Chapter 11
Gabriel woke early in the morning. He looked through the window. Sun raised about half an hour ago. He got up from bed and made the bed. He sat for a while, thinking. The ponies accepted him, they allowed him to stay here, they threw a party for min... This place was awesome. He smiled at the thought and walked to the door.
As soon as he opened them, he saw Applebloom walking in this direction. He smiled at her "Hello!". She smiled back and said "Hi, Ah was about to wake you up. It's breakfast". He nodded and started following her to the dining room.
When they walked in Applejack greeted them with a smile. "Hi there! Big Macintosh took Granny Smith to the doctor and they won't be back till afternoon. Looks like mah duties has been doubled" She said sadly and sighed.
The two friends looked at each other for a while. Then they looked at Applejack, and Applebloom said "Don't worry sis, we'll help ya". AJ looked at them and smiled "Thanks".
They ate breakfast laughing and talking about yesterday's party in Sugarcube Corner.
After that, they walked out of home and headed to the apple orchard. On the way Applejack explained everything to Gabriel "…and then ya just carry the baskets with apples to the barn. But when ya have long distance to walk, ya can use a cart". He nodded "Yeah, I understand, but…" He looked at the ground. "What is it sugarcube?" she asked him with a little worried tone. "Oh, it's nothing, it's just… I can't do apple bucking. I can put apples in the baskets and carry them, but only this". He looked up at her and saw her puzzled look. "Ponies have strong legs and hooves, I haven't. My body is adapted for running and hunting" He explained to her.
She smiled at him and stroked his head playfully. "Don't ya worry 'bout that" She said with a smile "Ah will buck trees, an' ya with mah sis will carry them, 'kay?". He smiled and jumped in joy "Yeah!"
They were working a few hours. There wasn't much work with carrying baskets – they were working a couple hundred meters from barn. When it was a lunch time they took a brake and sit under the tree. Applebloom and Gabriel were exhausted from running all the time with baskets full of apples. AJ looked like she wasn't doing nothing. The brake lasted for 5 more minutes and they backed to work.
It was almost 15 when Applejack bucked last tree and said "Okay kids, we finished for today". They both looked at each other proudly. It was really hard work for them, but they made it!
They started walking towards the home to eat something and get some rest. When they were half way to the house Rainbow Dash landed in front of them.
She was very scared and she was shaking. Gabriel was surprised to see her like this. From what he saw and what Scootaloo told him, she was very brave. Few second later Applejack trotted to them. She looked at Rainbow and her expression changed in a blink of an eye. She was visibly scared right now, maybe even more than her friend.
He was about to ask her about it but Rainbow Dash interrupted "Fast… There is... Another wolves…" She said between inhaling. Then she flew away.
They looked at each other for a moment, with wide eyes. There was no time to talk about it. Within a second they was running through town, following Rainbow Dash.
Another wolves… this can't be good
