Just as I have thought, 1 hour and 23 minutes later, thanks to my watch for the time. I left the last few trees of the Everfree and walked into sunshine. I winced a bit, but opened them after my eyes adjusted. I appeared to be near a farm. Sweet Apple Acres, if my memory serves.
I looked around, only seeing a few ponies. I trotted up the dirt path the Ponyville. I had some time to waste. The prom didn't start till 7:30 pm and it was only about 6:00 pm. Should try to find a job if I didn't want to return. I need the money.
I am somewhat fit, average is the better word. I could work on Sweet Apple Acres. I mean… how hard could it be?
I trotted off the dirt path onto another path leading up to a barn on the land. I peeked in as soon as I got up there.
"Um….Hello?"
No answer. So I went to the other building on the property, the house. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer. I didn't have to wait long, the door opened to a mare, pretty young. I knew her; we were good pals around town, even though she wasn't in school anymore.
"Oh Hi Applebloom!"
"Howdy 'Tal."
She always called my by 'tal', instead of, "Metal Hoof." I didn't mind to much. She said her family always gave nicknames to friends.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing 'eally. We're just 'bout to eat. Wanna join?"
I would've said "yes", I was hungry, but they said at the prom invite there would be food. And another reason was that once you go in, you won't leave till like the next day. Never ask what their family tree is. I got lucky and talked my way out after about ten or so hours.
"Maybe later. It's my prom today."
"'Forgot 'hat was today. 'Aybe next time?"
I nodded, "Sure, but I came here to ask you something."
"'hat is it?"
"I'm…lets say I'm unemployed…and lets just say, as well, I'm looking for a job…"
"Ah! You 'ant a job working 'ere?"
"I am…" I nodded again. Her country accent was making a bit hard to understand her.
"Well…you're 'ired!"
'That was fast…' I thought. "Well…thanks! When do I start?"
"To 'morrow morning when the 'un rises."
"Alright. See you till then?"
"You bet'"
I smiled and waved off. She waved back and closed the door. I remember how Applejack, her sister, had told me how persistent she was when she was younger in getting her cutiemark. Now, she has her cutiemark, the same cutiemark as Applejack, except theirs 4 apples and they zap apples. Rainbow apples if I heard her say correctly. She can tell when they will come. Some other junk I couldn't understand.
I looked at my watch as soon as I left the property, 6:12 pm. Gah! Only 12 minutes. I needed to waste more time… but what?
ALRIGHT! Pt. 2 of Pt. 4 Is done. Chapter 2 is only half-way finish Gaaaaaaah!
I need some ideas on what Metal, or ForestFang, should go to or do what next. PM me or leave a review saying!
THANKS! ^_^
