Authors Note

Short Chapter, I know. I was originally going to skip this scene, but I could not. I thought it would be good to include for a chapter.

I walked with Applejack and Big Macintosh on the way to their home in “Sweet Apple Acres”. After we introduced ourselves I began talking about my “Back story” and how I got to Pony Ville. Then Applejack told me about how she and her family made their living at the farm. We eventually got there, and she began to prepare food. While she told me to wait, I was left to be introduced to the rest of the apple family…wow.

“Ah VK, I’ll be preparin’ today’s lunch, while you’re waitin’ I would like you to meet the rest of the apple family ; Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apple, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith.”

“Umm, hello, I am Verandernden Korper, but you can call me VK.”

After meeting the relatives, I saw each one of them head out into the field, probably going back to work on the farm. Eventually the food arrived.

“Soups on VK!”

She came by with a big plate of food, and placed it onto the table. The plate had consisted of apple pie, apple tarts, caramel apples, and apple strudels…well what do you know?

“Finally!” I had thought to myself.

I gave my thanks to Applejack. When I had my fill, I went to thank her and the family again before I could head off. It took a while, but then I found Applejack and her brother working in the trees of the farms.

“Hey Applejack”

“Howdy VK”

“I just wanted say, thanks for everything.”

She bucked a tree

“What was that? Ah am sorry, ahm a little busy raht now”

“What are you two doing?”

“We are apple bucking, we have to get thes’ apples out of the tree while their fresh.”

“Can I help?”

To be honest I really didn’t have anything else to do, I mean why not help? I was just going to walk around back to Pony Ville and do nothing really. This may be a chance for me to have some sort of an activity to do, also I wanted to make sure if my powers are still fully functioning.

“Why sure thing, you can help by knocking out them trees over there.”

I proceeded towards the mentioned area of the acres I was told to go to. There were about, an estimated one-hundred and twenty trees. It was now time for me to get to work. As a pony, I could have just kicked the bucked the trees with my back legs. However as I said before, I was not an ordinary human. I was not an ordinary pony either.

I stood up on my back legs as if I were still human, because that was what I was used to. I began to turn my front arms in hammer form.

“Come on, you still have to work, don’t quit on me now.”

I had myself the tools necessary for work in a matter of seconds. I began to strike the trees in front of me, with the apples falling into the buckets. In about twenty seconds I had already had three perennial wood plants clear of their fruit. I began hitting each one at a time, with each one losing theirs in few hits. Now it was eight minutes, I had nearly two-fourths of the job done. As I continued the work it was becoming easier.

I continued to work for twenty more minutes, in that time I was starting to consider this job finished. Like going over an essay for a school assignment, I went throughout the mini forest in an order to see if there were any trees left untouched.

“Well, that is all of them; I should tell Applejack and Big Macintosh that all of the apples have been gathered.”

With that I went back to walk on all fours, and then I left to tell them the news.

I arrived to the plantation where the siblings were working. They were not in the same area where I found them, but it wasn’t that hard to do so. Eventually I found them, they were resting in front of two trees, and it seemed they did their job as well.

“Howdy VK, you’re back!”

Apparently they were not asleep.

“Hello, I just finished with the apples in the other area, how did you do?”

“Wow you sure are fast, I don’t think ah ever cleared that many trees in that amount of time, we did alright, we just finished working in this plantation so we both takin’ a break.”

They both got up.

“Well, back to work”

“Eyup”

“Hold on, there is more to be finished?”

“Eyup.”

“Big Mac’s rite, there’s another few hundred more trees over there that need buckin’. C’mon, let’s get goin’.”

AppleJack and Big Macintosh were walking toward the crops; but it seemed to me that they were a little tired from their previous work. The way they were walking had me concerned.

“I got it.”
