After the tales of "flying pigs" from my world was told to Fluttershy, she felt so envious of me getting to see such majestic creatures.
Around a few hours I had to go and meet Applejack at a place called Apple Acres, judging from the name and location, it must have something to do with apples.
Rainbow Dash came on her cloud and raced down to the front of Fluttershy's cottage.
"Hey guys, you all done with the arrangements?" she asked."Yeah, Fluttershy has her bird chorus ready to sing at Celestia's party!" I replied, petting Fluttershy on the head.
"Y-Yes, Mister Alex was helping me gather more baby blue jays to sing with us, I'm so pleased." Fluttershy said contently.
"Well, we'd better get to AJ before she's back to bucking down more apples!" Dash said ecstatically.
"I knew it, apples in Apple Acres with a pony who bucks them down called Apple jack... totally saw it coming!" I thought to myself as I gave a fist pump of me being correct.
"I see,well, guess I have to go now Fluttershy." I said removing my hand from her forehead and walking towards Rainbow Dash and her cloud.
"Oh...okay, good luck on helping everyone, mister Alex." Fluttershy said smiling.
"Surprised she didn't say everypony." I said under my breathe as I got on the cloud Rainbow Dash was on.
"Alright, let's go, Apple Acres here we come!" Dash said readying her wings.
"Um...try not to forget , I'm on the cloud this time..." I said laughing a little.
"Ha ha, I'll try to be a little careful this time,Alex!" Dash said, putting up her right hoof like a "thumbs up".
We took off, without me falling off just in the beginning this time and we were already half way across the square of Ponyville.
"You know..." I said to Dash. "What's up, Alex?" She replied, still focusing on flying.
"I have this feeling that this Celestia woman...erm...princess pony sounds familiar to me." I said.
"Really, but you JUST entered Equestria, how would you know her now?" Dash said half focused on where she was going in the sky.
"Well, I know it's crazy to say, but I kno--" just before I could finish my sentence, Dash interrupted. "There it is, Apple Acres!" She said pointing to the chockful of apple trees.
"Whoa, this place is a livestock, I mean, it's full of apples and stuff, ha ha!" I said amazed by the sight.
Dash had descended onto the clearing where there was a barn. "Wow, I'm amazed I made it in one piece this time, nice flying RD!" I said giving a thumbs up.
All of a sudden Pinkie Pie popped out of the front of the barn shouting "TWITCHY TAIL!!!" while ducking into a nearby apple bush.
"Huh..?" I said, all of a sudden something heavy fell on my head. I fell slightly unconscious onto the ground.
"Alex, Alex, are you okay!?" asked Pinkie Pie, looking overhead.
"Alex...Ale...A..."The two voices were fading away. I completely passed out
"Ugh." I said still half knocked out from whatever hit me in the head. I started to recover slowly.
"W...w, st...ll...h...got...in...head" I started hearing voices, though one of them was new.
"What happened..?" I said waking up on a pile of hay.
"There's been too many hay encounters lately... starting to feel like Ezio..." I thought, shaking my head to recover of what was left from the pain in my skull.
"Oh, Ah was hopin' yer not too hurt, sugarcube." said the new voice.
Once I opened my eyes completely, I saw a caramel- colored pony standing beside me as I sat up on the hay.
"Uh...I'm guessing..." I paused.
"Is there somethin' wrong?" she questioned.
"You're Applejack, right?" I asked scratching my head.
"Heh, yer right 'bout that, partner." said Applejack, smiling. "Twi told me 'bout a mysterious creature her n' Spike found gettin' that checklist of hers done, wouldn't have reckon it'd be something like you, I thought you'd be slightly more fearsome n' such." She said, looking at me with peculiar eyes.
"For the last time I'm not a-- oh forget it, I give up...." I thought to myself.
"Anyways, the name's Applejack and there's no truth I ain't willing to lie 'bout!" She said offering a "handshake".
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you Applejack, my name's Alex, and there's no person other than me who's seen flying pigs!" I said "handshaking" Applejack's hoof.
"Beg yer pardon?" She said with a disturbed glare.
"U-Uh, nothing, ha ha..." I said trying to clear the misunderstanding.
"I hear you came from another world, ain't that so?" Applejack said trying to arrange some of the haystacks.
"That's right, thing is though, I have no idea how I got here...last thing I remember was getting hit by a--" I had held my breathe in an instant to not tell.
"Hit by a what?" asked Applejack.
"Nothing at all..." I replied with a sweaty face.
"Hmm, what's yer problem, Alex, somethin' troublin' ya?" Applejack asked looking at me with a serious expression.
"It's just that..." I paused for a while.
{"What's wrong with you, Alex?" asked Julia.
"Nothing. I just want to be left alone, okay." I said resting my head with my arms on the desk.
"Just tell me, otherwise you'll keep freezing up and you won't get your point across, and ano--}
"...thing!" said Applejack.
"W-What, huh, who..?" I said whipping my head around.
"Ya okay there, Alex?" She asked, trying to calm me down.
"Yeah, just... some stuff on my mind." I said drooping my head.
"Hmm, well anyways, we'd best be gettin' to preparin' for Celestia's party!" She said bucking the last of the haystacks she arranged into the assortment.
"Gotcha, so what are you in charge of for the party?" I asked looking around the barn.
"Well for starters, hows about helpin' me collect them apples out there, at least enough for the party!" Applejack said opening the two retractable doors to the barn, then all of a sudden Pinkie busted through the doors saying "TWITCHY TAIL" again as she ducked behind the assorted haystacks.
I was again confused by those words, then the moment I tried heading towards outside, Applejack jumped towards me and she landed on top of me with her hooves stamped firmly to the ground.
"Applejack, what in the world are you do--" Applejack raised her left hoof to view what she just saved me from, there was a crushed piano right where I was walking.
"W-What the..." I was planted still where Applejack had caged me.
"That there was a close one, that could have seriously hurt ya, Alex." said Applejack.
"Seriously hurt....SERIOUSLY HURT...THAT WAS A FREAKING PIANO, I COULD HAVE DIED!" I thought to myself with frightened eyes underneath Applejack.
"Good think Pinkie Pie came runnin' by before somethin' went wrong!" Applejack said sighing.
"I guess, but all she keeps screaming is twitchy tail, she told me is one of her..."Pinkie Senses" and I have no idea what that means." I said tapping one of Applejack's hoof to get off me.
"Well since yer new, I'll tell ya." She said dragging Pinkie Pie from her hiding place.
"Ya see, the thing is..." before she could explain, Pinkie Pie interrupted.
"Oooooh, I smell cupcakes!" Pinkie said, zooming out the barn without any hesitation.
"Uh..."I said still recovering from the shock of getting almost killed.
"I would asked where the piano came from also, but... never mind, heh." I said, trying to figure out where it did come from in the first place.
"Nah, it's fine and dandy... just should handle them apples while yer here, 'kay?" Applejack said tipping her hat up a bit.
"Yup, I DID come to help after all!" I said laughing.
"Just as long as there aren't anymore falling pianos as soon as we reach outside..." I thought to myself as I followed Applejack outside of the barn.
A few minutes have passed as I helped Applejack pick the apples needed for Celestia's party, it took a while, but we've almost picked the right amount. "We've almost picked enough, just wish we had an easier way to do it..." I said.
Something had came to mind, and I stopped picking apple for a moment.
"Ooooooooo wee, that roundin' up sure was fun, sadly though, we still need more apples!" Applejack said still bucking tree after tree.
"Hey Applejack!" I shouted to her.
"What in tar nation..!?" She replied, turning to look where I was.
"Watch this!" I said as I stood still giving a starting bow. I moved back to give myself a head start, aiming myself at an apple tree, then I ran forward, jumped into the air and did a somersault, kicking a load full of apples off the tree and ended with a backflip finish.
"Whoa, that was amazin', Alex!" Applejack said, stomping the ground as if she was clapping for me.
"Well, considering I'm kind of an athlete and all... it's nothing, but thanks Applejack." I said giving a final bow.
"Mind teachin' me some of those fancy moves, would make this apple collectin' a little more fun!" Applejack asked with a glowing face.
"Well, I guess a pony can be acrobatic...can they?" I thought to myself.
"Sure thing, I wouldn't mind teaching you, ha ha, it's not everyday that you come across a human as awesome as me!" I said, arrogantly walking over to the next nearby apple tree. I then slipped one of the apples I knocked off the other tree and fell flat on my face.
"..." I said nothing as I laid flat on my face in embarrassment.
"Uh..." Applejack was readying to say something.
"No...that wasn't part of my fancy moves, Apple..." I said bluntly.
I told Applejack that I'd teach her a few of my acrobatic skills after the party ordeals are over, she agreed to the decisions. Rainbow Dash came back on her cloud again to see how things were being handled, and decided to enjoy a little apple cider drink along with Applejack and I.
"So, how'd the apple picking go!" asked Dash.
She leaned towards me and whispered "Wasn't it booooooooring?" She snickered a little afterwards.
"Nah, it was actually kind of fun!" I said smiling.
"the sky seems to be darkening up a little, hey, don't you need to help Rarity with some decorations or something?" asked Dash.
"Yeah, good idea, ya'll better be gettin' ready for tonight, Ah'm sure Celestia'll be so surprised to see us throw her a big party!" said Applejack, sipping down the last of her cider.
After all of our apple cider was gone, and everything in order, me and Dash headed towards Rarity's Boutique.
"Hey Rainbow Dash..." I sad.
"Yeah Alex?" She replied while focusing on the her flying.
"I...kinda have this feeling that this place feels just like home, but...better" I said, hiding my face in my arms.
"He he... well Alex, Equestria is our world, and we always do what we can to keep it just how it is, just to...ooh nevermind, Twilight should be saying that sort of stuff!" Rainbow Dash said laughing.
"Heh..." I smirked a little and turned my head to the moonlight sky, looking at the stars.
"Yea..."
