It's just a little drizzle

The reunion, kinda

Appleloosa~

KRESH!

"OUUF!" A yellow pony was thrown from his seat as a small projectile shot straight at his stomach. The glass still showered out as the loud thud shook the room. Lettuce leaves, apple slices and a shattered bowl partially covered/ littered the settler pony and his floor. Said pony was balled up, clutching his abdomen in pain, gritting his teeth as he rolled onto a few pieces of shrapnel and over his hat.

"sonafadamn'ed...." The stallion started to feel a new a new sensation around his hooves, and his stomach.

"YEOW!" He sat up quickly to feel the sharp pain increased. He immediately spotted the source of his pain, and did a double take. And took another again, and again. One more time as the little embodiment of a rain bowed sky released her death grip and slid near his thighs.

"Hey, you're that apple guy!" The Pegasus started her seemingly cruising pace up to his chest, past his neck and settled down daintily onto his snout an inch from his eyes.

"Hey! You can hear me right?!" The squeaky thing began waving it's hooves and flapping her wings into a big blur. "Are ya blind too!? Say something! Don't you remember me!? I tried to help the buffalo and you guys a year ago!?!?"

Braeburn gave a jerky nod, nearly sending the three inch pony tumbling into his eye. "Oi! Careful!" She stomped on the base of his snout causing a nice stinging sensation.

"Y-you're ma cousin, AJ's friend, r-right?"

"YES! You remember! I'm Rainbow Dash!"

"Okay, m-Miss Da-Dash?" He flashed a nervous smile at her, even though she couldn't see it given the fact that she was more absorbed in how his eyes got so small. "A-a-ah think am bout ta faint."

The tiny Pegasus flew up a little in shock and put up her hooves as he started to slowly tilt. "NONONONO!!!, please just, just calm down! It's okay!!" She shot over to the settler pony's ear and started to scratch, hug, sing, whatever to calm down her only life line.

"~Hush lil pony, it's alright, Rainbow Dash's gonna need you help tonight.~"

"That ain't helpin'!" He could defiantly feel the rubs and all, but the breath of a tiny mare going down his ear made it much worse and he began to slip into darkness.

'BUCK' Rainbow cursed in her head. She flew off his ear, wincing at the occasional pain in her wings, to see his hooves starting to scrap the floor and his body starting to tilt at a dangerous rate. Then she saw his muzzle. Oh, daddy please forgive your little foal!

Braeburn's eyes nearly bulged out their sockets as a slight pressure came upon the fully aware colt's chops. (AN; is that what they call it?) A small blue blur came up to perch on his snout again, this time the front of her mane stuck into a single lock over wide magenta eyes. "You okay!?"

"uh..y-yah?"

"Your face is burning hot dude!" He glared at miniscule pony and her mischievous smirk.

"Ah don't like you..."

.....

"Now, wha in tarnaion happn to ya sugarcube?" Braeburn paused in his sweeping of the glass and food while RD sat on top of his hat, eating a chunk of apple pie form the shelf in his kitchen. "and wha are ya doin' in Appleloosa? Ain't ya suppos'd ta be in Ponyville?"

The little mare stared at the Appleloosian with an incredulous look on her face.

"Wha? Ther somethan on ma face?" He was responded with the mare rising up on her hind hooves while the front ones rapped at the air. The colt gave a half-eyed glare at her. "This ain't 'xactly the time ta be foolin round suga." She only shrugged and finished the last of the morsel sized piece of pie. Braeburn threw away the rest of the shards and food and trotted over to Dash, seeing as she didn't want to use her wings by the way she open them. Almost like it was stuck.

She jumped as a large hoof, the size of a carriage, gently stroked her main and tail. "Now then, wha happen'd?" The yellow pony gave her a smile that instantly clamed her nerves, even if it loomed a little too close for comfort.

"I heard that Twilight, the purple unicorn with the striped mane," He nodded his head for her to continue. " was working on creating new spells with a gryphon enchantress. So, I got curious and well, I kinda got hit by a spell that, I think teleported me here and did, 'this'". She gestured to herself.

"An the window?"

"I was chased by a bee..." The colt whistled at the damage the tinny little filly made; the hole in the window was a perfect circle with burnt edges and a small flickering of the colors of the rainbow. If he wanted to, he could've stuck his whole head through it.

"Am prutty sure it's long gone hun." He suppressed a shout as he felt the tiny mare jump onto his hoof, galloped up his entire leg and rested a little too close to his cutie mark and began to rub it. "What the hay!?"

" You know, I heard that you can make many dishes with apples in them like AJ does, right?" Braeburn had to focus his ears onto her to hear, and even strained his eyes to see the look of pure cuteness that was her begging face. He simply had to lower his ears at the sight and slowly turned his head a bit, no matter how enticing she was.

"Ya know, I did tire myself out before coming here, and pies make me really thirsty~"

"Flattery ain't get'in ya nowhere. We take the train, git ta Ponyville, and no side stops. Aj sent enough letters about ya'll and yer cider problems." Then the mare replaced her façade with a pout. "Now git from back there so ya won't fall, Rainbow Smash." He laughed as the Pegasus stomped on his flank and galloped up his spine into his mane and up, and popped on top of his head. She began pulling a couple of strands and trying them together as some form of make-shift harness/steering rope.

"Hi ho Braser, off into the unknown!"

The coal rolled his eyes before rearing back for a second and trotted out the door into the night. "Ya already wet ya whistle befo this 'hole thing, didn' ya?"
