Applejack had been harvesting apples for only a few hours, but she was already exhausted. Her dreams the past few nights had replayed that awful moment at the Gala when the room began to cave in, only instead of that annoying prince being the one being attack by birds, it was Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, or Granny Smith. Sometimes she would be trying to get to them and the birds would turn their cruel razor claws on her instead, tearing her to bits. Other times they would constantly push her away, letting her get close enough she could almost touch them before being pulled back. The worst were when she got to them only to find… Applejack hadn't slept well, not at all.

"Hi Applejack!" A sudden perky voice from right behind her startled Applejack to wakefulness and very nearly toppled her over. She turned around to see Pinkie Pie cheerily bouncing right behind her, full of energy as always.

"Howdy Pinkie Pie, sorry but Ah ain't got much time fer talkin'. These trees have gotta be bucked…"

"Oh, ok, I just thought I'd let you know there's somepony looking for you!" Pinkie turned in midair and began hopping off.

"Wait a… Pinkie!" The pony bounced back to her. "Who is lookin' fer me?"

Pinkie gave her a wide-eyed stare. "I dunno."

"What… but y'said…"

"I said somepony is looking for you. But I don't know who, silly filly, I just have a really strong itch in my left hind leg, and that usually means somepony is looking for Applejack."

Applejack looked at her disparagingly. "Uh… can y'be a bit more specific than that?"
Pinkie looked thoughtful. "Wellllll… it's probably not anypony you know, because if they knew you, they'd know you're out bucking apples! Because bucking apples is what Applejacks do, right? So it's somepony who doesn't know you like… ooh, like, like a stranger! Yeah, so now you know a stranger is looking for you! There you go!" Pinkie turned and began bouncing away again.

"PINKIE!" Applejack shouted. The pony flounced back, smiling. "What Ah meant was, is it a stallion or a mare, or is it a colt or a filly? What color are they, are they an Earth pony or a Pegasus or a unicorn? Ye got any Pinkie senses tellin' ya anything like that?"

"Nope!" Pinkie Pie said cheerfully. Applejack sighed.  "Bu I'm sure that w-w-w-h-o-o-o-a!!" Pinkie Pie's whole body began jittering from side to side. "A-a-a-a-p-p-l-e-j-a-c-k? This ones a d-o-o-o-o-z-y!"

Applejack had returned to  bucking trees, barely paying the pony any mind. "If it's some other pony decidin' to believe in yer Pinkie Sense then Ah reckon it will be a doozy…"

The jitters stopped momentarily. "No Applejack, that kind of doozy is shaking up and down; this kind of doozy is side to side. Whoever is looking for you must be really important. Of course every pony is really important in their own way but, ooh if this pony is so important we should celebrate them coming with a party! I'm gonna need a dozen balloons shaped like apples and a dozen more shaped like, oh but I don't know what that pony will like, that makes it harder. I know! I'll just get a bunch of balloons in all different shapes and he's sure to like some! And there will have to be cake and ice cream and maybe some games. No wait, this is a serious party so we don't need games we need dancing! What kind of music do you like, Applejack? I'm sure your extra-special visitor will like it too. Oh no, he could be here any minute and I haven't even started making the cake, not to mention getting streamers! Bye, Applejack, I'll see you at the party!" Pinkie Pie raced off, pausing only occasionally to jitter uncontrollably.

Applejack shook her head and continued working. Unless that 'really important pony' was Princess Celestia or Princess Luna, she didn't see why she should mess up her schedule to go gussy up. She was almost done with the row of trees she was on when she heard someone call her name. Flipping a few strands of dusty hair out of her face, she turned to see who it was.

"You ag'in!"
Part 3 is a cliffhanger! Dundundun! Even though everypony knows who it is.

Sorry I didn't upload yesterday, I was driving back from break to school. May add part 4 tonight too, I dunno.

I love writing for Pinkie Pie. I just start typing whatever pops into my mind for about two minutes straight then go back and fix spelling and stuff.

All rights are to Hasbro and Lauren Faust, you know the drill.
