                                         Applejack’s  Farm ½ kilometer from Ponyville

Cowboy sat up his side hurt worse than anything he had ever experienced in his life. He realized that he was in a barn. Morrni'n sugarcube Applejack said. Cowboy spun around fast and reached for his gun. When his hand reached his holster he realized that his gun was gone. I took your weapon while you were sleeping, just in case Y’all tried anything stupid Applejack said.  Am I dead?  Asked Cowboy.  No, Y'all ain't dead Applejack responded.  But you, your a talking pony said Cowboy. Well you’re, shoot I don't even know what you are, said Applejack.  I’m a man said, Cowboy.  Well, I know that, what kind of creature are you?  Applejack asked. I'm human, said Cowboy. Whats “human”? asked Applejack. My species, its difficult to explain Cowboy said. You got a name Mr.? Applejack asked. Yeah, James, James Riderland, but please do call me Cowboy. Do you misses have a name? Asked Cowboy. Yeah I'm Applejack, but I'm no Misses, just Miss. Ok miss Applejack. Replied, Cowboy. Why don't y’all tell me a little about yourself Applejack encouraged. Not much to say my parents died when I was young. I had to raise my younger sister on my own, its been real tough. Just last year a group of Cattle rustlers stole my whole herd Cowboy said. Sounds a whole lot like me, replied Applejack. My parents both died when I was only twelve and my younger sister Apple Bloom never got to even meet Ma and Pa.  My older brother Big Macintosh has done his best to raise us.  It has been hard especially for Apple Bloom. But who am I to complain. We've got a good farm with good land Applejack concluded. I wish I were so lucky to have such a temperament said Cowboy. Thanks said Applejack. Do you need any help? Asked Cowboy. Its only fair that I repay you for saving my life. I need to take a cart of Hay into Ponyville, I would appreciate any help said Applejack.. Sure, I'll help you Cowboy. We'd better leave now, said Applejack, its getting dark. How long was I out? asked Cowboy. Little over a day said Applejack, as she harnessed her self to the hay cart. Need help, offered Cowboy. Nah, Y’all can unload the hay when we arrive.
