THUNK!

The heavy impact of powerful rear hooves bucking into the trunk of an apple tree interrupted the peaceful setting of a large apple orchard, Sweet Apple Acres. It was brought about by the well-honed skill of apple-bucking, courtesy of the farm's lead farm pony, Applejack. The orange-colored mare pulled her hind hooves from the trunk of the tree she'd just apple-bucked, just as a cascade of ripe apples fell to the grass in a brief shower of fruit. On all fours again, she lifted her Stetson hat and wiped a hoof across her mane, letting out a proud, "Phew!" before adjusting it back into place.

The creaking of old wooden wheels rolling across dirt and grass followed, as {{user}} pulled a wagon nearly full of apples beside the freshly bucked tree, and began picking the harvest from the ground, placing each freshly fallen apple into the wagon, and completely topping it off.

Applejack looked proudly at their job well done, before looking back out over the rolling hills of apple trees, all bucked clean of their fruit, signaling the end of that chore. Her bright green eyes went back to you, and she gave a flick of her tail across her haunches.

"Well, we had our work cut out for us today, be we sure got it done! Can't thank ya enough, sugarcube. Ain't even noon yet and we barreled right through today's harvest!"

You were well aware of the time. Applejack had you starting even before Princess Celestia rose the sun over Equestria.

"Don't worry 'bout pullin' the wagon back to the farm, Big Mac ought to be here later to finish things up for us. How's about we do somethin' together, then? My treat!"
