Hug the poor mare.
Charge toward her at the speed of sound, pick her up, super jump into the air, and hug the FUCK out of that farmer pony. Then proceed to help out on the farm.
What he COULD so is say "applejack" in a calm tone like he's also a bit sad about something, touch her chin and slowly bring her sight to your face, and say "applejack, I am sorry for what happened during that time. I didn't and couldn't even think of what would result in what I did and from that, I hurt your feelings, and that is something I am sorry for. While I do realize that I am not at fault, and am not obligated (forcefully like "you either pay back this debt, or your legs go to the ocean, with your body staying behind") to help you....the unspoken man-code of humans that I go by obligates me to relieve you of the sadness and negative feelings brought onto you by this event." You take the time to gently wipe the corners of her eyes clean, as she was slightly tearing up at your explanation at this point; you continue, "applejack, I am sorry for what I did before, but it was necessary to survive and run away from twilight; had I known this would've happened earlier due to some fortune of fate, I would've planned better, but believe me when I say this: Until I have completely secured myself in your good graces, and your families good graces (brother included), I will continue to help you with anything on the farm, even if it means I don't get payed a single bit/cent. From what I remember (insert remembrance of a moment in which you learned from lyra & bon-bon what the elements of harmony were and their respective bearers) rarity is the element of generosity, well I am giving you my generosity, and my honesty, as proof that I am saying the truth. I've worked (in a sense) too hard to earn the trust from lyra & bon-bon, and managed to gain yours, and I don't want to break it now, or ever" After saying this, you pull her into a hug which is full of whatever kindness, generosity and calmness you can muster. Applejack's eyes seem to water over at this, and she hugs you back while thanking you for this. It seems that little speech of yours has managed to alleviate her fears, and possibly strengthened the bonds of friendship between you and her, perhaps by this, you have gained another ally to confide yourself in, and possibly hang out with, only time will tell if your decision won't go "Newton's Third Law" on you and roast your ass into a fine turkey dinner.....No Homo
Tell her it's OK and that pulling the cart and picking the apples is the least he could do for her because not only did she harbor you away in your time of need (albeit against your will, but you let that go because of the circumstances at the time), she also came to your aid in the forest and she never tried to molest you, not to mention the delicious apple pies you've been given, so you tell her you appreciate her help and give her a hug. Since she says you've got no debt to repay tell her she can still come to you if she ever needs help with something, hands are a universal tool here it seems.
If she still looks sad or nervous, ask her if there's something else bugging her and try to comfort her.
Hug the poor mare.
Sweep the pony into a hug before you die from adorableness. Inner Batman is screaming something about a pansy. You don't care.
You kneel and look the sad mare before you.
Take hold of her chin and gently rise it so that she looks you in the eye.
Smile gently and say " Applejack. I'm working here because i want, not because i have to." you sigh and turn to look up. After while you continue. " I felt bad that i had to break your cart and wanted to pay you back." After this smile to her.
Suddenly you hear pinkies voice. "Daaw~w, That was so cute. Are you going to kiss her?" The voice asks. you whip your head around, but can't see Pinkie anywhere. Finally you just shake your head and think that you have been too long in sun.
Rational Action:
Talk it out with her.
Renegade Action:
Hug the sadness out of the pony.
--
This is what the two decisions are.
Reassure her you want to help on the farm because you did break her stand, even if it was an accident. Then hug her.
GIVE HER A GOD DAMN HUG!!!
Hugs. Hugs everywhere.
HUGGLES!!!
Then pat her on the head and say "that'll do pony, that'll do.
work off the debt anyways, feel better knowing ya did some good and it gives ya a pill of good karma... ahhh karma
see even Pinkie Pie agrees- wait... when did she show up?nothing weird happened just going to pretend she was
never there-shutting up now
You swear you can hear your inner 11th Doctor kick himself in the knee for hating apples
Channel your inner hulk and shout: HULK HUG!
Plant a kiss on her cheek and say, "'Tweren't nothin'."
Then hug her and ask, "What's up?"
SET PHASERS TO HUG!!!
That Cowgirl needs a Hug!
Give her a hug.
Also, Tell her that she needs to get Twilight to pay her back for the stand. That mare's got a royal stipend after all!
You let out a slight smile and give her a hug. Heck she shouldn't worry about it, at least not THAT much.
"Don't worry about it. I don't really mind working that much" you lie. what ever just make her feel better
Tell her its alright, and that you are glad to help. Despite everything, Applejack's has honestly help despite the Heat spell applied to you during the time. Be sure to give her a hug!
OR ELSE...
HUG THE APPLE LOVING SHIT OUT OF HER!!!!!!!
After that pull a cookie out from behind her ear to cheer her up some more!
This thoroughly confuses you...
Out of the corner of your eye you see a miniature pinkie pie floating in mid air, she gives you a wink and disappeared
Jason: Its fine AJ I really don't mind working here. In fact I was think if I can maybe get a job here. You know I might be here a while and well ... I need a job so I can buy me some food and cloths.
AJ: Well if ya insist
Jason: I INSIST!!!!!!
Then procced to hug AJ not to tight and not to softly just the right amount of hugThen start working once again
P.S. Why do I have the feeling that AJ is being seduced by this guys looks and charms? OH GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN MAN RUN!!!!!!!!!!
Kneel before the sad, orange farm pony, look her in those adorable emerald eyes and say to her in the most gentle tone you can muster and tell her, "Applejack, I know that although this is true, I still owe a debt that must be paid. It's my fault that your stand was ruined. You brought me here earlier for a reason, to pay off the debt I owe. I still owe this debt and it will be repayed at all costs." then at that moment you hug the crap out of that pony like you mean it and take several seconds to release. All the while Big Mac is right there, but you don't mind him being there at the moment.
She apologized. Use fancy psychology (I'm sure the Doc knows some) and hug her or something as positive reinforcement for being fair.
Simply state "I'll help ya for the rest of the day" then run up and hug the living ************ out ta her
Give her a hug and a pat on the back.
The longer you look at her like this, the more it pains you to see it. She really does look legitimately depressed.
Then suddenly, it hits you. You know what to do. In fact, you mentally kick yourself in the head several times for not thinking of this first.
With your mind set on what to do, you let out a deep breath to relax and set down the axe on the stump you've been cutting on. You then get up, walk on over to Applejack, then get down on one knee so that you are eye level with her.
"Applejack," you say to her in the kindest possible voice you can muster up.
"Yeah," Applejack replies as you lifts her head up a little. Before she can say anymore, you reach forward, throw your arms around her neck, and pull her into a big hug. Almost immediately Applejack tenses up, she's clearly not used to this. Despite that though, she doesn't push away, and she doesn't struggle in any conceivable way.
Since she doesn't push you away, you don't see a reason to stop. You hug the ever loving apples out of her. You hug her like you've never hugged any of these ponies before. You hug her like you mean it, and you really do.
"Daaw~w, That's so cute. Are you going to kiss her?" The voice of Pinkie Pie suddenly asks from out of nowhere. Kind of surprised to hear that, you open your eyes back up (you had instinctively closed them when you hugged her) and looked around. You don't see her anywhere. "Oh, wait, what was I thinking? That would be a teensy bit counter productive to the whole 'no nookie with a pony' thing. Still, it does deserve a daawwww. In fact here, I'll give you another one. *inhales* Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww." You still don't see her anywhere. You decide to just ignore it for now.
"It's okay Applejack," you say to her as you keep hugging her. She still seems a little tense though, so after a few more moments you pull away so you can look her in her face. Your arms still on her shoulders though.
Tell her that you want to help out. Sure, when you were pulling the cart - which you aren't physically adapted to do well in the first place - the work was pretty miserable, but today it has not only been pleasant but also enjoyable. Obviously, this is bothering her, but you want to help out. You really have nothing else to do with your time until you have a way home - or, alternatively, you are on your own feet here as far as this being a new life (trying not to think about that, of course) - and just idling around doesn't agree with you. Besides, if helping out here means getting to eat more of those apple pies, then who's complaining?
If Applejack still is feeling down, tell her there is something she can do with you to make everything better. Then Walk the Buckin' Dinosaur with AJ!
Forgive, Forget, see if you can do this as a paying job, if not finish the day, and flip the bird to the next heavenly/badass/chaotic being that decides to say your not AWSOME, cuz you are.
Ask Applejack if you can keep working for her, because you might be in this world a while and you don't want to mooch off of Lyra and BonBon. There will be alot of things to buy, like more clothes and weed.
Tell her either you or twilight need to pay for that stand and twilight wont be working anytime soon. Also ask her where twilight is.
You tell her that you won't work for her, but you'll work with her. She helped you, now you're going to help her. That's what friends are for.
Jason: Its fine AJ I really don't mind working here. In fact I was think if I can maybe get a job here. You know I might be here a while and well ... I need a job so I can buy me some food and cloths.
AJ: Well if ya insist
Jason: I INSIST!!!!!!
Then procced to hug AJ not to tight and not to softly just the right amount of hug
P.S. Why do I have the feeling that AJ is being seduced by this guys looks and charms? OH GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN MAN RUN!!!!!!!!!!
Step 1.) Move towards her and pat her shoulder
Step 2.) Sincerely say, "Thank you Applejack. It means a lot to hear you say this."
Step 3.) Stand and smile widely in a mature stance while continuing. "Now, I seem to remember agreeing to help you on the farm. I have the cloths, and I'm already here. So I think we should get back to work don't you? After all..."
Step 4.) Move back over to her, putting her in a one armed hug, "Friends help each other out. You've been fair to me since I wound up on your farm, and have been genuine and honest with me since. If that isn't enough for me to see you as a friend, nothing would. Besides, if I do a good enough job, you might hire me! And until I find a way home, I'll need money to pay back Bon-Bon and Lyra. Let no one say Jason is a moocher!"
Step 5.) Steadfastly ignore the fact you are, in fact, a moocher as you attempt to boss your way out of this.
Step 6.) ???
Step 7.) Profit (For real, as in Job acquisition=salary=profit!!)
Step 8.) DANCE YOU FOOL, DANCE!! (You know the one...)
"You don't have to worry about it. I'm here because I want to be, not because I have to." you begin to tell her. "I mean, yeah, you're right, it wasn't really my fault, but I still broke your stand." You pause for a moment before continuing. "I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing or what would result from it. I hurt your feelings, and for that, I'm sorry. I really am sorry." You pause for another moment and look into her eyes. "Yet, despite all that, you still helped me." At that, the look on her face changes to one of confusion. "You could have given me to Twilight anytime, but you didn't, and last night in the forest, you still came to my aid despite what I did. You helped me, so now I'm going to help you. You've been fair to me since I wound up on your farm, and you've been been genuine and honest with me when none of the others would, so I am going to help you." From the look on her face, she honestly doesn't look like she can believe what she is hearing.
"Besides," you say to somewhat lighten the mood. "I still owe you for that stand. It's either me or Twilight that needs to pay for it, and it doesn't look like Twilight will be working soon, and it's not like I have anything else I can do until she decides to send me home, so until I'm secured in you and your families good graces, I'm going to keep working for you until I pay off the debt I owe you." She still looks surprised as hell to hear what you are saying. "Besides, I really don't mind working here. Sure when you had me pulling that cart it was pretty miserable, but today, it wasn't only pleasant, but enjoyable. So until I pay off my debt to you and your family, I insist on helping you out around here. Even if it means I don't get paid."
There's a moment of silence between you as Applejack takes that all in. The look on her face still one of surprise and shock.
"Jason-" she says to you.
"I insist," you say before she can get any more words out. She doesn't respond to you after that. She just keeps staring at you in a mixture of surprise and shock. It's like she really can't believe what you just told her.
In an effort to lighten the mood, you reach behind her right ear and pull out a cookie. Only after the fact that you actually do it do you realize what you've just done. You stare at the cookie for a moment, thoroughly confused. Then suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, you notice a miniature version of Pinkie Pie floating in mid air. She gives you a quick wink before disappearing in a puff of pink smoke.
"Jason..." Applejack says to you. You're about to respond, but then suddenly, against all odds, Applejack throws her hooves around you and pulls you in for a hug. Now it's your turn to be surprised. You honestly didn't expect this. Applejack doesn't say anything to you, but you think you can feel her smiling on your shoulder. Don't ask how you're able to do that, you just feel like you are.
You aren't one to complain though, and after the initial shock wears off, you throw your arms around her and return her hug.
I just noticed something its an apple orchard, the doctor is somewhat cannon, and you are channeling him...
"Count the shadows. For God's sake, remember... if you want to live, count the shadows."
That is my message for you. Good luck.
As you're hugging Applejack. You look around at all the trees behind her. Now that you think about it, this was a nice place to end up... you could have been-
You just then notice that one of the trees has two shadows.
You look over at it and notice something that... well even by the standards of this world you wouldn't even call normal. Standing in the shadow of the tree. You notice a very tall, lanky stallion. He looks very tall, probably even as tall as you while you're standing. He doesn't appear to have any sort of coat, just very pale skin, and he's also wearing a nicely tailored suit. However, what's most unusual about him... is that he has no face. There's nothing there. No eyes, no mouth, nothing.
"APPLEJACK!!!" The sound of another voice momentarily distracts you for a moment and makes you look away in the direction of the voice. Almost instinctively, you look back at where you saw the faceless, suited stallion, but he's gone. As if he was never even there. "Applejack!" the voice calls out again. It's not a voice you've heard, but still sounds kind of familiar. It has the same southern accent that Applejack does, but sounds much younger.
Then, out of nowhere, from behind one of the trees, another pony comes out.
"There ya-" She stops dead in her tracks the moment she sees you. She's definitely much smaller than Applejack, much smaller. In fact, if you are going to assume that all the ponies you've met are adults, then this pony is definitely a child. She has a yellow coat and a long, red mane. She's also wearing a very large bow on her head. Yeah, definitely a child. You're pretty sure you've never met this small pony, yet, she seems kind of familiar.
Anyway, she just stands there, staring at you. You watch as her eyes shrink down to the size of grains of sand. It only just occurs to you now that this pony was calling out for Applejack, and just walked in on you hugging her. Yeah, if you found someone you knew hugging a species you'd never seen before, you'd probably react like that too. You watch as her pupils get somehow smaller.
What do you do?
