Stuck with you

by CaioCoia

A morning it's still a morning

As the dark purple over the night was being extinguished from the good colors of the orange over the horizon, a matriarch of a whole farm got up from her lonely bed, as she used both her hands to rub her face, she let a yawn of a typical ritual of the morning.

As she walked over the corridor, she looked at the family photo of her family. The smile of her son and the happy face of her daughter-in-law showed how much they were happy being as a family. Memories that the grandmother Smith couldn't help but relief. After watching both kids looking for their own relatives the night before. Granny Smith thought about having contact with a relative she hated in childhood, a rival but who became a good friend as they were old...

"Ah think Pear would like to hear about this story." The matriarch walked over the stairs but something took her attention, sounds over the kitchen. "It seems Big Mac and Applejack woke up earlier this time, maybe it was because of the order this month? Ah should ask Big Mac if they need help... Morning ki... oh... are you two?"

Granny Smith who was expecting her grandkids to prepare themselves for another day of work, wasn't expecting the two royal siblings sitting beside the table drinking water and eating.

"Oh, good morning Miss Smith." Cadance who was eating a fruit looked surprised at the matriarch as her own brother was eating a muffin over their table. "If you didn't mind we brought our breakfast from home and we took a glass of water from here."

Blueblood who was still munching his breakfast used a napkin to clean himself before talking with the Matriarch who was kind to them.

"Good morning Miss Smith, I hope you have slept well."

Granny Smith was still shocked from noticing the visitors were the first people who got woken up before the sunrise, she was surprised because the kids on these days always enjoyed waking up late on the weekends.

"Ah slept well, thank you for asking kids. Ah don't mind for the water, but ah was going to make the breakfast for all of the kids before they start work today." Granny Smith decided to get beside the oven and looked at the kids beside her. "Ah will prepare something for you both to eat as well."

Both Cadance and Blueblood who were eating their breakfast looked at each other and noticing they had already eaten a bit, shrugged before nodding happily from her offering.

"Usually Ah was expecting you both to wake up in more than 5 hours since the kids on these days love to wake up at 10 a.m." Granny Smith took a plate of Apples and decided to make good fritters with it for their enjoyment, but the comment from Granny Smith made both of them raise their own eyebrows.

"Really?" Both asked surprised, as they indeed cannot understand the customs and the rules of the humans.

"Yep, but my ma always thought me that the early bird always takes the worm, and ah taught my son that way and my grandkids. Can ah ask if you both slept well last night?" The elder of the family asked but looking at the faces of both siblings they seemed perfectly fine from their looks, it seems they weren't tired as many kids who would be at the same hour.

Both siblings nodded their heads.

"We slept well. Sorry to surprise you but our aunty always makes us wake up before the sunrise and that makes this a custom for us. We kinda know when it was time to wake up every day without needing a wake-up call." Blueblood said as his sister smiled nodding her head, making Granny Smith pleased of knowing about it.

"Oh, it seems your aunt knows the importance of waking up early." She couldn't deny that there was someone willing to wake up early to start their activities, which would add more points for her visitors. "So can you tell me what you kids plan to do today?"

Both siblings remained quiet thinking about the problem.

"You see Miss Smith..." Blueblood was trying to be the most respectful as the matriarch but she raised her hand and interrupted him.

"Please, stop calling me this fru fru stuff, you can call me Granny." Granny Smith smiled as she rolled her eyes thinking about she liked the kids being educated but this was almost getting annoying to her.

"Well Granny Smith, like we said yesterday, our cousin is lurking around this city trying to find his sister... a cousin we didn't visit for a long time," Cadance said as she looked at the matriarch cooking something smelling delicious.

"So how do you plan into finding him?" Granny Smith said as she finally finished making the breakfast and organized the table. She then looked above her and before even Blueblood and Cadance open their mouths Granny Smith shouted out. "APPLEJACK, BIG MACINTOSH, APPLEBLOOM, WAKE UP YOUR SLACKERS, THE SUN IS ALREADY UP."

Both Cadance and Blueblood winced from her shout but couldn't help but admire the simplicity and humble feast of the breakfast. The smile of the granny as she sits beside them and started to eat made both of them comfortable to start to eat the apple fritters.

It didn't take long until Applejack ran downstairs.

"Granny Smith, be careful to not scream, the visitors may not want to wake up... oh... you two were already awake?" The surprise in her tone indicated that she never imagined that she could see both siblings actually eating their breakfast or even managed to wake up before her and Big Mac.

Granny Smith giggled from the reaction of her grandaughter as both Blueblood after eating an apple fritter used a napkin to clean his mouth.

"As I informed miss... I mean... Granny Smith, we both actually were used to waking up early than the sun rising to start our activities over the day, and by the way granny, by aunty these fritters were amazing, never had it something so tasteful on..." Blueblood was almost saying something he shouldn't until he received a kick on his foot. Which made him glance at his sister who smiled forced at him and made him understand the message before talking. "Where we live."

It happened so quickly that it seems nobody saw the sudden exchange of glances... Except for Applejack who watched his quick flinch from the kick.

"Something happened Blueblood?"Applejack raised her eyebrow making both Cadance and Blueblood look at her surprised. Glancing at the farm girl who seemed to have a very special way to read people, Blueblood decided to wave her concerns away.

"Ah nothing much, It's just something must have pinched my foreleg on this chair," Blueblood said as he looked at the chair which seemed a good oak chair that decorates all over the kitchen. "I must say, it's really rustic and natural furniture you have. It must have been really expensive to make all the furniture."

Like a sudden exchange of flow of the conversation, Applejack felt sidetracked as Granny Smith chuckled at his question.

"Actually I made them by myself," Granny said proudly as Blueblood raised his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

"Noooo, seriously?" Blueblood sounded deep in disbelief, as he looked at the proud woman who seemed to experience working all by herself.

"Eeyup." Granny smiled at the fancy boy who seemed too curious, as the sister looked around and finish her plates. "I worked with wood when I was a teenager, my ma and pa taught me how to work with wood, as the same way I taught my own boy Bright Mac how to be a lumberjack as well and how to take care of all our trees and wood."

"Fascinating," Blueblood said as Cadance managed to move away from her sit to let the little girl sit and enjoy her breakfast.

"There you go, dear." Cadance smiled at the red-haired girl who seemed with her hair a lot messed and needed despairingly a shower to fix it. "Granny do you want some help with the dishes?"

As the pink teenager sounded so polite and sincere, Applejack looked at her own brother who seemed in silence with his eyebrows raised.

"Oh Cadance, yah don't have to. I actually can take care of myself. Why not you and your brother after the breakfast go around this place and meet our farm?" The smiling matriarch was indeed liking to know both siblings, but from the way they looked at her, it seems that it wasn't actually what she will receive on the day.

"Well. We would love to, but I think it's for the best if I and Bluey go around and try to find our cousins, we have to pass the time of the morning looking around the city. Especially with the ones who can actually have a way to find him." Cadance placed her hand over the smiling old lady who seemed to understand what she was saying.

"Ah, so the youngling it's actually somewhere over the city? Well, if he is in the city, we can start looking around by the school which seemed to be the place I found you. If I talk with the Principal, she may know someone who can find the boy you are looking for." The smiling lady said making both Cadance's eyes sparkle with hope, but Blueblood smiled as he drank a good apple juice in his hands.

"That would be pleasant Granny, sorry for bothering you this morning." As another polite gratitude, Blueblood kept in mind that the family was indeed a good treasure on their hooves, somepony who actually trusted them so sincerely means a good value to them. He promised himself that he would compensate them for their help when they needed it.

"Yah don't have it. Feela, it's just the right thing to do. And knowing the character of yah two, ah know that the boy is in good hands, and yah will find him in no time." Granny Smith smiled as she placed another plate of food, for the apple siblings who seemed eager to eat their breakfast and have a good time. Leaving another plate, one especially for her. Which made Cadance smile happily as she saw the family in unison, and someday she wished to be part of something like that with her family. "Now Applejack you and Big Mac need any help with the order of the month?"

Applejack who seemed eating her breakfast in silence suddenly looked at her granny who seemed interested to know but looking at her brother. Big Mac shook his head.

"Yah doesn't have to worry about it Granny, Mac, and Ah just finished most of the order yesterday, tomorrow we can finish it in a breeze. Ah took most part of the apples because one friend of mine passed a trouble yesterday and Ah wants to ask what happened." Applejack after seeing the messages from her friends and a photograph of Sunset Shimmer and a boy with green color staring at each other. She knew something was off, and she wants to help Rarity and Pinkie Pie be out of the problem, even if she had to fight to make sure they are okay.

"Oh, dear. Well, if ya need anything. Then you can go back here as a backup. Ah, and your brother can solve most of the problems." Granny giving a knowing glance, gave the advice, and Applejack finally ate her breakfast and took her Stetson ready for the day.

"Will do Granny. Smell yah later folks." Applejack just went straight to the field, as she run faster in the direction of the town.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The silence reign in the kitchen as the white-skinned girl who didn't even have time to fix her hair as she was wearing pajamas glared at her friends who seemed to feel quite sheepish. The girl was eating her scrambled eggs and drinking what would be a natural orange juice which she didn't remember when she bought it from the supermarket.

As the divine smile could make the sound of some stomaches groan from hungry, the girl ignored it as she savored the smell and the taste of such an amazing dish.

"You know I hate when you just come to my house while I'm eating my breakfast." Rarity remained polite but showed coldness in her tone since she hated to be seen by her friends without preparing herself to look beautiful as she makes effort every day.

"I'm sorry Rarity, but from all the photos we received yesterday, we wanted to make sure that you are safe from the claws of such a vile girl as Sunset Shimmer." Rainbow Dash, moved her fingers like it was the claws of a harpy, but that made Rarity roll her eyes further.

"Yeah, I can imagine how awful would be to actually be a babysitter to a boy who just got on a trip from his own home to find his lost sister after many years without seeing each other." Rarity wasn't in the mood for drama, but she decided to launch a quick guilt trip as the girls' eyes went wide open in surprise. "Oh, poor boy, traveling far away from home, in a personal mission to ask his own sister to come back and talk to their own mother."

"Is that true?" Fluttershy was a bit in concern for her friends as she looked at how sadly the purple-haired friend was eating her breakfast, even if the smell of the eggs was still attracting many of her friends around.

"Well, I'm not in place to judge how awful Sunset Shimmer was, but after meeting her cute little brother, I have to confess that I never imagined the quoted water and wine so spot-on in my life. The little boy was exactly the opposite of his sister, and yet it seems that he makes her a little less awful." Rarity used her napkin to clean her face as she could see the constricted face of her friends around her. "I know that it may sound crazy, but having seen their interaction yesterday. I'm just glad that she didn't actually go crazy on Spike, even being awful it seems that she still cares for him."

"That's what I said to them." Pinkie Pie smiled as she placed a huge cake over the table, it looked like a clear yellow frosting around, it was 2 layer cake, and it looked appetizing. "But I think it was the best you explain to us how was your night with him."

"Well, to say that he is polite and kind is too obvious, I never thought that he would actually pay his kindness and actually prepare the breakfast for me." Rarity tapped the fork on the plate, as the group looked at her in disbelief.

"Wait, hold on. Are you telling me that Sunset's brother made breakfast for you?" Rainbow Dash looked at her, as she sniffed the plate which made her eyes wide open and salivates a little. "Isn't that dangerous, knowing who is he?"

"Oh Rainbow, firstly, clean your mouth, you are drooling. And second, Spike is a gentledr... I mean, a gentleman, he wanted to pay his kindness after his sister actually and I quote "forced" me to shelter him until the second time. And have to say, being around without Sweetie Belle and mom and dad was actually lonesome. But I'm glad that he was actually a good company." Rarity explained as she took her plate and went at the dishes and started to clean up. And later brother bunch of plates around with her and a knife to eat the cake.

"Well, you got a point sugarcube, but ah still don't trust someone from that family." Apple Jack said as she helped Rarity to make the table and make some slices of cake for everyone to enjoy.

The group decided it was a good time to sit and taste the cake as they wait for the new boy to come out of the bathroom.

And the yellow frosty around the cake as the inside there was a great color of red, which made the girls intrigued, but still having a desire to taste another of the great cakes that Pinkie Pie brought from Sugar Cube Corner.

And at the time that each of them took a bit, their eyes went wide open as their mouth started to burn.

Rainbow Dash spat out immediately as she tried clean her tongue. Applejack did her best to control her pain as she swallowed with all her might, it was too spice for her. Rarity went quickly to the refrigerator and took a gallon of milk and placed it in 2 glasses, as Fluttershy drank as she ate calmy the cake.

Pinkie Pie smiled at the hot flavor on her mouth.

"Hmmm, tasty." Pinkie Pie said, as her friends looked at her in disbelief.

"Pinkie Pie what the heck is on this cake?" Rainbow Dash said after drinking a glass of water, as the others looked at her exasperated.

"Well, it has pepper sauce, peppermint candy, cinnamon, and habanero spice. With frost of lemon and mint, it's called..." Pinkie Pie touched each of her fingers as she described the ingredients, as suddenly a boyish voice came from the corridor.

"Oh boy, it's the Sunrise Lemon explosion cake?" Spike said as he quickly went over to the table and grabbed a plate and already started to eat the slice. After feeling the burn from inside of his throat, Spike smiled as he felt such warm inside of himself. "Wow, it tasted as good as I remember."

The sudden boy eating the impossible cake made the group around him has their look in disbelief. As Spike smiled with his eyes closed and quickly finished his slice.

"Man, Pinkie you surpassed yourself, it's difficult to make it a good cake like this." Spike opened his eyes as he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by a bunch of girls, who looked exactly like his friends from Equestria... Feeling the nervous sweat passing on his forehead, he couldn't help but smile sheepishly. "Heheheh... good morning girls... my name is Spike. Nice to meet you."

"How is it possible for you to eat this kind of cake?" Rainbow Dash forgot that she was talking about who the brother was, but at the boy who actually can eat a cake with pepper sauce on it?

"Well... it's my mother's favorite... Once per year, she asks the chefs to make this cake for her." Spike asked surprised, as he could see the twitching eyes of the blue girl. "Anyway Pinkie, how did you manage to find this recipe?"

"Well, I tried to go crazy when I thought about dragons, so the first thing I thought was... How hot could I make the cake? Then I thought well it is going to make it hurt, it must be tasty. So I add more ingredients. And I was going to name it, the surprising volcano... but Sunrise Lemon explosion cake sounded pretty neat as well." Pinkie shrugged her arms, as she thought about the names, but having a powerful princess who can control the sun named her cake before her, who is she to be different?

The eyes twitching from the group was the signal of what would be the craziest Sunday before going back to school.

You still don't know him and you already prejudge him AJ, but I can understand if Sunset was really as mean as she was shown in Equestria Girls.
