Applejack awoken, she had fell of her bed but she had a creeping feeling on her mind that somepony had pushed her, but nopony was in the room... just herself but she couldn't help it, she was too paranoid. She had remembered about her friends, and how they would shun her for what they suspected she had done. She was scared at the thought of Twilight and her letters to prinnces Celestia and how she would be accused of sabatage and possibily attempted murder!, even though she didn't do anything. She knew exactily what she had and haddn't done that day.

She had bucked some fresh apples for the gala and served them at the event for a few bits.

Applejack knew there was no use in thinking about something she couldn't change and went outside, just to see a angry mob with only a few ponys missing, everypony was yelling at her curcing her and her family, only the elements didn't shout, instead they just gave her stern looks "Holly shit everyone hates me, even... my friends" her thoughts made her cringe and sob on the inside, on the outside she was shocked and starring, yet in her gaze she could not see a particular party pony, she worried and waited for all the curses and shuns and depressng comments to be said and then she spoke

" Pinkie pie.. were is she, is she...? " Applejack dared not say it, but she was pleased to hear the soft yet heartbroken voice of fluttershy " No " her voice was nearly inaudible, and it didn't realy help she was avoidig eye-contact with her former p.f.f

" she didn't agree with this so she never came... I didn't want to ether but after what you did to all of ponyville its hard to go by you without punishing you for it... Please dont hate me "

The crowd parted like a clearing fog, both familiar faces and complete strangers all staring at Applejack in hatred, she didn't have the guts to say anything. so instead she went to ponyville square, to talk to pinkie pie, the only pony who didn't join the mob to curse her.

On her way she would look behind her every so often, she just thought that, somepony, something was going to sneek up on her and, just, do something, something very bad, she just didn't know what.

She came to Sugar Cube Corner, Mr and Mrs cake chased her out

" Talk about rude, but to be honest, they do think I poisoned them. " So she just banged on the window to get pinkie pie's attention. She ran through the window, she had obviously eaten alot of sugar filled goods.

"Hey!! your going to have to pay for that!! " Mrs cakes yelled, she wasn't pleased with the hole in the window, however Applejack found it funny as the giant pinkie pie silhouette shaped into the broken glass

" hey pinkie I didn't do anything to the apples at the gala " pinkie looked at her with a "well duh" expression on her face

" okey dokey lokie " Applejack looked surprised "I mean you are the element of honesty " Applejack was surprised at pinkie's use of logic she smiled " Oh thanks, urrrrrm want to help me find some evidence to clear my name? " pinkie started to nod

" Sure that would help you alot "

Applejack smiled yet her mind was tencing up, like it was going to experiance an impact or something.

She noticed something in the top corner of her eye, it was big, black and had a multicolour tail at the back of it

"Consider this payback " and the rain started hitting Applejacks head and body. She wasn't pleased with rainbow dash but she stood her ground and walked away. She knew if she were to say anything she would be reminded of the Ponyville gala.

Pinkie was already far infront of her, rumaging through the ponyville gala's garbidge. Every once in a while she would blow a bin out of the party cannon, after searching its contents. Applejack was rolling around in laughter after she had stoped thinking they would land on her. " Hey Pinkie why are you doing that? " Applejack just had to know what was going on in Pinkies head at the time. But to her dissapointment Pinkie Pie mearly shrugged and shot another bin miles into the horrison.

Applejack was worried, she had been searching for hours with no prevale, no evidence of the Apple family being innocent, and Granny smith would be home in a week. The whole thought made her depressed so she thought to the times Pinkie was making the investigation fun, she had shot bins from her party cannon, made paper into shapes, even her discarded apples were used to make art. But even though such fun was being thought off she knew that there was absolutely no hope for her and the Apple family. She desided to sleep, her mind was tence fully aware of Applejacks surroundings, ready to fight with a non existant intruder. Her sleep was troubled, no matter how many times she would pass out she would awaken thanks to ether a violent twitch or creeping feeling that somepony was out there, trying to get her.
