    It's not terribly easy being a pear selling pony in an apple loving town....Forelle is a pear pushing pony from Roam, here to help her family out and find her way in the world. This is what happens to her in the course of an average day.

    Forelle glared at the Mare who dared say she was struggling to keep her family happy like she was. Causing the orange pony to back away slightly.

    "Whats yer problem."

    "Struggle?! You don't know the meaning of the word!"

    Now the mare looked as if she were slapped. "Hey don't think we don't have it hard! We..."

    "Did you eat this morning? Because I didn't! Are you worried about being kicked from your home because you can't pay rent? Because I am! Does your entire livlihood depend on a single tiny tree tht barely grows a third of one of those apple trees I see in the distance? NO!"

    "I'm tired, hungry, I'll be sleeping on a bench by the end of the week because I sent my last few bits back home to feed my starving younger siblings in Roam who were lucky to have a single loaf between them a day before I left. Don't you dare try to compare our livings because it is absolutly insulting and only shows how ignorant you truely are."

    idea she uses the bits to buy the apples at low prices places them next to her pears (which i find dilicious by the way) making the apples look better so she can sell them at enflated prices then after a while she can bring the price of the pears down and sell more to make more so she can buy more seedlings pears trees so that when they start proudceing she can slowley start to phaxe out the apples once more people start buting her pears untell she can become an independent seller

    Talking about the good Doctor, could you be so kind as to advice me to HOW to properly watch the show? I have principles of watching from the beginning unless it can be skipped,  but I do not know if I can do that. And it will take me forever to reach the Tenth Doctor from the First if I start from the beginning. Should I watch the first episode, or could I start anywhere?

    There are several ways to start I suggest starting with 'New Who' which started in 2004 with the ninth Doctor. The effects aren't the best but the writing is great and you'll quickly fall in love if you happen to like scifi to any degree. Another good starting point is season five which starts off with the 11th Doctor and which you can start with little to no background knowledge.

    Hope it helps!

    If you didn't notice, that was most likely the good Doctor. The Doctor may have his dislikes if he so wishes.:duck:

    Also, I used to love PEERS, but now they have a tendency to taste wet, yet dry and sweet yet sour in a chaos that is rather despicable. So as of now, APPLES is a force truly great, while the despicable PEERS can die in Tartarus for all I care!

    ...but if it helps Forelle, I'll gladly eat some...PEERS now and then. Ugh.

    Interesting story. The moment I saw that comic panel I knew someone was goin to make it into a fic sooner or later, and you seem to have executed it very well.

    On an unrelated note...

    It's... odd. Whenever I read a story involving Big Macintosh he's either portrayed as a secret genius who simply doesn't like being near others, or a complete idiot who needs to be told what to do but has a 'good heart'. I'm assuming this stories going for the latter?

    >>1848921 Personally I don't Big Mac's romance.

    Anyways, in truth the brothers are not bad, they are bussiness ponies. They offered the apples a good deal I think and they only were denied because of apple pride (which we have seen always ends up biting them). The only mistake in that episode is that they bet the rights to sell cider, not the farm.

    Hopefully this won't hurt out pear pony, but I guess it will, the story gives me that feeling.

    Uh oh, the flim-flam brothers.  Got to say I was grinning through their entire scene. "Artists in confidence." Heh heh heh.

    This story feels awfully sad, though I hope things work out for her. Flim and Flam make me nervous.

    Forelle is quickly joining the ranks of Best Ponies. Another wonderful chapter.:twilightsmile:

    Forelle's mom sounds like a proud woman, and we all know how much pride is worth... nothing if it leads to starvation.
