Why me?

by Ice


New friends

Brice and the group arrived at Twilights house, "So what's the plan?" he asked.


"What do you mean?" responded Twilight, slightly confused.

"Well, I haven't got anywhere to stay, so I meant where am I going to stay?"

"Well here of course! I mean I do have to learn about your planet and history and your biolo.."

"NO."

"What? It's only to see how the human body differs from the pony body."

"No! I'm doing that not now, not ever."

Twilight had a evil look in her eye, "That's where you're wrong."

"What are you doing...no..no...no..put me down...guys little help?!" He looked at the rest of the group who just started at him and Twilight.

"I'm bucked,"
"Again with the words." He thought.

"Don't worry though! You'll enjoy it..."
---------------------------------------------------
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Brice woke up hitting his head of the bed post. "Ugh my head..." He went to rub it when he felt resistance coming from his left arm. "What the?" He had a pair of cuffs connecting from his wrist to the bed post."Please tell me this is for making sure I don't run away."

"Why? What else would it would be for?" He saw Twilight entering the room.

"I'll tell you when you're older." He said rubbing his head with his right hand.

"How old are you?"

"13."

"I'm 19."

"Really?" To Brice a lot of these ponies seemed about eight or nine in human years. "Is that pony or human?"

"Pony, in human I'd be 18."

"Okay, so what are we doing today?"

"You still need to tell me."

"What?"
"This is where the day gets long." he thought.

"What else they are for?"

"I said I'll tell when your older."

"But...never mind. Let's get you out of that"

"I'll do it myself" He pulled his arm with a huge amount force and the link broke part of the cuff off, allowing him to slip it off. Twilight just looked at him stunned "they're for ponies, not humans so I thought it wouldn't take much force to break them at this angle." Twilight face hoofed. "It's going to be a long day." After a small breakfast and Brice showing Twilight his IPod they set off into town.

"Wait a second! Aren't people react weirdly once they see me?"

"They would but you're going to Applejack's to get a job and some money to pay for the food you eat while I go to town."

"So how are we getting there without me being seen?"

"Magic."

"You say it like it's the simplest thing in the world...wait magic....nononnono!" the duo disappeared from the path they were walking along and appeared just outside of Applejack's barn."Warn me next time! I feel like I'm going to be sick again." Twilight just rolled her eyes.

"Applejack!" called Twilight.

"Howdy Twilight!" she nodded at Brice. "Ugh! even my boss hates me." he thought.

"Hi Applejack! Do have any jobs that Brice could do for some bits?"

"Well I do need some help applebucking." she walked over to Brice at looked him over. "You got any muscles in those legs of yours?"

"I'll personally demonstrate the power of these things to you." he growled.

"Alright then go buck that tree over there." Brice look furious at this.

"WHAT THE HELL MADE YOU SAY THAT!" Applejack didn't even blink while Ice shouted at her. she simply said:

"I'll show you how." she turned round and kicked the tree with her hind legs.

"That's apple-bucking."

"Ooooohhhhh! I thought you meant...you know." he was blushing slightly out of embarrassment

"Don't worry we get that a lot from first timers. Same with the other new guy and speak of the devil! Here he is!" as she spoke a unicorn walked up to the trio he had a white coat, red hooves ,grey eyes ,a red spike afro, no tail, a skinny build, and he was slightly taller than twilight.He had a quiver for a cutie mark. Brice looked at Twilight who was drooling as the pony walked up to them.

"Psst! Twilight! Stop drooling." Twilight suddenly became aware of what she was doing and was blushing heavily. "Nice to meet you! The names Straight Shot" Brice snickered slightly only to get his foot stood on by Twilight."OW!" Straight Shot looked at Brice in awe. "It can talk?" Ice looked at Applejack then to Straight Shot. "You want me to show you on him or a tree?"

"Oh dear Celestia."

"Is that a challenge, mare?"

"Right! That's it! Hoof wrestle here and now!"

"pfft, fine." Twilight groaned while Applejack just chuckled.

"Okay boys, on three!" Brice and Straight Shot locked arm and hoof.

"One."
"This'll be easy." thought Straight Shot.

"Two."
"This guy is either strong or cocky. Let's find out." thought Brice

"THREE!" Straight Shot pushed with all the force but Brice's arm wouldn't even budge.

"Heh! looks like your just as strong as me." said Straight Shot.

"Nah. I'm not pushing." Brice quickly slammed Straight Shots hoof onto the table they were using.

"Heh. Looks like I'm the best here."

"What about AJ? She can beat me without trying." He said with a smug grin.

"Alright then! Cmon AJ! me and you." Applejack took Straight's place at the table and locked hoof and arm together.

"On three guys!" said Twilight.

"One."
"I'll show mister fancy pants here what real strength is!"

"Two."
"I'm just gonna push this time. No games."

"Three!" It took a lot more force than Straight but Brice almost immediately won.

"BIG MAC!" shouted Applejack.

"I know, I know." came a low voice as the figure approached. Brice could easily see that he was a tall muscular stallion with a red coat and blond tale and mane.

"So we gonna hoof wrestle?" asked Brice.
"WHAT AM I SAYING THIS GUY WILL RIP MY ARM OFF!" he thought.

"Eeyup." said Big Mac as he sat down.

"On three!" said Applejack.

"One." "........."

"Two." "..........."

"Three!" Both contenders put all their strength into their arms. After only ten seconds both them broke out in a sweat still exactly where they started, Twenty seconds in every part them was covered in sweat and finally Brice broke the silence.

"Wanna call it a draw?" he said hopefully.

Big Mac withdrew his hoof and put it forwards for Brice to shake it. "Eeyup."

"So how'd it go?" everypony/body turned their heads to see Twilight with some bags. "When did you get here?"

"When you decided to hoof wrestle Applejack, I ran off and got the shopping..so who won?"

"Me, but then me and Mac here had a draw so it wasn't too bad."

Twilight looked stunned. "y-you didn't win Mac?"

"Nope." suddenly a jingling sound made Brice turn around to see Applejack with a bag of bits.

"Since you'll be working triple tomorrow." She said with a sly grin. Brice let his head hit the table. "EVERY DAMN PONY HERE IS CRAZY!"
