A Servant's Duty

Discovering the Garden

Bunny began her walks into the new Garden again; this time to make sure what’s there will survive. She stood on the stump again, and began to circle around the area. As she did, she chanted, and the elements glowed.

The Skies shall be glad
And the Gardens shall bloom
For the Lord Almighty and all his followers
We are the selected
We will flourish on the land
In the soil, on the water, on air
Until the unbelievers face their Judgment
Our victory as we rise above them
Healing the world from within
We are the Soul and now, it is our time to grow
For if the non-believers shall pass over it
They shall be redeemed

“Gotcha again, Fluttershy!” Twilight giggled after pinning her marefriend to the ground, the latter just laughed with her. “You’ve been getting used to being surprised now”

“Nothing that I didn’t learn from you, love”

“Aww”

Twilight was about to kiss Fluttershy, but then they heard something. It sounded like…singing. Fluttershy got up and she and Twilight followed the sounds. They eventually found the source, behind a group of normal trees.

“Hello? Is anypony there?” Fluttershy called out. The response she got was Bunny jumping out of the bushes.

“Surprised you both didn’t I?” she asked, smiling.

Both mares nodded.

“You came to see the harvest?” Bunny asked.

“No, we were just curious” Fluttershy said.

“Want to try some?” Bunny pointed to the tree with fruits that appeared to look like apples, but they had stars on them.

“Sure, if you want to”

Bunny nodded. She hurried up to the tree, and caressed its trunk, humming the tune of “Son of Mary”. Within seconds, several fruits fell from the tree and into the baskets under them. Bunny got the basket filled with the seven that fell, and let Fluttershy and Twilight try the fruit.

Immediately, they were amazed at its taste. “Bunny, this is amazing!”

“Glad you think so”

“What the hay is going on here?” a voice belonging to Applejack said. The earth pony approached the scene, with Rainbow Dash behind her.

“Applejack, Rainbow Dash, you have got to try this!” Twilight called with a mouth full.

The two also took a fruit each, and like Fluttershy and Twilight, both were amazed.

“It…tastes…AWESOME!”

“Who grew them?”

“Bunny did”

“Bunny,” Applejack approached the alien. “The structure is perfect, there are no blemishes or bugs, and it’s all at its height of ripeness? Where did you get them?”

“From home. I got a little homesick so I decided to grow them here in Fluttershy’s old garden. They bloomed just 2 nights ago”

“You grew them all in two nights?!”

“Like my Bible said, “One reaps what they sow” “

Applejack was amazed. She looked at the fruit, then Bunny, and gestured for Bunny to come with her. “Can you also bring along five more of them?”

“My oh my! I sure am glad I’m still alive to have tasted such a fruit like this!”

“Eeyup!”

“Ah know right? Ah couldn’t believe it when Ah took a bite from it”

“Bunny, how does fruit grow here if this is just one of the many plants in your home planet?” Applebloom asked.

“There are many, Applebloom. And I see the rest of you Crusaders love it too”

“Indeed, I love it!” Sweetie Belle raised her hoofs triumphantly.

“As my sister would say, it’s 20% cooler!”

“This is one of the fruits of our Servant labor for serving our Lord. Through him, anything is possible” Bunny cited.

“The Lord?” Scootaloo asked.

Bunny nodded. “Indeed, we obey Him, and He helps us all”

Applebloom stared at Bunny, then the Crusaders, and they all nodded. “Will you show us about Him?”

Bunny beamed. “Bring all your schoolmates with you”
