Hey, guys welcome to the first major upload of the month which will happen on the first of every month! I am for once letting my ADHD out of its restraints which means I will type whatever is on my mind and make up new stories whenever they pop up! so be warned I could post like let's say 10 chapters for one story one month but type none the next month for said story! the only stories that will certainly have chapters every month will be Equestrian Ranger and Derpy Sunrise. Equestrian Ranger because it is a story I am making alongside a friend I would gladly call my brother in all but blood and Derpy Sunrise due to the fact it is a story request by someone I would call a friend as well!

now then at the moment, i am currently unemployed which is why all these chapters were uploaded today because I have had a lot of time on my hands. although I did take a few days from typing to play video games lets get back on track! point being I would just like to remind everyone that I am an IMPROVE WRITER! meaning I barely plan any of my writing besides major events and ideas that just pop up in my head that very same day I am typing up the chapters!

so please bear with me here as I upload chapters every month instead of when I have them finished. since its a new year, and a partially new me, I try to respond to all reviews and all PM's that I get and since in the beginning I despised being flamed I am all for it now as it would help me improve my writing!

there are a few regrets I do have such as the halo & my little pony crossovers on my account as they were a prime time I didn't reign in my ADHD well enough... another reason is the only story I have ever adopted and attempted to continue writing only to utterly fail... the story called Becoming a Wonderbolt. regardless of the follows and dislikes it has I know I have utterly failed just trying to continue the story and if someone doesn't adopt it there is a small chance, and I mean a very small, chance that I will retry continuing it.

well... now that I have all of that off of my chest I got one last thing to say! uploads will start United State's, Oak Harbor, Ohio time at noon exactly every month so you all have a time frame of when I start uploading. I will upload new stories first every time so I can quickly convert any chapters I have over the 50 document limit and prepare them quickly for upload before uploading rewrites and new chapters for current stories. I will try to rewrite all of my My Little Pony stories, except for the ones to do with Halo, so I hope you can all bear with me... i wish you all good luck and know I am on Fanfiction constantly so if you ever need to ask anything don't be afraid to PM me or leave a review although I might be late seeing reviews as I check my emails every couple days which I am trying to turn into a daily thing.

have a good one everyone! LONG LIVE THE HERD!

Third Person (pony in this case) point of view

the four anthros were in the living room after a few minutes of catching up. Applejack was just watching Lance work out in the yard. Working on the truck with a large variety of tools. "Applejack do you really not trust him?" Cheerilee asked.

"of course I don't trust em... it's because of his race that all us ponies are enslaved... his parents were the ones who started it all!" she stated with venom great in her tone.

"but didn't he say he didn't approve of what they did?" Pinkie said with a confused look on her face. "and cant you tell if somepony's lying?" this stopped Applejack's argument dead in its tracks... "see! He wasn't lying! He really doesn't approve of what they did!" Applejack scowled.

"he could still be a good enough liar to where I couldn't tell!" she yelled out.

"Applejack!" Fluttershy yelled surprising the other three ponies that knew her. "why would somepony want this to happen if they saved me from being killed! He watched as my previous owner walked in and was going to kill me!" tears were in her eyes as their eyes widened in shock. "he stopped him from killing me and got me medical attention for the wound on my head! He was willing to help me while everypony else just stood there!" she burst into tears as Cheerilee rushed over and began to comfort her. This new knowledge caused Applejack's mind to begin thinking of any possibility as to why Lance would help Fluttershy... only coming up blank unless they were outrageous ideas. Applejack took one last look outside towards Lance before she finally made a decision on who she would trust.

Lance POV

closing the hood of the truck I used a rage to wipe off what oil I could off of my hands before wiping my forehead. The truck needed a tune-up for while so thankfully I was able to get it done today. I crouch down and started to put away my tools as a shadow came over my body... I had already guessed who it was... "hello Applejack..." I said opening my toolbox to put my tools away. " I thought you would have still been talking with the others..." I stated in a monotone tone wondering why she came out here.

"why did you help Fluttershy?" she asked as I stood up and raised an eyebrow at her. "yesterday you saved her from being killed by another of your species... I just want to know why..."

"all life is sacred. Its why the only animals I kill on my farm are those who are about to die and have no way of coming back from it... thankfully somehow my other animals understood I was basically giving them mercy." I looked her straight in the eye. "and since I answered your question I want you to answer one of mine... why do you hate humans so much?"

we stood there for probably 5 minutes before she turned away and spoke up. "when humans invaded... they first gathered up all the elderly ponies in the middle of town... and then killed them as a show of force..."

"you lost a family member did you not?" she nodded. "my condolences... I know how it feels for a grandparent to leave us... I will also say again. I do not condone what my family has done. But I hope you will trust me. If not I will understand."

"fine..." she stuck out her hand as I grabbed it. " I will trust you until ya give me a reason not to." I gave a smile.

"that is all I ask." she smiled as well as I let go of her hand. "you and the others could wait until tomorrow to start work. I got to still figure out who's going to take care of that when they come... you could figure out sleeping arranges if you don't mind." she gave me a nod as she walked back towards and into the house. I grabbed my toolbox and walked over to the barn and into the tool area. I laid the toolbox onto of my work desk and as I walked out I heard a loud moo. Turning to my right I chuckled seeing a familiar cow walk over to me and stopping next to me. I put my head behind her ears and began to scratch her behind her ear. "hey Betty... how you holding up?" she was the oldest cow on the farm at the moment... having been the first cow I ever assisted Grandfather with helping birth I even named her Betty...

shes have been around for as long as I could remember being on this farm. Although unfortunately there's a virus in her that's making her weak. The pills shes given helps her immune system but even the veterinarian says the pills won't help her any longer at some point...

she responded to me with a moo as I gave a chuckle. "alright girl... outside you go..." I began to pull her towards the doors that lead to the large pasture. I could see the other cows way over in the middle of the pasture. Closing the door behind us I nudged Betty until she started walking over to the group of cows. I sat down on top of the wooden fence and looked at the farm in all its beauty. Remembering the time's Grandfather would let me help him out with various things. I remember when I first helped grandfather with the chickens... they just hated me for no apparent reason as they chased me around while he fixed the pen... I ended up inside of the chicken coop angering the second half of the chickens and coming out of it with grandfather saying how much I looked at a chicken... he got an egg in the face for that remark.

I was pushed out of my thoughts as I blinked my eyes and found a face full of pink... "what the!" I fell backward onto the dirt ground as I heard giggling. Looking up I found Pinkie now looking at me from the other side of the fence. Her giggling soon turned to laughter as she fell into the grass and rolled around.

Rolling my eyes I stood up and leaned on the face and just watched as Pinkie slowly calmed down. Once she was just breathing heavily I asked the most common question for a matter like this... "you done?" she looked up at me... giggled... before giving me a nod. "good." she giggled again as she zoomed to her feet faster then I could see. "so what do you need Pinkie?" I asked her.

"just wanted to ask something!"

"and that is?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. Her tone suddenly became serious.

"do you like parties?" I began to ponder her question.

"depends on the kind of party I then answered. "but otherwise yes."

"can I..." she held the I. "hold a party?" I looked at her confused as to why she would want to have a party.

"why do you want a party?"

"a together again party with two of my closest s friends! And Cheerilee and you are invited!" knowing Ben he would agree while I barely went to any party nowadays.

"fine... but only a small one."

"can I do it when everypony else is here?!" she then yelled with excitement as she began to jump up and down.

"sure..." its still only 12 people. Or 1 person and 11 anthros but 12 people nonetheless. She began to bear hug me as I could hear and feel my back crack before I was dropped onto my feet I bent backward as I saw Pinkie Pie run into the house as a feeling of regret slowly made itself known in my mind. But I pushed it out with a simple saying...

what could go wrong?

Next Morning

a lot could go wrong... the house was already filled with party decorations and I could tell Pinkie Pie was cooking a lot of stuff for tomorrow. I only worried about my brother coming in tomorrow. I walked into the kitchen to find the other three drinking coffee. As I gave a yawn I gave a morning greeting. "good morning."

"morning."

"g-good morning."

"good morning."

"moooooooooorning!" I chuckled at Pinkie as I sat down and instantly found a mug of coffee in front of me. Not questioning how it got there I picked it up and started to slowly drink it. Before putting it down. "alright... me and Applejack will leave at noon for the Center. I would like to try and have everything we need to be done by the time its time for us to leave. Cheerilee could you please handle with making sure the rooms are ready by the time we get back?" she gave a nod of acknowledgment. " Fluttershy can you handle all the other animals except for the cows?" she gave me a meek nod. "Applejack you and I need to feed the cows and then get them outside as soon as they are done. Then we need to clean their stalls and replace the bedding and last but not least clean their buckets. Once your done Fluttershy please join us to help clean buckets. Cheerilee you can help Pinkie Pie with... her baking..." everyone nodded as Pinkie only hummed out a response. "OK.. let's get things done!"

Fluttershy immediately left as soon as she was done with her breakfast she went out to do the other animals on the farm.

Cheerilee soon went upstairs finishing soon after her breakfast. Once I and Applejack were done we rushed out over to the barn and fed the cows. "just how many animals have ya got here anyway?" Applejack asked as she tossed some hay into several of the stalls.

"let's see... I have Chickens and Cows... and I've actually been pondering getting a few horses..."

"didja just call me a horse!" Applejack yelled out in rage as I raised, my hands defensively.

"no I was talking about the nonsentient animals that are called horses!" she slowly calmed down as I realized I really dodged a bullet there.

Soon we finished feeding them as both me and Applejack waited until they were finished eating. "so how long have ya owned the farm?" she asked as I looked up.

"well my grandfather owned it ever since he was 30... he died at the age of 80... I've had it for 5... so 55 years since grandfather said I technically owned it too." she gave a whistle. "what about your farm?"

"been in the family ever since it was built by Granny Smiths family. She inherited the farm from her parents. Gave it to my parents... before their deaths it was supposed to be given to me once I turned 20..." I gave her a look of sympathy... "so it been in the family for four generations so far... I just hope that ma brother and sister will be alright once we go get them."

"I pray so... at least your brother and sister like you at least." she gave a small chuckle. "OK looks like they've eaten enough..." jumping onto the floor be and Applejack began rounding up the cows as I brought over a bucket of water over to Betty. Putting it down she moo'ed as I held out my hand with her pills in them. "come on Betty... you know that these will help you..." she ate up her pills as she then drank from the water bucket as I began to smile. "good girl..."

after she finished drinking I pulled her outside as did as I did so yesterday as she went over to the herd. Walking back inside I pulled out the many bags of bedding as Applejack got started on one of the stalls and I joined her in the stall next over. "if only..." she grunted out as she emptied her shovel into a wheelbarrow. "your cows were like the ones in our world..." I gave a chuckle as I took a wild guess on what she was talking about. It was going to be a long time until Afternoon came...
