Poor Applejack… Still she’s much more luckier than Rainbow Dash.  
Remember, never stand in the way of a high enegry pellet!
 
My fist attempt at making smoke in Photoshop. It did not turn out as I expected it should look like. Damn!
 
 
Twilight: Good job, Applejack! You are only forteen seconds behind Rainbow Dash!  
Applejack: Twili, Ah know it’s good and all but these energy balls of yours, it scorched my posterior!  
Twilight: It’s only your fault, AJ. I warned you about these pellets well in advance.  
Applejack: Ah know, ah know… It just hurts a bit…  
Twilight: You can meet the medic after our tests are over. Now, please, move to the next chamber.  
Applejack: Is it okay, Twili, that there’s black smoke rising from my burnt butt?!  
Twilight: I’m not a doctor, Aj, I’m a scientist. And the quicker you handle these tests the quicker you’ll get your cake! Now, move on to the next chamber. NOW!
