Though I'm not new when it comes to writing fanfiction, I know I'm far from perfect. Hopefully as I try my hand at writing the many MLP fics I have in my head, I'll get much better at it.

E

A hapless young stallion finds himself in need of a source of employment. Fortunately, it seems lady luck is shining on him, as he returns to his foalhood home of Ponyville to work for the Apple family with the ever expanding work that the farm has to offer. He is even working with a dear old friend of his. Not a thing could possibly go wrong now.... Right?

But he quickly finds out that a life in Ponyville is anything but easy, and how a friendship can change and alter over the course of time. Most likely an awkward mess. All the while unknowingly helping to cause a ruffle in the feathers of two good friends.

Heh. This is actually going to be my first attempt at a story of this... genre. Hopefully you all have taken a bit of an interest in the story now, and that I'll be able to make the story a wonderful read for everyone.

11/10 would masturbate vigorously to again. :moustache:

I hear becoming a guard doesn't require much.

Zing. :pinkiehappy:

Well written.....interesting character.......
watch this I will.

Woohoo! An update!!!

I have to say, I do like Trader's character....a very upbeat fic this is ^_^
Looking forward to the continuation! Great chapter!
:moustache: <--- moustache of approval.

I love his actions at end of this chapter :rainbowlaugh:

We all have those moments. Poor Trader....

AWESOME chapter! :pinkiehappy:

Wow, I wonder if there's a story behind that reaction. He seems unduly terrified. :rainbowderp:

Let's see what is his trouble is.

DUM DUM DUUUUUUM!
Hope he's not in TOO much trouble :rainbowderp:

Loving this story:coolphoto: poker face

ROCKIN' I am loving this. to be truthfully honest trader kind of reminds me of my character trooper in the stories i have on here. Keep writing. I am looking forward to reading some more.

Lol.:rainbowlaugh: I just had to laugh at that last part.:eeyup:

Eh, sooner or later Spitfire will realize what exactly she have lost out on. Maybe would make for interesting twist on this story if Spitfire chose to pursue the true happiness (Trader).

Well... It's been a while since the last chapter (Does anyone even care?)

There's just been a large block and lack of enthusiasm and such... Then I suddenly got the urge to make this one up and hopefully I'll be able to keep making more.

Not really sure why, but I've always thought of Applejack like this. Just to, every once in a while, she just gets completely smashed. Maybe it's because of the whole, sleep-deprived Applejack episode back in season 1 but... Iono.

Then again, I also like to think that Rarity would get like that at times too. Though, she'd drink tons of wine. Then maybe she'd upset and beat Sweetie Belle or something... but that's a fanfic for another time...

Interesting chapter.....
Yes, your fans are still here XD
Only thing I caught-

Apple cellar, huh?”
^missing quotation mark.

.....don't de-wing him....... :pinkiesad2:

o.O? Let's see what happens next! And why do Soarin' knows about Trader hmm

I guess the biggest problem with the chapter is how little I really know of Equestria's economy. I mean really, what's a bit worth to them?

One of the few episodes where their money is used is in the Fluttershy/IronWill episode. She buys a tomato for like, one bit, but then buys a large bundle of vegetables for like two bits I think... In the Gala Episode, doesn't Applejack sell Soarin' an entire pie for only two bits? So yeah... it's really weird... :derpytongue2:

Also, yes, I really do think that the Apple family would be those types of people who don't trust banks. You know, they'd keep all of their money buried in the backyard or under their mattress. :applejackconfused:

2767043 I feel sorry for that astronaut.

2766766 Yeah, I think that about the Apple family too.

2766766 I look at their economy as like the 1930's American economy... Or more like the 50's, in a way. Things were a lot cheaper (damn inflation/stagflation) back then, a dollar went farther than it does now. Plus the economy was doing well, people were spending more and more on luxury items, and more and more families became middle class.

Hmmm wonder whos 3rd and 4th?

You know, you'd think it'd be every stallion's dream to spend their days being worked over by two mares. :ajsmug: :rainbowkiss: Sadly, it's not what you'd think means. :derpytongue2:

And that last line... just ignore... that one... :moustache:

i would happily work my flank and wings off for the attention he is getting.

and i agree with Mobytums.... Impossible:rainbowdetermined2:

Can't wait for the next chapter! :rainbowkiss:

First update in a while, I know. Anyone who saw the blog post will know about it. Big sorries all around. Hopefully I can keep a steady update so it doesn't go stagnant again.

On topic though, I kind of hope Rainbow Dash never tries to train Scootaloo...

Now i can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter.
Great chapter:twilightsmile:

Oh NO! WAT ABOUT APPULACK? BDEBDHJEBHJ! AAA! :raritydespair::raritydespair::raritycry: YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!

I'm eagerly awaiting the fighting between Dash and AJ in this love triangle.

Wow this is literally the first story I've ever seen to write the Cloudsdale jocks as generally okay guys and not complete assholes. You practically deserve a ribbon for being the first person to do that.

Now just wait for my prequel story! With Stormchase and Rainbow Dash called, "Chasing Rainbows" :rainbowderp:

Okay... no. I'm only kidding. That sounds waaaay too cheesy. Then again... :ajbemused:

I'd read the shit out of it twice. And then I'd downvote just so I could upvote it again.

A bit of jumping about in this chapter, with not much happening either... :unsuresweetie:

It's more of a pacing thing, with how I'd want a chapter to end or begin in some parts. The next few should be rife with goodies. :trixieshiftright:

There are alot of ponys and ppl who drool in their sleep I'm realiseing
