The town ahead was pretty small compared to the city, most buildings were classic western country wooden buildings like you seen in some cowboy movies but however this has a modern twist into it. Also a quiet one as well since you don’t see many people moving and there wasn’t much activity happening as you expected.
As you and your friends approaching the town, you admired the view outside as fields of crops and colored of different crops in fields spread out along the flat and the hills and different coloured barns past by mostly red or wooden brown. In town, streets of classic wooden buildings lined up perfectly in white and brown painted colour. People going about doing their things and children playing tag along the paths under the shades or hotel and inns.
“First time I went through here,” Applejack spoke.
“Yeah, I have no clue where we are,” Rainbow said.
“Let’s get something to eat, then fill up our car before we head out again.” Applejack spoke.
You just stay silent and continue to look out the window until the car stop in front of a café store. The outside was also a building that was similar to what a hotel would look like but in the wild west type of look being put into it. It had two big glass windows on each side with the image of a coffee cup put on them with the name of the café. Garden party chairs and table are place outside matching the colour of the building with flowers on its vases that was purple.
You and your friends walk in and you we’re surprised that it looked like a café from a city center would look like. The interior was mostly just wooden wall and wooden fans on top with the modern lighting that you would see in a restaurant. The seats we’re attached to the wall with a brown fabric to it along with its wooden table and wooden chairs.
You thought to yourself that it might be not a good place to hang out if you or your friend cared for tree cause this place could have been out of business pretty quickly.
The counter was white with retro round seating with the same fabric and there was a tiny wall between the bench that staff use to prepare the meals and the counter that customers can sit and watch from their seats. With green plants grown nicely in a straight line. The wall behind the counter is brick walls that were rough and cut through so that parts stick out and parts stay normal putting a modern touch into it.
“Hi there, what can I get ya?” spoke the employee.
“3 Strawberry Milkshakes please” Rainbow replied.
“Oki Doki” she replied.
“Wait, do I know you?” Rainbow spoke with a more serious tone in her voice.
“Nope, I live around here for awhile so I don’t know you,” she replied with a smile.
Applejack whisper, “I think it's Pinkie Pie.”
“I know it's so obvious, but lets leave her alone for now,” Rainbow whisper back.
The girl wink at you for no reason but you can tell it is Pinkie Pie but you decide not to tell the girls that it is her for now.
The three of you sit down at one of the tables outside the shop, Applejack sits across you while Rainbow Dash Sit next to you on your left. While you three, wait, a group of cowboys started looking at Applejack from the café across the road. You notice that even though she is your friend and you start to notice these guys seem to be troubling you predict. The one who’s probably the leader of the group was wearing a brown hat and a blue and white checkered shirt, with dark blue jeans and boots that match the hat but with the golden spurs at the back. While the rest of his crew wore the same thing, but the different colored checkered shirt and there were three of them who are friends of the blue shirt guy. The leader of the gang was leading and was giving a smirk after what he had seen which you think Applejack wouldn’t be happy about.
“Umm Applejack,” you spoke breaking the silence.
“Yes, anything wrong?” Applejack replied.
Rainbow Dash look at Applejack and give her the look of “Don’t you do it” face.
“There’s some guys across the road looking at you very odd,” you spoke.
Rainbow Dash turn to the direction you were looking and notice it as well.
“Oh boy you're right Tim, we better think of something cause this guy is trouble and I can tell cause he got other boys with him.”
“Are you certain about this sugarcube?” Applejack asked.
You and Rainbow Dash nod and Applejack keep her cool and act naturally to the situation she was in.
“I might gonna go to our car and get something,” you spoke.
“I don’t know should I come along too,” Rainbow asked.
“No, I think I can handle myself,” you replied.
“I wouldn’t go alone, you remembered how I won some sporting events at school,” Applejack said.
You remembered that time since Applejack won the 100m sprint, long jump and other sports you can think of that she had participated. You know her strengths and if she was able to do that then these cowboys can too. You did race against Applejack once just for fun, but she was able to beat you nearly every time you can remember.
“Ok Rainbow you can come along,” you sigh.
“Thanks Applejack, you know we’re spying right,” She whispers to Applejack.
“Don’t worry, I can handle on my own, and Pinkie is nearby to watch me if she is Pinkie Pie,” Applejack spoke.
“You're sure?” Rainbow asked.
“Rainbow she’s gonna be alright, don’t worry,” you said.
You and Rainbow casually walks across the road and head towards Applejack car park right in front of the cowboys standing there like they’re waiting to move in. You both continue to act naturally until you forgot something, you forgot to ask Applejack for her car keys. You were hopeful that Rainbow got Applejack spare car keys on her since your cover (of spying) will be blown.
As you and Rainbow arrived at the back of the car, Rainbow unlocks it with her key she got from Applejack which was a spare. You sigh in relief that you don’t have to stay here alone or awkwardly walk across the street.
You both look at each other and nod as you to pretend to search the car to grab something out of the car. But however the leader of the “gang” had just walked past you and give you a look that you figure out that it was a thank you gesture.
You look at Rainbow and she looks at you with the same look like you both mess up something and can’t go back now to warn in time.
“Uh oh,” you said with a nervous face.
Rainbow look at you with confidence, “Don’t worry, just look what she is about to do if he dares do anything questionable.”
“Let’s head back when it's all clear,” you suggest.
“Yeah, I wanna watch this guy,” Rainbow Dash said.
You both sit at a nearby bench after closing the trunk, of course, but Rainbow brought out her Camera from the car which was a cyan coloured with the cloud and rainbow on it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the café the employee knew was happening and decided to wait until it's a good idea to bring out the order.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you buddy,” she whispers to herself.
“Can I get more water please, thank you,”
Her return to continue working as she set the milkshakes back on the counter for later, except one which she bring out to where Applejack is.
“Here you go,” She spoke.
“Thanks,” Applejack responded.
Before Applejack was about to take a sip out of her milkshakes, a guy comes in a put his leg on a seat opposite to her.
“Hey there pretty,” he say in a flirting way.
“Oh, hi there, I didn’t even see you coming,” Applejack responded naturally.
“So what brings you here from another farm,” he said.
“I’m just sitting here taking a break.” Applejack spoke.
“Hmm, what’s your name pretty.”
“I’m Applejack and what’s yours.”
“Me, they called me Benny the most strongest and handsomest boy in town who can be able to catch a bull 100 feet away and carry it with my strong arms,” he said while being cool at the same time.
Meanwhile
“...And I think she is pretty good at handling these situation,” Rainbow said.
“How so?” you asked.
“She was able to knock off a guy when he try to do something,” Rainbow said.
“Like what?” you asked curiously.
“Well watch and see,” Rainbow said.
While Applejack sits and pretend to enjoy all this talking, she is sipping her milkshakes until she decided to go inside and grab her friends milkshake and save it for later.
“I be right back,” Applejack said while bringing her milkshake with her as well.
“Excuse me”
The staff pops her heads up suddenly from behind the counter with a smile on her face.
“Yes”
“I take these in a takeaway cup for later,” Applejack said.
“I already did,” she brings up the milkshakes in two soda cup.
“How did you know?” Applejack asks with suspicious look on her.
“I can tell, your friends are over there chatting while you're just sitting here all alone until that guy shows up and…”
“Ok, ok, it's all good thanks” Applejack grab the milkshake that was placed in a cup holder box.
“Wait, you forgot this,” She grabs and place another milkshake that Applejack drank earlier, which somehow she managed to pour them into another one very quickly than any other staff can do.
Applejack walks out the café and doesn’t pay attention to Benny sitting there chatting with his friends behind him and he doesn’t notice. She places the milkshakes in the car after unlocking it and close the door behind her and then suddenly he appears after she shut the door.
“Wanna come with me to the farm and see me doing some cool stuff other guys can’t,” he says.
“No thank you sugar I got stuff I need to do,” said Applejack.
Applejack tried to hop into the car, but however, Benny makes a move that is getting Applejack really more annoyed as he try to block her from entering her car at all. She moves around the back and she is being grabbed by the arm.
“Look, come on you're beautiful and you and I can have a great future together. And I let your friend come along as well,” he said raising his eyebrows.
Applejack was getting angry to the point that if he had crossed one of the lines that if he say one thing about her friends, he was toast. But however, suddenly Rainbow Dash runs up and yelled, “THAT’S IT YOU HAVE JUST CROSSED THE LINE BUDDY.”
Then Rainbow Dash push Benny out the road and then she then tie him up with a rope that was from the car before swinging him round and round, making him fly in the air like he was a ball about to be launched which until she lets go and he end up went flying high and landed in a belly flop position in a nearby muddy puddle which was empty and deep. And Benny was covered in mud all over him with his back somehow to stay less muddy than his front shirt.
Applejack jaw was open as she wasn’t expecting that to happen. “How did you do that?”
“What its simple.” “AND DON’T YOU MESS WITH US AGAIN BUDDY PAL,” she yelled towards Ben after answering the question Applejack asked.
You were also surprised and shocked to this as you saw Benny’s friends just ran for their lives after they saw what had happened.
Rainbow Dash walks back to you all calm down and grab you by the hand, “Come on Tim, let’s leave before this loser try anything else.” You were still stunned to what Rainbow had grabbed your hand but it didn’t matter to you at the moment.
“Well, let’s get out of here,” Applejack spoke.
The three of you hop back in the car and left the town as quickly as you could as you and your friends continue back on the highway.
“Wait, what about filling up the car?” you asked.
“We can make it to the next town,” Applejack replied.
