Apple Cellar

Doctor, Derpy and Twilight

“Hello.” He said. “I’m the Doctor.”

AppleJack looked over at Doctor’s side, only to see Derpy and Twilight standing there. AppleJack was facing down to cover the sight of her mouth. She grinned and said “Hello there... Why are ya here? No pony is allowed near MA cellar...” Doctor looked at Derpy, then at Twilight.

“I told you we were not meant to be here...” Twilight whispered in Doctors ear. AppleJack was moving closer, one hoof in front of the other, until she could hear them stepping back.

“Yes... But my TARDIS stopped here so there must be something wrong right here, right now...”

Doctor whispered back into Twilight’s ear. AppleJack lifted her face up and grinned.

“Are you alright AppleJa--”

“I’m... Just fine... Just fine” AppleJack said mysteriously as she interrupted Derpy.

“You... D-don’t seem li--”

“Oh I am fine!” AppleJack said as she moved closer. She grabbed Doctor and pushed him out of the way onto the floor. He fell in a heap among the dusty floor. AppleJack laughed silently in her mind as she walked to Derpy. Twilight reacted immediately at this as she ran towards AppleJack. She whispered and chanted at the same time and Derpy was snapped into some trance. Twilight froze on the spot when she saw this.

Twilight was shocked and AppleJack stared into her eyes. Twilight started to run to Doctor and help him up to stop this. Derpy fell on the floor, and AppleJack dragged her to the cellar. Doctor noticed this and got up slowly.

“W-what have y-you done t-to her?” AppleJack ignored Doctors question, and rolled her eyes, followed by a chuckle. AppleJack threw Derpy down the cellar, and followed her down. AppleJack bucked Depry in the empty slot, where Rarity was.

AppleJack quickly locked the chains but then blacked out. When she awoke, she saw all of the Ponyville ponies looking at her with shocked eyes. She wasn’t in her cellar anymore. AppleJack looked around. She got up and said “Where is Rarity huh?” All the ponies looked around, not noticing AppleJack as she ran off in the dust. She bumped into a blue box with ‘Police box’ written on it. She snuck inside and had a look around.

Meanwhile back at the other ponies Lighting Bolt notices AppleJack’s disappearance. “Everypony!” She shouted, and everypony stopped running around. “AppleJack’s gone!” Everypony started running and panicking.

***

AppleJack heard voices from outside and footsteps. She ran and hid behind something sticking out of the floor. “Well she running around somewhere.” A brown and greyish - blueish pony stepped in. It was Doctor Whooves and Derpy Hooves, Twilight stepped in after. She levitated the door shut and started speaking. “She running around Ponyville, she could be anywhere by now...”

“We should split up, and find her!” Doctor suggested.

“Great idea!” Twilight replied. “Doctor, you check around the train station, Derpy, you check around the barn, and I will check... All over PonyVille now lets go!”

AppleJack moved her hoof and knocked something over. None of them noticed and had already ran outside anyway. She sneaked out and ran to Sweet Apple Acres. She saw Twilight and Doctor on a couple of occasions, but managed to sneak past them. I know what Ima gonna do! she thought. She looked around Sweet Apple Acres before sneaking in the barn. She got rope and tied herself upside down from the roof. “Help! HELP!” she shouted.

After six minutes of shouting, Doctor rushed through the barn doors. “What's goin--” Doctor stopped to see AppleJack hanging from the rope. “Tied yourself up ‘ey?” Doctor said in a deep tone. “Trying to choke yourself to death?”

“No! You gotta help me!” AppleJack pleaded. “That AppleJack is an imposter! You see... ah went to visit ma cousins in Mainhattan! And, and, and these Ch-changelings attacked!”

“How did they get here then?” Doctor asked, not trusting AppleJack one bit.

“Ah ma not sure, maybe followed me?” Silence came upon them as she said that. Twilight’s voice was heard from the farm gate.

“Doctor? Derpy? Who is up there?” She called.

“It’s just me looking for AppleJack...” Doctor called back. “Come up here!” She ran up the hill and stopped and stared at AppleJack. Then she looked at Doctor and said “H-how did she get up there?”

“I’m not sure... But she told me a story... Something to do with--”

“Ah ma right ‘ere ya know...” AppleJack interrupted. “Why don’t ah tell ya the story?”

Twilight sighed and said “Fine...” AppleJack started telling the story again. “Ah went to visit ma cousins in Mainhattan! And these Changelings attacked! I’m not sure how they got ‘ere...”

AppleJack could see that Twilight wanted to set her free, but she was thinking What if this is a trap?

“Doctor.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll stay here with AppleJack, I have an Idea to see if this is all true.” Twilight said then began whispering in his ear. He nodded then ran off into the mist. “We can tell if you're lying...” She said.

They wait for over half the day and AppleJack’s face was red. She was breathing constantly.

“I’m back” Doctor said. “Just took three minutes and--”

“THREE MINUTES?!” Twilight bursted out. “More like HALF A DAY!”

“Sorry...” He said. He walked over to Twilight and whispered “She is lying...” Twilight gasped and looked at AppleJack shocked. “Ah heard that!” AppleJack shouted. “Ima not lyin’! Why would ah lie to one of ma best friends?!”

“Thats true!” Twilight said as looked back at Doctor. “AppleJack is one of my best friends! She is the Element of Honesty, she wouldn’t lie!” Twilight cut the roof and AppleJack fell to the ground in a heap.

“Thanks Twi...” AppleJack said and turned to trot out the door. She smiled and rolled her eyes.

“Not so fast, AppleJack!” Twilight shouted. AppleJack looked back without the smile and confusion in her eyes. “You changed over the years, and I haven’t seen you for ages, so I can’t trust you fully...” AppleJack just stared at her then ran off out of sight.

“Oh no...” Doctor said. “Why didn’t you listen to me?”

“I... Just uh...” Twilight stammered. “Never mind that... We gotta find AppleJack!”

They ran off out and split up, But AppleJack was back in her cellar. She looked around, all the ponies had disappeared. “WHAT?!” She screamed. “THEY ARE ALL GONE! WHO DID THIS? WHO DID--” She turned around and looked at the stairs. “Twilight... Twilight did this... TWILIGHT!” She ran up the cellar stairs and into Ponyville. All the ponies were hidden from her.

She spotted Twilight almost instantly and jumped on her. “YA FOOL! YA LET ALL THE PONIES THAT WERE IN MA CELLAR OUT, DIDN’T YA?” She started beating up Twilight in the middle of the street. All the other ponies that were hiding away gasped in horror. Blood started dripping out onto the ground. Twilight punched AppleJack off her and she fell on the ground. Twilight sat up and said “Why did you do it...?”

Then she got up. AppleJack was still lying on her back, gasping for air. Twilight walked over to her, her horn glowing. AppleJack, and the whole of PonyVille, was blinded by the light. Derpy Hooves flew over the light, and flew into it. “What's this?” She asked herself. She flew deeper into the light. PonyVille’s pony had fled, because they knew what kind of spell that was, but Derpy didn’t. AppleJack knew this was going to happen. She was grinning and laughing. “Why are you laughing?”

“Because, you better watch out... Hehe...” Twilight looked around herself, very, very confused. After she stopped looking around herself, Derpy knocked into her, causing Twilight to stop her magic. AppleJack didn’t get away that easily, for Doctor was standing right in front of her. “What do ya want?”

“I want you to stay there!” Doctor ordered. AppleJack laughed a bit. “What y’all gonna do?” She teased. Doctor hand gestured ponies to come out from behind houses. She was surrounded by all of PonyVille, except the fillies, and they all wasn’t pleased. She slowly walked up to Doctor, brought her hoof up, and swiped it down. Doctor held his hoof up and stopped AppleJack’s hoof is the air. Then, Doctor grabbed her hoof and twisted her around, she fell on the floor, face first.
