Well...this is complicated

Aj grows a confused expression, her ears folding down as she frowns, "Well to reply to your question pardner, I really don't know how our relationship is gonna work out." She admits with a giggle.

Chris grew a frown of his own and hums, "That is very worrying....Do you think it'll ever go good?" he asked in concern.

"Well for one, You have to meet mah brother and mah family, And then there is also the problem of other ponies looking at us in disgust or think i've gone crazy." AJ admits with a sigh, frowning softly.

She looks at Chris with caring eyes and nuzzles him again, "I promise to do my best to help get you comfortable in a relationship with me." She promises with a smile.

Chris just stands up, as Aj sits up beside him. "I am just happy if you try Aj. That's all that matters," Chris says, waving his hand like it was no problem, and yawns softly.

"So, what time is it?" Chris asked, laying back on his couch and sighing.

"It's 10 AM pardner," Aj replies with a giggle.

"10 Am? Don't you have to go and do some work at this time?" Chris asked in worry with a frown.

Aj nuzzles his arm gently and smiles, "Not yet. That's in another hour or so. Besides...my brother can handle the whole orchard himself if he wanted tah." She says with an amused tone.

"I can believe that. Your brother is...quite a strong looking pony, the last time i saw him." Chris admits with an awkward laugh, "Would really not like to be on his bad side." he admits with a soft frown.

Aj smiles, "Don't worry Chris, You won't. Mah brother is the kindest, and caring pony i know! You two will get along just fine!"

Chris sighs with a slow nod, "I sure hope so," He admits in worry, giving a light gulp.

~~~~~~~~~

After a few minutes of composing himself, Chris was now standing back up, and breathing in and out slowly with a nod.

Aj held the door with her hoof, smiling gently.

"You ready to head back out pardner?" Aj asked hopefully, as she giggles.

Chris looks at the door, and slowly nods, "Yes...I am ready to see the outside. Once again," he replies with a soft smile.

Aj opens the door and they both head out and then he looked out to be in awe of Ponyville once more, just feeling himself be outside again felt so great and better.

"So....you ready to head to mah home pardner?" Aj asked with a sheepish smile, "Maybe meet my brother? And others? Cause..there are others who missed you."

After Chris heard this saying from Aj, He halts and sees that all the ponies were looking at him. Feeling put in spot he gulps lightly.

"I am not looking forward to this..." Chris admits, as all the ponies looking at him gave different expressions.

Some looked at him with disgust, others looked at him in worry and concern, and Chris just felt so...awkward from all the stares.

"Let's get goin before ya faint Chris." Aj says, growing a sly smile as she rolls her eyes amusedly.

Chris just nods slowly, looking ready to faint as it is, as he then began walking with Aj forward. Going into Ponyville once more. He tries to not look at anypony, being quiet and walking alongside with Aj.

The ponies all around him were whispering certain things about him.

"He looks different." "Why is he so scary looking?" "I never seen him get out of his house for so long!" "He should've stayed in his house and left us alone!"

The things these ponies were saying were hurting Chris a bit, it was very aggravating and insulting.

"Your doin well so far pardner," Aj whispers to Chris with a wink, smiling gently at him.

Chris grew a light blush from her smile. Aj's smile was just so cute!

WHY ARE THESE PONIES ALWAYS SO FREAKIN CUTE?! Chris thought loudly, always wondering just HOW these ponies got to be so cute.

Chris just coughed awkwardly, hearing ponies all around him whisper and converse about him.

A few minutes later.~

After that horrible debate of having to walk through Ponyville, Chris was sweating like a bullet as he pants.

"Hey, hey. It's okay pardner, we got through and your safe," Aj says, trying to coax Chris with a pat to his back.

Chris nods with a sheepish smile, "Yeah, I got it...Thanks Aj."

Aj smiles widely at his thanks, and then they continue their walk.

Chris and Aj then came up to Sweet Apple Acres. Chris looked down at the door entrance and rubs his chin softly.

"The last time i was here...was that party Pinkie threw for me first coming here. What was it called again...?" Chris mused to himself curiously.

" oh you mean the "I MADE A NEW FRIEND WHOS NOT A PONY AND NEW TO PONYVILLE!" party?" Aj asked, chuckling softly as she tried mimicking Pinkie's high pitched tone from when she yelled it.

Chris laughs softly and nods, "Yeah...That party. That was a nice party, very boring but i got to know you and your friends a bit so...it was good."

"just that the party was kinda ruined once Celestia, the princess herself asked us to keep an eye on ya. To make sure you don't do anything well..suspicious," AJ says, sighing and lowering her head with a frown.

"Well, your just protecting your home world from danger. I understand needing to be cautious about someone new. But still..." Chris trails off, and raises an eyebrow, "Look at me. What can i do to hurt anypony? I'm practically harmless..."

Aj chuckles, and nods with a smile, "Ya sure are pardner...ya sure are,' She fondly admits, her eyes lingering on him.

Chris blushes from her staring at him for quite...a while.

"Uh Aj? You alright?" Chris asked with a shy smile.

Aj snaps out of her stoop and blushes lightly, her freckles showing a bright red, "Y-yes! i'm fine pardner don't worry!" she says with an awkward laugh, smiling sheepishly.

Chris didn't know why, but d just looked SO CUTE!

he let it off his mind and smiles with a nod, "Of course Aj. It's okay."

Aj nods in appreciation from his statement, and they head inside Sweet Apple Acres.

Chris looks around Sweet Apple Acres. Just sinking in the feeling of being here once more.

The big huge red barn, the old wood looking house, a HUGE orchard in the background right behind the barn, just to show how big they're work time really is. Chris still felt bad having Aj not going home earlier to come her and help her brother.

Aj widens her eyes, "Oh yeah! Ya didn't meet mah brother last time when that party happened did ya? Let me introduce you to my brother Chris!" She exclaims happily with a smile.

This was it. The moment of truth. Chris gulps as he walks with an excited Aj who was practically skipping in her trot.

He saw the big tall strong red stallion up ahead. and he felt his heart race in terror as he was legit scared of what would happen if this goes the wrong way.

Aj comes up to him and smiles, "Big Mac? Meet mah friend Chris!" She exclaims to her big brother happily.

The big stallion chewing her hay looks at Chris, his blue eyes staring at him with no reaction.

Chris feebly puts a hand up and waves, "Hi...."

Big mac looks at Chris, chewing his hay and slowly nodding, "Eeyup..."

Chris was boned.

So...How is this gonna work?

Last night was very emotional, and a very long day for this man named Chris. The boy who was now on a couch, eyes shut and cuddling with a small cute orange pony.

Chris could still not get over just how silly this seemed, just last night he wanted to make himself off Equestria, and was saved by a colorful pastel pony named Applejack. Sadly, He still did not think things would change as ponies still found him very strange and very scary to be around. Ponies in Ponyville, the place he lived in thanks to the Mane 6 helping him live here, is a very awkward and strange place to live at. Chris being a bipedal creature who is innocent and not dangerous, did not make Ponyville flinch from what the Mane 6 said.

What with how this country was almost destroyed by a dark alicorn named Nightmare Moon, and some strange creature named Discord. Supposedly this Discord person was reformed, but Chris still has not met this person or anything of the sorts. All he knows is that it takes a long time to make trust with other ponies around him.

Chris heard a yawn, and knew that Applejack, the orange pony whom was cuddling with him was starting to wake up. This orange pony, was now the reason why he even decided to continue experiencing life here on Equestria.

He was gonna try, For her. He was gonna try for only Applejack and no-pony else around him.

He opens his eyes and sees her just laying there on him, having a smile on her face.

Chris's eyes look at Aj's, the bright wide green eyes looking at him with trust and love.

"Good mornin Pardner. Did you have a good night's sleep?" Aj asked with a soft smile, nuzzling him lightly.

"I did have a good's night sleep yeah, It was great," Chris replied with a chuckle, growing a light blush from Aj's nuzzle.

"Ahm happy you had a good time sleeping. Was I a good teddy bear for you?" Aj jokes with a chuckle.

Chris laughs softly at her joke, and nods with a light smile, "Oh trust me, Your very cuddly. Way more cuddly then a teddy bear." He admits, making Aj grow a blush of her own.

"O-oh why thanks pardner." Aj says sheepishly with a light smile, "So erm...what plans do you have for today?"

"My plans for today?" Chris repeats as Aj nods, "Hmmm....To admit, I have a question to ask you."

"Shoot pardner," Aj replies with a giggle, her tail waggling softly in comfort.

"How is our relationship gonna work?" Chris asked awkwardly with a light blush.
