Diary Entry #206
I still don't know why I do this diary thing, all I remember is feeling safe every time I do. Something about a thought that, whenever something bad happens I can keep going back to the time I wrote the entry… but it’s just a feeling… anyways, I still have stuff to do today so I’ll end this entry with the usual
Thank the mana for another day of living.
I close the book next to the bed and went on my way towards breakfast. As I got there I was greeted with smiles, smells of roasted vegetables, grown by yours, truly. the smell of pancakes and hellos and howdy by the other ponies of the house. oh? Did I forget to tell you about the ponies? Well it’s actually been years since I’ve been living here. Got into some trouble ever since I went into the dungeon inside the Sharance tree, but that’s a story for another time and of course, a loving kiss from my loving wife... Applejack.
Of course I found it weird to be feeling attracted to equine like beings ever since I first felt like this towards her but, in the end love is love after all. It doesn’t hurt to add that I’m part monster, even though I’m just part wooly. The moment I told them about it was the best thing I remember. Their surprised faces were quite funny.
“Good mornin’ sugarcube. Took ya while before ya got up.” She giggled as she went to her seat in the table, there are only four of us here right now, sadly Granny Apple died, but at least she lived long enough to see her own granddaughter’s wedding.
As I took my seat next to Applejack the silent and serene morning kept going… until Apple Bloom, my stepsister asked a question to me regarding her cutie mark.
“Ah know it’s been a while since Ah got mah cutie mark an’ all, but fixin’ things ain’t really all that easy with these hooves. Ya think ya could help me out in fixin’ the old Cutie Mark Crusader’s base?” I was chewing some of my food when I rose my brow a little and questioned her
"You mean that tree house, in the back part of the farm?" she nods "I don't really mind, that place has some memories right? I'll go over there later after I finish work." she beamed happily as she devoured the remains of her plate, Big Mac shaking his head slowly with a grin on his face and Applejack sighing
"What?"
"Yer spoilin' her too much."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes ya are. Remember before?" she stared at me
"What are you talking about AJ?" I really don't remember, maybe I did do something, but I just don't remember. She sighed again
"About them those other-worldly spells of yers. She asked ya to use that strong wind thingie to push their gliders from the cliff?" I winced
"Oh yeah... but it wasn't THAT bad" she had a deadpanned look as I said that
"Ya got snagged by one o' them contraptions and fell from the cliff! Ya got stuck in the hospital fer a total o' three weeks!" I winced again as I weakly laughed
"Oh... yeah, forgot about that, but don't worry. This time it's safe, She and I will just fix the tree house and that's it." I kissed her as I carried the plates to the sink to wash them as Big Mac and Apple Bloom went on their way
"Well, suppose Ah should get them apples then. They aren't going to buck themselves" but before she could stand up I stopped her
"No, Applejack. We've talked about this before. You shouldn't work that much as long as you're pregnant remember?"
"But!" I put a finger on her lips before she could continue
"No buts. You're going to relax, let me do the work. Sure Sweet Apple Acres is big, but I'm a farmer even before I got here, just let me and my green thumb get to work alright?" she pouted but didn't say a word
"I'll bake one of my apple pies later, just for you." her face lightened up after she heard me say that but then went back into a pout
"Yer just bribin' me, ain't ya?" I chuckled at her statement
"Maybe I am, but that's because I love you." I kiss her again "Just relax here at home, I can see you're quite sleepy."
She nodded "Okay, and thanks."
"Well then, time to get to work." I got out of the house went to work, with watering can, hoe and sickle with me.
It was a normal work day like any other. Removing weeds from the fields, harvesting the grown crops and replacing them with seeds, getting wet by a rain cloud because of a prank by a technicolor pegasus who laughed her flank off at the sopping wet sight of me, me shooting off water balls of magic towards said technicolor pegasus while she dodges and says her apologies, pretty much an everyday occurrence.
After my farm work was over I went towards the destination of the tree house and helped her refurbish the tree house, it took a good couple of hours but after we were done, I decided to go and help with Big Mac, This is a big farm after all.
"Need some help Big Mac?" he looked at me and thought something for a few seconds and said "Eeyup!"
The chore was in a simple word... Hard. It took hours and we still weren't finished, we decided it was time to stop for now and continue some other time as we went back home.
As soon as we got there, food were already laid out so we took our dinner and decided to rest for the day.
I stood by the door when I thought of making my sulking wife happy. I used my 'Tranform' magic and went inside
"Ah still say, Ah should have worked a li'l." she has her back to the door while laying down the bed so I can't really see her face, but I know she's pouting and somehow this made me smile and I wrote something on a piece of paper as I walked towards the bed
"After all Ah ain't a helpless li'l filly and you..." she stopped her rant when she felt something small and soft on her back and looked toward what it was... she saw me, in my wooly form holding a piece of paper that I was handing to her
"I Love You." She blushed, and she rarely does that even when we were dating
She laid her hat towards her face as she whispered "I love you too." normally I wouldn't hear it, but my hearing is strong in this form and her words made my heart beat faster... I really love this mare. I thought as I transformed back to human form.
"I'll be with you forever." I told her as I brushed her mane with my hand and she slowly lifted her hat away from her face and stopped when she could see me with one eye
"Will ya really?" She asked, I nodded.
"Of course. I wouldn't trade this for the world."
