Spike was in the the barn with Applejack sitting on a bail of hay and talking.
"so was Cain right your family died?" Applejack said.
"Yes I just said I lived with my grandparents to be left alone, so people didn't pestir me but they died in the plane crash to" Spike told her.
"But the truth is I live alone" he said softly.
"When did yah lose them?"
"When I was still 6, been on my own ever since" "And the house that I lived in nasty people wanted to move in and I didn't know how to handle it so I did the only thing I thought to do to not allow people ruin what my parents built, I got my dads guns and bow and arrows, then had my parents and family's money since I was the only one related to them transferred into my account and a family friends got two new boats and gave me one for free then a sailed away after I burnt the house to the ground, then sailed for many for a week til I was 1000's and 1000's of miles away from civilization and lived in the bush for 10 years where I spent my days repair myself" Spike told her.
"But how did yah make it, I mean no one can live like that when their still 6 and survive" Applejack asked.
"Because I wasn't my father always had survival handbooks in the house" Spike told her.
"The ones in your room?" she said.
"Yep and used them for my life in the bush, I paid for some lumber brought to my land and built into a house and they did but I didn't tell them my name but they didn't care because I paid them in cash" Spike said "Then I lived a couple years in their and one I had enough strength since I built it up for a few years and went across the world in my boat and built things to keep me warm in the winter because it gets cold and the same for summer it gets hot"
"I cant complain what I did on my own, I built a pump system linked to a creak and lots of animal and fish to hunt and catch" Spike said "when I was 8 I built a smoke house and installed a wood stove made a bed frame with tools I bought and got a mattress got cabinets for myself to put my stuff in one for my guns and knives and box for bullets and another for my hunting clothes and supplies for cleaning myself because bush people don't live like a neanderthal they still bath but twice every after every two weeks built a dryer out of scrap" he said "I even made an old fashion bow and arrows out of sticks"
"First years I survived and then I lived in the bush and felt it was my home and grew into the person you see before you" Spike smirked "But I won't lie it was rough at first, life was nether easy or hard" he said.
"Uh can I see" Applejack asked reaching the top of his button up workshirt, Spike nodded she unbuttoned his shirt all the way to the body where his muscular but scarred chest and the other scars on his front, Spike took her hand and placed them on claw marks "Bear claws" he said, he moved to the slash marks "Other knives slashes" he said the other on his side.
"Stingray slow to heal and painful to wash the venom out and keep it from infections" He said, then ones on my back knifes and an asshole with a broken bottle" Spike grumbled, then took her hand placed it on the scar on his face.
"One I was really lucky chain saw blade, it broke but stop but still had enough kick to leave a slash and big one of that, lucky I tilted my head because it was heading towards my eye and there was when I was sick, wild onions and garlic my remedy" Spike told her, then pulled her hand away but she kept it on his face rubbing the scar with her fingers.
"And four years a came out of the bush and came back but remained in the woods for three years and then I went to school and was doing great but I was a tougher colder and bitter person when I came out no one came near because my outer exterior but Comet and the other saw through it and they became my friends but the day dropped out of school because of my blackmark I got last year"
"What did you do?"
"Defending Koda who was the smallest of us than he is now, people from a rival school were jealous for Koda's skill of basketball and ganged up on him he was barely awake and I when I saw what was happening I exploded on them put them in the hospital and one in a fullbody cast for almost half a year, then I was placed in a cop car and accused of attacking 8 people and I was livid I erupted on them but I didn't hit them the years of being only one in the bush for 10 years with no family and people and their actions were so overpowering they blazed so hot I actually wasn't aware of what happening but the angry words and hurtful words that came from my mouth and of course that went well but they people who I helped in the past plus my boys stood up for me and the police dropped the charges but it was too late the false story and my violent outburst and poisonous words worked against me and they already put a black mark on the record, then the story was out and people didn't even look at me except my boys, I dropped out and vanished again for another year" Spike said "Then I came out when I was in town and person from the girl school gave me an offer and I said yes" he said.
"Thats my story of my past" Spike huffed "But maybe people were right about me I'm not a good person I mean the scum that came on my land yes they were armed but I still killed them and felt nothing" Spike looked at Applejack with a solemn look and got up.
"Now you know what kind of person I am, a person with no family and cold and bitter person" Spike spat, then walked away. But he felt a hand on his pulling him back, he looked and saw Applejack holding his hand and stood up and looked into his eyes.
"And your looking to see what I am" Spike said.
"I am but I don't see anything bad" Applejack smiled "Yah had tah do what it took to survive in the bush even taking a life, I could tell there is a small part that regrets it" she said.
"Your name is Spike Drake and one of my best friends" She said rubbing the scar with her thumb.
"A scarred friend" Spike pointed out "I did die on the in side each day on my land and I know I built myself up but I am not the same that one died someone new came out" he said.
"You may have jagged wounds I lost my parents when I was young to but I got over by talking" Applejack said.
"I just shut my family out, I can't even remember what they looked like" Spike said.
"And your not cold your a warm person a feel it on the outside"
"Insides a different story"
"Then let me help" Applejack smirked and pulled him into a tight hug, he then hugged her back with a small smile
"Thanks for being honest" Applejack whispered in his ear.
"I think we should get back to the dorm they will be wondering where we are" Spike said.
"I agree" she agreed, then she drove them to the dorms.
Applejack pulled up the driveway of the boys dorm.
"Hey Applejack you want to see something breath taking?" Spike said, Applejack raised her eyebrow.
"Not that" Spike said quickly shaking his head, he then went into the garage and pushed out his Harley. He ran up stairs and changed in jeans a purple shirt and leather jacket and got on it and turned it on.
"Here you can have my spare" Spike said tossed her his helmet.
"Don't worry it's safe" Spike told her, she exhaled and put the helmet on over her hat, Spike scooted up an inch and Applejack slipped behind him and sat behind him it was tight fit and Spike turned the motorcycle on it roared making Applejack squeak a bit and wrap her arms around his upper body and kicked up the stand and drove down the drive way, he leaned and twerked the throttle and it roared and he turned and Bolted down the street.
