Chapters New Life with Apples and Love
%Chapter One%
My name is Scott and you don’t know me. Practically no one knows me where I used to live, but you know what that’s okay. I’m here to tell a story of how everything changed for me when my school finally learned about Equestria and the mirror of worlds. Like before, Twilight an apparent royal, came through a mirror to retrieve her crown and well we learned the mirror opens more than just one time.
Celestia and Twilight rulers of the kingdom of Equestria finally decided to open the mirror to the humans and let them explore their world. They thought that maybe both worlds can exist in harmony. Come to find out the princesses were wrong. I slipped through the mirror because i was on a field trip one of the last. The world was falling apart because instead of a world of harmony, the human world sought out the power Celestia and the elements of harmony possessed.
It had been a good peaceful month after Celestia and Twilight had agreed to let the mirror be a field trip for the children of earth to be able to explore new worlds and be able to make connections with the Equestrians and become allies in search of harmony. It was the last day anyone could go to Equestria the military pushed the president and like always he caved my class field trip to Equestria was the last civilian journey.
Our teacher fearing what would happen the next day went with us to try and save Equestria and warn them. She did well and the princesses decided to destroy the mirror if she destroyed the other mirror as well. I was living at an orphanage at the time I was young and naive but I knew exactly what the orphanage was like. Once you leave you had to pay for your stay for most of your life afterwards unless a couple adopted you for a big sum of cash. Hint no one ever got adopted. I knew that if I wanted to truly be free it was to stay in Equestria.
“Alright class it’s time to get ready to leave say goodbye to Equestria if you made friends here because you won’t be able to come back. The princesses and I have come to the agreement that this world must be kept safe or both our worlds will fall into chaos.” Mrs. Appleseed said looking down at the class.
I stared at the mirror everyone was about to go through as I walked towards my teacher. “Mrs. Appleseed?” I asked getting her attention. “I know there is nothing for me except the orphanage back in our world c-can I stay please? I won’t cause any trouble I promise I just want to have a real home please?!!” she looked at me in my pony form seeing how I was just a simple earth pony big and muscular but most of all afraid to go back because today was my nineteenth birthday.
The two sisters of the orphanage were going to have me pay them back by selling me for cash doing odd jobs and well selling my body like a whore at a whore house. I am a just a young adult but more than legal and I got fired from my job so I had nothing to pay them with.
“Well Scott it just so happens that the princesses here are very kind and you are of age so I don’t see why not…” Mrs. Apple said as I felt my whole entire body quiver with excitement knowing I had a chance to stay.
“THANK YOU SO MUCH MRS. APPLESEED!!!” I said loudly, bellowing in my deep voice I was unfortunately born with, hugging her as I started towards the throne room.
I ran as fast as I could; still getting use to my now four legs instead of two, almost tripping myself. I burst into the throne room seeing five other ponies there before me besides princess twilight and Celestia herself.
“Pardon the sudden intrusion your highnesses but I need to know one important thing!!!” I shouted almost out of breath. The princesses and the ponies looked confused as I shouted but Celestia noticed and looked at me.
“What is wrong child shouldn’t you be with your class going home?” she said perplexed as I was catching my breath.
“I don’t want to go your majesty. You see in my world I will be used and hurt and live a horrible life. I’m nineteen now and I’m afraid the orphanage is gonna sell me to others for abuse and acts to pay for my stay all of these years. May I please stay here in Equestria?” I said finally able to speak clearly.
“Of course my friend but the problem is you have nowhere to stay.” Celestia said having a sorrowful look towards me. Then before I could even talk the orange colored mare spoke up with three apples as a so called cutie mark.
“Well shoot Princess I reckon we could take the fella in he seems like a hard worker and seems like he can help with the farm a bit but we have a room he can stay in as long as he don’t mind working for a place to stay is all?” the orange mare said gleefully as my ears perked up.
“Well sure shoot ill even clean and coo just a home is all I need!!” I said happy as can be. Later after I said goodbye to all my friends I watched as they destroyed the mirror before my eyes watching my past shatter before me ready to start my new adventures in Equestria.
Me and the other mares talked and told each other our names while we rode the train to a place called Ponyville. I and Applejack, the mare who offered me a place to stay, finally made it to the farm where she lived with apple trees as far as the eyes could see. I was so excited I even started to cry but made sure she didn’t see me. We walked up to the door and the first thing I saw when it opened was a wall of red.
I looked up a little to see a stallion that was red and had this golden mane that seemed to just sit above his eyes. His eyes were an emerald green and looked as if he was bored yet somewhat angry at me as his hay stalk in his mouth twitched back and forth.
“AJ who the buck is this and he better just be a friend who wants to buy something edible and aint someone special to ya!!” the stallion glared at me putting his forehead to my forehead getting ready to flatten me.
“Mac he just needs a place to stay and he’s from the other world I don’t even like him that much but as only a friend!!” Applejack said jabbing a hoof into the stallion’s chest.
“Oh….” Big Mac said as he softened his expression but still had his forehead against mine. He just stared into my eyes as I stared he didn't say anything but I knew he was sorry. He suddenly jerked back a little as he heard his name called by his sister.
All I could think was who was that stallion and why did him make me feel, well, warm inside. After dinner they showed me to my room and eventually I fell asleep waiting for my new life to begin.

New Life with Apples and Love
%i%Chapter Two%I%
I woke up to the sound of knocking at my door. I looked and the sun was barely coming up over the horizon making me immediately react, jumping to my hooves and running out to the room again straight into a red wall of stallion.
“Oh um sorry again mac I didn’t mean to bump into you its just…” I said realizing a hoof on my mouth.
“Look ah owe you an apology for yesterday. Today we get to work in the apple fields alright, but first we need to have breakfast before granny has a cow” He said as his hoof finally came off my lips.
“Ok” was all I could say staring back into those green eyes of his again. As I walked down the stairs a mirror caught my eye. “Ugh my mane is a mess!!” my red mane and white coat were matted and tangled into a mess. “Darn it I hope AJ or bloom has a brush I can borrow…”
We finally sat at the table as granny served the food. “Um Applejack I have a question. Do you have a brush or comb I could borrow?” I smiled coyly hoping she had something to control my unruly mane.
“Certainly sugar cube ah have a brush we all use in the bathroom if you need it.” Applejack said in between bites of food.
I excused myself after finishing breakfast and used the brush to untangle my hopeless mane. Finally it was off to the fields were I was met by Applejack and Macintosh. Macintosh explain the apple bucking and Applejack explained where to place the baskets to make sure no apples will fall on the ground and get bruised. Finally after a few times I got the hang of the apple bucking and decided to go a little faster.
“Hey Mac I’m on my fifth tree in under 2 minutes!! At this rate we can finish the orchard in no time!!” I smiled as I bucked the tree again trying to go as fast as I could, watching as mac was staring back moving slowly using one hoof to buck the trees.
Finally after bucking most of the field we were in, it was time for lunch and granny had made a wonderful dandelion sandwich and apple cider vinaigrette on a tossed salad. We finally got back to the fields and finally it was time to come in for dinner.
I was working hard making sure I got all the trees I could trying to make sure the apple family knew I wasn’t a slacker at the job. I was still working on this one tree so I decided I would catch up with the two apple siblings when I finished. I shouldn’t have finished and went when I was told.
I came upon the conversation from the kitchen window next to the barn listening into a conversation I wish I never had heard.
“AJ he aint good on this farm!!” Big mac said glaring at his sister.
“But brother what I saw today was determination and a pony that is a good addition to the farm!” Applejack semi yelled as she glared back into macs eyes full of fire.
“AJ he’s a bucking hazard!!! Did you see how reckless he is?!! He will have blisters on his hooves if he continues like that!!!” Mac yelled back making me feel like I’m worthless through the window.
“Mac he will get blisters his first time, you did for goodness sake!! Shoot many times you got blisters but they became calluses!!” Applejack fired back as the argument continued.
“AJ not only will he get blisters but he will be useless for two weeks and by then the snow will come and then we will be behind!!!! Think AJ!! He’s going to ruin the farm!!!” Mac hollered back and I decided it was time I got inside before granny was mad at me too.
“AJ Ah’m sorry but he aint worth the fuss and hassle and he’s going to end up sinking us and putting us in debt!!” Mac growled as I closed the door behind me grabbing both of Mac’s and Applejack’s attention.
“Sugar cube you alright? Why the long face?” Applejack said acting oblivious.
“I don’t know applejack I am just a hazard after all… Granny no offense your food is great… but I’m not hungry anymore…” I said as I walked past them going to my room.
I locked the door and started to sob on the bed as I felt every word Mac said fill my head and sink my heart deeper into the darkness of my room. “He said I was a hazard… he said I would bring the farm into debt…” I quietly told myself his exact words as I could only think about them.
Finally I heard all the doors close upstairs signaling everyone was going to sleep. I slowly made my way down stairs to the field looking at all the apples shine from the full moon. I thought to myself for a while thinking what if I buck as many apple trees as possible would they think I was useless and a hazard then? I thought if I could save the farm and help them stay afloat till cider season when we could press the apples, maybe they would rethink about me being a hazard and useless.
“I’m going to buck until I pass out and there aint nothing to stop me.” I said determined as I got all the baskets out putting them just right around all the trees. “I have to act quickly if I want them to realize I’m worth something to this farm and hopefully still let me have a home here.”
I bucked and bucked until I got blisters on my hooves and even then I continued and didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop I wanted to prove my worth and I wanted them all to see who I was as not only a pony but perhaps a family member. I bucked eight hundred and ten trees filling the baskets to the brim. The last thing I saw was the sunrise… then everything went black.
New Life with Apples and Love
The Forgiveness and the Truth
“It’s cold…” I say as I feel cold darkness around me. “Where am i?”
“Beep… Beep… Beep…” that sound I heard sounds so familiar like I know it from somewhere. I open my eyes as I see a light hanging above me. My eyes focus as I see a heart monitor beside me showing a heartbeat but I don’t know whose heart beat it is yet.
“Scott?” my ears perk as I hear my name from across the room looking over to see Applejack and Applebloom.
“Applejack?” is all I could muster before seeing darkness again.
I wake up again to find something warm on my chest as I come to. I look to see a doctor applying a warm compress to my chest feeling soothing to my tense muscles. “There you go sir this will ease the tension in your chest and allow you to recover faster.” The nurse said as she applied the last bit of warm compresses to my legs and body.
“Applejack? What happened to me?” I said still weak and tired from before.
“You bucked three quarters of the orchard Scott and really saved our farm” Applejack said putting her hat on her chest feeling sorry for earlier. “Ah’m sorry you had to do that. Mac was just worried about the farm it didn’t mean you had to do our jobs for us.”
“I didn’t do it for you I did it for myself. I wanted to prove my worth.” I said barely able to stay awake when the door opened and the red stallion who I wanted to impress to begin with walked in.
“Whut were you thinkin’?!!!” Mac bellowed as he glared at me with eyes full of anger and accent thicker than ever.
“I was making sure I didn’t get in your way Mac. After all I’m a hazard and even you know I did three quarters of the orchard.
“THREE QUARTERS DON’T MEAN ANYTHING YOU BUCKING IDIOT!! LOOK AT YOURSELF YOUR NEAR ABOUT USELESS EVEN MORE THAN YOU WERE BEFORE!!” Mac ran out of the room as he finished the last sentence.
I cried for once I cried harder than I ever cried before. Mac still wasn’t happy and still hated me. Apple Jack walked towards me about to say something. “No Applejack just please leave me alone!!! Leave me be Applejack I don’t want to talk to any of you right now!!!” She left not saying a word after I told her to leave.
Two days passed in the hospital and all I could think about was how I failed, and how even when I try my hardest I still fail. I looked out of the window to my room and decided to start a journal.
Day three in the hospital.
Dear journal my time in Ponyville has taught me that even if you try you can still be hated. Mac, the pony I first met after being accepted into the apple family home, had captured my desire to do well in my newly gained life. His eyes were so fascinating how no matter how angry he was there was something in his eyes that caught my attention. Those green eyes showed love and happiness but also despair at the same time. Even I couldn’t stay mad at those eyes. I don’t know if I’m crazy or just pure insane but it’s like every time I’m around him I want to just stay next to him and be there with him. I like him a lot but then everything I do to impress him only makes him hate me more. He said to me two days ago I was useless even more now. It’s true I’m in the hospital recovering but I’m still the same pony with determination… I mean once I heal I’ll be fine right? The doc says tomorrow I will be free to leave so I just want to go to sweet apple acres pack my bags and leave. I hope I can find someone who could use a pony who will work for a place to stay.
Sincerely, Scott
Finally the day came when I was released. “Alright Mr. Scott you are free to go just sign here and here and we will let you go.” The nurse said as she handed me the pen and paperwork.
“Thanks for getting me all healed up Nurse Red heart. I just hope I don’t come back anytime soon.” I said as I walked out of the front doors.
I walked down towards the farm hanging my head low trying not to cry as I passed the already bucked apple trees. I finally got to the porch and opened the door slowly walking in. There was a note on the table saying Applejack, Granny, and Applebloom were in town selling apples and Mac was out in the fields on the south field behind the house. The only field I didn’t buck.
I walked up to my room and opened the door seeing something I never saw before. There on my bed was Macintosh crying while holding a small doll with polka-dotted pants and a yarn mane. I walked up and stood in front of the stallion as he cried. Something just clicked to me as I raised my hoof to his tears.
“I’m sorry Mac, I didn’t want you to worry about the farm and me bringing the farm into ruin.” I said as he looked up.
“No ah’m sorry for yelling at you earlier you had every right to be mad at me. I was afraid when ah found you in the field that I was responsible for everything I caused. Ah’ve been the one hurting your feelins’ and making you buck almost the entire orchard by yourself. Ah even thought on the way to the hospital it won’t my fault, all because it was your choice and now you still weren’t gonna be able to help, and the farm would still be in jeopardy. Ah was wrong Scott and all ah did was hurt you.” The stallion cried harder as I just watched.
A stallion who I thought was a brick wall was pouring his feelings out and telling me all that happened was his fault.
“Mac, please don’t cry anymore. I still am partially to blame. I have been keeping a secret from you and it’s what has been fueling me to do all this crazy stuff I just hope it doesn’t hurt you.” I paused after what I said so far so that I could get his attention. “I have feelings for you Mac and it all started the day we met.”
The stallion stayed quiet as I decided to get my things together and get ready to leave. I put everything in my bag but I through the one page journal into the trash can as I walked out of the room. I finally walked outside as I looked back at the house staring at the front door one last time.
“Goodbye Mac sorry I cause so much trouble.” I said as I walked down the path towards Ponyville.
New Life with Apples and Love
The Truth Will Set You Free
I walked down the path to Ponyville confused as am now and well its time my story ends and you can see where I am.
“Ugh these stupid blisters are a pain in my tail!” I said moving towards a bench along the path. “Maybe a little snooze wouldn’t hurt I guess…” Scott had just left. “I shouldn’t have been so mean to him but still…” Applejack walks in looking around the room.
“Brother I thought you were out in the field?” Applejack said looking at her brother alone in the room.
“Scott left AJ and ah didn’t stop him…” Mac said quietly holding smarty pants in his hooves.
“Mac, why did you let Scott leave?” Applejack said looking into the trash can, pulling out the journal Scott left.
“AJ, he aint normal… Scott… Scott just aint right AJ!!” Mac said tossing smarty pants onto the bed as Applejack read the one page journal.
“Scott has feelin’s for you don’t he? Scott’s a colt cuddler.” Applejack said reading the page even more.
“It aint right AJ pa said so.” Mac said looking down.
“Mac pa is too stuck to his ways that’s what caused him to die in the end and you know it!!” Applejack said glaring at her brother as she walked closer to him.
“Pa didn’t die because of him that damned colt cuddler let go of his hoof that day!!” Mac yelled finally looking up and glaring.
“Mac pa denied that hoof!!! He didn’t want a colt cuddler to touch him and because of that he drowned in that river that day!! I watched him if you can’t remember!!! Ma took me from his hooves and begged him to take his hoof but he didn’t!!” Applejack screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“AJ…” Mac tried to talk in his defense but couldn’t find anything.
“Mac, Scott the poor pony bucked over three quarters of the orchards!!! So what if he has feelings for you!! You should be happy somepony has feelings for you even if he’s the same gender as you!!!” Applejack said furiously wanting to slap her brother but knowing to do so would be pointless.
“AJ… you don’t know how I feel do you?” Mac said crying as he looked at his sister. “I had feelings for him too!!!” Mac broke down slumping to the floor feeling his guilt and pain pour out.
“Mac, why didn’t you tell Scott?” Applejack said picking her brother up from the floor.
“Pa always said that colt cuddlers were the reason why he could never look a stallion in the face if he didn’t know them. He said colt cuddlers would destroy Equestria from the inside out… AJ, ah kept it a secret from Pa because ah like stallions… ah stay on the farm cause if I don’t fall in love with a stallion then I won’t disgrace pa.” Mac said as tears still streamed down his face.
“Mac pa never liked a colt cuddler but didn’t he also say he wants his children to be happy and that’s what made him happy.” Applejack said as she looked her brother in the eye. “Does Scott make you happy? Do you have feelings for Scott?”
“I do have feelin’s for Scott… and when me and him worked in the fields I never felt so happy and when we ate lunch together I felt so happy I wanted to just stay there forever… AJ, What have I done?” Mac looked into Applejacks eyes and begged for an answer he knew only his sister could answer.
“You made a mistake Mac and if you don’t hurry and resolve it you will never fix it.” Applejack wiped his tears away. “Go. Find him and bring him… HOME.” Applejack slapped Macs cutie mark as he raced out of the house running as fast as he could.
Scott was sleeping when all of a sudden he hears a thud and feels something touch him. “Hmmm?” Scott’s eyes opened to see a red pony crying over him feeling his warm tears fall onto Scott’s muzzle.
“Scott… ah’m so sorry for what ah did, ah lied to myself continually and ah lied to you. ah said those things because of a pain ah held inside myself because ah didn’t want to tell you how ah really feel. Ah have feelin’s for you too Scott and ah want you to come home… please? Ah need you please come home…” Mac’s tears fell heavier as he tried to apologize to Scott.
“Really? You r-really need me?” Scott said as his own eyes filled with tears.
“Does Celestia raise the sun?” Mac asked knowing Scott was told the answer.
“Yes she does. Thank you Mac…” Before Scott could say anything else Mac took him in his hooves and kissed him sending euphoria throughout both of them.
“W-will you please be my colt friend?” Mac said as his red fur couldn’t hide the darker blush.
“As long as you never leave me alone Mac, then I will be yours for as long as I’m able.” Scott said as he felt Mac’s embrace tighten sending warmth throughout their bodies.
Later the pair walked up to the house with Applejack sitting on the porch waiting.
“So Mac, what’s the verdict?” Applejack said seeing Scott next to Mac leaning against him slightly from the blisters still on his hooves.
“Sis Scott’s my colt friend and he’s finally home where he belongs.” Mac said chest puffed out and hoof on it making Scott chuckle.
“Yeah and to think I would never find a home… when he was standing here the whole time.” Scotts muzzle pressed into the crook of Mac’s neck as he felt macs hoof around him.
“Well Scott as I see it since your dating mac you can either stay in your room or sleep with mac your choice.” Applejack said grinning dirtily. “So are ya’ll gonna sleep together?”
“Well that is if Mac doesn’t mind Applejack.” Scott said as he kissed Mac on the cheek.
“Always Scott and I’ll never let you go again.” Mac said putting a hoof around Scott leading him into the house.
Soon they had dinner and eventually retired to bed as Scott snuggled next to Mac feeling his warm embrace cuddle him to sleep.
