Sweet Apple Acres-Several Years ago

"Six! Six! Six let Big Mac Get it! It's fine he wants ta! Don't go anotha branch higher!"

A very young applebloom had been flying a kite and it got stuck in a tree,granny smith had taken her into the house to make a new one and stop her crying but seeing as how apples need to grow on trees it was hardly effective to have a kite stuck in them, before the decision of how or who would remove the kite was actually determined Six had Took it upon himself to get it...with no experience in climbing.

"Six-String you lunatic! Get Down!"

"Sorry Ma'am. But I gotta get that kite, lil apple bloom cryin like that don make me feel good."

"She'll get over it! Get down!"

"She shouldnt needa get ova it, gettin ova it is what ponies like me gotta do. Innocent lil ones like that, betta off not havin to learn that lesson till latah!"

It was Bic Mac who spoke next, not quite a stallion yet but easily twice the size of anypony his age

"Get down from there, Dontcha believe I can get it?"

To hear bic mac leave his vocabulary was something six hadn't ever heard before

"Six! Just grab it with magic!"

"No! ya said no magic on yer farm!"

"Ferget what I said! Grab it with yer magic then get down!"

"Not till I get that Kite!"

"If you don come down, I'll make ya come down!"

"Oh really? You an what army?"

Applejack smirked and turned around slowly and lifted a hind hoof and tapped the tree

"The army of me! Now git down!"

"Big mac! C'mon buddy! Help uh brony out!"

The large Red stallion approached the tree, laying his hooves on its trunk

"Eeee-"

A death glare from applejack brought the Great bucker away with a small twinge of knowing what that look meant

"Nope."

"Augh! Some help chu are! Ey! Hold on Aj! I almos got it!"

Applejack frowned turning herself to look back up at the tree, but before she could speak a loud -SCNACK- Echoed down from above, big mac leaped to push his sister out of the way of the falling debris but Six had no such luck, his fall was broken by broken branches,leaves,dirt, and apples. The Kite, torn into fine ribbons, was lodged mostly in his mouth, the rest floated out of the tree peacefully.

"Six!"

"Im...ohhhh...celestia, that tickles..."

"Shudup ya darn foal! What were ya doin?!"

"Climbin...climbin an-augh...climbin and fallin...Hey listen aj...When did big mac dye his coat? Heh heh...He looks sooo bad in tapioca jam pudding blitz..."

Sixs' eyes fluttered as he lost consciousness and he fell into the blackness of comatose

The outskirts of Cheddar Farms-present day

Six woke up from his nap underneath a tree, he had been having these dreams lately, reliving his experiences at sweet apple acres and more precisely, his memories of Applejack. He struggled to get up off his haunches, fighting the atrophy of a long nap in an awkward position.

"Eahhhawww~ New day, new...new...Skunk it I'll just go."

He readjusted to gravity and ground as he took short easy strides, his limbs waking up and losing their tingly feeling, he gave each a good shake once they had returned to normal and smirked as he scuffed the grounded and took off in a hard gallop

"Applejack! Here I come!"

Fillydeplhia docking yard-present day~before six woke up

"Get outa here yah lazy gud fer nothin!" [Please vacate the premises, you inactive,ner-do-well]

A white pegasus with a golden blonde mane found herself flung out of the window of the Equestria Daily, filldephia offices her belongings soon following behind her. A rather gruff looking pegasus with far to much stubble and coffee stains on his lips popped his head out after her, shaking his head of confetti


"I got ernough to welly about wirf all da papas comin in an nopony to dever 'em! cemprenda?" [I have enough to worry about with all the papers being printed, and no equine to adminester them to the public. Have we reached an understanding?]

"Uhhhmmm...No? I'm sorry printing press but you reeeeeeaaaaalllly could use some speech lessons, I mean I'm nopony to do it but I'm sure somepny would! I mean, its just reallllly hard to understand you sometimes...Allot of the time...Ok all the time, but reeeeeaaally! I don't mean to mess up! it's just not really my thing! I'm more-"

"Barfoons and pertnys! Erf know!" [inflatable air sacks and galas. I am aware]

"Balloons and Parties! Right, exactly! It's my special talent! I mean c'mon i did a great job in there!"

"Youf sperft mih confee!" [you have caused my hot cocoa like beverage to splach itself on my person]

"Yeah I did throw you a party! See it's in there!"

"GEEEEEEETTT OOOOOUUUUUTTT!!"[vacate the premises]

Surprise understood that much, she flew below to gather her tossed belongings, a suitcase filled with bobbles and toys, a compass that always pointed south...

"or was it west? Maybe Southestneast! That's the best Direction!"

Can I continue pegasus protopinky?

Can you?

If I stop doing this for shear entertainment value

But...That's what writers do silly! well...maybe not YOU but most do!

Ok im done...sorry everyone...couldnt help it...

Back to cannon...

Surprise picked up her things, astonishingly nothing had broken. Small black marks on a few things like socks and wing gloves (because everypony knows wings double as hands...) but everything else seemed just fine. She stuffed it all in her suitcase and smiled as she flew off towards the carriage hub. Cloudsdale was a ways out, and there was NO way she was going to make that flight without food...or money...

"Huh...No money...Ohhhh well that won't be a problem!"

Her eyelid twitched lightly as she smiled

"Twitchy eyelid, means A new friend!"
