Twilight Sparkle is being sent to Ponyville to learn about friendship. She's not happy about it.
So this was the first chapter that I felt was rushed to the point of requiring a second attempt. A take two if you will.
Following chapters will not be so fast out of the gate.
Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student
by milesprower06
Applejack and Fluttershy letters by Yinhuman
Bats! (Addendum)
Dear Diary,
So, it seems that for the second year in a row, Big Mac is unable to help with Applebucking Season. His excuse this time? Going with Granny Smith to check out their competition in the contest they've entered. Apparently, the winner gets a starring role on that new reality show, Buck Dynasty.
Anyway, to that I say, horseshit. More like Big Mac had a chiropractor appointment because he threw his back out boning that damn school teacher. I refuse to believe that this contest is so fucking important that Big Mac and Granny Smith think it's okay to leave Applejack to tend the farm alone during harvesting time. Because, you know, that worked so well last time.
But she barely even got started before discovering that the apples were rotten and dry, the culprits being vampire bats. Apples aren't the only victim; I hear vampires can make books pretty rotten and dry too. So Applejack wants to get rid of the bats, as is her right on her property, but Fluttershy wants AJ to pursue a more peaceful solution. Since AJ's part of the song was better, we all side with her. Mob mentality and all.
So with a little research, I decide to use a spell to force the vampire bats to stop eating all the apples, because once again, forcing animals to break from their natural habits worked so well last time. Turns out we accidentally turned Fluttershy into a vampire. Or is that a vampony? Eh, who the fuck cares. I finally have a legitimate excuse to drive a stake through one of my friends! Whoo! Wait, what? Oh, sure, now Applejack wants her friend back. She can be all merciless to the bats, but when it comes to the pony who wants to sacrifice part of her orchard? Nope!
So after forgetting every immobilization spell I knew, we simply stun Fluttershy still by showing her that ugly ass face of hers. Now that she's back to normal, Fluttershy's off to form PETA; Ponies for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I hear Applejack's planning a rival organization, FEMA; Famers for Evicting Murderers of Apples.
-Princess Twilight Sparkle
Dear Fluttershy,
Who carried you up a mountain, rounded up all the bunnies for your little census, sells you discount produce to feed all your billion pets, constantly steps between you and life threatening danger, practically feeds the town you live in, whose family MADE the town you live in based solely on the apples we produce, and is the most honest and dependable of ponies who happens to have made it abundantly clear that my orchard is my livelihood?
-AJ
Dear Applejack,
Screw you and everything you've ever done for me, migratory wildlife's right to destroy your life is more important than years of friendship, and the desires of my best friend / alicorn princess. Oh and the apple you've worked all season growing, only stopping to save my hide over and over again that looks delicious enough for me to eat? I've already proven that I'll eat a cake that's not mine; your super apple is toast.
-Fluttershy

First!!!! ,
Great chapter :D can't wait for next weeks episode
Oh yeah, I kind of missed that style of writing. It's been forever since you've done that. You should probably write diary arguments more.
I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't make some sort of genetically enhanced produce joke. But alas this is a good letter, it's nice to see that they'll be more fleshed out in coming episodes.
I still stand by the theory that Twi (or any unicorn) can only cast one spell at a time. That's why they had to distract Fluttershy instead of Twilight holding her with magic. Although why they didn't have Rarity hold her is a valid question.
3698307
Except that we've seen twi cast three separate spells simultaneously while dealing with an ursa...
3698386 I think that was a sequence of spells one after the other, I'd have to rewatch it to be sure but I'm fairly certain that they didn't technically overlap, except for things levitating which is the same spell done on multiple items. This is just my theory though I could be wrong.
Now, now... that's herd mentality
btw...
> FEMA; Famers for Evicting Murderers of Apples.
I think you meant "farmers" ;)
This wins the whole friggin' Internet.
Ah, damn. I thought there was going to be a reference to her still having fangs. Whatever that may imply.
My thoughts exactly - I was like "hey, in Castle-Mania she immobilised all her friends, and now she can't stop Flutterbat?"
Well, if Fluttershy was really turned into a vampire, boxing her in with mirrors probably wouldn't have worked....
Better by far -- and an assertive PETAshy could be a PITA for everypony. All Flutters needs to do is figure out the power of legal magic and she could tie many ponies up in court for years.
Brilliant, good job of finding/exploiting the cracks. I bet AJ wanted to be left home alone, so that she could have a roll in the hay with Braeburn without anypony seeing them.
Much better than the other one! Poor Aj had to be the pony who was "wrong" all along in the end and Shy was made absolutley 120% and very clearly "right": Pests > AJ's livliehood in Shy's opinion. Hardcore.
Also about the animal instincts. They are called "fruit" bats not "apple bats", so all Twi did was takng their desire for sucking apples dry. They could still go and suck other fruits for all they care. Plus the spell Twi found must have been made by some Unicorn before as solution to this pest problem since they don't seem to listen to pegasi/ponies in general given how they treated Shy when she talked to them. So probably some Unicorn mage used it on an Orange farm and the bats just changed their ways and thus entered AJ's farm with new lust for apples since they didn't liked oranges anymore. XD

Maybe the spell only works on friends.
3699061
Hmm, it can form an interesting combination with "Want it, need it" spell...
Remember kids, capitalism and conservative values are wrong and immoral! Embrace the hippie, non-successful lifestyle and screw over a hardworking farmer of your own today!
3699051 WE HAVE A WHOVIAN OVER HERE!!!!!
3698864
Don't you mean with Cassandra?
3698453
Even with only one spell being sustained at a time, Twi could still have caught Fluttershy, then had AJ tie her up before casting the de-fanging spell. But then we wouldn't have gotten the vampires + mirrors moment.
Smarter still, Twi could have snagged her, moved her to the mirrors, and then let the mirrors do their thing, thereby saving AJ's prized apple. Of course, for this story's Twi, she'd deliberately not do that just to screw over AJ, and make that clear in the diary entry with some sort of sexual metaphor involving apples. Something like:
If AJ's going to polish anyone's apple, it should be mine.
Now THAT was more like it!
I can tell Fluttershy(Zerg) and Applejack(Terran or Protoss) would start a war for control of the Apple Tree Farm. I'm taking Fluttershy's side because she is awesome.
Oh Fridge Logic, you so funny.
Dear Applejack,
Those bat flashlights I gave you? Yeah, I want them back, now!
Don't you bother arguing with me. You know who I am, I'm the God Damn Batman!
Sincerely, Batman
P.S. Did you ever consider putting that cape of yours to good use? You'd make for a much better sidekick then Robin. And I'm not just saying that because Robin quit and became Nightwing.
3698029 Seriously dude? You know how people feel about those kind of comments.(I'm talking about "First")
3699767 OHMAHGURD WHERE!
This one seemed... much harsher than the other ones. Maybe I just haven't read one in awhile, but it almost sounded like one of my Steam calls, with the number of curses dropped per paragraph. It was still good just... I don't know. I don't really even know what I'm saying, just felt the need to put it out there. Maybe someone here can put to words my little nagging voice.
3699773 Heck, no. Just because everypony wants to sleep with Cassandra doesn't mean she has to oblige them.
3699932 That is a valid point, I've noticed a lot of stuff doesn't make sense this season, oh well. Also yes, disgruntled Twilight would say something like that.
I think Celestia is going to be more then a little pissed that Fluttershy is trying to turn PETA (Ponies for Eating of Tasty Animals) to PETA (Ponies for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)... This can't end well when the response version of this comes out.
3701500 they're EVERYWHERE
Holy shit man,this is perfect. I can see every one of them doing this too. No matter what keep up with the episodes, this is just too good.
3701152
Well, the pic DOES show Discord and Discord loves to start chaos...so you fell right into his trap, I think
3704548 RUNNNNN
Luna damn it! Why did you have to make a Duck Dynasty joke? They're all over the place where I live. Bobble heads, T-shirts, plushies, posters, television, I can't get away from them!
Between the two Letters chapters you wrote for this episode, I actually prefer the first chapter over this second one. This chapter was a bit rant-heavy, whereas the first chapter was shorter and punchier (Note that I am speaking for myself and myself alone when I say this). Nevertheless, this second chapter was definitely more thought out than the first. Good job.
3699932
You read the Sexcapades story, right? Applejack tried polishing her apple once. She failed. Spectacularly.
Yeahhhhh.
This was just, well, bad. I'd much rather see a well thought out one to a rushed one.
On a side note, could you update these on Mondays? I don't have the HUB here and iTunes only releases the EPs on Monday. If you don't mind, that is...
~Skeeter The Lurker
3721425 Applelox as a Daedra makes...too much sense, actually.
Nice chapters this week. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle:
I'm so glad you and your friends get along so very well
And by the way, I got Fluttershy a free ticket to that competition. I'll bet she'll really enjoy all that delicious and humongous fruit
Your faithful monster-breeder, Princess Celestia.
P.S.: We already have an organization called P.E.T.A., so Fluttershy's gonna have to find a new place to make her club. May I suggest a particularly comfortable crater on the moon?
(Again, sorry for the delay. Vacation without internet sucks )
Dear Flutter
shybat,I hate to disappoint you, but P.E.T.A. already exists. Although, we would love to have you join this group; I do not believe it matches your taste.
Your meat-loving tyrant,
Princess Celestia
P.S. Your fangs are all the better to be eating with...
((I promised I would find or make a group dedicated to PETA, and now I have. Sorry for the delay, no Internet on vacation.))
Wait... FEMA as in Federal Emergency Management Agency? That one that they think is going to round everyone up into camps and force the U.S. into a police state?

''die''
Fluttershy's going to bucking kill me in this story
You devil. That's hilarious. Oh, don't forget about the movie!
With her part of the song, Applejack proved to be the master debater.
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there. Git r done.
KBO.
"I've already proven that I'll eat a cake that's not mine;"
What's this a reference to?
4940525 the cake is a lie
