Gods of death, darkness and picking up chicks

Through one hay of a day

Jaden woke up in his little bed, clear of what he needed to go through.

"Vinyl's probably angry for that I missed a lot of work" He thought, as he picked up his saddlebag" And I need to get some more grub, it's not healthy to eat stuff I bought a year ago"

Jaden went straight out of the house and headed towards the market.

As he walked, he noticed that everypony was staring at him with a sign of fear and respect.

That was how he liked it, noone had to like him but he wanted respect from the crowd.

Meanwhile he was shopping some vegetables, he saw how a couple of fillies was hiding behind their mother, he ignored them as he kept on buying his stuff. He knew what they all thought about him:

"Who is this stallion?"

Jaden had been in this position for a long time, it was typical for an outcast, nobody could figure him out and that's how he wanted it.

Suddenly, Jaden saw the stall with Applejack and Applebloom who was trying to sell their apples.

He sure liked the taste of those apples but for now he didn't want anything with Applejack.

She had accused him for a backstabber and then belived that he was just going to forgive her.

"If they want to be friends again the they damn sure has to go up with something good." Jaden thought to himself as he turned around and walked away, until he got a wierd feeling that he was followed.

He turned 90 degrees and pretended to inspect a stall, but in the corner of his eyes he could see the follower.

It was Applejack and she was approaching slowly.

"Damn, why does she even bother?" Jaden sighed as he kept on walking, but then Applejack were picking up speed to catch up with him.

Jaden speeded up, only to find out that Applejack had breaked out in gallop.

Jaden knew he wouldn't stand a chance against her speed, so he stretched out his wings and rose himself into the air.

Applejack was slowing down, she knew she couldn't catch him.

But instead, she broke into gallop once more and screamed up to him:

"Please stop, ah' need to speak with ya'"

"Well I don't want to listen" he screamed back" I'm just a backstabber, remember, why should we even waste time on each other"

Applejack was shocked at his response, but she wasn't going to give up.

"Please, ah' know how much of a jerk ah've been and that ya' might never forgive me but..." Applejack screamed, but then she fell of a cliff.

Applejack screamed in fear as she fell, meanwhile Jaden let out a small sigh and turned around to dive down and catch her.

Applejack felt like her body was failing her, as she just let her body fall.

She closed her eyes and were ready to meet her creator.

Jaden picked up speed as he dived, he was getting tired of that he always had to save one of those mares.

Applejack felt the wind in her mane, but it wasn't in the speed of falling.

It was in the speed of when she ran, as fast as she could, through the forest.

She opened her eyes and found herself in a tight grip of Jaden, as he rised up from the ground.

She was in the grip of her dream stallion, as she closed her eyelids once again, nuzzeled up slowly to his chest and enjoyed the free ride.

She then felt how he carefully put her down and looked at her with a look that noone could read.

"I know that you're faking, just rise up" Jaden said as he held out a hoof to help her up.

"Uhm...thanks" Applejack said as she took his hoof and stood up"For all times ya' saved me"

"Yeah, whatever" Jaden said" It was nothing"

"No it was way more than that, if ya' hadn't been around now or last time then ah' wouldn't be standing here right now" Applejack said, almost desperate to get it of her chest." And ah' seriously can't understand why ya' even helped me, after all that ah've done. Ya' shouldn't help me and yet ya did, ah understand if ya' might never forgive me but ah just want ya' to know that..."

Jaden put a hoof to her mouth and looked at her with his eyebrows raised up.

"Woa, it takes guts to give out an awkward apology like that" Jaden said as he looked at her with a expression of'What is she doing'

Applejack was going to assult him for the rude interference, but just simply nodded her head.

"I guess that you really mean it" Jaden said as a smile grew to his face.

"Every word of it sugarcube" Applejack said to make it clear" So we're...cool?"

Jaden put a hoof on her shoulder and said" We might not be really good friends, because I still don't trust you, but yeah we're cool"

Applejack felt a sigh of relife exit her mouth, as she then hugged him.

Jaden was at first going to push her away, but then he realized that she was shivering for some reason and he returned the hug.

After a short time, Jaden broke the hug and Applejack looked down and blushed.

"Well, I've got to run but I'll see you later I guess" Jaden said"If you ever need help with something then you can just ask me"

"Ah' will sugarcube" Applejack said but added a phrase in quiet" But not just for those kind of services"

"Did you say something?" Jaden asked.

"Oh...uh... no nothing" Applejack stuttered as she realized that he had a good couple of ears" Ah've got to go back and help Applebloom but I'll see ya' around"

Jaden headed down towards town as Applejack went back to her stall.

Jaden thought of the phrase that Applejack had used, as he walked down the streets.

"Sugarcube', that's a wierd expression" he thought as he remembered what happened back at the cliff.

He had caught her just before the big impact and the she had nuzzeled his chest.

He knew that she thought that he looked good, but that was quite awkward.

He didn't know if it was just an expression of thanks or a sign of... more?

He instantly removed the thought as he saw a butteryellow pegasus walk just at his side.

"Uhm... h-h-hi" the pegasus said and Jaden remembered that it was Fluttershy.

"What is it?" He asked directily.

This caused her to stutter even more.

"I-I-I j-j-just wanted t-t-to s-say..."Fluttershy tried to talk but she just couldn't find the words.

"Oh, sweet molestias mane just speak up" Jaden said, he was quite tired at her stuttering.

"I'm s-sorry" Fluttershy said very quiet.

"What did you say?" Jaden teased her"I couldn't hear anything because of that you talk so low"

"I'M BUCKING SORRY" she suddenly screamed, and then calmed down once again.

"Woah, Fluttershy" Jaden chuckled.

"I'm terribly sorry for this" she said" Just as sorry for everything else."

"It's alright, now that I saw how mad you can be, I don't think I don't want to be your enemy" Jaden chuckled." See us as not to close friends"

"Th-that will do fine for now" Fluttershy said quietly" Y-you want to go someplace?"

"Maybe later, but for now, I have to talk with Vinyl. I bet she's quite mad at me for missing from work at a whole year." Jaden chuckled and turned around" I see you around Fluttershy"

"Uhm... yes, goodbye" she said and walked away from the crowd.

"Great, it's closed for today" Jaden said to himself.

He was standing outside the backdoor, but it was locked.

Jaden thought of 3 different reasons:

1. He was fired

2. It was a holiday

3. The company had moved away without him.

"Better hope that I'm not fired" Jaden thought as he turned around.

Then he stood and gazed upon the sky, something was different, there were only one big cloud instead of lots of small clouds.

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash flew up to the cloud and gazed down on Jaden with a little insecure look in her eyes.

Jaden looked upon her as she parted the clouds into letters, the letters was suddenly turned into words.

He then realized that it was a message to him:

Jaden:

I know that this is a great risk that I'm taking with this.

But I need to make this clear.

I've been a great idiot against you, I understand if you will still hate me after this because I would hate myself.

I was the one who found out about you being the darkness, I went into your house and found your list.

I thought then that you were planning to destroy Equestria.

After that you told the whole town of, I then understood that you didn't want anything with destruction.

You only wanted to be a part of this town, and because of me you were thrown out.

I understand if you might never want to see me again.

But still, I'm terribly sorry for what I did.

I really hope that you can forgive me after what I've done

Your former(and hopefully still) friend:

Rainbow Dash

After that she had finished her work, Rainbow Dash looked down, with a hoof behind her neck,at where Jaden was standing.

Jaden just stood expressionless and read those words, as he then lowered his head and simply shook it.

Old school wasn't his style, but he had to admit that it was a brave move.

Jaden wanted to hear words, not see them because those words couldn't been taken for real from him.

He turned his face as he galloped away.

Rainbow, looked after him in shock.

She realized that he was really mad at her and wouldn't accept her apology.

She had humiliated herself with her work and lost a really close friend.

Rainbow let her head hang in embarrassment, as she cleaned up the sky after her hard work.

She let a single tear drop down on a cloud, she had really done it now.

Jaden looked at the big town halls job building board, he had to find a extra job just in case that he was fired.

There was a lot of work that he could do but a certain one caught his mind:

Work around Ponyville needed, you get certain jobs from the bigger companies and we pay you 10 bits per job

In this way, he could keep an eye on the whole town meanwhile he got himself a nice set of bits.

He took of into the air and looked for the mayor.

He found her standing outside Sugarcube corners, talking to Mrs. Cake.

He slowly dived down towards them.

"Hey, mayor I'm here for this job" Jaden said as he landed right beside them.

"Oh, hi Jaden"the mayor said quite nervous"We have looked for somepony who wanted that place, so you can have it."

"Great, see you around" Jaden said as he turned around to walk away.

"And I want to thank you for saving Ponyville, even though that we threw you out"  the mayor said" We're all terribly sorry for it"

"I want to hear it from them" Jaden said as he walked.

Twilight was sitting in the library and reading a book about co-operation with different elements.

"Twilight, I got you a message" Spike said as he entered with a letter in his fang.

"Oh thanks Spike, l've been waiting for it" Twilight said as she used her magic to levitate the letter."I would like to read this in private, if it's alright"

"It's about Jaden is it" Spike said, he could read her like an open book.

"Uhm...yes"she said with a blush on her face.

" Well, you wouldn't have to go through this if you just gave him a chance before you found out about him"  Spike said.

"Yeah thanks Mr. Obvious" she replied and walked up to her room.

Twilight sat down on her bed, opened her letter and started to read the letter from her brother:

Dear sister

I never thought that this day would come, my sis' in love?

I wasn't expecting it at all but I must say that its a relife to hear it.

However, I must say that I'm very disappointed at you for throwing him out of town because of what he had for a passion.

After everything that had done, he saved your life and you just forget it and throw him out as fast as you find out about him.

I can understand that he's angry on each and everyone of you.

He has all the right to be mad, I would have expected better of you sister.

How he's going to forgive you, I'm not sure but you have to apologize to him.

Thats the best you can do for now.

Hope I'll see you and him in Canterlot someday.

Your B.B.B.F.F.

Shining armor

Twilight knew what she had to do, she had to make a great apology to him.

But not just an apology, the best way she could apologize to him for that she had been a big jerk.

She decided to make that apology on Pinkies "W.S.F.B.S.J." party.

Twilight went through with the things she needed to say and then went to help Pinkie with the party.

Jaden was walking towards the town hall, he had forgot a thing there when he looked after extra jobs.

He noticed that the crowd of ponies that usually filled the street was gone, he was all alone in the streets.

"Maybe they're having a party or something again" he said to himself as he walked up the stairs and entered the town hall.

Right there, he was met by everypony in town who was looking at him in a goofy grin.

All around, there was decorations and there was a great banner that said:

We're so sorry for being such jerks, Jaden

Jaden looked at each and everyone in a'Really?' look as he was searching for the only pony who could have done this.

He found her standing at a stage, with Vinyl scratch, with a sheepish grin on her face.

He rose up into the air and flew over to her.

Pinkie looked at him with the eyes of'Well?' and Jaden returned it with:

"Well, what are we waiting for?"

Pinkie started to smile as Jaden screamed out:

"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED"

The crowd cheered as Vinyl put up one of her amazing beats and everyone started to dance.

Jaden was sitting in the corner and drinked some punch, he was ok with everything that Pinkie had put up.

Suddenly a white unicorn was heading towards him with a package in her mouth.

She dropped it down and said:

"It's a gift from the shop, for that I've been a really great idiot, I hope you like it"

Jaden opened it up and found a great black suit with a belts of gems.

"Wow, this is good, thanks" he said as he tried it out" Say I never acctualy got your name"

"It's Rarity" she said" And I'm terribly sorry for how I treated you before"

"There's a phrase I've heard a lot from today" Jaden chuckled" It's alright, I forgive you"

Jaden packed down the suite in the box and put it in his saddlebag.

" If I might say something, you better go and talk with Rainbow Dash because she seems pretty low" Rarity said as he turned around.

Rainbow was sitting in a corner with her head lowered in shame and sadness.

Jaden walked up and looked at her, she was almost in tears as she embraced him.

"I-I'm so sorry for what I've done" she said between her tears"I-I know that you may never forgive me b-but I'm so sorry for everything I put you through."

"That's the apology I wanted to hear, not written words." Jaden said as he broke the hug" I forgive you"

Rainbow was still crying and before Jaden could react, she had embraced him once more.

He let her hug him, that was the only way for her to stop crying.

After a while, she broke the hug and went back into the crowd.

Jaden turned around and went for some snacks, only to find himself standing face to face with Twilight.

"Here we go again" He thought as he looked on her.

"I need to talk with you" she said.

"Sure, go ahead" he said as he prepared for another apology.

"I haven't been nice to you lately, I saw you as nothing but a big jerk when I found out about you" she said" But after everything that you did for our town I realized that I was the completely jerk.

You saved my life twice and I didn't reply a single thanks, I really has been the devil on your tail lately and gor that I want to say: 'Thank you and I'm sorry'.

Jaden looked at her, then he started to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Twilight asked.

"The thing with today, that's so funny" Jaden chuckled" You and your friends has one on one, made a really big apology to show how big jerks you have been"

"They have?" She asked.

"Yeah and as for you" Jaden said" I forgive you but I still don't fully trust you"

Jaden turned around and walked back to the dancefloor, meanwhile Twilight let out a sigh in relife.

"This has been one hay of a day" Jaden thought as he enjoyed the party.
