Ch 10. Two angry mares.
A/N: I have decided to start at the begin of season 1 with some of the stuff that happens. I will skip some, but most will get in. Any ideas? Say it in the comments.
I open my eyes, hearing a cock crow and the first thing I see is a doll, it is a bit ragged and worn out. Where did this come from?
I hop of the bed and stretch a bit. I think I slept pretty well, but the bed says otherwise. It is all messed up and one of my pillows is hanging from the wall. Wasn’t there a painting there yesterday.
I put it in my back. I really need to learn magic, but a grown ‘unicorn’ that can’t use magic. I really need to think of a good story for that one. Horn rot? A magic disease? Magically retarded? Those all seem like stupid ideas, and I’m not even sure if the last one exists.
I open the door and walk down the hallway. I look out of the window and see that the sun has just risen. I walk down the stairs and hear a crescendo of sounds come from the kitchen.
I walk in and sit down on the table. “Morning.” I say while looking over the table. Applebloom is eating some oatmeal with bits of apple in it and Applejack is eating some apples. Granny Smith and Big Mac are nowhere to be found.
A resounding ‘hello’ comes from the two mares. “Do any of you two know where this doll came from?” I ask while putting it on the table grabbing some apples from a large bowl in the center of the table.
“That is mine. Ah put it in your bed.” She says while pulling it towards herself and hugging it a bit.
“And why did you put it in my bed? I ask, almost getting an heart attack from the cute that is happening right in front of me.
“I heard that ya were struggling in yer bed so I gave ya ma doll to help ya calm down.” She says, her voice a bit muffled by the doll.
“Thank you. I do have a lot of trouble sleeping lately, but thanks for doing that.” I say while giving her a rub on her too darn cute head.
I grab a plate and grab a daffodil sandwich from the huge pile that is sitting in the middle. And those tastes good, I never thought that pony food could taste so good.
We eat in silence for a few minutes and then Applejack cleans up her plate. “Leo, we’re gonna go start buckin’ again in a few minutes. Are ya coming?” She asks while putting her plate in the kitchen sink. She turns to Applebloom. “Are ya fine with goin’ ta school alone?” She asks, a bit concerned.
“Yes, do ah have ta say this again. Ah’m not a foal anymore.” Applebloom says, a bit annoyed.
“Just make sure that ya get there safe, sugarcube.” She says while muzzling her little sister. I am going to have a lot more heart attacks, this is too cute. Applejack walks off into the orchard.
I clean up my plates too after I made the sandwich pile shrink a lot. “Bye, Applebloom. Have fun at school.” I say very cheery as I wave at her while walking out to the orchard.
“Bye.” She says while waving her arms faster than should be possible.
I walk out into the orchard, following Applejack through the orchard towards the eastern portion of the farm. She stops when she reaches the back of a large row of apple trees. I walk towards her and stop besides her.
“We gotta buck two rows of them apple trees today. So get buckin’!” She shouts as she walks towards the first one and starts bucking them.
This is going to last a long while. What wrong can some hard, honest work do for you.
I buck my way through many trees before I see a rainbow colored streak fly across the sky. And it is approaching me, fast. That is just my luck.
When the pony that is attached to the streak almost reaches me I close my eyes and jump to the right, trying to avoid her.
I hear a large crash behind me and I carefully open one eye. I see: 1 Rainbow and a large pile of earth covering her.
She digs herself out and walks towards me, very angrily. “Where the buck were you. You just left and didn’t return. I searched for you all day and you’re just sitting here, bucking trees.” She yells while giving me a hard shove that pushes me to the ground. “You don’t even come say that you’re here.”
I can see that her face is a little damp, but that doesn’t bother me, the thing that does is how she acts after she bucking bucked me out. “You mean that I had to come back after you bucked me out. I just got some water on you and you get mad over that. You should be the one apologizing instead of me. What a friend you are!” I yell back at her, my mind going blank with anger.
Just a little side story. When I was in high-school I already had a lot of problems with getting into fights already, but once I got into the university it got way worse. I got into bar fight, fights over money and even fights in the college classroom. I went to therapists and so many other people who wanted to help me, but they couldn’t. I eventually had to take pills to calm me down, but not that I haven’t taken them in a while anything small can rile me up. This can get bad in the future. This was actually the reason that I started watching the ponies. One of the therapists recommended watching children shows to help calm me down, so he introduced me to My Little Pony. It helped some, more than anything else. And I got hooked on the show and continued watching it. So I think being in Equestria should be a good replacement.
When my mind returns to the land of the living I don’t see Rainbow, just one very angry looking Applejack approaching me. Today is just not my day.
