Applejack is in the orchard apple bucking as per usual, and after about the third tree she notices a peculiar colored apple in this tree's bunch.
"Huh, never seen a orange apple before?" She states quizzically when she hears a slight but familiar cackle. "Who's there?" She states as she darts around the trunk of the tree to investigate the noise. "I swear Discord you best be not fidlin' with mai orchard!" She confidently exclaims. Just then she spots a squirrel up in the tree's branches making a similar cackle to the one she heard before. "Ha ha, look at me yelin' at some varmint. Good thing Fluttershy ain't here to give me grief about it." Applejack laughs and mutters to herself. "Now what about this here apple, it sure is strange. I wonder how it tastes?" She said curiously. "I may just have to try it!" "Then again I can't show it to Granny if I do." AJ contemplates as the autumn wind softy blows. "I know I'll take a small bite and carry the rest back to the house after I finish this area." She says having made up her mind. As Applejack's teeth bit into the small fruit a mouthful of sweat juices filled her gullet. This had to be by far the tastiest apple she ever had! "Ouuuwee that's good!" She exclaimed with glee as she took another unplanned but instinctual bite. As she enjoyed the fruits of her labor the apple was executing it's effect unbeknownst to the small earth equine. Her once modest plot ebbed the swelled ever so slightly, her back legs contracted before stretching longer than they had been same could be said for her front legs. All four of her hooves receded before expanding in diameter even the apple she was very much enjoying seemingly shrunk in her hoof, her main and tail sunk in before blooming outward. And finally her head shrank before ballooning to a marginally greater size causing her beloved cowboy hat to look ever so off on her newly enlarged head! " I really need to stop, I shouldn't eat this whole thang!" AJ stated feeling very conflicted. " Buck it, I'll save the next crazy colored apple I see and show that to the fam! This one's mine!" She said greedily as she scarfed the remaining of the treat of an apple in her now larger mouth. "Man that hit the spot! Well time to get back to it" AJ said as she gathered up her bucket and trotted to the cart. She stopped for a moment realizing just how easy it seemed to pick up and how light the over all bucket felt. " Wow, guess I'm getting stronger than I thought!" With that she placed the bucket in the cart and began to head to the next tree when another cackle could be heard if ever so slightly but between the loading and the rolling of the cart's wheels she didn't quite pick up on it. Either that or she didn't pay it any attention. She breezed threw the rest of her area of the orchard knocking most if not all the apples down in one buck, due to her larger frame and stronger leg muscles. On her eighth tree she did manage to buck all of the apples at once causing her to exclaim, " Yehaw, I thought only Big Mac was capable of such a thing! I always thought he was pullin my leg when he told me he could do it! Hot dawg I can't wait to tell him that not only do I believe it can be done, but that I his sister can did it!" As AJ relished in her accomplishment another slight change was taking place in her body, she diminished again before swelling even bigger! Still not enough to fuss over but she was indeed larger than moments before. " Big Mac bes be ready for an apple buck-off here soon!" She said excitedly as she continued on her route, she ended up finishing in record time thanks to her snack and headed back to the barn to turn in the harvest. Along the way she spots.....
