------{Stardust POV}------
.
The ground start rumbling "What's happening?"
"Stampede!"
My expression went vile as everypony start screaming and went to their houses, chaos was one thing. "But this was things they always do, am i right?" Vey appear out of nowhere, walking towards the sea of stampede.
"Aw shi-, need to get that." So far, we resolve all of the mane five variant were here. "Where the other Twilight were?" It was always what i always ask, but it sems was just in vain. I already trying to communicate with Princess Celestia, her answer has yet to be heard.
But i heard something else, a loud "Yeee-Haw!"
"Alright then." Tis seems the arrival of ze apple bucking season, John said he erase sum of my memory. But i remeber what would happen, or maybe there was twist.
"What's the plan?" I ask Vey, she went on full silent. I still can't take off the fact two Rainbow Dashes still together, it just feels wierd. "Met Jackie out of Apple, yes that was her nickname." I can only hold my laughter, one thing for certain. She smeels like Apple Sprite, "Odd."

"I see you from yesterday, you may state your problem. Now."
We saw Alter-Jack, she manually wash her own clothes. "Hey there Applejack, where is the other you?"
She fix her gaze towards Vey, shaking "I always forget that you were this tall, anyway she were on the farm. Gatherin' apples, don't want to be bothered." She said she have remembered what happened tomorrow, sadly she don't remember all of it.
"Alright then, you still remember where she go?" She point towards a single tree, apparently she still washing them clothes. "Damn, she did rememeber it."
"Thank you, we'll stop bothering you too. Rest well." Vey, respectfully ducked out of Alterjack's vision. I can only think, "Huh." Then i also duck away, to Applejack's current place.

.
"To do work, to do work, to do~ work! All work force focused on one, that was bucking all the apples down!" Truly, an unexpected music came from her.
Applejack appear exactly like what AlterJack told us, it was still unbelievable. "Hey, Applejack. Can we help?" She immediately stop humming the song, check on us. "No, i need to fulfill my oath." Vey looks suprised, then Applejack continue to get all the apples on the tree.
"Maybe we need to get out of here quick." I turn my head, "What in the actual fu-" Vey continue her step, leaving the farm.
I ask her "Why?"
"Tis i explain to you, an oath is something an individual swore for doing things. It will hurt their pride much if they can't fulfill their oath, such as i did." I realized, "Oh, that make sense." Thus i went out of the farm, but i have other idea in mind.
.
------[A fucking week later]------
.
We made a party for Applejack, the set up was a whole week. Already pack up several things like wine glass, a special "Juice" ,and a paragraph of gaslight.
I also saw TipStir there, Twilight gotten frustated over time. As her words intertwine with others over and over again, my main subject was the new control gear designed by Vey. It was already done, quite long for me to learn it but it was fun after all.
Vey gave it to Rainbow Dash, but not the Alter-Dash. However they both suprisingly good at using it, quite gross for me the two just toss it at each other and use it. "That was quite wierd, i personally said."
"I am inclined to agree." Two of Rainbow Dashes stare at us, one still have it on mouth.
"What? We literally the same pony." The one that have the control piece threw it at the other. "Like you won't do it at all, we literally share 100% blood with each other."
It was wierd enough, but it was more wierder when two of them talking.
"They seriously act like twins." Can't more gree than that, the end one of them stop. Store it on the other's mane, "I suggest you stop trolling."
The Mayor Mare start her speech "Hukhm, Without further ado. My priviledge to give 'Pony of Ponyville Award' our beloved guest of honor." I know where she was, still on Sweet Apple Acres.
"A pony with upmost trustworthyness." Vey, taking aback with this. Get out from my field of sight, effortlessly.
"Reliability, and integrity." Ehh, not really.
"Ponyville's most capable," Well, not now.
"And dependable friend-Applejack!" Thus everypony cheers, Spike make an embarassing moments.
Applejack appear faster than she should, with Vey and TipStir following her.
.
------[Several times later]------
.
'This shi- took an agonizing 20 minutes and-' I stop my thought as i feel a screaming trophy, dragged by an orange earth pony mare. None other than Applejack.
'Perfect tiemu!'
I step out of the shadows, "Hey Applejack, are you alright? Felt like you are out of that word."
Her teabag eye, it was the very consequenses she bear with her actions. She slowly open those eyes "Hm. Oh, it is just you Stardust." She yawn, then continue "Yea i am alright, nothing to worry here."
"Aaalright, if you say so." I pull out a wine glass and the drink, pull a little table from inventory.
"Let's try some juice, it's a new thing i have trying out." I pour it out to the wine glass, green juice with susbtance in it. I heard a faint sound of flight, i saw a green mare pegasi. TipStir, she cross our story again duh.
"I call it Emerald Splash." TipStir start to descend from sky, oh boy. this would be a bad time.
"Uaagh... I don't know, still have sum apples to buck." She tried her best to stay awake, TipStir take a look at me. "What are you doing? Oh, what is it?" This suprisingly gave me an advantage instead of problem.
"Stardust, why did you smile?" TipStir ask me, she seems to know my intention.
"Oh, alright. This is simply an energy drink, would you like some?" Iput on second wine glass, gave it to Applejack. 2nd i gave it to TipStir, i gave a wink to her, she stop moving.
Applejack drink the whole glass, she looks satisfied "Mmm, this is one of the best juice i ha-" She fall down, i save my wine glass from falling by TipStir. "Wha- Why did you do that!?" TipStir put an agression, i coll her down "Chill with it, it was just a napping potion. Not an instant death potion, you hollow boned."
"Better help me put her on bed, or- bring the trophy instead." We made our way to the Sweet Apple Acres, it was a hard conversation with TipStir.

"Why would i even want her dead?!" The most illogical reason to live with peoples, also a former human. It was a very frustating one just yet.
"Applejack! Thankyou for bringing her here, her condition worsen since." It is the first time since BigMac speak like a regular pony and not like Joe, he actually finish his sentence.
I kept bring her inside her room, it was a totally good time.
Opening whole bunch of opportunity, make everypony help with her megaproject. Consequently broken her oath.
.
------[Hours passed|------
.
"Here it goes." Applejack Yawn on sight, i approach. "Wh- why am i in bed?! How long am i out?!" Her legs was barely have energy left to buck the apples.
"Whao, whao, whao. Calm down, Applejack. You passed out when you drink the 'Emerald Splash' are you sure you alright Applejack? Cause the drink while having relaxing and sleep aiding sensation, being knocked out a whole hour is not normal.
This is sometimes, lies can help for good. This case, preventing other's demise.
Applejack put her hoof at her head, "I might be a little hard." She got her urge to go outside, but i put her back. "A BIT you said?!"
I proceeds to walk around saying "You have worked for a whole- week! Your body was screaming for rest and finnaly got it, maybe it's time for us to help you." I know what's next.
"Look, i apreciate your worries but i don't need any help." She fall down on her attempt to get out of her room.
"Don't need help?" I walk towards crawling Applejack, "APPLEJACK! IT IS NO LONGER 'HOW CAN YOU GATHER ALL THE APPLES ON TIMES!' IT IS NOW 'HOW CAN YOU STAY ALIVE?!" I fake a verge of crying, just for convenience. But my heart say otherways.
"THINK ABOUT IT APPLEJACK! IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN KNOCKED OUT BY THE JUICE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO WORK BY YOURSELF. YOU EVENTUALLY GOT ALL YOUR ENERGY RAN OUT AND DIED!" now my heart can't stop the guilt, it was purely out of my sould now. "WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR FAMILY?! US, YOUR FRIENDS WHEN YOU GO!?"
It surely don't hit her hard enough, she said "Uhh, it surely can't be that bad, right?" My mind got to the drama too bad, my heart flood my mind with real tears.
"NOT BAD?!" I pin her down to the floor, my tears flow down effortlessly. "APPLEJACK! THIS IS NO TIME TO BE STUBBORN!" I connect her mind to mind, trough my horn. "IF YOU DIED, THIS BAD THINGS WOULDFOLLOWS."
"Best case scenario: Granny Smith would end up in a coma, Big Mac will have to work alone, Apple Bloom? She might have been depressed. And yet the worst scenario."
"Worst case scenario: Granny Smith died out of shock, Applebloom did the unthinkable demise, Big Mac might also do the same. You know well what the others will do right?!"
Applejack, screaming for too much pushing me away "Enough! I got it, i'll take all of your help. Please just stop!" My things worked, it was a fruit for my emotion and plan.
"ANd-" I pressing her further with my hoof.
"Take a better care for ma'self." She shed some tears out of pain she recieve.
I put off my tears, calm myself down. "Alright, me and Big Mac will work around the Farm. You, take less work."
[Host, you might have traumatized her a bit]
'Sometimes, it was needed dear Ordis. Trauma is what shape an individual, it might not be on your data right now.'

"You convince her, consequently break her oath. Am i right?" Vey appear, still unhappy with the result. "An oath is still an oath, it depend on the individua-" Her speech anger me, need to be more harsh on her.
She stare down at me, i said "HOW COULD YOU BE THIS CASUAL WHEN YOUR FRIEND ON THE VERGE OF DYING?!" I don't see her flinch, she lower her head at me. "Did YOU think i don't experience that? How cute, anyway i am here for helping and not antagonizing."
Her words put me on the stage of fear, i snap out of it. My heart pounding, wanted more answer.
