Chapter 3
A home of our own
The next morning Boltbreaker could hear a commotion outside causing him to snap awake ( I wonder whats going on out there) he thought as he walked down stairs. As he neared the door he could tell that it was Applejack and Rarity cheering about something. " Whats up girls" Boltbreaker ask as he stepped out onto the porch watching them dance around. " You won't believe this but Rarity got the rest of the money" Applejack said happily looking over at the stunned Boltbreaker, Rarity just giggled " it was no problem at all I just grabbed Spike and went gem digging" she bragged showing the money bag. Boltbreaker's eyes welled up with tears as he thanked them for all their help " that's what friends are for no lets go buy your house" Applejack said nudging him in the side.
The others joined them as the entered town happily trotting to the lake with Pinkie Pie bouncing around screaming about a party at Boltbreaker's new house. " Go see if the real estate pony is in there" Twilight said gesturing for Boltbreaker to knock on the door, Boltbreaker happily following her advice walked over to the door just as the he came out. " Well hello every pony what can I do you for" the real estate pony said noticing them standing there looking at him. Boltbreaker happily held up the money and said " I would like to buy this house please" waiting for him to take the money. The real estate pony looked at them sadly " I'm sorry but this house sold yesterday" his words hit the group like a broken glass their mouths dropped as they watch him walk away. Boltbreaker wiped the tears from his eyes as he turned to his friends and said " thank you for all you help but it looks like me and my sister will have to try another town, I hope to see all of you again some day" as he started to fly away.
"Now hold on there partner" Applejack said grabbing his tail " I ain't about to let you give up now not after we got the enough money" Boltbreaker listening to Applejack landed crying. " Whats the use this was the only house for sale in pony ville" Boltbreaker sob as they gathered around him Twilight's eye brightened as she suddenly got an idea. " I know what we can do lets build him a house" Twilight said enthusiastically causing the others to perk up, " Twilight's right we have enough money all we need to do buy the supplies and find a good place to build it" Rainbow Dash added as the others nodded in agreement. " Your all great friends" Boltbreaker sniffed as the gave him a group hug, just then Applejack's eyes lit up " I have the perfect spot for your house its right next to sweet apple acres so Snowflake can play with Applebloom when every she wants". Rarity snickered as Boltbreaker accepted her offer " that was very clever Applejack" she whispered in Applejack's ear making her blush realizing that she knew her other motive for the suggestion.
With their goal set they began construction of a sturdy two bedroom house on the plot of land Applejack had mentioned the cutie mark crusaders joining in with their own brand of help. Grabbing paint brushes they ran over to the house " CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS HOUSE PAINTERS YAY" they shouted as they started to paint the walls. They all laughed as they worked together and by the time the sun started to set they stood back to admire their work. " I'd say that would be able to handle a para sprite invasion" Applejack chuckled proudly, " oh I hope we don't have to find out" Fluttershy whimpered making them all burst out laughing. " Well its getting late lets all go get some rest" Twilight yawned, " ya see ya later" Rainbow said flying off, Boltbreaker waved goodbye as they all left before turning around. " Come on you can move in tomorrow" Applejack said leading him back to the farmhouse, Boltbreaker just smiled " ya tomorrow".
The next morning Boltbreaker woke up to Snowflake jumping up and down on the bed " get up big brother get up, get up, get up" she said excitedly. Boltbreaker laughed as he followed her down stairs he knew she was exited about their new house. Applejack greeted him at the bottom of the stairs " mornin Boltbreaker every pony's over at your place waiting" she said rushing him out the door. On the way to his house Applejack made him close his eyes she told him that they had a surprise for him which just made him just as exited as Snowflake. " Ok you can open them now" Applejack told him as they stopped, Boltbreaker slowly opened his eyes " surprise" the others shouted throwing streamers in the air they had made it there early so they could set up a surprise housewarming party.
" Thank you all without you girls I would have never found such a wonderful home now let party" Boltbreaker said as he joined them in pin the tail on the pony. They had so much fun that before they new it the time had come for them to get back to their duties they all had on last round of cheers before heading back to their normal day's agenda. " Well I'll see ya later" Applejack said as she got ready to start apple bucking but before she could leave Boltbreaker spoke up " wait let me help you". Applejack froze for a second before answering " you don't need to" she said turning around seeing a serious look on his face " I know but I want to it's the least I can do to repay you for your help" Boltbreaker said walking to the orchard. It took all the strength Applejack had not to explode with joy as she joined him she could see it in his eyes he truly felt at home there.
