Chapter 4 : First day in Equestria

"Come on Zack, keep it up !" I was working since noon and it's much harder than it looks. AJ was kicking the tree, picks up the apples puts them in baskets. I pick up the baskets, put them in a cart and bring it to the farm. Seems simple enough right ? I thought that too. 'I'm starting to think that it was a bad idea. At least, with AJ, it's easier and I can admire her beautiful face, her magnificient green eyes and...'

"Zack, why are you starin' like that ? You're starting to creep me out..." I facepalmed and replied

"Sorry AJ..." She replies:
"Is something troubling you ?
-No, it's fine we should get back to work..." We get back to work in silence 'Great job, you idiot ! Now it's awkward !'

After two hours, we finish. 'Thank god... I'm exhausted... But at least it's done...'

"Great job Zack, you did well !
-Thanks AJ, I couldn't have it done without you.
-Oh I'm sure you could have... Anyways ! You're dismissed !" I thank her and go towards the house, go up the stairs and knock on the door of Applebloom's room.

"Coming !" She opens the door "Oh hello Zack ! You're here to bring me to school ?
-Eeyup ! Ready ?
-Yeah let's go !" She picks up her backpack and we go.

"So, Applebloom, do you know the way to school ?
-Of course I do !
-Lead the way then !" We walk for a few minutes, I get a few looks from the other ponies but I don't really care

"Applebloom, why exactly did you want me to walk you to school ?
-Because I want to show to my friends ! And also because it's closer to Rarity's shop...
-Your friends ?
-Yeah ! With Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, or CMC for short.
-I'll maybe sound stupid but... what is a cutie mark ?
-It's okay if you don't know. A cutie mark is a mark that appears on our flanks whenever we discover our purpose in life. It's usually a representation of our talent. To show it we put it on our clothes, you probably seen it for example with Big Mac on his belt. We the CMC are a club dedicated to finding our cutie marks !
-That's very useful ! In our world we have to find it ourselves, it doesn't always go well...
-Huh..." We then arrived at the school where I saw two fillies: a white unicorn with pink and light pink mane and an orange pegasus with a purple mane accompanied by... Rainbow Dash ?! Applebloom spoke up

"Howdy Scoots ! Sweetie Belle !" Both fillies run towards her and Sweetie asks

"Hi Applebloom ! Do you got someone for the show and tell ?" Applebloom's eyes widen as she states in shock

"Oh no, I forgot !" She turns towards me and says "Could you help me with something ?
-Sure ! What is it ?
-We present someone to the class and it's my turn but I completely forgot to bring someone ! Can you help me with it ?" I have a small moment of thinking then I reply

"Sure, when do you have to do it ?
-After lunch...
-I'm fine with it." The bell rings and she runs towards the school with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Thanks Zack, see you at lunch !" I wave goodbye as she gets into the school. I then turn to RD.

"Hello RD ! What are you doing here ?
-Howdy Zack. I need to go to Rarity's shop so she can stitch up one of my clothes. I ripped it against a branch...
-Can I go with you ? I don't know the way and I need to get new clothes...
-Sure !" RD and I continued walking for a moment until she decided to start up the conversation.

-So how was your first night and morning ?
-Oh, it went fine...
-Do you got to talk with your crush?
-Please... It's already really embarrassing as is with what happened..." She looks at me, seemingly confused

"What do you mean ?" 'Oh shoot...' I reply as fast as I can.

"Nothing ! Absolutely nothing !
-Yeah... You look like you have something to confess... Anyways, here we are." The boutique was in front of us. RD ringed at the bell and Rarity welcomes us:

"Good morning darlings ! Enter please !" We enter and I see this enormous room filled with dresses, T-shirts, mannequins (human/pony sized) for male and female. They're everywhere ! I can't even begin to count the number of them ! The shock passes and Rarity makes us enter a small room right next to it: it's a small room with a sewing machine and lots of fabric of different colours.

"So ? What do you want ?" Rainbow answers first.
-Oh I was wondering if you could stitch back this sweater." She shows the red sweater and Rarity replied. "Oh, of course darling ! Come back tonight and it'll be as good as new !
-Thanks !" Rainbow says as she leaves.

"So Zack ? Let's begin !
-Yeah sure !"
-Okay, just give me a second to go fetch my material." She goes through another door and comes back. She starts mesuring and we begin to discuss. About her job, my planet and we then talk about last night:
"How did last night went, Zack ?" I cringe a bit remembering that stupid dream. I respond, flustered

"It was fine, AJ's family was really welcoming to me and i even begun working !
-And how do you find AJ ?" I raise my eyebrow, a bit confused "I mean, was she friendly, you see darlin' she can be a bit, how do you say... lacking manners...
-No it was really good, she's kind, generous, humourous, and *happy sigh* beautiful..." I realize what I said and continue "I mean, all the guys must find her beautiful right ?" Rarity looks at me with a smirk 'I don't know why but I don't like that smirk...' She finishes, I go eat and I head to school...
