After a short walk, Electric Bolt was out of the town and on his way to Sweet Apple Acres. He could smell the fresh air and sent of apples and apple cider. How different from his old home, in the country behind The Griffin Lands where smog and smoke filled the air and people relied on scientists like himself to handle things. He had left there for that reason and for a few others.
He had finally made it to the entrance to the facilities used by the ponies who lived there. The gate was wide open, almost as if anypony were welcome and nopony thought anypony would think about taking something. And so, without much more thought on the subject, Electric went through the gate and up to the farmhouse.
Before he could get there a voice came up from behind him.
"Hold your horses there, pony! Where do you think you're going?" It said. It seemed to be a mares voice.
Electric turned around and came face to face with, he guessed it, a mare. She was brown with straw yellow hair and her Cutie Mark was three red apples. Her light green eyes were narowed into his, almost as if she knew he was up to something.
"Woah, there. I'm not doing anything." Electric said. "I was just over at that town over there, what do you call it? Oh yeah, Ponyville. I was there when an annoying pink mare aproached me. I asked her, after some extent of waiting, where I could get a place to live. She told me to come here, and so, I did."
"Well then! Why didn't you just say so!" The mare said, turning from suspiscious to welcoming. "The name's Applejack, and if you're looking for a place to stay, you came to the right place!"
Electric sighed inwardly. Great. Another bi-polar Equestrian. No wonder he never took vacations here as a colt. "Yes. Nice to meet you, Applejack. So, As I'm here to get a place to stay... what kind of places you got around here?" He asked her, trying to be more charming than sarcastic. He hadn't really handled it that well with the pink one, so he thought he should try a different approach with this one.
"Well, it depends. Do you want a place near or in the town or somewhere out around here?" Applejack asked.
"Anywhere is fine, but I'm thinking close to town. It would be easier to get any supplies I may need if I lived near the town." Electric replied after thinking about it for a few seconds.
"Well, alright then! Let's go back to the town and I'll show you the places we have open." Applejack said, turned, and walked away.
Electric followed after her immediatly, and together they set off to town.
Again.
