My Little Pony: Equestria's Mightiest Heroes
Capplejack: Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCap and the Apple family, minus Apple Bloom who was at school, had been working all day picking apples and hauling them back to the barn. Cap hadn’t minded the work, it gave him time to both think and get to know more about the Apple family, this place, which Cap now knew was called Equestria, and the ways things functioned here.
Cap started the day with Applejack. They went around knocking the ripe apples off the trees. Cap and Applejack had talked about a great many things.
Cap thought he was a decent judge of character, and saw that he could probably trust Applejack, so he told her the truth, that they were from a different dimension. He had no idea how, he normally left that to Bruce, Tony, Hank, and Thor.
Applejack shrugged, seemingly not knowing herself. “That’s Twilight’s thing. She’s the smart one. She’ll probably figure somethin’ out.”
“Let’s hope so, trouble seems to follow us, I would hate to bring it here…” Cap responded, not knowing if Kang had entered the portal as well.
“We get into our own share of trouble.” Applejack laughed. “Actually, that’s why we’re the Elements of Harmony.”
“Elements of Harmony?” Cap asked, immediately thinking of the Infinity Gauntlet.
“Well, I’m the element of honesty, Fluttershy’s kindness, Dashy’s loyalty, Pinkie’s laughter, Rarity’s generosity, and Twilight’s magic. We try ta help keep Equestria safe from stuff that would harm it. We actually got the Elements when trying ta save the Princess.” Applejack stopped upon seeing a giant smirk on Cap’s face. “What? Ya’ll don’t believe me?”
“It’s not that, based on stuff I’ve seen already, I would be a fool not to believe you. It’s about the part where you mentioned that Twilight is the element of magic. I find it pretty funny that she’s working with Tony today because he refuses to believe in magic. So that should be interesting.” Cap said, still with a smirk on his face. “I believe your story, I just find that coincidence great.”
“Wait, there’s ponies who don’t believe in magic? There are unicorns everywhere…” Applejack responded.
“Not in my dimension. There are actually very few that can use magic.” Cap answered.
“Well, then that should be a great story someday.” Applejack responded, now smirking as well.
…
After lunch, Cap was working with Big Mac to haul all the apples to the barn, while Applejack and Granny Smith went to town to pick up some things for the farm.
Cap found that Big Mac didn’t say much. Mostly it was just “Eeyup” or “Nope”. Sometimes he would say a sentence or two, but then it was back to work. Cap also noticed that, even though Big Mac was just a normal, not genetically altered pony, he was just about as physically fit as Cap was. Cap admired this pony. He knew when to work, and when to talk. He was obviously a very hard working pony. He also, though quiet, wasn’t rude. Cap wished there were more like the Apple family. They reminded him of his time before the ice, back when the world was simple and everybody acted like a friend to everybody.
Cap and Big Mac got all the apples to the barn before it rained. The then sorted them into piles, upon Granny Smith’s dictation. She decided which apple went in which pile. Applejack was back at this time as well and was assisting. She explained that Cider Season was happening soon, and they wanted to be ready. One pile was for the cider, one was for the party tonight.
“I am assuming the ponies here like apples?” Cap said as he eyed the pile, that he was sure not even Thor and Hulk could eat after one of their giant brawls.
“We have the best apples in all of Equestria! Ever since the Apples started this orchard…” Granny Smith started, what promised to be a long story.
“Short answer, yeah, they do.” Applejack whispered, as she took over dictating the apples into piles.
…
At the end of the story which was about six in the afternoon, Cap, Big Mac, and Applejack loaded up the party apples into carts and took them to City Hall for the party that night.
