"Yo Tom! Pass the Shure SM27!" I shout to Tom our producer.
"Get it yourself fatass!" Tom shouts back.
"Fuck off!" I reply as we both chuckle.
"What are you two shouting for?" Asks Micheal our drummer.
"I need the mic dude, how are we supposed to record vocals if their ain't a microphone?" I ask as close the box that is supposed to hold the microphone in.
I walk towards the studio window used to allow the musician and the producer to see each other and knock on it.
"Tom man you're the only person who knows where it is." I groan.
"It's in the storage cupboard, out the door take a left, then another left, then a right. There should be some lockers there, that's where you'll find the equipment." He answers as he continues to play around with the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 trying to get the Audio Interface to work.
"God damnit FINE!" I yell.
I head towards the door avoiding the wires on the ground nearly tripping on one I instinctively swear, but carry on anyway, knowing that if I fall and hurt myself I can sue Tom for damages. That thought alone made me chuckle since Tom didn't really care for health and safety, but somehow has not been sued yet. I leave through the door and follow his instructions towards the lockers until I spot something that seemed out of place.
"What's my guitar doing here? I could've sworn I had it in the tracking room..." I mumble to myself as I scratch my hair covered chin in thought. "Well at least I've got my guitar now."
I grab my acoustic guitar and continue to the lockers, only stopping to look out of the window at the clouds.
"Man, I'm living my dream, releasing songs and living life my way, for once." I mumble that last part and just continue to stare at the clouds for a few more moments.
"Well, it's about time I get the microphone already, otherwise this album won't be finished by the deadline." I think to myself.
I head round a corner and immediately see the lockers.
"Urm... Which one has the microphones in?" I groan to myself.
I walk towards the lockers noticing that there is 5 instead of the usual of 4.
"I wonder what's in the 5th locker." I think to myself as I open the door revealing a load of Cymbals.
"Okay then..." I mumble to myself.
I then open the 4th locker and a bright light blinds me.
I reach forward and grab the flashlight and turn it off.
"WHY IS THERE A TURNED ON FLASHLIGHT IN A LOCKER!" I shout in my head.
I then open the 3rd discovering a Fender Standard Strat Arctic White with Rosewood Fretboard electric guitar.
"Dayum girl you looking fine." I wink to the guitar. "Maybe one day I'll own one of you beauties." I chuckle to myself.
I then open the 2nd door and are greeted by a strange sight, the last thing I'd ever expect.
"Doritos? He has a locker full of Doritos?" I question jotting down the location in my memory. "I'll be back for you guys later." I say as I close the locker door.
"Well only one left." I groan.
I open the locker and a bright light fills my vision and I reach forward.
"STUPID FLASHLIGHTS!" I shout as I feel myself sucked into the locker and hear the door slam shut behind me.
I open my eyes and I'm in a weird world I'd never seen before.
"Er Mah Gerd Nernia!" Is what my head says, but my body says something completely different.
I bring my hand to my chin and scratch it for a moment then look around.
"How'd I get outside?" I ask out loud.
"What the hay is that creature!?" A scratchy high pitched feminine voice shouts from behind.
"Ah! Miss can you te..." I go silent as turn around and see the woman asking the hurtful question.
"What are you?!" She shouts again.
"WHY IS THEIR A TALKING PONY! WHAT DA FUQ! TOM!" I shout out loud.
"Creature tell me what you are or I'll kick your flank!" She shouts yet again.
"WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!" I yell.
"CELESTIA DAMNIT CAN YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE!" She shouts angrily.
"Oh well I'm a human, you know the creature at the top of the food chain, the people that feed you and give you homes." I reply.
She takes a step forward.
"Feed us and give us homes? ARE YOU STUPID WE DO THAT!" She shouts again.
"Why you gotta be so mean?" I curl into a ball and pretend cry.
"Don't get all blubbery on me." She groans.
"You're mean you know that." I smirk.
She groans as she steps towards me and stomps on my foot.
"OW! Why? What did I do?" I ask holding my foot.
"You are gonna follow me and your gonna listen to what I say Hue-mun. I know someone who'll help me understand your weird hairless body." She groans flicking her hair out from her face.
At that moment I realise something I didn't earlier. I was so busy playing around that I didn't even notice the colour of her fur and mane. Her fur was cyan blue and her mane was, well, every colour in the rainbow, and so was her tail!
"How are you blue? Why is your mane and tail rainbow coloured? And why do you have a tattoo on your ass?" I quizzed.
"Because they are and that's my cutie mark, stupid." She groans.
"Urm... What's a Cuty Mark?" I ask.
"Don't say it like that! That's not even a word!" She shouts back.
"How was it pronounced again?" I ask.
"Celestia help me... It's called a cutie mark." She groans.
"Oh a Fruity Mark." I reply teasingly.
"What? Where did you even get fruity from?" She asks confused.
"I don't know, on the way to your friends can you explain to me what a Cutie Mark is?" I ask.
"Fine." She sighs.
"Nice!" I reply.
She groans as we head on our way to a weird looking town in the distance.
"Oh yeah Rainbow creature where are we going?" I ask.
"Did you just call me Rainbow Creature? I am Rainbow Dash! The fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria!" She says proudly.
"Equestrial Guinea?" I ask.
"What? No E-Q-U-E-S-T-R-I-A!" She spells out.
"Okay, Okay. Don't get your panties in a twist." I reply.
"Did you just say panties! Are you a pervert here to take girls clothes?!" She growls.
"What? No! It's an expression Jesus!" I reply as I take a step back.
I feel a scratch on the back of my hand and as I look down to scratch it I see something that made me stop for a second.
"What are you doing now?" She grumbles.
"I don't remember getting a tattoo here." I think to myself as I scratch the tattoo.
"It's your cutie mark stupid." She mumbles.
"But why is it on my hand and not my ass like yours is?" I ask.
"Like I'm supposed to know that." She asks.
"Hmmm, it looks like two faces of me one with a microphone covering the mouth, the other... with a bleeding grin and blacked out eyes that look like someone hit glass with something hard and teeth like a sharks..." I think to myself.
"I'm not sure but it looks cool and unnerving at the same time." She replies.
"Where's this friend of yours? I think we both have some questions we'd like to ask." I ask her.
"Follow me." She says as she heads towards the small town.
I somehow keep up with her falling only a little bit behind her. Suddenly I feel my blood start to heat up as I can feel air hitting my teeth and gums where my cheeks are, I bring my eyes down to look as low down as they can and I see small flakes of skin falling of my face.
"What the FUCK!" I yell.
The pony didn't seem to hear me.
"Rainbow Tail!" I shout she turns around.
"It's RAINBOW DASH! What's up now?" She sighs.
"Don't you see my face! What's happening to it?" I ask worriedly.
"Nothing, you just look as stupid as you did 5 minutes ago." She groans.
"What the fuck..." I mumble to myself.
"Can we get going now?" She asks.
"Yeah sounds like a good Idea to me." I reply.
We continued running with nothing much else happening, entering the town I noticed that everyone was a pony of a different colour. I never took much notice now but everything is bright and cheerful, even Rainbow Mane which made me also smile.
"I'm on some strong ass drug trip" I think to myself.
Everypony we passed stared at me wide eyed as I followed Rainbow Dash through the now filled streets towards what looked like a large tree house.
"Here we are Hue-Mun." Rainbow Dash says as she knocks on the door.
A Light Purple pony with dark purple hair with a pink streak going through it answers the door.
"Oh hey Rainbow Dash what can I..." She stops speaking when she sees me.
"What is it Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asks pointing at me.
"I said earlier that I'm a human." I groan.
"Is it friendly?" The purple pony asks.
"Oh come on!" I groan.
"I don't know, I was practising some tricks when I say a flash of light below me so I investigated it and saw this weird hairless monkey creature." Rainbow Dash replies.
"Human! H-U-M-A-N! Say it with me now Human." I drag the last word out.
"A Human? Is that how you pronounce it?" The purple pony asks.
"Yes! Finally!" I fist pump.
"What is it Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"It just said it's a Human..." The purple pony facepalms... Hoofs? Yeah Facehoofs.
"I know it did but I don't trust it." Rainbow Dash looks at me then back to the Purple Pony.
"So... What's your name Human?" The purple pony asks.
"Well, my name is Josh Browne, what's yours?" I reply then ask.
"Well, Josh my name is Twilight Sparkle, might I ask, why have I never seen a Human before?" Twilight asks.
"I don't know, I mean there are a couple billion of us so I have no idea how you haven't yet." I reply.
"WHAT!?" Both of the ponies shout.
"What?" I ask.
"Josh, there are not that many humans here. In fact I'm sure you're the only one." Twilight replies.
"Seriously? Who's gonna listen to my music now! God damnit!" I shout.
"I see, so your cutie mark was right, you are a musician. But I don't know what that creepy face next to it means." She mumbles.
"Neither do I." I say as I scratch at the mark.
"I need to do some research, I'll ask Celestia about Humans." She replies.
"Who's Celestia? I keep hearing her name but I have no idea who she is." I ask.
"WHAT?!" The two ponies shout again.
"You don't know about Celestia?" Twilight asks surprised.
"Urm... No. I just got here, should I know?" I ask.
"Yes! She rules this land!" Twilight replies.
"Royalty huh?" I ask.
"Obviously! You must know of her! You're from Equestria! How can you not know?" Twilight asks.
"She's right, how can you not know?" Rainbow Dash asks confused.
"No I'm not, I'm from England, our queen is called Queen Elizabeth II." I reply.
"This is interesting. SPIKE!" She shouts.
A small purple lizard creature walks into the doorway rubbing his eyes.
"What now? I was sleeping." The little lizard asks.
"Write this down." Twilight says.
The lizard groans then looks at me.
"WHAT'S THAT!?" The lizard shouts.
"The name's Josh and I'm a human." I reply crouching down.
"T-The name's S-Spike." It replies nervously.
"Oh shit I just realized something!" I facepalm.
"What?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"I left my Guitar back when I entered." I reply as I turn around and run towards where I entered.
"Rainbow can you watch him please?" Twilight asks.
"Fine." Rainbow sighs as she flies towards me.
"You don't have to follow me you know, I'm going to get a Guitar not a Gun." I joke.
"A Gun? What's that?" Rainbow asks.
"You don't know what a gun is?" I ask.
"Never heard of it." She replies at me as she flies ahead of me.
I look at her for a second confused.
"Do you not have guns here?" I ask.
"Nope, what are they?" She asks.
"It doesn't matter." I reply trying to avoid giving this peaceful looking place something to ruin the peace.
Rainbow Dash gives me a weird look then her face goes back to normal as she looks forward again.
"So what was it like where you come from?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Well I think I know what my 'Cutie Mark' means, it has something to do with my world, it's based on my personality and my health. I guess you could say I'm crazy, I noticed earlier that when I was running I was starting to turn into the face of the one that has a grin cut into him. It's something that all humans have, if they get angry enough, they have a part of them that will kill without worry and will only feel they did wrong when they've called down. And to answer your question my world is filled with assholes who will want you dead because you like something they don't I probably got told to kill myself about 30 times a day, humans are a vile race, there were those that were nice but they were outnumbered by those that wanted their own perfect world even if it took killing everything but themselves." I answered flatly.
"Sounds awful." Rainbow Dash mumbles.
"Killing is a normal thing, blood, death it's all a common sight to me. Something you live with." I reply stepping over a rock in the grass.
"Man you humans had it tough." She mumbles.
"Actually not tough enough, we became like that because it became so easy to do it." I reply as I scratch my chin through my beard.
"Is it really normal for a human to kill?" Rainbow asks worriedly.
"Most of them don't but there's a lot that do." I reply.
"And what about you?" Rainbow asks as she stops right in front of me staring at me.
"I do what must be done to protect those I care about, if I have to kill then so be it." I reply bluntly.
"I don't like you humans you sound like a terrible race." Rainbow growls.
"You're acting like I like humans, don't get the wrong idea I'm glad I'm not there anymore, the only let down is those that cared about me, Family, Friends and Fans." I reply as I look towards the sky.
"I still don't like you, or your race." Rainbow says honestly as she flies ahead of me again.
"You hate me now, but trust me you'll grow to like me." I chuckle.
"I doubt it." She replies bluntly.
"Ah! There's my guitar!" I point out as I run towards it.
"What's so special about your guitar? Why don't you buy another one?" Rainbow asks confusedly as she speeds up to fly next to me.
"This is the guitar that helped me in my music career. This guitar helped me release my first album and I'll continue to use it till I can no longer play." I reply smiling as I pick up the guitar.
"Sentimental then?" Rainbow asks.
"Yeah, very." I reply as I give the guitar a few strums to see if it's in tune.
"Doesn't sound too bad, but I know nothing about guitars, you might want to talk to Vinyl Scratch or Octave Melody maybe they know something about guitars." She says.
"Are you serious? You think I can play a guitar without knowing how to tune it properly?" I ask facepalming.
"How was I supposed to know that? It's not like I can play an instrument or something." She grumbles.
"Anyway let's head back to Twilight Sparkle." I say as I put on the shoulder strap and start heading back, Rainbow Dash in tow.
We arrive at Twilight Sparkle's house to hear a loud burp sound and the smell of fire, Rainbow Dash knocks on the door and then waits for Twilight Sparkle to answer.
"Oh your back, we just got a reply from Celestia." Twilight says as she opens her door and moves to the side to let us in, but neither of us enter.
"What does it say?" Rainbow asks.
"She wants to see Josh other there tomorrow." Twilight says looking at me.
"Great! Just fantastic." I reply sarcastically.
"You don't sound too excited to be meeting the RULER OF EQUESTRIA!" Twilight says looking shocked.
"That's because I'm not. I don't really care about royalty." I reply looking down noticing that my shoe laces where untied.
I bend down to tie them only to receive a kick to the face from Rainbow Dash.
"What where you doing? Trying to get a good look under Twilight you dirty pervert?" Rainbow growls.
"I WAS TIEING MY SHOE LACES GOD DAMNIT!" I shout.
Rainbow Dash and Twilight both look at my feet and see 4 long snake looking bits of fabric coming from the top of my shoes.
"What's a Shoo Lace?" Twilight asks.
"Shoe, its spelt s-h-o-e. It's what humans wear to protect our feet from the rough and rock covered ground." I explain
"Can I see these 'Feet'?" Twilight asks engrossed in the talk about feet.
"Sure..." I look at her confused.
I take of the shoe and sock from my left foot showing the girls what a foot looks like.
"It looks weird." Twilight unknowingly says.
"They look a bit like dragon feet, without the scales or claws." Rainbow Dash says as she pokes my foot.
"Can you please stop poking them?" I ask.
"Nope." Came Rainbow Dash's reply.
"Do you guys know anyplace I can sleep tonight? I'm tired and I need some sleep otherwise I won't be able to record my voice when I get back home." I ask hoping that there'd be a hotel or something nearby.
"Actually... I have an idea, Rainbow Dash can you go to Apple Acres? I think I've found them someone to help them earn a little extra money." Twilight asks Rainbow.
"For the love of Celestia." Rainbow groans as she turns to fly away.
Rainbow Dash flies away at a speed I didn't think possible.
"Wow she's fast." I say out loud.
"She's the fastest Josh." Twilight smiles.
"Interesting..." I think to myself.
"So how did you get here?" Twilight asks.
"Well I was looking for some music equipment to record with and I opened a locker, which is a place for storing things and there was a blinding light and I was sucked into it." I replied trying to remember everything.
"Interesting." Twilight says thinking for a second.
"I never even got to touch that beautiful guitar." I say sniffling.
"Beautiful guitar? Where you in love with a guitar?" Twilight asks worriedly.
"What? No. It's a figure of speech." I reply.
Rainbow Dash stops our conversation by popping into view.
"She said send them over Twilight." Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes.
"Okay well here's a map of Ponyville and the surrounding area. I've circled Apple Acres for you. Now have fun, I have more studying to do." Twilight says as she shuts the door on me and Rainbow Dash.
"Well, see ya human." Rainbow Dash says as she flies towards the clouds.
I put my sock and shoe back on and tie my shoe laces, I decide that on my to Apple Acres to sing a song to pass the time.
-(Song sang watch?v=CcK7Q5jQ7-w )-
As I sing I can see Ponies leaving their houses and gathering on the streets staring at me and listening to me singing.
"You liking the singing or are you just gathering to see who was doing it?" I ask looking toward the crowd.
"Both!" The crowd replies.
"Well, I'm a bit low on money, how about I do some performances for money?" I ask them.
"Yes!" The crowd shouts back.
I chuckle a little bit as I pull the guitar off my back and sit on the floor to be able to play it properly, I clear my throat and get ready to sing.
-(Song Played watch?v=co-CUxUujko )-
The ponies cheer as I finish the song.
"Just so you know those aren't of any of the songs I've made myself but those were the songs that came to my head first." I say smiling and putting the guitar back on my back.
As I look down I see a small pile of 10 gold coin shaped objects in front of me, I pick them up and put them in my right pocket.
"Thank you for listening to my performance, I hope you enjoyed it." I reply as I bow to them.
The crowd cheers then slowly disperses as I start to head towards Apple Acres.
"Whoever or whatever runs it will be happy when I show up with this amount of gold!" I say to myself with a grin. "I'm glad my voice is liked here, otherwise I'd be out of a job." I smile to myself.
I finally arrive at an old looking gate with a sign above it saying 'Apple Acres'.
"Finally I'm here." I sigh.
I take a second to look around see what must have been acres upon acres of apple trees, going as far as the eye can see. I'd never seen so many apple trees in my life time.
"WHAT ARE YA DOING ON MAH FARM CREATURE!" I hear a female voice with a heavy southern accent call from behind.
"I was told to come here by a pony with a rainbow coloured mane." I reply turning round seeing an orange pony with a blonde mane and tail.
"YOUR THA HELPIN' HAND?!" The orange pony shouts.
"Yeah... Oh yeah to show that I can be a big help I've brought some gold I got at a performance." I say as I fish out the 10 pieces of gold.
"Well if ya keep bringin' coins like that ya can stay as long as ya'd like ,ya sure you want ta stay here with me and tha family?" The orange pony asks.
"Sure, I mean if you don't mind of course." I reply nervously.
"If ya bring bits in like that then ya gonna be a family hero in no time." She smiles.
"Sounds perfect to me." I smile whilst handing her the gold.
"Can ya show me what ya did to get these bits? Ya got me mighty interested." The orange pony asks.
I pull the guitar off my back and sit down again. I played the same song I played to the crowd.
"Well sugar as long ya keep singing like that ya can stay here as long as ya lookin' ta." She says with a big grin on her face.
"So I'll be giving all the gold I earn to you then?" I ask.
"Ah don't think so sugar, ya can keep ya bits as long as you can bring us more business." She says waving her hand... Hoof in front of her.
"I'll make you a deal. Half of what I earn goes to you and your family, the other half goes to me." I say hoping she'll say yes.
"Are ya sure? Ah don't want to be takin' ya bits from ya." She replies kicking the dirt.
"It's fine, I'd feel terrible if I didn't." I reply happily.
"Tha names Applejack what's yours?" The Orange Pony asks holding out a hoof.
"Josh Browne, but you can just call me Josh." I reply shaking her hoof.
"Well then, let me show ya around here." She says happily as she turns towards the apple trees, with me closely behind her.
After the 'short' journey around the apple trees we head towards a barn.
"I'm guessing this where I'll be sleeping then?" I ask with a smile plastered on my face.
"Oh no sugar, ah could never have ya sleepin' in there." She replies shaking her head.
"Where am I sleeping then?" I ask confused.
"In the house of course." She replies pointing to the house.
"I couldn't. I don't want to take up space in your house." I reply scratching the right half of my jaw.
"Trust me ah'd never forgive mahself if ah let ya stay in here." She replies.
"Well I mean if you insist." I reply scratching the back of my head.
"Come on then sugar, let me show ya around tha house." She smiles happily at me. "Oh how silly of me, I never introduced mahself
I nod my head and follow her towards the house, it was a nice looking house, and it didn't feel like a house where people lived, it felt like a home where a family lived. A place where I didn't want to really live at knowing I wasn't a part of this family, but I didn't really have a choice. It was either here or nowhere.
"Hey applejack ya finally back!" I hear a voice coming from the house in front of us.
"Hey there Apple Bloom Ah'm back and Ah brought tha helpin' hand." Applejack says smiling.
A small yellow pony with red hair and tail with a large matching bow in her hair runs out of the house and stops instantly.
"What type of creature is that?" The small pony asks.
"Ah don't know to be honest Apple Bloom but he's gonna be staying here with us an' bringin' us a load more bits!" Applejack says excitedly.
"Where's all your hair gone?" The small pony asks.
"Wait have I gone bald?!" I ask worriedly.
"Nearly there's only a small patch on the top of your head." Applejack replies trying to sound sympathetic.
"You had me scared then! Jesus! Don't do that." I sigh.
"But what about the rest of ya hair?" The small pony asks again.
"That's all that's meant to be seen." I say putting my hands in my pockets.
"That's enough questions Apple Bloom we don't want to make Josh here uncomfortable." Applejack says to the small pony.
"Ok, well tha name's Apple Bloom, what's yer's?" The small pony asks.
"My name's Josh Browne, but you and the rest of your family can call me Josh." I reply smiling at the little pony.
It took me till now to realise just how tall these ponies where, Applejack was up to my neck the same goes for Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash, whilst Apple Bloom was up to my stomach. Now I'm not that tall I'm 6ft exact but I remember ponies being a bit shorter than these but to be honest, I'd never really seen a pony before so I can't be sure.
"What ya thinkin' over there Josh?" Applejack asks.
"Just how tall you all are, it surprised me a little." I reply.
"Ok... Anyway let's get ya inside to meet the other two in tha family." Applejack smiles as she heads towards the entrance.
I feel a tugging at my trouser leg, I turn around to see it's Apple Bloom and she's looking nervously at me.
"What can I do for you Apple Bloom?" I ask crouching down to her height.
"Ah was wondering if ah I could have a piggy back? I want ta see what it's like being that tall." She asks nervously.
"Sure, hop on." I reply as I turn around but staying crouched.
I feel her put her hooves on my shoulders then start to press her body against me.
"Tell me when you're ready and I'll stand up." I say getting ready to take her weight.
"Ah'm ready!" She replies happily.
"Okay then." I reply preparing for a heavy weight, as I stand up I realised that she didn't weigh anywhere near what I expected, she must have weighed 10 stone. I made my arms bend into semi circles that met with my hips.
"Now put your legs in between my arms and we can get moving." I reply looking back at her smiling.
"Ok!" She replies cheerfully as she puts her legs where I asked her to.
"Let's get going then." I say turning my head to face forward and start taking some steps.
I walk into the house with Apple Bloom on my back smiling happily as she got what she wanted, the house had a really nice look, it had a farm house look to it on the inside, it looked like the cosiest home I'd ever been in. I say home because I could never call this a house, it's homely beyond belief, it was beyond what I could imagine if someone asked me to draw a home.
"Josh why is Apple Bloom on yer back?" Applejack asked looking confused.
"She wanted to know what it was like being as tall as I am, so I gave her a piggy back." I reply smiling.
"Ya better be careful, I swear if she gets hurt Ah'll buck you so hard you'll wished Celestia did it!" Applejack warns me.
"Is it normal to say that to someone knew to this place? That you'll fuck them?" I ask confused.
"AH SAID BUCK NOT FUCK, AH'D NEVER DO THAT TA YA!" She shouts blushing heavily.
"Am I really that ugly?" I ask Apple Bloom who's blushing heavily.
"Ah'm not listening!" Apple Bloom shouts.
"Do I look like Macaulay Culkin or something?" I ask worriedly.
"Who's that?" Apple Bloom asks.
"A very creepy looking person." I reply shuddering.
"Careful Ah'm up here!" Apple Bloom shouts as I stop shuddering.
"Sorry." I reply awkwardly.
"What's goin' on in here? Applejack? Apple Bloom is that you?" An old sounding voice asks.
"Granny Smith!" Apple Bloom shouts from my back.
An old looking pony walks enters through a doorway , I notice that the pony is green with white hair and tail.
"Ah haven't seen a pony like that before! What type a pony are ya sonny?" The old pony asks revealing it to be a female.
"I'm not a pony, I'm a human." I reply smiling.
"A human?" The old pony asks.
"Yes." I reply lifting Apple Bloom up a bit as she was starting to fall down.
"Never heard of it!" The old pony replies bluntly.
"I guess I'm the first one around here then." I reply keeping my smile going.
"Are ya tha one who's supposed ta be helping round here?" The old pony asks.
"Yeah, I'm here to help bring in more bits for you guys, I actually brought some with me today." I smile looking at Applejack.
"He did ta be honest Granny Smith, he brought 10 bits, which he earned in 4 minutes!" Applejack says happily.
"4 MINUTES?! By Celestia's eyelash that's somethin' we could use round here!" The old pony says happily.
"I'm glad you're excited." I reply chuckling.
"What's ya name youngin'?" The old pony asks.
"The names Josh Browne, but you can just call me Josh." I reply smiling.
"Well Josh, mah name's Granny Smith and ya more than welcome ta stay, as long as ya don't talk ta the kettle, its grounded fer a week, fer being cheeky." Granny Smith says seriously.
"Yay ya get ta stay!" Apple Bloom says as she hugs me.
"You sound really excited for me to stay." I say smiling.
She buries her head into my shoulder, I can feel the heat radiating from her blush.
"Well Josh, let me show ya to ya room so ya can rest." Applejack says smiling.
"Can ah come?" Apple Bloom asks Applejack.
"Okay..." Applejack says giving her Apple Bloom a questioning look.
"I guess you can stay up their Apple Bloom until we get to my room then." I say breaking up the awkward moment.
"Alright, it's over here, follow me Josh." Applejack says as she heads through a doorway, me and Apple Bloom following close behind.
We walk past 4 doors making me think that there's someone here I haven't met yet.
"And this here's your room Josh, ah know it ain't much but it's all we got." Applejack says opening the door.
The bedroom is a modest room, with wooden walls with no paint on and a floor with no rug or carpet placed down, the bed was a double bed, probably in case a big pony come to stay. The room has a bedside table with a lantern on it and a window on the wall facing the entrance of the farm.
"I love it! Thank you so much Applejack." I say honestly.
"Ah'm glad ya like it Josh, now me and Apple Bloom are going ta go help Granny Smith with some cooking, it should take a while so you go ta sleep for a bit and Ah'll call ya down when it's done, ok?" Applejack asks.
"Sure thing Applejack, thanks again for letting me stay here." I reply smiling as I crouch back down to let Apple Bloom get down.
"Ok Josh see ya in a bit." Applejack smiles as she leaves the room.
"Bye Josh, an' thanks for letting me sit on ya back!" Apple Bloom says brimming with joy.
"It's alright Apple Bloom, anytime." I reply as Apple Bloom leaves closing the door behind her.
"I've got no clothes to sleep in... I'm gonna need to sleep naked aren't I?" I ask myself in my head.
I sigh, then start taking my clothes off, as soon as I've finished taking my clothes of I waste no time getting under the blanket and covering myself, and as soon as my head touches the pillow I fall asleep.
