“… One bottle of beer on the wall!” I had stopped laughing like a maniac and had simply enjoyed the angry looks I had received from the rest of the girls. The chariot landed in Ponyville square and we hopped off, the guards left without even saying goodbye which Rarity took notice of.
“How rude”
“Yeah, well I’ll see you girls later.” I was planning on playing around with my forge a bit, I mean I have Titans to fight! I think I’ll need more than a sniper, a revolver, and a katana to take down all-powerful beings that rival gods.
“Well actually Jake Ah was hoping you would come to the farm.”
“You seem to have me confused for a person willing to actually work hard.” She rolled her eyes
“Not to work, Ah figured it’s about time for Big Mac to apologize for kicking you up side the head.”
“Oh well that sounds much more pleasant than working.” Twilight looked at me
“You are the laziest person I know.”
“I am also the only person you know, and therefore your favorite.” She smiled and rolled her eyes, but didn’t deny it.
“Alright come on lover boy.” Applejack bumped her head against my leg pushing me towards the farm. On the way there I couldn’t help but feel that I was forgetting something. I heard a loud crooning come from above me, I looked up and saw Cinisavis flying right towards me looking rather angry.
[How can a bird look angry?]
{He found a way that’s for damn sure} He landed on my shoulder
“Hey Cinisavis long time no see” instead of an answer he began pecking my head, hard.
“Alright, alright I’m sorry! Jeez.” He stopped pecking me and huffed
“You know if anyone should be angry it should be me at you, I mean I went off to fight the Queen of the freakin changelings! And you were off doing….. Whatever it was you do in you spare time.” He crooned angrily and began preening his feathers, I didn’t know whether or not that meant he preens in his off time or he doesn’t want to talk about it.
Either way I stopped trying to talk to him since he is a bird and people already think I’m crazy enough as it is. I looked back up to see that we were outside the farmhouse with Granny Smith sitting on the porch.
“You’re one strange looking pony” she said as she looked me up and down.
“Granny that’s rude, sorry Jake she doesn’t mean to be rude it just kinda comes out.” I ignored Applejack
“Why, yes ma’am I am an oddity that’s something we can seem to agree upon.” She snorted
“I like your friend Applejack, but he’s too skinny” she said and poked me in the ribs
“OW!”
“Oh hush, if I was trying to hurt you I would’ve” old people are so funny. Cinisavis flew into a nearby tree and laid down on a branch, fine see if I help you when old mares start poking YOU!
“Granny have you seen Big Mac?”
“I think he’s in the fields.” She went back to poking me in the ribs ignoring my yelps.
“Jake you stay here while I go find him.” I saluted
“Aye-Aye ma-OW would you quit poking me?!”
“No! You need more to eat! Come on I’ll bulk you up” she began to push me into the house, I looked at Applejack
“Help me” she chuckled and looked at me with a mixture of amusement and pity before trotting off towards the fields.
Granny, as she insisted on being called, pushed me into the kitchen and sat me down at the table, well she tried to in the end I had to pull one of my chairs out of storage and sit down. Granny went over to the stove and began to cook… something, point was it smelled delicious. I heard hoovesteps in the hall-way and thought that AJ might have found Big Mac already but instead Applebloom walked in.
“Jake what are you doing here?”
“I’ve been kidnapped, send for help.” She looked at me confused
“You mean foalnapped?”
“Sure let’s go with that.” She smiled
“Hey Granny can Jake help me with the clubhouse while you cook dinner?”
“Hmm? Sure just be quick!” Applebloom began to push me out the door.
“Wait, do I get a say in this?” she looked up at me and turned on the puppy eyes
“Pllleeeeaasssee?”
[Oh gods please make it stop]
{I think I’m about to die of cuteness overload}
“Okay”
“Yay! Come on!” she began to push me with her head again
“I can walk you know”
“Well hurry up!” she began to run in front of me and I had to jog to keep up. We ran through the apple trees until we came out into a clearing with the crusaders clubhouse in the middle.
“So what is it that you want me to do?”
“I need help fixing the clubhouse’s floor.”
“Why do you need me for that?”
“You have those” she said and pointed at my hands
“Thumbs?”
“Yeah those.”
“Fine I’ll try, put I’m not much of a handy-man”
“Ok follow me” she began trotting up the ramp to the clubhouse with me, carefully, following her. I stooped inside and looked around; there were several chests, a table, and some posters up which lead me to wonder how a pony went about setting posters up without thumbs. I relied on my all-time favorite answer: magic!
“See these boards are rotting out.” I looked back over to where Applebloom was pointing
“Yep those look rotted, do you have some boards?” she was already holding a hammer and some nails
“Okay hold on a sec” I went over and began to push a chest off of the rotted board. Unfortunately the board was more rotted than I had expected and my foot went straight through it. I heard a loud groaning noise
“Oh this is bad” the rest of the board cracked apart and I fell through and hit the grass with a thud. I sat up and rubbed my head.
“Well that wasn’t as bad as I expected.” I heard another loud groaning and looked up just in time to see a chest falling towards my face.
