a taste of insanity

Ponyville Galoping Gala

1800 hours

It was a unusual Gala this year around but at least all was well.  Everypony was enjoying the high quality apples of Applejack's stand. There were streamers in the party room, Pinkie's personal favorite.  There was a library, you can guess which of the Elements was in there. The rest were outside enjoying the beautifully arranged flowers and the still nightime air.  But within seconds everything went wrong.  Everypony was lying down clutching their stomachs. Applejack stared in horror.  Nothing like this had ever happened before.

"What in Equestria is going on here?" a demanding sophisticated voice called out. It sounded pissed off as well.

Applejack was fearful of what was happening. Her apples were very fresh, picked only yesterday and stored well, but somehow they were enough to fill the toilets in the ballroom and all the outhouses in the gardens in two minutes flat.

"Ah dont know Mrs Mayor. Nothin like this has ever happened before"

The mayor, was angry, disgusted and hateful.

" ls this some sort of sick joke Applejack?. none of the other stands have done this!. All of the V.I.P's are here, even your friends. And you put them in the hospital!. Your sence of humour is fucked up! "

Applejack was staring in disbelief at how much damage she was being accused of making.

" Ah didn't do anything to the apples, ah bucked em, cleaned em and pakaged em all like normal. The only thing that could have happened was sabotage... but then who would want to sabotage Sweet Apple Acres "

Applejack searched the rooms for anypony acting suspicious but found none, and Mayor Mare was becoming impatient

" I'm sorry about this Applejack but im going to have to shut down Sweet Apple Acres on suspicion of sabotaging the Grand Galloping Gala "

Applejack couldn't believe her ears

" What!? " her situation ripped away at her mind. Applejacks family work could be taken away from them any moment.

" What can ah do? " She was asking herself. She was breaking, unable to think about what she could do. She felt the entire apple family on her back. She couldn't handle it and passed out

Ponyville Hospital

1900 Hours

Applejack awoken with a mighty headache. She saw her friends all in separate beds next to her, All except Pinkie were too tired to look at Applejack. Pinkie was having a coughing fit which engulfed her attention span

She could see the doctor blocking the mayor's path into the hospital

" Im sorry Mrs, Mare but she is in to much of a delicate state to recive such news " Mayor Mare left in a aggresive but respectful manner. But Applejack already knew what the news was going to be. The doctor came towards the western mare to tell her the diagnosis

"Oh hello Mrs... " he checked his clipboard "applejack is it? " she nodded but wasn't realy listening " you had a panic attack and passed out. you should be OK within an hour but until then you have to get some rest "

Applejack wanted to confirm what she thought was the news but knew better than to dissobay the doctor. the stallion who saved more lives than she had bucked apples. Therefor she attempted to follow the doctors orders but was too worried to sleep, both the farm and her friends worried her. But what burned away at her the most was who could of set her and the Apple family up.
