Dear Apple Fritter,
How’s it going? I hope you and ya brother are doing alright. I wish this just a letter just to say hi but unfortunately it’s not. Big Mac forced me to ask for some help this apple bucking season. I would do all the extra bucking myself but Princess Twilight and Big Mac have made me ask for some help. They said if I didn't ask for some help, they were going to tie me down and do it for me. Then they said something about how one year I over did it and caused the whole town trouble, I could have done it myself but I just wanted to humor Twilight. So can you help us out? Because if you can’t then my friends will have to and I`m not really sure if I want my family to.
Your cousin,
Applejack
Apple Fritter read over the letter as a sincere frown appeared on her worried face. She and Braburn already had a big apple bucking season of their own to handle. But they couldn't handle it all without the help of other family members, which meant that her brother and his friend would have to help out. However, she did not feel at all comfortable with those two going by themselves. Even though Rainboom who is a Pegasus and Night Writer who was an unicorn were nice, hard workers they were very mischievous and always seemed to get into the wrong side of the law. Just last week they had decided to humor themselves by throwing some apple pies at the sheriff. She smiled humorously at the memory of the more than serious look on the sheriff’s face as pie dripped down his face. Rainboom was OK, but it was Night Writer she worried about. Although, he wasn't exactly family he stilled seemed like a little brother to her. He had been working on the farm since he was just a colt. But her cousin needed their help.
She reached into the draw and pulled some parchment and quill before scrawling a letter to her cousin in need.
Dear Applejack,
I am sorry to inform you that Braeburn and I are simply too busy to help. However, my brother and his friend Night Writer could definitely be of assistance. I will send them to Ponyville by train tomorrow morning. Could you please meet them at the station? I will have to ask you for a favour as I am worried about Night Writer. He is most likely living with his sister so I need to you watch over him. They may be hard workers but are still trouble makers, especially Night Writer so be sure to keep a close eye on him. Also, make sure that he writes to me every so often.
Your cousin,
Apple Fritter
Apple Fritter quickly sealed the letter and placed it into her mouth so she could post it. She hurried out the door and stepped out onto the front porch of her ranch. From her porch, she could see Rainboom and Night Writer bucking apple trees with all the force, determination and strength of two fully grown stallions.
“Hey ya’ll I have some new for ya.” she said as she approached them.
Night Writer’s dark blue coat shimmered in the afternoon light as he turned to her. His mane was as blue as the clearest sky and his mane went a little down his waist. A book and a feather adorned his flank represent his writing abilities. His emerald eyes glimmered, they reflected his easy going personality. He also had a tendency to pull pranks but was still a very good friend who would never let you down.
Rainboom also had a rather dark coat of blue, with a purple and green mane and tail that etched out in places which always tended to be messy. Although he was an Apple, Rainboom’s cuitemark was a music note. This, did not please his parents at all. He was a very sensitive and caring stallion who would be alone with just about anypony and was also a very loyal pony who would never abandon his friends.
“Applejack needs your help. She has a lot more apple trees this year and has requested our help.” she said to the pair of stallions staring at her with wide eyes.
“I will send my sister a letter telling of her where I will be going. When are we leaving exactly?” asked Night Writer.
“Tomorrow and you better be on your best behaviour also, I want you to send me letters. I shouldn’t have to worry about about you two pulling some prank on the mayor. Don’t go thinking you won’t be caught if you do, because Applejack will send me a letter if you do.”
“Oh come on Fritter, that prank will pulled on the Sheriff was hilarious. He didn’t even see it coming. The look on his face was priceless.” said Rainboom who laughed at the memory.
“Yeah, it was pretty funny right up until he chucked us in jail. When my sister found out, I thought that my hooves were going to fall off from all the hard work we were forced to do. She was so mad.” said Night Writer smiling at the memory. “Good times, anyway I have to write a letter to my sister. I'll be right back.”
He gave Apple Fritter a soft punch in the leg. She simply glared in reply as she walked up towards the house.
Apple Fritter turned to Rainboom and wrapped her hooves around which he returned.
“Look little brother, can you do me a favor and not listen to him? He is a great stallion and all but he is too alike his little sister. Also can you make sure he doesn't make too much trouble for Applejack?” she asked.
Apple Fritter broke the hug and started to walk towards the house.
Night Writer pov.
Night Writer is in his room about to start the spell to talk to his sister. to do this spell he need to have complete concentration and a very strong connection to the other pony. Not only that but the last time he did it he saw something that he wants to forget so it a very good chance you will hear something that you do not want to here. Night Writer cast the spell with his horn lighting up in a midnight blue a few sec. Later he hears a voice.
"Hey bro whats up looking to hear you sister having some fun with a stallion.
"Dammit sis I trying to get rid of that memory and you have to bring it up.
"Yep i did now other than wanting listing to your sisters private time wats up.
"Well I was going to see if you want your big brother over but i'm starting to have second thoughts.
"All but I miss you it lonely here with just me and my roommate please big brother said vinyl sarcastically.
"Well than you going to be happy applejack has a huge harvest this year and needs me and rainboom help so I need to so I was thinking about staying with the best sister ever.
"Well that good you know you always welcome here so what time do you want us to be there oh and my co worker and roommate will be there.
"Cool I will see you at seven then and say hi to your room mate for me.
"Ok cool and thanks for telling me I don't care if you drop by but my roommate has to know ahead of time if I going to have guests over. So anyway will see you tomorrow at seven by.
with that the spell stop and night writer headed back outside.
Rainboom pov. When Night writer casting his spell.
‘Man, I can’t believe we will be going to Ponyville. Night Writer and I have to Ponyville before and boy did we have a blast. Until Night Writer and Rainbow Dash decided it would be a good idea to dye Rarity’s hair red. Or when he and Pinkie Pie decided to see who could eat the most sweets.’ he laughed at the memory of Night Writer bouncing off the walls for an hours and it even took Twilight to stop him.
Rainboom started to get back to bucking the apple trees. He was bucking them by himself for awhile until the aforementioned stallion came back to help him. They bucked trees until the sun began to slowly descend beyond the horizon. They decided to call it a day and return to the house for dinner when they got there they saw rainboom cuz. Braeburn.
“So, what’s for dinner sis and hey Braeburn what have you been up to” he asked as he entered the ranch.
“Well, we’ll be having apple fritters and applesauce.” she replied cheerily.
"Hey cuz. Just stop by to see if you guys need help but it seem like you got it." said
braeburn.
"Ya me and my buddy here have it under control for now.
They two stallions took a seat at the table as they started to fill their plates with the delicious food that was before them. Apple Fritter and braeburn soon joined them.
“So Night Writer, what did your sister say?” she asked.
“She said that it was really cool that I was coming to Ponyville and that she would be happy for me to stay with her. She also wants me to meet her co-worker and roommate.” he replied.
Night Writer and his sister had found a way to communicate telepathically so they could talk whenever they were apart. It took Night Writer forever to learn the spell but he was glad that he did.
so is your sister still working at that nightclub that rainboom first meet her? ask braeburn.
yep but see has a second job apparently since she wants me to meet her co-worker my sis like to work alone on stage usually replied Night writer.
“You will be meeting up with Applejack and Night Writer’s sister at the train station tomorrow morning. Please don’t go off to one your sister’s concerts you to rainboom, I know you love music but you know how Granny Smith and our parents feel about so please promise you won’t.” she said seriously.
“Don’t worry sis, we promise we won’t go goofing off to any concerts.” he said cooly.
“Good, now get to bed. You both have a very early rise tomorrow. And Night Writer, don’t stay up until midnight reading, you need your sleep. Applejack is pretty strict about the time you arrive tomorrow After all, she has an awful lot of work to do back at the farm.
“Look, I`m a fully grown stallion. I think I can determine for myself what time I go to bed. Besides, I just got my spell book back and I need to brush up on my magic.” replied Night Writer a little annoyed.
“That can wait till morning, now off to bed you two.” said Apple Fritter assertively.
Night Writer and Rainboom went up stairs to their bedrooms and went to bed.
The next morning they arrived at the train station. Apple Fritter went over to the ticket booth and brought their tickets.
“Ok guys the next train for Ponyville is arriving soon, do you have the one hundred bits I gave each of you?” asked Apple Fritter as they waited for the train. Both stallions nodded their heads. “Good, now remember to say hi to your sister for me Night Writer.” she said before giving them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Ah come on Apple Fritter, it’s not cool. Anyway, I'll tell my sis you said hi.” said Night Writer as the train pulled into the station.
“All aboard for Ponyville!” announced the conductor.
“OK sis, see you after apple buck season.” farewell Rainboom.
“OK that’s us. Bye Apple Fritter, I will write to you tonight.” he said before they both boarded the train.
A few minutes later, the train departed from the station and they began their long journey to Ponyville.
"so is there any reason you were smiling after my sis gave you a hug. smirk rainboom.
"I don't know what you are talking about rainboom. said Night Writer with a blush.
"sure you don't anyway i am glad we going back to ponyville it going to be fun". happily said rainboom.
Night writer was too distracted to hear rainboom last comment he was thinking about what apple fritter did. now Night Writer is not in love with apple fritter he just thought of her like a mother in mean she's the one who taught him everything and was better than his good for nothing mother but he would never tell anyone. but as he has these feeling he started to drift off and soon fell into sleeps embrace.
