"Hey ya, Big Mac. Are you wrappin up too?" AJ asked with a slight condescending tone. "Ehh yep" Big Mac nonchalantly replied. Applejack stared her bother up and down and couldn't help but notice that he seemed smaller overall. She chocked it up to euphoria caused by the boost in confidence from her one buck harvesting earlier. "Hey Big Mac, guess wut?" Said AJ smugly. "Hmmm" BM replied with a cocky tone not paying his sister much attention. "I believe ya now about that one buck all apples yield." AJ stated competitively. "Pshh" BM responded lazily not sounding impressed but turning to finally face his sibling for the first time since this encounter stated. "I believe you oh brother of mine because in the back there ah did it!" AJ stated boisterously bragging about the event. As he gazed upon his sister something definitely seemed off about Applejack Big Mac thought, and it wasn't her pompous attitude she was always competitive. "Shhsh" BM muttered in disbelief. "Oh, don't believe me do ya. Well frankly I'm glad!" AJ replied brazen with overconfidence. "Nope" BM stated matter-of-factly. "Is this here your last tree in your section?" AJ asked sternly. "Eh yep" BM answered swiftly. "Perfect, now stand back and I'll give you a demonstration even though ah already finished my share for the day." AJ said happily wearing a smug grin one her face. As applejack passed by Big Mac he figured out what was bothering him about his sister, she wasn't a whole lot shorter than him! "eh" He manged to mutter unsure of what his eyes where telling him. Applejack approached the tree and placed her front hove on it looking up ad counted 18 bushels out loud and proceeded to get in bucking position. She wound her back legs up and maintained a steady balance with her front legs, Applejack then closed her eyes to focus just before releasing her kick. She landed a devastating blow to the trunk causing a louder than normal crack and one by one all 18 bushels came down with tremendous thuds. Big Mac's eyes went wide he could not believe what he had just witnessed, he walked over to the plant to survey the haul with his mouth agape. "Not to shabby eh?" Applejack stated absolutely beaming. 'Eh yep" Big Mac responded bewilderingly still trying to understand and slowly putting the pieces together. He stared up at the tree as he walked around seeing if maybe she missed one or two bushels, but no the were positively no more apples in this particular tree. As this was going on Applejack was growing again while she dusted herself off. Once he reached the front again he stopped to survey the spot where the impact occurred he made a starling discovery. There was some bark chipped off the tree in the spot Applejack kicked as well as slight cracking, Big Mac had never seen such a thing before. She really did some damage! He turned to look at his sister to bring it to her attention and gasped at what he saw in front of him, it was Applejack but she wasn't the same. "Huhh?" Was all he could muster as he stared in denial at his significantly larger sister. She wasn't taller that him but she sure was close to it, and there father's hat was definitely more snug it looked a little silly to be honest. "What's the matter Big Mac, you look perplexed?" AJ stated not quite noticing yet. "Eh y-yep" stammered BM sheepishly. "Oh look at that there I did quite a number on this here poor tree. Be a dear and keep this our little secret. Can you do that for me Big Mac?" AJ asked regretfully sprinkled with an ounce of shame. "Eh yep" BM responded dutifully as if rogering up to orders. "Thanks a bunch "Big" Mac your a real sweetie pie." Applejack said nicely as she looked over at her brother and couldn't help but notice looked a lot smaller than normal. "Eh yep" replied Big Mac confused and more than a little weirded out by his sister sudden height increase, this would take some getting use to. Applejack and Big Mac began picking up the apples and putting them in the last bucket before loading them onto his cart. " So Big Mac do you know what Granny's got planned for super?" AJ asked innocently. Big Mac thought for a moment before responding with a simple, "Nope". The two headed back to the barn side by side raising to nearly the same height, Applejack had a bit of difficulty managing her cart due to it not being adjusted to her new size properly.
