Voila! The reason for Applejack’s predicament! You can imagine both Applejacks and Cherilee’s surprise when the two earth pony mothers found out they were having a UNICORN for a daughter! (Cheerilee comes from a long displaced line of unicorns). Don’t get her wrong Apple Jack looooves her daughter to apple bits, but she doesn’t have the first cluuue on how to raise a unicorn and teach her magic at. all. And Cherilee never bothered to ask her unicorn family members for any advice so… shes stumped as well

And lets just say the thing about unicorn colts is that their magic is clooosely linked to their emotions and the more they repress their magic the more ….flamboyant it becomes. HonesTea for example had just been throwing a mild tantrum before a bolt of blue shot out of her rendering her surprised.

And with recent events becoming more chaotic Applejack has no other choice but to “Twiiilight!”
