Chapter 2

Six long months has passed and Celestia's troops still haven't found the place where you came from. You helped out Applejack and Big Mac with the whole farming business. You have to admit, helping out with the farm... it's actually not that bad. Considering being a metal head and all. You're starting to get stronger after your new diet. And Big Mac and Applejack loves it when your hands come along to help out with the remaining Apples that fall out of the bucket when Applejack bucks an apple tree.

After work would get done. The family would ask you to play your guitar. They sure love your skills and how amazing you play. One time you just let you fingers go along the frets, not even using the pick. They were amazed by that. The Apple family, even Applejack is impressed with you helping her, playing guitar while she's sitting next to you on the couch.

"Wow partner!" Applejack said as you played a heavy and slow solo. You feel sweat dripping from your face and you try to headbang it away as you keep playing that guitar of yours. Applejack and the others can't get enough of your skills. You remember that you met her friends, even the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle. They also saw how good you play on the guitar. A rainbow haired pegasus starts to talk to you about your skills.

"Wow! Dude, you're awesome!" She said as she lands right next to you.

"Heh, you think you can do better then that?" You smirked.

"Oh it's on." She smirked back at you. "Nah, just kidding." She said as you two now shared a heart felt laugh. As you were putting your guitar back in your case.

"So. You like hanging with Applejack?" She said getting you attention.

"Huh? What?" She starts to giggle. "Wait. What are you saying?" She gives you that devious grin on her face.

"What I'm saying is... do you like her?"

"Uh..."

"YOU DO!! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON APPLEJACK DON'T YOU!?!?!" She teases.

"No. No I don't. What are you talking about." Your face starts to turn red.

"I'm just messing with ya. Hey, we should hang out some more." She said as her wings start to keep her a-float

"Alright." You said as if you weren't sure. Then she flies of laughing. Could it be true about you and Applejack. She gave you a place to stay, food to eat, she's really nice, strong, likes your guitar skills a lot, and she's really honest. Oh lord, can it be true? You hate to admit it. It all hits inside you all at once. Yes, you're starting to fall in love with Applejack. Oh my god.

You immediately pack up your stuff and head back to Sweet Apple Acres. Where you've been staying for six months now. As you entered the barn house, you notice that Applejack's not around. Good, she ain't here. She must be outside, you hope. You went into the guest bedroom where you've been sleeping. Setting your stuff down.

Wow. All this time you had a crush on Applejack and you didn't even know it. Shocking is it? You start to feel nervous at the feeling. Will she accept your request? Or will she reject you? that you don't know, but you really hope that she would. Asking her will be hard, and you have no idea how to confess to her. You just hope that you would keep you fingers crossed for that.

***

The Next Day.

You awake from your sleep, but didn't bother to open your eyes. You just lay there like a dog who's to lazy to get up and walk to its food bowl. After a few minutes of just laying there, you slowly open your eyes, got up, and stretched you limbs. You went downstairs to see if anyone's awake. You slowly walk down the stairs, walked to the living room. Good, no one's awa-

"Howdy partner!" Said a familiar voice calling from the kitchen. Cutting you out of your thoughts.

Oh no. It's Applejack. The love of your life. You just stood there, not saying anything.

"Um... Hi. AJ. Sleep well?"

"It was alright."

"That's good to hear." Was all you could say. Well play genius. "By the way. What are you doing up so early?"

"Well. Ah woke up for... who knows why." She said as her voice gets you hypnotize. But you did listen to every word she said. "Ah woke up and ah decided to come down here to get a snack. And than you showed up." She said smiling at you and eating a cracker in her hoof. A mid morning snack huh? All you could do was smile and stare at Applejack.

"You alright sugarcube?"

"Huh?"

"It looks like ya zoned out a little bit."

"I did?" Wait, you just zoned out? How long has it been? "I guess I did..." You said blushing. Nice one bro, it looks like you just completely ruined it. "Where's Apple Bloom?"

"Ah think she's about to get ready for school."

"Hey Applejack, Hey bro what's up?" Did Apple Bloom just call you bro?

"Howdy Apple Bloom." Said Applejack as she grabbed her and gave her a good morning hug. "You ready for school?"

"Sure am big sis." She said as she put the back pack on her back. "Ah'll see ya'll later."

"Want me to walk her to school Applejack?" You said which made Applejack surprised.

"Y-You would do that?"

"Why not. I mean, Apple Bloom and I are friends, aren't we?" You said with a smile and facing to Apple Bloom.

"Well... What do you think Apple Bloom?"

"Sure." She said smiling.

"Alright. Be back in a minute AJ."

***

Meanwhile, on the way to school.

"Hey. You alright?"

"Huh?"

"You've been dozing off somewhere. What are ya thinking of?"

"Um..." Oh wow. Have you been thinking of Applejack ever since you left the barn? How can you lie to her about what you were thinking? "I was thinking... about... uh..." Great, you can't think of anything, can you? "My music." Really? Your music? Is that it?

"Are ya sure you were thinking about y'er music?" holy crap! She knows you're lying. can you find a way out? Apple Bloom just gives you that smirk on her face. She knows something's up. And she can tell by your blush.

"Ya know." She said as she stopped walking. You stop with her. "I see ya with my sister all the time ya know. Do you... have a thing for her?"

"..."

"Wait a minute." She knows your silence. "You're in love with Applejack. Aren't ya?" She said punching you playfully.

"Uh..." Nice going genius. "No I don't. What are you talking about?!?" Apple Bloom gives you that devious smirk on her face again. "*sigh* Fine Apple Bloom. You caught me."

"Ah ha!" She yelled. "Ah knew it! You have a crush on mah sister!"

"But listen." You said getting her attention. "Can you promise me something?"

"Sure."

"You can't tell her that."

"Why not?"

"Well... uh... I'm just... Not ready to tell her yet." You said getting really nervous. "Please Apple Bloom? Please?" You said doing the puppy dog face.

"Alright. Y'er secret's safe with me."

"Thank you." You said with a smile on your face. And you two head to her school.

***

Finally. In no matter of time, you two reach her school. Her friends already waiting on her out front.

"Okay Apple Bloom. Remember our promise?"

"Mhmm?" She said nodding her head.

"Okay, good. I'll see you this afternoon."

"K." She said as she walked off, and you went back to Sweet Apple Acres. Damn this is gonna be a really long day. Even for you. Let's just hope that Apple Bloom won't tell AJ about your secret crush on her.

Chapter 3

You reach Sweet Apple Acres. As you approach the entrance. You see Applejack already bucking apple trees. You run over to her and ask "Need a hand?" which made Applejack surprised that you came home on time to help her, and she nods. So you help her out with the apples in the apple trees as they fall out and your hands are always useful to put the apples in the buckets.

***

The day goes on as you help Big Mac and Applejack a lot on the farm today. Helping out with the cider barrels, apple buckets, even helping Big Mac with the plow. You even cleaned up the house all by yourself one time which really impressed the Apple family. But you just did it for ol' Applejack.

"Whoo-wee partner. Ya do work hard don't ya?" AJ said punching you playfully. You just blush at her hoof touching you.

"Heh, yeah." You said scratching the back of your head and blush.

The day went on as you play your guitar on the couch downstairs. You decide to leave it downstairs from now on, since that they really like watching you play. You kept playing until.

"Hey." Applejack said getting your attention. "Can you pick up Apple Bloom from school for me?" Oh my god. Did she just ask you with that... that really cute face of hers? How can you ever say no to something like that?

"S-Sure." You said smiling immediately putting your guitar back on the stand turning off the amp, and headed to school to get Apple Bloom. As you arrived, you see Apple Bloom hanging with her Crusader friends as she's waiting for you. it wasn't long till she notices you.

"Howdy." She said as she's waving a hoof at you.

"Sup Apple Bloom? You ready?"

"Well, ah was thinkin' that ah would hang with mah friends for a bit."

"Alright. But you might want to ask Applejack if it's alright."

"Okay." She said as her and her Crusader friends follow you to Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack waits on the front porch as she saw the four of you approached.

"Howdy ya'll!" She called out from the front porch.

"Hey Applejack!" Apple Bloom called out. "Is it alright if I hang out with mah friends? We're gonna see if we could get our Cutie Marks for repairing stuff."

"Alright Apple Bloom." Applejack said giving her sister a warm smile. "Ya'll be careful out there."

"We will Applejack."

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS REPAIR TIME!!!! YAAAAAAY!!!" They said as they all ran off like a bullet coming out of a gun.

"Do they always do this?" You ask Applejack without thinking.

"Not all the time." She said as she looked at you. You can not get enough of her looking at you with those cute green orbs of hers. She looks so... beautiful.

***

The day went on. The sun is almost set when Apple Bloom and her friends have came inside. All covered in some black stuff.

"Well we're defiantly not getting our cutie marks for repairing engineer stuff." Said an orange filly who looks like she's really exhausted.

"Probably not." Said a white filly that has an 'is this your best idea?' face.

"Yeah. Ah can't believe that we almost got killed for doin' somthin' like that."

"What happened?" You ask.

***

"Okay Scootaloo. Take this ranch and fix that screw loose over there." Apple Bloom said pointing Scootaloo to something that needs to be repaired.

"Can do Apple Bloom." Said Scootaloo as she fixed the screw loose. "All fixed!"

"Alright. Sweetie Belle. Ah need you to take this powder and pour it in the boiling water in this pan."

"In the bioling water?"

"That's what the instructions said." Apple Bloom said pointing at the instructions. Sweetie Belle shrugs and starts pouring. "Little more." Apple Bloom said as she keeps pouring. What are they repairing anyway? "Liiiittle more." Apple Bloom continues saying as Sweetie Belle starts to dunk the powder into the boiling water. Are they scientist or something? Then Scootaloo bumps into Sweetie belle.

"AH!" Sweetie Belle screams as she drop the powder and it went into the boiling water.

BOOM!!!!!!

"*caugh*"

"Oops. Sorry Sweetie Belle. And... Apple Bloom." Said Scootaloo as if she's embarresed. They look around, they see some ponies that got knocked out by the explosion and they walked away like nothing happened.

(Note: They were in some kind of science lab thing.)

***

"Uh... That doesn't matter." Said Apple Bloom facing you and Applejack. "Oh and hey!" She said facing you. "Sweetie Belle was wanting to ask ya somethin'."

Sweetie Belle walks up to you with that smile on her face.

"What is it Sweetie Belle?"

"Well. Theres this school talent show coming up. I heard that you play guitar so I was wondering if you would like to join me in the school talent show this Friday." She said pulling out a flier from her back pack and hands it to you. You take it from her mouth and look at it. You look at Applejack, then back to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. or as you like to call them. "The fillies who wouldn't stop getting themselves almost to death."

"Sure Sweetie Belle. I'll do it." You said nervously.

"Sweet!" Sweetie Belle yells in excitement.

"Ya sure you can do this?" Applejack asked you with that worried look on her face.

"I hope so."

Chapter 4

Friday has arrived and you were nervous as hell. But hey, you really want to impress Applejack, that's why you joined Sweetie Belle at this whole school talent show thing with your guitar. Which both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle thinks it's neat as hell. Yes, that Jackson Warrior that you play?

"Are you okay?" Sweetie Belle asked you with that tone in her voice. She knows you're nervous.

"Yeah," you said with a shaky voice. "I'm just nervous, that's all. Are you nervous?"

"Eh, not really. I've done this about once or twice. So yeah." She said with a smile on her face of excitement and a crack in her voice.

"But hey." She said as she asked you to make eye contact with you. "It's gonna be okay. I promise. just pretend that everypony's not here. That's what me, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom did when we first performed in front of everypony. It wasn't bad." She said giving you a warm smile.

Oh wow. You're taking advise from... a kid, and she's right. Just pretend that everyone's not here. It'll be fine. After you two were called up. You start off with a slow and steady guitar solo. After a few seconds, Sweetie Belle pops in singing the course. Then the electric guitar sound kicks in and you start bobbing your head a little as your front hair covers your face and bounces as you start headbanging a little. Like... Toki Wartooth headbang.

As you and Sweetie are up on stage just... well jamming. The crawd starts to enjoy it. Until. Something fell from the sealing on the stage and it hits you in the head. Causing you to fall to the floor with your guitar landing on your face. Not if you catch it on time. As you move it out of the way, something else falls off and lands on your left arm and barley stabbing it straight through. Causing you to scream in pain. Sweetie Belle and some other ponies help get the large sharp object off of your arm. You're bleeding really bad, and you're shaking violently in pain as tears of pain start to fill your eyes.

"OH MY GOSH!!!! ARE YOU OKAY?!?!?" Sweetie bell asked, but you could barley hear her as to how hard you got hit in the head. But instead. You black out.

***

Everything is still black. You hear a heart thermometer as you start to wake up. You slowly open your eyes and look up just a little.

"Oh thank Celestia!" Said Sweetie Belle as she came and hug you. As you try to hug her back, but your left arm is in extreme pain.

"Mmm... what happened?"

"Somethin' hit you on the head, and somethin' else stabbed you in the arm." Said a familiar voice. It's Applejack. And she's not alone. Her friends are here, and so are the cutie mark crusaders. Your head also hurts really bad, and you notice that theres a bandage around it. And bandages around your arm, covered in blood. "Somethin' went through your arm." Said Applejack walking beside you. "That somethin' that stabbed your arm went almost all the way through. It almost cut your arm off. The doctor said you had to get fifty 'er so stitches for that." She said with that worried look on her face, her friends, and the fillies.

After a few seconds of breathing to calm down. A door opens. A moderate cerise coat. And flowers on her cutie mark. It's Miss Cheerilee. She has that really worried look on her face.

"Oh thank Celestia you're alright!" She said as tears start to form in her eyes. "Are you alright?! I didn't know what happened back there! I'm really really sorry it happ-"

You cut her off. "It's okay. We all didn't know it was gonna happen." You said giving her a warm smile. "It's okay. Accidents happen. And... how did it happen?"

"Well... that's what were trying to find out." Said Cheerliee with a calmed smile. She's finally relaxed. "It is good to here that you're alright." She said as she got next to Applejack and smiled at you. Sometimes accidents really do happen when you don't even know what's coming at you. The door opens, it's Nurse Redheart.

"How's our patient doing tonight?" She asked as she walked in.

"I'm great." You said with a smile. "And in very bad pain."

"I'm sorry. We'll give you some pain pills in the morning. It's time for you to go to sleep." She said with a warm smile.

"Huh?" Asleep. You don't want to. Not yet.

"Well come one guys." Said Twilight as everyone was about to walk out. "We'll come and visit you tomorrow." She said. But as Applejack was about to leave.

"Applejack!" You said as you grabbed her. "Don't go." She looks back at you. tears start to form on your eyes. "Please don't go! I don't want to be in here alone!"

"Honey." She said also crying and facing to you. "It'll be okay."

"No it wont!" You said as you can barley keep control of your breath, and pull her into a really tight hug. "I don't wanna be alone in here! By myself in this room! Alone!"

"Sugarcube. It'll be fine."

"No! I..." You pause as you blink a tear. Now could be the absolute time to tell her how you feel. "Can you guys step out for a minute? I need to talk to her." They all did as they were asked to do, with tears also in there eyes. "AJ. I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now." You said as tears run down your face.

"What is it Sugarcube?"

"I... I like you. I really, really like you!" This brings Applejacks face to shock.

"Wh-What?"

"I like you Applejack. I've... had a really huge crush on you ever since we've first met. I didn't know how I should tell you. I love working with you on the farm. I love everything about you. I love how you talk, your smile. I love all of it. I couldn't take it! I just want to make you really happy. I've gave you my entire heart. Even if it's a h-heart f-from a metal head er-" You can't say anything else. You just burst into tears. This also brings Applejack to tears. You're sitting there crying your eyes out, not wanting to leave her sight again. Now she knows how you feel, she knows how you will feel if she left you in the darkness of the room in Ponyville Heart.

"Sugarcube." She said as she brings you back into a hug. Her tears hitting your face. "You... you really mean all that?" You nod your head. You kept this to yourself this whole time. Except that two ponies know about it. You can't let her go, you don't want to.

"Honey. I know how you feel." She said as she breaks the hug. "But, we can't. I'm in love with another stallion."

"What?"

"I'm sorry ah didn't tell ya this. But, I'm in love with him, and he's..." She pauses. "You're really sweet, hard workin', you're really kind to mah family, you do know how to make me smile, plus you play that guitar really really well. But we just can't, I'm in love with him." She said as she brings you back into a hug. This causes your heart to drop to your stomach. Applejack breaks the hug and looks into your eyes. "I'm really sorry ah didn't tell you this sugarcube. I'll see ya tomorrow." She said as she got off the bed. You try to reach out to her, but she's already at the door.

"Applejack!"

She opens the door. "I'll see ya tomorrow sugarcube." She said as she shut the door behind her. You start to cry your eyes out as she did that. Now you're alone in the darkness of the room. You've just got your heart broke by the pony you really love. You lay your head on the pillow and you sob until you cried yourself to sleep.

Author's Note

Hey guys. it's me. This idea of making this story has been with me for a while. So I hope you guys enjoyed it. Theres more chapters coming soon.

P.S. This story has been updated.

Chapter 5

You have no idea how long you've been sitting there in the hospital bed of "Ponyville Heart." Sitting there crying your eyes out after what Applejack had said to you. She didn't tell you that she's in love with another stallion. What's that all about? Sitting there alone in the darkness with nothing but your thoughts as you're interrupted by a thundering sound and a lightning flash outside. Guessing the pegasis must of scheduled a storm tonight huh.

You covered yourself up as your sore arm's tucked underneath you. You just laied there crying, until you start to feel your eyes getting a bit heavy. Then you start to fall asleep.

* * * * * *

Opening your eyes. You've been awakened by the princesses sun beaming down on you. But you didn't bother opening your eyes, you just wished you wake up in the guest bedroom where you slept in at Sweet Apple Acres.

You hear a door opening, but still haven't bother opening your eyes. You don't care who it is, but if it's Applejack. You'll be damned well opening your eyes and hug her as tight as you can.

"Hey, buddy." You hear a familiar voice. It's Rainbow Dash. She knows you're awake. You slowly open your eyes to greet Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, and Twilight.

"Hey." You said getting up.

"How's your arm?" Twilight asked as she looked at the bloody bandage.

"Stings."

"I'm sorry." She said as she brings you in for a hug. "We heard about you and Applejack last night. We're really sorry she broke your heart like that."

"Yeah," Said Pinkie Pie getting into the conversation. "So we brought you some cake to cheer you up."

Okay, maybe a good slice of Sugarcube Corner cake can't hurt, can it? You just smiled a little bit.

"Thanks guys." You said as you took the fork from the cake and ate away. If you haven't used your right arm. It hurts like hell. The door opens again, there, was Fluttershy, and Rarity. Where's Applejack?

"Hi, darling. How are you?" Rarity asked you with a warm smile.

"Fine."

"That's good to hear." Said Fluttershy as she walked to the right side of the bed.

"W-Where's Applejack?"

"She said she couldn't make it here to see you, darling." Rarity said with the sad look on her face, and the others.

Rainbow Dash continues to speak. "She said that she was sorry about last night. But yeah, she couldn't make it here to see you."

"Is she bucking apple trees?" You asked in a quiet voice.

The others looked at each other, then to you. Something's not right. "Uh... yes. Yes she is." Rarity said as she and the others put on a fake smile. Something's definitely not right.

"Okay then." You said as you continued eating the cake Pinkie gave you. Just by the look on their faces, something's definitely not right about them. You just can't put your finger on it.

* * * * * *

Mean While, At Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack bucks away on her apple bucking. She can't stop thinking about you, and what happened last night at the talent show, and at Ponyville Heart. She feels really bad that you had a crush on her for six long months.

"Hi, honey." Applejack hears a familiar voice to her left.

"Oh, hi hon." She said feeling down.

"What's wrong?"

"It's uh... it's nuthin" She said as she bucked the apple tree.

Her coltfriend seems to get that little unhappy look on his face. "I see, you're thinking about that... hideous human again, aren't you?"

"Uh? No, no ah wasn't." She said as she gets that sad look on her face.

"Uh-hu."He said. "I don't want you to go near him ever again!"

"He lives with us!" Applejack shouts.

"Then kick him out." Oh, he did not just say that.

"Ah can't kick him out like that! You know what wi-" Her thoughts were interrupted by her coltfriend slapping her across the face. "D-Did you just..." Applejack's speechless, and tears flooding her eyes.

"Hurts doesn't it? I don't want you to go near him ever again." He said through clenched teeth. "Understood?" Applejack just stood there in silence, scared out of her mind. "I'll keep that in mind." He said as he walked off. "I'll see you later."

"Yeah, see ya." She said in a soft tone and felt her cheek. "Ah can't believe he did that." She went back into her apple bucking as she tries to put that thought to the side. Now she's wishing you were here. And she's probably thinking that she never turned you down like that.

* * * * * *

A week has passed, and you've been laying on your bed what feels like a hundred years now. You hear a door open.

"Hey buddy." Nurse Redheart said smiling. "You have a special visitor." Special? You narrow a brow. She opens the door to let that 'special' visitor in. It's Applejack. But wait, she doesn't look a bit happy. She feels... sad.

"Applejack!" You said as you bring her into a hug. You smiled and tears of joy run down your face. "Oh my god! I can't believe you're here!"

"Hey, Sugarcube." She said putting on a fake smile.

"AJ, what's wrong?"

"Nuthin'."

"Wait, what happened to your eye?"

"Mah eye? Um..."

"Wait, did he... did that stallion hit you?"

"Now sugar, don't be-"

"HE HIT YOU DID HE?!?" A moment passed after Applejack starts to burst into tears. "Oh my god." You said in shock. "I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind when I-"

"Sugar!" Applejack cuts you off before you can finish. "Ah have to tell you somethin'." She said as tears drop away from her eyes.

"Y-You can't stay with us anymore." Wait, what did she just say? This turns your face from anger, to shocked.

"Huh?"

"They found that portal where you came from. After you get out of the hospital, it's time fer you to go home."

"N-N-No!" You said as you brought her into a hug that you can barley hold because of your arm, but Applejack breaks it. "I don't wanna go home AJ, I want Ponyville to be my home. You guys made me the most happiest human in the world. I don't wanna leave, not yet."

"Ah'm sorry, sugarcube." She said as she starts to walk off. "Ah'm really sorry."

Chapter 6

Finally, two weeks almost here after you've been laying on the same bed. You're ready to go home. But that home is Sweet Apple Acres, you don't wanna go back to Earth. You just can't.

The door opens, and Nurse Redheart walks in. "How's my patient doing?"

"My arm still hurts." You said looking at it.

"I'm sorry, hon." She said looking at you. You remember Applejack use to call you that. You haven't seen her for a week now. What's wrong with her? "Well, I just come to let you know that we're checking you out of the hospital." Oh no, if you leave the hospital. You'll have to leave Ponyville, and... and Applejack. But you can't argue with that.

"Alright." You sighed in knowing you have to leave. This sucks.

* * * * * *

You followed Nurse Redheart down the hallway, now with the clothes you came in, and the bandages in your arm.

"You can come back in a couple more weeks and your arm will be better as a bunny with his mother." Said Nurse Redheart. 'Easy for you to say.' You think to yourself. "Oh, and theirs somepony waiting for you in the waiting room."

Is it Applejack? Who can it be? Finally, you reached the waiting room. The smile on your face went to a frown. It's Fluttershy.

"Oh hi." She said smiling.

"Hey, Fluttershy." Nurse Redheart said as she looked at her Ponyville friend. "He's ready to go. He needs to come back in a couple of weeks to get the stitches off his arm."

"Okay." Fluttershy said with a smile. After everything else was done, you and her walked down the road. That sad look still on your face. "What's wrong?"

"Where's Applejack?" You still can't get her out of your head. Is this bothering you?

"She hasn't visited you?" You just shake your head. "Oh my, Um... well... I don't know. At home probably." As soon as you heard that, you ran down to Sweet Apple Acres to see what she's up too.

Please let it be apple bucking. Oh, please let it be apple bucking!

* * * * * *

You arrive at Sweet Apple Acres. You approached the entrance. Till you saw...

"Leave me alone!"

"You're gonna do it!"

"No ah'm not! I'm not tellin' him! Leave me alone, we're done!"

"Are you breaking up with me?!?"

"Yeah! NOW LEA-"

"Whoa whoa whoa." The stallion pins Applejack on the wall. "We are done, till I say we're done. You're gonna tell that human he has to leave... or else." He shows Applejack his hoof. She just nods and she's in tears. "Good girl." He said as he shoved her down.

"OOF!"

"HEY!" You yelled as you watched Applejack get pushed. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO HER!?!" You yelled as you held Applejack. "YOU JACKASS!!"

"Oh, my bad." he said as he's saying 'I don't care.'

"Hey, sis. Hey bro." Said Apple Bloom as she approached you three.

"Ugh." He said as if he feels discussed. "Who are you?"

"A-Ah'm Applejacks sister." Said Apple Bloom as she backed up a little.

"I've never seen such a... horrible looking filly in my whole life."

'OH HE DID NOT!!' You think to yourself. This brings Apple Bloom into tears.

"GRRR..." You growled, you get up. "LISTEN HERE YOU YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!" You roared. "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?!? YOU SHOULDN'T BE TALKING TO ANYBODY LIKE THAT AROUND THEM!! EVER!!!" You said as you punched him with your un-injured arm. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!"

He just trots off. You look at Applejack, kneeling down to her. Then you see Apple Bloom crying her eyes out. "Come here A.B." You said as you hugged the two ponies in your arms. "I'm sorry he called you that Apple Bloom."

"H-He said ah was ugly!"

"He's wrong. I think you look pretty."

"*sniff* Y-You... You think so?"

"I know so." You said smiling. And you looked at Applejack. "I'm really sorry he hit you like that. I wished I could of done something. It was stupid of me to stand there and... just watch." You said as you blame yourself for not doing anything. You really wished you could've done something. But you didn't.

"Ah know, hon." Applejack said bursting into tears. You hugged the two ponies in your arms, not wanting to let go.

* * * * * *

The day left. You were getting ready to pack your stuff, just before Granny Smith was about to cook dinner.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Your thoughts were interrupted by Big MacIntosh.

"Oh, hey Big Mac." You said as you packed your guitar. "I'm... packing."

"Why?"

"Applejack told me I was leaving after I got out of the hospital." You said when your eyes start to tear up.

"What are you talking about? Celestia's troops haven't found your home yet."

"Huh?"

"They haven't found the portal to your home. We want you to stay here."

"Are you serious?"

"Eeyup." Said Big Mac as he sits beside you. You hear Granny Smith walk in the living room too. "We sent the letter to the Princess a few months ago to let you stay here. We know how much you love it here."

"And you'd be a great member to the family." Granny Smith said getting into your thoughts of surprise. "Fer a metal head that is." She teased.

"So that's why you said she hasn't found the portal yet." You said still in surprise.

"Eeyep. And we heard about you and Applejack a couple of weeks ago. We know how much you love her."

"Really?"

"Oh yes, it's sad to see meh granddaughter to be with... that horrible stallion. He doesn't deserve to be with her." Granny Smith said in a broken hearted tone to find that her granddaughter is being abused. And pour Apple Bloom had her feelings hurt.

"We saw you stood up to him earlier at the barn. We know how much you cared for her, and Apple Bloom."

"That's right. We think you're the one who should be with Applejack. Not that horrible stallion." Said Granny Smith with that smile on her face.

You just stayed quiet, not saying a word. They think you diverse Applejack, you've been awfully kind to her and her family. They think you should live with them, and they want you to be a member of the family? Wow.

Tears of joy start to fill your eyes. "Thanks guys... It *sniff* It really means a lot." You bring them in for a hug. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome sonny." The hug breaks.

"Where's Applejack?" You ask.

"She said she's walking into town. Do you think you can catch her and tell her dinner's ready?" Said Big Mac with a worried face, but a calm voice.

You think for a minute at why she went for a walk. Oh no. You get up quickly. "I'll be back as fast as I can!" You said as you ran out the door.

"Good luck!" Both Granny Smith and Big Mac yelled to you.

Oh no, this is bad!

Chapter 7

You dashed out of the barn house, and you head straight into town. Applejack said that she'll be back soon, probably another lie from her. What's this stallion gonna do next?

You ran and ran, not even bothering to stop. You hope it's not too late.

* * * * * *

Applejack's walking down the cobblestone road, with that sad, scared look on her face. There's something up with this damn stallion she's dating.

"There you are." He said as he saw her approached him. "Glad you made it."

"M-Me too." Said AJ scared not making eye contact with him.

"We ready to get this over with hon?"

"Wh-What do you mean?"

"I mean." He said as he walked to her and he put his hoof on her... "We takin' it further." He whispered in her ear. Applejack shivered, she's now scared out of her mind.

"Ah... Ah can't." She said as she backed off.

The stallion pins her to a wall. "We're gonna take this relationship further, whether you like it or no-" His speech was interrupted as you came up behind him out of no where. Pulling him off of Applejack, and you just punched away with your uninjured arm. You then grabbed him and pinned him on a tree.

"Wha-What are you-"

PUNCH (Right in the face.)

You look at him with those eyes. Those eyes of blackness, darkness, and anger inside of them. All you can hear echoing in your mind.

'Kill him, kill him, kill him.'

You threw him on the ground and you continued punching him in the face as hard as you can. Tears of anger running down your face. As you stop, he shivers in pain.

"Listen here you sick son of a bitch." You said in an anger, but very low tone in your voice. "You ever go near her again. I swear to god I'll eat your heart out. You got that?" He nods, he's defiantly scared of you now. "Good," You said as you got up, and kicked him. "Now go!"

He gets up. But as he runs off, he stops, looks at Applejack. She walked up to him, and slapped him across the face. Payback's a bitch.

"Okay, we're done. I get it!" He said as he ran away like mad.

As rain starts to drop. Applejack turns around where she saw you, she ran up to you and just hugged you. Not wanting to let go.

"Oh, Sugarcube. Ah'm really sorry. Ah wish ah never let ya down like that!" She said as she's now in tears. "Ah'm awfully sorry if ah lied too, I really didn't mean to. Ah promise, please don't hate me!"

"Applejack," You said which she breaks the hug and looks into your eyes. "It's okay, I'm not mad. You were just afraid, that's all. And I promise, he wont lay a hoof on you ever again." You said as you brought her back into the hug in the pouring rain, then break the hug again. "Did he hurt you?"

Applejack lifts up a hoof, it's bleeding. So's her forehead. "Come on, let's get you home." You said as you lifted her.

"Wha-What are you-"

"I'm not letting you walk in that hoof." You said smiling as she brings you in for a hug, and pecks you on the check.

"Thank you." She said smiling.

"Anytime." You said as you walked her home in the pouring rain.

* * * * * *

At last you arrived at Sweet Apple Acres. Even though you did your best to carry her with your sore arm. But oh well, you just wanted Applejack safe, and that's all that matters. You take Applejack to her bathroom upstairs where the first aid kit should be if you're not mistaking.

You sat her down, and looked into the cabinets. You mumbled to yourself where it is, until finally you found it. You grabbed the stuff that you need. You wrapped a bandage around Applejacks head as you placed her hat on the kitchen sink. After that, you placed her hat back on.

You positioned the spray in at her hoof, then you remember something. You put it down and grabbed a wash rag from underneath the sink.

"Bite on this." You said as she did as she was told. You take the spray and now positioned it. "This is gonna hurt for only a second. Okay?" You said as AJ nods her head and closes her eyes. You take a deep breath. "Here it goes."

'spray'

"MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!" AJ moaned into the rag as you sprayed her bloody hoof. As you stop spraying and put the bandage around it. You take the rag from her mouth, and she just smiles.

"How is it?" You ask.

"Ah... It stings a little." You gently take her hoof and kiss it. AJ blushed a little as you kissed her hoof.

"Better?"

"Better."

* * * * * *

You and Applejack are now sitting on the couch. The sun is further gone and it's already late at night. But you didn't care. You just wanted to be with her.

"You know, sugarcube?" Applejack said as she grabbed your attention. "You can be a real sweetheart. Ah'm sorry if ah let you down like that a couple weeks ago. Ah wish ah never gone out with that stallion who's in nothin' but trouble." She said as she brought you in for a hug. "Ah can't believe that you were there for me this whole time. How?"

"AJ." You said as you look into her eyes. "I was with you this whole time. In your heart, there could be some one who'll beat the living crap out of you. But I'm not that type of human, I just can't stand by and watch you suffer any longer. I just... couldn't." You said as you broke into tears.

"I love you Applejack, and I'll do anything to keep you safe. No matter what happens." Applejack just went into tears when she heard those words come out of your mouth. "So... I don't know if you want to but... Can we?"

Applejack just smiled the best she can as she burst into tears. "Well honey. You're awfully kind to meh family, you helped out on the barn, and you can be a really good sweetheart." She looks into your eyes deeper, and still that smile on her face. "Ah guess h can give you a chance."

"R-Really?"

"Why not. You took care of me. You rescued me, and best of all. You was there for me the whole time, sugarcube. Ah'll be more then happy to be your date. And plus..." She places a hoof to your cheek as you're still in shock. "You can play that guitar awfully well. But with your sore arm, ah don't know how long ya'll can go without playin' the thing. And... you'll be a fine member to the apple family."

You bring her into a tight hug, tears hitting her shoulder as Applejack's tears of her own hit yours. "Thank you." You said in a whisper Applejack pecks you on the cheek.

"You're welcome, sugarcube. You're welcome."

Chapter 1

You've been walking with Princess Celestia to somewhere that you didn't bother asking where to go. Your arm feels really sore after falling out of the sky and your really heavy guitar case that has your guitar in it has fallen on your arm, and jeez does it hurt. Your legs feel sore as well, you could barley walk. The guards that are walking beside you as well seem to be paying no attention to you. Except the one behind you.

"We are almost here." Said the Princess. Huh? Where's here? You don't see anything. All You see is a view of Canterlot that feels like it's a million miles away. And mountains that are... Oh wait. It's a... Apple field?

Hang on a second. Why an Apple farm? Is this some kind of joke? You hate living on farms. But hey, if she says you have to stay here, so be it. you can't disobey it. "Wait here." Said the Princess. You do as you were told, and you find a fence and sat down by it, with your guitar case still on you back. You put you knees to your chest and wrap your arms around them. You don't know how long you're gonna be here. You remember being in the Canterlot castle for a few days, and you have to say. All that time you were alone in there with nothing but your thoughts, and your guitar which you hardly played when you got here. It was a pain in the ass on how sore you really are.

You rest your eyes for a minute. You start to daydream until.

"Applejack. Let me introduce you to him." You here Princess Celestia pointing at you. You open your eyes, and there was a pony that has an orange coat, a stention hat, freckles, and Apples on her flank. You didn't say anything as your half lidded eyes just stare at her as if she's an insect that you must squash. "You don't mind him staying here for a while until we can find his way home, do you?"

"Not at all, Princess Celestia." Said Applejack happily. As she got done talking, you see three more ponies walk in your vision beside Applejack. When the Princess introduced you to her, and the Apple family. You're not sure what to think. Though, it is nice to see some... friendly faces around here. Isn't it? You have no idea what to think. Though you are really shy. That's no big deal right? Right?

"Howdy, Ah'm Applejack!" Applejack said happily as she walked toward you.

"Let me introduce you to the Apple family. This here is Apple Bloom, Big MacIntosh, and Granny Smith." Wow. This is gonna be hell to you. You think.

"Howdy Mr... Uh..." said the little filly confused as if she doesn't know what you are. You try to step back. You're really scared and you're shaking out of your mind by all these... talking ponies. "What? Was it somethin' ah said?"

"Uh... no Apple Bloom. I think he's just shy." Applejack said turning to you. "It's alright sugarcube, we ain't gonna hurt you." She said giving you a warm smile.

Wait. Is she... trying to calm you down? Yes she is. And you just sat there, not saying anything. Trying to find the right words to say as she held out her hoof to you. You grab her hoof with your hand. Oh my, it feels soft and warm. So does her soft fur around it. She just gives you that warm smile on her face. Telling you that everything's going to be okay.

***

About an hour has passed, and you've just went to your new room that Applejack led you to. Not the best, but it'll have to do. You sat your guitar and amplifier down and looked around. A bed, a dresser, a night stand. That's about it. You thank her for the room that the Apple family offered you. She shuts the door to leave you alone for a little bit. You sat on the bed, just sitting there how to get back to Earth. You're sitting there, still thinking. Then you decide to take a little nap. Not even bothering to slip in the covers, you just lie there, resting your eyes on the soft comfy bed that feels like a cloud that you could sleep on all night long.

You start to wake up. You hear Applejack shaking you a little bit. You start to open your eyes slowly. Finding her in front of you.

"Hey." She said softly with that smile. "Supper's ready. If y'er hungry."

"Thanks." You said quietly as you rose up and stretched your limbs. You went downstairs with Applejack. Knowing to smell a sent of... stuff related to apples. You see Apple Bloom with a little coloring book. Big Mac in his chair with a little book. And Granny Smith preparing super. You just watched as Applejack takes a seat.

"You comin' partner?"

"Huh?" You said as you got back from thinking. "Y-Yeah. Thanks for this." You said as you sat down.

"You're welcome sugarcube." She said as she puts a hoof around you. She feels... really warm. It feels like that... she's a really good friend to you. You all start to eat up. OH WOW, THIS IS DELICIOUS.

"So." Apple Bloom said getting you attention. "What's that guitar case that you carry around?"

"I uh..." You're not gonna try to explain that you play guitar, are you? "I play guitar." Yep.

"You do?" Big Mac said facing to you.

"Yeah." You said as you looked down on your bowl. "I do."

"Whoa nilly! I would like to see you play!" Applejack said as her face turns to excitement.

"Do ya know any country songs?"

"Uh..." Oh no. You don't listen to that kind of stuff. The only music you're into... is metal. "Want me to bring my guitar down?"

Applejack and the others nod in excitement.

"Oh sonny. I can't wait to hear ya play that guitar of y'ers!" Granny smith said also in excitement. As you heard that you ran upstairs to grab your guitar that's been in your case. And you grabbed your amplifier as well. It wasn't long till you got downstairs with your equipment.

"Well what are ya waitin' for, partner?" Said Applejack filled with excitement. "Hook er up." So that's what you did. You hooked up your amp. You grab your guitar case, unzipped it. You pulled out a pick. It's dark and has a skull on it. Finally you pull out your guitar. Wait it wasn't what the Apple family had expected. It's a Jackson Warrior.

You hooked up the cord to the amp. You turned the volume on it only a tab bit up. Almost to "1" you don't want the amp to loud.

"Whoa. Is that y'er guitar?" Said Apple Bloom in a stage of shock.

"Yeah." You said as you looked at the apple family when they came into the living room where you're at to watch you play. "This is my guitar."

"Wow. it looks..." Applejack's speechless. So are the others. They probably know you're not into country music now. You're probably thinking that their thinking about 'what is he into?' Finally you begin playing a song that you thought of. The Apple family is... really shocked at the kind of music you play.

"Uh..." Was all Apple Bloom could say when she saw your fingers move as fast as lightning. They were all surprised.

"Well I'll be." Applejack said as she finds the right words. "That was... amazing."

"D-Do you know any other songs that you can play?" Apple Bloom said her eyes glued to you guitar. You take a deep breath.

"I... got another."

As the song ends. Theres that same look on their faces still. They had no idea that you could play that quick, or that... you're into metal. Crazy isn't it? Playing heavy metal music in front of ponies who's not interested into that kind of music. But they have to admit it. they think you're really good, and they mean too good.

"What kind of music do ya play?" Little Apple Bloom asks while taking a good look at your guitar.

"Metal." Was you response.

"Metal huh?" Applejack said with that look of shock still on her face. You nod at the statement. And you start to play a small solo on the guitar from top to bottom. "Wow." Was all Applejack could say. Leaving Big Mac and Granny Smith speechless. And little Apple Bloom still examing your guitar as if it's a deadly weapon. Sure it's the best weapon a man can have, but it's not deadly.

"Ya know." Apple Bloom said with the smile on her face. "This guitar looks kinda cool."

"Thanks." You said as you start to turn off the amp. Damn, you know Apple Bloom isn't into metal, but you never expected for her to call your guitar... cool.
