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.
