This turns into a light competition between the two to see who can respond to trouble the fastest.

When [[Bulk Biceps (EG)|Bulk Biceps]] cries out for help in the water, Applejack and Timber both swim out to save him, but they pull him in opposite directions. Bulk starts to cry, not wanting to see Applejack and Timber fight. The two lifeguards realize their competition has been silly and that they actually make a good team, and they pull Bulk to shore together.
