As the cool winter moon gleamed through the train window, a 15 year old boy, named caramel, with brown hair and blue eyes sat there waiting to get to Ponyville. Although he didn't admit it, this was his first time leaving Vanhoover. He missed the snow back home that would be up to his neck, unlike here where it's only 3". he looked away from the window and asked the conductor "how long till we get to Ponyville."

"I can't be sure do to the snow," he answered with a clueless face. "but we should be there by morning." he put a hand on my shoulder and said "Sorry for the inconvenience, sir."

"I don't mind" he said with a fake smile "who can blame you, visibility is about 0." the conductor walked away as he looked out the window his mind he went back to his thoughts

I wonder what my brothers doing, I wonder what Ponyville high will be like. maybe I'll make friends here

"At least I won't be lonely if I don't make any friends" he said as he looked down at a dog cage with his dog mallow in it. "isn't that right, who's my special girl." he said in a puppy dog voice. the dog in the case simply barked in agreement

Sometime later he soundly fell a sleep and was a sleep for the rest of the train ride.

he awoke when the train came to a stop and exited the train. he looked around and saw no one. he thought as much, it was still early in the morning that Luna's moon was still in the sky. He waited, and waited, and waited, but no one came. he then heard some odd voices that he recognized. "colt cuddlier, colt cuddlier.

"stop, I'm still the same old me." he said as he ran through the streets

they continued to say "colt cuddlier" as though it were a crime or a illness.

He awoke for real this time in a cold sweat as he looked around to see that celesta's sun has grace the sky with it's fiery glow. He stood up and stretched his arms and legs while releasing a yawn. He grabbed the dog crate and his bags and exited the train ready to start his next 2 month here as part of a student exchange program.

        He stood there waiting for someone from his exchange family to pick him up. He then noticed a tall, muscular boy, probably a year older then he was, with blonde hair and green eyes walking his way. He thought "who's that?" His question was about to be answered when he was approached by the boy

        "Are you by any chance caramel?" The boy asked with a smile and a cute farmer accent. Carmel stood there shocked he knew his name and nodded his head. "Well, looks like you'll be living with my family."

        The boy walked over and offered to help Caramel with his bags and went on there way "so" caramel said sheepishly "what's your name"

        The boy looked at him and answered back "names Big Macintosh, but you can call me Big Mac"

        Caramel looked at Big Mac with wonder that he was going to live with this stud for the next 2 months. The rest of the walk was quite silent. They talked about themselves, getting to know more about each other for 2 short minutes and the rest was dead silence. That is until caramel broke the silence.

        "So" the younger boy asked, " what kind of of family do you have."

        BIg Mac looked at him with a grin "ah knew you'd ask that" said the boy with his eyes closed. "We'll there's my Granny Smith, you'll think she's the kindest lady in town. then there's my youngest, apple bloom, she's as sweet as a peach. And then we have the twins, apple jack and pink lady, y'all won't see pink lady though she's in vanhoover with your family but y'all probably knew that. As for Apple jack she's a good girl as long as y'all don't lie to her."

applejack he thought that name sounds familiar. And what about his parents

     Caramel looked at him confused wondering about Big Macs parents " you have a big family" he asked "but what about your parents." Big Mac look down with a saddening face, caramel knew he had just crossed a line he should have never crossed. "Sorry, you don't have to answer that one if you don't want to"

    "Nope, I want to answer it" he said Now sobbing " they died in a fire with my baby brother ,apple buck, and my twin brother, big red, 4 years back. That left my Granny Smith to watch over us and we don't know how long she be around, so that left me to raise Apple bloom, Apple Jack, and Pink Lady all by Myself." Big red stood there and then fell to the ground and full of tears looked up missing his dead loved ones. Caramel felt responsible for this and try to cheer up Big Mac

       "Come big guy,"  said caramel with some guilt "it'll be okay. I bet there in a happy place. They may even be looking down on us tight now say ' we raised a pretty damn good son'. It gets better I promise"

        "You think so" said the sobbing red skinned boy

        "I know so" said caramel reassuring his new friend

"now, let's get going, I'm sure my family is dying to meet you" said the older of the 2
