I check my ff account twice a day. The first time I check, there's like one new review, but the second time there's like a million new ones. It's weird. So… Snails or Big Macintosh… Big Mac it is. Here we go.
A Real Mare
Big Macintosh was working on the apple orchard as usual. It was applebuck season again, and demand for apples was at an all time high. Luckily, the Apple family had plenty of apples in stock. At this time of the year, ponies from Ponyville came to the farm to place large orders of apples for the winter, with the occasional noble from Canterlot.
The stallion had just placed another bushel full of apples in the barn when he noticed a pony approach him from the fence, most likely to place an order for some fruit.
She was an earth pony mare, slightly shorter than usual. Her coat was brown, her unkempt mane a slightly darker shade. Her eyes were a deep indigo, so dark that they could be mistaken for black at first glance. She looked slightly worn, as though she had been through a lot lately. Something seemed so familiar about her to Big Macintosh, and he couldn't help but feel a slight fluttering sensation in his stomach.
"Howdy miss," said the stallion. "What can ah do for you today?"
The brown mare smiled. "Hello," she began in a smooth voice that could rival Fluttershy's in its softness. "I just moved to Ponyville and I wanted to order two bushel of apples, please."
"Give me just a moment," Big Macintosh went into the barn and came out a moment later wearing two bushels over each of his sides. "Would you like some help with those, miss?"
"Oh no, thank you," said the mare as she fit each of the bushels over her side and stood with ease.
'She's as sturdy as Applejack,' thought Big Mac to himself, surprised.
"Alright then, that'll be twelve bits."
The other pony hoofed over the bits to him and proceeded to walk towards Ponyville again.
Yet there was something so familiar about her.
"Excuse me miss?" said Big Macintosh before she got too far away. "What was your name again?"
The mare turned. "My name is Quantum, but everypony calls me Smarty-Pants"
God. I think this may have been my favorite to write. I really like the idea of Smarty-Pants being an actual pony and being shipped with Big Macintosh. I have so many ideas for fics. I'm going to post a little "Story" telling about these ideas. Anyone who wants to help is welcome to.
