Chapter 3: Sweet Apple Acres

As the next morning came, Shy yawned as he got out of bed, stretching his arms as he walked to get a shower and such. after about an hour, he looked at the clock and saw that the time was about 9 in the morning and he decided to look around town, so he grabbed a shirt and his jacket, stepping out the door and going down the path from his mansion. After a little while, he came across a rather quiet Sweet Apple Acres seeing a lone male, who had red fur and a yellow mane, who was pulling a cart of apples.

"Hey there, can I help you please? It looks like you are working alone and Applejack said I could stop by and help." Shy called out to the male, who simply nodded in response. Shy ran over and helped him pull the cart, which was a lot heavier then he expected. "So whats your name?" Shy asked, looking at the stallion as they went to get more apples to bring in.

"Big Macintosh" Big Mac said simply, pulling his shirt off since it was getting to be about mid day and the sun was beaming down on them.

"Big Mac? Nice to meet you, my name is Shymane" Shy said with a slight smile as they got down to the trees, starting to pick the apples of one tree while Mac went to another. The day went on pretty quickly and when they had 2 more carts full of apples stored in the barn, Big Mac sat down with Shy, handing him a glass of Sweet Apple Acres patented home made Hard Cider, taking a drink from his own glass.

After about 3 glasses each, Shy saw the 4 fillies run into the barn, as it had started to rain before they could get to the club house, and they were talking about some plans to get cutie marks for the CMC, with the black furred filly wanting to help.

"You know, that Heaty, as your little sister named her, is actually really cute" Shy whispered to Big Mac, who just kinda laughed.

"Hey, 'long as it ain't mah sister an' Ah don' gotta beat yer ass, have fun." Mac whispered back, becoming kinda talkative when he had Cider in him.

"Hey, she said she was about my age, right? How does that work? She looks so young." Shy asked, kinda confused now.

"Eh, she does this kinda hoodoo that lets her change 'er form when shes wantin' to." Big Mac explained, a bit confused by the magic the small pegasus used to do that.

Shy nodded, able to at least slightly understand it "So she has a normal Mare sized self?" he asked, to which Big Mac nodded "Okay, I might have to see her mare form at some point so I can decide what I wanna do." Shy said, and after about an hour of rain he stood, stretching his full body.

"Thanks for the Cider, I might have to come back and help again at some point" Shy said with a slight chuckle, walking towards the door.

"Eeyup, take care of yer self." Big Mac said, going into his house to get dinner as he and AppleBloom had been called.

Shy nodded to what Big Mac had said and walked off, heading home since it was getting pretty late. When he walked in he made a sandwich, ate it with a glass of milk, and went upstairs to sleep. He decided that he would try to see Heaty in her grown form, and then would see about asking her out or something. He laid down in his bed and dozed off fairly easily from how hard he had worked, boy he was going to be sore in the morning.

Author's Note

Hey, hope you don't hate me for taking so long :P I got no feed back so I had to decide on if I was wanting to continue and I decided I would, and if I got feed back, I would continue faster.
