King Spike Rules here and this is the seconds chapter to Weekend on the Farm. Here we have Spike help Applejack rest up and checks on things when he learns something that could ruin everything.
Chapter 2: Bed Rest.
Spike was looking over Applejack to see if she had any injuries from what he could only assume was her passing out from over working herself and he got his answer as he lowered his her to her chest, and listened to her as she was letting out light snores. Hearing that made Spike smile as he sat up a bit and looked down at her as his panic was slowly turning into perplexing as he thought it over on how could he get her to her bed.
"I guess there's only one way." Spike said smiling as he cracked his knuckles and leaned forward, slowly inching his arm under her legs and back before stepped on one of his feet. He then took a deep breath as he pushed himself up with his knee and he was now on his feet with Applejack in his arms bridle style. Taking a few moments to get use to her, he turned around and headed out of the kitchen, through the living room, and up the stairs. But as he did, he could not help but notice how dirty the house was as he walked around many things while carrying her up the stairs and then pushed her bedroom door open with his foot as he was shocked to see that it was also filthy. "Oh, Celestia." he said as he walked around so many things and nearly tripped on just as many until he made it to her bed and laid her on the bed.
"T-thanks." she mumbled out of no where and he looked at her as he wondered if she was awake, but she saw that she was just talking in her sleep.
"Okay, let's get you more comfy so you could rest." he said smiling as he quickly undid her boots and pulled them off of her as he plopped them on the floor, and it was then that he noticed how dirty her clothes really were. He sighed heavily as he leaned her forward and pulled her over shirt off of her as he put it near him, and then her gulped as he looked down at her jeans as he slowly reached for her belt. He undid it and pulled it loose as he lifted her legs with one of his hands while also pulling them up. Revealed her white panties with apples on them. he finished pulling them off of her and put them with the over shirt as he stood up before saying, "Time for you to rest while I help you." He then picked up her clothes and headed out, careful not to fall around the flith as a smile appeared on Applejack's face when here his voice.
After putting Applejack clothes in to wash, Spike went to work on cleaning the house starting with the living room and moved with such speed in cleaning that Dash would be jealous with it. He soon had the living room good as new while also doing the stairs. After that, he switched the laundry and then went to work on Applejack's room.
"Jeez, I hope she's okay." Spike said as he looked at her sleeping on the bed as he began to clean while also being careful not to wake her as she needed her rest. As he cleaned her room, Spike used his tail to swipe out what ever was under her bed and he felt something strange. He looked behind him curiously as he wrapped his tail around it and pulled it out, seeing it was a book. "Oh, Twilight would kill you if she found out you put a book on the floor." Spike said smiling as he picked it up from his tail and he looked it over gasping, as it was Applejack's diary. Spike looked at her and gulped as he slip it back under her bed before returning to cleaning when he heard a ding of the dryer. Spike headed down and was about to get them when he saw a few stallions outside. Confused, Spike quickly stepped out and walked towards them as he asked, "Excuse me, can I help you?" They turned to look at him as one in a suit walked up to him.
"Yes, my good sir." he said as he showed held a briefcase and smiled at Spike as he continued, "Do you know where Applejack is at this very moment?"
"Ummm, yes but she isn't able to see any visitors at this moment." Spike answered him while crossing his arms in front of them and looked at all of these stallions, wondering what on earth could these guys want with her.
"Well, I am sorry to here that." he said as he opened his briefcase and pulled out a piece of paper as he said, "Please make sure she gets this when she's able." Spike looked at the paper for a few seconds confused as to what was so important about it as he took it and looked it over, shocked at what he was reading.
"A foreclosure notice?" Spike asked out of pure shock as he looked from the paper to the stallion and said, "You can't be series."
"I am very series sir." the stallion said as he closed his briefcase as he looked around the farm as he continued, "If it is not made by Monday, the farm is ours." This news left Spike stunned as he looked at the paper in his hands and then looked at the stallion before him.
"Can I see the paper work?" Spike asked as the stallion looked at him curiously as he looked at the other stallions before he turned back to Spike.
"Do you know Applejack?" he asked as he was not ready to just hand this info to him as Spike let out a long sigh.
"Yes, I'm her friend and the assistant of Princess Twilight." Spike said as the stallion gulped before reaching into the briefcase and pulling out the paper work Spike asked for before they left. As he watched them leave Spike let out a long sigh as he looked at the paper work he had in his claw.
Applejack was resting soundly as she let out a loud yawn before she sat up and began to rub her eyes, smiling as she had needed a nap like that in such a long time. After a few seconds of stretching out her arms and legs, she quickly realized she was in her underwear, surprised at this.
"What on earth happened?" she asked as she looked around and then saw her clothes neatly folded on her dressed. Confused for a for moment, she rolled her legs over and stood up, then gasped as she looked down to see her room was clean as a whistle. All of this was confused Applejack more and more until she remembered that Spike was coming over to help her, and then blush covered her face as she realized Spike not only saw her like that but that he had to have undressed her.
"Oh good, your up." a voice said as she turned her head to the door and saw that Spike was standing there with a smile on his face as he continued, "I have dinner start, get dressed and come down if your ready. "He then left the door way and Applejack was left dumbfounded as to how she missed him checking on her. After a few seconds of thinking it over, she just shrugged and walked over to dressed, looking at the clothes as they were warm and she could smell how nice they were. She quickly got dressed and headed out of her room, and was left in a big state of shock as she saw that not only her was clean, but so was the living room. She smiled as she headed down the stairs, and she could smell the diner Spike had made as she walked into the kitchen, seeing a lot of eggs, veggies, and fruit cooked in many ways all across the table.
"H-How did you make all this?" she asked with a smile as she turned to the stove and saw Spike was still making something with his pink apron wrapped around him, which she never really minded as she sat down to the table and looked at everything on.
"You can go ahead and eat." Spike said smiling as he looked over his shoulder at her as he continued, "I'm finishing up some gems and will be joining you shortly."
"Then I will wait." Applejack said with a smile on her face as she put her hands in her lap, "It's rude not to wait for other before eating." Hearing this made Spike smile as he cocked for a few more minutes and then took a plate, pouring his many roasts gems on it and then placed it near his chair as he sat across from her. Once he was seat, Applejack thanked Spike for his work as she began to eat her food while Spike slowly ate his gems, looking at her with a hint on concern that he could not hide from her. "Spike, is something wrong sugarcube?" she asked him as she looked at him not really eating and wondered what was going on through his head as she bit an apple from her hand. Spike looked from his gem to her and let out a long sigh as he collected himself up before he confronted her.
"Applejack, a stallion from the bank came while you were passed out." he said with a hint of regret that he didn't tell her earlier what he had learned instead of letting her rest. Hearing those words from Spike made Applejack's heart sink as she swallowed the apple that was in her mouth and placed the rest on the plate before him.
"W-what did he tell you?" She asked him as she felt awful that Spike had to have learn about what was happening to the farm like that instead of by her own mouth.
"That if they aren't paid by Monday, you'll lose the farm." Spike answered her and watched to his horror as Applejack slumped in her chair as tears began to fill her eyes as he took a deep breath before he asked, "How did this all happen?"
"I don't know. Mac leaving to start a new family didn't help, Bloom growing up and needing help getting off her feet didn't do much either, and then all of Granny Smith's medical bills and funeral costs was to much for me to do on my own." she said as she was near tears with her head hung low and Spike listened to everything she was saying as she continued, "And I didn't want to mooch off my friends, so took out a loan without reading the fine print and I am at my wits end to do anything." At this point, Applejack was not fighting them back any more as Spike looked at her for a few minutes, just watching her as seeing her like this was hurting Spike more then he thought he would ever be hurt.
"Well, there are two ways to fix this." Spike began as he stood up and began to walk around the table as he continued "One is to ask Twilight for a loan, which will not be with interest and she would not care when you pay it off."
"No, I told you." she yelled out as her head shot up and she looked at him with tears running down her face as she continued, "I'm not having my friends do in my mess, even now."
"I know." Spike said smiling as he stood in front of her and placed his hands on her shoulder, shocking her as he wiped away some of the tears away from her beautiful green eyes as he continued, "Then we do two."
"W-which is?" she asked him as she stared back into his own set of green eyes and smiled as she could see caring in them, a caring that meant to help her no matter what.
"We do the best damn Apple Bucking Season ever and pay them off." he said with a proud smile on his face as he was ready to help her do this and she knew it by simply looking into his eyes.
"Y-You sure we can do it?" she asked as she was not sure if she was ready for this and wondered if it was even possible with all of the money she owed the bank.
"I did the math, and there is a way to do it." Spike said with a smile, which made Applejack smile back as he continued, "But it won't be easy, and we need you at full strength." Spike then stood up and turned her to look at the table as he added, "So, eat up and get rest." These word made Applejack tear up, but this time of joy as she picked up her gema dn took a large bite of it while Spike returned to his plate to enjoy his gems.
"Spike." she said out loud as he looked up from crunching on a ruby as she finished, "I just wanted to say, thank you for helping me."
"No problem Applejack, what are friends for?" he asked her smiled a she returned to eating his ruby and she returned to eating hr apples, loving how they were having a tender moment.
