"Try it!"
"No."
"Try it!"
"No."
"Trrrrrryyyyy it!!!"
"NO!!!"
"Pleeeaaasssseeeeeeee AJ!" Pinkie begged, now laying on the floor of Sugarcube Corner, holding onto Applejack's hooves.
"Fer the last time Pinkie! I said'a no!" Apple Jack growled at her friend, now glaring down at Pinkie a bit too hatefully.
"But- But...." Pinkie stammered, her lower lip starting to quiver. Then before AJ could reply, Pinkie burst into a spassum of ear-splitting weeps and pouts, slapping her hooves repetedly against AJ and the floor.
AJ took in a long and deep breath, "Fine Pinkie, but-" She was immediately cut off by her friend.
"YAYYYYYYYY! HOOOORRRAAAAAAAYYYYY!" She screeched at the top of her lungs, making ponies from the outside look in the shop. Only to see Pinkie leaping into the air and hugging AJ tightly, making AJ's face turn blue from the loss of breath. She finally managed to push Pinkie away after about five minutes of hugging.
"Wheres the fruit, Pinkie?" She mumbled, sounding like a grump and folding her forelegs arcoss her chest while she sat down at the nearest table.
"Weeeeeeeeeelllllllll, right here of course! Silly AJ!" She said smiling deeply at her friend, but AJ didn't return the smile and meerly scowled back at her annoying, yet lovable, friend.
Seeing AJ's scowl, Pinkie quickly bounced into the back of the bakery and stayed there for a while. AJ waited in silence as her friend was gone, glaring at anypony who stared at her for too long. She started to glare at a red stallion when Pinkie happily bounced back over to her, an oddly shaped green fruit dangling from her jaws. As AJ spotted the fruit she winced and almost fell right off of her chair. Then Pinkie placed the fruit in front of AJ and the sunset orange mare stared at it with the most disgust she could muster. She tentivly leaned forward and gulped. She opened her mouth as slow as possible and then... she bit into it.
A whole rainbow of flavors erupted into AJ's mouth, it was so many different flavors at once, nopony in Equestria could discribe it. AJ stared at Pinkie and then back at the pear in shock as the curly haired mare's grin turned into a cheshire smile and she started to crack up.
"Look at your face!" Pinkie laughed hysterically and rolled on the floor, holding her extending chest. But AJ didn't notice, she had her eyes on that pear.
After a moment, Pinkie came up for breath, "Whoo, AJ... Your face was so- so-" She was about to start laughing again when she noticed that AJ and the pear weren't there anymore. Pinkie looked confused for a moment, but the memory of Applejack's face over powered her and she ended up rolling around on the floor having giggle-fits, and the memory of AJ's disappearence seemed to slip away, and out of the mare's mind.

Applejack ran as fast as a starving shark would have swam in an ocean full of fish back to Sweet Apple Acres. Her heart was pounding painfully in her chest as she raced up the hill to the red farm house. The wind whistled through her mane as she stood at the top of the hill, finally getting to her home. With an almost painful pleasure she ripped open her saddlebag and took out the fruit she was eating earlier at Pinkies. The pear. She didn't hesitate to take a large bite of the pear as the flavors exploded into her mouth once again. And in a few meer bites, the pear was completely gone. Core and all.
"Applejack?!" Came a sudden, yet happy cry as Apple Bloom lauched herslef onto her sister's back, giving her a gaint bear hug. "Where were ya? I've been lookin' fer ya all mornin'!" Apple Bloom continued with delight, "We need ya fer a CMC meetin'!"
"Can't." Applejack replied shortly, looking around for Big Mac.
"But whhhhyyyy!?" Her sister whined in a annoying tone and Applejack glared at her.
"Mind yer own bees wax Apple Bloom, I'll tell ya when yer older," And with a stomp of Apple Bloom's hoof Applejack was gone, in the house, running up to her room, forgetting why she had to see her brother.
When she finally collasped on the floor in her room, she reached up and locked her door, so her pestering sister wouldn't parade in there shouting for her to tell her. Applejack would tell her one day, but not today. She had something to think about, for a good long while...
She crawled into her bed, laying on the covers and taking off her hat, simply throwing it too the floor. She looked at the ceiling with no interest at all, just staring at it. And then, she began to think. If you want to know what she was thinking about, just read on my friends... read on.
Pears? Fooie pears! Oh what are ye sayin' Applejack, I know ye like em'. Her mind echoed restlessly, filling her with hate. How could Applejack, the Element of Honesty be lying to herself... But more importantly, how could she like those disgusting fruits, pears!?!
After a while of thinking deeply she started to fall into light sleep, scattered with small fragments of different dreams, the kind AJ didn't remember, or weren't important enough to think about all day long, but one dream, or nightmare [In AJ's case], burned into her mind and seemed to replay itself over and over again. This dream was about pears.
***[In the dream]***
"Applejack, you know you want some," A taunting jeer echoed through the darkness of an empty hall way, it looked like it went on forever, plus a little longer.
"Naw, I'm fine." She said looking down the hallway, straining her grassy green eyes.
"I know your not, you want some. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?" The voice jeered evily, sounding more threatening then it did before for some reason.
"No, what are'ya talkin' about?" She questioned the voice souding almost perfectly normal.
"Pears, Applejack. Pears." The voice hissed, then giving a slight chuckle.
Applejack gulped and felt her head look towards the hallway again, seeing a large green pool. Immediatly she found out what it was. A pool of pears? Yes, it quite was.
She darted to the pool of pears, with every step she took the pool went farther away. She didn't notice at first, but after restless running she began to. But she needed those pears, and then she started to notice with every passing minute she started to become hungrier, but couldn't stop running.

When she woke up she was drenched in sweat and was tangled in the blankets, trashing around wildly. She the relized after a minute more of trashing that it was still dark out and she was making a whole lot of noise. She silenced at once and slowly untangled herself from her bed sheets. After a minute or two she was laying on the bed, on top of the covers and was thinking again. She hadn't relized yet, but she had slept all day yesterday, from morning yesterday to morning today.
Now it was four o' clock in the morning and AJ had made up her mind on what she was going to do...
She was going to Pinkie's.
