She saw the pleading and the fear in her friend’s eyes how could she possibly turn her down now? Feelings as though there was no other option, she nodded warily and Applejack smiled. Twilight furrowed her brow and opened her mouth to protest but couldn’t find the right words. If Ah don’t meet Filthy Rich’s quota, Ah’m gonna lose the farm!” Applejack said. Seems Granny Smith has gotten us into quite a financial pickle. “Twi, Ah wouldn’t ask if it weren’t absolutely necessary. Besides, you’d be using it to keep up your strength all I needed it for was to stay awake a couple more hours for reading.” Twilight said. I haven’t perfected that spell yet and I have no idea what kind of side effects it might have. “Well, Ah may not be studying late into the night, but Ah will have to figure out a way ta stay awake long enough to get those zap-apples harvested.” Applejack said, leading Twilight to come to the conclusion on her own. “Yes, but how will that help you?” Twilight asked. If Ah remember right, it was supposed ta help ya stay up studying on the nights Princess Celestia gave you those ridiculous reading assignments.” Applejack said. “Ah seem to recall a spell you said you’ve been working on. “Then what did you need from me? Anything I can do to help, I’m happy to do it.” Twilight said with a smile. Ah didn’t come askin’ for your help like that.” Applejack said. “Ah know, Twi, you’ve got a lot on your plate already. “Oh Applejack I… I want to help, I really do but…” Twilight started. “That’s precisely why Ah’m here.” Applejack said. “Wait, if Big Mac’s too sick, who is going to help you harvest the zap-apples?” Spike asked. Doc says he’s got to stay in the hospital for a few days…” Applejack added, trailing off towards the end. “Oh Applejack, I’m so sorry!” Twilight said. Darn fool was out in the sun so long he went and got himself sick with heat stroke.” Applejack said sadly. I think he was hoping to make up some more money before the zap-apples got here. He caught wind of Granny’s debt to the Rich family and worked himself to the bone harvesting apples. “Tell me what’s happened.” Twilight said. Ah need ya.” Applejack said, finishing her second glass. I offered to help but… they said I’m needed here.” Twilight said, slightly offended they wouldn’t allow her to come along. “Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are looking into it. “Ah was afraid of that.” Applejack said, sighing softly. It seems pegasi are having a hard time finding enough water to make clouds, let alone rain!” Twilight said sadly. I’ve heard that rainbow production has completely shut down for the time being. There’s a terrible drought all over Equestria. It seems Ponyville isn’t the only place suffering this heat. Twilight quickly pulled it away and re-filled it for her. “First thing’s first: have ya heard anything from Rainbow Dash regardin’ the weather?” Applejack asked, finishing the last drop of water from the glass. “What’s happened?” Twilight asked, concern rising in her voice as she watched her friend. “Ah came to you because Ah have no other option.” Applejack started, panting between gulps of water. “Quickly, sit down, what’s wrong? Here, drink this.” Twilight said, offering her a refreshing drink of water. She was once again drenched in sweat and had dark circles under her eyes from a clear lack of sleep. It’s a lot of things really.” Applejack said. “Applejack, what is it?” Twilight asked soon after. “Is something wrong AJ?” he asked warily. Spike, Twilight’s number one assistant, made it to the door before her and let Applejack in. Twilight Sparkle was startled when she heard a loud frantic knock at her door.
