The next morning, Loyalty was up and already started making breakfast. It took a while to figure where everything was because he knew that Cosmic and Jet move things around last night when he was unconscious. Once the other two got up breakfast was ready. Three daisy sandwiches with three apples. "Moring guys" he said.
"Seriously, how to you get up before us, you were even unconscious?" Cosmic said.
"Uhhh magic" he said making a big smile.
"Ha ha very funny."
"Hey would you rather have me cook because you know I'm usually up before you" Jet said chuckling.
"I thought we all agree to never let you near the kitchen."
Then three friensd all shared a small laugh and went to eat their breakfast. Once they finish they had a small discussion on what they were planning to do for today.
"I guessing we should look for some jobs to do" Jet said.
"Do we need to hand in anything I tired oh handing in a empty sheet a paper" Loyalty said, leaving the other two to chuckler a bit.
"No don't worry about that I think asking is enough to get you a part time job."
"Yeah this isn't Cloudsdale this place is a lot nicer than I expected" Cosmic said.
"Not unless they asked you to fight then they start to be jerks" Loyalty said leaving all three to laugh a bit.
"Well those jobs aren't going to come by us let's get going" Jet said.
After he said that somepony was knotting on the door and Cosmic went to answer it. He open the door and found Applejack "Hello."
"Howdy, Cosmic I was just thinking that zap apple season is about to start and we kind of need some help since, Big Mac hurt himself so I was wondering if you want to help, and of course we pay yeah" Applejack said.
"Sure" and as soon he said that, Applejack grabbed him and carried him all the way to Sweet Apple Acres.
"So much for jobs that are not coming to us" Loyalty said.
"Well if one of us already got a job, it means we don't have to look for a job just yet" Jet said.
"Yeah but I still going too" and after he said that the ran out the house, looking for a job.
Jet sighed "I guessed I looked for a job as well" he said to himself and went out.
Loyalty went around the town getting used to his surroundings before he search for a job. Once he was done his little project, he decided to tried Sugarcube Corner.
"Excuses me but can I have a part-time job" He asked Ms. Cake.
"Hey aren't you one of the new ponies that moved in?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guessing you didn't go."
"Sorry about that but I couldn't get a babysitter so I had to watch them with Mr. Cake."
"Makes sense to worry about your foals don't wanted anything bad to happen to them."
"Uh what are you implying uhh-."
"Loyalty and I'm not trying to imply anything it just a harsh life out there, well a least Ponyville is nice."
"Well uhh are you sure your name is Loyalty?"
"Looks like your the one who's trying to imply something now."
"Oh dear I'm sorry if that offended you but I never heard such a uh unique name."
"It's ok it's just the name I go by because I never got a real name. When I was saying it was a harsh life is because I get bullied a lot and I was hoping that your foals would be ok when they grow up and not get bully."
"Oh that very mind of you to care but don't worry Ponyville is a nice place, I won't worried to much. So what was the thing you wanted to asked, oh I can't remember."
"Don't worry about I'm pretty sure you got enough things to think I just be on my way."
"Oh ok then see ya."
Loyalty left heading to different places to get a part-time job. It took a long time to tried and find a part-time that he almost felt like going door to door and just doing small favors. He gave up and just walked around for a while. After a while a grey mare crashed into him. After the tumbling Loyalty couldn't see anything. He thought he was unconscious for moment, but he realize he could still think. He couldn't really do much so he tried to lifted his head up, but was stopped and soon he heard "Ah, you perv" and soon after he got a hoof-slap to the face.
"Owww" Loyalty wined. "I didn't do anything wrong."
"Ahh yeah you got close to my hind side" the grey mare said while getting off him.
"I didn't mean to, I just couldn't see anything so I try to move my head out of the way, by the way who are?"
"I guess your right and also I did crash into you but anyways I'm Derpy"
"Hi Derpy, I'm Loyalty"
"What kind of a name is Loyalty?"
"What kind of a name is Derpy?"
"It just a nickname the others give me, my really name is Ditzy Doo."
"Others, who this others you speak of?"
"Oh you know does people with their magic devices."
Loyalty back up a bit, probably from the word people. "Ok than well I got to go so bye than."
Loyalty tried to leave but Derpy interrupt him. "Now hold on I said my real name it's only fair if you tell me your real name because I know for the fact that there was never a Loyalty for a real name, I should know I'm am a mail mare."
"I don't have a real name I go by Loyalty though my friends, if ponies wanted to send something to me it would be though my friends, but it's not like anypony would send it to me anyways."
"Now I feel kind of bad because I remember seeing mail that was label to no name but my boss thought it was just a mistake and threw it away."
"It' fine, it's probably somepony trying to send hurtful things to me."
"Yeah but we still have a job to do and maybe those letters weren't hurtful comments maybe it was a nice letter."
"I doubt it and besides it's all in the past now, nothing can be done now."
"I guess your right... Oh I know how about we get you into the mail pegasus job you could get your own mail and help deliver some as well, oh come on lets go" Derpy said grabbing Loyalty and dragging him to the post office.
"I guess I have no choice yeah" Loyalty said and sign.
Applejack was dragging Cosmic all the way to Sweet Apples Acres. Cosmic didn't what to said anything, due to the fact he would be sucking up dust like a vacuum if he dare to open his mouth. He pry to Celestia that the trip didn't take any longer because if it did he felt like his wings would come off of him. He soon thought this was Applejack plan to strip him of his wings so he become an earth pony, but he just chuckle at the thought. Applejack stopped running when they got to Sweet Apples Acres, Cosmic went flying by the sudden stop. "Ops I better check to see if he's alright" she said to herself and then headed where he was falling.
Cosmic was sent flying and soon he crash landed into a tree house. "Arg what happen?" before he could get an answer three fillies started screaming.
"THERE AN INTRUDER WHAT DO WE DO!" the white unicorn filly yelled.
"APPLEJACK HELP!" the yellow earth filly yelled.
"WE NEED TO DEFEND THE HIDEOUT" the orange pegasus filly yelled.
Once Cosmic got up off the floor the three fillies scream "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS HIDEOUT DEFENCERS YAY!!!" and charge at Cosmic. He barely got enough time to react on what's going on but he made a clear head that the three fillies are attacking him. Soon he got up and just whack them with his wings.
"What in the darn nation is going on in here" Applejack said as she burst into the room. The place was a mess and Cosmic pointed at the CMC while they pointed at him. Applejack groaned "Looked Applebloom we don't that much time until zap apple season start. This is Cosmic Striker and he's going to work he for a while ok?"
"Oh ok sis sorry about that I we mess up" Applebloom said hanging her head down with the other two.
"It's ok, it's kind of my fault for crashing into your tree house I could have avoided it but I didn't, and I'm sorry."
"Good looks like you two made up now come along, Cosmic zap apple season started and we got to harvest them before there gone, you know how to apple buck right?" Cosmic nodded and they head out leaving the CMC alone.
"Well it look like we have to clean up c'mon you gals let's get cleaning" Applebloom said.
"Do we have to?" the orange pegasus asked?
"Oh coursed we have to, Scootaloo , right Sweetie Belle."
"Yeah come on we could always get our cleaning cutie mark" Sweetie Belle said.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CLEANERS!" the three friends yelled happily.
Jet roam around town trying to figure out a job. He couldn't really think of anything. A chef is already out of the question and fashion isn't his thing, especially since his wings could ruined any master pierce. He became frustrated and decided to give up and head to the library to read. As he enter the library, he notice how messes the inside of the tree was. Books and scroll were litter everywhere. "Uhhh hello is anypony home?" he said but got no response. He decided to clean up the place, but before he did he notice a giant hole on the ceiling. He question how he didn't even notice until now and what cause that hole. He example the sides to of the hole to find it had black scorch marks so there was a explosion, but there was one key detail he's was over lapping. How didn't he hear it. A hole that big, should have made a loud boom, but then again how is this building still standing if there was a explosion that big. He decide to stop thinking about it and just clean the darn place so he can read. It took a while to finish but he did what he could and got the place clean. He decided to read where the sunlight was coming though the ceiling. As he settle down the front door of the library went open. Twilight and Spike came in a panic, but found it surprising when the library somewhat clean. Twilight look around and saw Jet reading in the sunlight.
"Hey, Jet how's it going?" Twilight asked nervously.
"Twilight care to explain" he said as he pointed upwards toward the hole in the ceiling.
"That was always there."
"You always keep a giant hole in the ceiling."
"Yep now can you uhh get out I need to uhh reorganize the books right, Spike"
"Uhh yeah."
"You do are sounding weird like you just did something bad" after he said that a shadowy figure appeared behind him. Once the figure appeared it got a temporary blindness from Jet's metal wing reflecting sunlight. The figure move backwards causing the ground to shake which made Jet turn back to see a owl-like creature behind him. "Explain" he said while getting up.
"Well you see I cast the wrong spell, and Owlowiscious was in the way, and I kind of turn him into a monster, but do worry I have a plan" Twilight said.
"I pretty sure your plan has a giant hole in it" Jet said dodging Owlowiscious peck.
"How could you make puns at a time like" Twilight said looking though a bunch of books for a spell.
"Any day any owls I can make puns."
"Stop with the puns please" Twilight wined.
"Fix it and owl think about it" Twilight just groaned at that pun. Dodging Owlowiscious wasn't easy because of the cramped area and soon a book was threw into Jet. "Mmmm...-" Jet went to Twilight "-use this spell trust me."
Twilight looked at the spell she was given. "Why to need a throwing up spell. Jet?"
"Just casted it on, Owlowiscious trust me" and soon she casted it and Owlowiscious threw up.
"Ewww gross" Spike complained after being incased in barf.
Owlowiscious return to normal, but there was still the little virus that control him. "Now my chance" Jet said walking into the sunlight. He used his wings to reflect sunlight onto the virus, vaporizing it. "Well that was a puking experience" he said with a grin as they all clean the library.
"We're here Loyalty" as she turned to look at Loyalty, she can't stop laughing. Loyalty mouth was full of dirt. "Loyalty you know your not supposed to eat dirt."
Loyalty spat out the dirt. "Well you not supposed to dragged a pony for so long they fall asleep."
"Sorry I got lost, but you could have help."
"Yeah I could, but no you wanted to drag me instead."
"Well uhh whatever let's just head inside" she said bringing Loyalty inside of the building.
"So this is what a post office looks like. I always thought it would be more like a factory but it somewhat looks simple."
"Well this isn't like a rainbow factory it's completely different."
"DERPY! DID YOU FINISH YOUR ROUTE AND WHO'S THIS PONY?" A pegasus shouted at her.
"Yes and you know the mail we get that was to send to a pony with no name" Derpy said normally like if the other pegasus was trying to be intimidating .
"YEAH WHAT ABOUT IT?"
"Well this is the pony who should have gotten the mail because, Loyalty has no name" Derpy said causing Loyalty to give himself a face-hoof.
"YOU JUST GAVE HIM A NAME, EXPLAIN!"
Derpy was about to speak, but Loyalty did instead. "Loyalty is just a name I go by, it's not my real name."
"THAN SAY YOUR REAL NAME, SON!"
"I told you I don't have a real name."
y
"IMPOSSIABLE EVERYPONY HAS A NAME!"
"Yeah well not me, I was never given a name, Loyalty is just a nickname I go by."
"OK THAN WHAT DOES HE WANT KNOW I THREW OUT THE LETTERS A LONG TIME AGO!"
"I know and our duty is to always to deliver mail but we fail so I kind of got a idea of making him a mail pony so he can get some his mail and help others as well."
"I do need a job" Loyalty pointed out.
"I DON'T KNOW, WE JUST CAN'T HIRE ANYPONY TO DELIVER MAIL AND WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH PONIES!"
"You never what would happen it's always good to prepare for the unexpected right?"
"FINE, BUT I NEED TO LET ONE PONY GO SO WERE GOING TO HAVE A RACE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES, THE SLOWEST ONE IS FIRE! BE AT TOWN HALL AT FOUR AM. I WILL NOW TELL THE OTHER EMPLOYEES, SO YOU PONIES BETTER PREPARE!" he said and soon leaves.
"Did you prepare for that, Derpy?"
"No" she said sadly.
In Sweet Apple Acres the zap apple harvest was happing better then before. With Cosmic moving faster then Big Mac if he was harvesting but all he did was bringing the baskets in and out. Applejack told him to rest but he kind of stubborn pony, but really he just looking out for Applejack and making sure Cosmic doesn't have any ideas.
"Thanks again for your help again, Sugarcube. We sure are thankful for your help aren't we, Big Mac?"
"Err yup" Big Mac said.
"It was no problem at all. I needed a job anyways to provide for my friends and besides it's a good workout" Cosmic said, while bringing in a lot of cart full baskets fill with zap apples.
"You sure like to work out, Cosmic" Applebloom said.
"That's what my cutie mark is for."
"Really? I thought it meant your good at setting fires."
"Applebloom don't be rude" Applejack scolded Applebloom.
"It's quite alright, other ponies usually think that as well" Cosmic said as he chuckle.
"Really how many ponies told you that?" Applebloom asked.
"It depends on how many ponies actual comes up to freak like me and asked about my cutie mark."
"Why would you say something like that, Cosmic?" Applejack said very seriously.
"Huh what do you mean?"
"You know what I'm calling yourself a freak isn't right."
"Yeah" Applebloom added.
"Well look at me my wings doesn't match all with my fur."
"So what's the big deal then?" Applebloom asked.
"Then why is it a big deal to get a cutie mark kid?"
"Because I'm just a useless blank flank because of that."
"Applebloom how many time do we got to tell your not useless?" Applejack said.
"Yes I'm am, I'm different because everypony but, Scootaloo and, Sweetie Belle has a cutie mark."
"Yeah I know how you feel kid."
"No you don't, you have your cutie mark I don't how can you what's it like,"
"Well look at these" Cosmic expanded his wing greatly that it even reach the very bottom of branch of a tree. "I was born not only with a different color, but when I was a colt my wings were bigger then me so I keep tripping on them but over the year I learn how contract them when I was older, but when I was young I was made fun of a lot more then not having a cutie mark."
"I guess your right... hey look were at the barn."
"Good that kart was going to hurt my hind side not to mention my wings when I open them."
"Well I unload...-" Applejack didn't finish as she saw Applebloom was endanger. Part of the barn was falling off and Applejack had less time to react. She leap toward Applebloom pushing her out of the way, but in doing so she hurt her bucking legs.
"Applejack are you ok?" Cosmic said pushing off the plank of wood with Big Mac.
"I fine let's get back to-" she tried to get up but her hind legs were giving in "-work"
"Nope" Big Mac said.
"He's right you can barely keep your footing, I get back to work" as soon as he said that Big Mac stopped him
"Nope."
"What do you mean nope I'm fine and beside the zap apple rarely comes like once a year and we only have five days to harvest them."
"Wow you know your apple history" Applejack said.
"I read a lot when I'm bored."
"But anyways you deserve a break even you been though a lot just come back fully rested and you can buck longer, but for now you need your rest."
"Fine I'll head home then" he said and leaving pretty fast.
"Was that really a good idea Applejack?" Applebloom asked.
"Trust me he needs some rest though what I put him though how about you asked mah friends to see if they can help ok?"
"Ok, Applejack" she said leaving to go give Twilight and friends the message.
Once Applebloom couldn't be heard Applejack spoke again. "Now that we're alone, Big Mac I think we should talk about you shouldn't be butting into other ponies love life. Big Mac only nodded knowing this discussion isn't going to end well.
At the silent library two ponies, a dragon, and a owl was cleaning up the place. It took a long while to get rid of the puke and fixing the ceiling but they were able were able to do it before the sun was down. "Hey, Twilight you never told me how the giant hole was made?'
"Oh that, well I was trying to fix Owlowiscious I cast a launching spell by mistake and that's how I made the giant hole."
"Oh."
"But I got to said how did you know there was a virus in him?"
"I took note before that I kind of did the same as you but not with a spell but with a potions, I turn, Cosmic into the same thing. It took a long time to figure what to do but I was able to make him puke so I knew what to do."
"I never really meant a pegasus so into book before."
"Well what am I supposed to do I lost my feathers a long time ago and I couldn't fly anymore, sure I can go cheer on my friends when their racing or practicing a stunt, sometimes when they don't need me I got nothing to do, so I decided to read and I like it a lot. I soon took potion brewing and learned how to make a health potion but the materials are rare and hard to come by."
"Wait you made a health potion but you don't share it why?"
"It's because many ponies don't usually drink potions that are made by pegasus for really good reasons."
"Like what?"
"Well first the time it takes a long time to brew it perfectly especially since we're in the sky it takes a longer time because of the wind the comes though Cloudestale. Second, well at this potion is the materials. It takes time to get just the right type of items, it a has to be pick on the right timing or the potions will cause a different effect and like I said pegasus ponies don't have the time."
"But your different I'm pretty sure Equestria will be thankful, I know I asked princess Celestia tell everypony about you amazing potion. Spike take a letter."
"Now hold on a second I don't what that ponies to know about my own health potions" Jet said stopping Spike from writing the letter.
"Why not made a potion the could heal wounds I'm pretty sure Celestia will get the materials you be a hero, maybe even being the first pegasus potion brewer to ever live."
"You skipping one important factor."
"What is that?"
"Doctors and nurses will be out of the job, farm lands that was for herbs and other stuff will be turn into farms to only harvest the things that are needed for the potion, not to mention one screw up can cost the entire potion do be completely bad, and the side effects of the mess up brew does not feel good."
"Jeez I never thought about that, I think I see your point."
"Good now I'm going home so bye."
"Bye" Spike and Twilight said.
"Spike take a letter."
"Why?"
"Because that potion could change lives."
"But didn't, Jet said not to do it because messing it up does not feel good, I think we should agree on him at that."
"Yeah but we could always just heal them with the right potion, right?"
"I guess so."
"Good now take a letter. Dear princess-"
The three friend head home feeling like their was a giant burden to them. Loyalty made it home first and started cooking dinner. Jet made it home second and Cosmic third. "So how was your day?" Loyalty asked.
"I probably have to harvest zap apple by myself because Applejack hurt her legs, by saving Applebloom from falling wood planks" Cosmic said.
"I felt like I shared to much information about my potions to, Twilight. What about you Loyalty?" Jet asked.
"I have to race the other employees if I want a mail pony." Loyalty said.
"What time does the race start?" Cosmic asked.
"Four am."
"I should have expect that the mail get's derived at six" Jet said.
"Hey, Jet what to help with harvesting the zap apples?'
"Uh... sure we could use the strength and stamina potions to make it easy" Jet said.
"Good thing there so easy to brew not like your health potions."
"I help you guys after I'm done but are you coming to watch?" Loyalty asked.
"You know it" they both said. After they ate they decided to hit the sank early because who know what kind of madness there coming for tomorrow.
