011 Bushels ❦ [Video/Action for Violet]

[buckyouup]

[Applejack is standing under a tree, her gaze locked on a single red apple hanging from a branch. She grits her teeth. Dumb human body. If she was a pony, this wouldn't be any problem at all. But damnit, she was hungry. She had to try.]

Alright, Applejack. It's just like back home. Nice an' easy, no problem.

[She backs up a couple steps, before running at the tree. When she gets close, she brings up her leg, forcing it into the trunk of the tree with all her might. She stays there, for a moment, glaring at the trunk, which hasn't budged an inch. The adrenaline quickly wearing off, Applejack yelps, rolling off the tree and grabbing her ankle.]

Dang it! Dumb apple, why can't you just fall!?

[Suddenly, shifting in the branches! AJ's eyes quickly dart up, smiling in expectation. She closed her eyes, holding out her hands. Soon that delicious ruby would be in her hands, and she'll finally be able to--OOF!]



[Applejack's eyes widen as the much-larger-than-an-apple pokemon lands on her chest. The Pineco's eyes narrow, growling.]

Uh, hey there, sugarcube. Let's not get too hasty...

[The feed cuts with the sound of an explosion.]

Comments

[buckyouup]

[She sighs.] The names sound so familiar, too.

[friendyousohard]

Well, I'd say that's a sign your memory's coming back. You'll remember everything soon enough.

[That could be a bit of an overly optimistic viewpoint, but then, she is trying to be reassuring.]

[buckyouup]

I hope you're right, Twilight.

[friendyousohard]

[That somber expression is unmistakable. She can't really think of how best to cheer AJ up, so she just rests a hand on her shoulder and gives it a reassuring rub.]

It'll work out, Applejack. I'm... not quite sure how, yet, but I know it will.

[buckyouup]

You're right. I know you're right. I just... feel so bad. Leavin' y'all here, then forgettin' this place ever existed.

...It ain't right.

[friendyousohard]

It's not like you did it on purpose. That's just... something this world does.

Or whatever's bringing us to this world does, at least. My point is, it isn't your fault.

[buckyouup]

Alright. If you say so, then I believe you.

[friendyousohard]

That's all I ask.

[Shoulder pat.]
