"ZzzzZzzzZz..."
"..."
"ZZZZzzzZZzzzz..."
"...COCK-A-DOODLE DOOOOOOOOO!"
"AAAAHHH!" screamed Rarity.
"AAAAHHH!" also screamed Twilight.
"WHAT THE BUCK!" hollered Bowtie.
Morning. Waking up peacefully to the sound of the rooster down about half a mile down toward Sweet Apple Acres. The reason why I didn't scream when it called? I heard them ALL the time when I lived back on farmland. I was so used to it, almost like it was music to my ears. But to Rainbow, Bowtie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twi? It SURLY wasn't. They all jumped and screamed like a masked murderer had ran in. But me and Pinkie woke up with ease, since we were both raised on the fields. It was actually super funny hearing the others scream, but after a few seconds, the screaming eased and gasps began.
"What the hay was that?!" called Bowtie.
"Dude! Calm down! It was just a rooster call from down in Sweet Apple Acres!"
"It was? Because that was just terrifying!" whined Rarity, her mane a bit frizzy.
"Yup!" Me and Pinkie agreed. "Nothing to worry about!"
The others exchanged looks of calmness and began to laugh it off. As they giggled and murmured to the others on how silly they acted, I whispered over to Pinkie.
"Newbies huh? Never understand farmland," I giggled.
She giggled too and nodded her head.
The rooster did mean one thing though. Morning was upon us, and daylight was burning by the minute. Though we were on Sweet Apple Acres, we were only on the very outside brim, and the Apple family owned ACRES after ACRES of the rich land. So it would actually take us a good chunk of the day to even reach the area of the Apple's house. And hay, there's a 50 % shot that she could even be there! What if she isn't! Oh my Celestia that would be the end of my world, I would have no idea what to do. So I'm hoping and praying to Celestia and God shes there.
Since we didn't set up camp, we were up and on our way like a mid-morning road trip. Applejack's hat on my head, the group following us by the step, and our confidence never missing a beat. The only downside to everything was it was extremely hot, and we had little water on our hooves, so we had to watch and consume our time well. But it was getting real annoying hearing Rarity over and over say,
"Its SOOOOOOOOO hot!"
Or
"Can I PLEASEE have some water?"
No wonder she was my least favorite pony of the 6. I didn't hate her, or even think less of her, I just got annoyed when she whines about stuff. Oh well, she is the picky and stylish of the 6, so I didn't mind it.
The day was getting hotter and hotter with every minute that passed, and the others began to lose energy faster than a Nascar's top speed. Even I was starting too lose energy, and my hooves were getting really soar. I still wasn't getting the "walking on all fours" thing 100 percent, so that was probably why. But just to our luck, we looked up ahead to see a nice, blue pond of water about half a mile away.
"Hey y'all look!" I said, faintfully. "W-water!"
The ponies soon looked up and wiped the tired, worn-out looks off their faces and smiled widely. Before I knew it, the whole group had dashed ahead of me and began to make their way to the pond. I smirked a bit and shook my head, running after the others. As I finally got to the pond, I could already see the others in the pond, swimming, laughing, and cooling down. I took off Applejacks hat and set it in the pond to clean it, then I jumped in, splashing the others and making them laugh.
"Lonestar!" Twilight groaned.
I laughed and swam toward the hat, dunking it and cleaning it off so it would be squeaky clean. It was the least I can do for AJ, since she thought it was missing. While I was rinsing it off, Bowtie had swam up behind me and splashed me as hard as he could, which scared me more than the time he and Rainbow scared me in the forest.
"GAH! BOWTIE!" I screamed, grabbing my chest and gasping.
He laughed so hard he began to sink downward into the pond. I had to act fast and pull him up by his horn so he wouldn't sink. We had a good laugh and my tone eased. I also heard something else behind me now. Rainbow Dash was giggling and blushing at Bowtie as I pulled him up. This gave me a question that shot in my head like a flip of a switch.
"Hey dude, you should totally ask Rainbow Dash out!" I said.
He looked at me wide-eyed, but caught my drift. I could tell he wanted too.
"Really?" He asked. "Would she say yeah?"
"Ah think so!" I said with happiness. "Dude, she's been all over you, AND! when we were all in the forest, she slept on your shoulder!"
His face lit up.
"What! Are you serious bro! Ahh, I'm going to do it!"
"Buck yeah bro! Go for it!" I pushed him toward her direction, making him lose his balance and splash Rainbow in the face. I felt bad when it happened because I almost made him lose his chance. But, thank Celestia, that didn't happen. He went over and laughed, but then shot a friendly look at me that read:
"Ok, I'm going to ask her out. You can leave now,"
I received the message and swam away to finish the cleaning of AJ's hat. As I got over and finished getting the dirt off, I heard a loud eep and a loud
"YES, Oh My Gosh, YES!"
Which then was followed by a big hug. I looked over and smiled to see Bowtie holding Rainbow in his hooves. Now I shot him a look that read:
"Nice job bro,"
Followed with a smile. He smiled back and continued to hold her, closing his eyes.
It was so nice helping others with relationships and other things. It just brought a sence of happiness, succession, and power that ran through my veins. Maybe that's why my Mom always said I was a great guy. I never did believe her when she first told me, but now, I'm actually starting to realize it...I guess. But whatever it was, I loved helping people and bringing peace to everyone or everypony. My friends used to call me "The Peace Maker" because whenever I was at my friends house playing video games and there was an argument about who could drink the last Coke-a-Cola, I would jump in, grab two glasses, and pour them equally. I hated when stuff wasn't right, or something or one was wrong. So doing a good deed here and there made me feel real good inside. I wasn't sure why, but I felt like I needed to know all that in the future, because It would determine something...hmm.
"Hey everypony. Me, Fluttershy, and Rarity are ready to go! Are you ponies ready?" called out Twilight, already dried off and waiting.
Me, Bowtie, and Rainbow exchanged looks and nodded, heading toward the shore. We needed to dry off, so me and Rainbow Dash took the sky to dry faster. Bowtie just used his magic and watched. As we got higher and higher, I asked Rainbow Dash about Bowtie.
"So Dashie, are ya' dating Bowtie?"
She looked over at me and giggled.
"Yup! He seems really cool, and he's cute!"
That made me howl of laughter on the inside, but on the outside I let out a funny giggle.
"He's a real cool guy-UH STALLION!" I stuttered.
She looked at me a bit confused on what I just slipped out.
"Sorry, I just men't he's really cool and nice. I've known him since I was young,"
She smiled and laughed. By that time, we were all dry and ready to continue, so we flew down and joined with the others. Bowtie walked next to Rainbow Dash and smiled, which made me smile. But by then, a thought popped into my head, which stayed on my mind for the rest of the time we spent going to the Apple Family's house.
"Bowtie and Rainbow Dash, one realtionship down," I thought,
"Me and Applejack, one to go."
