APPLE FACTS 12: YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEM IS FIGHTING WORDS [Visual]

[caneattheseapples]

Well I sure as shit RSVPed. I mean hell if they're going to be so nice that they're gonna put me in their magazine a second time I'd be pretty damn rude of me not to. They're working their asses off to make me a star so I might as well grace them with my presence since they seem to want it so damn bad.

But hey, before we start deciding how we're going to burn their shit down - and I know this is going to sound hypocritical as hell of me - maybe we should try and play nice?

Look. These clowns want to see what we're like, right? So let's show them. Hell, even show them your rougher spots, you wanna. But don't show them the absolute worst you've got that isn't really part of you that they're trying to make in you. We've got an opportunity to prove who we are by going to this thing. So hell.

They wanna show us some movies? Let's go and watch their movies. We'll show them something else in return.

Seriously. Even if you aren't thinking of going right now? Consider it. It's gonna be a waste if you don't.

Well now, you've gone and read my mind.

[caneattheseapples]

They're going to send us invitations, it's just polite they meet the real us, you know what I'm saying?

I'm sure they've got some kind of bullshit in store for us. But we gotta try.

[superstylishsquid]

Oh, I'm sure they'll try to do something to get us riled up. But it would be just plain rude to respond to such a generous invitation with hostility, right?

[caneattheseapples]

Goddamn right it would. I'm not saying we should be the nicest assholes these ponies have ever seen. We just need to be ourselves.

And, hopefully, that'll be enough.

[twotailedgenius]

I'm definitely going. And if they want us to make a scene? We'll prove 'em wrong. ... well, assuming nobody usually makes a scene.

[caneattheseapples]

I'm sure someone will. Kind of hard to imagine not to.

But there's other ponies there than these jokers. Other ponies from this Equestria. We owe them the honesty of seeing who we are.

[twotailedgenius]

I guess you're right. And if they want to twist the story around, that's not something we can really change if we're just being ourselves.

[pirateponyprincess]

A this point, that is all I can ask.

I did not get an invitation, personally, so I will not be able to make an appearance.

[Visual]

[caneattheseapples]

Hell, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Anything actually does happen there worth knowing, you'll uh...you'll probably hear about it pretty soon.

[Visual]

[pirateponyprincess]

I will be taking steps to ensure that doesn't come to pass.

[shyformerassistant]

I'll be going. It'll only look bad if I refuse after all.

[caneattheseapples]

See, that's something I don't think you should care about. It looks bad? Flock them they think it looks bad.

If you go and you don't want to go, things are going to get worse. For you, more than anyone. Seriously. They're probably going to try and pull some shit.

If you think you'd be happier not going, then don't. Keep yourself safe.

[shyformerassistant]

It's okay. I think I can handle it.

If anything, getting to see some movies sounds like a lot of fun. Haven't seen one since I was in Manehatten.

[samplemygoods]

I already mailed in a polite refusal. I'll still be in Canterlot, but I have other business to attend to at that time.

[There's a slight pause, and a skeptical eyeing of the mare on the other end of the scroll.]

While they did go a bit far in calling you "psychotic", remember that you're going to be going to Canterlot. To a formal event. I... don't know if you had the same upbringing as the Applejack from this Equestria did.

[caneattheseapples]

I'm not going there to kick asses. I'm just going there to show them who I am.

[Jappleack smiles a little. Her voice isn't light but it is at least friendly.]

I'm gonna be me. Nothing more, nothing less.

[samplemygoods]

...Remember that you're going to be going to Canterlot.

To a formal event.

[Bon Bon glances aside nervously.]

Keep in mind how the upper crust will react to someone talking like they're at a Neighscar meet.

[callmeyork]

"Play nice" is a very strong term. I'll go, I'll behave, but I doubt they'll appreciate me peeking behind the scenes.

Like I care. I'm used to having people be less than pleased with my investigation methods.

[Text]

[caneattheseapples]

Hey dude, I'm not going to dissuade you. Like I said.

If we go there, let's let them see who we really are. Tell me if you find any kind of juicy lead too, cause I'm down for snooping.

[Text]

[callmeyork]

If I think anything is pertinent to you, you'll be the first to hear.

Before it gets inevitably disseminated over the scroll network. By my hand, of course.

[adandyinspace]

[And then there's Dandy.]

I'm going to knock all their shit over.

[Visual]

[caneattheseapples]

So I'm guessing you mean you're literally gonna go in there and just start tossing their shit to the ground, right?

[Visual]

[adandyinspace]

Anything not bolted to the ground is floorbound, baby!

[Visual]

[freeasthewind]

Well, I was considering not going, but now I have to. I just can't imagine you 'playing nice'.

[Hopefully you can tell she's just playing, Japple.]

[Visual]

[caneattheseapples]

I dunno what you're talking about. I can't even begin to imagine a nicer pony than me.

[Visual]

[freeasthewind]

Haha, yeah, I know. Deep down you're just a big marshmallow.

[Jappleack is one of the nicest ponies Feena's ever met, in her opinion. She did teach her how to walk on two legs again, so that's a major plus. And she'll never forget that.]

Anyway, I... I'm thinking of going. After a message from a member of Hoovesweek over a week ago, it sounds like it's more of a dangerous gang than just ponies who work on publishing a magazine. I can't help but get a bad feeling.
