Chapter 1: The Mysterious Oranges

For a Simple life as a farm girl, Applejack liked her life the way it is. Even if it's hard work for her and others, she still liked it and she won't change anything about it, even if she does like hanging out with her friends, family and being the Element of Honesty.

After taking some fresh apples she just got from the orchard to Ponyville Square, she rubbed some sweat off her forehead, happy to be going a good days hard work. "Thanks again Applejack!" "No Problem. It's always honest hard work!" Applejack replied to a stall owner as they began to sell her apples. Seeing everyone like the Apples from Sweet Apple Acres made her happy.

Just as she was about leave, she heard some commotion and complaining coming from some stalls. She headed there to see two fancy folk. Both have Blonde hair and Green Eyes like hers, but they were more fancier than hers. The Male had a very fancy black suit, very fancy dress shoes and an Orange Tie with some skin peeling off it.

The Woman was wearing a very fancy dress Orange Dress that open on one side. Her hair was in a beehive style. She had jewellery, which included an Orange Pearl bead neckless, some rings, including one which had an Orange Diamond as the pendant.

"So my dear, does anything here tickle your fancy?" The Man said as his wife just looked at what was around the market, only to turn them down in disgust. "As if there was, dear, this garb does not bring out my true beauty!" His Wife replied. As they both decided to leave, Applejack's younger sister, Apple Bloom was chasing her ball that her friends were playing with, only to walk in front of both of them. "Watch it, you little brat!"

Applejack saw her sister was now standing in front of both of them, as she thought it was bad news. "S-Sorry, but my friends didn't think the ball that hard and... " Just before she could finish, the Man then sneered at her. "You will not speak to my wife like that, you little runt!" Just before he could slap her, Applejack then grabbed his hand, to protect her young sister. "And just what do ya' think your doing, goin' to harm my lil' sis like that?"

He then pulled his hand away from her, as both looked at her in disgust. "Ugh, a country Farm girl! Don't you think of going near me!" The Wife replied in disgust. "If y'all would of listened, she would be tellin' the truth!" "T-Thanks, Big Sis." Apple Bloom replied, as the man was wiping his hand with a clean cloth. "Hmp! Well, if there is nothing here for my dear, we both better be off!" Both then decided to walk away, as they then looked back at Applejack. "And just remember, this is not over for you, Apple Farm Girl!"

Once they were gone, Applejack just realised how much they were into Oranges. "Yeesh, they're not much into us poor folk, but we won't have to worry about them again." "I hope so too. Those Fancy Folk were a a little short of an Apple Patch, or in this case, an Orange Patch." Apple Bloom then laughed a little, as Applejack joined in as they headed back to Apple Acres.

But for something they didn't know was that both were still close by, as they realised Applejack herself. "Did you realise something about that Apple Girl dear? She is the Element of Honesty." "Yes yes, I know about them and their 'Friendship is Magic' ordeal. Why take an interest in a 'Country' girl?" His Wife replied, as she was getting the idea. "Maybe it is time to get ourselves our own little girl?"

====================================================================================================

The Next Day, Applejack woke up nice and early to get a few hours of harvest. Some more people in the market ordered some apples, which she was happy to bring to them. She was still remembering the 'Orange Folk' her and Apple Bloom faced yesterday. "If them Fancy Orange Folk ever try and hurt my Lil' Sis or anyone else close to me ever again, I'll make sure they get what's comin' to them!"

"We bet to differ, my dear." Just then, she was greeted by the same Fancy Orange people again, surprised to see them inside her Apple Orchid. "Oh no, you fancy lot again? What do you want with me now?" "How rude of us, we did not think of introducing ourselves before. I am Sharp Orangecut and this is my Wife, Orangejewel." "Charmed to an Country Apple Picker."

Applejack didn't think they would want to meet her after they're first meet in the Market. "Well, not glad to meet you two too. I'm Applejack." "No need to waist some words. We both know who you are. The Element of Honesty, the one who can never tell a little lie or fib." Applejack saw they knew who she was, even as the Element of Honesty. "Well, I'm kind of honered that y'all know who I am. But why come to me, around a farm you both seemed to hate?"

Both then chuckled as they then gave her an invitation. "We both would love to hear some of your stories as the Element of Honesty and about more on you." Applejack looked at the invitation, seeing they were only offering her, even after they were rude of her sister. "Well, I'm honered that y'all are invitin' me, but I would never go to anyone else's dwelling when they're rude to my own little sister!" "We will give her a very Special Apology if you agree to the Invitation."

As Applejack looked at the invitation, but also heard their offer to apologies to Apple Bloom. Not being rude, she took the invitation, which earned them a smile. "Perfect. We will give her a very special apology basket before our Departure." "Finally, away from these Filthy Apple Trees!" Applejack then glared at his wife, as both then left.

Once they did, Applejack saw Apple Bloom was given her Apology Basket, but saw it was mostly Oranges and other things that had Oranges in it. "They sure do love they're Oranges, don't they sis?" Apple Bloom said, looking at the Basket and what's in it in confusion, as Applejack looked at the invitation again. "Maybe I should do an off day tomorrow? Won't you do my work for tomorrow?"

Just then, Big Mac came outside and heard her offer, giving her his signature "Eyup." Once he said that, Applejack was going to be going to meet some fancy folk tomorrow.

====================================================================================================

The Next, Next day, Applejack looked at the invitation at where they lived, which was somewhere and another kingdom called 'Orangeton'. Weirded by the Villages name, she saw it was mostly Oranges that everyone liked and agreed too. Not any other fruit. As she walked around town, everyone glared at her, for being an Apple lover, but she just ignored them.

Once she got the address, she saw it was a large Mansion with some Orange in it, Obviously, and had plenty Orange Trees around the inside walls and guessed they had an Orange Orchid. "They really love they're Oranges here. Talk about 'apeeling' looks." She then chuckled at her own joke, as she made it to the main entrance of they're home. She gave the door a good knock, until a few Maids and Butlers answered it. "Ah, Ms. Applejack! the Lord and Lady were expecting you!" One of them replied to her, as they let her into the mansion and to another room.

It looked like the main living area, as both Oranges were just relaxing in their own way. Orangecut was reading a book about Proper Orange care and Orangejewel was having some Tea. "My Lord and Lady, Ms. Applejack is here." A Butler announced to they're Master and Mistress, as both knew she would arrive.

"Applejack our dear. Welcome to our humble home and to Orangeton!" "I am sure hopeful your trip was not too rough." Both Oranges welcomed Applejack to their Home and Town. "Well, my trip wasn't that bad, but the Towns folk here were a bit suspicious lookin' to and at me" "Don't worry about them. Our Town is not into outsiders unlike your precious Ponyville, including the Apple and Pear kind."

Applejack heard they weren't into the Apples and Pears, which were both her Family. "Hold up, how do you both know about my family?" Orangejewel then got up and walked over to her husband. "Because dear, we are your Cousins!" Applejack was then shocked. She had cousins that her family didn't tell her about? But are they Cousins they won't tell her about?

"A-Are ya sure? Very very sure your my real cousins?" "Indeed we are, dear. Your other families would not talk about us because they knew how much it will shock you" "Do not threat. We just want to know about how much you grown as the Element of Honesty."

After some short stories about her life this far, they were more interested in her time being Applejewel, just to snap Rarity out of her plan to get Tender's attention. "I tell ya both, that Tender Hoof is a one leave out of a stark, if ya know what I mean?" They were interested in her story this far, as they already knew who she meant.

"My, that is an interesting story. You also must be parched. Tea?" Orangejewel asked, offering her a cup. "Well, I mean I ain't much into this fancy drink, but if you insist." She then took the cup from her. "And Speaking of Tender Hoof, he's an Acquaintance of ours and to our Orange Company around the world." Orangecut said.

"Really? Well, at least he's busy." Applejack replied with a little joke as she sipped her Tea a little, which made them both smile. "Nice Drink, by the way."

"Thank you, dearie. But theirs another reason why we brought you here." Applejack then wanted to know. "You know, having this wonderful mansion, a good amount of Money and this... Staff as we call them, we desire something else; Our own child!"

Applejack was then confused. "Well, I mean ya both a couple, so why not... you know?" "If we wanted to, we couldn't wait for them to grow up, so as our Cousin, want to fill in that Hole for us?"

Applejack was confused at what they were asking, as she sipped and finished her Tea. "Look, ya both are... Interesting to be called my Cousins, but I love my life on the Apple Farm and near my friends. I'm sorry, but I have to say no. Anyway, I should be headin' home."

Just before she left, she fell on her knees, feeling a little weak. She looked up and saw the two of them smiling. "We thought you might say that, dearie." "But we weren't asking!" What they said was the last things she heard before blacking out.

Author's Note

Another Requested Story for someone else, which this is the start. I kind of know the relationship between the Apples and Pears a little, but the Oranges are kind of new and OCs... I think.( I just sound like I'm writing about two different fruit families)

Another thing is that the Requester has some Ideas and I might add some of my own, just like the first one.

Chapter 2: The Rise of Orangejack

After being knocked out by their Tea, Applejack woke up, hoping it was a dream, she then found herself inside a Bedroom which wasn't hers. It was mostly Orange, like the rest of the weird town she was in, and had some Pink, making it more girly. "What the Hay is wrong with these People? It's like they're expecting a child or somethin'?"

She got out of Bed and looked around, only to walk in front of a Mirror, seeing she was wearing something else. She was wearing a Pink Nightgown with a Orange Symbol on her right Breast and her hear was in a neat Bun under a Pink Nightcap. This almost felt like she was being Kidnapped by Rarity at one of her Sleepovers.

Just before she could think of escaping, both Oranges opened and the door, seeing her out of Bed. "You! What the Hay do you two want with me?" "My, someone is a little intense. Slept a bit rough, Honey?" Orangejewel asked her, thinking she was their Child. That Question made her confused. "Whut?"

"We just heard you walking around your room. Are you alright?" Orange Slice asked, which was the point she lost it. "Ok, you two better come clean right now! Because I'm thinking you want me as your kid!" Both knew they couldn't keep it a secret as she is the Element of Honesty.

"Fine. Even if your Element, you can look over someone's little lie!" "We are Acquittanced by Tender to capture you. He heard about our other business and wanted us to bring you here and make you one of us. Our own Daughter!" Applejack was really going to kick Tender Hooves to the Lands limits of Ponyville, better Equestria once she gets out of their Mansion.

"And just thinking of escaping and your punishment will be way worst than you can think of, deary!" Applejack then huffed, as she was then interested in their other Business. "What other Business? Y'all look like nice Orange Farmers."

Orange Slice then came clean again. "Let us just say even if we are Typical Orange Farmers, we are also Chemists at using Magic that can 'alter' ones memory. Care for a Demonstration?"

Orangejewel then brought out a bottle of Orange Dust and poured some of it on the palm of her hand. She blew it at Applejack's face as she tried to swat it away. That made it worst as it came towards her. Before she could think of not inhaling or Sniffing it, it was too late for that too. Applejack then felt weak as she fell into a deep slumber.

====================================================================================================

After what felt like forever, Applejack then woke up somewhere else, finding herself around Manehatten and looking down to herself, seeing she was the same age she was before leaving. "T-This is the year when I left Manehatten? How did I end up here?"

"This might be the past you will know, but not when we are done with it." Just then, she heard the voice of Orange Slice, which she then wanted revenge on them. "Whatever your doing, it won't work!" "Oh con trair, Darling, but remember, this is what WE want!"

"Last train to Ponyville leaving on a few minutes!" She then heard a whistle coming from the train station and headed towards the Station. She gave them how much to get onto the train and got on, not realising the Train was heading to Orangeton. This was what the Oranges were doing to her; rewriting her Past.

Once the train stopped at Orangeton, Applejack looked around, seeing it wasn't what she expected. "T-This isn't Ponyville?" "This is your final stop, but this is where we want you to stay!" Orangejewel replied to her. Before Applejack could get back to the station, some carriages then blocked her way as the driver of the carriage looked down at her. "Oi! What where your going!"

Applejack backed away, feeling a bit defenceless. She then decided to explore the town, since she just arrived yesterday in the real world. Everyone who lived their just stared down at her with cold looks, since she was new, just like from the real world. It scared her.

After wandering around the town for a while, she needed somewhere to sleep. She then saw the Mansion on top the hill, but she knew that is what they would expect. She decided to sleep down an alleyway like a homeless kid and try to find a way back to Ponyville. She then cried a little, thinking of what the Oranges were doing to her. "Why do this?"

"Why hello there, youngling." "I say why sleep down in this alleyway?" Just then, she heard familier voices and looked behind her, finding the Oranges again, but strangely enough, they still looked the same. She then backed away from them, not showing any weakness. "It's n-nothin'. Just until I can get the next train to Ponyville." She was feeling a bit cold and hungry, but she kept it well.

"The next train would not be around for another few days, so you might be needing somewhere to stay." Applejack then shivered a little, as she was feeling a bit cold. "Tell you want, why not stay with us for those few days? We have enough staff and the most fabulous food that you can ever dream off! What do you say?"

What they were offering was too much for her, as her Stomach then growled, which was her loosing sound. "We will take that as a 'yes'. Follow us." Applejack then looked down in defeat, never forgiving her stomach for showing weakness. She then followed them to their Carriage as it headed off back to the Mansion.

====================================================================================================

Once they returned to the Mansion, both Oranges were entertaining themselves, as Orangejewel was reading a book on fine Orange Jewellery and Orange Slice was playing a little bit of Chess by himself. Some Maids were helping Applejack wear something comfy. They returned with Applejack as she was wearing something new.

Unlike her original Farmer attire, she was now wearing an Orange Gown with some Pink Frills. She also had Pink Opera Gloves that reached her Elbows and, they couldn't be seen, but she was wearing Orange Heels. They also changed her Hairstyle, almost like when she was Applejewel, her hair was now in the Style of a Blonde Beehive, which was almost mistaken to be a real one. In it was a Hairclip that was like her Cutie Mark, except it was three Oranges instead of Apples.

Both saw what she was wearing as Orangejewel placed the book down and clapped a little. "Oh my, I did not think you would look so darling in that Dress." "It's a nice dress, but this feels a bit much." That's what she said to them, however, she was actually furious. She liked her old attire before, but this was too much.

"Nonsense! You look fabulous!" "You must be hungry after waiting this long? Come on, dinner is almost ready." Orange Slice said as they all headed to the dining hall. Once catching a glimpse of the food made Applejack drool a little, as she hasn't eaten after coming to the town. "Shall we?" Applejack knew they were asking her, as she answered. "We shall." She blushed a little, not knowing what came over her.

Once they dined a little, Applejack felt replenished after eating. Both knew they got her where they need her to be, as Orange Slice asked her something. "So my dear, enjoyed your Meal?" "Yes. I haven't eaten after comin' to this place. You have some top chefs workin' for y'all." They smiled after she said that, as they knew her Country slangs. "That is great to hear, darling, but we also have another proposal for you."

Applejack was then interested. "And that'll be?" "Would you make us both happy and be our owl little girl? I know we are not family, but you feel like one to us." Even if she met them in the real world, here was more insane to her. "I-I mean I'll love to, but I can't. I have my own dreams to live. My own life to live. I'm sorry." Her declining was a mistake to them.

"That is not the answer we were looking for! We think you need to know where you belong, Applejack!" Just before she could escape, some Maids grabbed her wrists and hoisted her up, preventing her from running away. Orangejewel the brought out the same Dust she used on her in the real world, wondering what would happen if it was used in her memories.

Orangejewel blew it at her face, which then changed a lot more of her memories. It made her remember things that weren't real. When she was born, about where she lived, her name, getting her Cutie Mark and most importantly; Her Parents. Orange Slice and Orangejewel, Her Captors... No, her Parents that treated her well and gave her everything from their wealth. Her own Job picking... Scuse me, Watching the employees pick Oranges from the many Orange trees as the one Apple... Who's that? Orangejack, the Daughter of the wealthy Oranges.

After more of her memories got rewriten, the Maids put her down on the chair as both Oranges looked down at her. "Honey, are you ok? How are you feeling?" ~~Apple~~ Orangejack then looked at them, laughing like a Noblewoman. "Ohoho, never better, dear mother and father!" Both knew they finally broke her and made her one of theirs.

"Hmp! I do not see any Orange Pie for Desert! Where is the Orange Pie!" She demanded so spoiled, as Orange Slice looked at the Butlers. "You heard her! Go fetch the Orange Pie!" Both Butlers went into the Kitchen, as both Oranges looked and smiled at their ~~Prisoner~~ Daughter.

====================================================================================================

Once the ~~rewriting~~ memory was done, Orangejack then looked back up at her Parents. "Mother, father, why are you two in my room this early in the night? I was clear that I was not suppose to be awake before the proper time in the morning!" She then ranted, as both her parents chuckled.

"Our deepest Apologies, Darling. We heard you walking around late and were worried." "But do not worry, we will leave you alone now. Get some good night rest, tomorrow will be a long day." Both her Parents sounded more Parenty to her, as she just gave a huff. "I hope you will get me everything that I want!" "Do not worry, with our Fortune, we will give you the world!"

Once Orangejack went back to sleep, both Oranges looked at each other and smiled. "I can not believe it worked! She now thinks she is our daughter!" "Oh no Honey, she does not thing she our daughter, She IS our Daughter! And she will think she is with that dust!" Orange Slice replied to his wife, as they were about to share a kiss. "To our loving plan?" "To our loving plan AND Daughter!"

Both then gave another chuckle as they both kissed before heading to bed themselves.

Author's Note

For someone like me who doesn't know much on the Mane 6's past, this Chapter came out well, except for the part where Applejack is now a Rotten Orange, but who am I to blame?

I do have more ideas for this Story too, such as everyone trying to get to Applejack so be on the look out.

Chapter 3: The Rottenest Orange of them All

After Applejack's Mysterious Disappearance when she went to Orangeton, Apple Bloom was with her friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, as their Group is known to be the Cutie Mark Crusaiders, she told them both about what happened before the disappearance. "I don't know, Apple Bloom. That sounds a little farfetched." Scootaloo replied to her.

"It's the truth! One day, these two fancy folk blame me for gettin' in their way, the next they invite Applejack to their town, another she never returns!" Apple Bloom then confermed. Since she was in close contact with the Oranges, she seen how rude and proud they were, which could make anyone hate them in an instant. "And their weird affection of Oranges, even if we're an Apple farm." She did bring the gift basket, as it showed the many food and treats based around Oranges, including actual Oranges.

"Maybe if you explain to Twi and her friends about what happened, maybe they could help?" Sweetie Belle requested, since they knew them, and also two were their Sisters.

Once they went to Twilight's Castle, Apple Bloom explained what happened before Applejack left. What she said could also be a clue, since they just realised Applejack disappeared too. "Even if that could be true, it's pretty rare to see others from another Town, and judging from the Cutie Map, Orangeton is a rivalling town to Appleloosa." Pinkie Pie then stepped in. "I kind of remember this from her, but she said 'them two towns love to argue their shoes off', whatever that means."

They knew she would say that. "Maybe if we talk to Granny Smith about them, then maybe we could find a way to find her?" Apple Bloom suggested, which they agreed too.

They headed around Ponyvilles Market to do a Another route to Sweet Apple Acres, that is until they heard a familiar Voice. They then saw Applejack, but they saw she was now wearing a Orange Dress and her hair being in a Blonde Beehive, also having a Hairclip with Three Oranges on it. "These Colours would look on me? HA! I won't even be caught dead in them!" Orangejack then Huffed.

After her outburst, the girls then felt scared. "I don't think that's our Applejack we use to know?" Rainbow Dash said. "It could be, but she would never wear anything like that." Rarity then added, which did catch Orangejack's attention. "Well I never! And what do you think of calling my style like that, Huh?!" Orangejack then picked a fight with Rarity, which then made Rainbow defend her. "Woah Applejack, you can't just yell at her for saying that."

Once she said that, Orangejack then huffed. "What did you call me?" Just then, they all got confused. "Who did you call me, Pheasant?!" "A-Applejack, is that you?" Just then, Orangejack then let out a loud laugh, which they saw she wasn't kidding. "I am not this 'Applejack' you speak of, I am Orangejack! The Daughter to the highly Rich Oranges of Orangeton!" Orangejack then replied to them loudly, which could be heard from Cloudsdale.

Twilight saw something was up, as she wanted to help. "O-Ok Applejack, somethings up with you. So, why don't we go back to the palace and..." "Daughter!" Just then, they were met by the Oranges, as Orangejack walked back to them. "Mother, Father, these lot think of me as someone else, but I made them know my name!" Orange Slice saw who she was yelling at, as he walked over to them.

"Apologies Princess Twilight Sparkle. Our little Girl could be a bit bratty and doesn't care for who's higher up or lower down then her." Orangejack then huffed for her 'Father' apologising to Twilight. "Even if she doesn't know about you or your stat, we'll be taking our leaves." "Don't worry, I'm not offended. Truthly, we thought she was our friend, Applejack. I mean she has her Eyes and Hair."

Knowing that they were getting close to the truth, the Oranges then left Ponyville and headed back to Orangeton. Once they were gone, the Mane 5 were then concerned. "Ok, I don't care if that was A.J. or not, no one can be a Snobby Brat to me or my friends!" Rainbow Dash then got mad. "Agree Darling. Just be glad Fluttershy wasn't here. If she did yell at her, she would break down crying, heart broken. The Poor dear." "Can't we see from what that was! They left quickly after Twi mentioned 'Applejack'. They must be the main cause of her acting strange!" Apple Bloom then ranted.

As they were thinking, Orangejack mentioned their names. "The Oranges? Never heard of them?" "Tell me about it. I just want our friend back." Rainbow Dash replied. "And my sister too. Maybe we could get some information from Granny Smith?" Apple Bloom replied, which the other Crusaders agreed, and also the Mane 4 too.

====================================================================================================

After that, they made it to Sweet Apple Acres, where fortuantly, Granny Smith was sitting on a rocking chair outside the main house. She was happy to see the Youngest Apple Member coming to see her. "Ah Apple Bloom and others. What brings you back here early?"

"Well Granny Smith, we need to know something about these weird people around the markets. They call themselves The Oranges." Twilight told her, which made Granny Smith go a little nuts and rant.

"The Oranges?! Why are those no good, rotten filled, snobby fools doing in our town?!" They were all surprised and scared to see her like this. "Them Rotten Oranges are no good, I tell ya! Even if us and the Pears are family, their Rivals for life! They almost made a war between Orangeton and Appleloosa!"

"Orangeton? That's where they must live! Let's go!" Twilight told everyone, but was stopped by Granny Smith. "I won't be goin' their if I were y'all. Even if they're Rotten, they are also clever and sneeky! They're dark Chemists and an use dust to brainwash anyone into being their rotten servants!" Granny Smith added.

Twilight thought about it and knew they had to plan out a way to, not just stop them, but also save Applejack in the process. "Well, magic dust is kind of a very rare from all around Equestria and making it is only special if your a Unicorn. The old Pillars tried to use it on Dragons to heed their greed, but that didn't work and almost caused a war." They didn't want to know more history on Equestria and were focused on Applejack.

"We can listen to Equestrian Fairy Tales later. Right now, A.J!" Rainbow Dash replied, as she was ready to head to Orangeton, only to realise she doesn't know where she would be going. "Where is Orangeton again?" "I would never tell y'all where that dirty town is! I'm doing this to protect y'all and..." "We can just look at the Cutie Map, you know." Twilight responded, butting into Granny Smith's ranting, but she saw they were determent to save their friend. "I won't be able to join, but I can give y'all hope, but I wish you all the luck I can give." Granny Smith told them.

"We'll come too!" "Yeah, if her sister is in trouble, we'll want to join in too!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were also determine to help, thinking Apple Bloom wanted to help get Applejack back. "I mean I wasn't planning on going, but I now want to join!" Some of the Mane 5 thought it would be risky, but they could use all the help they needed.

"Wait, what about Fluttershy?" Pinkie Pie asked. "She said something about hanging out with Discord?" Rainbow said to her. "Oh, I thought the writer didn't think of adding her?" She replied back, which they didn't ask too. Once they were set as a group, they headed back to the castle and planned out how to save their friend.

Author's Note

Being Truthal, I'm kind of not good at making someone sound Snobby or Bratty, but I'll still make it my best to try.

Anyway, the Mane 5 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are now planning on trying to find a way to get Applejack back from those Rotten Oranges!

Also about Fluttershy, what Pinkie Pie said was kind of true, but I kind of did put in a good excuse to why she's not in this story.

Chapter 4: Welcome to Orangeton

Author's Note

Apologies for the long Halt, I was getting on with my own life, including things on my Wattpad.

Chapter 4: Welcome to Orangeton

Confirming that the Weird Orange Family has done something to Applejack, who was now going as 'Orangejack', the Mane 4 and Applebloom went to Orangeton via the Train. As they were heading to the Town, the girls were thinking what was going on with Applejack.

"We knew Applejack for a long time, and she would never do or say anything like that to her own Sister." "I believe you Darling, but being honest, she looks good in that Dress. Should ask those Oranges about their Tailor." "AJ first, Fashion Later!"

Once Rainbow and Rarity started argueing about what should come first, Twilight went over to Applebloom, who was feeling doutful that her Sister doesn't remember who she was.

"Don't worry, Applebloom. Once we know what's wrong with Applejack, we'll snap her out of it." "I hope so too. When those Rotten Oranges came to town, they treated her like she did to me. But maybe with friends she does know, then you'll get to her."

Twilight saw Applebloom had hope in them to get Applejack, but was wondering what the Oranges did to her to make her behave like that.

"Next Stop, Orangeton!" The Conductor announced, which was their stop.

Once the train stopped at Orangeton's Station, the Mane 4 and Applebloom got off as they walked out of the Station and saw the Town of Orangeton. It looked like Appleloosa a little, but was way more... Orange and Oranges.

"Well, at least this place earned it's name." "Agree, but this is our first time here, so some of the Local's may not know who we are. In terms, we should act normal." "Oh c'mon Twi, your the Princess of Friendship and you have... well, three of the Elements of Harmony, so they'll know who we are!"

Pinkie's enthusiastic personality then got the attention of every resident who was walking around, as Rarity covered her mouth. After a quick stare, they all went back to what they were doing.

"Ok, just in case, Pinkie, can you please cool it a little?" "You got it!"

After Rainbow asked that, Pinkie gave a salute. They all explored the Town a little, seeing everything was just one fruit; Oranges. A lot of Stalls, Stores, restaurants and Cafes served Orange-themes Foods and Drinks, with Oranges as a bonus.

"Ugh, all these Oranges is making me sick. I could go for a Apple Cider when we get home."

Some of the residents who walked passed the mane 4 and Applebloom just glared at the Cutie Mark Crusader, which made her a little concerned.

"Relax Darling. If they do mess with you, they'll have to talk to me." "Really? This feels like when Sweetie Belle wanted to be my Big Sis's new Sis." "Oh yeah, that was a weird and really forgiving time for both of us."

Both gave a chuckle as the Mane 4 were thinking where the Oranges were living. Not too sure if they did live in the Town, their were also some Mansions for the richer residents. All of them looked the same, which made them confused which one it is.

"Every Mansion looks the same. How will we know which one is where those Rotten Oranges are living in?!"

After Rainbow complained, they still weren't sure, until Pinkie asked one of the Stall owners.

"'Scuse me, do you know where the Oranges live? Sharp Orangecut and Orangejewel?" "Those two? Sure, they live in the Third Closest Mansion over there." "Thank you!"

Once the Stall owner confirmed where the Oranges lived thanks to Pinkie Pie, the others didn't think they would be that honest, even if they didn't have Applejack with them.

"Did you girls get that?" "We did Darling." "Why didn't we think of asking?"

After an awkward silence, the Mane 4 and Applebloom headed to the Mansion in Question.

Once they made it to the Mansion's front gate, seeing it was defiently a Mansion where come richfolk lived in, making Rarity a bit jealous.

"Why does Applejack get to live in a place like this? Why didn't they ask me so I can be brainwashed?" "Oh my, that would be a tragedy!"

After Rainbow's Sarcastic comment, Rarity glared at the Rainbow Haired girl, as Twilight stopped them as she called through to the Mansion using the Intercom infront of the Gates. Once she buzzed it, a voice came from the otherside.

"Who goes there?" "Um... Mr. Orangecut, this is Princess Twilight Sparkle. Me and my friends are here to talk to you and your Family. Would you mind... letting us in?" "... Hold on a Moment."

Once Orangecut cuts off, the Gates opened up as the girls headed inside. Once on the main grounds of the Mansion, they saw it would be something where rich people would have. They then noticed a lot of Cars they had, all Orange, until they found one that was Red instead.

"Huh, wonder who owns that one? I'm seeing way too much Orange!"

Rarity thought about the Car, thinking it was connected to when she was picked for a festival and to also please Tender Hoof, who got interested in Applejack instead, which when released way too much events from before, even if both her and Applejack had to act like her and Vice Versa.

Once they made it to the front doors, Twilight was about to give a knock on the door, but only for them to be opened up first by one of the Butlers of the Mansion.

"You must be the Guests the Master and Mistresses didn't invite but are letting in. Please come with me to the Living area, please." "Oh, a Butler. Very Fancy!" "Sis must be living in Luxury, I'm kind of feeling left out."

Once the Butler showed them where the Oranges were relaxing in, they saw Orangecut looking at some marketing reports of his Orange Company while his Wife, Orangejewel, was reading a book. However, their peaceful break was then stopped when they looked were greeted by the Butler.

"Master and Mistress, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her... friends are here for a talk with you." "We can see them. Please let us be." And maybe get us some refreshments if you would? They are Guests here."

The Butler left them as he went to the Kitchen to get refreshments, as the girls took their seats on some Couchs.

"So Princess, what brings your friends to our little town?" "Well, it's revolving about your Daughter, Orangejack? In some ways, she has the looks of our friend, Applejack." "And when Big Sis came to your town, I haven't seen her since."

They saw and knew they were onto them, as when their eyelids went up a little, which caught Rainbow and Rarity's attention.

"I must say Princess, your Imagination must be playing with you and your friends. We don't believe that our little girl is your friend." "I know that, but the Hair colour and how her Mark's style is, it's kind of like hers, but that's kind of a coninsidents on my part."

They then gave a chuckle as the Butler returned with a whole cart of Orange-themed Refreshments. Thinking about it, Rainbow and Rarity wanted to know something.

"Speaking about your Daughter, where is she?" "We thought of talking to the whole family if you get what you mean?" "We're sorry, but she's getting her Own Rest before her Wedding in a few Weeks."

After Orangejewel replied that, all the girls went quiet, not thinking she gave off that reaction.

"Wedding?" "Yes, our little girl will be getting married to a friend of ours. Tender Hoof did say he had eyes for our girl for quite a while, so he wanted the Wedding to be quick. Did we mention we wanted a Son-in-Law?" "Not really."

Thinking why Applejack was acting weird towards them was all no one but Tender Hoof, Rainbow, Rarity and Applebloom had to get Applejack back to normal.

"Hey yo, Would it be possible to ask your Daughter if we can be her Bridemaids for the big day? Where is her room?" "Sorry, but our little girl requires her Beauty Sleep. Lack of Sleep makes her grouchy."

They knew that was a lie, as they had to come up with another excuse.

"I-I kind of need to go to the Bathroom. Y'all know where that is?"

After she said that, both Oranges looked at the Young Sister of Applejacks, but believed her.

"The Restrooms on the next floor down the left wing, where our little Girl's room is. Disturb her or go in there and you will be sorry!" "We'll make sure she's behaving herself."

After Rainbow said that, she gave a wink to Applebloom as her and Rarity wanted to help her. They all left the Living room as they went to the Left wing of the Mansion, but not to the bathroom, but to Orangejack's room.

"I can't believe they fell for that lie! What losers, am I right?" "Well, that was both a lie and truth. I really need to go!" "Darling... Fine, but we have to be quick!"

Applebloom agreed as they headed to the bathroom first and then to Orangejack's room. With Twilight and Pinkie, who were still with the Oranges, as they wanted to know why Orangejack was actually getting Married to Tender Hoof.

"Married to Tender Hoof? I mean Applejack wasn't much interested in him before, so why is this different now?" "Because these two knew how to get to my Soon-to-Wife in Question!"

Just then, they all heard another Voice, as they saw someone familiar coming into the Living Area. Someone that Rarity regreted to get too.

"Tender Hoof?"

With Rainbow, Rarity and Applebloom, after a quick trip to the Bathroom, they made it to Orangejack's room, hoping to get some sense back into their friend.

"Well, ready to do something stupid to get our friend back?" "Please Darling, we always get ourselves into foolish, but yes, Stupid plans." "No matter how Stupid they are, this is for my Sister, your friend and the Element of Honesty!"

Once they were ready, they were about to sneak into Orangejack's Bedroom to get the Real Applejack back.
