“I’m really glad you’re staying James,” Twilight said.
“I am too, but I still don’t have a job, not since I was replaced in my last one,” James said.
“If you want I’ll let you help me and my family out on Sweet Apple Acres during apple buck season as a thanks for taking care of Apple Bloom,” said Applejack.
“You mean it?” James asked.
“We always could use help,” Applejack said.
“And I’ll fix up your uniform if you want as my thanks,” Rarity said.
“Thank you both,” James said, “I’ll give you my uniform once I get the blood out.”
“It’s nice that we got you, James,” said Rainbow Dash, “And I think we owe it all to you, Twilight.”
Twilight was trying to get Dash to shut up but James heard what she said and grew rather suspicious.
“What do you meant you owe it all to Twilight?” he asked rather harshly.
“Girls, how about you go to your tree house and see if it need fixing,” Applejack said.
“But we want to stay here,” Sweetie Bell said.
“Let the big ponies talk,” Applejack said.
“I am a big pony,” Apple Bloom protested.
“Listen to your sister,” James said, “I need to get things settled here.”
The Crusaders shrugged and ran off down the road, leaving James to confront the six. He waited until the Crusaders were out of sight before he said anything.
“What in Celestia’s name are you talking about?” James asked, rather impressed that he had adapted a sentence to fit in Equestria.
The six stammered several different sentences, Applejack didn’t say much but James knew that she would ever lie.
“Twilight, um,” she said, James looked her in the eye and reached for his pistol, “Twilight why don’t you tell him?”
The four agreed with Applejack, leaving Twilight to explain what Rainbow Dash meant. She sighed and stepped forward.
“The Crusaders ended up in your world because of me,” she said, “It was my fault.”
“Continue,” James said, he now had his pistol in hoof, ready to squeeze information out of Twilight.
“The girls had been causing trouble,” said Twilight, “They had been to each of us to see if they could get a Cutie Mark, but they had been, well, annoying. They were breaking things and getting in the way of our work.”
“It’s true,” said Pinkie, “They came to Sugar Cube Corner and covered the entire store in cake batter, it took me three hours to clean it up.”
“They scared all the animals I was taking care of,” said Fluttershy.
“I missed seeing the Wonderbolts,” said Rainbow Dash.
“They wrecked my designs,” said Rarity.
“And they managed to make the barn doors fall off,” said Applejack.
“So they ended up at Twilight’s place?” James asked, “And where do you, Twilight Sparkle, come into play?”
“I was trying to learn new spells,” Twilight said, “But they never kept quiet long enough for me to concentrate, I ended up losing my temper and cast a spell without knowing it.”
“What was the spell?” James asked.
“Trans-dimensional teleportation,” Twilight replied, “I didn’t know until later.”
“How much later?” James asked slowly.
“Two days later,” said Twilight.
“To be honest, none of us cared until the day after they disappeared,” Applejack said.
“How long were they missing for?” asked James.
“Here? About two weeks,” Twilight said, “At first we didn’t know where they went and we didn’t care, but we regret it.”
“You make me sick,” James said harshly, “You’re telling me that you put those kids on earth without knowing it and you didn’t care? You six are despicable for even saying that.”
“Look we didn’t mean it,” Twilight said quickly.
“That still doesn’t hide the fact that you placed them on the most hostile planet in my universe and didn’t care?” James said dryly, “You’re lucky that they ended up with me, otherwise, they would be dead or worse.”
“We’re sorry okay?” Rainbow Dash said defensively. James pulled out his gun and aimed it towards the group. He pulled the trigger and the weapon clicked.
“That’s your only warning,” he said, “And before any of you say anything, I will still work for you, Applejack if you and everypony else can cough up a proper apology for both me and the Crusaders.”
“You want us to just say sorry?” Rarity asked.
“I’m going to give you until the day ends to give me and the girls an apology and an explanation in front of us all, or I will be forced to take action,” James said as he backed up into his house, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to wash off the blood from both me, and my gun. Meet us at the Crusaders tree house at anytime, I’ll talk to them first then you do what I told you and it’ll work out.”
“You’ll forgive us?” Fluttershy asked.
“I will, and I think the girls will as well,” James said with a kindly smile, “Just make sure that you let me explain what you’re going to do first.”
