(AU) I would like to thank BigBadFluttershy for the constructive criticism, otherwise this chapter wouldnt of turned out so well. :) So thanks!
I started stirring in my sleep feeling myself gain a little bit of consciences. "Ugh", Man if there's one thing I like most about this house, its the bed. Definitely the bed. As I opened my eyes I was greeted with the nice smell of a new room, I saw a white ceiling with blue walls and a Travis Pastrana poster on my wall, along with a white night stand to my right and a night light that gave the room a nice cyan glow, my shades were closed so it was still slightly dark in my room.
I unplugged my iPhone from its charger and checked the time, 7:32 "Gotta leave in half an hour" I stated quietly, well should probably get a head start because I'll probably be a little slow this morning. I went over to my dresser with all my trophies on it and opened my shirt compartment and put on a white Abercrombie & fitch shirt, along with a pair of dark blue jeans, white socks and some old work boots. But before I put my work boots on i did my morning stretches, I stretched my biceps and triceps, my legs, shoulders and neck muscles. Finally I put on my work boots and headed down stairs to eat breakfast.
I opened my door and exited my room, I went down the hallway and down the stairs to the kitchen. Man I really don't feel like cooking this morning, I think I'll just have a bowl of cereal. I then went into our pantry and got a bag of corn flakes, I opened our refrigerator and got the milk, after i got a bowl I reached out in front of me to get a banana in our fruit bowl. I proceeded to peel it and take a knife and slice into pieces over my cereal. I sat down at our island with a marble top and began to enjoy my breakfast, I noticed a not my dad had left me on the island counter top, it said : "Ryan behave and don't act like a prick, got it!?" "I went to my new job so I wont be back home until tomorrow, BE SAFE! And keep tidy." "Hmm" I mumbled, "looks like I got the house to my self today, sweeeeet." Well until I get back from sweet apple acres that is.
I then headed out the door, hoping this would only take a little while. I opened the main garage door and headed over to my bike, I got on it and gave it a couple kicks then it started, I smiled and said "Man I love the sound of this thing!" My smile faded as fast as it came as I heard the RPM's come up and then it died, "God damnit! What could that possibly be!?" I then realized I rode this thing a lot yesterday, its probably out of gas. I thought, I opened the tank cap and looked inside," damnit its dry." I said,
But then a thought hit me, I wonder if dad took the business car, or the fun car? I went to our second garage and once entering a big smile came on my face, there sat my dads 2012 ZL1 Camaro, it is blue in color with red racing stripes,and really meaty tires in the back and to top it off it had an extra wide body kit. Well technically its mine, or that's what I say cause I use it way more than my dad does. I raced into to the car and started up the engine, I then heard 560+ horse power break loose. "It feels good, it feels good." I said, I put the shifter into reverse and hit the gas a little hard and let the low growling of the engine just sink into my mind. "Man this thing is awesome!" I yelled as I was backing out of the garage, I put the shifter in first and headed out to sweet apple acres!
I was getting close to the drive way of sweet apple acres and I had an idea, a devilish smile came across my face as shifted down to 4th and punched the gas, starting a power slide into there driveway. Thankfully no one saw me,
I was in 2nd gear a low RPM going about 12 Mph, the car was mildly shaking from the low growl of the beast that was stored in the front.I slowly pulled into a parking space in there driveway, yea sure slowly...But in style. I gave a little rev for extra awesomeness before I shut it off. I then opened the door and and walked up to the house.
It was a nice looking house, lets just say it was barnish. I knocked on the wooden door of the house. A couple seconds later I was greeted with a lady maybe in her mid late 70's, "Why hello there, My name is Granny Smith, are you are new helper?" She said, " I,m Ryan and Yes I am, What can I do first?" I asked
"Well if ya could ju,s go over by the barn Big Mack will tell ya what to do."She replied,
"Ok, I,ll go do that then," with that being said I went of in the direction of the barn, as I walked up I noticed it was very well kept, and of course red with white out line on it, I walked through the big double sliding doors that were already open and was greeted with a familiar face, "Well howdy there!" Said Big Mack,
"Hey, hows it going." I asked, "Well its a'goin."said Mack while laughing a little, I also shared a little laugh.
"What can I do first?" I asked, "Well you an AJ here can take these bails of hay and bring em to that pasture over there, AJ will be here in a bit,"
All the sudden we heard "Ah'm here!" from behind the barn, about one second later Applejack walked in the barn, Her face was OH SHIT I'M LATE, to utter disgust when she saw me.
Apple jack walked over to big Mack now facing me, "What is HE doin here!?" She spat, Big Mack nudged his sister in the arm probably for being rude,
"He,s helpin us out fer a couple weeks." He replied, "Why!?" Applejack responded, "Because hes a nice person." Said Mack putting emphasis on "nice",
"Bu- "Applejack was cut off by her older brother, "AJ do you WANT to do all this work by yer self?" "Well... n-" "That,s what I thought, now you two get ta work
With that being said he left, leaving me and Applejack.
"Alright so... All we need to d- I couldn't finish my sentence because i was cut off by AJ who grabbed me by the shirt and pinned me against the barn wall,
"You listen here!" she stated, "I know yer type city boy!" Yer the type do try and do funny business behind are backs!"You think yer so cool coming up in yer fancy pancy car!" "Well I,m gonna tell ya this and one time only! If you try anything funny, I will kick your butt SO HARD, Your whole family will pity ya!"
After she said that last sentence I thought i was gonna lose it, just let pure rage control my body, but all the sudden I felt saddened, then I had guilt come over my whole body.
All I could muster up to say was, "I don't think they would." I then grabbed her arms gently but firmly, and picked her up and moved her out of my way. I walked over to the hay bails and picked one up in each arm and walked away with a single tear running down my face, and I continued on with my job.
Once I was finally done with my job, my hands were hurting pretty badly from the twine digging into my fingers. Man how do they keep this up every day? I thought to myself, I heard a familiar old voice call out "I got lemonade ready if any of ya want a break!" Yes! I thought, Finally a break! I walked in between the house and the barn and saw granny smith with lemonade on a white collapsible table, I also noticed I had sweated really bad do to it being like 80 degrees. AJ and Mack were there as well sipping on lemonade, I grabbed a lemonade and guzzled it down.
"Well looks like some one was working hard." He said, I could tell by the on AJ's face she was saying "Ya right!" in her head. After we were done idle chatting and sipping on lemonade AJ piped up,"Well city boy you and I have to go feed the swine (pigs)." I just nodded not knowing what to say, its not like i can say no.
Me and AJ were carrying buckets of compost to the pigs, I entered with yet another bucket, "God do you pigs ever stop eating!? I said, I then left to go get another bucket but made a terrible mistake, I realized this when I was about 50 feet away, "WHAT IN TARNATION!?" I heard applejack yell, "THE PIGS ARE LOOSE!"
Awww SHHHIIIIT! I thought to myself, I saw applejack go zooming by me chasing a pig, thankfully that was the only pig that got out before applejack closed the gate.
I made hot pursuit after the pig tailing apple jack, "You go around the house and corner it!" She yelled, I did as I was told and went around the house, I smiled as I saw applejack chasing the pig toward me, I thought the pig would stop in front of me, but no it full on plowed right into my legs making me fall backwards, so I got and started making pursuit again saying "THAT LITTLE SHIT!"
I was running as fast as my legs could carry me, I was disparately trying to chase it back into its kennel, finally it was going in that direction until it made a sharp right at the compost pile, i tried to do the same but slipped, and I ended up falling face first into the compost pile.
I pulled myself out of the compost pile seeing AJ putting that fat bastard in the pig fence were it belonged. I stood up and looked down only to see my very expensive shirt ruined by the compost. "Ugh... I dont even know why I wore it when I knew I was going to be working". Big Mack walked up to me and said, "Well I'll get tha hose."
There I was, getting soaked by AJ who seemed to be enjoying this way to much. She kept spraying me down on my stomach then my face, my stomach now my face, " "APPLEJACK IM PRETTY SH-PWHAA!" "Will you stop spraying me in the face!?" She just rolled her eyes and shrugged it off as she set the house down. A devilish smile once again came accros my face, I picked up the hose and pointed it at my target... AJ I pulled the palm trigger and held it as I soaked apple jack with water, She turned around to face me with her mouth hanging open and a surprised and pissed off look on her face. "Why you little VARMIT!" She started chasing me in hot pursuit "IM GONNA KILL YOU! She screamed, I was literally running for my life! I could feel my legs burning due to me chasing the pig earlier, I booked it into the barn right as applejack leaped... LEAPED and tackled me to the ground, She was right on top of me and we locked eyes, I got so absorbed into those big beautiful emarald eyes. I looked down and could see her cleavage and bra, I quickly looked up not wanting AJ knowing I was checking her out. She was still on top of me and she neared her lips toward mine, OH GOD! WHAT DO I DO!? I thought, I then heard an unfamiliar voice call out and getting closer to the barn we were in. It sounded real young? I saw applejacks emarald eyes grow as wide as dinner plates, she looked over her shoulder and started getting up as a little girl probably 9 came into view, Oh god's no.I thought. "Sis lunch is re- applejacks sister apparently saw us and didnt know what was going on, "U-uhh sis what'er ya doin?" She asked.
"Applebloom!" Ya cant just sneek up on me like that!" She said obviously annoyed, " "Ahh sis what were ya doin to this mister here?" She sai whilst I was getting up, I w-was tellin h-him somthin, she said nervous, "While layin on top of him?" Applebloom retorted, "No yes, Lets just get some lunch!" AJ finally finished,
The three of us finally made it into the house, it had a real comfy homly feeling to it, I was standing on a old but nicley polished wood floor the walls were brownish red and the ceiling was a light beige. Here was a sofa up against the wall and a recliner chair on the oppisite side in the corner.
"Applejack how'd you get so wet!?" Granny smith asked, "W-well when I dropped the hose i accedintly stepped on the nozzle and sprayed mahself." she lied, "Well why dont'cha be more careful next time."said granny smith as apple jack went upstairs probably to get changed.
I was left with an awkward situation as I sat down on the sofa, Granny Smith was cooki g what looked like some kind of stew, it smelled really good to. I was cut off of my thoughts as big mack entered the room and sat down in the recliner chair in the living room.
"So" Mack started, "what do ya do fer hobbies?" "Huh? Oh I fix stuff." I said plainly, "Well what kinda "stuff" do ya fix?" "Usually I fix small engines nothing big." I stated, "Is that so... Big mack started, "Say Iv'e gotta old bike that needs some fixin upin, do ya think ya can take a peek at it some time?" "sure I'll see what I can do."
I could tell Mack was gonna respond but granny smith interjected and yelled "Soups on!" "Thank the heavens im starvin!" Said mack while getting up and picking up a bowl' "Now now dear, Ryan is our guest he should go first." Granny said whilst AJ came down stairs, "Oh I'm sorry granny yer right were are my manners, Ryan you go ahead," "Awwww. Whined applebloom, I wanted to go first." "No thats fine you guys go ahead, I dont want to get in the way." I quickly interjected, "If ya say so." Said mack,
I was standing in line with AJ and applebloom in front of me. Applebloom was currently dishing up and mack was in the living room in his recliner already eating. Once me and AJ were done dishing up I sat on the sofa with her on the opposite end and applebloom in between us. Granny smith was in in the kitchen, (and yes im eating by now)
"So Ryan" Granny smith started, do ya have any family?" I gulped as my eyes widened in fear, "Y-yeah my dad jacob, and my mom sarah, but ahh my parents are...divorced. I said nervously, "Oh I'm sorry ta hear that." Granny said with a hint of concern in her voice. "Its ok" I responded, "Do ya have any siblings?" I just about spat out my stew when she said that, "I-I a-ahh had a sister... She ahh passed away a year ago." I said with guilt in my voice, "Oh my... That must be so hard on ya, I betchya miss her." She said, this time with alot of concern in her voice. "Yea... I do... Alot." I responded almost breaking out in tears. Mack and AJ had there mouths hanging open the whole time and I dont even know where applebloom was.
"Well it was nice coming over, thanks for the stew miss apple." I said, "Oh no problem shugah. We all said our goodbye's and I headed out the door.
"Applejack go apalogize to him right now." Said big mack "What do ya mean brother." asked AJ playing dumb, "Dont you play dumb with me! I saw how you treated that poor fella and it aint fair to him!" "Bu- "No buts"Mack said whilts cutting off AJ. "Fine!" she responded.
I opened the door of my car and got in turning on the engine and hearing the howling V8 come to life lifted up my spirits a bit. I was about to put the shifter in reverse but stopped when I noticed applejack running towads me. I was about to get out but was surprised when she opened the door and sat down in my 2,500$ racing seat.
"Ryan" listen, I'm really sorry bout taday, I acted like a jerk towards you and im sorry." She said with guilt in here voice. "Its o- "Jus lemme finish please." She said whilst cutting me off almost sounding desperate. "Iv'e had some troubles in the past with boys like yerself, In school they would say I had a stupid accent or I was a hick jus cause I worked and lived on a farm. An thats why I treated ya that way is cause I thought ya'll were like them kids.
"It is very much alright applejack, I understand completely." I said trying to sound comforting, "Ya do?" She said sounding relieved, "Yes completely. Applejack... Do you know why they called you all those names?" "Well I have a pretty good idea... Why? "Its because there insecure, they make themselves look better by bulling other kids, its just down right selfiish. You just happened to be one of there victems. Its nothing to be ashamed of, you should feel bad for them really." "Ryan thank you so much fer comfertin me! I dont know how I could repay you fer bein so nice ta me!" She said happily while leaning over and hugging me. "Your very welcome, and you dont have to repay me, thats what freinds are for right?" Ya I guess yer right." She said with a smile on her face.
Apple jack hugged me once more and I gladly accepted the embrace. "Bye Ryan." She said before breaking the embrace, "See ya later AJ."
She then got out of the car shut the door and ran back to the house. I then put the shifter into reverse with one thing on mind... My new freind, Applejack.
