"He just cheated on her like that?" Applejack asks. The two left "The Alamo Freeze" not more than five minutes ago. Julie is driving while Applejack is in the passenger seat.
"He says it was the heat of the moment, but that is some major BS," Julie says. "So, going off topic, exactly where are you from and how did you get here?"
"Well, I am from a land called Equestria who is ruled by a magical, royal, alicorn pony whose name is Celestia. A kind gentle princess who isn't really like those stereotypical stuck up princesses."
"Is she laid back?"
"Just gentile, and she knows how to take care of business though."
"Is there any democracy?'
"There is local politics for electing a town mayor, but not for Equestria itself."
"Very interesting. But how about getting here though?"
"My friend was trying out a spell, and, well, you can see how that ended?"
"Yeah." There is a pause. Applejack takes a look outside the car window and watches the scenery pass by. It reminds her of her farm. Applejack hasn't been gone from home for more than half an hour and she already feels homesick. Missing her brother, sister, grandmother, her friends and farm. Everything already. The scenery of Dillon does reminds her of her farm a little, but not too much. Julie takes notice of her looking out the window. She can already sense the feeling that she is homesick. "We'll find a way to send you back."
"You think so?" Applejack asks.
"I do. By the way, I didn't quite catch your name yet. What is is?"
"The name's Applejack. What about you hon?"
"I'm Julie. Julie Taylor."
Seven minutes later
The two arrive at Julie's house. She notices her dad's car is not here. "He must be out," Julie mutters. "Well, I think my dad may be out of the house at the moment. As for my mom, I don't know if she is here."
"You got a very nice house here Julie."
"The inside is very nice as well. Come on." Julie gets out of the car, walks around and opens the passenger side. Applejack hops out and admires the scenery of the suburban-like area.
"Nice little community here."
"Little, please. Dillon is pretty big." The two walk to the front door and Julie opens it. "Mom!" She shouts. No response. "Mom!" Still no response. Julie notices a note at the kitchen counter. She picks it up and reads it out loud.
"Went out to run some errands with your father.
We should be back around dinner time.
See you in a while.
-Mom"
Julie places the note back on the counter. "Well my parents are out. So, it's just you and me for a while."
"You guys have a nice place here," Applejack says strolling around the living room area. "Bit of a small house, but really cozy."
"Thanks. I would give you a tour, but small house. But I can say this: down the hall is my room on the left, and my parents room is on the right. Bathroom is next to mine. Garage is down this other hallway."
"Nice and simple, I like it."
"Glad you do." Applejack stops roaming around the living room and notices the TV set.
"What is this black box Julie?"
"This is a TV or a television set. Do they have these back from where you're from?" Applejack shakes her head. "Let me show you how it works." Julie picks up the remote and turns on the TV and a TV program appears on screen.
"What magic is this?"
"Not magic, technology."
"Wow."
"Unfortunately, most of America is stuck watching these things on a twenty-four-seven basis."
"That can't be healthy."
"It hurts eyes and just makes them lazy."
"Do you watch it."
"Once in a while, not so much that it will end up hurting my eyes." Julie turns off the the TV now.
"What did you say was used to operate that?"
"Technology…Wanna see my room?"
"Heck yeah!"
Two Hours Later
"The poor guy," Applejack says. The two are in Julie's room. The two are just sitting on the foot of the bed. "He wouldn't be able to walk again?"
"Nope. His family even sued my dad."
"Just because your dad is the coach of the team doesn't mean it is his fault."
"True, but he does hold responsibility for the team and what happens to them." Julie already told Applejack about who her parents are and what they do. Julie has told Applejack about her time in Dillon and the friends she already made. Applejack has already told Julie about her life in Ponyville along with talking about her friends and family. As they finish their conversation, Julie hears the garage door open. Julie jumps at the sound of the garage door opening. "My parents are home!" Julie quietly exclaims. "Look, I'll get out there and slowly get into telling them you are here. When I call your name or something like that, come out. Got it?"
"Got it." Julie leaves her room and moseys into the kitchen where her dad, Eric, and her mother, Tami, are. The husband and wife are placing some groceries on the counter.
"Hey mom and dad. How was shopping?"
"Good. We ran into Tyra while we were shopping," Tami says.
"How is she?"
"Good."
"Mom, I found something, or someone rather today and I brought 'em here."
"You should have told us that you were going to have company over."
"Well she was...lost, you may say."
"Lost?" Eric, Julie's father, asks.
"You'll see why. Applejack!" Julie's bedroom door opens. Eric and Julie are speechless when they see a orange pony with yellow hair and a cowboy hat. "Mom, Dad, this is Applejack."
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Taylor," Applejack says happily. "My name's Applejack. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." Eric and Tami are in complete shock with what they see.
"Oh boy," Eric says before fainting.
