It was another morning. Kaa woke up, the two pegasi still sleeping is coil. He came down to them and gave them a light squeeze.
" Wake up poniesss. Time to go ssse your friendssss." Kaa said. They slowly woke up.
" Go and get me another pony." The two walked to the edge of the branch and took off, flying towards Ponyville.

Applejack was in town buying some things for her family. Her saddlebags full from everything like food and apple seeds. She walked back towards her house. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash landed behind her.
" Hey Applejack." Rainbow Dash said. She turned around to see her good friends.
" Well howdy there. What'cha'll doin?" She asked.
" We were going to see if you wanted to see a friend of ours." Fluttershy replied.
" He really likes apples." Applejack thought about this for a moment.
" Alright, just let me drop off some things at the farm and we can go." Applejack walked to the farm while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew over her. She emptied out her saddlebags and filled them with apples and emergency rope instead.
" Ok, we can go now." The left the farm, Applejack followed the two pegasi to the edge of the Everfree Forest. She stopped.
" Whoa-ho, I ain't goin' in there." She said, backing away slowly.
" C'mon Applejack, don't chicken out now." Rainbow Dash said.
" Besides, our friend is only a little ways in there." Fluttershy comforted.
" Well, alright, if you say so." She slowly walked in, the two pegasi leading her to where Kaa was waiting.
Applejack started getting worried. It seemed like they'd been walking forever,(even though it's only been half an hour), and she didn't like this place.
" How much longer till we get to this 'friend' of yours?" She asked. They stopped.
" We're here. Rainbow said. It was only a clearing surrounded by trees. No one was here.
" Are y'all sure your friend's here?" Applejack asked. They started searching the bushes.
" I don't see nothin'." Applejack yelled. She felt something wrap around her leg, and was suddenly pulled up into the air. Her saddlebags fell off.
" LET ME GO!! I'm warnin ya. I'm the four time Rodeo Competition champion!" She swing her hooves left and right, trying to hit the person who grabbed.
" Calm down, I won'y hurt you." A voice said. She opened her eyes to see an upside down snake. He smiled at her.
" AAAHH!!! LET ME GO, LET ME GO!!" She yelled, trying to wriggle free. Kaa decided to toy with her before hypnotizing her.
" Alright, if you inssissst." He let her go. Applejack started falling toward the ground.
" AAAHH!!! GRAB ME GRAB ME!!! She yelled. When she opened her eyes, her snout was an inch away from touching the ground. Her eyes widened, sweat poured down her face from fright. Kaa slowly pulled her back up into the tree.
" I'm sssorry." He said, setting her back down on the branch.
" Iss that better insstead of upsside down?" He asked.
" A lot better." She replied. She reached behind her to reach into her saddlebag. It wasn't there.
" Hey!? Where's my saddlebags?" She asked. Kaa lowered his tail down and pulled up the saddlebags.
" Isss thiss it?" He asked, holding it out to her. She grabbed it and put back on her.
" Why thank y'all kindly. I'm Applejack. And who are you Mr. Snake?" She asked.
" Of coursse, I am Kaa." He said. Applejack reached into her bag and pulled out a big red apple.
" Since ya saved me in all, I thought I'd give you an apple. Grew it myself." She showed the apple to Kaa. He took it from her.
" Thanksss ssso much." He said, putting the apple on a higher branch for later.
" I'd best be on mah way. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash want to show me a friend of there's. She started walking, trying to find a branch she could lower herself onto.
" Oh. That would be me." Kaa said, Applejack turned around.
" Really, your their friend?" Applejack asked, walking over.
" Yes. They probably wanted me to ssshow you a trick I can do."
" A trick?" She said.
" Would you like to sssee it?" He asked.
" Alright, since it's that good." Kaa came closer to her. Applejack started to get a little creeped out as he stared at her.
" How much longer till you do your." She was cut off when Kaa's eyes started to flow with blue, green, and yellow rings.
" What the?" She said, feeling a little woozy. She wanted to fall down but couldn't look away from Kaa's eyes.
" Oh, looksss like sssome pony'ss feeling tired." Kaa said, watching as she swayed. He moved his head over to the right. Applejack had no choice but to follow his every movement. Kaa came right over her. She stood up on her hind legs to Kaa. He then suddenly came down to the branch, and Applejack laid down to follow him. He chuckled, watching as she followed him. He'd had enough fun now, and decided to carry on with hypnotizing her. He brought his tail down behind her and began wrapping her up. It felt nice, like a cozy blanket.
" It's time to ssee your friendss again Applejack." Kaa said. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flew up to them. Kaa flattened his neck so they could land, then turned it into a hammock for them. He set Applejack on his body along with the other two. Now that he had three, it shouldn't take long to get the other three.
