My first my little pony fanfic! No flames. Tell me if you like this story and I may continue
"Applejack? Applejack, where are you?" Apollo sighed as he weaved in and out of the apple orchard.
Whether Big Mac wanted to admit it or not, he and his sister were very similar. They were both as stubborn as mules. Mac was too stubborn to stay in bed, and Applejack was too stubborn to ask for help. He was going to come and check on Applejack himself, but one glare from Apollo set him straight. He promised Mac that he'd go and help Applejack. But so far, the girl was scarce. Apollo rubbed his head in aggravation before he heard the familiar pounding of hooves.
"AJ listen to me!"
'oh dear,' was all Apollo was thinking of as he approached the argument.
Now, that was what Apollo was known for, settling any argument. Ergo, his cutie mark was of the olive branch. His white coat and wings went perfectly well with his blond mane and tail. He wore a light blue vest, and silver hoof bracelets. His deep blue eyes ceased any fighting, so Apollo could always get a word in.
He approached the apple orchard and smiled as he saw Applejack conversing with the new filly Twilight Sparkle. He waited a bit before Applejack started to walk away that he walked in.
"Applejack, have you not heard me calling for you?" Apollo asked, lifting one eyebrow in amusement.
Applejack started, and then to her chagrin faced him. He smiled sadly at her state, her eyes held dark circles under them and her eyes hazy.
"Sweety, did you ask your friends for help yet?" Apollo asked, sending a look to Twilight, who was…blushing?
"I don't need no he…"
"Applejack…" said Apollo, a warning tone in his voice.
He looked to see her friend look back. More of Applejack's friends must be coming. He looked Applejack and sighed. He nuzzled the top of Applejack's head.
"I know it's hard. You're just as stubborn as your brother. Do you know he wanted to come out and help?"
Applejacks eyes widened before she stared at the ground sadly. Apollo chuckled, causing the ponies that had just arrived to stop.
"But I told him that you would have help. Now…" Apollo was shocked to have a rainbow filly cut him off. "Rainbow Dash I assume?" he chuckled at her bewildered expression.
"Yep! And shes gonna have help! From us, right girls?"
A cheer of neighs and whinneys accompanied her declaration. Apollo looked to Applejack and playfully swatted her with his tail. She snickered and pushed him a bit.
"And you'll have me to help…"
"No way ho-say! You got to make sure that, that brother of mine don't move a muscle!" Applejack demanded, which caused a snort of exasperation from Apollo.
"Yeah, you're right. You have no idea how many times I've caught that oaf trying to get out of bed rest! And the stupidest explanations. 'the plants need to be talked to' or 'Granny smith needs to be woken up!'. I'm about to beat that stallion over the head with one of my horse shoes!" Apollo slightly raged.
Applejack let out a fully belly laugh before collapsing to the ground in a fit of chuckles. Apollo sighed before snuffing her hair out of place. She smiled and nuzzled him one more time before standing up.
"Ok. I've got help! No need to worry about me Apollo!"
"Hey Applejack, who's this?" The white unicorn asked, her eyes examining Apollo.
"Rarity I assume?" Apollo laughed at their shocked faces again. "Sorry. I know everyone in pony-Ville. My name is Apollo, official peacemaker of equestria, at your service!" he bowed low.
"Wow. I must say you're the first male Pegasus I've seen that's all white. It's very rare! I've never seen one before." Rarity continued, cricling Apollo.
"I'm the only one…that I've known so far"
"Are you Applejacks boyfriend? Cause that would be so cool!" Pinkie Pie jumped around the group.
Apollo and Applejack look at each other and laughed.
"No, no, no, no, no! I've known this Pegasus for as long as I can remember. He's like another brother to me! Plus he wings…" Apollo covered her mouth and gave her a soft glare.
She blushed in embarrassment before bowing her head.
"ok. You girls be responsible and I'll be back to check on you in a while. Call me if you need me Applejack, I'll be a wing beat away!" with that Apollo flew back to the bran.
"Wow…he's so cool." Twilight whispered, red covering her cheeks.
"Someone has a crush" Rainbow Dash teased, while making kissy noises.
Applejack winced before shaking her head.
"Lets get to work girls! No time like the present!"
(Back at the barn)
"Mac, where are you! I swear if you're out of my bed I'm gonna…"
Apollo smiled as he heard scuffling and the ruffle of sheets. He passed by Granny Smith, but stopped and gently woke her. She sputtered awake but smiled at Apollo.
"Ah, my dear. Is it lunch time already?"
Apollo nodded before helping Granny Smith off the chair. He led her to the table and started to bring out lunch. He heard the clubbing of hooves across the hall and turned to smirk at an embarrassed Mac.
"You weren't about to sneak into the apple orchard were you?"
Big Mac looked away before laughing.
"Well I had to if Lil Sis had no help. I'll probably go out there after…"
"No need." Apollo replied before setting out another plate of food. "I convinced her to let her friends help her. So you don't need to help."
Big Mac's jaw dropped before shaking his head in amusement. If anyone could get Applejack to get over her stubbornness it was his best friend.
"You're such a nice boy" Granny Smith commented, patting Apollo's cheek.
Apollo blushed, but smiled nonetheless. He then turned his glare on Big Mac. He walked up to the bigger horse and poked him in the bandages.
"You've eaten. Now go back in bed and rest!"
"But, the apple orchard and granny…"
"You don't trust me to take care of things?"
"No! It's just that…"
"Mac."
"Yes?"
"you know you fighting a losing battle…right?"
"I'll get back in bed."
"Good."
A few hours later, Applejack and the rest of the ponies filed through the door. They were met with Apollo's smile. Twilight erupted into a crimson blush before she hid behind Rainbow Dash.
"You guys are done?" Apollo asked, peeling himself away from a conversation with Big Mac and Granny Smith.
"YE-UP! We're done! Thanks girls!" Applejack said, rubbing her hoof in gratefulness.
A chorus of your welcomes echoed. Apollo smiled before heading towards the door.
"See you guys tomorrow! Mac, you should be fine by tomorrow. But rest until tomorrow afternoon," instructed Apollo, ready to walk out the door.
"You sure you don't want to spend the night?" Applejack asked, Big Mac nodding beside her.
Apollo smiled
"Thanks, but you guys don't have enough room. I don't want to be a burden. I'll be at my usual hang. See you guys later"
And with that Apollo walked out the door. Applejack sighed and waved the girls goodnight. She sat with Granny Smith and Big Mac for a while.
"I hate that he's all alone…it doesn't feel right." Applejack murmured, setting off towards her room.
"But it's his choice. If he wants a change, he knows he's got a family here." Granny Smith yawned before falling asleep in her rocking chair.
Big Mac just shook his head sadly before going to his room. Tomorrow would hopefully be a better day.
Ok. So the rest of the story/stories (if enough people like this) are just going to be snippet stories of Apollo's life in ponyville. You may even send me requests for a story. Heaven knows I need ideas!
