//-------------------------------------------------------// The Smell of Apples -by TwisterWinds- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Hiring a farm hand. //-------------------------------------------------------// Hiring a farm hand. Apples, I could never get tired of that smell. Especially when it's turned into a hard cider, but at the moment, I wasn't smelling either of those smell of apples, no, currently the smell of an Apple was filling my nose. She was naked, wet, and had her hat in her teeth giving me bedroom eyes. Perhaps it was because she was in heat, perhaps it was because we both where drunk. I could go on and on, but currently the orange mare with the blonde hair and the green eyes I'd do anything for was pushing me against a wall and her lips to mine. Now you may ask how did my life get to this point. Well it all started when.... "Hey -----! What do you think about this?" David asked me as we sat at the bar that was a down the street from our apartment. We both where glued to the news for the past week as portals started opening up around the world. Even more so once the two beings who call themselves alicorns showed up, and called all world leaders together and worked out a deal that'd allow humans to cross over to Equestria and ponies to Earth. This was decided by lottery, and I was one of the first few lucky ones to cross over. The ponies looked human enough, mostly humanoid aside from ears, tails, fur and very short muzzles. Rather good looking once you get use to them. Most of them are perfectly fit, even this pink one that eats candy and sweets like its water, but considering how much she moves there is no way there is an ounce of fat on her, aside from her seemingly ungodly large breast. Anyway, I was given a small one bedroom house, it had a shop underneath which I converted into a wood working shop to make some money. It also had a garage which I converted into a mechanic shop, since cars where part of the trade deal. One day an orange mare walked in dress in short shorts, a plaid shirt and cowboy hat walked in. Think daisy duke, with a tail and orange fur. I was working on a car, thus my face and hands where covered in grease and oil, and hearing a chime of a bell I walked into the store and looked at the mare which I recognized from a party Pinkie Pie through for me. "One moment miss applejack." I said as I walked over to the sink and used Gods gift to craftsmen, gojo. Easily cleaning myself of the oil and grease. I could have sworn I heard a giggle, but shrugged it off as nothing. "What can I do you for miss?" I asked as I walked up next to her and leaned against my counter. "Well I could use some new crates and for mag apples and mah families cider. Think you could make some?" She asked as she leaned against the other side of the counter. "And ah kinda need a farm hand. Do ya think ya could help out for a day or two, ya see mah brother Big Mac hurt himself." "Again? What did he do this time." I asked with both a smirk and a shake of my head. "He fell outta a tree while pick'n a big apple" she said holding her hands out in front of her chest to which I raised my eyebrow and the farm mare blushed and moved her hands closer. Still not buying it I took both of her hands in mine, which were a lot bigger and rougher then the farm mares, and moved them closer together. "Yeah about that, but it was a perfect apple for Apple family cider." "Alright, in exchange for the barrels, crates and work, I'll charge just one barrels worth of cider, bottles and boxed. For my personal consumption of corse." I said putting a finger to my chin. "How many barrels and crates" I asked while looking into her green eyes as the mares tail flicked side to side. Applejack thought to herself. "Ah need bout five each" she said smiling at me. "Mmhm, now second question. Do you have two apple trees that I can cut down for their wood, trust me, using different wood will ruin the taste." I said looking over to the clock on the wall. "I think we can manage that" she said as she stood up "when do you think you could start?" "Now, since I was just working on my truck. I'll be over in a few." After that she left and headed on home as I finished up the last few things on my truck. Putting my axe and a shovel in the bed of my truck along grabbing my belt with two canteens and drove over. Driving up and parking in front of the Apple house I was instantly assaulted by a little fluff ball which I couldn't help but lean down and scratch her ear. "Hi there Winona." I said smiling. Applejack walked out as Winona ran back in as an elderly voice called out for Winona, only to appear in the door way. "Well he is a cutie AJ. He your new beau?" Granny Smith said looking at AJ. "Granny!" Applejack said blushing, "it's not like that, I just hired him on to make some barrels and crates and help pick some apples." I chuckled and looked over my shoulder and saw three young fillies running around the barn. Stopping in there tracks as they saw me. Causing my blood to run cold. One lifted her skirt just enough to show they had their cutie marks. "Oh thank god." I sighed "the human catchers are no more" looking up both AJ and Granny Smith both gave me a confused look. "Long story" AJ looked over to her sister then put her hands up "I don't want to know, any way, let me show you where the trees are." She said getting in my truck and I did the same. After a short drive AJ showed me the trees I could cut down. "Mmhm, alright, just need a few." I said before I started cutting down one of the trees. Having cut down both trees I took off my shirt and whipped off sweat as I started to cut the wood to length. Looking around I felt as though I was being watched, though I didn't see anyone, I indeed was. Soon the sun had set, and I was invited to dinner, after which I assembled the promised goods. And was invited to stay the night since I drank about five cups of cider. Walking into the barn where I plained on just sleeping in the hayloft I was frozen when the moon light fell on the naked orange mare in front of me, her tail lifted and her body sweaty and her hat in her teeth. Apples, man I love the smell of apples.
