Applejack in Dillion, Texas

"Is he okay?"

"I don't know?"

"Has dad ever passed out before?"

"Not that I could remember." Eric hears the muffled voices of Tami, Julie and some other individual. He slowly opens his eyes and sees Tami and Julie first. He realises he is on the couch.

"What happened?" Eric asks groggily.

"You passed out," Julie says.

"Do I have low blood pressure and I don't know it?"

"I think it was the sight of me hon?" A voice says. Eric turns his head slightly and sees Applejack.

"Oh no," Eric feels like he is about to pass out again.

"No, please don't," Tami says placing her hand behind Eric's head to prevent him from passing out again.

"Sorry to have startled ya' sir," Applejack says apologetically. "Wish I'dve known you would react like that."

"It's not uhh...it's not your fault." Eric has no idea how to handle this kind of situation in front of him. He has handled lawsuits, trying to get the acceptance of Dillon, had a racially divided football team for a short period of time, had an instance where a player (Smash) was taking performance enhancing drugs, and even working very hard to win the state championship. But he does not know how to handle the fact that on orange, talking pony is in his house.

"Julie can I talk to you for a minute," Tami says pointing to the hallway with her thumb.

"Sure," Julie says. The two walk in the hallway and started to talk quietly. "I know what you're going to say, but let me say my side of the the story. I found her at "The Alamo Freeze" parking lot. She seemed lost. I don't want her to be sent off to some sort of government facility and have some sort painful experiment done on her. I mean look at her." Tami peeks at Applejack from behind Julie's shoulder. "Would you want to see, or even imagine her being tested on?"

"Guess not. The thought of that makes me sick really," Tami admits.

"She acts surprisingly human. She can talk and understand us. She gossips like everyone else."

"You two gossiped?"

"It was about Buddy and Lyla's mom."

"Oh."

"I have only known her for a while, but I know she needs us."

"I guess you're right...Alright she can stay for a while. What's her name again?"

"Applejack."

"Makes sense, considering the apple tattoo on her ass."

Meanwhile in the living room

Eric and Applejack are sitting on the same couch sort of looking at the ground. They would occasionally share an awkward glance or an awkward smile at each other. "So…" Applejack says, "you're daughter tells me you are a sports coach."

"Y...ye..yes." Eric says stuttering. He rarely stutters, but in this instance anyone would. There is an awkward pause. "So...where are ya' from?"

"Well, where I'm from, it is a lot different than here."

"That's for sure."

"If I told 'ya, you probably wouldn't believe me. I am not entirely sure what your species deems as what is reality or fictional."

"I am talking to an orange horse, I think I can almost believe anything now. If you told me Santa was real, I probably would believe it."

"Who?"

"Nevermind." By this point, Tami and Julie walk in. "So what is the verdict girls?"

"Well, before we can make an official verdict, we want to hear your side," Julie says.

"Well, Applejack was it?" Eric turns his head to Applejack who nods. "Applejack needs a home for the time being, I don't want to see her get shipped off to some sort of government lab and have experiments done on her. I think she can stay here."

"Mom and I came up with the same conclusion." When Applejack hears this, her face lights up with happiness. She hugs Julie and Tami first.

"Thank you very much you two. I greatly appreciate it," Applejack says joyfully. Then she goes to Eric and does the same.

"I bet you're hungry," Tami says. "I'm just about to make some dinner, any special requests?"

"Just a salad would be fine Mrs. Taylor."

"Please, call me Tami hon."

"You can call me by either Eric or Coach Taylor. Either or is fine with me."

After dinner

"That was some mighty fine salad Tami," Applejack says patting her stomach.

"Thank you very much Applejack," Tami says putting some dishes in the dishwasher. "What's everyone's plans for tonight?"

"I have some plays that need to be improved for next Friday," Coach Taylor says. "Reggins was moving a bit slow and I need to see how to fix that."

"I've got some homework that needs to get done," Julie says.

"Welp, I'm open for the night," Applejack mentions.

"So am I," Tami says. "What do you have in mind?"

"I would suggest a girls night out, but I don't think I'm ready for the public yet."

"Yeah...There is a movie on TV I that I think you will enjoy."

"Well, me never seeing a movie, count me in."
