----Schoolhouse Apples Part One----
Nyx sat underneath a tree that was just outside of Ponyville's schoolhouse. She looked at the building and smiled a little as she saw that it was just how she remembered it. But that smile soon turned away as she remembered Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. Speaking of which, Nyx couldn't help but to think that she needed to see them to see if they changed at all. She was ripped from her thoughts as she saw the pony she was wanting to see. Inside was her old teacher, Cheerilee. She couldn't help but to smile. Yes indeed, she didn't change since she left for her adventure. Nyx stood and strolled to the front, making sure to look through the window to see if she was still preoccupied with getting ready for the upcoming school year. After cracking open the door quietly, Nyx dissolved and worked her way to behind the teacher.
After resurfacing, Nyx covered Cheeilee's eyes, earning a small yelp from her. "Nice to see you're busy as always." Nyx commented into her ear. Cheeilee's ear shot up and she broke free of Nyx's jump-scare.
"Nyx! Is that really you?" she inquired with a smile.
"Nice to know you still remember me!" Nyx replied with a smile in return.
"Ooohhh! It's so good to see you!" Cheerilee cheered as she hugged Nyx.
"Same to you!" she commented back.
"What brings you here?" Cheerilee questioned as they broke the embrace.
"Just wanted to stop and say 'hi' and to say I'm going to be in town for a few weeks." Nyx informed. "Plus, I hear you're an Apple now."
"Let me guess, you saw Applebloom?"
"Yeah. she said that I needed to see you." Nyx nodded. After a few more minutes of idle chatter, the door opened and caused all chatter to evaporate into the air. "Is it just me or is that Nyx Ah'm seein'?" the pony wondered rhetorically.
"Nice to see you again, Big Mac." Nyx greeted with a shared hoof-bump.
"Oh, Nyx." Cheerliee started as if she remembered something. "Remember when I mentioned earlier about me being married."
"Shut up!" Nyx replied with wide eyes. "You and Mac are married?"
"Surprise!" Cheerilee giggled. "Want to meet the other?"
"And a child!" Nyx replied. "Things certainly HAVE changed!" They continued their conversation as they walked to the property Nyx thought she would never see again. "Something's different." Nyx noted as she looked over Sweet Apple Acres.
"You mean the cherry orchard we added?" Mac replied. "That's actually where we're headed."
"I thought I'd never see the day that Sweet Apple Acres starts to grow something other than apples." Nyx chuckled.
When they arrived, Nyx spotted a cherry-colored mare running from tree to tree, kicking them and sending them down to the baskets below. After a few minutes, the mare wiped beads of sweat from her forehead. "Hey, June!" Big Mac called out to her. "C'mere for a sec!"
"Comin'!" she called back.
"Nyx this is Red June." Cheerliee introduced.
"Howdy there!" June greeted with an outstretched hoof.
"Hi." Nyx smiled as she shook her hoof.
"So, old friend of ma and pa?" June questioned as she wiped some more sweat.
"I was actually and old student of Cheerilee's." Nyx explained.
"And an alicorn?" June wondered as she walked around Nyx.
"Yeah."
"I thought there were only four." June pointed out.
"I've been travelling a while." Nyx explained as June looked up to her face.
"Are you Nightmare Moon?" she questioned.
"WAS Nightmare Moon." Nyx corrected.
"I'm going to go help fix up dinner. June, why don't you introduce Nyx to Del?" Cheerilee offered. "Then get cleaned up."
"Yes, ma'am!" June nodded. "C'mon, Del's workin' the western orchard." While they walked, Nyx's nostalgia peaked as she remembered she would come here to help Applejack and Big Mac when she was younger. Nyx couldn't help but to smile. "Aunt Applejack never mentioned you." June pointed out.
"It's a long story." Nyx explained, trying to avoid another long telling. They halted when they heard a tree fall. They galloped over to where it fell and there was an orange-colored stallion with a wide grin laughing a little at the turquoise-colored.......what ever he is. "What the hay just happened!?" June questioned.
"Turquoise here knocked over the tree with a single kick!" the stallion announced. The whatever-he-is, now named Turquoise, blushed a little and rubbed a leg.
"Holy smokes!" June exclaimed. While this conversation was going on, Nyx stared in confusion at Turquoise. This didn't go unnoticed. "Um...hi." T greeted. "I'm Turquoise Blitz." He stertched out a hoof that had claws. CLAWS!
"I'm Nyx." she greeted back and leaving his hoof untouched. Then Nyx began to pace around his body, analyzing everything. "What are you?" she wondered.
"I-I'm a dragon-pony hybrid." he explained. "Or kirin."
"I've never heard of a dragon and pony mating before!" Nyx admitted.
"Yeah." he sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. "It's just me and my sister right now."
"Not to be rude or anythin'," June spoke up, "But this is my cousin, Golden Delicious. Del, Nyx. Nyx, Del."
"Nice to meet ya!" Del greeted.
"Hey." Nyx greeted back. "By the shade of yellow you are I bet your mother is Applejack."
"How'd ya know?" Del questioned.
"Lucky guess." Nyx shrugged.
"C'mon, dinner's almost ready." June announced. "Dibs on the shower!" With that, June ran off.
"Oh no ya don't!" Del called out as he chased her. Nyx smiled as she flew behind them.
