A random idea I had after seeing the cover on PonyDerivative.

Chapter 1

"Alright, I'm ready for the Apple con!" Applebloom squeaked as she came to the large building. It was jam-packed with bizzare creatures she had never seen before. She trotted around, avoiding the creatures.

"Um, 'scuse me! Coming through, coming through!"

She eventually came to a board that had numbers on it.

"New Apple product released in: Two hours, twenty minutes and thrity five seconds?" she asked herself. "Is it a new type of Apple sauce?"

"Oh, that silly filly!" Applejack said furiously. "She just went off with Scootaloo and Sweetie all of a sudden! Why, when she gets home, ah swear..."

"Applejack, as much as I hate to say it, she'll be safe!" Rarity said.

"Rarity, remember who she went off with? She went off with your little sister too!"

"Wait... A minute... SWEETIE BELLE!!!" she stormed out of the library. Twilight was completely dazed.

"According to Twitter, it says she is in the Apple Con waiting for the iPad Mini to come out." Twilight replied.

"Oh, she must've thought that it was a literal Apple con!" Applejack said. "Come on, Winona, let's go catch some Appleblooms."

"I'll come too." Twilight said. "After all, it's in a completely different country, much further from here."

"Where is it?"

"It's in Fillyda."

"But that's HOURS away! How in the name of Doctor Whooves did she get there in a few minutes?"

"Time goes faster over there than here. Ten minutes over there would be ten seconds here."

"But that's--"

"Come on, let's just go!"

Twilight's horn began to glow.

"Spike, we're going to find Applebloom!" she shouted before a pink flash bathed the library for a second or two in a magenta light, and then Applebloom and Twilight were gone.

"Man, this is taking forever!" Scootaloo said. "I can't believe you made Sweetie teleport us here!" the young, white unicorn was resting on a nice-looking bench. She seemed to be behind red velvet ropes. A tall man came over and shooed the unicorn off.

"Why is there three technicolour horses in here?" the man shouted. "We shouldn't have any animals on the premises."

The three ponies grinned, hoping he wouldn't do anything, then rushed off.

"We're not animals!" Sweetie shouted, still exhausted. "...You ar--" Applebloom covered her friend's mouth with her hoof.

"We need to find somewhere to hide until the Con actually starts!" Applebloom said.

"I think this is a Con for a tech product, not real apples." Scootaloo said.

"Of course it's a Con for apples, it's even ran by my family, the Apple family!" Applebloom replied. The orange pegasus facehoofed herself.

"Maybe we could hide under the table!" Sweetie said. "It worked when we hid under the table for weeks in Sugarcube Corner, back when I had a robot voice!"

"Nah, that's not a good enough place." said Scootaloo.

"Ah know!" Applebloom said. "We could hide under the table!"

Scootaloo's face lit up. "Great idea, Applebloom!"

"That's what I said..." Sweetie Belle frowned.

"There they are!!" the man shouted. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo ran off, dodging huge shoes, table legs and real legs on their way. They came to a door where it was also guarded by a velvet rope. Another man was there, letting the people go in every few seconds.

"Of course, help yourself to a seat." the man said to a young family of three.

"We need to think of a plan to get in there." Scootaloo said.

"Hey girls, there's a hat and a ginormous coat!" Applebloom said.

"Let's do a totem pole, I'll put glasses on, you two can be the body, we'll put the coat on, and we'll sneak in without being noticed!" Sweetie said.

"That is the most stupid plan I've ever heard of." Scootaloo replied. "...But, it's the best plan ever! Let's try it!"

"Winona, let's find that silly filly!" Applejack said.

"More horses and a dog?" the man from before said, leaning over the farmer and Twilight. He picked up Winona. "Let's find your owner, little puppy."

"Winona!!" Applejack shouted as she went over to applebuck the man, but missed, and hit some creature waiting in a line. It was tall, was wearing a long coat that was a beige colour, had a matching fedora and a large pair of glasses. Green eyes looked down at Applejack.

"Uh oh," the creature whispered. "Applejack's here!"

"How do ya know mah name?" Applejack asked curiously.

"We... Watch... My Little Pony!" it replied. "You're my favourite pony in the show, and I'm meeting you for real! I can't believe this!"

"Erm, you're telling me that grown up stallions watch this show?" Applejack asked. AJ and Twilight eyed each other and frowned.

"BRONY!!" the two said.

"...There we go, little puppy!" the man said. "Now then, why is there horses in this building?!" he dived for the ponies.

Twilight's horn began to glow again. "Applejack, hold on!" Applejack grabbed Twilight. "I'm going to try to clock up."

"But I thought that spell was extremely hard!" Applejack replied.

"I read every book in my library six times before, including an advanced spell book wrote by Star Swirl The Bearded, which included a clock up spell. I studied it lots to try and get it right."

A pink swirl appeared around the two ponies. Twilight was focusing as hard as she could. Sparkles appeared, then everything seemed to be still.

"Okay Applejack, let's go, quickly! We haven't got much time!" Applejack nodded as she ran off with Twilight.

"Did you stop time?"

"No, we're going so fast that everything seems to be still. Colgate also shown me how to do it a few times." The glow of Twilight's horn seemed to be going out, slowly but surely. The two saw a sign that said 'New Apple product released in: fifteen minutes and thrity five seconds'.

"I think we're at an Apple inc. con, not an apple con!" AJ said. "And we need to find the fillies!"

"Let's hide under that table real quickly!" Twilight said as she dived under a table that was covered with a velvet cloth. Twilight's horn then stopped glowing, then with a sparkle, everything started moving again. She giggled as the man fell over.

"Where did they go?"

Twilight quickly dragged the cloth off the table and wrapped it around Applejack. Her horn started glowing as the magic picked up another piece of cloth. She zipped it under the table and wrapped it around her.

"Applejack, let's find Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, then we can go home."
