Abandoned

" Hey Twi, mind helping me with this?" Applejack asked.

" Hmm... This spell could come in handy whe- Oh, what was that? Sorry, I was just talking to myself." Twilight replied.

"Could you help me unload these apples into that cart? Fluttershy said she needed some for her animals." Applejack said.

"Oh, sure. Hopefully she didn't find another Parasprite." Twilight responded.

Twilight was helping Applejack around the farm, because Big Mac had hurt himself again, pulled a muscle while bucking a tree. Twilight used her magic to levitate the apples from the baskets into the cart. Applejack liked having Twilight help around the farm, her magic helped with many things. Also, they didn't actually talk that much, so that gave them a chance to.

"Why does Fluttershy need so many apples?" Twilight asked.

"She said something about some new kind of animals she was taking care of. I guess they have a thing for apples." Applejack answered.

Applejack hooked herself up to the shackle on the cart, they started off to Fluttershy's cottage.

They didn't talk much on the way to Fluttershy's house, mainly cause Twilight had her face in some kind magic book.

Applejack didn't know if she did anything else with her free time. Studying was all she ever saw her doing. Applejack knew it was all fine and dandy that she loved her studying, but she needed to get out more, and experience the real life.

About 15 Minutes Later...

Applejack's hooves started hurting, just as they were arriving at Fluttershy's cottage. Twilight was happily trotting with her nose still stuck in that book, while Applejack was face down, full of effort pulling the cart full of apples.

"We're.... Here....-" Applejack stopped dead in her tracks.

Twilight continued walking for a few feet, but stopped, and turned to Applejack.

"What's wrong-' Twilight stopped mid-sentence, looked where Applejack was, right at Fluttershy's cottage.

Well, what was left of it.

Fluttershy's cottage was destroyed.

Completely.
