Naruto was sleeping happily in his comfy bed, after a night of partying with his friends. He got to know them a little better and met new people. Applejack and he went back to the house to get some much needed rest. She showed him to the guest room where he would be staying and told him get some sleep since they would have to wake up early for work.
"HEY IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!" screamed a young girl's voice
Naruto was about to get up and tell her to be quiet when he felt something or someone land on his stomach. He opened his eyes to see what landed on him. It was little girl that was sitting on him. She had long red hair that was fashioned in a ponytail, tied with a big red bow and light orange eyes. She wore a yellow t-shirt with blue overalls and a pair of red sneakers.
"Five more minutes, the sun hasn't come up yet" whined Naruto covering his head with the pillow.
"No can do, big sis told me to tell you that it's time for you to work!" she lectured as she reached over and pulled off his blanket off of him.
"Fine, fine just get off of me please" he said as she got off his stomach
"By the way, who are you anyway?" he asked while stretched
"The name is Applebloom mister, what's your name?" she asked looking at him curiously
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki" he said with yawn "I'll be downstairs in a while, just got to change" he said waiting for her to leave
"Okay mister Naruto" said Applebloom running out of the room, Naruto got out of bed and walked over to the closet to get his clothes
While Naruto walked down stairs he could smell the delicious food coming from the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen where he saw an old lady, Applejack and a young man setting the table. The old lady's white hair was tied in a bun. Her eyes were light green and she had light pale skin. She was about 5'1, wearing a plated skirt a green shirt with white blanket over her shoulders and a pair of sandals.
The young man on the other hand was big, at least an inch taller than him. He had a physic of a hard worker. His dirty blond hair shone along with his medium green eyes. He has dark tan skin and some freckles with a small stubble. He wore a red plated shirt with jean pants, and brown cowboy shoes.
"Well hi there young fella, how did you sleep?" asked the old lady "My name's Granny Smith" she gave him a good look "My, aren't you a handsome young fella" she gave a sigh pinching his cheek "If only I was a youngen again."
Naruto felt a little embarrassed by the complement, but Applejack help him "C'mon Granny, stop embarrassing the new help" said as she and her went into the kitchen to get the food.
Naruto went and sat right next to the young man after the two left.
"Hey mister Naruto, meet my big brother, Macintosh" said Applebloom as she sat across from them, introducing the young man.
"Hey my name is Naruto" said Naruto, giving him a small wave
"Hi"
"So you work at Sweet Apple acres as well?"
"Eyup"
"So is it fun working at sweet apple acres?"
"Eyup"
"You're a man of few words aren't you?"
"Eyup"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...want to be friends?"
"Sure"
"Sweet" just as he said that Applejack and Granny Smith came back with a tray of pancakes, some apple fritters and a big glass of apple juice.
"Eat up everyone" said Applejack taking a seat and grabbing some apple fritters.
Everyone began to eat, just as Naruto was about to get pancake, Applebloom notice something about him.
"Oh my gosh!" screamed Applebloom, surprising everyone around the table "You don't have a cutie mark!"
"A cutie what now?" said Naruto giving her a questioning look
"A cutie mark!" she cried out again.
"What is that?" asked Naruto getting shock look from Applebloom. The grownups already knew why he didn't know about cutie marks, but they were still surprise that he didn't have one though.
"Well Naruto, this is what a cutie mark looks like" said Applejack as she took one of her gloves and showed Naruto the palm of her hand, Naruto looked as saw that it had three red apples on it "A cutie mark, is a special symbol that show up on the palms of the hands. It on shows up when the person had found their calling in life, it makes them unique and different from everyone else"
"So do they show up anywhere else?" he asked as kept looking at her cutie mark.
"No they only show up on your hands" she said putting her glove back and started to eat
"hehehe, image if it showed up on your butt cheek" said Applebloom giggling at the very thought of it showing up there of all places
"Yeah that would be weird, having your special talent show up on your rump" said Naruto chuckling about it as well
"But I don't really care where it shows up as long as I finally get my soon" she said with determination in her eyes
"Now Applebloom, how many times do I need to tell you, you need to be patient" said Granny Smith giving her a smile, happy about Applebloom's enthusiasm.
"But I want it now" whined Applebloom looking at her hands sadly
"You'll get yours, just wait" said Applejack patting her little sister on the head. "So Naruto ready get to work" said Applejack then she frowned a bit "I don't want any slackers working on the farm, so if I catch you slacking off your duties your out of here, got it?"
"Yes ma'me"
"Good"
When finally finished with breakfast, Macintosh took Applebloom to school, while Granny went to take nap, leaving Applejack to take Naruto out on the field to teach him on what he has to do for his job.
"So Naruto what do you think about harvesting apples" asked Applejack as she and Naruto walked up on one of the apple trees while Naruto was carrying some baskets
"That it might be an easy job"
"Well then guess what it's not" She said gaining frown then looked out a tall of the trees that is on her family's farm "it's a lot of hard work, especially when you have as many trees as my family do"
"You got that right" muttered Naruto as he was still amazed by all of the apple trees they had "So you want me to pick all of the apples"
"Well you could do that, but it will take too long, try to do it this way"
She walked up to the tree "put the baskets around the tree Naruto"
He did what he was told "Now stand back" she reared fist back and gave it a punch. The tree gave small shake, but instead of falling like before, all of the apples on the tree had fallen instead and perfectly inside the baskets. Naruto was again shocked and amazed by this display "Impressive"
Applejack blushed by the praise she was receiving "Aww shucks it was nothing, anyway try to get all of the apples in the basket when you hit the tree, to do it you have to make sure you hit certain spots on the tree and how much strength you put into it, now give it a try"
Naruto went up to the tree; he punched the tree as hard as he could what happen next they did not see coming. When his fist made contact with the tree the top half of the tree was literary ripped off, went sailing right across the farm and into the Everfree forest.
Applejack was completely and utterly shocked by what she just witness. Part of her wanted to deny on what she just saw and that a stray lighting cloud hit the tree and took it. Even Naruto was shocked at what he had done as well.
"Did I... do that?" said Naruto as he kept staring at where the tree flew off, then he got a panicked look as started to bow repeatedly to Applejack
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Applejack, I didn't mean to destroy one of your trees"
Applejack was finally able to snap out of her shock "It's fine Naruto I know it was an accident, you didn't mean it" she said calming down Naruto "Anyway Naruto, I have never seen some have that much strength before, maybe you should just pick the apples until we help you control your strength" said Applejack
"Um sure" he said as he climbed one of the trees to pick the apples, leaving Applejack to her thoughts 'I have never seen some one with so much strength, Macintosh was considered the strongest one in town, but Naruto pretty much blew him out of the water in that department'
She just stared at Naruto as he finished picking all of the apples off the tree 'Naruto, who or what are you?'
"Hey Naruto is quitting time" yelled Applejack as she walked to where Naruto.
Applejack had to admit that Naruto was a hard worker, even more then her. He was able to pick enough apples to fill up at least 100 baskets, which were pretty good considering that he was doing it all by hand.
"Got it boss" said Naruto as finished picking the last apples from the tree he was on, showing no sign of him be tired at all.
Naruto walked to where Applejack was.
"So how did I do on the first day on the job?"
"You did great Naruto, you're hired"
"Really?! Awesome" said Naruto giving a whoop with joy
"Can you come and help me get the cart out from the barn"
"Sure"
After they got the cart out of the barn, Applejack took Naruto to town with her. She told him he can do whatever he want for a little since he was still on his break. So pretty much, Naruto just walked around town doing nothing, until he heard someone calling out his name.
"Hey Naruto" he turned around and saw a familiar blue hair DJ. She was still wearing the same outfit from yesterday
"What is up man?" She said with grin, giving Naruto a high five
Naruto returned the high five "Hey Vinyl, how's it going?"
"Nothing much, just coming back from lunch" she said lifting a bag of take out "Anyway that was some party last night, huh?"
"Yeah Pinkie Pie really knows how to throw a party" he said "And nothing much, just walking around, checking out the place"
"Really? Want to come with me to my store? You get to finally meet my roommate" she offered
"Sure got nothing else to do"
"Cool, let's go"
When they got to Vinyl store, Naruto thought the place looked cool. It was a medium size building, painted dark cyan blue with dark purple waves on the left side with the lyrics in the waves. On the other side there was a window that showed a few instruments, surrounded by a splash dark purple. On the top of the store was a record with a scratch on the right side with words on it that said Scratch Music.
"Cool place" commented Naruto, his eyes wandered all over in fascination
"Thanks" She said as she opened the door "Yo Octy, I'm back, and you got to meet a new friend of mine" yelled Vinyl "And I also brought you your lunch"
Naruto and her step inside where a young lady was seated behind the counter. Just like Rarity she had seemed to have an air of elegance about her. She had black hair that reached her to her lower back, dark pink eyes with a hard gaze. She had flawless tan skin with a heart shape face. She was wearing a white blouse, with a black vest over it, and grey-brown dress pants.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that, Vinyl?"
"Oh come on Octy, it's a good nickname and I know you like it" she said as she went into the back, behind the counter, before giving her lunch "Anyway, come meet my new friend, Naruto Uzumaki"
"Hello" said Naruto, giving a small wave at her
"Yes, um, hello" she said as she put down her tray, and gave a small cough clearing her throat "My name is Octavia, I am Vinyl's roommate, It is nice to meet you" extending her hand, which Naruto shook
"What'd I tell you, up-tight" said Vinyl ignoring the annoyed glare that Octavia was boring into the back of her head
"You better have got the right order this time" she grumbled letting the comment go for now as she was opening her tray to check the food
"Yeah, yeah I got the right order" waving dismissively at Octavia, heading to the back of the room, leaving Naruto and Octavia by themselves
"So" started Octavia breaking the silence in the room "How did you and Vinyl meet Naruto"
"We met at a party, that pinkie pie threw to welcome me into town" he said as he started to look around the store at the various items.
"Really" Octavia said as she started to eat her food "Sorry, I couldn't be there, I just came back last night from playing at a concert in Canterlot"
"That's okay" said Naruto, leaning on the counter "So... uh... what do you play?"
"I play classical music and the cello"
Just when they were going to talk more, Vinyl came back carrying two cokes and a water bottle. She threw one at Naruto who caught it easily and handed one to Octavia, who gave her a small thank you
"So Naruto what have you been up too?" asked Vinyl, taking a seat next to Octavia propping her feet's on the counter, but put them back down when Octavia was glaring at her.
"Well I started to work on Applejacks farm and I met her family, they were really friendly" said Naruto
"Yeah, they really are good people" said Vinyl sipping her coke
"So Naruto what is applejack making you do?" asked Octavia as she threw her food into the trash
"She made me pick apples" he said, taking a sip from his coke
"Oh so you bucking apples?" asked Vinyl
"Bucking...apples?" he asked confusingly
"Yeah, you know when you hit the tree and all of the apples fall into the bucket"
"oh yeaaah" said Naruto finally realizing what she mean but then had sheepish smile "I did do that the first time, then she just made me pick the apples by hand"
"Why?" asked Vinyl a little curios, Octavia looked a little curios as well
"Weeelll... I sort of... accidently... sent one of the trees into the forest" he said as he scratching his head
Vinyl and Octavia sat there in silent surprise on exactly on what they heard
"You're joking right?" as she was the first one to break the silence, Naruto just shook his head
"THAT'S INSANE!" she screamed and started to laugh out loud, like she just heard the a funny joke, surprising Naruto by her reaction and snapping Octavia out of her shock "Man, I bet the look on Applejacks face was priceless when you sent one of her trees flying, in fact i wish was there to see it happen, it would've been more funny" she laughed again "Hey Naruto, wanna hear a funny story?"
"Sure"
"Well when me and Octavia went on vacation, we-" she was interrupted by Octavia covered her mouth. She had blush on her face, glaring daggers at Vinyl, who started to sweat a bit from it
"We agreed to never speak of that incident ever again" she hissed
"W-we did?" Vinyl asked
"Yes" she said simply, and then she turned back to Naruto who was looking at them strangely
"So anyway Naruto what kind of hobbies do you have"
"I don't have any" he said as he got in a thinking pose before shrugged his shoulders "At least I don't think so"
"Do you wanna try to play some music? Who knows maybe that's one of your hobbies" suggested Vinyl
"Sure why not."
"Okay" said Vinyl as she brought Naruto to the case that was holding the instruments, and showed him all of them "So what kind of instruments do you want to learn?"
Naruto looked through all of them and stared at the guitars "Can I try learning that one?" he said as he pointed at one them
"Sure, which do you want to use, Acoustic or Electric?" she said holding each one
"I'll go with acoustic don't want to make too much of a racket at Applejack's home" he said as Vinyl handed him the acoustic guitar.
"So where do we start?" he asked.
"Oh sorry man, I'm not the one that is going to teach you, I only know how to use the DJ and on occasions, the drums as well."
Naruto turned to look at Octavia, wondering if she is going to teach him.
"I'm sorry to say but I only teach bowed instruments" she told him when she noticed him looking at her.
"Then who is going to teach me how to use this?"
"Don't worry, he is in the back sleeping, I'll go get him" said Vinyl as she went into the back room. Naruto hear some small talk and a low groan. Vinyl came out soon after along with a short young man maybe near his twenties 5'4 or 5'3. He had shaggy black hair with dark brown eyes with dark circles under them. He had uneven tan skin, some part of him was light other parts where pale. He was wearing a plain black shirt, black baggy pants with a pair of black strapped sandals.
"So you're the one who wants to learn how to play a guitar, right?" he droned out groggily as he was still waking up from his sleep
"Um... yeah"
The young man started at him for a few seconds with a blank look. Naruto was starting to feel nervous from the look he was receiving "Ok, fine, let me go get my stuff" he finally said with a huff and went back into the backroom.
Naruto released the breath he didn't know he was holding "Sorry about his attitude, he's always so grumpy when he wakes up from his sleep, but he is really nice guy once you get to know him" apologized Vinyl with sheepish smile.
"It's fine, not everyone can be a morning person"
The young man finally came back carrying a black acoustic guitar and two stools.
"Okay then let's get started" he said handing Naruto a stool.
"Thank you... um... what your name?" he asked scratch his head in embarassment for not asking his name sooner.
"Shigiya" he said simply "Yours?"
"Naruto Uzumaki"
Shigiya had been teaching Naruto how to play the guitar for a while. At first Naruto had no idea what the hell he was doing at first: he kept pulling the wrong note, he kept putting his fingers on the wrong place, and one time, he pulled the string to hard that he rip the cord. But after a while, under Shigiya teaching he was able to finally get the hang of it.
"Now you're getting it" said Vinyl as she and Octavia watched them play a tune together, Octavia stood up to leave and gave them a small goodbye. Naruto didn't notice her leaving as he was too focused on his lessons.
"Yeah, sure" said Naruto as he tried to keep up with Shigiya. As they were playing for a while, Naruto was focusing on hitting the right notes.
"You're really getting into it" commented Vinyl, noticeing how determine Naruto was on playing the guitar. She stop playing the tune, which prompt Naruto to stop as well.
"You keep on playing, I'll be right back just need to go get something" she said as she went to the back of the room. Naruto just nodded went back to what he was, but just as he was going to start another tune, he heard the bell from the ring.
"Hey Naruto, been looking for you all over the place, didn't expect you to be here though" said Applejack as she looked all of the stuff in the store before landing her eyes onto him.
"I met up with Vinyl when I was walking around town, and she invited me over" he told her, placing down the guitar onto the counter.
"And the guitar?" she asked looking at the guitar.
"Vinyl offered to teach me how to play it and Shigiya tught me how to play it."
"Oh, that was nice of them, but who is Shigiya?"
"That's me" said Shigiya appearing behind Naruto, giving her a small wave.
"Hi there, nice to meet you" offering him a handshake. Shigiya looked at for a while before finally taking it.
"Well now that everyone" commmeted Vinyl, finally coming out from carrying something in her hands "So Applejack, how's it hanging?"
"Pretty good, just teaching the new guy how to the work" replied Applejack
As the girls were talking Naruto went to put the guitar back on to its rack, but was stop by Vinyl. She handed him the item that she had brought out, it was black guitar bag Naruto looked at the bag,confused, and looked back at Vinyl, wordering what it was for.
"What are staring at me for? Put your guitar in the bag and get going you have work" said Vinyl, handing him the bag, and walked back to her counter.
"My guitar?" asked Naruto a little confused at what she was implying
"What are you, deaf?" Joked Vinyl who had a big grin on her face "Yeah it yours dude, I'm giving it to you"
"But why?" asked Naruto feeling a bit unsure about the gift he was receving.
"You have potential with it, got a better hang of it you're faster than most people that I taught, and you're a good friend as well" ansewred Shigiya looking at Naruto as he started to put the guitar in the bag "And who knows, maybe you and I could make some good music together, if you practice some more"
"Thanks Vinyl, Shigiya" said Naruto, happily getting a new guitar "How can I ever repay you two?"
"Don't worry about" said Vinyl.
"Yeah, man it's fine" said Shigiya aswell.
"No really I want to repay you for this, I don't have any money to pay you back right now, but I can do whatever you want me to do."
"Well when you say like that..." said Vinyl as she rubbed her chin complicating on what to do with this kind of turn of events "How about you just owe me a couple of favors, how does that sound"
"Yeah sure Vinyl" said Naruto as he hoisted the his guitar on to his back.
"And remeber to come back sometime for more lesson, but don't come to early though" said Shigiya.
"Come on Naruto, we're already late for Granny Smith dinner, let's go" said Applejack impatently, grabbing his hand.
"See ya later Vinyl, Shigiya"
"See ya guys" said Vinyl as she and Shigiya waved them goodbye
Naruto and Applejack were walked back to the farm. Naruto was dragging the cart back while Applejack carried his guitar.
"So what made you want to play guitar Naruto?" asked Applejack adjusting the guitar a bit make it more comfortable to carry.
"Well Vinyl just offered to teach how to play, I just thought why not"
"Did you enjoy playing?"
"Yeah, it was kind of fun, might start playing more often, I hope you don't mind the noise"
"Nah, as long you don't cause too much of a racket it's fine"
"Do you plan to make your own music?"
"Maybe, but first I need to learn how to play it"
"Well, I can't wait to hear what kind of music you make"
"Yeah"
Naruto and Applejack walked in silence back to the farm and Naruto's new home. Naruto couldn't help but wonder what was in store for him in the future.
