01 Apple Pie

[downtoearthpony]

[Dawn has passed on Brady Lane, but only by an hour or so when sunlight has reached the newly appeared doghouse in 337's backyard. The doghouse contains an orange colored pony with a yellow mane, quietly snoring, as if unaware what awaits her when she wakes up. Which is actually the minute the sunlight hits her face. She's use to getting up when the rooster crows, after all. Of course when she finishes yawning and rubbing her eyes with her hooves, she's a little shock to see the unfamiliar surroundings.]

What in tarnation? I don't remember falling asleep in the barn last night... Wait, this isn't mah barn. Where in Equestria is this?

[Applejack steps out of the doghouse and looks around to see a strange and unfamiliar landscape around her. She's looking over everything, which isn't actually much what with the backyard fence blocking her view.]

Well, it's definitely not Ponyville... Or any place Ah've seen before. What's with the door there? Doesn't look like it's made for a pony.

[She's referring to the back door of the house of course, and she makes her way to it when she suddenly is jerked to a stop by the rope that has her tied to the dog house.]

Erk! Now who did this? Is this some prank of Dash's and Pinkie Pie's? Hmph, Ah'll be sure to give them a piece of mah mind if it is.

[She walks over to the doghouse and uses her teeth to untie herself from it. She can't really get to the part looped around her neck at the moment, but she'll worry about that later. Now is the time to get some answers. Which is why she walks up to the door with a determined look and knocks on it loudly with her hoof.]

HELLO?! ANYPONY IN THERE?! Y'ALL NEED TO COME OUT HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!

[She pauses and seems to glance up, as if noticing something for the first time before knocking again.]

AND YOU NEED TO GIVE ME BACK MAH HAT IF YOU HAVE IT, TOO!!

A reason? Without any warning or heads up? That sounds more like ponynapping if you ask me.

[Applejack looks around at the surrounding again.]

Though this seems to be a pretty normal suburb even if the houses seem a bit strange...

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I'm assured it's not, despite appearances.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Ah'm starting to think that mahself...

But reason or no, what are we suppose to do about our responsibilities back home? Or our families? Ah'm not just going to sit here on mah hooves if I can find someone with some answers!

[And Applejack is going to go back to knocking on the door unless otherwise stopped. Even if the person doesn't know anything either, they can at least provide some direction of where to look next, right?]

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor Sweetie Bell... I hadn't even thought of that!

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, once we figure out how to get back to Ponyville, we can check up on all our kin, and then we can look into what reason somepony dragged us here in the first place.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Don't you think the two are more likely to be related? If we find out how to get home, we'll probably know why we were brought here to begin with.

[Applejack ponders the possibility for a bit before responding.]

That might be true, but that kinda sounds like we're being held here until we give in to someponies demand, you know?

Ah'd feel a lot better about all that if we got to choose to help out, not forced into it. Ah mean, it's not like Ah wouldn't offer a helping hoof if somepony just asked...

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Well, there's no reason we can't lend a hoof here and there when needed. Especially if we're going to be expected to live in this place until somepony discovers the way out.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Ah guess you have a point, but Ah still feel like finding some answers. All this mystery just doesn't sit right with me....

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

It is rather ominous, isn't it?

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Which is why the sooner Ah get some answers, the better Ah'd feel.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Well, there must be somepony in town who knows what's going on here.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Well, if there is, Ah'm sure as shootin' going to find them!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Best of luck, then.
