What is this?
Applejack's Story
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Judgin’ from the big apple on the back of it,” the orange earth pony started, referring to the Apple logo, “Ah’m guessin’ that it has somethin’ to do with apples, maybe Granny Smith could tell us some-”
“NO!” Rainbow Dash yelled, annoyed, “We already have too many ponies in here! If we bring anypony else in, all that would do is add to the confusion!”
“I agree,” Twilight said, “I wouldn’t exactly put it like that, but she’s right! Nopony else comes in here!” she concluded as she magically slammed the door shut and locked it.
“Anyway…” Applejack continued, “It might be some sort of apple-related device, I have tons of apple-related gadgets like that back in Sweet Apple Acres, though…” she looked at the device, with confusion in her voice and face, “Ah’ve never seen one so… small! What happens when you push that button there? That could tell us somethin’”
“Button?” Twilight replied, she looked down and saw the home button, slightly embarrassed that she didn’t notice it earlier, “Oh I don’t know, I’ll give it a try!” she does so and sees the same picture Pinkie Pie saw earlier and blushed, slightly. “I-i-it’s…” she paused for what seemed like a few minutes.
“Well, spit it out already! What is it?” an impatient Rainbow Dash yelled.
“It’s… me? Where would somepony get a picture of me?” seeing my wallpaper of her left her more shocked and confused than a certain somepony’s “Pinkie Sense.”
“Well it could be magic or somethin’” Applejack guessed, nopony seeming confused at all about Twilight’s possible stalker, “bein’ as how you’re the Element of Magic an’ all. Maybe it’s s magic radar that detects and separates the good apples from the bad, or somethin’”
It took Twilight a few minutes to respond, still being shocked and suspicious that somepony got a picture of her and put it in this device, all without her having any clue it was happening, “…Interesting…” she finally said, she decided to disregard the picture because last time she dwelled on something like that she ended up enchanting her Smarty Pants doll and causing the whole town to lose their minds. “Let’s test that out! Anypony got an apple?”
“Ooh! I do!” Pinkie yelled, then she pulled an apple out of nowhere in particular and put it next to the device and watched the latter. After a few minutes, nothing happened.
“Well it can’t be that! Hmm…” Twilight thought for a minute
“But it has an apple on it so it must be somethin’ apple-related!” AJ finally said.
“Or it could be a logo of some sort and not have anything to do with apples at all!” Twilight theorized.
Rainbow decided to butt in at this point. “That sounds so stupid! Why would somepony make a logo or name for a company when the company and logo have nothing to do with each other? Like, imagine a computer program named ‘Adobe’ but not have anything to do with bricks! That’d be insane! They’d be out of business in a week!”
“You do have a point, Rainbow, but you don’t have to be so rude about it!” Twilight responded. Rainbow Dash just shrugged.
“Well Ah’m stumped, then! If it’s not apple-related and it’s not a logo or nothin’ then Ah really have no idea what it could be!” Applejack finally said in defeat.
“Well, about those fingerprints…” Lyra began, not noticing that nopony is really listening, “I’ve seen many of those things before, they’re called iPhones and humans use them all the time, I have no idea what they do, but if humans love them so much, then I want one! I’ve even plastered a few fingerprints to extract their human DNA so that I could one day, fulfill my dream of becoming a human! In fact I even have a couple hundred phones stashed away at my house! I’ve almost figured them out, I can even take one apart and reassemble them, flawlessly, without even looking! And Rainbow Dash, about that Adobe thing you mentioned earlier, you’d be surprised, Adobe is also a common human thing, and they’re a BIG business! They make about 1.125 billion dollars a year, that’s human currency by the way, I’m not sure how much a dollar is in bits but I think it might be about 4 to 5 dollars a bit, I’ve figure out that one of Applejack’s pies cost 2 bits while they cost about 8 to 10 in dollars, so it’s a simple matter of division. Also have you guys ever heard of bronies? They’re a group of people who-” Lyra was suddenly cut off by a certain over active party pony.
“Guys, guys, guys! Can I PLEASE tell my story now? I wanna tell the story!” she started bouncing in circles around her other friends, in annoyance that her friends won’t listen, and desperation to get her story out, the latter was more noticable in her tone of voice. “Iwannatellthestory! Iwannatellthestory! Iwanna-” then she, too was interrupted, only this time by a hoof held at the perfect elevation to collide with her face, though she didn’t feel any pain or any other kind of sensation for that matter, which was especially odd considering how painful it looked. She didn’t seem to be at all affected by it because when she spoke next, her tone was completely normal with no pain or discomfort to be noticed. But then again, that was just Pinkie being Pinkie! “So can I tell my story now? PLEEEEAAAASEEE?!?!”
Twilight thought for a moment, If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that it’s not gonna make any sense at all, still, I should at least humor her, considering she’s so excited to tell her story… and I practically just punched her in the face! “OK fine, I know I’m gonna regret this but…” she let out a deep sigh, aware of the insanity that would no doubt unfold as she asked the question: “What do you think it is, Pinkie?”
Unable to contain he excitement as she was finally allowed to speak, Pinkie wasted no time getting started, “Well earlier today…”
