Lunar madness
How much do you buck them?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApplejack was as usual, bucking apple while her little sister came with the basket, caught them and went to Big Mac for him to deliver.
"Few, ah think were done for taday' you agree Mac?" She said wiping sweat off her brow.
"Eeyup." Came his usual two part response.
"Aright go over and pack it up. ah'm gounna' go take a break."
"Hey sis' is it alright if I go meet with Scootaloo and Sweetie now?" Squeaked the little red-maned filly.
"Sure, and ah don't want to pay for another wrecked house, ya'hear?"
"That was only... what comes after thirty-seven?"
"Thirty eight, little girl." Said a mysterious stallion hanging from the tree.
"Hey, what are ya doin in mah tree? I have enough lip from Rainbow as it is, and ah don't need ah unicorn either. Now get down before I buck ya down." Said applejack ready to buck him out of the tree.
"I bet that’s what you say to all the colts. But don't worry, I’m just here to give you a favor, no need for violence. After all you're the one that turned me to stone."
"What are you-you! What are yah doin' on mah' farm you pesky varmint!"
"I'm here to offer my services, one favor from me. No catches, no take backs and no backing out. And just because I did so much harm to your family and business, I’ll throw in a second for free. Does that sound fair?"
"Ah suppose. What are you willin' to do?"
"Anything you ask of me, so what is it?"
She didn't know what she wanted him to do. Or even if she could trust him.
"It should not be that hard! Why don't you let me fix up that barn and let me put an anti-bug charm on your orchard?"
"Really? You can do that?"
"I'm the spirit of chaos, of course I can do something as measly as that."
"Alright, but you do the barn by hoof. No magik' and no powers."
"Fine, but I’ll put the charm up last. So where is it?" He said using his magic to walk on the air.
"See the big red thang over there?" She said pointing over to the barn, in plain sight.
"Ah, yes! That’s it isn't it? So are there any supplies? Wood, paint? What?"
"No, we can't afford any yet."
He looked as if he was about to have a heart attack. "No supplies, huh? I’ll be right back!"
She watched as he ran straight into the-
"No! That’s the Everfree! I got to go tell twi' quick!"
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, sometimes accidently bucking sending her jumping.
It was only minutes before she was in Ponyville running closely to a few ponies.
"Twi! Twi! Where are you?" She asked frantically.
"She's at the library as usual, why did you need to see her?" Asked the only known drake in Ponyville.
"Because Spike, Discord's gone an' run into the Everfree!"
"What! Discord's out!?" Spike yelled out making the entire town stop to look at them.
"I don't know! But some colt jest’ ran into the forest, now hop on and hold on!"
He instinctively jumped on and held onto her front ponytail, before he was being pulled back by the wind.
They came across a small street filled with carts. She stopped and looked to find an opening to find none. So she backed up and ran forward jumping onto the side of a building and bucking as soon as she made contact.
After catching her breath she sped away from the looks all the other ponies were giving.
Before long from jumping carts, ponies, going through a cart and knocking over two ponies she made it to the hollowed out tree, of Ponyville's resident shut-in.
She burst through the locked door, bucking it off its hinges. "Twilight! Ah need your help now!" Applejack yelled.
She was soon greeted by Twilight falling from the ceiling and landing on the floor with a thud.
"Applejack! You could have knocked; I only expect my door to be knocked off the hinges by pinkie or Rainbowdash. I don't need a third." She said rubbing her sore bottom.
"Twi! There was this colt! Ran! Everfree! Ah-"
"Applejack, slow down and tell me what's wrong."
"There was this here' colt in one of mah tree's and he promised to help fix mah' barn. So when ah' said we didn't have any wood he ran off into the forest."
"What!? Some colt ran into the forest and you didn't try to stop him?" She asked Shocked.
"No! Ah' couldn't he went off faster than a greased pig in a lighten' storm!"
"We need to go get him! What if he gets hurt!?"
"We should be worried about what he could do to the forest."
"What does that mean?"
"Discord ran into the forest!"
"Nonononononono! What if he gets hurt! What if the princess finds out!? I don't want to be sent back to magic kindergarten!"
"Well come on then! Let’s get movin'!"
As they both raced to Sweetapple Acres they both heard howls coming from the edge of town.
Followed by a mob of ponies running and screaming. And then three filly's and a unicorn colt.
Which were also followed by a pack of Timberwolves.
"Twilight dear! What pleasure seeing you not grey, would you mind getting these three out of here?"
"Discord what did you do?"
"Yell later! Magic first!"
She rolled her eyes and teleported the three fillies behind them and the Timber wolves back twenty steps.
"Thank you dear, now I can explain, but later. Now we need to get them out of here, any suggestions?"
"Why did you take Applebloom and her friends into the forest!?" Yelled Applejack.
"I didn't do it intentionally, they followed me!"
"Not the time or place! Now focus!" Twilight screamed.
"Alright I say it's time to go get some firewood!" Said Applejack before bolting to confront the wolves.
She bucked the one closest to her sending it into another. When they both got up from the sudden front attack they began circling her.
"Come on ya' varmint’s that all Ya' got!?"
One of the five charged her receiving its head cracking and another for an open attack. It bit into her rear leg before backing off.
Now all five were closing in, one jumped, jaws wide, right at her throat. And she waited and waited and waited.
When she thought it was over she opened her eyes to see Discord at his full height, with a Timberwolf latched on his arm.
"You will not hurt any of them you overgrown logs!" He yelled throwing the wolf away.
"Ah' thought you didn't harm anything?" Asked Applejack getting back up.
"I never said I couldn't hurt what I made, now did I?"
"What's-look out!" She yelled, pointing at a Timberwolf charging for his tail.
He snapped his fingers and caught it midair shooting a stone slab into its throat.
"Now this isn't very fair. I think I’ll put them up against something to be reckoned with, don't you agree Applejack?"
She didn't answer before he could snap his fingers causing the ground to shake; storm clouds form and fire to gather around him.
"There Tmberwolves, so let's see them fight an army of Nature's Pack."
He snapped his fingers and the fire came down making wolf shaped front legs, next the storm clouds came down and made the torso, rock to form the head's, and lastly metal from nearby chairs to make the back legs.
In total there were five Timberwolves versus thirty Nature's Pack.
The wooden wolves snarled before running off while being chased by ten of the Nature’s Pack.
Discord crossed his arms with a satisfied smirk. "And that ladies and Gentlecolt's is how you-oh dear this isn’t good."
Behind them were the group of ponies that were running from before, who were now staring at the ponies, hybrid wolves and draconequis.
"Ok, I swear there is a perfectly chaotic explanation for this." He said raising his arms in defense. Before snapping his fingers making them fall asleep.
"Discord, what did you do!?" Twilight nearly did in a perfect replica of the Royal Canterlot voice.
"Relax, borelightsparkle, there asleep. I’m just going to put them in their beds put their stuff back and in the end they'll think it was just a dream."
"But they all saw it!"
"Just tell them it was a rare magical occurrence that happens every thousand years or some mumbo jumbo. You’re great with that."
"Little help here partner." Applejack asked trying to stand.
"Of course." He snapped his fingers healing her.
"Much appreciated." She tipped her hat before realizing who she just thanked. "Wait, you caused this!"
"For the last time, your daughter and her friends followed me!"
"She's not mah' daughter, she's mah' lil' sister. And Ya know what else?"
He gave an involuntary sigh. "What? Are you going to yell at me for breaking the laws of nature?"
"Just that bug repellent will do."
"Alright, here." He snapped his finger's before a blue cloud covered the acres and disappeared. "All done."
"That's it?"
"That's it." He simply replied.
"Now then," he began again, "To commit more good deeds!" He said heroically before turning into a pegasus and making a mad dash up.
"Weirdo." Applejack muttered before walking back to her farm.
