Paragons

The answer was simple and came quickly, food. Ray stomach grumbled and

my stomach told his stomach to shut up... With more grumbling.

I spoke up stating the obvious, "I'm hungry."

He gave his famous 'your an idiot' face and rolled his eyes, "I think we need that new magical substance called FOOD moron."

I looked back with a more than sarcastic gasp, "WHAT?! What is this 'food' of which you speak?"

He facepalmed, wait... facehoofed, then we heard a sound he has been waiting for since we first got here. The sound of a a single cyan blue blur fly across the sky. He stared up oblivious that he was still moving in a forward direction, his wings were straight up in the air. Hehehe, we knew what that meant down below.

His eyes swelled with brief envy, his heart was audibly thumping. No words could describe how much he wanted her, the one and only Rainbow Dash. But me being a dick smacked him upside the head hard enough to knock a whole algebra book into him.

He jumped, "Huh? Damn it Rayne!" I laughed, "Come on, you gotta get us

some food... Not drool."

***Ray***

We each decide to split up in our quest for food. Grumbling at Rayne's attempt to get my attention I looked around in the market. Immediately the smell of baked goods hit me, oh boy them apples. I walked over, following the sweet smell and found a stand loaded with apple based goods.

I was literally drooling, but I stopped myself from covering the food in saliva. "Howdy!" Said a most familiar southern voice. I looked up and there was Applejack, standing behind the stall. "Can ah help you?" She asked. I then almost face hoofed again realizing that I had no money, so with my quick thinking, I came up with a plan.

"Yes, actually I don't have any money, but, I figured we could make a trade." Applejack gave me a look over and said "Alright, what do yah have in mind?" I could pay you back for the food for helping you on your farm" She gave me a serious look "How do yah know bout mah farm?" Well shit, me and my big mouth, gotta think of a cover.

"Well, you see I saw you working there and I figured I could help" not completely a lie, but a half truth. She gave me a serious stare as if trying to break my poker face. She then went back to normal Aj and seemed glad that I'd offer help. "Well that seems like a fair deal" She extended her hoof towards me and waited.

I did the same and she gave me one hell of a hoof shake. "So, what do yah want from mah fine selections?" I gave the food a look over, she had normal apples, fritters, pies, if it was once an apple it was here. "I'll have two apple pies please" she then reached behind the counter and pulled out two pies.

"Oh, I nearly forgot, I have a friend with me, he's around here somewhere, is it alright if he comes and works on your farm too?" She perked up at this "If he can buck apples like I hope you can then, sure." "What time should we be there?" Aj put her hoof to her chin and thought. "About 10:35 should be fine".

I gave my thanks and grabbed the pies, I places them on my back and used my wings to hold them in place. "Now, where in gods name is Rayne?" I muttered.
