"Tucker? Tucker!" Tucker was roughly shoved off of his sofa and sprawled out on the ground.
"What the fuck? Was that necessary?" Tucker yelled at his assailant. Rainbow Dash peered her head around the sofa with a big grin a her face.
"Oh, that was priceless!" She smirked and walked back into her room, supposedly waking Grif up. Tucker heard a shriek and a soft *thump*. Tucker walked in just to see Grif sighing and shakily getting up. Hoofs were not something the *once* humans were used to.
"Alright, both of you lazy flanks are up! Great, I promised Applejack I would help her with something, you guys get to come with me."
"Lady, I don't think you understand how I operate," Grif started but was quickly silenced by Tuckers hoof.
"Before you continue with that statement, let me point out, no one knows how you operate. Your as predictable as the weather."
Rainbow Dash gave both of them a confused look. "Well then wouldn't he be easy to know? I mean for us pegasi the weather is easy to predict. We are always spot on to!" Grif and Tucker gave her bewildered looks.
"Blue, where we come from, the weather is probably mans biggest enemy in science. Nobody has figured out how to accurately predict it yet." Tucker said, shocked at his own words.
"Wow Tucker, that is the smartest thing I think you ever said."
"I have my moments," Tucker replied with a shrug. After the exchange Rainbow Dash, Tucker, and Grif all headed out for Applejack's farm. After Rainbow getting agitated with the boy's slow flying, they finally made it after only one accident. Which was undoubtedly done by Grif.
"I'm hungry," Grif whined.
"I'm sure Applejack has some food," Rainbow dismissed his comment with a flick of her head in his direction. Walking up to the door, the three newcomers all knocked.
"Ah'm a comin'," came AJ's country accent. She opened the door and let them all file into the house.
"So, Applejack, what did you need us for?" Rainbow asked with a confused look.
"Well, Ah only asked you, Ah didn't expect the other two." She pointed a hoof at the other two stallions in the room. After hearing the door open Sarge and Washington both came down the steps smashing into each other along the way.
"Come on Sarge! Your better than that, I thought you already knew how to use stairs." Grif smirked.
"I may not know how to use stairs with these new limbs, but I still know how to beat your ass." Sarge retorted.
"Haha! You can't catch me now Sarge, I've got wings now don't forget." Grif returned the comment.
"Who's to say I won't just rip them off and kill you while your down?" Sarge smugly replied to a shocked Grif.
"Psst, Rainbow," Grif whispered, "how bad would it hurt to get my wings torn off?"
"Probably worse than every pain combined." She replied with a shrug. Grif shuddered at the thought of more pain than getting kicked in the nuts more than once in 10 minutes by a crazy fucked up freelancer. He looked back at Sarge's growling figured and slowly whistled. With a smug smile Sarge returned to looking at Applejack with returned attention.
"Anyway, Ah reckon yall can help me out on fields right?" Everyone gave a nod except Grif who was silently whining in the corner. At least most thought it was whining, to Sarge it sounded like he was saying "fuck" over and over again.
"Well I thank ya kindly, bits have been tight around here and as much as Ah hate to admit it, I need someponies help for a day."
"Oh come on Applejack, you know I can do this in 10 seconds flat." Rainbow said with a smirk.
"Hold on there Rainbow, you might want to save that speed for later when Ah beat your flank at picking apples." Applejack returned the challenge.
"Your on," Rainbow said with a determined smile. She rocketed out of the house towards the apple orchard. Applejack smirked and ran after her towards the same destination. Leaving the group of stallions very confused.
"So what do we do?" Tucker asked the rest of the group. They all shrugged and Grif was the first to come up with an idea.
"I say we just stay here, eat, and maybe take a morning nap." Everyone nodded their heads except Washington.
"We should go help, just because you guys are used to being lazy, doesn't mean you should." Surprisingly that came out of his mouth, he had been the most skeptical about lodging with a complete stranger, however, he had gotten used that they would be here temporarily and he should try to enjoy it while it lasted. With a sigh Washington started out towards where he thought they were going. He stopped and turned around to see if the others had followed him. He notice that all of them grudgingly were slowly following him, he let himself smile a little.
After a small while of walking they had finally made it to the outskirts of where the girls had gone. Grif was complaining about his hoofs and Tucker was busy flying around above the trees. Washington sat down at waited for Tucker to return with details on where the girls had went.
"I want the cupcake!" Caboose's scream shattered all the ears in the bakery. Pinkie was giggling as she was keeping a very tasty cupcake from Caboose. He wildly swung his new appendages around trying to grab the cupcake from her to no avail. Just when he gave up and gave Pinkie his best "sad" face she finally gave in.
"Ok I guess you can have it now, you where a good boy." Pinkie said trying to keep herself from giggling.
"Yay!" Caboose then proceeded to shove the entire cupcake down his throat. He didn't even savor the taste but the look on his face must have been pure bliss. Pinkie laughed some more then returned to the next customer in line. She was getting accustomed to the new stallion very quickly because of the same personalities they shared. She let herself a small smile and handed over the next customers order.
