Previous ChapterNext ChapterWaking up Ray looked around to see Applejack dressed in what he could guess were work clothes today she wore a white orange flannel shirt, short denim short that left little to the imagination, worn out cowboy boots, and a worn looking hat that looked to be older than her by a good 50 years. Sitting up he crack his back and neck making it audible to everyone around turning Applejack saw Ray a blush coming to her face Ray cocked an eyebrow and said "So where you going ?"
"Huh. . . . oh ah'm goin to thah farm to work."
"Cool could i join you sitting her doesn't exactly sit well with me."
"Okay but you got somethin else tah wear ?" Applejack asked standing up Ray used his powers to change into a black T-shirt, worn out jeans that had holes at the knees, same boots, and he wore a San Jose Sharks hat smiling he said "Good for you ?" Applejack nodded gulping slightly with the short sleeves of Rays shirt she could see the well defined muscles that looked wonderful. Reaching forward Ray snapped his fingers infront of her face shaking her head she said "Yeah but how will you get through town ?"
"Figured i would go around."
"Look hun there are only two ways to the farm way one is through Ponyville and way two is through the Everfree and ah think you should just go way one with me."
"Um okay but how ?"
"Can yah change into a pony ?"
"Hmmmm i did bump into a couple of ponies on the way here lets play mix and match !!!" Ray said pointing to the ceiling sitting down he closed his eyes feeling like it had been hours since he sat down then he began to change into a earth pony he grew a black coat and a red mane and tail when he opened his eyes they were still the same deep gold as before standing up he asked "So AJ how do i look ?"
"You look good but i like yah better as a person."
"Thanks anyway lets get going." Ray said walking to the door and opening it for AJ smiling she walked through thanking him for his gentlecoltness.
(Halfway through Ponyville)
Ray was walking beside AJ the both of them laughing "Anways so when i turn to my buddy i say 'who the hell is Mushy !!!!' and he says 'Your mushy your mushy !!' and thats why i hate pudding." laughing AJ looked to Ray seeing his smile and cheerful look smiling she said "But why were you at the factory in the first place ?"
"Rule of the day never mix Tequila, Jack Daniels, Vodka, and stuff call the Green fairy man i still don't know how we got a tank upside down AND ontop of that apartman building."
"But your strong maybe you threw it up there ?"
"No we learned that alchohol in massive amounts can impare certain aspects of our powers so basically i was like a regular person BUT i could still change into other people."
"Ahhh so did you try doin it again ?"
"Ha no the only reason i stole that tank was cause the green fairy told me to."
"Green fairy ?"
"Yep don't ask."
"Okay ah won't." AJ said walking through town she swayed her hips slightly causing Ray to look at her ass blinking he shook his head and looked around seeing the different kinds of ponies but for some reason he saw mostly mares and very few stallions most of them glaring at him. Turning he taped AJ on the shoulder turning she looked at him with deep emerald eyes catching his breath sighing he asked "So why are there so many mares compared to stallions ?" looking around she saw the glares he was getting form the stallions sighing she said "Well here and ah mean this country for every 6 fillies born 2 colts are born so basically slim pickings and stallions are pretty aggressive to newcomers to different towns and cities."
"Ahh so is polygamy allowed ?"
"Yes but up to two or three mares could be in a group with a stallion."
"Wow so some stuff must have gone down for them to put a cap on it."
"Yep but don't worry they probably won't mess with yah."
"Oh i'm not worried about me its them that you should be worried about."
"Well don't go picking fights ah don't want you getting hurt."
"Okay i won't so how far till the-" walking up a stallion blocked the twos path smiling to Applejack he leaned down this stallion was well built he had a light grey coat and dark chestnut brown mane and tail his eyes were a deep blue he wore a suit and he screamed I'm a lawyer or some reach snob asshole (He is an earthpony). Smiling he looked at AJ and said "So AJ you want to ditch Mr.City trash here and get some dinner ?" cocking an eyebrow Ray looked down at what he was wearing looking up he heard AJ say "Sorry but me and Ray here go some work to do."
"Really well maybe you should reconsider i mean my dad is Filthy Rich plus i'm the number one lawyer in Manehatttan and Los Pegasus."
"So your rich big deal you only want to be with me cause of my status."
"Now Applejack wait a minute i just want some coffee to get to know you better !!" he said catching offense crossing her arms AJ cocked her eyebrow Ray chuckled a little turning the stallion asked "Whats so funny ?" shrugging Ray said "The fact you want her for her status."
"Do you know what it is !?!?"
"Am i supposed to ?"
"Yes everypony knows !!!"
"Well mister big shot lawyer i rather be me than everypony."
"Your really trying to piss me off aren't you."
"Nah if i was i'd comment on your mane color."
"About about my mane color ?" the stallion growled smiling Ray motioned for AJ to get behind him just to see what happens she did noticing that ponies were looking to the group with curious looks in their eyes. Still smiling Ray said "Your hair it reminds me of a mushroom i once saw you know the kind you find under trees after a few days of rain."
"So my head looks like a mushroom ?"
"Huh oh nononono."
"Good now if you-"
"It looks like play dough you know the stuff kids play with so you wearin a wig ?" as soon as Ray said those words the stallion snapped swinging at Ray catching him across the jaw. Ray didn't even budge looking him in the eye he smiled reaching up he grabbed the stallions wrist pushing him to the ground laning on his ass in a puddle he looked up to Ray as if he were a monster cracking his jaw Ray said "Okay you should run now" turning the stallion scurried off turning Ray raised his hands and yelled "Are you note entertained !!!"
(Entrance to Sweet apple acres)
Ray was rubbing his eye AJ had punched him after that little encounter pouting he had learned the staillions name Grand Judgment or Judge for short he is son of the richest stallion in Ponyville third richest in the country. Frowning Ray began to cry crocodile tears turning AJ said "That ain't gonna fool me sugar but ah do have this to say, thanks fer that he has been after me and the girls since Discord."
"Why ?"
"Me and the girls are known as the elements of harmony and we've defeated alot of bad guys and saved three different nations around four different times."
"OK don't care about that."
"Why not ?" AJ asked giving Ray a look scanning to see if he was lieing looking up he said "Cause that just stuff you've done believe me i've done shit that makes me a hero among my kind and a titan to others."
"Like what ?"
"I threw a building once."
"Really now and why did you do that ?"
"Had to break out some friends for Heller to combat BLACK WATCH."
"Ok can you explain why."
"AJ i can't its just. . . well. . . . I can't its just you wouldn't see me the same after i do all you'd do is pity me and stuff."
"But ah wouldn't do that to yah ."
"Wish i could believe you." Ray said his gold eyes dulling and making his eyes have a bronze look pulling back AJ hugged the man saying into his ear "Ah won't push any farther but one day you will tell me, but at your own time deal ?" reaching up Ray hugged her saying "Deal." turning the two walked up to the house sitting on the porch was an elderly green mare with light grey man and tail her mane was in a tight bun looking up she greeted the two "Hey huny how are you and who is this young atallion."
"Hi my name is Ray its nice to meet AJs grandmother."
"Well its good to see you so how do you know my grand daughter."
"Well i'm new to tow and i met her at the market asking her if she knew where i could get a job and she said you were lookin for some help."
"Ahh well you were right we are out in the fields AJ works-"
"AH don't need help !!!"
"Oh hush you do need help so Ray go and get started out in the field while i talk tah her."
"Ok just hurry." Ray said turning and walking to the field watching him go AJ sighed then felt a cane pull him down eye to eye with her grandmother staring into her eyes her grandmother said "You've got him on the mind ah can tell you better hurry before mares start to make their move."
"A-ah don't know w-what y-your t-talkin about!!!"
"Yah do AJ so don't push these feelings done its only gonna hurt yah."
"O-okay."
(West fields 23 minutes later)
Ray sat down under one of the many apple orchads waiting on AJ and wondering what she and her grandmother were talking about sighing he began to drift off into a deep slumber. Turning on his side Ray saw a mare walking up to him she had a light purple mane and tail her coat was a light blue she was wearing black jeans dark purple shirt and a black cowboy hat Ray barely knew her and she screamed trouble. Sitting up he crack his back turning to leave he heard the mare say "So your the new farm hand granny mentioned what do you think about him Applebloom."
Turning around Ray saw the mare had a small child with her looking at the kid Ray noticed that she had a deep red mane and tail while her coat was a light butter yellow she wore an orange T-shirt and some overalls on her hooves were cowboy boots. Cocking an eye brow Ray simply shook his head sitting back down he stared at the clouds passing by when he heard the girl say "Exuse me mister do yah have a cutiemark ?" turning Ray saw the kid getting close to him thinking quickly he hacked the memories of the girl and women to learn (A cutie mark is located in three places on either side of your ass cheeks, on one shoulder and the forearm of your dominant arm) thinking quickly Ray remmebered his tattoo quickly coping it to these areas (His tattoo looks like the call of duty ghost symbol with two swords crossing infront of a cog in the background) pulling his arm forward he showed the girl his forearm. Looking to him she smiled then jumping up and down she quickly asked "How did you get your cutiemark could yah tell me !?!?"
Ray looked at her shaking his head he didn't answer all he did was pull his hat over his eyes and try to get some sleep until he felt a person lightly kick his leg pushing the hat up he sees the mare glaring at him slightly. Standing up Ray toweres over the girl looking down at her in a cold tone he says "Back off this isn't a story she should her."
"Why not sweeten it for her then ?" she growled back Applebloom moved behind the mare looking at her Ray began to laugh not one you wish someone to laugh a more sadistic laugh "I got this because of what i did during a small squirmish while i was protecting people it means im a ghost and the story behind it is ONE I wish to keep to myself or to people i trust."
Looking at the man the mare huffed turing on her heel she stalked back to the house sitting back down he heard sniffling looking up he saw Applebloom about to cry sighing Ray said "Hey Applebloom was it (She nods) you don't have to cry."
"B-b-but the last t-t-time this happened mah sister stopped t-t-talking to us."
"Look you just met me doesn't and all you know is my cutie mark (Ray mentally facepalmed at saying this) and thats it."
"O-okay well i should go."
"Oh no you don't Applebloom your gonna help me and Ray with this field today." turning the two saw AJ walking up to them looking at her Applebloom smiled then looked to the ground losing the smile "Are yah still mad it me AJ ?"
"Applebloom you did nothin to make me angry now lets git these fields done."
(A work day later)
Ray was on the ground laying on his side sweat covered his face Applebloom and AJ were laughing at him turning the two heard the dinner bell "Bye Ray bye AJ. . . . do you think i could stay at Fluttershys house tomorrow ?"
"Ah'll ask her tonight honey now git to the house." nodding Applebloom ran off giggling happily turning she saw Ray standing up cracking his shoulder groaning slighly the sweat was gone along with his tired look AJ's jaw hit the ground smiling Ray said "What did you think that affected me i'm an evolved."
