YANK
 

@Vaidelot
 
Rainbow Dash flapped and yanked against the rope, grunting in her attempt to escape. “Hey! What the—!? Why can’t I lift you?” she squeaked in disbelief. “It’s been established way back in Season 1 that I can lift you!”
 
“Artificial leverage magic,” said Applejack through the rope. “Super strength don’t help much if what yer standin’ on ain’t also super-durable. It also works the other way, when pullin’, and yer leverage comes from gravity. Ah didn’t have a good grip on it back then, but Big Mac has been helpin’ me get control over mah natural magic. Remember that scene in the Season 7 finale where Ah bucked a huge boulder? That sucker would’a pressed me into the dirt otherwise.”
 
“No fair! Earth ponies aren’t supposed to be on even footing with the other tribes!” Rainbow screeched, her face red. “The show and most parts of the fandom both imply that they’re inferior!”
 
“Tough luck, sugarcube. New canon overrides old canon.”

Cider Theft is a serious crime.  
There will be consequences.

Next shot: AJ clings for her dear life while dangling hundreds of meters above the ground. Dash has pretty good lifting power after all…

I’d love to catch myself a wild Rainbow Dash

“Oh boy I get to shoot somepony!”

Love that devious smile. She has plans for Dash~
 
Also, that reflection in her eyes is a very nice touch

Gotcha now sugarcube!
