Sometimes when they go through the bad times, they blame themselves when it’s not their fault. Other times, they blame others when it’s their fault. Life is full of unexpected surprises and depending on each person’s point of view, it can either benefit them and everyone around them, or harm them, whether it’s physical or mental. But in cases such as your own, they’re more mental than anything else. One day, your life changed for the better for you and your parents when you got to see your baby sister when you were 8 years old. Her name was Daisy. She always looked up to you and kept saying you were the best big brother she could ever ask for. Your mom and dad loved her very much and would have a habit of spoiling your sister rotten. They loved you, too, but considering that your sister still needed to be taken care of, they hardly had time to spend with you. At one time, during your 10th birthday, Daisy bought you probably one of the best birthday presents in the world: A locket with her picture in it. A present that valuable was reward with a hug, which she accepted. You even got her the same present for her birthday a year later. It was tough to be noticed by them, but you understood why. It seemed like your life was going so well, but then tragedy struck when your sister got extremely sick when she was 6. It got even worse when the doctors said that Daisy was diagnosed with leukemia. In short, your sister wasn’t going to live much longer. Daisy surprisingly didn’t seem to upset about it and just embraced her last few moments she spent with her parents and you. She even wanted your mom and dad to stop neglecting to pay attention to you and start giving you some time to spend together. Two years after her diagnosis, Daisy held your hand and your parents hands and said her last words, which choked you all up: “Goodbye, mommy and daddy. And you too, brother. I’ll see you in my new home. Please get along for me, please?” And after that, your beloved sister closed her eyes for good with a single tear leaving her eyes. You kissed your sister on the cheek and said goodbye to her and prayed you’ll see her one day in the afterlife. 3 years went by after Daisy’s death. Since then, your mom and dad lost sight of what was truly important to them. Your dad became an abusive drunk and your mom divorced him and took custody over you back when you were a teenager, but she kicked you to the curb after you turned 18 years old. Neither her, nor your dad attended your graduation, so you had to walk to this apartment complex where you rented a room for only $200 a month. But you moved out a year later. Right now, you looked up at the sky with a tired sigh, resting up underneath the shade of a tree in the middle of the park. You thought about the hardships that you’ve gone through these last few years. For a while, you had a job at the cinema, unfortunately, you quit after the manager threw a hissy fit over you taking a few extra minutes off during your lunch break. You told him you were fed up with his bulllshit and shouted “I quit!” right in his face. Even after you quit your job, you refused to move back with your parents, since you knew they would just go on and on lecturing you as if you were still a child. In fact, it was when you came of age that you decided to move out. Now you lived in a small apartment, doing whatever you could to cut off any ties from your so-called parents. All they did nowadays was scold you if you even did the slightest thing wrong. What you said to them really showed them what they had coming to them. You told them that they messed up when they went against their daughter’s wish. Your sister’s wish. Naturally, you had to provide for yourself since you wanted nothing to do with your parents. The money that you’ve made from your last job at the cinema would only last so long, so you figured you might as well look for a new job. You decided you’ve been laying around long enough, you got up and popped your back before making your way to the sidewalk and walked down the path. You looked at each passing building around you and shook your head at the ones you felt either wouldn’t pay well or the owners were probably assholes. But then, something bounced off your foot. You looked down and noticed a soccer ball and a little boy running up to it. He grabs it and looks up at you with a big smile. “Thanks for getting my ball, mister,” he said, happily. Anytime you see happy children like this little boy, it always puts a smile on your face when you know at least some people don’t have it all bad. You smiled down at the boy and gave him a thumbs up. He laughed and ran back over to his mom and dad. But then, the boy accidentally kicked his soccer ball onto the busy road and ran out to get it. The parents panicked and ran out to get him. Your instincts kicked in when you saw a speeding car coming by. You ran out into the street. “KID, WATCH OUT!!!” you shouted. The boy gasped as the car was coming to a screeching halt, but because of how fast it was going, you were only able to make it in time to throw the boy out of the car’s way. Next thing you knew was the car hitting you and you let out a loud shout of pain and landed 32 feet away from the car. Screams echoed throughout the town and everyone on the road stopped and got out of their cars to check up on you. The only thing you heard someone say was “Someone call an ambulance, now!” But it was too late. You closed your eyes and felt the pain slip away. That could only mean one thing: you’ve just passed away. As painful as it was, it might not be so bad. At least by now, you can finally reunite with you ever-loving little sister. As you drifted through the darkness, feeling weightless and light as a feather, you become blinded by a single bright light above you. You thought this was the gateway to heaven, so you floated upwards and reached out to touch the light. You prepared yourself for the moment when you’d finally get to see your precious little sister once again. Its warm rays blinded you more intensely. But then, your body soon felt heavy after heading towards the light. Then, everything went black. When you woke up, your head was spinning and aching and noticed that you weren’t in the city anymore, but in some kind of apple orchard. At first glance, you thought these apple trees grew on their own, but when you picked one of them, they looked as though they were grown by someone else. “Hmm, maybe I should just leave the apple here,” you said to yourself. You looked down and noticed a basket that was set under the tree. You placed the apple in the basket and thought to yourself how you got here. ‘Hmm, I just don’t get it. How can I still be alive? I felt the impact of the car when it hit me, so how exactly can I still be breathing?’ Your thoughts were interrupted when suddenly... “Hey! You there!” shouted a female voice with a country accent. You jumped a bit, but then felt yourself get wrapped up in something tight. You grunted and looked down and noticed a rope wrapped around your upper body. “W-What the!?” you exclaimed. “Jus’ what in the hay are ya doin’ stealin’ our apples like that!?” You slowly turned around and almost panicked when you saw a humanoid horse with big emerald eyes, light orange fur and blonde mane. She wore a stetson hat, along with tight blue jean shorts and a brown plaid shirt that barely managed to cover her incredible bust size. “I... I wasn’t trying to steal anything! I’m sorry!” you grunted. Unfortunately she didn’t listen and tightened the rope around you. “I swear, I’m not trying to steal your apples, I’m telling you the truth, miss!” After a moment of silence passed, the mare finally decided to loosen her rope a little bit, however the cold glare still remained on her face. Evidently, she didn’t trust you enough to release your binds completely yet. You thought she was gonna resume telling you off for eating her apples without permission, but before she had the chance, another country-style voice called out to her. “Big sis! What in tarnation are ya doin’?” You looked over and saw another anthro horse running toward your direction. This one appeared to be quite young and had yellow fur, as well as a red mane. As for clothing, she wore a green short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans identical to those of the mare who just tied you up. She also wore a cute bow in her mane and had these big, beautiful eyes that were colored red and yellow. “Jus’ caught this feller here pickin’ some o’ our apples without askin’, Apple Bloom,” The one called Apple Bloom apparently found this amusing as she covered her mouth to suppress her chuckles. “Did he apologize, AJ?” she asked as she ceased her laughter. “Uh, well... yeah, he did.” “In that case, why don’ we let em go before ya puncture a lung?” Apple Bloom suggested, flashing you a friendly smile. Once again due to your fondness of children, you couldn’t stop yourself from returning the warm expression. AJ sighed and loosened the grip on the rope and allowed you to move freely. You immediately collapsed to your hands and knees, panting heavily and coughed up a little bit. The orange mare had proven herself to be quite strong from how tightly she held you in her rope. You looked at the orange mare and gave her a small glare. “First I deal with a former boss at my old work who doesn’t know when to chill out, now I’m getting assaulted by some random... uh... what exactly are you?” you asked as your anger was replaced by curiosity. “Oh right, sorry fer not introducin’ mahself an’ for not listenin’ to you,” she replied. “Name’s Applejack, sugarcube. Ah’m one o’ the proud owners o’ Sweet Apple Acres an’ this here is mah little sister, Apple Bloom,” she said. Looking at the filly who was still smiling at you, you once again felt your anger melt away. Letting out a deep breath, you remembered your manners and introduced yourself to the two ponies. After introductions were over and done with, Applejack said something that unexpectedly peaked your curiosity. “Hard to believe that another human would end up bein’ pulled into Equestria,” she sighed and took her stetson off. Was she pitying you? “Wait, what do you mean “another human?” Are you telling me that there are more humans around here?” you asked, as the fact that you’ve been pulled into a different universe was quite a bit to process. “The thing is, partner. Only one other human exists in our town, but right now, he’s up in the capital city o’ Canterlot, discussin’ the arrangements fer his and mah friend, Twilight’s weddin’,” Applejack explained. You look away from the orange mare to give into your habit of staring at the sky. On one hand, there is a chance that your boring life was about to become much more interesting. On the other hand, there’s still the chance that the locals of this town might not take a liking to you since you were still a stranger in their land. “Hey, what’s that thing around yer neck?” Apple Bloom asked, getting your attention. You looked down and saw her gesturing to your locket. “It was a birthday gift… a very special birthday gift from someone very I love very much,” you replied vaguely, looking at her with a warm smile. “Awww, that’s so nice. Where are they now? Uh, back at yer home, Ah mean,” she asked, her curiosity peaking. But it was that particular question that you just couldn’t find it in your heart to tell her who gave you the locket, so instead, you just closed your eyes and then shook your head slowly. “Ah don’t think you should ask him anymore questions. Probably best to leave the fella alone, okay, sugarcube?” Applejack asked her sister. “Oh alright, but can we let ‘im stay with us?” Apple Bloom asked. Applejack thought long and hard about it and looked at you and then back at her sister. You looked up at the sky after you got tired of staring at the darkness through your closed eyes. But then, Applejack stopped keeping quiet and let her clear conscience do the talking. “Listen sugarcube, it’s clear dat y’all got nowhere to stay so...” Applejack paused, giving her excited little sister the chance to finish for her. “How would ya like to spend a night back at our barn?” the young filly asked. Even though you had kept your eyes on the clear, blue sky, you had heard them perfectly and gave it some thought. It was true you had nowhere else to go and you doubt that if you turned down the offer, you would get invited by someone else. “I don’t see much of a reason to protest. You’re much easier to be around than my own blasted parents,” you said with a shrug and stopped staring at the sky. With a smile, Applejack held her hand out, offering to help you stand. You reached out and grabbed her hand and felt her help you up on your feet. Whatever anger you had felt for the mare, had by this point left your system. “Ya still hungry partner?” she asked. A light blush spread on your face from the question. “A little bit. After that accident, I’m so starved, I could probably eat a bear,” you replied. But you only made Applejack and Apple Bloom gasp, as they obviously took it literally. “It was just a figure of speech,” you said with a roll of your eyes. “Still, don’t say stuff like that! Ponies here are all herbivores,” Apple Bloom said with a slight glare. “Anyway,” Applejack began a moment of awkward silence. “It’s obvious that one apple wasn’t enough ta fill ya up, sugarcube. Lucky fer y’all, Granny Smith should be jus’ about done with dinner.” True to what Applejack said, you could pick up a faint, but pleasant scent that was coming from the nearby barn. Your stomach immediately reacted to the smell by letting out a loud growl, which amused the Apple sisters. “Ah’ll take that as a yes,” Applejack chuckled before she grabbed your hand and pulled you to the direction of the barn. The delicious smell of course, only grew stronger as you were drawn closer and closer to the source. Upon walking into the kitchen, you smiled as you looked at the marvelous display of food that was being cooked by an elderly pony. No doubt this was Granny Smith, who lived up to her name because of her light green coat. She had yet to realize that Applejack and Apple Bloom have come home, bringing you with them. “We’re home granny,” Applejack finally decided to get the distracted mare’s attention and Granny Smith immediately stopped what she was doing. “Well ain’t that convenient, dinner is jus’ about-” she stopped as she laid eyes on your unfamiliar face. “And jus’ who is this dear?” she asked. Before you had the chance to introduce yourself, someone else walked out of the kitchen. It was a stallion with red fur and messy orange mane. He had green eyes and wore blue jean overalls that covered up most of his built-up muscular body. His expression displayed just as much curiosity as mine did the moment we our eyes met. “Everythin’ will be explained over dinner, granny,” Applejack assured as she got between you and the red stallion. You lost interest in him as you went along with Applejack’s idea to go ahead and get something to eat. It was quite a sight, as practically everything on the plates was made with apples. You wondered if Granny Smith actually does the cooking on her own. However first, you needed to show some manners and introduce yourself to everyone. “Ah, nice ta meet ya, youngen. As ya probably figured out, ah’m Granny Smith,” she said before gesturing to the stallion. “An’ this here is Big Macintosh.” “Eeyup,” he replied simply. It was clear that he wasn’t much into talking, which was fine by you. “It’s nice to meet you all,” you said with a smile before your stomach began to growl again. “I guess going 6 and a half hours of not eating finally got to me.” You felt Applejack pat your back sympathetically. “Well, ya got yerself a spread here to fuel up. However if y’all want to stay here, ya will need to earn yer keep. So tomorrow, yer gonna help us harvestin’ the apples to sell to the Ponyville farmers market.” It was quite sudden how you’ve just received a new job without asking. You should have known there would be some kind of catch to getting able to stay on the farm. “Well what do ya say? Sounds fair, right sugarcube?” she asked. It only seemed fair. If you’re gonna eat big, you gotta work hard, so you nodded in agreement. “Yeah. I’ll make sure I don’t slow you down. I’ll work as hard as I can,” you assured them. “It’s the least I can do for letting me stay here.” “That’s the spirit there, sugarcube!” Applejack said, patting you a little hard on the back. “Now let’s get back to eatin’. Ah’m feelin’ mighty hungry right now!” With that, you took another bite out of the apple fritters before moving on to the salad. “Take yer time dear, ah made plenty,” Granny Smith said with a short laugh. “My apologies. It’s just been a long time since I had a meal this good,” you replied after gulping down the food you had in your mouth. As you finished the remains of your food, this time you remembered your manners. “Well, that’s mighty sweet of ya, deary. Ah’ve gotta make sure mah youngens here have had their dog gone bellies filled before an’ after work,” Granny Smith said. Once it came down to dessert, you licked your lips as you looked at the apple pie. Taking in the smell of the warm piece on your plate, this was probably the last thing you’d be able to eat for the night. “One quick question, if I may,” you said. “Yes? Somethin’ on yer mind?” Granny Smith asked. “I can tell that you’ve got a successful business in selling apples, but I just want know: Are you guys understaffed at the moment?” “Eeyup,” Big Mac replied. “We’ve always been understaffed, partner. We’ve got other Apple families, but they have their own farms to work on. On top o’ that, we’re on a very tight budget ‘cause o’ all the repairs on the house an’ the bills. Just earlier last month, mah family an’ ah barely managed to make enough bits thanks to the cider season,” Applejack explained. You took in the information, figuring you might as well know about the farm’s difficult work if you’re going to be helping out. Though something tells you, things won’t be nearly the same as your last job. After dinner had finally ended, Applejack decided to lead you to the barn where you would be sleeping. The Apples had already provided you with some spare but fresh clean clothes as well as a spare toothbrush. “Sorry if this is disappointin’ to ya, sugarcube,” she said opening the barn doors. “But this is all we’ve got fer ya to sleep in.” “It’s alright, I think I can manage with the barn,” you replied, looking at the inside. “This isn’t too bad. The barn feels nice and warm, plus it’s got lots of hay bails and a nice view of the night sky,” you said looking at the positive side. “Ya might as well get plenty o’ sleep. Tomorrow, we start bright an’ early at 5:00 A.M. Ya understand, partner?” she asked, to which you nodded. “Then ah’ll see ya in the mornin’. Good night, sugarcube.” “Good night, Applejack,” you said, watching as she closed the door. Walking over to one of the bails of hay, you climbed onto it, took your shirt off and grabbed the warm blanket and covered yourself before you laid your head down on your pillow. Looking at the night sky from the opening at the side the barn, you felt a sense of peace as well as a bit of sadness. While, the Apple family was nice and considerate, not to mention hard workers, you couldn’t help but think about your past life when you shared the laughs with your family and your little sister, Daisy. Her beautiful, warm smile was more than enough to make anyone feel better. It left a huge impact on you saw her smile while on her deathbed. She was practically your whole world. To lose her felt like a part of you died along with her. You loved your sister so much and wished that leukemia would have just stayed away from Daisy. The only thing you can do now is keep moving forward... for both her sake and your own. With the new life you’ve been given in this little town, you’re not gonna let it be for naught, especially for a family as kind and honest as the Apple family. > A Darin' Rescue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You experienced for the first time how a farmer wakes up as you heard the loud cry from one of the roosters. It was a good thing no one was around to see you as you fell off the hay bail. You picked yourself up and dusted off your clothes before heading into the house. As you walked inside, you noticed Apple Bloom walking downstairs, stretching her arms out and yawning adorably like she had just woken up. She almost looked exactly like how your adorable sister looked when she got out of bed. Except with Apple Bloom, she doesn’t have a pillow head. “Good morning, Apple Bloom. Did you sleep well?” you asked, to which the young filly nodded. “Ah can tell ya slept pretty good, too. Ya woke up at the right time, breakfast will be ready real soon,” she said with a smile that was almost too cute for you to handle. Judging from the large number of trees on the farm, the Apple family must be very hard workers. If you’re going to be working with them, a good breakfast was definitely in order. As tough as it was to do hard labor, you were willing to work in a diligent manner to repay the family for giving you a place to stay. Walking into the kitchen, you took in the delicious smell of French toast with slices of apple pie and some delicious milk to wash it all down. Of course you saw that it Granny Smith was the one who was preparing it all. “Mornin’ deary. Did ya wash yer hands?” Granny Smith asked. Having good manners, you went over to the nearby bathroom to do as she had requested. By the time you came back into the kitchen, you saw that Applejack had come downstairs as well. “Howdy sugarcube,” she said sweetly as you took a seat next to her. “Y’all better get yer fill, cause work today is gonna be busy.” “I will. Thank you for the meal, Granny Smith,” you replied before you started eating. Remembering what Applejack said yesterday, she needs help harvesting the apples so she could then sell them at the town’s market. This would honestly be your first time doing any farm work, but even if it gets rough, the Apple family is gonna be a much better help to you. With that in mind, you returned your focus to your breakfast, marveling the unique taste of the french toast. “Take yer time sugarcube,” she chuckled “We still got have an hour before gettin’ to work. Jus’ a lil’ fair warnin’, don’ eat so fast or you’ll make yer stomach burst.” You took one look at AJ and nodded before putting on the brakes on your eating. The last thing that you wanted to happen was to end up vomiting on the job. Such an incident would be humiliating to both you and the Apples. After you finished breakfast and helped Granny Smith with the dishes, it was time to head out with the Apple siblings into the orchard and began harvesting apples. First, you watched Applejack and Big Mac as they both kicked the apple trees one by one and caused them all to drop the apples into the baskets. You attempted to do as they did, but all that did was make your leg hurt and only caused one apple to fall... on your head. Of course, it didn’t hurt too much to get the job done any faster. You tried tackling the trees, but that didn’t do any good and only made your shoulder hurt. That and another apple fell, but this time, it fell in the basket. This turned out to be a lot harder than it looked. Nonetheless, you still weren’t about to give up and decided to climb up onto the branches and handpick the apples from the branches and even shake them off of the branches and into the baskets. Your little trick was actually starting to work and even Applejack and Big Mac were impressed by your creative way to get the apples out of the trees. Once the tree you were in was out of apples, you got down and immediately moved on to the next one. As you began to climb, you noticed that this tree had a few apples that didn’t look good for eating. You decided to hold off on shaking this tree and just hand pick the apples. While picking apples, one of the branches snapped and you accidentally fell to the ground with an audible thud. Shaking off the pain, you stood up and dusted the dirt and grass from your pants and were about to climb up until Applejack came to check up on you. “Y’all alright sugarcube?” she asked placing a hand on your shoulder concerned. “Yeah, I just fell, that’s all. Though it’d probably be safer if I picked apples from a thicker branch,” you chuckled after shaking off the pain completely. Once the ache in your back was gone, you attempted to climb the tree again. However, Applejack stopped you for a moment. “Hold on there, sugarcube. How ‘bout ya grab a stool an’ just pick them apples by hand. If ya ain’t careful, y’all could fall on yer head,” she suggested. “...Yeah, I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry,” you agreed after considering Applejack’s advice for a moment. You allowed the cowpony to lead you to the barn. Inside, you and Applejack took out a stool that was tall enough for you to reach the apples. It was two steps up and had handlebars to hold onto, just the right size for finishing your task. Bringing the stool out and setting it beside the tree you had yet to start on, you thanked Applejack and got back to work. Once again handpicking the apples from the tree, you were careful not to lose your balance and fall over again. You learned from your last mistake and without falling even once, you picked three more apple trees within a few hours. Looking down at the last apple you had pulled out as you held it in your hand, you wiped the sweat from your forehead. “Alright hun, it’s time for a lunch break,” you heard Applejack say. Time sure flies by when you’re working outdoors, and you’ve worked up quite an appetite the last couple of hours. Licking your lips at the thought of more of Granny Smith’s food, you allowed Applejack to guide you back into the house. Big Mac and Apple Bloom had caught up to the two of you and were now following close behind. “Come ‘n get it, youngins! Lunch is served,” Granny Smith called out. Once inside, you caught the smell of the delicious food Granny Smith has prepared for you and her grandkids. Looking at the table, you saw plates of caramel apples, apple fritters and a salad to boost up energy. “The food looks delicious, Granny Smith. Thank you,” you said with a grateful smile. “It was mah pleasure, deary. Now go on up an’ git yerselves all cleaned up. Y’all can eat after ya wash up,” she said. You did as you were told and went upstairs to the bathroom. You proceeded to wash your hands and your face. You dried yourself off and headed out of the bathroom and let the apple siblings wash up. With all the dirt and sweat cleaned off of your hands, you made your way to the dining table and sat down, but chose to wait for the others. To no surprise, it wasn’t long before the Apples returned to the kitchen. “Well it seems we’re all ready to eat! Ah’ve got a hankerin’ fer a nice big meal!” Applejack said, rubbing her stomach. She and her other siblings sat down alongside Granny Smith. Once we were given permission, we all grabbed a plate each and served ourselves some lunch. It was no surprise Big Mac and Applejack finished their lunches faster. “Mighty thanks fer the tasty lunch, Granny,” AJ said, patting her stomach. You felt the urge to chuckle from how cute she was when she did that. “Eeyup,” Big Mac added. You decided to start a conversation, wondering if you would be doing the same kind of work tomorrow. Not that you were complaining about picking apples, it’s just now occurring to you that maybe there are some other jobs on the farm to take care of. Maybe there’s a couple of farm animals to feed, or some seeds that need to be planted out in the fields as well as plowed. “Somepony is eager, ain’t he?” Applejack chuckles before she playfully nudges you. “Well you’ve got me on that,” you admitted before joining in on the laughter. “Plus you guys treat me a whole lot better than how I was treated in my last job. I never even experienced how great a homemade meal felt in such a long time. To me, that’s more rewarding than all the money in the world,” you said before finishing your meal. “That’s mighty kind of ya to tell us, sugarcube. They say anypony who pours their heart ‘n soul into their hard work, they’re rewarded with somethin’ more valuable than all the bits in the world. It does me an’ mah family good to know yer enjoyin’ yer first day workin’ at Sweet Apple Acres,” Applejack said, patting your shoulder. “We may not be the richest ponies in all o’ Ponyville, but we’re all still proud o’ how we can provide our apples to all o’ the hungry ponies,” Granny Smith added. “Eeyup,” Big Mac agreed as simply as ever. Since you got done with your lunch during your little conversation with the Apple family, you made yourself more useful by bringing your plate and fork to the sink and washed your own dishes before getting back to work. After washing your dishes and putting them away, you followed Applejack outside where she leads you to the pig pen. “Think ya got what it takes to feed them there piggies?” she asked. “Sure, I can do it,” you replied, nodding your head. “Good, take this here bucket o’ scraps and poor it in that there bin,” she points to the wide bin on the other side of the pen where the pigs were sleeping. “After that, you can help Big Mac plant some seeds an’ plow the fields. We gotta be ready fer the next cider season. Ah promised mah friend Rainbow Dash she’d get a special pass to be first in line to have some of our apple cider.” “Rainbow Dash? Apple cider?” “Oh that’s right, ah didn’t tell ya did Ah, sugarcube? She’s a pegasus who’s a member o’ the Wonderbolts an’ she loves apple cider. If yer ever in a tight jam, she’s there fer her friends through thick an’ thin. It ain’t no surprise since she’s the Element o’ Loyalty. She’s one o’ mah ver’ closest friends... an’ best rival.” “So, you and this Rainbow Dash have been friends and rivals for... how long?” “Let’s just say we’ve competed against each other fer a long time now. Ah’ll tell ya more later on after work, but fer now, them pigs aren’t gonna feed themselves,” she said, opening the gate. You nod and take the bucket of scraps with you into the pen. AJ closes the gate and heads back to the apple orchard. The pigs snorted and sniffed at the bucket in your hands, taking in the scent of their grub. You poured the scraps in the bin from left to right and stood back and watched the pigs scarf their lunch down. You walked back to the gate and exited the pig pen. You closed the gate and headed out towards the fields. Big Mac had a couple of bags of seeds in each of his hands. “Big Mac!” you called out. Hearing your voice, the red stallion looks your way and waves for you to come over and help him out. You quickened your pace and were handed one of the bags of seeds. “Follow me, partner,” Big Mac said cocking his head to the side. You walked with him up and down the fields, planting the seeds in a straight, vertical line. Big Mac plowed parts of the fields he forgot to plow before he proceeded to plant the seeds he had. Once all the seeds were planted, it was time to water them. Like you told them before, you weren’t usually the kind to do farming, but you were willing to work hard to repay them for their hospitality. Besides, planting and watering a few seeds wasn’t too hard. It took a couple of hours for the seeds to be planted and watered, but all that hard work finally paid off and the day was coming to a close. It was now time to regroup with the others and head back inside for a nice tasty. However, when you saw Applejack, she looked worried for some reason. “AJ, what’s wrong?” you asked. “LOOK!” she shouted in panic, pointing at the house. You looked and felt your heart skip a beat. There was... smoke and fire coming from out of the doors and windows. “Holy shit, how... how did this happen?!” you asked. “Ah have no idea, but we gotta find a way to put out the fire!” AJ said. “Somepony! Anypony! HELP!!!” Apple Bloom screamed from the 2nd floor. At that moment, your fight or flight instinct kicked in. In a swift motion, you ran into the burning house without a second thought. You bolted up the stairs, holding your breath so you wouldn’t inhale the smoke coming from the flames. You went for the first door on your left and tried opening it, but the doorknob was too hot. “No pain no gain...” you said to yourself. Gripping the knob tightly, you bite down on your lip hard enough to draw blood as you try to ignore the heat. You managed to twist it as hard as you could and pushed the door open. Inside, you see Apple Bloom looking at you, frightened by the roaring flames that reached her room. She ran up to you and hugged you tightly. “Get me outta here, please!” she cried into your shirt. You patted her head to comfort her. With her safe in your arms you were about to head downstairs, but then the ceiling collapsed in front of you, blocking your way out. Apple Bloom held onto you tighter, more frightened than how she felt before. “We’ll have to use a different exit! Stay close!” You said, running back into her burning bedroom. You locked your eyes on the window and prepared yourself for a long sprint. “On the count of three, I’m gonna break through the window and you’ll use my body as a cushion, okay?” “O-Okay, but hurry...” the poor filly paused as she let out a nasty cough “...I can’t breathe...” she finishes weakly. “Alright, here we go! One! Two! ….THREE!!!” You shouted. And just like that, you grabbed Apple Bloom and ran up to the window. At the last minute, you used your shoulder blade to break through before turning around and wrapped Apple Bloom tightly in your arms. She buried her face into your chest, muffling her screams. You land hard on the ground, back first. You grunted in pain and looked down to see if Apple Bloom was alright. She looks at you with a surprised and scared expression. “Are you alright, Apple Bloom?” Still in shock, she could only manage to nod slowly. You sighed in relief and hugged Apple Bloom, thankful that she’s safe and sound. “Apple Bloom!” Applejack called out, running towards you and her. Apple Bloom struggled to pick herself up and waved at her sister. Applejack kneeled down and gave her little sister a big hug, sobbing quietly. “Ah thought Ah lost ya, Apple Bloom!” “He... He saved me, sis... He saved mah life,” Apple Bloom said, weakly. Applejack looked at you with a surprised expression, but it changed into worry when you coughed out smoke violently. “Hey, are ya alright?! J-Just take it easy! Big Mac, get him to the hospital an’ hurry!” AJ said in a bit of a panic. “E-Eeyup,” Big Mac said frantically. Although, he not only carried you, but Apple Bloom as well. Making sure you were secure, he wasted no more time in hauling you both off to the hospital. It was to keep your eyes open and eventually you passed out. Nothing else filled your vision but darkness. Opening up your eyes, you immediately avert your gaze when you saw the bright light up on the ceiling. You looked to your left to see the beeping monitor on your left. You turned and noticed you were strapped to an I.V. You groaned and placed your hand on your head. “What happened?” you asked, feeling a little dizzy. “You’ve lost consciousness before you reached the hospital,” said a female voice. You looked to your right and saw a pure white mare with baby blue eyes and a pink mane that was made into a bun. “Oh, hello. Who might you be?” you asked politely, despite the discomfort you felt. “My name is Nurse Red Heart. I’m the one who has been assigned to take care of you until you’re ready to be discharged. I heard about how you rescued that little filly from the farm house. Quite a brave thing to do. Most ponies wouldn’t have done what you just did,” she praised. “I… I did what I could,” you said, weakly. “W-Where’s Apple Bloom? Is she alright?” You frantically looked around for any signs of the apple filly. “Ya don’t have to worry ‘bout it, sugarcube,” said Applejack’s voice. Your eyes darted at the doorway where she stood. “The lil filly’s in the room next to yours restin’ up. Earlier, she couldn’t stop askin’ if you were alright. She’s very grateful ‘bout how ya saved her from the fire.” “Oh, thank goodness. I was worried she might have inhaled too much smoke,” you said as a huge stone fell off your heart. “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if she didn’t make it.” Nurse Red Heart looked over at Applejack. “Nice to see you again, Applejack,” she said, then turning her attention back at you. “I’ll give you two some privacy.” And so, she walked out of the hospital bedroom and allowed you and Applejack to talk in private. “If anythin’ sugarcube, mah family and Ah are in yer debt. Ah’m very grateful fer what ya did to save Apple Bloom,” AJ said. “I don’t get it, how did the fire start? It was fine at first, but now...” you said, your voice still as weak as before. “Turns out that Granny Smith left her cookin’ apron on the stove while she left to go freshen up. It must’ve gotten burnt by the stove flames and spreaded all over the house. It’s all burnt to a crisp, so it’s gonna take a while before we get it repaired,” Applejack explained. “I... I’m sorry to hear that,” you said, looking as if you failed her. The orange mare however smiled and walked on over to you and started comforting you. She began rubbing your shoulder and even stroking your hair. “Hey, no worries. At least we all made it out alive an’ that’s all that matters,” she said. Suddenly, she stopped stroking your hair and just left her hand on your head. “Yeah, I guess you’re right,” you say as you reach for the inside of your shirt and pull out a locket you have with a picture of your little sister. “Applejack, maybe it’s time I told you about who this girl is in my locket.” you opened it up and showed the picture to AJ. “Ya sure yer comfortable with this sugarcube?” she asks. “Eeyup,” you nodded, mimicking her brother. She laughed a bit before you explain. “AJ, the girl in this picture… she’s my little sister, Daisy.” Applejack shared sympathy with your love for your sister, smiling warmly. “She was a walking ray of sunshine that I couldn’t stop loving. We stuck by each other through thick and thin, even when my parents were spoiling her. But then... tragedy couldn’t keep its filthy hands off of her. She ended up getting diagnosed with cancer when she was 6.” Applejack gasped and put a hand over her mouth. “Ya mean she’s...?” she asked, unable to finish her question, but you nodded anyways. “She died at the ripe young age of 8 years old. But even after she left us, she still had that angelic smile on her adorable face. Unfortunately, it was after her death that my parents started getting mad at me over every little thing I did wrong, even when I was doing something good. I couldn’t stand to be near them anymore. It felt like I don’t even know my own parents,” you said, staring up at the ceiling. “Ah’m mighty sorry to hear that, sugarcube...” she said. You can still tell that Applejack’s really sympathizing you, but then you see the tears flowing out of her eyes. You reached up with a smile and wiped them away. “It’s true that I miss her so much, but I know she wanted me to be happy and keep going, not just for her sake, but for my sake, too. So I moved on, but I had a lot of help from you and your family after you took me in,” you said still smiling at the orange mare beside you. The farmer pony blushed a bit and hid her face with her stetson. You weren’t sure if it was wrong to make her blush like that, but then you’re caught off-guard when she leans in and presses her lips onto yours. Now you were the one blushing. She locked her hand with yours and continued kissing you. You closed your eyes and decided to savor the kiss. Despite being a hardworking farmer, Applejack’s lips were quite soft. You started getting used to it and kissed her right back until she was ready to break for air. You stared at Applejack with a noticeable blush and vice versa. “A-Applejack, wha-?” you tried to ask, but she stops you. “Ah felt Ah needed to thank ya properly fer savin’ mah sister. Ya probably already know this, but yer like a hero to her. And she feels like yer the second big brother she’s always wanted,” she said. This made you feel both surprised and happy. To think that after all this time, you’ve actually been given a second chance at having another little sister. Even though she’s a pony, Apple Bloom does resemble similar traits to Daisy. As for Applejack... well... maybe one of these days you might actually bond with her in ways you never even considered at first... like as a couple. Besides, after that tender kiss she shared with you, how could you not like her? > Love In The Barnhouse > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 months have passed since the fire incident, and the construction of the house has finally been completed. With the funds that the Apple family made during cider season, it took little time to pay the construction workers for all of their hard work. Until then, you had to live with Applejack’s good friend Twilight Sparkle, who luckily had plenty of room in her castle. You were quite fond of both Twilight and her official human husband, Beau. Around the same time when you moved in with them, they ended up getting married the very next month. And much to your surprise, they were expecting a child: a baby girl to be precise. In a way, you were gonna be an uncle to your new niece. Every now and then, you also spent a guy’s night out with Beau, either eating out at a restaurant or having drinks, mostly it was him, since he was already 21. You, on the other hand, were almost turning 20. Therefore, according to the laws of Ponyville, which was the same as California’s law back at your old homeland, you had to be 21 to drink. Though you barely knew each other at the time, Twilight made sure you were invited to the wedding. Knowing you saved one of her best friends’ sister was more than enough of a reason to include you on their big and special day. Looking at Twilight’s relationship with Beau also made you curious about your future with Applejack. It began a month after Twilight and Beau got married that you found the courage to ask Applejack if she wanted to go out with you sometimes. After giving it a few days of thought, she agreed. The rest of the Apples approved of you going out with her. You were a bit scared at first, thinking what Big Mac might do to you after asking to go out with his little sister. He took it surprisingly well, rather than get protective of her. In fact, your spine almost gave in from the big hug you received from the bulky stallion. Maybe this is what it’s like to have a big brother figure. Resting underneath the shade of the tree as these memories played in your head, you failed to realize the playful figure who was approaching you. Next thing you knew, your face was pressing against something soft and squishy, followed by the sound of an all-too familiar voice. “Ya likin’ yer lil restin’ spot there, Bucky?” AJ asked. Of course it was hard to answer while she continued to press your face in between her bosom. As for her calling you Bucky, that was the nickname she gave you some time around last month during your relationship with her. “Uh, in a way, yes. But uh… is there any reason why you’re acting this way, AJ?” you asked, muffled through her bosom. She had been acting like for quite some time for about 4 days now. Every chance she got, she’d either rub your body in places like your abdomen or your crotch, or she’d brush past you, swaying her hips and brushing her tail against your side. “Mind speakin’ up a bit there, honey-pie? Ah couldn’t hear ya over mah breasts,” she chuckled, stroking your cheeks. It seemed like Applejack was really trying to push your buttons, but of course not in a bad way. Even so, you had to find out exactly why she’s acting this way. You took your face out of her breasts, gasping for air. “Uhh… could you excuse me for just a tiny bit, I gotta go get a drink of water,” you said. “Hurry back now. Don’t keep a gal waitin’,” she said, seductively. You chuckled nervously as you got up and ran back to the house. You went inside and bursted into the kitchen, grabbing a cup and filled it up with water. “Problem?” asked an elderly voice. You recognized it as Granny Smith’s voice and then turned around to face her. “What in tarnation is goin’ on there, sonny, ya get heat stroke?” “I... I guess I’m just a bit confused Granny Smith.” “About what?” “Well, it’s about AJ. She’s been acting strange for the past 4 days. Every chance she gets, she’s literally teasing me by brushing parts of her body against mine and shooting me those bedroom eyes of hers. You have any idea what’s going on?” Granny Smith chuckled slightly and patted me on the shoulder. “Sonny, ya have nothin’ to worry about, Applejack’s just goin’ through her heat cycle. This made you gulp as despite only being in this world for a couple of months, you were well aware of the heat cycle process. Mood swings are especially common for a mare going through the cycle. And considering that AJ is on day 4 of her heat cycle, it’ll only get more dangerous for you if she goes on day 5. Before, you never saw any reason to be afraid of Applejack, especially since you’ve grown fond of each other. Now it’s unexpectedly come down to having to mate with her, probably ending up getting her pregnant. But... the more you thought about it, you start to think it might not be such a bad idea. During Twilight’s and Beau’s wedding, Twilight was able to bare his child. Maybe the ponies here have a mixture of both animal and human DNA. If that’s the case, then maybe later on after the day is done, you’ll meet up with Applejack for a little “apple bucking” so to speak. The thought brought a blush to your cheeks which Granny Smith didn’t miss. “Ya know this doesn’t surprise me at all dear. After all, Applejack has been tellin’ me how she’s been wantin’ to express how much she appreciates everythin’ ya did for her an’ us,” she said, placing a hand on your shoulder. You looked out the window and saw Applejack was still waiting for you by the tree and noticed how she rubbed parts of her body in a sexual way. With a sigh, you walked out of the house and back at the apple orchard.   Applejack took notice as you returned and gave you the same expression as before. “Feelin’ refreshed sugarcube? Ah almost thought ya were gonna bail on me,” she chuckled before she noticed your serious expression. “Somethin’ wrong hon?” “Not exactly Applejack but I just had a talk with Granny Smith and she told me why you’re acting so... frisky. I know you’re going through your heat cycle but I was too thick-headed to realize it up until now. I know how excruciating it gets for you the longer you’re in heat. So, I was thinking that maybe later on tonight we could... get together for some private time?” It was AJ’s turn to blush not just that you have figured out her condition, but from what you were implying. She looked away, but you turned her to face you and gave her a warm smile and a passionate kiss. Her whole body tensed up from that single kiss and returned your affections by deepening the kiss and stroking your hair. By the time you broke the kiss, the two of you were gasping for air. Applejack looked into your eyes and stroked your cheek. “10 PM...” she panted still taking in some much needed oxygen. “Meet me... in the barn...” Later on, the day went by like normal. AJ had to struggle with her farm work due to her estrus cycle, but she still managed to get the job done. When it was time for dinner, Granny Smith cooked some baked potatoes with some grilled cheese sandwiches. And for a drink, you had some apple cider, probably the best drink you ever had. When dinner was over, you waited in the barn where you usually slept for AJ. It was 5 minutes ‘till 10 o’clock. The only light that shined inside the barn was a simple lantern and the light from the moon outside. You laid on top of the hay bail, looking at the moon which was full tonight. Tonight was gonna feel extra special when AJ gets here. You let out a sigh, not sure if you were completely ready for what would happen tonight. This was going to be your first time and from what you heard, the first time is always painful. You just hoped that you don’t disappoint Applejack. Speaking of which, you saw as the orange mare appears from behind the door and walk in, shutting it behind her as she walks up to you. A warm blush once again appeared on her freckled cheeks as she approached you. She was, in your eyes, the very definition of a beautiful young mare. “Applejack I want you to answer me honestly, do you actually want to do this?” you asked as you caressed her cheek. It’s one thing for a mare to be intimate just to relieve her heat cycle, but it’s completely different if it’s because.. she loves someone. “Bucky, Ah’ve never more sure of it than anythin’ else. Ah wouldn’t give mah virginity to anypony else except you. Yer honest, kind, hard-workin’, an’ ya treat me like a real mare. Ah would gladly give mah virginity to you an’ if Ah end up with a foal, Ah’ll gladly raise it with ya” It was a bit of a shock to learn that Applejack just like you had never had sex before, but for her to say she wanted to have a foal with you... now that was a REAL surprise. “Applejack...” you didn’t say anymore. Instead, you just placed your lips on hers, kissing her for the second time today. You felt her arms wrap around your neck as she kissed you back, tongue battling you for domination. As you finally pushed away, you moved until your forehead touched your lover’s. Not breaking contact, you reached up to remove her Stetson, gently dropping it to the floor. You then reached for her ponytailed mane and grabbed the elastic that held it together. You removed the band as gently as you removed her hat, setting her mane free. Pulling your head back so you could get a good look at her, you saw her completely different than you had a few seconds ago. AJ felt naked in front of you, despite only having her hair undone. Taking a deep breath in attempt to get over her embarrassment, Applejack reached for her shirt and unbuttoned it, allowing her large breasts to breathe and bounce freely from their clothed prison. You went off on a hunch and guessed in your head they were F-cup. Slowly, you reached up and grasped one of her breasts, making her shiver slightly. Smiling, knowing that she was enjoying your treatment, you locked lips with the farm mare again. Applejack wrapped her arms around you and reached down behind you. Applejack temporarily breaks the kiss in order to take your shirt off, exposing your chest. Due to all that work on the farm, you’ve earned yourself quite a bit of muscle. Observing your torso for a second, a smirk suddenly grew on your lover’s face. Without warning, AJ pushed you away and you let out a grunt as you land on the hay bail. Quickly recovering, you watched as AJ removed her jean shorts while keeping her sly expression. It was clear she was no longer embarrassed about showing her body to you. Taking in her now naked figure, it wasn’t long before you felt your pants tighten up. “Ya likin’ the view, hun? Ah can tell from that there bulge,” she points to your crotch. “Guilty, you’re just so beautiful right now,” you admitted. “Y-You really think so?” she asked as she once again became flustered. “In my eyes, you’re more beautiful than anything in the world,” you insisted with a warm smile. Approaching you, Applejack nuzzled you cheek-to-cheek before getting down to where your crotch was and unzipped your pants. Smirking again, she pulled your pants down and did the same with your boxer briefs. Getting a good look at your hard member, the orange mare’s eyes widened. “Bucky, has yer cock always been this big, or have Granny’s home cookin’ been improvin’ yer growth?” she joked, stroking your throbbing member. You shrugged, amused by the question. You wanted to answer, but as Applejack continued stroking your erection, you could only manage to moan. As you discovered before, she had a surprisingly soft touch despite being a diligent farmer. It only got better when AJ started licking the tip of your cock while stroking the base of your rod. You moaned even louder from the warm sensation of her mouth around your member. She began taking it to the back of her throat. “I... oh god! This feels so damn good! I thought you were a virgin!” you moaned in ecstasy. Still taking it in her mouth, AJ looks up at you amused before picking up the pace. Your legs twitched and your entire upper body tingled from the feeling of your cock being slurped and sucked on. You look and notice Applejack’s tail swishing left and right, followed by the smell of what seems to be her heat pheromones. However you knew that she was not doing this because of her cycle, but rather to show how much you mean to her. You clenched your fists, as you were reaching the limit from your marefriend’s skills. Your breathing was rapidly increasing, as was Applejack’s bobbing. “I-If blowjobs feel this great... then thank C-Celestia that you’re my f-first!” you managed to say without blowing your load. Applejack to your disappointment, lifted herself off your member to let out a few chuckles. Moving up to your eye level with a sultry expression, Applejack laid you down on the hay bail and positioned her dripping vulva over your face. “Now, how’s about ya give mah nethers a good lickin’? After all, it’s only fair to pleasure yer mare, lover boy,” she cooed as she wiggled her tush. Eyeing her dripping slit, you reached to caress her apple cutie marks, feeling the nice layer of muscle and fur on her thighs. “P-Please don’t t-tease me sugarcube...” Applejack moaned, unsatisfied with you simply massaging her. It was time to give your mare what she wants. Needless to say, that meant the licking she’s been dying to get. Applejack bit her finger, trying to suppress her moans as you gave her marehood a teasing lick. You swirled it around her pussy lips in circles and occasionally flicked her clit. To no surprise, you tasted the flavor of freshly picked apples as you ate Applejack out. “H-Holy... horse apples! Y-Ya got a skilled tongue there, s-sugarcube!” she moaned intensely. Feeling prideful because of her words, you moved back to her clit and lightly pinched the bud between your teeth. AJ surprisingly let out the cutest yelp your ears ever heard. “O-Oh yeah, sugarcube! B-Bring it to me!” she shrieked. ‘I’ve only just begun, so I’ll give you everything I’ve got,’ you thought to yourself. And so, you continued to drive her utterly insane by diving your tongue inside her love cave. If you could see Applejack’s face, you’d know she’s enjoying this a whole lot more than she bargained for. “And ya questioned me about being a virgin? A-Ah can feel yer tongue touch the deepest parts of m-mah pussy! Whoa nelly, that feels good!” she hollered, amusing you to no end. You continued to slurp up her delicious apple-flavored juices while caressing her her plump round ass, even smacking it a few times. Applejack continued to moan and started grinding her hips on your face. This made it easier to slurp up more of her juices from every nook and cranny inside her love cave. Sometimes, while in the middle of your oral sex, Applejack would squirt out small drops of her juices into your mouth. Despite that, she still kept going strong while still moaning like the mare in heat she was. You flicked her clit every time she let out small squirts of her juices straight into your mouth. “Nnngh! Sweet horse apples, Ah’m ‘bout to cum! Slurp me up, ya doggone, sexy, hairless ape!” she shrieked. You did as you were told, giving it your all, using every tactic you could to get her to spray the big one inside of your mouth. With a mixture of humming, clit-flicking and slurping up as much of her love tunnel juices, this ultimately pushes over the edge. Next thing you know, a gush of her delicious apple love juices sprayed all over your entire face. Of course, you drank as much as you could in big gulps to avoid choking. Applejack’s loud shrieking and moaning was music to your ears. After your mare ran on empty, she slumped forward, breathing heavily. “You okay?” you asked. She picked herself up and turned to lay down next to you, circling her fingers on your chest. “Am Ah okay? Sugarcube... you have... no idea... how amazin’ that felt,” she panted. “Ya went an’ made me cum hard, but now...” she leaned next to your ear “...Ah’m gonna make sure Ah milk you dry.” You smirked. “I got just the thing to start off the main event,” you said. You got off the hay bail and took AJ by the hand. You guided her to a wooden post and pinned her. “You feeling like doing it doggy-style... sugarcube?” you asked, teasingly. Applejack chuckled, seeing as you were trying to mimic her. “Ah got four words fer ya, hun: Bring it to me,” she commanded seductively. You grab her cutie marks and slowly guided your hardened shaft inside her dripping sex. “Mmm, now that’s what ah call a rock hard mushroo- AH!” she screamed as she felt her hymen break. Her cherry was now officially popped You instinctively began to pet her mane, trying to comfort her as much as you could. Applejack shivered in bliss as your comforting touch made her fall for in you even more. As she was bearing with the slight pain, she began to enjoy your thrusting little by little. She moaned and panted softly. She could feel her breasts being jiggled with each thrust from your hips. Your cock pressed against the deepest parts of her caverns, gradually speeding up. “Does it still hurt?” you asked moving to rub behind her ears. “N-Not anymore, sugarcube. Give... Give mah apples a good buckin’. Do me as hard as ya can,” she assured, giving you her warm smile. You felt her wiggle her hips while your member was still inside. You gave a slow nod and begin slamming your hips against hers. Now she had to cling onto the wooden post for balance as you rutted her savagely. Wet slaps and loud, throaty can be heard all throughout the barn. “G-Grab my breasts sugarcube, we both know you wanna,” she encouraged. You immediately reached underneath and squeezed both of her large, delectable breasts, marveling how soft they were. However, you let go of one of her breasts for a moment so you could cup the orange mare’s chin and make her look at you. With a smile you placed your lips against hers before returning your hand back down to her unoccupied breast. Your tongues danced together as much as your skin danced on her soft, furry body. You felt the need to thrust even harder, so that’s exactly what you did. Applejack’s eyes rolled to the back of her head as you hammered into her even harder than before. It wasn’t long before you felt her inner walls tighten around your throbbing member. “S-Sugarcube... t-that’s the s-stuff...!” she stuttered and let out an unexpected squeak when you pinched her nipples. You raised an eyebrow before grinning widely. You never thought you’d hear something like that come out of Applejack’s mouth. “N’aww, what cute squeak, coming from such a sexy, slutty mare. Now I know how to take control over you,” you whispered to her. That proved to be a mistake, as the mare gave you a glare as an irritated blush spread across her face. Though it was quickly changed to a devious smirk before she completely turned around, taking your shaft out and pushed you back onto the hay bail. “Okay, maybe I deserved that,” you said, nervously. “Darn tootin’, an’ Ah’m gonna make sure ya learn yer place after this. As of right now, Ah’m in control an’ ya ain’t bein’ let off the hook after Ah make ya cum… hard,” AJ said, walking up to you at a slow pace, give her hips an added sway. Taking her place above your still rock hard shaft, she intentionally lowered herself at a very slow pace. Once your member was finally inside her all the way, Applejack wasted no time bouncing on top of you. Letting out a gasp, from her rough treatment you still managed to give her an adoring look. “I-I’m sorry. You know I was just teasing you right?” you asked feeling a bit guilty. Applejack lowered herself down to wrap her arms around your neck. “Ah know, Ah was got a lil mad, but Ah’m over it now. Now that Ah think about it, callin’ me somethin’ like that really turns me on. Ya certainly know how to drive a gal wild, lover boy,” she complimented before kissing you. “Ya can be an idiot sometimes, Bucky... but yer my idiot,” she chuckled before sitting back up. You wrapped your arms around her hugging her back before AJ slammed her hips against yours in unison. Applejack moaned into your ear before she began stroking your hair. “Sweet Celestia, Bucky! Yer cock’s so big inside o’ me!” she whispered, looking directly at you. It warmed your heart to look up into those beautiful, emerald eyes. The temptation grew too much for you to handle as you once again lunged in and assaulted her mouth with your tongue. Reaching down, you groped both of her cutie marks. AJ’s already-tight walls clenched onto your shaft even tighter, making you grunt. Just to keep her in the mood, slapped her plump flank and continued to thrust inside of her. “Y-Yer lucky B-Bucky... I-If anypony else h-had s-slapped mah tush, Ah would’ve kicked ‘em in the crotch s-so hard... their breedin’ days would be over,” she said dangerously. “Lucky me then,” you smiled and gave her a second smack. As much as you wanted this moment to last, your body couldn’t hold on much longer. The intense feeling in your crotch made itself known to you. You bit your lip, attempting to prolong your precious moment with Applejack. “W-What’s the matter, Bucky, y-ya gonna b-blow?” AJ asked stuttering. “I... I’m t-trying n-n-not to,” you replied just as shakily. You could feel Applejack tighten around your cock, you knew she too was reaching her limit. “D-Don’t hold back for these last f-few seconds Bucky! Gimme everything ya got!” she demanded. This was it. It was now or never. With all your strength, you leaned yourself more onto Applejack, laying her down underneath you and thrusted as fast as you possibly could. “O-Oh A-Applejack...! I-I love you so much!” you shouted reaching to grab both her breasts. She reached up and caressed your cheek as happy tears filled her eyes. “A-Ah love ya too, Bucky... W-With all ma-a-ah heart...” she muttered as the tears continued to fall. You couldn’t hold in any longer and with one last powerful thrust, you released your pent up load into her deepest parts of her pussy. Lots and lots of huge globs flooded her womb repeatedly. AJ let out the loudest moans as she was being filled to the brim with your semen. She couldn’t contain herself and sprayed your crotch with her apple juices. After 15 seconds of climaxing, you and AJ went limp, panting heavily. You tiredly kissed her sweaty cheek, making her chuckle. “We’ve made quite a mess tonight, haven’t we honey?” she asked as you continued showering her with kisses. “Yeah, we certainly did,” you replied, feeling tired. You placed a hand on her belly, well aware of the results of releasing inside of her. She’s already made it clear that she wants to have a foal with you. “Applejack, I’m glad I met you. I mean, yeah, we had a rocky start at first, but now thanks to you and your family, I’ve grown to love you all.” “Ah feel the same way with you, sugarcube,” she said and then it was your cheek that was kissed. “Still, Ah’m still wonderin’ what the others’ll think about this...” “Good point, especially Big Mac. I hope he isn’t too mad about this when he finds out,” and right after you said that... “Relax, I ain’t mad,” said Big Mac. You jumped and looked at the doorway to the house where he was leaning with his arms crossed and had a warm smile on him. Applejack blushed and accidentally fell off the hay bail with you in order to not have her brother see her naked. “Dagnabbit, Big Mac, how long have ya been standin’ there?!” she demanded, peeking from behind the hay. “After ya moaned louder than a screamin’ banshee. Y’all were pretty loud. Y’all should feel lucky that Ah went an’ put in ear muffs on Apple Bloom.” “What about Granny Smith?” you asked. “She knew y’all was gonna buck, so she had some prepared beforehand,” he reassured. “Okay, that’s a lil’ better. But why peek in on us durin’ our special moment? Ya better not be mad at Bucky!” Applejack warned. “Relax sis, Ah just wanted to let y’all know how proud Ah am to know ya found someone who loves ya fer who you are. Ah can already tell that Bucky here’s gonna take real good care o’ ya. So, in short, Ah just want to say “welcome to the family,” he explained. Big Mac turned around and was about to leave, but then… “Oh, an’ ya might wanna wash up before ya head back to sleep, so Granny Smith won’t complain ‘bout the smell o’ sweat an’ sex.” Having spoken out his last words, Big Mac left you two and closed the door. Left alone for certain this time, you and Applejack looked at each other before you both burst out laughing. “AJ, when did Big Mac develop a sense of humor?” you asked. “Ah don’t know, Ah guess he was born with it,” she shrugged after she stopped laughing. “But, he is right, we don’t wanna have Granny Smith and Apple Bloom to wake up to the smell o’ love-makin’ in the mornin’.” “I agree. Though, I’m probably gonna have to sleep on another hay bail after a quick shower,” you said, staring at the stain on the end of the hay. “That won’t be necessary. Ah was thinkin’ maybe it’s time ya ditched that ol’ hay bail an’ come sleep with me. How does that sound?” as she reached for her shirt. “I like that but..” With a sly smile and quick movements, you lifted Applejack off her hooves so you could hold her bridal style. “...I figured I could maybe carry you up there in style.

That was all you needed to hear as you proceeded to carry your exhausted lover to the house.
