Chapter 2

Some time had passed since they had heard the response from the deep stern voice, Eamon began to get curious.

"So, umm" Eamon started to say "Who did you ask to come in to see me" facing Applejack.

"Just my big brother Big Macintosh and Granny Smith" Applejack responded with a slight grin.

"Oh, ok" Eamon said nervously "Are you sure that they should see me".

Applejack let out a small laugh after hearing this and turned to Eamon.

"Why, because you are a human" she answered "Because you are different".

Applejack seemed to know exactly why Eamon was hesitant to see any more colourful ponies.

"Well, that and the fact that I'm still a bit scared about what has happened recently" responded Eamon sheepishly.

The two of them let out a slight laugh while Applebloom stared at them with a slight smile.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, drinking some water that Applejack had brought them. There wait seemed to go on for hours, sitting in silence, just waiting for the rest of Applejacks family to join them.

"Sorry we took so long" said the same stern voice that Eamon Big Macintosh "But Granny Smith was out in the fields again".

No sooner did those words leave his mouth the back door slowly opened and a big red workhorse with a light brown mane entered with a frail green pony following close behind. He saw his sister and then froze in place when he faced Eamon.

Eamon began to feel like a freak, being stared at, scaring people (or ponies in this case). He then looked away to hide his face from the Red pony, but it wouldn't help him.

"Applejack" Macintosh asked with a scared and confused look on his face "Who, and what he" pointing out the elephant in the room.

"Big Macintosh, I'd like you to meat Eamon" applejack said with a hint of enthusiasm "he'll be staying with us for a while".

"WHAT" Big Macintosh said being louder than he wanted it to be?

"What's the entire ruckus about" said an elderly voice from behind Big Macintosh.

The frail green pony had stepped in front of applejack, staring at her for a brief moment. Her gaze then shifted towards Eamon, making him very uncomfortable. Instead of freaking out like Eamon thought the green pony would, she simply smiled at him.

"Hello there" she started "welcome to Sweet Apple Acers, what brings you here".

Both Eamon and Big Macintosh stared at her with a look of shock, not only was she not frightened of Eamon, but she was being fairly friendly towards him. After a few moments of silence, Applejack was the first to speak.

"This here is Eamon Granny Smith" she started "he's a human from earth, and he'll be staying with us for a while"

The frail pony looked at her and simply nodded, indicating to her that she was fine with this. She then focused her attention to Eamon and then walked towards a chair and took a seat.

"Why is it that I am the only one who is a bit frightened around this new friend of yours Applejack" Big Macintosh asked nervously

Both Applejack and Applebloom began to giggle at this, and then Applejack faced her brother with a smile on her face.

"You, scared" she started "you're the biggest and strongest out of all of us"

He looked at her with a look of annoyance, but it quickly changed to a slight grin

"Your right sis, I guess that I was just being a bit silly".

He then faced Eamon and quickly realised just how much bigger he was compared to them, he noticed that he stood above him by about a foot and about two feet about Applejack.

"So…" he began to say "You're a human, right"

"Yeah" Eamon quickly answered "why, are there no humans that live here"

Everyone except for Eamon began to giggle, with a confused look on her face. It took him a moment to realise what he just said

"Oh, right, ponies" he said trying to recover from his previous statement.

"It's all right partner" Applejack started "You've only been awake for what now, an hour. We expect you to ask a few questions, even if you already know the answer to them".

"I've got a question for you" Big Macintosh began facing Eamon "how in Equestria did you manage to get here"

Eamon began to tell him about what happened and how the White horse brought him here

"Princess Celestia brought you here, and to us…why" Big Macintosh responded with a confused look on his face.

Eamon realised that after telling Macintosh about these recent events, that his picture of his parents and him was missing. His face changed from happy and cheerful to one of worry and distraught.

"OH no, where is it" he said to himself "I need to find it"

With that thought, he asked if he could go outside to get some fresh air. With a not from Applejack, Eamon made his way outside and began walking towards the barn where he recently awoke.

Eamon was alone with his thoughts for a moment and thought about these ponies, in particular, Applejack. Why was she being so friendly and kind towards him, a complete stranger? And why did she remind him of something familiar. These thoughts quickly escaped him once he reached the barn.

Applejack and her family were sitting in the living room of their home, waiting for Eamon to return. The room was silent, until her brother decided to start a conversation.

"Why is he here" directing Applejacks attention towards him "I mean, why us and not someone else"

With that question leaving his mouth, she began to think for a moment.

"I'm not sure, but you don't mind the fact that he is here with us" she responded

He simply shook his head from side to side and let out a slight grin.

"Your new friend has been gone a while now" he started "maybe you should go check on him to make sure he didn't get lost".

With that, Applejack walked towards the door and stepped outside. She knew that it was easy for people to get lost on the farm if they weren't careful. Much to her surprise, she saw him walking in the barn. She began making her way over to him when she heard him talking to himself.

"Oh no, where is it" he said "it has to be here somewhere"

Applejack looked into the barn and saw that he was turning the barn upside down. She walked in and confronted him about his actions.

"What do ya think yer doing" she said with a hint of anger in her voice

Eamon nearly jumped out of his skin as she spoke, scaring him. He turned around and saw the orange pony standing there.

"I'm sorry Applejack, I lost something very important and I need to find it"

"You could have just asked for some help sugar cube" she responded "I learned once that it's ok to ask for help when you need it".

Just as she said that, Eamon saw something in the corner of his eye that caught his attention. It was his picture. He began walking towards it, slowly bending down to pick it up.

"Is that what you were looking for" she asked

Eamon answered with a slight nod and began making his way over towards her. Applejack saw that it was a picture frame with what she assumed had a picture in it. She decided not to further question this and slowly began walking back towards the house with Eamon.
