I ran into the city laughing my head off my sister right behind me
We were a few yards away from each other she closed that as she leaped and tackled me into the ground
She pinned me down and stopped panting to speak her eyes were red and face was irritated
"Now explain to me why you did that?"
I gulped her eyes narrowed at me
"Applejack it was my idea" we turned to see bright eyes watching us fight
"I'd expect it from big machintosh not from you though"
"So you're not mad" bright eyes expression changed to relief for a second
"Oh no, I'm mad" bright eyes expression changed to sad
"I THOUGHT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULDA KNOWN BETTER I MEAN….." she stopped once she realized she was talking to no one
"Now applejack I know you're mad I give that to you, but I thought you just met der… I mean bright eyes yall met what 2 or 3 days ago at the bakery place?"
"Yeah did I frighten her at all"
"Well I never seen a mare, get that upset over yelling at something she didn't do I'd say"
"Wait what do you mean something she didn't do?"
"she saved my flank from getting yelled at and took the heat you can yell at me when I get done tracking her down, calming her down when, I'm done with my chores got it and I think its best you and her stay kind apart until she simmers down a bit truly if she saw you again I have not the reconist Idea of what could happen"
She nodded and made her way up the road tail in between her legs
"Ok if I was a sad Pegasus, where would I be?"
I was as determined as I galloped into town I didn't know rainbow dash landed beside me
"Hey big machintosh what you thinking about" she said a little concern on her face
"Have you seen bright eyes around anywhere?"
"Yeah check the café" she said and continued to walk beside me until she got bored and flew up and disappeared
"THANKS" I yelled hopefully she heard It I doubt that but anyway onto the mission
I went into the café it was pretty much empty except for the mare sitting at the bar arms on the bar sobbing quietly head resting on her forearms
"Hey, hey it's ok" I said reassuring voice
She looked at me and then I remembered how she got it
"Remember that day you went to the farm and I um bucked you on accident?"
"Yeah" she sniffled and continued to sob slightly lighter not much but some
"Did you ever here my story to that?"
She shook her head and looked at me
"well I was scared for you, I know they might not know it but you skipped a couple grades in school you were so smart you still are I know, this"
"Why did you stop going to school you seemed to dropout" she regretted her answer as my face softened
"Bartender uh whisky shooter please"
"You see I had to help my family"
"why at such a young age?"
"Our parents celestia bless them, they died in trying to save ponyville from the flood they blocked the hole from the dam they drowned" my voice got quite my drink came
I shot it down I blinked and tears came down she put a hoof over my shoulder
"But, I mean what are better two ponies dying or 400 of them"
"but, I um I will never forget what happened when we hung out for that one time you visited had to go to the clinic after that"
Freshly new tears poured down my face
"Hey I'm fine now it wasn't your entire fault and my mom distracted me and I didn't know you were going to buck the nearby tree" she said trying to get me to calm down it helped
"Big machintosh I would love for you to come to my house and show you my daughter"
"You have a filly?"
"Yep ditzy doo"
"Alright let finish these shooters then we'll head out"
"I'm so tired" I said stumbling out of the bar I made it down the street mainly leaning on bright eyes
"you have such a pretty face you know that" I said laughing I was pretty gone after those drinks
She blushed
"What I was getting at um is do you um have a stallion friend if you do that's ok we can still be friends"
She giggled then said "of course I don't guys don't think of me attractive"
"You kidding me your prettier than dash, oh did I say that, don't tell her I told you that"
"It's fine my lips are sealed"
I stopped and looked at the stars and sat down on the grass field we were at
She giggled and sat down next to me she laid her head down on my mane
Ok now or never go for it man
I leaned and our lips met
Her eyes went straight and went wide
I pulled back and had my eyes still closed
i opened them and noticed something that had changed
"Look at me, bright eyes"
She did the kiss made her eye come into place and it didn't slide back down
"Your eyes"
She frowned and glared at me
"They're beautiful I think I fixed you're eye"
"Really" she said excitedly
I made it into the house the rush of cold air hit my face I swayed forwards but caught myself
"Hey mommy who is that"
"he is a friend honey, now I'm going to get him ready for bed, ill tuck you in, in a moment ok?"
I fell right to sleep only to get up once a giant storm brewed up and thunder woke me up
I heard hooves on the ground heading towards the bedroom
"Um I'm sorry but um I'm" she was caught off by a flash then a giant boom that shook the house making me jump a couple inches
She jumped into the bed
"Come here" I said opening my arms
She did once her mom told her it was ok
She yawned and fell asleep in my arms I held her close to my chest and fell asleep
I woke up in the morning to see that bright eyes was gone but the filly was still sleeping
"Hey time to get up don't you have school?"
"Oh mommy says I'm too young is it ok if I hang out with you today?"
"Uh why don't we just stay here for today?"
"I'm hungry" she said I got up and stretched trying to hide my aching head
"Ok let's see what your mom has for foods
"Blueberry muffins, banana muffins, apple muffins, is everything muffins?"
"Yep"
"Aren't you burnt out on that stuff?"
"maybe just a little but if I don't mommies, muffins mommy gets sad, I hear her cry sometimes when I go to bed"
That confession made my face soften just a little
"excuse me if I don't mind asking but where is your dad?"
She looked down then back at me face is sad and I felt dumb for saying that
I got on two hooves and picked her up to get her to calm down
I saw a note on the table
Went to post office be back later machintosh can you do me a favor and watch her and I'll be sure to repay you
Love bright eyes
I held her like that for a few minutes until she sounded like she was snoring
I went to the couch and set her down
"Man what a cute kid"
I lay back in the easy chair and fell asleep
Meanwhile…..
"Hey derpy…." The bully stopped and noticed her eyes were straight and everything
"How'd you fix your eyes"
"It's amazing how many things love fixes"
She stopped midair and saw machintosh and her daughter on his neck he was running laughing so was she
"hahah looks like I got 2 kids now" she said looking at me and her daughter
I stopped jumping around
"again, again, again"
"Again, oh let me rest a couple minutes, ok sugarcube"
"Ok daddy"
That word hit me close to my heart like a punch to the face
Don't get yourself attached to her Mach you can't do that unless I let my mind roam
"There you are big machintosh I thought you went missing, who's that on your neck there?"
"This is ditzy doo bright eyes daughter I'm filly sitting for her" I said truthfully
Bright eyes flew down to the ground
"Oh hi applejack"
"Hey machintosh she isn't giving you too much trouble is she?"
Applejack stared at bright eyes face the entire time before exploding out
"Hey what happened to you're eye"
She giggled and looked at me
"I think you would've told her by now"
"oh yeah applejack we are um" I said groping her hoof in mine
"well sis, close you're mouth so bugs don't get in there"
"That would be disgusting big machintosh" she said smiling and then congratulating us
"What flies are protein" I said jokingly
"come on lets go down to the farm I got a lot of catching up to do" I said galloping towards the farm I didn't notice that ditzy wasn't hanging on that good and fell off
I skidded to a halt and scooped her up and cradled her and comforted her she stopped crying fast in my embrace
Bright eyes and applejack had mouths to the floor
"what I love kids, they love me"
"I do daddy"
I stiffened at the word and then laughed
"Sweetie I'm not you're daddy"
"well your kind of like a dad right"
"I don't know it decides if you're momma over there wants me to be her coltsband, but you promise me something alright sugar you can't tell you're mommy what I told you I want to tell her it is tradition
"Ok" she said happily jumping up on my back again I slowly galloped to the farm
I bucked a tree as I did every day I was sweating up something fierce
I went inside it was mid-day I started at 10, kind of late for me but hey I have a lot on my plate right now
I went in to see bright eyes eating an apple-pie granny made
"Why sunny how come you hadn't introduced me to you're mare friend yet?"
"oh im sorry granny, this is bright eyes she delivers the mail
"no that one pony with the messed up eyes?"
"yep that would be me I'm actually pretty smart"
"yes you are" I said kissing on the lips fast one
"I hear wedding bells" she said and laughed as she walked up stairs
"where she gong?" bright eyes said
"aww she just gonna take her mid-day nap she always does that
Sweetie belle, scootaloo, and Applebloom walked in and didn't even recognize her
"Who is that pretty mare standing creepily close to big machintosh sis?"
"im bright eyes I deliver the mail I had the one crooked eye"
"oh yeah I remember you, didn't you enter the Cloudsdale young flyers competition?" scootaloo said excitedly
"yep I sure did and yes I was around rainbow dash and I'm one of her friends now"
That answer made scootaloo explode in questions and wonder
