//------------------------------// // What A Night // Story: Same Life New World // by Whiskey Drops //------------------------------// ~~~~What A Night~~~~~ A week later Big Mac came back to Sweet Apple Acres while Granny Smith stayed behind, the large stallion got his old room back though he acted a bit differently around Lighting Storm ever since his return home party. Needless to say Applejack and Applebloom were happy to have their brother back though today Lowell and Big Mac were being kicked out of the house for the mares only party. Lowell atleast had a couple of stallions to hang out with this time Big Mac and Glistening Blade. He and Big Mac met up with the unicorn in the middle on Ponyville, Big Mac was wearing his normal attire which was just baggy gray jeans. Glistening Blade still kept his some what formal attire, some sort of business shirt with his tie and suit pants. “Alright! This is awesome, now I got a couple of guys to hang out with when they do these parties!” Lowell said with a huge grin at the other two. “Well....what did you do before us?”Glistening asked as Lowell rubbed the back of his head. “Uh....nothing.....or drank......it kinda sucked...” Lowell said as he crossed his arms. Whoa....I'm a pegasi...Mac is an earth pony...and Blade is a unicorn.....buck me, we are like the grown up colt version of the CMC. Lowell thought to himself as the other two looked at each other and shrugged. “So what first guys? Anything?” Lowell asked as they stood there. “Movies?.....heard that new Daring Do...movie is out...I'll pay for everything!..”Lowell said as they both nodded. Weird...I'm going to watch a movie....about my boss.....I'll question her on it. Lowell thought to himself as they walked towards the theater. The movie was quite interesting for the group apart from the classic Daring's last minute escape and gaining the upper hoof on her arch-nemesis. The three walked out and looked to each other before Big Mac spoke up. “Ah don't know about ya'll but ah gonna go visit some pony.”Big Mac said before he slowly left the two. Once Big Mac was outta ear shot Lowell leaned over and whispered too Glisten. “I bet he is going to visit a certain teacher.” Lowell said as he chuckled as Glisten tilted his head. “Who?”Glistening asked as Lowell smirked. “Miss Cheerlie.” Lowell said as he chuckled. “Ohhhh...I didn't know about that....”Glistening said before he sighed. “Sorry, Lowell but I gotta go organize Twilight's Intelligence networks agents.” Blade said as Lowell nodded. “Tis okay Blade, I'll hang with ya some other time.” Lowell said as the last stallion left. Lowell walked along the streets with his hands in his pockets, the small town was quite peaceful at times like this. Time to myself...meh. Lowell thought to himself as he walked out into the open fields, time slipped by him an hour or so has gone by as he stood out in the open. “Its always calm out here....good place to think on some things mostly at night under such a starry night...” Lowell said softly as he looked around to spot a figure in the distance. “Who the hay is that...and at this time...”Lowell mutter as he watched the figure get closer. The figure appeared to be a mare with a messy white coat and tattered dark robes with the hood over her face. The mare looked to him her eyes were just black, no color what so ever. “You know who I am Lowell.....I'm the one who kept you alive from that dragon after he took your life...” The mare some how said with out moving her lips. “No..I don't...I only heard your voice...who are ya....and what do ya want....?” Lowell asked as the mare looked off to the side. “I will not tell you at this.....not at this time....your time isn't n-” The mare stopped as Lowell held up his hand. “Whoa whoa whoa.....just tell me who the buck ya are seriously.....are you the one to drag me into Equestria? Just who are you..... tell me that....atleast....” Lowell said as he crossed his arms glaring to the mare. “I..go by several names....I'm commonly referred to as Death.” The mare said as Lowell took a step back. “Your bucking with me.....why in the hay would The Grim Reaper save just one life eh? Ain't it like your job to collect the souls of those who pass?” Lowell questioned as the mare started to walk off. “I have told you, that I will not tell you..your fate in life has changed since you were brought to these lands...your fate is unknown...but I will know when you time is to come when it does. “ The mare said as she slowly faded away into a black fog. “The....buck am I getting into.......why me....why here in Equestria....I'm...so confused about this....buuuuuuuuuck! Can't I just be a pony who is happy with his family as a ESPS agent....nah there's a catch,.....buck me....some night this turned out to be..” Lowell muttered to himself as he walked back towards the roads pretty much saying buck it about walking the roads. “A nice walk ruined......mood killed.....no pun intended..” Lowell said to himself as he walked onto the farm, he heard the party was still in full swing as he shrugged before walking towards the barn. “What a night..” Lowell muttered as he opened the barn door thinking about the free cot in the barn. Lowell closed the barn door as he walked towards the cot just as he was about to lay down there was a knock at the door. “Lowell, you in there?!” Twilight called out . He walked back towards the door and opened it to find Twilight holding a passed out Applejack. Twilight sighed before she levitated Applejack into his arms as he supported her. “I found her passed out on the floor with Lighting Storm, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. I suppose they got into a drinking competition....Celestia I hate being the sober one sometimes.” Twilight said as she looked off to the side. Twilight glanced at Lowell as he only tilted his head after he laid the mare down into the cot. “Whats up Twi?” Lowell asked as she blushed a bit. “I'm probably the only one who's going to remember...But Applejack said some...interesting …...things, you might not wan to mention it to her for awhile...” Twilight said as she looked off to the side with the blush remaining. “Now that just makes me curious...what did she say?” Lowell asked as he brushed his hand thru Applejack's mane. “Oh....Rarity asked her for details about your romance and she replied with some stories about your..uh..'ear nibblin' times.” Twilight said as she blushed and looked away avoiding eye contact. Lowell only chuckled a bit as he looked to Applejack as Twilight started to walk off. “Well, I better go bring Lighting and Rainbow home.” Twilight said as she left the two alone. “Ugh...where the buck am ah?” Applejack asked as she groaned. “Yer in the barn Jackie.” Lowell said softly as he leaned don and kissed the mares forehead. “Take me to the bedroom....so ah can shove my face into a pillow ahn die.” Applejack said as she buried her head into his chest. Lowell only froze for a second as she said that while he glanced around. I don't like hearin that after who I just met... Lowell thought to himself as he lifted the mare gently and carried her from the barn. “Not sure about the dieing part but the bed sounds awesome.” Lowell said with a plastered grin on his face. Applejack only wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes mumbling under her breath. “Aww, yer nose is all scrunched up.” Lowell said with a smirk as he kissed her on the nose. “Ah'd glare at ya...but it hurts to open mah eyes....so ya got lucky.” Applejack said as Lowell had carried her into their bedroom. “Shame, I love looking into those beautiful emeralds.” Lowell said as he took off her stetson and hung it off to the side on the headboard of the bed. Applejack only curled up and shoved her head under a pillow mumbling yet again under her breath, the rooster started to crow loudly as Lowell looked off to the side tiredly. “Oh boy...its...morning,,,,,,I better tak--” Lowell was stopped as Applejack only grabbed his hood as he was getting up and dragged him back into the bed embracing him. “....Buck it...” Lowell muttered before he buried his face into her mane as he wrapped his arms around her falling to sleep with her. A couple days time is their anniversary.......uh oh...
