Ive been having so much fun writing. Heres another chapter. As Always I dont own any characters or likenesses other than my OC.
I walked down the path from the gate and greeted Applejack as I got closer.
"Hey there how ya feelin today," Applejack said with an accent I've never heard before.
"I'm doing well just walking around trying to work out the pain in my leg," I responded with a smile.
"Oh no I didn't hit ya that hard did I," Applejack said with sudden shock on her face.
"Ah ha so it was you that snuck up behind me yesterday, but no I have a permanent injury that leaves my leg in constant pain especially if I let it rest too long," I said not wanting her to feel too bad.
"I'm sorry ah hit ya, I just didn't know what else to do you were a strange creature that I hadn't seen before and didn't know if you were dangerous or not," she said head hung low.
"Don't worry about it Applejack where I'm from we are at constant war and I got used to getting banged up, but I will admit you are very strong it's impressive, "I said trying to get her to perk up.
Picking up her head with the biggest smile I'd ever seen she explained that it was due to her job. She is the current head of her family's apple farm and spent a lot of time tending to the trees. Plowing and bucking the trees during harvest time that it's only natural that she have a strong body. It was then I found myself taking a good look at her and how well toned her body was. Then I realized that she was staring at me with a blush and came to realize I was checking out a girl pony.
Blushing myself I cleared my throat and asked," uh so tell me about this farm of yours."
She then went on to tell me as we walked through the apple trees that her family had settled here before there was a Ponyville. And that their farm is what made the founding of Ponyville possible. She also went on to tell me about all the different desserts her family made with the apples they grew and the yearly apple cider they sold. I was very impressed with how her family had done so much good for this world and how hard they worked. After a while we decided to take a break and sat under one of the big apple trees.
"Would you like to sample some of my family's apples," she said looking up at the tree.
"Sure that sounds good right about now," I said smiling back at her.
Not wanting to let the apples fall on me she walked over to a tree a few feet away with baskets under it and bucked the trunk. In a matter of seconds a rain of apples fell from the tree and into the baskets below.
"Very impressive Applejack but you missed a few, mind if I give it a try," I asked with a giggle.
"Be my guest," she said not thinking I would be able to do much better.
Picking another tree I walked up to the trunk and stood before it. Calming my mind and relaxing I built up chakra in my arm intensifying my strength and swung at the trunk. Seeming as if I had barely hit it Applejack began to laugh only to have her laughter change to shock as the apples began to fall. She could only stand there with her mouth practically on the ground as every apple in the tree made its way down to a basket.
"I…whut…how….," was all she could manage.
"Oh forgive me I didn't think that using one of my techniques would be cheating," I said with a chuckle.
She couldn't believe that I had so much strength and to be honest I didn't know I had it in me still. It felt good to loosen up a bit. After that we sat and ate a few apples while I answered questions about my techniques and why we were always at war in my world. What I didn't know was as I talked she watched me with admiration. And every time I'd look over at her shed turn with a blush. It was getting late and I had to go meet with Rarity to see about the clothes she was making.
"Thank you for spending the day with me and showing me around it was a lot of fun," I said to Applejack getting up from where I was sitting.
"Think nothin of it sugar cube maybe you can come by more often and help me with the apple bucking, I'll even pay ya," Applejack said in a strange tone.
"If the princesses can do something for my leg maybe I'll take you up on that," I said with a smile.
We said our goodbyes and I headed back to town. Something was weighing in at the back of my mind during my walk back to Ponyville. Was I really checking her out, was I really attracted to a pony. It felt the same as when I went to Rarities earlier that day. I was nervous around her like I knew she was attractive and didn't want to show it. Then how embarrassed I got when she asked me to get undressed. I just couldn't understand the feelings. Back in my days doing missions as a shinobi I really didn't have time for romance. There was the occasional fling with a fellow shinobi on a mission that kept us away from the village for months. But things never went further than that. These feelings were confusing and frankly terrifying. But then id remember they were ponies and I was human how the heck would it work. The more I thought about it the more my head hurt. Reaching Rarity's shop I decided to drop it and do what I had come to do.
"Well let's see what kind of designs she came up with," I mumbled as I knocked on her door.
Stay tuned for more.
