her mouth, and the way her tongue danced drew him in.

The stallion wasn't going survive much longer. She grasped his legs, inviting him to take control. Caramel wasn't the type to be so pushy, but this mare was bringing a raw, primal yearning to the surface that he'd never felt before. His body was moving on its own and his mind was lost in the pleasure.

"I'm sorry!" As his edge was shattered, Caramel begged the Apple Family asking forgiveness.

She couldn't react since her mouth was full of sperm. His cum streamed down her mouth, filling up her stomach. His hips continued to move, as if he wanted to get every last drop into her. Strawberry's eyes widened as he pushed his sperm up her nose.

"Yes, yes!!" He drew her in close, his balls resting against her chin. A tinge of remorse crossed his mind, but it quickly vanished as he heard her drink it all down with ease. His eyelids rolled back, and her body shook beneath him.

The mare was in utter delight. True astonishment that the Apple Family would let this coveted seed slip through their fingers. Her fingers dug into his skin, and her toes curled into the wood. Her private juices spilled into a little puddle.

She yanked her throat off as the stallion finished into her mouth. His seed was pouring from her lips, and her tongue was protruding from her mouth. Her chest was moving in time with her gasping. But it was her smile and her eyes that caught his attention the most.

Caramel was still trying to recover his breath as she rose up and dragged him to the bed. Her arms were weak, and her voice was cracking, but she was in so much lust. He was conflicted once more as she drew him along. The Apples would not tolerate lying with the enemy. His stride was still strong and increasing by the second as she removed his shirt and licked his chest.

Strawberry Sunrise enjoyed the sight of his gleaming biceps beneath her tongue. The taste was amazing, and she would never have guessed it came from someone who labored under the Apple Family's severe conditions. Her hands were going over him, eventually squeezing the thick muscles. His mane was so smooth and shiny and the smell was a mix of the farm, but not that sickly sweet that the Apples always had. "Take a shower often."

"Every single day, wanted to impress the main mare there." Caramel flushed as he realized he had unwittingly revealed his affections for Applejack. This adds to his betrayal, as her greatest opponent draws his face closer to hers.

"Well, you better keep clean from now for a very different reason." Strawberry leaned into his mouth.

"And why is that--" He came to a halt when she stole a quick kiss from him.

"Because if I smell an ounce of Apple flavor on you, I'm going to shoot you in the mouth with my shotgun. And the explosion will be considerably more intense than you were in my mouth just minutes before." She leaned back and helped him into bed.

Caramel took a hard gulp and followed her actions, more conflicted than ever. She was so damn hot and lustful for him, but damn this was one mad and murderous bitch. If things ended badly after this, the Apple Family might not get the chance to punish him. But that was something he couldn't focus on as she opened her legs and invited him inside.

It was a tighter fit than he expected. A mare giving herself to the random stallion that broke into her house should have been a massive whore with a pussy that was beaten bare. Judging by how much her pussy grasped around him, either it had been a while since somepony had tapped her, or she was still a virgin. No, not with that mouth.

Her legs were wrapped tightly over his back, preventing him from backing away. Her arms drew him in closer, her fingers pushing into his hair. There was no doubt that the mare was a wild one, and the Apple Family could never have predicted her behavior. Even though she hadn't popped in a while, her hips smashed against him like an expert.

Caramel felt his balls striking on her ass and his member being pinched by her pussy. The stallion couldn't hold back, allowing his body to be commanded. It was a strange, exhilarating, and terrifying sensation. His heart was pounding and his head was spinning. Yet, his mind was completely blank as his body did what felt right.

"Caramel!" Strawberry shouted out to him and buried her heels into his backside. Her pussy was tightening and his manhood was beginning to throb.

"Yes..." He whimpered between gasps.

"Take command already!!" Strawberry mocked him.

He was taken aback by her statements and exclaimed, "What?!"

"Don't be shy," she said as she smacked her hips into his.

"But, Applejack--" He came to a halt when her nails drove into his flesh.

"Fuck her and the Apple Family!" With a devilish grin, she demanded. Strawberry sat up and wrapped her arms around his back, resting her hips on him. "Now, shatter me... Break me like that stupid family never could."

Caramel inhaled deeply and clutched her hips. Her statements were making sense, and the Apple Family would never provide him with such happiness. Applejack was usually rushing about and distracted. That mare could never want him the way this mare did. His ideas had vanished, and his lust had taken control.

Strawberry laughed as he began to buck into her with more considerable effort. The stallion was being a bit rough and was getting the point. Her legs brushed up against his sides, and his fingers dug into her silky fur. She was losing her grip on him, but his grip on her was strengthening.

His mouth was open, and his breathing was becoming labored. His balls were slamming harder on her skin, letting her know how much she was in for. Caramel was doing everything he could to give her what she desired. It was a strange sensation, but the more his cock glided in and out, the more he became addicted to it.

"Show me what those legs can do!" Strawberry sighed.

He grumbled as his speed increased. Her laughter rang in his ears, and her moans echoed off the walls. The two bodies shook the bed with considerably more force than she'd felt in years, threatening to shatter it. He couldn't stop himself as his gaze was drawn to her.

Her nipples were erect, and her entire body was drenched in sweat. He could feel her bodily fluids spilling all over his crotch, and the sounds were becoming more obscene by the second. He grabbed a nipple into his lips and bit down without saying anything.

"That's it, break me like those trees on the farm!!" Strawberry screamed and started clawing down his back.

His hips were moving at breakneck speed. It was unlike anything he'd ever done. This was something that neither the Apple Family nor Applejack could provide. He was finally seeing the light, but he couldn't stop himself from being dragged deeper.

Her body shook and her eyes rolled back. Strawberry could feel him pushing away more of her defenses and kissing his tip against her womb. It was an experience unlike anything she had felt in a long time. Her fingers scratched him harder, and her teeth grinded together.

"Caramel!" She cried his name and her body arched back.

Dropping one hand down her ass and elevating the other for greater control. The stallion pushed her into position, escalating her climax. Caramel crashed into her hips so fiercely that the echo was audible from across the room. Her barriers were tightening, but the stallion was keeping his edge and breaking through them. Caramel was determined to see this mare perish before allowing his own impulses to take over. She was trembling and her breathing was labored.

"Don't stop, don't stop!!" She pleaded louder, unconcerned about the volume.

Caramel was delighted to oblige, moving his mouth to her throat and licking it. His thrusts became more powerful, and his hips collided with hers. The stallion was determined to win her over, and his efforts were bearing fruit. She was losing herself in his touch, and the sound of her moans filled his ears with joy. Words soon become meaningless to her joyous shouts.

The stallion was unprepared for the moment her walls finally gave way and her juices gushed. Her walls relaxed, allowing his dick free reign. His length tore into her womb and bulged against her tummy. Strawberry couldn't move as her orgasm took over her body and left her head blank.

He could thrust more quickly, and the room was filled with moist slaps. The stallion could feel the heat rising from her body, and his cock throbbed. She stopped screaming and simply laid in his arms until he was finished. He couldn't hold out any longer and his balls couldn't contain the load he had prepared.

He only had a split second to get out of the mare. As his seed exploded over her body, he dropped her onto the mattress. The stallion's sperm rained down on her, turning her yellow coat white. His cock was pulsing, and his mind had vanished, consumed by the ecstasy. Caramel slumped against the bedframe, listening to her panting as his drowsiness swept him away. The last thing he saw was the strange zap apple and beyond it, floating in the window, the visage of the Pale Mare.

******

Caramel's phone rang a few hours later. His eyes glowed, and the world came back into focus. When he saw the phone being given to him, his eyes became blurred by the caller ID. When he answered the phone, he was greeted with an irate voice.

"You've been gone for hours." Granny Smith's voice could be heard over the phone.

"Yeah, I couldn't find any dirty secret!" Caramel responded. "You were wrong, Granny, she wasn't hiding anything at all."

"No, that mare and her whole family is pure evil!!" Granny Smith hissed angrily.

"Whatever you say..." He sounded very disoriented.

"You know, you'll never win Applejack's heart with that dismissive nature." He was chastised by her.

"Don't be concerned. I can search the land as many times as I need to." Caramel laughed with a soft grunt. "I will find the proof."

"Just be careful. Don't want anything to happen to such a loyal farmhand." Granny Smith replied. "Especially after the effects of those demonic zap apples."

"Yeah, yeah..." His voice got harsher. "Oh, yeah... I got to hang up now..." Caramel was losing his breath. " Somepony coming--" He closed the phone and went right back to bucking his penis between Strawberry's large breasts.

"She called you loyal..." Her eyes dilated and her jaw clenched. She clenched her chest tighter, making his thrusts work harder. "She doesn't even know the half of it..."

"She practically raised me..." He panted and kept sliding his cock against her. The horse hung up the phone and bit into the odd zap apple slice. "But I will never betray you... or this taste."

Strawberry was overjoyed to witness a shift in his demeanor, and her body was primed for another round of his thick cock. He was a rare breed, surviving not only eating the fruit several times, but also acquiring control of his desires while subject to its will. Strawberry could not believe she'd gotten so lucky. It wasn't a surprise that the Apple Family would have him on such a tight leash. But she was more than ready to rip that off and make this stallion her's alone. Her tongue licked the head and tasted his pre-cum, earning a gasp from him.

Strawberry teased, "Good boy," and his cock throbbed at her compliment. "I always wanted a strong, young, loyal stallion by my side for the plan."

"I will do anything for you," Caramel stated firmly.

"Prove it..." She grinned and popped her own slice of the odd zap apple into her lips, her eyes gleaming with evil purpose. She stepped back and let him go. He groaned and blasted semen all over her again. Caramel's mind raced as his seed splattered on her breasts, face, and mane, ending up on the sheets. The mare licked the sperm, sighing at the taste.

Caramel was taking a deep breath. "I'll bring those zap apples to you." If you promise me a ring when this is finished."

"Don't get too bold... not yet anyway."

The Pale Mare has long been known for its mysterious and sometime demonic nature. Its pale and decaying form and static covered face, earning it a place in ancient mythology and folktales. It is said that the Pale Mare's mere presence can bring misfortune and tragedy to any environment. However, the feeling was different by the barbaric sounds of the house it was floating by.

Her haunting nature was halted by twists of embarrassment as the moans behind her increased in volume and intensity. She listened to their lewd cries, trying to ignore them. She facepalmed as their words and actions, knowing they are simply trying to study the gift she gave them. Though, the never considered they would use the fruit's weakness of desire in such a disgusting way.

She sighs, shaking her head. It's not as if she was able to saying anything to say to them. She knew that this is something they had to do on their own. Even if that means doing the most shameful act they can. "Once I'm free from this accursed scape, I am going to kill that King!!" She yelled out loud, knowing reality could never hear her. It never could in these thousands of years.

Only a certain few could see her without the fruit. Her faithful servants and her enemy, the King himself, but never anyone else. Her ears flicked at a new noise and the static eyes flipped around until they spotted Applejack in the distance. She mused far away from the barbaric noise and over above the Apple mare. Her hands clenched at the fear in the mare's eyes and panic in her voice. "Damn it, Applejack. You won't find her." The ears flicked at the other ponies in town looking in vain too. "Damn it, none of you will find her at all."


Author's Note

This is meant to explain how Strawberry got a hold of the diamond zap apples. As to how she got to the Everfree Forest with them, that will be explained in her section of the anthology, alongside Caramel.

Also, yes. The final section connects directly back to the main story. So if you want to know where Twilight is, who is the Pale Mare and so much more. Go over and read Something Wrong With Canterlot.
