A New Pony in Town

Kayti, Ink, and Fluttershy were walking to Sweet Apple Acres and chatting as they walked when Kayti’s stomach rumbled. She blushed a shade of red that you don’t usually see on any pony. Fluttershy giggled a bit but gasped and covered her mouth with her hoof.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh but…you’re hungry aren’t you?” Fluttershy asked. Kayti kept blushing and nodded bashfully. “It’s a good thing we’re almost there then because it sounds like you’re in need of a good apple pie. Am I right?” Fluttershy asked. Kayti nodded.

“I haven’t eaten anything sinse yesterday and I have a monster appetite. I could go for a brownie or cupcake as well. An apple pie sounds good too though. I hope Applejack was correct about her apple pies being that good because I need one,” Kayti said. Fluttershy and Kayti started laughing as her stomach rumbled again.

“Oh look at that, we’re here already,” Fluttershy said. They were having such a good time that they didn’t realize that they were already going up the dirt road to the farm. They started seeing Applejack and Big Mac. They also saw that beavers were trying to cut down their trees for wood. Applejack spotted Fluttershy and Kayti and galloped at quite a quick speed to them.

“I’m so glad yur’ here, those beavers are trying to cut down our trees for their dam. I need ya’ to talk ta’ them Fluttershy!” Applejack was freaking out a bit. Fluttershy nodded and went up to one of the beavers who had his big teeth around a tree. Fluttershy whispered something to him and he stopped. He rolled his beaver eyes and walked away and told the other beavers to fan out…in beaver language anyway.

“How did you do that?” Kayti asked. She was very impressed by that display.

“Oh I just told him he wouldn’t be getting a birthday present from me if he kept up this naughty behavior. I give him wonderful gifts. He didn’t want that so he figured it wasn’t worth it,” Fluttershy said modestly. Kayti was looking at her in awe.

“Wow, I thought I was good with animals but that was before I met you! You’re terrific!” Kayti said. This made Fluttershy shrug and blush.

“It was nothing,” Fluttershy said. Kayti rolled her eyes.

“You are simply too modest! You’re so talented. Can you teach me to be good with animals like that?” Kayti asked. Fluttershy laughed.

“I think you’re already on your way there,” Fluttershy said pointing her hoof to Ink. She was trying to lick Kayti’s face. Kayti giggled.

“I guess you’re right. At least I know I’m good with dogs.” Kayti laughed as she spoke. Fluttershy and Applejack laughed with her.

“If ya’ like dogs then ya’ should meet Wynonna, she’s my dog and she’s a hoot and a half,” Applejack whistled and a brown dog who Kayti figured was Wynonna, came running up to all of them. Kayti awed at it and went girly again.

“She’s so cute! Maybe she and Ink can have a playdate. Would you like that girl?” Kayti asked Ink. Ink wagged her tail and jumped off Kayti’s back. She started playing with Wynonna. All three mares giggled at the cute dog’s playing with one another. Kayti snorted and so did Applejack. Kayti put her hoof up to her muzzle and they started laughing again.

“I hate it when I….snort,” Kayti said this in between laughter. Applejack snorted as well.

“I think…it’s just who we are and we…should accept it,” Applejack said in between laughter as well. Kayti nodded but started cracking up again. Kayti’s ears perked up and the sound of a hearty,

“Eyop,” Big Mac said. He was agreeing with Applejack and was behind them all. Kayti smiled.

“Hello, my names Kayti. What’s your name?” Kayti asked him. He was about to answer but Applejack answered for him.

“His names Big Macintosh but every pony just calls him Big Mac. He’s my brother!” Applejack said. Kayti held out a hoof for him to shake. Big Mac took it and smiled.

“It’s nice to meet you Big Mac,” Kayti said. Big Mac shook his head and said,

“Eyop.” Kayti looked at him curious.

“Do you say anything besides that?” Kayti asked. Big Mac laughed. Applejack was about to say something but Big Mac took an apple that he had and put it in her mouth.

“I would say more but ponies sometimes tend to interrupt me,” Big Mac said in a deep country voice. Kayti nodded and smiled.

“I get that now,” Kayti said. Big Mac smiled and started walking away as he waved his hoof good bye. “He seemed nice enough,” Kayti said. Applejack nodded though she was still chewing that delicious apple. Watching her eat the apple reminded her that Kayti was still very hungry. Her stomach rumbled loudly and Applejack swallowed.

“Why don’t ya’ grab an apple and I’ll go fix you something. One sec sugar cube,” Applejack said as she ran towards her house to go get some food. Kayti smiled and ran up to a tree. She kicked it a bit and an apple fell out. She bit it and started eating it. Then some more apples feel down and hit her on the head. Kayti shook her head and looked at the tree.

“Really?” Kayti asked it. She sighed and kept eating her apple. She walked over to Fluttershy who frowned.

“Are you alright?” Fluttershy asked. Kayti sighed.

“I’m fine, though I might get a bruise on my head,” Kayti said jokingly. They laughed and then Applejack came out of the house with a glass of something.

“Have some of this,” Applejack said. Kayti took it and sipped it questionably. She made a stink face and slowly swallowed it.

“Is this…apple cider?” Kayti asked. Applejack nodded.

“Best apple cider you’ll ever find. Do you like it?” Applejack said. Kayti smiled and shrugged.

“It was…okay…actually I didn’t like it. It’s not that it’s your cider but I just don’t like apple cider. I’m sorry,” Kayti apologized. Applejack was stunned for a moment. She had never met a pony that didn’t like her cider. She was happy that she told the truth though. She respected her for that.

“It’s okay sugar cube, thank ya kindly for being honest. I could tell you didn’t want to hurt my feelings but you knew that tellin’ me the truth was more important. I respect that,” Applejack said.

“I don’t like to lie; in fact I am a terrible liar so you would’ve probably figured it out sooner or later. I also would feel very guilty. I have a loud conscience,” Kayti said. Applejack laughed.

“I’m the element of honesty, so I know how having a loud conscience can be,” Applejack said. Kayti gasped.

“Wait…are you…I can’t believe I didn’t see this before. You guys are the element of harmony…or at least the spirits of them! I heard about you back from foalhio. You were in all the newspapers. You guys are famous!” Kayti said. Applejack and Fluttershy blushed and nodded.

“Aw, shucks, we’re just ponies. We’re nothing special,” Applejack said modestly. Kayti scoffed.

“What do you mean? You…oh now I remember who Discord is. I can’t believe I forgot. We learned about him when I was a filly. I was in like fourth grade but we still learned about him. We saw his statue. I thought he looked awesome but every pony else was scared of him. I wanted to meet him…like when he was out of stone. It’s like my dream. I didn’t even care that he was evil and now he’s reformed! I can’t believe it! Can I meet him please?” Kayti asked. The two mares stared at her. “What? He’s cool and I heard he make cotton candy clouds with chocolate milk! That is so awesome!” Kayti said. Fluttershy nodded but still was surprised that she said she didn’t care that he was evil.Applejack was making a face that was complete and utter shock. Kayti blushed.

Suddenly there was a puff of smoke and a figure appeared in front of the mares and pups. Applejack and Fluttershy recognized him as Discord but Kayti didn’t just recognize him…she went crazy when she saw him!
