This one is slightly longer than usual, but the same amount of nothingness happens, be patient, im getting there. Remember to R&R and Fav and Follow. As of uploading this i have 3 followers, i feel important.
Applejack just looked at the strange pony who was holding out his hoof. She has never been a rude pony so she stuck her own hoof out and shook Spark's hand and introduced herself.
"Well howdy there Spark, my name is Applejack." She said with a smile, then quickly added in "And those were my apples you ate." She then quickly tightened her grip on his hand and waited for his answer.
"Er, well I'm sorry" I threw in quickly "I didn't know that they were anyone's, is there any way I could repay you?"
Applejack thought of a few ways he could repay her, she just had to get him somewhere a little more secluded. "No" she said to herself.
"What?" I asked
"Oh nothing," she quickly shot out. "Iffin you're really offering to repay me back then you can come into town with me and carry all of the things I get." She started to trot off down the road with her head held high.
I really didn't have much of a choice now did I? I quickly hurried up and caught up to her.
"Wait so there's a town here? As in more of you?"
She looked over her shoulder and asked with a puzzled look on her face "What do you mean 'more of me?' you aren't from around here are you?"
"It's that obvious?"
"Yes'sir." She said with a smile. "Where are you from?"
I hurried to come up with an answer, I couldn't come up with anything, I've never been out of New York so I told her the truth. "I'm from Manhattan."
"You mean Manehattan?" she asked while cocking an eyebrow
"Uhh, sure." I shrugged, might as well role with it.
"So you're one of them city-slicker ponies?" She said with a smile
"I guess you could call me that." I didn't know what else to say "But I never really liked it there, so I moved out here." I needed to change topics before she figured me out. I looked back and saw those three apples again. "So I like your tattoo."
"What's a tattoo?" She asked with the same puzzled look as before
"What's that on you hip then?"
She glanced back to where I was referring and stated informatively "You mean on my flank? That's my cutie mark. Everypony has one, well almost everypony." She stopped and pointed to my "flank"
"I guess I need to get one then don't I"
"Yessin you most certainly do! A cutie mark is everything to a pony, it's their entire identity!"
"Wow no pressure there."
"Oh calm yerself, once you figure out your special talent, you'll get your own cutie mark. Some ponies just take longer that's all."
I felt like she was calling me a child, it didn't matter I just needed to pay this pony back what I owed her and I would be on my way. We soon arrived at what looked like a farm and we walked through the front gate.
"Hey Apple? What gives? I thought you said we were going into town?"
She turned and looked at me, she was blushing. "I like it when you call me that." I didn't even know how to react to that except that I felt my face grow warm. "Well what are we doing here?"
"This is my family's farm, Sweet Apple Acres, I just need to grab something before we head into town." I quickly scanned the area and was impressed "Very nice." I said out loud to myself. As I turned away from Applejack I felt a big weight on my shoulders. I looked over my shoulder and saw that I was hooked up to large cart behind me.
"Great, why don't you just strap on the rods?" I mumbled.
"Sorry there honey, you did offer to repay me."
Why do I always get myself into situations like this?
About 20 minutes later we pulled into a moderate sized town. Actually I pulled, Applejack just sat in the cart and said nothing the entire way, I'm almost positive she just stared at me the entire way. Kind of creepy but then again, things might be different here in ponyland than back home.
Ponyville, I think it was called, was pretty beautiful, the multicolored houses and open shops really gave off a welcoming feeling.
"Well Spark, welcome to Ponyville, the nicest place in all of Equestria." Applejack said proudly as she hopped off the cart and strutted by me.
"Equestria? Is that where we are?" I asked
"Shore' is, everything around you is Equestria, all the way from Manefornia to Manehattan where you're from." She stated oh so matter-o'-factly
"Ok, geography lesson aside, what do we need to get here?" I asked whilst trying to get the cart off of me.
"Well first off, you better keep that cart on otherwise you'll be carrying everything by hoof." She started to trot off.
"Got it, big heavy cart, stays on." I sighed as I walked behind her.
"First we need to stop at Sugar Cube Corner to grab some of Pinkie's famous blueberry cupcakes." She licked her lips just thinking about it.
"Ok, sounds good…who's Pinkie?" I swear if my special talent is asking questions I better get my own game show or something.
"Oh shoot I forgot, you're new to the area, well I'll introduce you to everypony as we go. Pinkie Pie is the owner of Sugar Cube Corner, one of the best bakers out there, and one of my closest friends." She exclaimed as she walked into the front of the nearest store.
"Hey Apple, I can't follow you in there with this cart on!" I yelled after her. Great, looks like I'm getting this thing off by myself. I wiggled, and I jumped, I tried to fly, and finally I just bucked enough to fall out of the harness…and onto my face.
'ouch' I thought to myself as I cleaned myself up and walked inside. Only to see a pink pony wind up and hit me in the face with a pie. When I opened up eyes only to see that pink pony, Pinkie I'm assuming laughing and rolling around on the floor. I stuck my tongue out and tried licking as much off my face as I could. "Mmmmm, banana cream." It was delicious. I picked up the pie tin off the ground and licked it clean. I looked up to see Pinkie only a few feet away looking at me with a huge smile like she was waiting for something. "Um, hi?"
She practically yelled at me "So how was it? Huh? Huh? Was it scrum-diddle-e-umpsious?"
I smiled and replied "It was great! Applejack wasn't lying when she said you were one of the best bakers ever!"
Pinkie just smiled even bigger and held her head high. "That's Applejack for you, one of the most honest ponies ever." I looked over to Applejack and she just smiled at me and lightly kicked the floor. "Aww, shoot Pinkie, ya'll don't have to embarrass me like that in front of him like that." She came over a helped get the rest of the pie out of my fur and mane.
Pinkie turned and smiled, "Well my work here is done, I need to make some more pies before any other hungry ponies show up." She trotted off into the back room and I heard some singing.
"You'll get used to her, she's a little bit of a scatterbrain." AJ finished in a whisper "Oh there's still some pie on you. Let me get it." She leaned in close and lightly licked my cheek. Man that felt great.
She pulled back and was blushing furiously, I probably was too. I still can't get over the fact that I think this orange pony is cute.
"WAIT A MINUTE!" Pinkie burst through the door and came inches form my face. "You're new in town aren't you?" "I sure am, I'm spark and I stuck out my hoof." She grabbed it with both her front hooves and shook it until my leg felt like it was gonna come off. All the while Pinkie was cheering "Hi spark I'm Pinkie, it's so very nice to meet you, you're new so that means I get to through you a PARTY!"
