How it starts and how it ends in time.

     "Ow ow ow ow, that stings!" Tyler hissed as he slowly moved and opened his eyes, he then noticed that he was in a barn.

      The first thought that came to him was, "Were, were am I?" then, "How'd this icepack get taped to my shoulder?"and finally, "Frank! I've got to find him! "

      As Tyler slowly stood up, or at least tried to, he began hearing footsteps.  He slowly staggered to hide himself behind a large pile of hay and simply waited as the footsteps got closer, Tyler then noticed that he didn't have his jacket with him and he was left with nothing but his dirty navy blue jeans, black work boots, and his white t-shirt, that was now wet from the ice pack taped over his right shoulder and sweat. The only thing he could do to himself was pinch the bridge of his nose for his stupidity, suddenly he heard a voice.

     "Big Mac, AppleJack, he's not here!" The voice that spoke was female and had a western accent, and when Tyler peeked his head from the pile of hay he noticed that the girl had a mixed color of red and orange eyes, light burgandy hair with a pink blossom esque bow in her hair, and wore a dirty greennshirt with a pair of overalls and brown boots and seemed no older than 12.

     Tyler's hearts began pounding because out of no wear a big man whom wore a red flannel shirt, brown work gloves, dirty jeans and muddy boots came out of no were and nodded towards the little girl. Tyler menatlly told himself that if he ever tried fighting that guy, it would cost him...12 times.

     "Maybe he's behind the hay we keep for the horses?" The little girl said pointing directly at him, this caused Tyler to instantly freeze.

     Another femal voice with the same accent spoke up, "What so ya mean, he could have just ran off ya know Applebloom?"

     "So that's her name." Tyler whispered to himself, then saw a familiar face.

      For the person he saw was the same girl that he met before he passed out, before he could actually move out of the hay to say a shy hello, the ice pack on his right shoulder slipped off, causing a noise that caught the attention of the three. Tyler instantly stood and and froze,  because before he knew it the big man that he believes is name big Mac stood over him, foreshadowing him in his own height. Tyler knew that he was 5,6 but compared to this guy he was midget cause the guy's height was probably 6,4.

      Tyler then makes a awkward smile and says, "Uh, he he....Hi?" Slowly waving his left hand.

     What he got next suprised him, big Mac then smiled and said, "Howdy" and immediately put his poker face back on.

     The girl that was named Applejack then approached him and said, "Ya gotta excuse my big brother, he means well but he often scares newcomers," she then turned and motioned for Tyler to follow, leaving Applebloom pouting because she wanted to talk to him and Big Mac to just have a awkward look on his face.

     "Sorry bout grabbing your bad shoulder partner, I thought you and yer buddy were a bunch of thieves planning on stealing some of the apples in the orchard," She motioned to the orchard that surrounded the barn, "If you're wondering why we ain't suspicious bout the two of you is because your friend explained everything to us."

     This caused Tyler to freeze, Frank told them everything?  The Time War was meant to stay hidden from these people, what would hap- he shook those thoughts off and continued walking along with Applejack.

      "He told you everything?" Tyler questioned Applejack,  she gave him a worried look and sighed,

     "He didn't tell us bout were you two were from, but who yer are, I was wondering if you-,"

Tyler interrupted her saying, " Good, the lest you know of us the better."

Applejack gave Tyler a look but stopped when she saw the look that Tyler held on his face and in his eyes,  the look on his face was of a calm mask, more intense than her brother big Mac's,  but the look in his eyes frightened her, they held multiple emotions, anger, sadness, and grief.

     They continued there walk with silience.

It wasn't until they stopped in front of a small wooden house did Applejack speak again.

"Well here we are, yer friend should be inside eating away at some of my grandma's pies," she opened the door to have her jaw drop because standing before her, was Frank and her grandma both having a pie earing contest.

      Tyler's mask broke and he laughed, causing Applejack to jump, her grandma to stop eating, and to have Frank choke on a bit of what smelled like a apple pie. Frank forced it down and smiled to Apple jack's grandma, and walk up to Tyler. His long dusty coat wasn't on but he was wearing a wite buttoned up shirt, a black tie that now had pie stains, black jeans, and a pair of black boots, he then said, "I'm going to have a chat with my friend in the kitchen be right back."

Grandma only said," Ya better hurry up, these pies aren't gonna finish themselves! "

AppleJack thus began scolding her aboit her age and how sugar can harm her and what not.

Right as they reached the kitchen Frank's smile fell and he then spoke loud enough for only Tyler to hear.

   "Look I know you're upset but-"

   "But what!" Tyler whispered harshly rudely interrupting Frank.

     He then continued,  "We just met these people!" Pointing in the direction were the apple family was, " Frank, you may be centuries older than me, but you still have to understand that they cannot, SHOULD not, know anything about us, what if you let slip of-,"

     Frank interrupted, "Of what we did in the war what we truly are and how we got here I know!" He thsn began wiping the crumbs off of his tie but grimaced when he just ruined it even more.

     He then continued, " You have to learn Tyler, you have to make friends were ever you go so that you can not make any enemies,  you'll learn in a decade or two, now come on we have to introduce ourselves properly."

     Tyler roled his eyes and followed Frank to the kitchen where the whole Apple family was, slowly one by one they introduced themselves to the two friends.

     Big Mac was the first, he stood up from a chair and shook both their hands, nearly breaking Tyler's in the process but had no success with Frank.

      "Ya got a strong arm mister, an sorry bout that I don't know my own strength sometimes, " he walked back and sat back down.

     Next up was Granny Apple, she looked old but she had the best cheerfull personality any one can have.

      "It's nice to see that we have more people in town....good luck," she thenngave the two a wink that made thwm confused on why she said that.

      AppleBloom came running to Tyler shook his good hand and gave him his jacket that was washed, surprising Tyler because it was pitch black from engineering and fixing machines but was now again a medium light blue.

     "Sorry if I sound rude but both if your clothes could go for a washin, you too may not know it but you faintly smell, " She whispered that last part in both their eyes causing them to be embarrassed.

      Lastly AppleJack came up to the two and tipped her stetson hat to both of them, giving Tyler a glare who just returned the favor thsn said.

     "I'd like to welcome y'all to PonyVille, named that way due to many ponkes being wild round here, but to be sure y'all need to meet my friend Pinkie Pie, he he, she'll sure give you two a welcoming party."

      Frank and Tyler then introduced themselves to the Apples,

      Frank whent first, " Hello," he then bowed causing Granny to chuckle, " My name is Frank Thant, I'm gratefull for the way you four have helped us with our injuries from a car crash, we wouldn't have survived if it wasn't fo you all."

     The Apples smile but AppleJack narrowed her eyes in suspicion knowing that something isn't right at all when he lied about a "car crash".

      Tyler went up next, " I'm sorry for having a bad attitude to you AppleJack," This caused her to actually be surprised and relieved some how, " I'm Tyler Feroth and I too am grateful, please if you need any help ask." He then walked back to Frank's side.

     AppleJack lightly blushed after that statement but shook it off, as her family began to depart to do their daily chores she walked to the two friends who were currently sniffing themselves (cringing at their own scent I might add) and then immediately stepped back pinching her nose.

     "Ya need to take a shower the both of ya, y'all can use the shower on the second floor, two doors to the left," She then facepalmed right as she walked into her living room, she knows that theres gonna be some trouble later on just you wait.

     Meanwhile.......

     "Umm Frank?"

     "Yes?"

       "When did you start taking a bath with your tie on?"

    "When are YOU going to take a shower?"

  "..."

"Frank"

     "Yeah?"

   "I can't cause I have to wait for till you get out to allow me to take a shower"

"Crap"
