Time passed as Celestia and Twilight worked on a way to get the boys back home. Winter has now arrived and the boys have worked enough to get their own home, a nice little two story house with two bedrooms and one bathroom, and a basement larger than the upstairs put together. It was a nice buy since it was in a good location not too far from anything. Greg’s life has gone pretty smooth, being promoted at work, all access to the library at anytime, more lessons from Fluttershy, and his own stash of soda. Brennan however… not so much. He’s doing good at work, even becoming good friends with Vinyl doing demos with her in the studio. Brennan repaid his bet with Applejack awhile back but he still often goes to Sweet Apple Acres to help out and compete with Applejack.

Wait that’s not bad at all. So where’s the bad stuff? Well as for the whole thing with Octavia, it hasn’t gotten better. Brennan tried to make amends with her a few days after the incident only to catch her fully exposed out of the shower in her and Vinyl’s house. What was Brennan doing in their house you ask? That’s to be told at a later time. Let’s not forget Brennan’s newest rival Rainbow Dash. Those two can’t be seen together without something going down. Both have attempted to get along but think the other is too stubborn or to much of an ass to ever be friends. The rest of the girls however think that they secretly like each other and this is their way of trying to cover it up. Greg thinks so as well but doesn’t say anything. This only makes the matter worse but enough of this. Let’s see what are favorite duo is doing.

“I’m bored” yelled Greg as he flopped on the couch. “I don’t have work today and there’s nothing to do”

“You’re always bored. Watch some TV, read a book, or here’s something… GO OUTSIDE and do something” said Brennan from another room

“Well fine then” said Greg

Greg walked out leaving Brennan to do whatever he was doing.

“I guess I’ll go to town or something” he said as he chugged down a quarter of soda.

The not so long walk to Ponyville was done in no time and Greg walked around looking for some activity. Since winter had come, snow had as well so not a lot of pony folks were out and about. As he rounded a corner he spotted a mysterious hooded figure walking into a seemingly open store.

“That looks interesting” said Greg as he followed suit.

When he entered the store he found it to be an old bookstore of sorts with little to no activity and no hooded figure around. Greg spent a couple of minutes scanning the books that were written in weird text he couldn’t really understand. He eventually found the figure near a wall with a stack full of books. The figure had its hood retired, revealing something Greg hadn’t seen in this world.

“Oh my God, it’s a Zebra”

The zebra he pointed out turned to him only to drop her books in surprise.

“Look what you have made me do, I’ve dropped the books for my special brew” it said

“Holy shit, a raping zebra, maybe I should lay down a sick beat” Greg thought. And so he did in his head whenever it spoke.

“Sorry” Greg said as he helped to pick them up. “Your just the first one I’ve seen around here that looks different.

“Indeed that is a fact true, but that’s no excuse to be rude.

“Sorry, is there anything I can do to help you since I’ve caused trouble?”

“Hmmm, I don’t know whether to trust you but I’ll have to make due till I know what is true. Those books you now hold. Please carry them through the cold and your kindness will be repaid ten-fold” the Zebra said

“By the way what is your name” Greg asked as the Zebra made its purchases

“My name is Zecora”

****
As they walked, a change in scenery happened that took Greg by surprise. They had been walking in a dense forest for quite some time before Greg realized this.

“Where the hell are we” asked Greg

“This hell you say, I know not of this name. Your eyes must be of the sorest for we are in the Everfree Forest” replied Zecora

“Oh, okay. Thanks for telling, now can you explain why I’m carrying your books into the Everfree Forest?”

“Tis my home. Look ahead and you’ll see the dome” Zecora said pointing forward

“Oh okay, cool”

They entered into the hut and Zecora showed him where to place her purchases.

“So is there anything else you need for me to do before I leave” asked Greg

“There’s no need to rush, one with head full of plush. Ten fold I promised for the deed. So now sit as I take the lead.”
Zecora grabbed one of the books from the stack, as well as a few items from her many shelves. Once she got what she desired, she explained what was going on.

“Are you by chance a magic user?”

“I’ am indeed, but no abuser”

“Then it is time you learn some rhymes. For your abilities will be divine. Of this I speak the truth, allow me to show you proof” Zecora said as a magic circle appeared beneath her.

-Elsewhere-

Brennan was still at home doing what he wanted. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

“Who could that be, it’s snowing like crazy”

Brennan went to the door and opened it, to find Rainbow Dash at his door. She was looking at something but quickly looked back when the door opened. They stood there a minute since they were both caught by surprise. Rainbow Dash was wearing her usual get up of jeans and and a ragged T-shirt but this time with a slim hoodie, the hood covering her head and colorful hair, goggles hanging around her neck. "Not the best attire for snow, but I guess it's just Rainbow Dash" Brennan thought, then he realized there was still silence.

“Ummm, what are you doing here? I mean I don’t have a problem but this is unexpected” said Brennan

“Well I wanted to know if Greg was here. I needed him to draw something for me”

“No, he’s not here. You said something about drawing? Maybe I can help?”

“Oh really? I highly doubt that”

“Well you can try me or you can just go cus Greg won’t be back till Greg comes back. Who knows how long that will be?”

“How long is it normally” asked Rainbow Dash

“Well, one time he left home, he wasn’t back until weeks later with a full grown beard and a pile of money. To this day he won’t tell me what happened”

“Sounds like him. He’s like the Pinkie Pie of your world” she said

“Wow, I’m shocked. That must be the first joke you’ve said that wasn’t directed at me” said Brennan

“Whatever pizza face”

Brennan laughed a little. “I’m not playing your little games kid. Especially a drop out one”

Rainbow Dash tensed up at that. “What did you say Punk?!”

“You heard me or are you as deaf as you are slow?”

Rainbow Dash grabbed him by his collar and was about to rearrange his face but she thought for a second and decided that he wasn’t worth her time. She shoved him to the ground. “See you around loser”

“Awww did I make little Dashie all mad. How cute” Brennan laughed

Next thing he knew, he was kicked into the back far wall of his house.

“SAY ONE MORE THING AND I”LL END YOU” screamed Rainbow Dash

“Bring it cupcake, I got nothing better to do” challenged Brennan getting up ready to go

They we’re about to smack down when Twilight appeared.

“Rainbow Dash, there you are. Princess Celestia needs our help with a matter”

“Looks like you got saved by a princess. Ha! We’ll finish this another time” said Rainbow Dash

“Yeah, yeah. Tell it to the Wonderbolts” Brennan barked back

Rainbow had no time to deal with that one, she’s just have to take it and save it for later. She took off with Twilight.

“Dammit I don’t know what’s wrong with that girl” Brennan said closing the door behind him

As he did this, Rainbow Dash laid the details out to Twilight.

“I swear the next time I see him, I’m going to beat the buck out of him”

“C’mon Rainbow Dash, he’s a nice guy but you’re very mean to him”

“Mean?! Have you been hearing what I’ve been telling you? He’s a total Blue Blood. He’s up to something too, I just know it”

“There’s just no reasoning with you about him is there” said an annoyed Twilight

“Yeah, unlike you with Greg. You just run around naked for him”

Twilight immediately blushed. “That was an accident and you know it RD! I would never do something like that! You laugh at me now, but everypony’s special time is coming up soon”

“Yeah, yeah. Unlike you Hot n Ready girls. I can contain myself just fine” said Rainbow Dash with confidence

“Then why are your wings starting to poke out hmm? You better hope Brennan didn’t notice” said Twilight with a sly grin

“Rainbow Dash’s face went blank and then filled with annoyance. “For the Millionth time, I DON”T LIKE HIM!! and it's cold, if you haven't noticed Twilight”

“That’s not what your body is saying, hehehe. Anyways, let’s go see what Princess Celestia needs.

“Yeah let’s before I barf all over the place”

-Back to Zecora’s-

“Now, my new pupil true, have you gotten what I just taught you?”

Greg said nothing as he played around with his new spells, causing a mess in the hut. When he caught Zecora looking at him he stopped. “Sorry”

“You must be quite the handful”

“Eh, I am what I am. Hey you got any food here or Soda!?” asked Greg

Zecora just gave him a look that said he was starting to push his limits.

“Sorry. I guess I’ve overstayed my welcome” he said as he fixed the hut. “I’ll let myself out”

As Greg left, he noticed that it had gotten dark and the storm that occurred while he was learning magic let up. Since he didn’t have a flashlight, he used an illuminating spell to guide his way. The forest had a weird sense to it. It was very quiet with the exception of a small breeze and it was hard to see anything pass the range of light. After walking a few minutes Greg realized he had no idea how to get home. So he decided to turn back to Zecora’s over the hill to ask for directions. But when he went back over the hill, the hut was nowhere to be found.

“Huh…. Guess I’m on my own” shrugged Greg.

He took a direction by guess and headed that way. Time passed and Greg couldn’t seem to find a path that went anywhere. “Okay this is just God Damn stupid” he said in frustration. Suddenly the snap of a twig occurred. Greg checked his surroundings but saw nothing. Little tiny sounds of footprints echoed. Then the laughter of children but still Greg couldn’t see anyone.

“Okay, I’m just going to keep going”

The noises faded as he moved but not entirely, seeming to follow him. The noises turned into echoed words.

“Swiggty………. Swooty……”

“What the hell?”

“Comin………. For the…. Booty……”

“That’s creepy as hell, wait it rhymes” thought Greg. “Zecora is that you?”

………..

“Are you playing a joke on me cus this isn’t funny”

“…… Swiggty……. Swooty”

“Okay I’m gone” said Greg as he dashed off full sprint.

Although he was fast, the sounds seemed to be right behind him

“Comin…..”

“no”

“For the….”

“No”

“BOOTY”

“NO!! Screw this.”

Greg decided magic was the best answer. Yelling BIGATY BAM and clapping his hands together, he managed to make a huge expansion that lit up a great area of the forest and then creating a path way. Greg didn’t hesitate and flew down the directed path. Greg barely missed capture as he did this as a hand caught air where Greg stood. The figure it belonged to stood and watched him flee. A grin appeared on its face before Greg’s magic light faded.

As Greg neared the end of the forest a sudden rumbling happened.

“The Hell?!”

Suddenly the glowing path changed shape, forming together into a massive being. It had razor sharp fangs, claws, unearthly strength, terrifying looks, and it was three stories tall. Unbeknownst to Greg, it was an Ancient Giant Timberwolf that was somehow awakened by Greg’s magic.

“My magic has betrayed me” said Greg in despair

The beast looked down at Greg, eyeing him hungrily.

“Well screw this shit” he said as he took off in a random direction

As Greg ran he could hear the beast giving chase. The only thing that could be heard besides the monster’s barrage through the forest was Greg’s unrelenting stream of vulgar language. Not long after, Greg burst through the tree line only to find Ponyville before him.

“Just great, I lead him straight here. Whelp if I’m going to take him down, I’ll need some help.”

****
Brennan, like everypony else was asleep at this point. Greg burst through the front door and tossed something in Brennan’s room, hitting him on the head.

“Oww. What the hell dude?!” He looked over at his clock. “Do you know how damn late it is” he said angrily

“No time to explain! Just follow me to defeat the beast!”

At that moment, the monster tore the side of their house clean off and glared angrily at them.

“What did you do” Brennan asked

“Dude, like I said no time to explain.”

“You used magic didn’t you?”

“Yeah I did”

“Dammit Greg, what did you use”

“Magic, now help me kill this thing” Greg said as he used magic to create a sword. He then leapt high off the ground, enough to chop the Timberwolf’s ear off.

It howled in pain and swiped at Greg, nearly taking off his leg, brutally wounding it.

“Dammit Greg, that rarely ever works without you hurting yourself.”

Brennan’s clothes vaporized and were replaced with a Purple cloak with gauntlets and armor plating.

“Okay now what” Brennan thought but then he heard someone calling him.

“I knew you were up to no good” he heard before he was tackled to the ground, Rainbow Dash on top, pinning him to the ground.

“Rainbow I don’t have time for this, I’ve got to stop it”

“Nice try but you aint fooling me. A giant beast that has never been seen around here before shows up and your telling me it has nothing to do with you” she said glaring at him

“Well it does have something to do with us, Greg, but not in the way you thi-”

Before he could finish Rainbow Dash lifted him and kicked him, sending him flying into the nearby forest.

“I’ll stop this and take care of you later” she said before approaching the monster”

The monster was bigger then she at first thought. “Damn” she said “I could’ve used that ass as a shield”

Rainbow Dash flew around the monster confusing it and making it angrier as she attacked it bit by bit. It was able to eventually pinpoint her location and wing its claws at her. It catches her and slams her to the ground. Rainbow Dash lay stunned. It felt that something was broken and she couldn't seem to move. The monster raised its arm ready to strike the final blow. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes as she awaited death.

But it didn’t come.

She opened her eyes to see Brennan over her, protecting her from the attack.

“Why so surprised slow poke. Now who’s the ass” Brennan laughed lightly

Rainbow Dash wondered why he was acting like that and suddenly she felt something warm. She looked down to see blood drip from Brennan’s midsection. One of the monster’s claws impaled Brennan when he defended her and he was bleeding bad for it.

“Hehe, don’t look so concerned. This is just a flesh wound” he said. “GREG,YOU READY TO TAKE DOWN THIS SON A BITCH!!”

“HELL YEAH MOTHAFUCKA!!!!!” yelled Greg as he used his sword to leap above the monster. Coming down hard and fast, Greg managed to slice the monster along its spine. This allowed Brennan to free himself from its claws. Brennan then conjured up a magic beam and blasted the thing’s head right off. The monster stayed still for a moment before it suddenly turned into rubble.

“Glad that’s over with minimal damage” Greg said triumphantly

Brennan just glared at Greg. “God you better be glad I’m bleeding right now”

“What?” said Greg

“We just lost our house dude”

Twilight and the others soon approached them.

“Greg, Brennan, Rainbow Dash. Are you guys alright, what was that thing?”

“No idea, but it sure did pack quite a punch” said Greg looking at his horribly wounded leg.
Twilight’s eyes widened in horror. “Oh my Celestia Greg. My magic’s not strong enough to heal that all the way, we need to get you to a hospital! We-”

“Yeah what Twilight said. Your bleedin purty bad” said Applejack to Brennan

“Girls. It’s okay, relax, I’ve got this” said Brennan

Twilight and AJ stood confused but then realized what they did and hid in blushing embarrassment.

Brennan closed his eyes and focused.

“Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!!”

His magical aura enveloped him, Greg, and Rainbow Dash and healed their wounds.

“Oh my… That was..” Twilight said before she was interrupted

“Impressive” said a commanding feminine voice

Everyone turned to see Princess Celestia standing before them. The girls bowed in her presence while it took the boys a minute to remember.

“Sup Princess, how ya been” said Greg

The girls gasped at how Greg talked towards the princess but she didn’t think much of it.

“Just fine Greg, keeping Equestria running and finding you guys a way home. Luna wanted to be here but there was something going down in Saddle Arabia that required one of us to help. She asked me to tell Brennan Hi”
The girls looked at Brennan in awe but none more than Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

“I just came to check on everypony and find out what just happened” said Celestia

“Yeah Greg, what did happen” Brennan said turning to Greg as did the others

“I was walking home from the woods when I got lost. So I used some magical magic to light my way. But then a giant monster appeared and chased me here. Then we beat it, and that’s about it”

“Well that magic wasn’t in my books that you read, so where did you learn those spells” Brennan asked

“Zecora’s”

“Who’s that?”

“This nice Zebra lady”

“I’m not even going to ask”

“We know Zecora” said the girls

“Well I hope next time you use your abilities with care. Otherwise you’ll be dealing with me” said Celestia in a way that eluded to something other than what was said. No one paid much attention though.

The sounds of Clapping occurred and everyone turned to see the citizens of Ponyville cheering for their new heroes.

“You know what this calls for….. A party” said Pinky with excitement

“Yeah but it’s late so I’m going to go to sleep… Oh wait, we don’t have a house” Brennan said sadly seeing the damage of the house in the nearby distance

“Time to go camping” yelled Greg with excitement

“Greg we have no camping gear, not to mention our troubles started in the forest, so why would we go there again?”

“For the adventure!!”

Applejack decided to butt in at this point.

“I have some room at my place. One of ya’ll could stay with me

“I also have some room too, if that’s okay with you two” said Fluttershy quietly

“Sounds nice, guess I’ll be staying with you Fluttershy. At least till we build our house” said Greg

“Okay AJ, looks like I’m visiting again. Just let me grab my things”

That’s when their house collapsed in on itself due to lack of support.

“DAMMIT GREG!!!!”

“Dude chill, we’ll fix it later, for now let’s retire for the night. By the way, you need to work on your healing spells because my leg is still mangled ”

“What are you talking about? I did fix it!”

“No you didn’t look”

While Brennan’s magic did heal some of the damage , there was much to fix.

Greg ripped a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around like a bandage to stop the bleeding. “Nothing a little medication and soda can’t fix” Greg said as he tried to stand, only to fall right back down.

“You know what fine, you go ahead and do that. I don’t really have the energy for this at this point. AJ if you’re ready? Ladies, Princess, I wish you all goodnight” Brennan said walking away

“Okay bye” said Greg cheerfully from the ground

Twilight heaved Greg up with the help of her magic as her, Pinky, Fluttershy, and Celestia helped get him to Fluttershy’s cottage. Rarity went back to town to check on Sweetie Belle and Spike.

They got Greg in the house and Fluttershy made room to place Greg down on a bed. Once he was situated, Twilight said a caring farewell as she left with the Princess. Fluttershy got the help of her animal friends to gather supplies. Once she had what she needed she began to try her best to help Greg’s leg. Lucky for Greg, he passed out on the way to her house, so he was an easy patient for her.

She wiped her brow as she sealed up and stitched the wound and wrapped fresh bandages around his leg.

“Done” she quietly said

It was weird to have Greg back in her house under similar conditions again. Fluttershy remembered being scared of them the first time they arrived all banged up and once again one of them was here hurt. Fluttershy wished she could do more than to heal them physically but she was too shy to try anything. She could at least do one thing.

Fluttershy began to sing a song. Not like the lullabies she sings to her animals but one completely original. She sang for her, she sang for Greg, sang to vow to be stronger like someone she knew long ago.

Greg started to stir and open his eyes.

“F-Fluttershy? Is that you?”

“I’m terribly sorry, I’ll let you rest” she said surprised, getting up quickly.

“Where you singing” Greg asked

Fluttershy stopped and turned around.

“U-um yes” she said looking at the ground. “Did I disturb you with it?”

“Well I didn’t hear it. So would you mind singing it again” he asked

Fluttershy blushed and tried to shrink as much of herself as she could.

“Umm okay.”

Fluttershy sat back down and after a minute of regaining herself, she began to sing again. The song reminded Greg of a character in a video game he played back home. Something about a warrior and princess. He couldn’t remember but he found it quite soothing.

“You have quite the lovely voice. I bet you get all the other stallions in a fit when they hear you sing” Greg said after she finished

Fluttershy blushed even harder and hid behind her hair.

“Actually, I don’t sing around many ponies. I don’t really sing that song either”

“Oh” said Greg. “Well it’s very nice. By the way I’ve gotta say, thank you for fixin my leg up. I bet I could go for a run right now” said

Greg as he stood up only to fall flat on his face.

“Oh heavens! That was a really bad idea” said Fluttershy lifting Greg up and back on the bed.

“Well this just sucks” said Greg

“Oh don’t worry; it won’t be too long before your back up. I’ll try to make your stay as best as possible”

“Okay thanks I guess. Thanks…. Hey Fluttershy, I’ve been meaning to ask this but I don’t know why. When we trained that first day your outfit looked like it didn’t fit much at all. Is that your style or does it belong to someone else?”

Fluttershy’s expression turned to sadness.

“Well… actually… No, it’s not mine” she said

“Whose is it” asked Greg

“It’s…. It’s….. It’s my Father’s” she said, finally able to say the words.

“Your Father’s!?”

“Yes” she said looking at the ground

“Well he must have been pretty strong, if you learned your skills from him” Greg complimented

“He was” Fluttershy said

A moment of silence passed between them

“When I was little, I couldn’t fly very well and like I am today I was scared of everything. I used to get picked on by others. My parents, especially my father saw me differently. He didn’t let the words of others about me bring him down or upset him. He told me that I was a special little pony and that others hadn’t realized it yet. He also helped me to overcome some of my fears like talking. Those lessons helped me to gain my first friend Rainbow Dash in school. She would always stick up for me and see me for who I was. One day though when she wasn’t at school, the bullies came and picked on me. They even beat me up and threw me in a dumpster. When my dad heard about this, he was mad but instead of going after them, he decided to teach me self defense. My dad made sure that I had it in my head that I was to never use my new skills for revenge or selfish matters. Only to protect myself or the one’s I loved and cared for. So I pretty much stayed the same way I was in school, quiet and shy. The bullies tried me again but instead of getting Rainbow Dash or fighting, I remembered what my dad said and I didn’t fight. I did however find a way to get them in trouble. When I got home that evening my father had a present for me. It was a white baby bunny, who is now known as Angel. My father got him for me because he heard how I handled the matter and was proud. My parents laughed at my excitement and it was the greatest gift my dad gave me. So life went on pretty normally.

Until one day.

We were all sleeping one night when the sound of broken glass happened. My parents quickly came and got me. They went to go put me in our secret hiding spot but when we got there my dad insisted that mom stay with me. After much thought she agreed and my dad left. A few minutes passed and my mother decided to go check on my father. “Stay here Flutter dear, Mommy’s going to go find daddy. Don’t come out” she said. Being paralyzed in fear that was all I could do. My mother left and I was alone. I heard a few noises while I waited but nothing else and then silence. After a long period of time, I came out. I found Angel coming out of my room and picked him up in my arms. I called out my parents but got no answers. “I eventually found my mother who was hit in the head with something and knocked out. I tried to wake her but she wouldn’t come to. Seeing that she was still breathing, I then searched desperately for my father……. I didn’t fail. I found my father lying on the living room floor. I ran over to him and tried to wake him. “Daddy… Daddy!!” I cried but he wouldn’t wake up. I noticed my father was wet with something, a substance I wasn’t familiar with at the time. “Daddy… Daddy… WAKE UP!!” My mom awoke to my cries and came over to me. Seeing my father, she tried to do the same things I did but shortly broke down into tears. “Mommy, why won’t Daddy wake up” I asked over and over. My mother only cried harder. Eventually the cops were called and my dad was taken away. I found out later in my life that my dad died of multiple stab wounds and that the murders were never captured. People all over Cloudsdale came to the funeral, praising my father and telling me I was a brave little filly.”

By this point Fluttershy was in tears crying her heart out.

“Fluttershy, I’m sorry for asking” said Greg getting up to comfort her.

“But I wasn’t brave. I just sat there. If only I could have done something but I was scared. I’m scared to do anything. I’m useless and I bring shame to my Family” she cried

“Fluttershy don’t say that. It’s not true. I’m sure your dad would be proud of the beautiful, strong, young mare you are today” Greg said wiping away her tears.

Fluttershy slowly regained herself and dried any remaining tears she had.

“Thank you Greg, you’re a wonderful person.”

“And you are too, don’t ever forget that.”

Fluttershy went to go hug Greg but she tripped over something on the floor and fell into Greg. They crashed onto the bed. Fluttershy grabbed onto Greg tightly during the fall and ripped his shirt. Her hands now lay down on his bare chest. Fluttershy looked up and then turned away quickly growing red hot, realizing where she was. Before Greg could say anything she dashed out of the room closing the door behind her but quickly came back and tossed him a new shirt and closed the door again.

“She’s so adorable” Greg said smiling as he turned the shirt into a turban to protect his valuable fro and went to bed.

-Sweet Apple Acres-

The walk to Sweet Apple Acres was not as active this time around since Applejack was being quiet, not ever really looking up or at Brennan.

“Hey AJ what’s wrong?”

Applejack reacted with a twitch. “Huh, oh it’s nothing sugarcube.”

Brennan noticed Applejack’s facial expression changed into a slight pucker and she looked back down at the ground.

“It sure seems like it’s something.”

“Nope” she said quickly looking away

“Come on AJ you can’t fool me, I can tell your lying to me. You’re the element of Honesty after all so tell me.”

Applejack said nothing and then started to run.

“Hey wait come back” Brennan yelled as he took off after her.

Applejack saw that he was chasing her and she ran off the path into the woods. Brennan made haste to keep up with her. Applejack seemed to know her way around the woods which made it even harder for him to follow but then he remembered the skills he taught himself from that acrobatic guy from that popular video game he played back home and started to leap up the trees. This gave him an advantage as he could see the top of the tree line and follow Applejack. He jumped from each tree to the next with pinpoint accuracy and agility.

Applejack took notice and as she passed by a tree she gave it an apple bucking kick, causing the some trees to shake or topple over. Brennan had to be mistake free to avoid any slips or fall with the trees. As he got to a close distance, he did a leap of faith as he now let physics take its course and hope for the best. Unfortunately for him his leap of faith caused him to smack head first into a tree that she had bucked. So he toppled over with it.

Applejack was able to escape to wherever she was going since the tree fell on top of Brennan pinning him. Brennan cursed to himself at being careless and tried to lift the tree off of him but it wouldn’t budge. He decided to use his powers to lift the tree. However his plan didn’t work out as someone pulled it off for him. He looked up to see it was Big Mac, Applejack’s brother.

“Oh hey, thanks for getting that off of me really appre-”

A sudden force cut Brennan off as he was sent into another tree, splintering it. Big Mac rushed him and grabbed him by the throat.

“You tryin ta harm mah sister” he said angrily

“Dude what are you talking about” Brennan said through chokes

“Shut up! Applebloom said she saw AJ running from you, what in the hay we’re you trying to do you SICK PIECE OF MANURE?”
Big Mac’s assertiveness made Brennan tense up.

“Dude easy, I wasn’t trying to do anything, I was just trying to find out what she was keeping from me.”

Big Mac grew hot with rage and Brennan could see that he misunderstood what he said.

“Big Mac, that’s not what I-”

Big Mac slammed him to the ground, stomped him, and slammed him again. He then swung Brennan around, sending him through the trees. Wood and leaves exploded every which way as Brennan could only enjoy the ride. He stopped about a mile away and rolled a few extra feet. He couldn’t feel anything but he heard footsteps. He looked up to see Applebloom.

“I..It wasn’t what it-”

“You won’t be harming my sister EVER!!”

Applebloom put him on his feet and went into a frenzy attack into his lower abdomen and then Bicycle kicked him into the air by his groin. She then watched him fall as she waited for the right moment and round house kicked him across the field. Brennan smashed into a barn about ten seconds into flight and landed with a deafening thud. Bones were definitely broken, if not everything and Brennan couldn’t budge an inch. “Why me” he thought “What did I do wrong?”

“Oh looky here, you look like you’ve been in some trouble” said an elderly voice. Brennan recognized it was Granny Smith, he hoped that she wasn’t after him too.

“H….help me” he said faintly

“Oh don’t you worry, I will” she said assuringly but something didn’t sound right in her voice.

She lifted Brennan up and shifted him towards the barn door. Then out of nowhere, she placed taps on his vital spots with astonishing speed and then stood still. Brennan didn’t feel any pain and was wondering if she was just playing. He then felt something he never felt before as all of Granny Smith’s taps turned into brutal impacts as it almost crumpled his body. She then placed a finger at his central core and muttered “Release!!” sending him flying through the door.

“It’s official, I’m gonna die tonight and it blows” he thought as he lay motionless looking up at the cold night sky, the familiar taste and feel of warm blood on his body. He could hear the sounds of footsteps as three figures came into his blurry view.
“Now to make sure you’ll never get near her ever again” they said as it looked like they were about to give the final blow

“STOP” yelled what seemed to be Applejack. “WHAT ARE YA’LL DOIN?!!”

“Oh nothing deary just disposing our property of this filth” said Granny

“He’s not filth why are ya’ll doin this?!”

“Because he was chasin you down the road, I saw him thinking he was gonna harm you” said Applebloom

“Sweet Celestia, he wasn’t going to harm me and he really wasn’t chasin me”

“Then what was going on” her family asked

Applejack’s expression changed to shyness. “I… well… ya see. It’s none of ya’lls business okay it definitely wasn’t whatever ya’ll were thinking”

Brennan began to cough up blood as he tried to move.

“Oh my, are you okay sugarcube, can you say anything” Applejack asked running and sitting down next to Brennan

Brennan tried to mouth something but it didn’t work.

“Well ya’ll put him in this mess and you’re surly going to help him out, GO GET THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND HELP HIM” Applejack shouted with absolute authority. Her family ran off to do as they were told. Brennan tapped Applejack on the leg and got her to look at him.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine soon” she said smiling down at him, her emerald eyes glistening in the moonlight while trying to stop the bleeding with a piece of her shirt that she tore off.

Brennan moved his fingers to her face and signaled for her to follow them.

“What is it” she asked

He moved his fingers to the ground and began to draw weakly, out something. Applejack looked and saw that it was a book that she thought she’d seen before.

“A book? What good will that do” she asked

Brennan just looked at her and she thought about it. “Oh is that your magic book or something” she asked. Brennan somewhat nodded. “Where is it?” He pointed to the woods. “Okay don’t you worry I’ll get it for you, just rest here” she said taking off.
“What else am I supposed to do” he thought. “Why me?”

As he laid there he thought about sending Greg a message telling him what happened, hoping that it would come across as a warning not to mess with the Apple family, and not a friendly invitation to screw up everything since Greg tended to get them mixed up. He thought better of it and decided he would just tell Greg later.

In the meantime, Applejack had finally come back with his book.

“Is this what you wanted” she asked

Brennan nodded

“Did any of mah family come back?”

Brennan shook his head

“Damn them all” she said. “Okay so why did you want this book?”

Brennan opened the book and flipped the best he could until he found what he wanted. He then flipped the book toward Applejack, pointed to some words and then pointed to his mouth and mimicked speaking.

“D… Do you want me to say this?”

Brennan nodded

“But I don’t know how to do this kind of stuff.”

Brennan grabbed her hand and brought it to his chest, bringing her a slight blush. He then looked into her eyes with a face that signaled: Trust me because I Trust you.

“Okay if you think so darling” she said. Applejack then spoke the words and a bright purple aura lit between them. Brennan began to flinch as the sound of shattered and broken bone and organs repaired themselves inside him, even letting out a few yelps.

“Oh come on it can’t be that bad” smiled Applejack

“Would you like to try” Brennan said sternly

Applejack laughed. “You’re such a little filly”

“Well I certainly feel like one with you always calling me sugarcube or darling like Rarity. Or is there another reason you do that” Brennan smirked

Applejack planted her other hand firmly on Brennan’s hip causing him to wince. “Do you really want to make fun of me with the shape you’re in” she said with sinister eyes and a seductive smile.

“Sorry” he said

“Good boy”

The process reached its end and Brennan’s structure was fixed but he still was bleeding here and there. Luckily Applejack’s family came at that moment.

“Hey mister, we’re real sorry for misunderstanding what you were up to” said Applebloom with big puppy dog eyes that you couldn’t be mad at

“Nnnope” said Big Mac

Applejack gave him a death stare and Big Mac mumbled a sorry.

“It’s okay guys; let’s just not do this again okay”

“Here let’s get you inside and cleaned up” said Granny Smith as the Apple family lifted and carried him to their house.

Once inside, they cleaned and bandaged Brennan up, replacing his damaged clothes with fresh clean ones, having Big Mac take care of that part of course.

“Thanks for the clothes Brennan said to Big Mac, but Big Mac just gave him a glare. He said under his breath so no one but Brennan would hear: “If you so much as make mah sister even the tiniest bit upset, or touch her, I will kill you” then he walked away.

“Why does he hate me so much” Brennan thought

Applejack then entered the room. “C’mon she said”

“To where?”

“My bedroom of course, where else ya gonna sleep?”

Big Mac jerked his bedroom door open but only to receive a chair to the face thrown by Applejack.

“U-um Applejack dear, you don’t have to do that. We have the extra room open” said Granny

“No we don’t Granny!”

“Oh…. Well how about the couch?”

“It’s winter, he’ll freeze.”

“Then why don’t you sleep on the couch?”

“Hell No!”

Granny Smith gasped in horror. “Applejack such language!”

“Don’t give me that rotten mash, I know what you’re doing and its not going to work. It’s cold, Brennan’s hurt, and I know ya’ll won’t want to watch over him, So He is Going to Sleep With ME!!”

The house fell silent and Granny Smith just gave a slight nod. “Okay goodnight”

“Applejack, you didn’t need to be so mean to your family” said Brennan

“No, with the way they treated I’m surprised you can say that.”

“They just misunderstood”

“Ahh Horse Feathers! I know what they were up to.”

“And that was?”

“Don’t worry about it c’mon” she said motioning to the room

“Well you’re very eager to get me in bed” Brennan joked.

“I guess I’ll just call for Big Mac”

“A thousand pardons Madam” Brennan said bowing

****

“I’m gonna go change and clean up a bit before I hit the hay, just make yourself comfortable okay suga… Brennan.”

“Um, okay”

Applejack left the room as Brennan prepared himself for the night as well.

“Damn” he said as a new surge of pain entered his body. “Why do they hate me so much, I haven’t done anything to them have I? I knew this was a bad choice.”

“You touch her, you die boy!”

Brennan quickly looked around the room looking for whoever said that. He looked towards the window and saw Big Mac looking at him through the window. Suddenly Applejack walked back in and Big Mac disappeared. Brennan turned around and turned as red as a crisp apple on summer afternoon. Applejack entered wearing nothing but a one piece lingerie gown.

The whole piece together was red delicious red with the top part having spaghetti straps and a white lace pattern and the top and bottom part of the gown. The length covered enough past her waist concealing her panties. It fell snug on her revealing her upper cleavage. Brennan noticed too that there were green apples on the side of the gown. Applejack noticed the silence in the room

“Um you okay there, Brennan?”

Brennan snapped back into reality and quickly turned away from her.

“Applejack!! Why are you wearing that?”

“What this? It’s my night gown, besides I wore it last time you were here I just had a shirt over it.”

“WHAT!?”

“Oh calm down Sugar Tits, this can’t possibly be the first time you’ve seen a girl like this.”

Brennan perked up and tried to turn toward Applejack.

“What are you trying to say, and did you just call me Sugar Tits?”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll cover up if it bothers you so much. Does it bother you” she said her eyes seductively looking at him.
Brennan blushed again.

“Anyways it’s getting late we should go to sleep but first…”

Applejack went to her closet and produced a giant rock from it. She then started walking toward the window.

“Um AJ what are you doing?”

“Shhhh”

Applejack then opened the window and looked out.

“Hey Big Mac!!”

“Huh?”

Applejack then dropped the rock and a loud crash occurred a few seconds later.

“Next time it’ll be my hoof shoved up your plot” she shouted to him closing the window.

She turned to see a trembling Brennan by the bedside.

“Don’t be scared, it’s just what us Apples do” she said moving to her drawer grabbing a white T-shirt.

“You’re pretty scary when you want to be” Brennan said

“Oh, that’s not what you were thinking a minute ago now was it sugarcube?”

“I… I wasn’t thinking anything; I wasn’t even looking at you!”

“But you wanted to didn’t you?”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself AJ, what would your family think” Brennan said confidently thinking that would get her.

“Oh I wouldn’t worry about them but Rainbow Dash on the other hand, now that would be a shame since you like her and all.”

Applejack struck a chord as Brennan fell silent.

“Rainbow Dash? Don’t make me laugh to death, like hell I would ever like her”

“You know, you’re a terrible liar Sugar Tits” Applejack giggled.

“I’m not lying and quit calling me Sugar Tits” Brennan yelled

“Oh well then…” Applejack turned off the lights, bringing complete darkness into the room for Brennan, at least until his eyes adjusted.

He looked around to find where Applejack went but it was no use. Applejack with deadly silence quickly found him and pounced on him, pinning him on his back as she sat on top of him. She then whispered into his ear “I guess you won’t mind this then” as she took off his shirt and placed her hands on his chest.

“What the hell are you doing AJ” he asked as he heart began to race

Applejack smiled as Brennan’s eyes adjusted to the dark. Her teeth reflecting off the lights of the night. Her eyes creating that starry sparkle that he saw earlier.

“Oh, you love saying my nickname don’t ya? I can feel that you do” she said pressing down on him, making sure to shift her lower side slightly.

“Why are you doing this” Brennan asked

“Well if you don’t like Rainbow then this shouldn’t bother you, now should it sugarcube. In fact let’s move on” she said as she slid her hands slowly off Brennan and motioned him to follow her fingers as they traced up her curves to the bottom of her gown and then tugged under as she began to slowly slid the gown up. At this point Brennan couldn’t take it anymore.

“Stop” he said grabbing her hands

“Does that mean, you admit it?”

“I don’t admit anything, but this is indecent, and I’m uncomfortable”

“Oh? Surely your body tells me another story, but its okay I know what’s up” she giggled getting off of him but as she did a piece of her gown was caught on Brennan’s and she stumbled and fell on top of him. In that instant Brennan’s instincts kicked in and his hands reacted without thought.

“Whoa there partner, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing, what are you doing!? What was that about?”

“Easy, it’s simple you just couldn’t resist me could you”

“No that is not it!”

“Then why do you have a firm hold on my plot?”

“I don’t have….” Brennan noticed the touch at that moment as his hand squeezed something soft and round. All brain activity ceased at the moment.

Applejack only looked at him and smiled. “I think it’s definitely time to go to sleep” she said raising her arm. Brennan knew what was coming but he was too slow to stop it as she gave him another knockout punch. She then got them both into bed as she cradled him in her bosom.

“You’re such a pervert” she whispered to him.
