Chapters My name is Wes Buckler, I am 17 and I live in Augusta, Maine. Not the most famous place but its still nice to live here. Before I entered high school, I did a mess of things, I worked in stores cleaning shelves, volunteer in animal shelters, helped in bakery's and clean up the park but I usually got bored at those things so I never learned much or stuck around.
In elementary, I was kind of popular for being taller and charismatic with my classmates. I Remember them fighting on who gets me for their team or me being Line leader or ball manager. Before I use to be really impatient with my problems and also had bad manners, Today i'm a lot more lay back and understanding but a bit of a loner.
I did not wanted be treated badly or told I was bad at something. I did not want people's criticism so when I reached my sophomore year at high school, I joined the football team, I got a spot as the kicker and I earned some respect but I was not that popular. I personally thought I had an "OK" Life but I always knew others had it worse, especially the other students at my school that the team bullied.
3rd person view
"Hey Wes you got to see this!" said a student rushing past Wes. Wes jogged several feet before he spotted a large group gathered at the mess hall.
"Hey man, so whats all the noise about?" asked Wes peeking over.
"The Guys on the team are picking on a new kid today." said the student while observing them.
"That's nothing new! I got classes." said Wes getting ready to leave .
"Hey man you got to look at the kids notebook." said one of the bullies while handing their victims notebook .
"Hooooolllllllyyyyy Shhhhittt. are you serious?!" Said the other bully, their victim only glared at them, like he was expecting the worst.
"Why the hell do you have stupid pony sketches?" asked the bully while continuing to rant. "No really man, there's girl ponies in here to what's with this, did someone from our team tell you to carry this? If so-"
"Shut up!" was all the new kid said. One of the bullies stared at him for a few seconds and said,
"What you say to me?" the kid responded,
"SHUT UP!" Immediately the crowd went
'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' Wes was watching the scene from a further point of view a bit surprised at what happened.
Wes's POV
"Brave kid, too bad he got his head knocked out." I said in class as others were still talking about it.
"Ya first time I ever saw a brony." said my other classmate.
"Whats a brony?" I asked.
"You Don't know Wes? Ok, have you ever heard of a show called My Little Pony?" said my classmate.
"No, it sounds like a show were you raise a horse" I said in a humorous tone, making a few laugh. No, it turns out it was a little girls show that ended up becoming popular with teenage boys and grown men was how I summarized it.
At practice, I saw my teammates, the ones who were bullying the new kid. "So their only gonna run 10 laps, huh." I said with my other teammates watching.
" yeah, coach can't lose a defensive linemen and a running back." said one of my teammates.
After practice, I went home hoping I could clear my mind. My home was a standard 2 floor suburb house which looked the same as the other house. My parents and I use to be real close when I was in middle school. They took me hiking non stop to so many places deserts, glaciers, mountains, and forests. I would go on forever exploring the terrain. Nowadays their too busy with work.
So its just me and an empty house. I guess i'll just hit the school work and get ready for tomorrow, I thought to myself. My grades were average so I wasn't on any honor roll so if I got an answer wrong, its no big deal to me. Eventually when I was done, I had a few hours to spend before bed.
I hopped on my computer and logged in my social media page "Same as always." I said, I got the occasional music event that's not that exciting, the guy that invites you to play that app, and a tag that was referred to everyone. Well it was very boring so I clicked to my search engine, "Should I look up that show I was told about?" I thought, it sounded ridiculous but no one was around there was no harm. "Fine, one episode." I said with a smug on my face.
23 minutes later
"Oh man..." was what I said, leaning back on my chair "...Well, I need to know what happens so i'll just watch the next episode and go to sleep." I could not understand why I was doing this.
another 23 minutes Later
I hated to admit it but the show was not that bad, I looked at some of the fan comments and it was all positive things like there was not any criticism or immature things people said. "I should have defended that kid." I thought while turning my computer off.
Later that night around one, I woke up to a noise. "... What was that? It better not be the neighbors cat again" I said to myself. Either way, I needed a drink of water. As i arrived to the kitchen, I looked outside my house parkway "My folks still not home, huh." I drank my water and was going back to my room until..."Whats that there?" I looked at my backyard and I saw small dots glowing like fireflies.
I could hardly see them so I went up to them. I got close and they looked a lot interesting. When I did get closer, the things I thought were fireflies stuck on me. "Oooohhhhh! god " I yelled while backing up, I then saw a few back away and start to swirl around me. suddenly i saw a white room around me i thought i was a goner but my body was still intact. I could still hear my heart beating from that experience so i know it's not a dream.
" hello there. you must be Wes Buckler" a voice said. i then turn around at it.
I wanted to believe it was a dream really, I was not on any medication and my occulus rift is broken. What was facing me was the pony I saw from that show, Princess Luna! Directing her presence at me, she was real. Does that mean the other pony's from that show are real? The big question was "Why was I here?"
"What your seeing is real, I am princess Luna, please to meet you Wes." she said with formality. I knew who she was, it's not easy forgetting a character like her, maybe she does know that her worlds a show and she want's a review from me. I thought with my confused humor. It took forever for me to speak but I finally said,
"How can I help a character I thought was fictional."
She then laughed a bit. "I would thought your reaction would be different from that." she said.
"Oh no, don't get me wrong, my hearts still beating badly at what happened and to see this too." I said while looking down.
"Well, I will tell you only a few things from here." the night princess said.
"Your a human that my magic has lead me to and I need somepony to serve in my world in case anything should happen to the six elements of harmony." It took a while for me to respond.
"You mean like back up?"
"Yes" she replied. "They will eventually follow their own dreams and perhaps one day go their separate ways, what I want is to make sure Ponyville has a extra protector in case the situation should rise. You can refuse because it will take very long and away from your home, you will also be transformed into a pony if you do accept?"
She was telling me to go over to her world and leave mine for a long period of time. This sounds unreal confusing, and I was unsure but I was thinking of my tomorrow or my future, it was my same life with my jerk teammates, my boring classmates, an empty house, which had made my decision easier. "I'll be honest with you, if I go tell someone what I just saw they will call me crazy. I don't exactly have plans and I hear your world's not that bad, guess my answer's yes." I said with acceptance.
Princess Luna finally said,"Very well, from now on you will be known as Weather Buckler."
Everything had gone blank and I had no idea where I was. Being teleported was a feeling I would not get use to.
My Basic senses came back and I saw what was around me. There was so much of green landscape and around me were dozens of trees from the looks of it I was in a forest and a large one too. But facing to my north was a town I recognized. "That's Ponyville?" I said while narrowing on it's details from afar. I then felt more strange as I realized I was on the ground standing on four legs...hold on they were hooves.
"What! hold on...I..I'm Really." I stuttered like an idiot as I looked at my body's transformation. My skin color was a dark grey, my body frame was that of a miniature pony, I had hair or mane that had a light to dark blue spiked formation that just reached my collarbone, also my tail which shocked me was also blue. There was also some strange symbol on my rear seemed like a small shield being hit by various stripes of color.
suddenly, a roar of thunder broke my concentration, "Whoa! The sky is completely covered in clouds, don't tell me there's going to be a storm." I thought as a sudden a voice spoke to me.
"Seems the weather team is making up a big storm to skip a few rain days, I wonder why?" princess Luna said.
"You told me I was going to stay here for a long time, does that mean I can go back? Also what exactly should I do when I get to Ponyville?" I asked with large concern, hoping to get help.
"Wes you see..." out of nowhere, a letter came out of the air and revealed to the princess. "Oh my, seems like I'm greatly needed at the moment. Wes take this bag." she then brought forward a bag and placed it on me.
"In there, you will find money, food and blankets. Sorry to say but you have to go without me, when you do get to Ponyville try obtaining a house and befriending the ponies there but not before the mane six. I presume you know who they are?" I then answered,
"Yea" and we had parted ways after that.
I was making my way to Ponyville, actually, I was in a hurry to do so since there was a storm approaching. I was not that far off and i was use to running so I doubt I needed to take a break."Guess my drills in practice and this pony like frame is paying off." I mumbled to myself as I was running.
I started thinking why did I agree so willingly? Was it because I hate my life and this was much better? If you were to ask me, I would answer not exactly. There is a moment in your life when your just tired and bored and don't care about anything else. I was in that mood, will I regret it tomorrow? Maybe but it's too late and this opportunity won't show up again so I must accept it. All of a sudden, I hear a voice asking something.
"Mister! please help me, my friend is in danger." I then stopped and turned to the voice and it was a kid or filly's as there called, I don't know how to describe her she had a large ribbon and she seemed frightened so I needed to handle her situation carefully.
"Hey it's ok, whats wrong?" I asked with concern.
"My friend Scootaloo is trapped by a river and I can't get to her. Please mister, I need somepony's help!" the small pony pleaded like she was scared and confused. I needed to answer her.
"I... C'mon let's get to your friend."
We both headed to her friends direction, these were my first hours in Equestia and they seemed like the longest hours I spent anywhere.
Author's Note
this story is on fan fiction but i put it on this website in case something happens .
**Wes's pov**
As I was running towards the river that the Filly's friend was in, I was thinking why i agreed so suddenly. I never defended any of the kids my team would pick on so what's different with this situation? Was it because it was life or death and a kid was asking me? I could not come up with an answer so I followed my very worried guide as fast as possible because that was the only thing I could do right now.
My Friend Suddenly slowed down which was a sign we arrived. I looked around and the area did not look like a river but a channel with rushing water which would rival the sound of the storm. At one end was me and the filly but on the other side was the endangered filly's friend who was hanging on a branch, not wanting to be swept away by the current.
"Scootaloo! It's Me Applebloom, I brought somepony that could help just hang tight, ok?" she yelled as I caught her name clearly which meant that I did not have to ask it later. Now her friend was a different story. Me and Applebloom were probably over 100 feet apart from Scootaloo and it looked very deep. I could see why she needed help. I needed to have at least some information before I made a bad decision.
First, i had to ask. "Your friend's a Pegasus, is she hurt?" I asked in a calm manner.
"Yes mister, she fell and got trapped. I don't think the branch will last very long so i couldn't wait for help" she said to me. There was no time to wait for anyone else and I was not expecting to find someone else to help me so I made a quick plan.
"Ok Applebloom, I need you to find a long branch and stick it out in her direction. I am planning to let the current carry me to Scootaloo then when I grab her, we will be carried closer to you with her ticket out of this mess. You get me?" I asked her as she raised an eyebrow at me.
"That sounds like a crazy idea, but I am willing to try anything to help my friend. I believe you can do it uhhhh? What's your name?" I was gonna answer when Scootaloo suddenly yelled,
"HEY! WOULD YOU TWO STOP TALKING AND HELP ME OUT! I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!" She yelled, which turned our attention back to the problem at hand.
"Right, let's get to work. Go!" I commanded as me and Applebloom parted ways to our positions. I got to a good distance where I would believe would bring me closer to her. I had to take a leap of faith to reduce the distance. "I hope i'm right..." I mutter out before taking few steps and launched myself to a good distance. But it was when I hit the water that I learned how serious this was.
"AH! I can't move!" The pressure from the water was enough to stop me from moving and push me down underwater and no matter where I moved, I was being held down. Even when I was barely moving to Scootaloo's direction, it would not be enough to get to her in time.
"It's like i'm being tackled by my teamates." I said, remembering my world as I struggled.
"Mister over here!" scootaloo cried out to me. I was not even close to her and I was passing by further way. I saw her face turn to me, expecting me to do something but no matter what I did, I was not making any progress and I was feeling disappointed in myself.
"C'mon! I don't want to lose to water!" I was only making it more embarrassing by still saying things that would get her hopes up. I thought it was over until I started to swim a bit faster. I noticed the pressure from the water felt weaker and my body becoming stronger.
The rushing water felt like air to me now!. I was not moving fast but I was reaching closer to Scootaloo. I was confused why this happened.
"You can do it, Mister!" Scootaloo cheered me on. I then heard a noise. "It's the branch! it's going to break." Scootaloo yelled frantically.
"That's fine, I'm here now. Grab onto me and we will head towards your friend and your way out." I told her while taking deep breaths.
"Thanks mister! Now let's get out of this mess." she said and then wrapped her hooves around my waist. Me and Scootaloo were now letting the water take us in our intended destination before I yelled for Applebloom.
"APPLEBLOOM, GET READY! WE'RE COMING!" Sure enough, the branch I wanted to see was in sight. Getting this force of water was easy now but I was feeling tired for some reason, it was like I wanted to finish this task as fast as possible. "Hey Scootaloo, grab the branch and make your way back up it would feel weird if I went first." I said with dark humor that I used on rare occasions.
"Right!" scootaloo said before grabbing the branch as I had to hold my ground from the current stream which was now making me feel the weight it previously had.
Sure enough, I heard scootaloo's voice. "All right mister, grab onto me and Applebloom and we'll pull you up now! Quickly!" The two kids offered me a lifeline and I was happy to take it because the water was starting to hurt me. They struggled a bit but both had enough strength to help me up.
When I got up, I layed down soaking wet and Scootaloo was able to stand and Applebloom was taking gasp of air before saying, "as a part of apple farm acres, this work is nothing me." she then turned her attention to both of us. "Please tell me your both Ok?" she asked in a worried tone.
"Just feel a bit weary, that's all." I said
"What about you scootaloo?"
Scootaloo then walked a few steps before saying, "I just hurt my wing that's all." she said put her head down disappointingly while letting out a few tears. Applebloom held her friend and said.
"Get your act together! You want to become a great flyer like Rainbow Dash don't you? Then let's hurry and get you to a doctor right away! Then you can cry all you want." Applebloom shook her friend violently and encouraged her to keep calm.
"...your right Let's get going" she said and started to take a few steps towards ponyville until...
"Hold On! Me and Scootaloo don't even know your name, mister. We gotta to know now." she asked and I was able to hear her accent for the first time since she was always worried when she did talk. I was not undercover or anything but in this world, I have to blend in so I have to introduce myself with the name Luna gave me.
I raised myself up and got to a proper stance. "My name is Weather Buckler, I'm new here."
Applebloom then said to me, "No wonder you look new, well let's get back before.." Suddenly the loud storm roared again, causing all of us to flinch a bit. It had started to rain badly and we needed to go before we caught a cold.
" The town should not be far from here, let's go." I said getting ready to run with the girls but before I took a step, I felt something. I looked down and I saw the two fillies hugging me tightly, then said something to me that I would remember for a long time.
"We just got to thank you again! What you did was super cool." Applebloom said appreciatively.
"Ya ponyville would be happy to have somepony like you." They eventually let go and started to head to our destination. I was surprise that they told me those kind words like that, what I did was something that just happened. I was not looking forward to save anyone or anypony...
But overall, I was glad I didn't fail and to hear those words. While I was jogging I suddenly remembered Things from the show , Applebloom there I think I saw her from the first episode. She was the sister of one of the mane six which explains a lot and Scootaloo knows Rainbow Dash, another of the mane six and is her admirer?
Whatever the case, I was also thinking about why I got the strength in the water. Everything felt so weightless, I would have to ask about that later. We saw the town in our gazes when suddenly we saw something fly over us. " You Guys see that?" I asked while the other two looked around.
"Yeah, we saw. I think I know who it is." said Scootaloo in a sad voice.
"Finally! I've been looking for you two forever." said a voice from over our heads before landing in front of us, it was...
"Rainbow Dash!" said Scootaloo, it was that very pony the one who represented loyalty and I would admit she is a bit off a show off. She acts like most of my teammates would except that she doesn't pick on people and take 2 parking spots. She then looked at Scootaloo and got worried.
"Hey squirt, what happened to your wing?! " she asked while getting closer to her.
"You should have seen it, Rainbow! Scootaloo was trapped by the river and I went to get help, then I found Weather Buckler here who swam to her rescue and-" Applebloom said excitedly but was interrupted.
"Listen! I got to take the squirt to the doctor, you two hurry up and head to the city hall. Most of the ponies can be found there." Rainbow Dash explained to us but then turned her attention to me. "You there, Whatever-your-name-was, thanks a lot for saving Scootaloo." she said and flew away with Scootaloo on her back.
**Rainbow and Scootaloo**
As both of them were headed to the hospital, Scootaloo looked up at her inspiration and said, "I thought I had enough time..."
Rainbow looked at the filly and responded, "what do mean?"
"I was doing a trick to impress Applebloom but then the thunder scared me and i ended up stuck in the river." Scootaloo explained to her ideal. Rainbow had thought that she would be a great flyer someday and hearing what happened, made that thought stronger but still.
"Impressing your friend is not worth hurting your wing ... or your life. I got scared thinking something happened to you guys. Don't do that again, you hear me?" Rainbow said intensely.
Scootaloo chocked on hear words like Rainbow did and just said "ok".
**Ponyville**
I was finally in Ponyville which seemed just like the show except taking a closer look, there was no one around and it was no dryer here than the forest.
"Alright, City Hall should just be around the corner, let's go Buckler." Applebloom said and sure enough, we reached it. As we got to the entrance, I was glad things were over because I was straight out tired Like I had to sleep. I had to fight the urge to stop yawning, when we got to the entrance, Applebloom spoke to me.
"So, is rescuing ponies like your special talent?" I was confused by that question.
"No, I don't think so. Why you ask?" I questioned as Applebloom opened the door to the city hall.
"It seemed like you knew what you were doing." she said to me and sure enough when we entered, I saw many of the ponies who are here taking shelter from the storm.
"Thanks for saying that but, I'm no forest ranger." i told her.
"Excuse me, sir?" a new voice said in my direction as I turned to my left and there was an older pony with glasses speaking to me. I was so sleepy I just responded,
"Yes" still trying not to yawn.
"I am the Mayor of Ponyville, might you be the stallion known as Weather Buckler who saved Scootaloo?" she asked me. _Wow, news travel fast here I guess,_ I thought as I was on the verge of shutting my eyes.
"I cannot express my thanks for your actions today, if there is anything you would like, please ask." she said to me in a proper manner. That was my opportunity, with all my leftover strength, I just had to say,
"Would it be fine to move my sleeping body to a quiet corner please."
Right after those words left my mouth, I fell on the floor and into a deep sleep that had been bugging me ever since the rescue. I then started dreaming of my life long goal.
Author's Note
What could wes's special talent be?
My Body felt warm as I found everything to be normal. When I looked at myself as if my adventures never happened, my human form was back as for my room, house and life.
everything was back.
"I guess I'm done then." I said as I arrived to my front yard. There was a car that belonged to my dad and my house was empty so that was a sign he was not there. I looked at my hand and the keys were right there. "Oh! I guess i am dreaming."
Things were more interesting now. chances were that I was still a pony but right now, I'm dreaming so I might as well enjoy this.
As I drove my dad's car, I came to a stop in front of some random house. All I was doing now was following where my dream takes me. I then saw...HER! A gorgeous woman around 5,8. stepping out, she was blonde and had blue eyes and her face was not smothered with makeup. She then walked toward "my" car and just stepped in. "I think I saw her in a magazine before. " I thought before I took her where I can start having fun.
Some guys would assume I would take advantage of this opportunity and I will say I'm ahead of you. "I have always wanted to do this, in this dream, I'm having dinner with a nice girl." I shouted in some restaurant I made up. Everything looked set up and I was in complete control.
I looked into her eyes and she looked back into mine. After a few seconds, I heard a noise behind me as I looked behind to find nothing there which was bizarre. As I turned around, I expected to see the blonde but instead, I saw a familiar face that scared me. "Princess Luna?! Why are you here!?"
I saw the dark blue mare right where my date was suppose to be. "I did not expect you to be the guy who just wanted a girlfriend." she said to me.
"I am just a simple guy with simple goals." I told her as I was returning to my calm manner.
"I'm sorry we had to separate but there's a lot of things that I have my hooves full with." she said with a smile.
"Well, I'm kind of doing fine in Ponyville, I kind of met Rainbow Dash, I rescued someone and I fell asleep in front of the mayor." Luna was in surprise.
"Oh my, I'm afraid you falling asleep was because of me. I wanted to communicate with you somehow." she told me.
"I think I'll be fine but there still my unanswered questions." I said leaning back on my chair.
"It's more than fair for you to know, one thing that I should tell you is that your exit home is prepared, it will take time though, that's why I mentioned this task will be long." she told me.
"As long as I have one, I'm okay now..." i said
I paused and told Luna about my heroic rescue. "My big question though to you is what's my special talent?" I asked, hoping she knew what I meant.
Luna looked down for a minute and her horn started glowing. "Stay still Wes." I saw my body form into the pony, I could only stare at her hoping this was part of her explanation. "What your good at in Equestria is what you've been good at your life." she said which made me confused.
"Good at life? All I've been doing for the longest is kicking a football." I responded a bit annoyed.
"That's not true Wes, you have been to lots of places and endured the harshest lands." Luna said with a smile. Was she talking about my hiking trips? it's true I've been to a few places but not enough for me to become a man of nature, I thought. Luna noticed my confused expression. "You seem doubtful, have you forgotten what would happen on those occasions?" she asked me.
I realized a few details that were important once she asked. "Whenever I did go to those places like the deserts or mountains I would get tired in less than an hour." I said while looking somewhere else.
"But despite that, you never complained." said Luna.
"How'd you know?" I asked her confusedly.
"Your dreams sometimes carry important memories or ones that you hardly think about." she said. It makes sense that she is in charge of the night and how she put me to sleep, i thought again. I felt like telling her more.
"Well because I hardly spend time with my parents I didn't want a reason for us to stop. I was worried that if I did complain, then they would not take me anywhere anymore."
Luna seemed a bit upset. "But despite all that, they ended up working more and not being around." Luna said.
"Yea, By the time I get back, my attendance and grades will take a toll and my parents might talk to me." I said trying to smile.
"I am sorry I spoke about it." Said the princess.
"Things happen and I chose to come here so it's fine." i said with a smile.
Suddenly, Luna's horn glowed again. "It seems you will be waking up soon, then I must leave again." she said
" If anything happens just vist my dreams again, just not when I'm on a date." I said, making her laugh.
"Wes, one thing you should know is that since you special talent is to endure, that means you don't need as much sleep as other pony's. You need at least three to four hours of sleep, which is good because I need someone to appreciate my night skies." as Luna said that, she vanished.
"If that's true then, I'll be needing to find a lot of hobbies to fill in the time I'm awake."
HR
Like when anyone wakes up, I felt my eyes opening slowly as I breathed in a large amount of air and rolled over the comfortable surface i was in. I then landed on something else. "Its the bag the princess gave me." I said as I tried to grab it but there was a large blanket wrapped around me. I then took a look around at my surroundings and it did not look like a quite corner in the city hall.
Instead, there were balloons, confetti and a banner but I could not tell what it said since it was dark in this room. In fact, almost everything was dark, the only thing I could see was outside since it was lit up by the moonlight that came through a near by window. It seemed like the storm was over as I looked outside.
I took off the blanket I was wrapped in, despite how warm it was and I then noticed something about it and the rest of the supplies I saw. "They're pink..." I said as all of these Balloons and stuff is put by me so when I wake up, a certain pony can welcome me. I could definitely tell who is the owner of this house was.
As much as I would like to meet her now, it would be rude to wake up someone around this time. So I saw a couple of stairs that where a sign of an exit to me. I grabbed my bag and slowly made my way out of here, I only left because I was not sleepy anymore and I felt like grabbing some air.
When I left what seemed to be a bakery I wondered, "How did they carry me here?" i asked myself as I closed the door. I looked at the dark skies above with over hundreds of stars gleaming brightly and even a few shooting stars, I was in awe. I guess this explains what Luna meant. I trotted around the town and saw what the storm left.
There was a lot of debris left near homes and loose wood around the floors, I wanted to see a better perspective of the town so I headed to a hill I was close to.
I made my way up without trouble and saw just as much junk the storm left from here than I did around the streets. I'd figure the pony's would have their hands or hooves full with all this cleaning up so that would means my house would have to wait awhile. I was planning on lying down on the soft grass of this hillside and look at the stars but a light from a distance that caught my attention.
I turned to my left and on a higher level there where few ponies with work hats. I had no idea what i was that they were doing this late at night but whatever it was, it must be important. I wanted to see what they would tell me if I went up there, if they said scram I would leave but this world is nicer so it interested me.
I had to take careful steps around here since there was a lot of gravel around I could have slipped on. I got a better look at the work ponies and they were putting sand bags around. It made sense to me now, the upper part of the hill could cause a mudslide so to stop it they were putting a blockade. One of the pony's noticed me.
"Are... you one of our.. guys? " he asked with a rugged and lazy voice. I noticed this guy was tired actually, they were all tired. I wanted to see if I would pass as one of his co-workers so i said ,
"Yea man, I got a call about helping you guys out and stuff." I said while laughing in my mind.
The pony stared at me for a moment or two before saying," Well there's several bags on that platform, just get one, fill it up and stack it on that pile you see in front." he said before yawning.
It was a bummer that I had to work but it looked like it would take an hour or two and I wanted to do something to pass the time. "I could watch the stars later anyway." I thought as I heard the work pony's voice again.
"I almost...forgot, if you get tired there's a few sweets and coffee on that table just around the platform." he said then left.
I looked just around and there was cake, cookies and a huge pot of coffee. It looked real appetizing and i was going to grab a sweet until...
"You can grab one when were finished!" snapped someone, the voice sounded deep and as I turned I saw a larger pony than me, he was red and had freckles. Was he the boss or something?
"Sorry about that, let's get to work." I said while grabbing a bag with my mouth.
"Your not really a work pony are you?" the red colt said to me. there was no point in lying to him so i said,
" I'm not,I'm just here to pass time." I said as he then nodded his head sideways at me.
"Well, I don't mind the extra help besides I still have to clean up Sweet Apple Acres." he said as that surprised me. That's where Applebloom and she lives, I thought. By the look of this guy, he must be the older brother of the two I'd figure, but why was he here?
"Hey, um, I'm Weather Buckler, what's your name?" i asked politely.
"I'm Big Mac, nice to meet you." he said as he extended his hoof at me. I took his hoof as it was a sign of a handshake and my hoof was completely crushed just kidding... still hurt though.
"Big Mac, I wanted to ask why are you helping here and not on your farm right now?" I asked as Big Mac filled up three bags and placed them on the stack.
"Well, one reason is because my sister is helping out with a lot of the problems left by the storm, so if I help out with some too, she won't overwork herself."
I then asked, "Just how many problems did the storm leave?"
"Far too many to count, partner" said a new voice, I turned around and saw a mare with a cowboy hat. I recognized her immediately as she was the pony that represented honesty out of all the mane six. I was actually envious of her since she was so close to her family, something I would like to have, but I still thought she was a cool character.
"Applejack, why are you here?" Big Mac asked surprised.
"That's my question to you, you should be resting, Sweet Apple Acres won't clean up itself." she said as Big Mac just rolled his eyes. Applejack was going to say more but then saw me. "Hold on, aren't you the pony that saved Scootaloo?" she asked me before Big Mac responded,
"Eeyup."
I'm guessing he knew who I was the whole time, I thought since they are related to Applebloom and she must have bragged about me while I was asleep.
"Partner, Aren't you suppose to be asleep at Sugar Cube Corner?" Applejack asked confusedly
I had to give some explanation to them. "The short story is that I don't sleep that much so I went to get some fresh air and I ended up here" I said before Applejack raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that right now? I guess that means you can help us clean up all this mess." she said while cracking a smile.
I did not like that I was going to be used as a janitor but I did not want to argue. Plus, its not a big deal to me anyway. "Now Big Mac, I know you want to help me but your sister has this under control. It won't be like last time ok?" Applejack asked as Big Mac had a questioning look on him but after a few seconds, he nodded.
"I believe you but I'm in charge of this here job, so you can go help somewhere else while me and Buck finish here ok?" He asked to her. Did he really Just call me buck?
Applejack looked at us then sighed. "Well... ok, I'll leave this up to you two, also Buckler it was nice meeting you and as soon as your done here you should probably go back to Sugar Cube Corner, the last thing you want to do is miss out on that welcoming party." she said and left the working zone. I took her words seriously the rudest thing a guest could do is leave the host's house without saying goodbye.
An entire hour passed by as me and Big Mac were almost finished. "Just a few more bags." i said.
"Eeyup." said Big mac responded back and suddenly we heard something from downhill.
"Can anypony hear me? If you can, I'm stuck in the mud down here, so please help me out!" cried a voice.
"Ah shucks, why can't somepony's learn to take the proper road?" Big Mac said irritated. I then looked at the skies and the sun looked close to rising which meant that I had to hurry helping this guy out before I miss my welcoming party.
