Dragonberry Drought (featuring Applejack, Fluttershy, Sandalwood, Sweet Leaf, Wallflower Blush and Spike)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It’s Friday and Canterlot High has just closed for another weekend. All the students and staff were excited. Applejack, Fluttershy and the school ecologists (Sandalwood, Sweet Leaf and Wallflower Blush) are even more excited for the weekend, because they are planning to spend a Saturday at the greenhouse where Sci-Twi is working on the gardening (Sci-Twi is planning a surprise display just for them). They're hanging out at Fluttershy’s animal shelter along with Spike.

“Whoa, nelly. I wonder what Twi is planning for us at the greenhouse.” Applejack thought.

“Maybe it’ll be a huge display of flowers with lives of their own!” Sweet Leaf cheered.

“Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure about that, Leaf. Remember what happened the last time Sci-Twi worked on the plants of the greenhouse?” Fluttershy asks.

“Yeah, those plants really came to life thanks to her magic! That sure was groovy!” Sandalwood cheered.

“Yeah. I remember that.” Sweet Leaf replied, disappointed.

“Don’t worry, Sweet Leaf,” Wallflower Blush said. “I know it’s disappointing, but you have friends by your side. Including me.” Wallflower promises, comforting Sweet Leaf.

“Aw, thanks.” Sweet Leaf squeaked, clearly happy.

The phone suddenly starts to ring and Spike knows who‘s calling. “Hey, I think it’s Sci-Twi.”

“Well, pick it up, Spike.” Fluttershy said as Spike did just that.

After just a few minutes on the phone with Sci-Twi, Spike’s beginning to feel down.

“Whoa! What’s wrong?” Sandalwood asks.

“Sci-Twi said that the greenhouse will be closed for the weekend, so we won’t go tomorrow after all.” Spike answered as the humans gasped in disappointment.

“Oh, bummer!” Sandalwood exclaimed.

“I was looking forward to the plants and time with Wallflower Blush here!” Sweet Leaf complained.

“Oh, I’m sure there’s always next time.” Fluttershy promises when she and Applejack get hungry. “Oh my. I seem to be hungry right now”

“Same here, sugarcube.” Applejack nodded as the others were feeling the same thing. “I know! How about we go to Dragon Land and have some Dragonberries there?” She suggests while she’s putting her dragon badge on as everyone loves that and puts their dragon badges on.

“Count me in!” Spike exclaimed as he changed his collar medallion into his own dragon badge.

“Uh, excuse me? What are dragonberries exactly?” Sandalwood asked as he put his dragon badge on.

“You’ll see when we get there.” Applejack smirked.

With that, Applejack, Fluttershy, the ecology teens and Spike went to Fluttershy’s room and held Fluttershy’s dragon scale. “I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with Dragons, in a land apart!” They all recited in unison as the dragons on Fluttershy’s walls flew off, swirled around them all, and off they went!


Once they arrive, they notice that their dragon friends are gone.

“Hey, where is everyone?” Wallflower asked in confusion just as Cassie and the dragons show up, looking worried.

“No dragonberries down here.” Cassie announced from the bush next to her.

“No dragonberries over here.” Wheezie said, looking at the other side of the same bush.

“Not even one.” Zak said, bummed out.

“This is terrible.” Ord cried out.

“What’s terrible exactly?” Spike asked.

“Hey, it’s the girls and Spike!” Cassie exclaimed in relief as the humans and Spike approached them.

“Howdy, sugarcubes!” Applejack said.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look sad?” Wallflower asked.

“Well, there are no dragonberries here today.” Ord explained.

“Wait! Did you say, ‘No dragonberries’?” Sandalwood asked in shock and surprise.

“Not even one. And we’ve been looking everywhere.” Wheezie explained.

“But I thought today was the best day for picking them, sugarcube.” Applejack said, confused.

“It is and there should be lots and lots of berries, but there aren’t.” Cassie explained.

“Oh, my!” Fluttershy whispered.

“Even I feel sorry for those berries.” Sweet Leaf said in sorrow.

“What are we gonna do?” Ord asked in worry.

“Don’t worry, Ord. There are lots of other dragonberry bushes in Dragon Land.” Cassie explained, making Ord feel better.

“Yeah, let’s go check some other places. Come on!” Spike replied just as he led the gang to some other bushes. Unfortunately, every bush they go to has NO dragonberies. Just minutes later, they approached the last bush.

“I think this is the last bush.” Cassie said.

“…and still no berries?” Zak exclaimed in shock.

“It’s all very… mysterious.” Wheezie whispered.

It was then they saw some do-re-mi birds flying by, singing their little tune.

“Whoa. What are they?” Sweet Leaf asks, clearly immersed in the birds’ song.

“Do-Re-Mi birds are the birds that love to sing out those lovely songs every early morning.” Fluttershy answered.

“Do-Re-Mi birds love dragonberries as much as Ord. I bet they're trying to find some too.” Cassie explained

“Come on. What’s everyone waiting for?” Ord asks, clearly wanting himself and the gang to go to wherever the birds are heading.


With that, the group indeed follow the birds to the flock’s destination while Fluttershy and Spike fly alongside them.

  1. Sweet Leaf and Applejack is riding Ord
  2. Wallflower Blush is riding Cassie
  3. Sandalwood is riding Zak and Wheezie

Unfortunately, they ran into a problem when they found the birds eating from bushes that didn't have the dragonberries they were looking for.

“Those aren't dragonberries. Dragonberries are red.” Spike said.

“Those are yellow.” Ord replies.

“Ooh, you’re so right. They’re puckerberries, Ord. They taste so sour they make your mouth pucker.” Wheezie explains as she felt the sourness affect her.

“It’s so sour I can taste it.” Zak replies.

“I just had a puckerberry and look what’s happening to me!” Wallflower yelled out, clearly puckering as well.

“Well, why are Do-Re-Mi birds eating puckerberries if they like dragonberries best?” Sweet Leaf asks.

“They were probably hungry and couldn't find any dragonberries either.” Cassie explains.

“If we cannot find any dragonberries and the Do-Re-Mi birds cannot find any dragonberries, maybe there aren't any dragonberries anywhere in Dragon Land.” Wheezie said.

“Oh, don't say that.” Ord called out.

“We can’t give up, sugarcubes.” Applejack said, still confident.

“I can just imagine them bright red, ripe and ready to be gobbled.” Ord thought.

“I won’t believe dragonberries until I see them myself, dude.” Sandalwood said.

“Hey! Remember when we were flying, I noticed the ground looked like Granny Smith’s quilt. Lots of different color patches. I think we should fly high over Dragon Land and look for bright red patches. The patches might be…” Applejack explained, getting an idea.

“Dragonberries!” everyone exclaimed in unison.


With that, they fly over Dragon Land to see fields in many colors.

“Gee, it does look like a patchwork quilt.” Wheezie exclaimed in surprise.

“Does anybody see any red?” Spike asks.

“Oh, I see one. Down there.” Zak and Wheezie replied.

“Yeah, I see red over this way too.” Sweet Leaf replied.

“Golly, there’s red everywhere. We’ll just have to check them all out.” Applejack said.


With that, they all fly to the red fields hoping that there’s dragonberries. The first area they go to is the Rainbow Canyon and the red part is a roof of the windmill home. There are no dragonberries.

“Not dragonberries.” Ord said as the group flew out.

They all land in the forest, but there’s no dragonberries. The red parts they see are just onesies that are hung to dry while a troll was bathing in a basket of soapy water.

“Not dragonberries.” Ord said.

“Oh, man. This is terrible indeed.” Sweet Leaf agreed as the troll sees them and waves to them.

“Let’s just go check out the other red fields.” Wallflower suggests as they all flew out.

After finding other red fields, all they saw were other things, but not dragonberries.

“Oh, this is quite a big drought indeed, sugarcubes!” Applejack complained.

“Oh, this isn't working. It’ll take forever to check every patch of red we see.” Zak complained.

“Don’t get discouraged, Zak. There has to be some way to figure out which patches might be dragonberries.” Fluttershy said.

“Yeah, we have to think extra hard!” Spike said.

“Oh, oh, oh! Have you ever noticed what shape dragonberry bushes are? They’re always round.” Wheezie explained.

“You're right, Wheezie. The bushes are round. We should look for red patches that are shaped like circles.” Zak said.

Suddenly Wallflower noticed something low on the ground that looked red and round.

“Look, over by the lagoon.” Wallflower said to everyone.

“Alright, Wallflower, what is it? I hope it’s urgent.” Sandalwood asked.

“Isn't that a red circle?” Wallflower asked.

“You found one, Wallflower? Oh, you're the best. I can already taste those dragonberries all yummy in my tummy. Mm.” Ord said, feeling very hungry.

“Well then, let’s just fly down there and see if you’re right.” Applejack said.


…and so, the group landed at the small red bush, and realized that Wallflower was right. There ARE some Dragonberries! Everyone had cheered since they found the only Dragonberry bush here.

“See, Ord? I knew we would find some.” Fluttershy exclaimed triumphantly. “…and so everyone was picking on the Dragonberries, and some were eating the Dragonberries.”

“Hm. These are so good. But one bush won't be enough for all of us and all of my brothers and sisters.” Cassie explained.

“Yeah! You’re telling me, brah!” Sandalwood replies.

Suddenly, Ord appears and almost scares the duo, but is relieved that Ord was just hungry for Dragonberries.

“Especially if Ord keeps eating.” Fluttershy said.

Wheezie turned her head and is still suspicious of the person who caused the Dragonberry Drought. “How come this bush is the only one with berries? All the other bushes are bare.” She asked, looking very suspicious.

And for once Wheezie knew exactly what she was talking about. Because all of the Dragonberry bushes were completely bare, and were all gone.

“Where did all the berries go? This mystery is getting more mysterious every time.” Cassie asked.

“Maybe a really strong wind came and blew it all away.” Wheezie guessed.

“...or maybe somebody ate them. Somebody who loves dragonberries even more than I do.” Ord guessed as he came out of the Dragonberry bushes after finishing them.

“Nobody loves dragonberries more than you, Ord.” Cassie said.

“Yeah, you’re like a Dragonberry addict.” Wallflower said. “Besides, we’ve got to find who’s causing this Dragonberry drought here in Dragon Land.” she continued.

“Hey, look at this. Something smashed the ground over here.” Spike cried out to everyone as he saw the Dragonberry bushes being squashed on the ground, which shocked everyone.

“What could do this?” Wheezie said

“Something big.” Cassie responded.

“Big? Ugh. Do you think it might be the same giant who ate all the dragonberries?” Zak asked worriedly. “Something huge!”

“We won't know unless we follow the trail.” Fluttershy responded.

“Looks like we have to follow our instincts and find the culprit.” Sandalwood said.

A few moments later the others followed the trail, with Spike leading them until they got to the part where they saw a big footprint that caused this.

“Check this out.” Fluttershy said, pointing at what she found.

“A footprint.” Wheezie said

“A giant footprint.” Zak said worriedly.

“You mean a giant's footprint.” Cassie corrected.

“Ha! …and I bet I know which giant.” Applejack said.

“Sid Sycamore.” said Cassie, who noticed him.

“No, Mungus.” Applejack corrected.

“I know, I mean there's Sid Sycamore.” Cassie said.

“Sid’s the one who can take us to visit Mungus. Ord said

“Great thinking, Ord!” Sandalwood said “Looks like we’re going through a tree.”


The others have arrived at Sid Sycamore’s tree, where Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity had built a treehouse using their teamwork with their dragon friends.

“Hey, everyone. So, what brings you to my neck of the woods?” Sid asked.

“We're looking for dragonberries and we think Mungus the giant picked them up.” Fluttershy explained. “Have you seen Mungus lately?” she asked.

“...and did he have any dragonberries? Ord continued.

“Did he have dragonberries? He had so many dragonberries, that it took three trips to get them all to his castle.” Sid answered, laughing.

“I knew it.” Applejack exclaimed.

“We solved the mystery. Mungus picked all the dragonberries in Dragon Land.” Fluttershy said.

“...and hardly left any for the rest of us.” Ord continued, walking away sadly.

“Well, why don't you go up and ask him for some? Sid asked.

“You think he'd share?” Ord asked worriedly.

“It's worth a try. Cassie responded.

“Sid, can you take us to see Mungus?” Fluttershy asked.

“Hey, hey! Sure thing, kid. Hop on!” Sid instructed as the others hopped on in the treehouse, then, he extended his whole body up, up, up up to the top of the whole Earth into Mungus’ castle, where they had arrived.

“Whoa! Gnarly!” Sandalwood exclaimed.

“You sure don’t see that everyday!” Sweet Leaf replied as Wallflower Blush nodded in agreement.


Meanwhile In his castle, Mungus was baking a pie, a pie that is so good that he didn’t know that he caused the whole Dragonberry drought.

“Fe, fo, fum, fi. Soon I'll be eating a big fruit pie.” Mungus boomed while preparing the ingredients

“Look at all those dragonberries.” Spike said in awe.

“He must have gotten a lot.” Sandalwood said as the others have flown right to Mungus.

“Why, it's my little pals. Did you come for a visit?” Mungus asked, looking very pleased.

“Well, yes, but we were also looking for dragonberries. We wanted to pick some today but there weren't any left.” Fluttershy replied.

“Because you picked them all.” Applejack said.

“I did?” Mungus asked, looking confused. “I thought I left some.”

“Only one bush.” Ord said.

“Then the Dragonberry Drought has finally happened.” Sandalwood said.

“Oh, I'm sorry.I didn't mean to be selfish. It's just that I need lots and lots of dragonberries. I'm baking my mommy a giant-sized dragonberry pie.” Mungus apologized to everyone as he explained his involvement in the drought.

“A pie?” everyone exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh… Well that explains why he couldn’t count and watch where he’s going.” Spike said.

“Oh, I'm really sorry I picked so many berries. I guess I didn't know how many I needed to make my mommy her pie.” Mungus apologized after what he did as he grabbed the bowl of dragonberries and offered some to his friends. There are plenty left. “Please, have some.” he offered to the others, as the others ate the remaining dragonberries, until Cassie realized something….

“You know, the Do-Re-Mi birds didn't get any dragonberries either.” she said while eating the dragonberries.

“Besides, they miss those dragonberries, and they have been eating those puckerberries lately.” Sandalwood explained.

“Don’t even remind me.” Wallflower replied, showing a face of puckered lips and disgust.

“Well, they can have some now.” Mungus said as he grabbed another bowl of Dragonberries, then made a whistling tune with his lips, and suddenly the Do-Re-Mi birds arrived at his castle, landed at the bowl and ate them. After eating them, the birds flew away.

“Well, that’s a relief, sooner or later someone is gonna plant dragonberry seeds and create new bushes,” Sweet Leaf said.

“Those Do-Re-Mi birds love dragonberries almost as much as Ord.” Spike said as he saw Ord eating the Dragonberries.

Suddenly, the timer bell rang and Mungus knew what that meant…. It means his dragonberry pie recipe has been finished baking.

“Mm, the pie is ready. Would you guys like a slice?” Mungus asked.

“Just one slice?” Ord asked nervously.

“Well, I’m in!” Applejack said.

“Me too.” Fluttershy said.

“If it’s one slice, then I'll have that one slice, please.” Wallflower said.

“Same here.” Sweet Leaf replied.

“I’ll have it.” Sandalwood said.

“I’ll take it!” Spike said.


Moments later after slicing the pie and giving everyone a slice, Ord was having a small bowl of Dragonberries from the dragonberry pie while the others ate their own with utensils (considering that they're not little kids).

“This should fill you up, Ord.” Wheezie said.

“I'm working on it.” Ord replied as he chuckled.

“Mm, that's the most delicious pie I ever ate." Fluttershy replied as she and her friends ate the pie filling.

..and the biggest.” Applejack said. “Man, I wish Pinkie Pie was here to try it out.” She sighed.

“Well, we better get home now. Thanks for sharing the berries with us, Mungus.” Fluttershy replied as she and the others were about to go back home.

“Bye!” the humans, Spike and the dragons said as Mungus waved.


With that, it was time for Applejack, Fluttershy, Sandalwood, Sweet Leaf, Wallflower Blush and Spike to head home. “I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home, until next time.” they recited in unison as they went home after a confusing day. They all appear back in Fluttershy’s room.

“Whoa, that pie sure was good, dudettes” Sandwalwood cheered.

“Yeah. I am glad the drought is ending.” Wallflower sighed in relief.

“I sure agree with you there, Wallflower.” Spike replied just as Sweet Leaf is feeling full.

“You know, I am feeling full from all that pie. I guess getting rid of the drought and all the efforts to get the dragonberries back sure is exhausting.” Sweet sighed in exhaustion.

“Yeah. Me too, sugarcube.” Applejack replied.

“I believe that it’s time you all get home.” Fluttershy announces as everyone does just that; clasping their dragon badges and teleporting themselves back to their own homes.

“Bye, Spike.” she continued as Spike was feeling loved before he teleported himself back to Sci-Twi just as Fluttershy was about to settle down to rest.
