Woodsponies

The next morning, the three lumberjack ponies were already eating breakfast right at sunrise before Mocha Jon woke up. When Mocha Jon did actually wake up… He breathed in and noticed something unusual. When he looked down he was shocked to see what was there… “What the heck?” He asked… However there was a very very mild country inflection in his voice.

The three lumberjacks were sitting down on the couch not far from the room Mocha Jon was sitting in. Naturally they were expecting a huge response but really only Woody seemed to have an expectation for confrontation. The dog itself was rushing over to Big Mac and forced himself right between him and Shining Armor, of whom was getting hit by the dog’s tail cartoonishly.

“Aw someone looks happy to see me, and he doesn’t have something in his pocket!” Big Mac said as he started scratching him on the head. This made him start panting more and then his tail went right up on Shining Armor’s face…

Shining Armor scooted over, lifting himself onto the armrest in order to avoid getting tapped with a tail. “He never gets that excited to see me...:” He whispered They both looked over in curiosity not exactly hearing what he said as Shining blushed a little bit, “Oh, uh, it’s nothing really… it’s just that…” Shining began until they heard the door barged open and Mocha could be seen looking angry.

“Okay pause! Who did this, and I wanna know now!!!” The unicorn yelled as he reached to his back and held up a thing of soiled underwear… “Who put this on my face while I was sleeping!!!” He screamed out angrily.

Shining blushed over again and tried to hide mildly like a student in class who didn’t know the answer to a question. However the other two ponies just looked right at him and pointed right at him selling him out instantly. “Thanks guys…”

Mocha squinted his eyes a little bit and slowly started walking right to Shining Armor who himself was not sure what to do, and Woody didn’t look like he was about to help. As Mocha walked closer to Shining, he began to sound like he was threatening him. “Dude that was a dirty pull… There is one thing I have to say to things like this…” He said as he got face to face with him, still squinting his eyes menacingly. However right when they were eye to eye, he opened his eyes and started laughing hysterically, “Ahahaha!!! Oh my gosh dude that is hilarious!” Suddenly Shining went from looking guilty and embarrassed to confused. “Man you got me! That’s a pretty good prank! I mean I remember doing that to my dad once when I was a colt and he freaked out the next morning! Classic man!” Mocha Jon then offered Shining Armor a fist bump and Shining reluctantly responded too.

Woody regained his signature sinister expression on his face and took notice of Mocha Jon’s mildly increased country accent. “Hey boy, ya sound a little different there, ya alright…?” He asked as he looked right at him.

Mocha Jon seemed to not have noticed at all about it and was even a little bit surprised that somepony else managed to notice before he could, “Really? Lemme see… Well I’m talking and I’m listening to myself and my friend pulled a prank on me by using his old underwear and…” He started rambling to test if his voice was sounding different, “Huh you’re right, must have a dry throat or something, no worries, I always sound off in the morning, I’m sure it will pass.” Woody looked pleasantly relieved that the stallion did not seem concerned about the underwear or his voice.

“You know we were about to get to work, how ‘bout you come and watch us? You said you’ve always wanted to see lumberjacks at work right?” Woody tried to say to change the subject while he had the chance before Mocha could have an opportunity to be disturbed by what had happened to him. The other two ponies nodded and went along with this, the two of them looked like they had no idea what Woody even meant. Mocha Jon himself jumped up and did a cartoonish karate kick out of excitement and rushed over to hug him tightly. “Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!! Yes please! Come on let’s go!” He himself instantly rushed out of the cabin cartoonishly as he left the rest of them in the dust.

The remaining ponies looked dumbfounded by his eagerness to get out there, “Uh, is he alright? I mean if somepony put his underwear on my muzzle I would probably be like…” Big Mac started to comment until Woody tapped his boot three times on the ground again and two two stallions’ eyes started to have their entranced expressions again. “I would be like ‘YEHAW’ now that’s sexy and hot!”

Woody grinned and pointed the stallions out of the cabin, “Come on, I gotta feeling you two are gonna need the extra focus in order to train somepony as stupid as that, grab your boots and axes and come on!” Woody ordered as the other two stallions obeyed, as Big Mac’s leg was feeling better that day he was able to come along. The dog himself also began following and rushed right next to Big Mac, shoving Shining Armor right out of the way onto the ground. “Now go on, I gotta be sure he doesn’t cut his horn off with any of our axes!”

Out in the woods, the stallions were seen handling heavy working tools and setting up the base for a large tree. Woody would be seen handing Big Mac and Shining Armor their axes with no worries, however when Mocha Jon was next in line, Woody seemed reluctant to hand him one, “Now listen, this is not a toy, it can cut right through your bones and can split ya in half, so please be careful with it and…” However Mocha Jon refused to listen to what Woody was warning and swiped the ax right from his hooves.

“Awesome! I’ve always wanted to do this!” He said as he started doing exotic moves with his ax. He was swinging them across his body and twirling them across his arm, “Sweet! I feel like I could take on all of Equestria with this thing!” He said as it ended up flinging from his hoof… Heading right in Shining Armor’s direction. Shining started to yell and ducked in cover putting his hooves over his head and began to panic.

“Ah! I’m gonna die!” He yelled until Big Mac reached over and caught the ax himself. Shining looked a bit embarrassed as he looked up and sighed, “Oh thanks man, I can’t handle that happening two times in one month.”

Woody sighed and put his hoof on his head, “Mocha I told ya be careful! I’t ain’t a toy!” He said as he went over and swiped the axe back. He went back to the tree and signaled Big Mac and Shining Armor over to the tree, “Stinky Boots, you stay down here and watch for falling debris and catch any unexpected critters in the tree, Sweat Stain, you climb up the tree with your harness, make sure there ain’t any obstacles in our pathway.” The two saluted and grabbed their gear and walked over to the tree. He then squinted his eyes at Mocha Jon and lost any sense of humor, “Now listen here, I will show you how to use this, you will follow every step, or you will cut yourself in half, understood?” He said with mild anger.

Mocha Jon rushed over and swiped the ax back, “Yeah I hear you, plus I assume if I was cut in half one half would be eternally sad and the other eternally happy, not a good pair.” He said as he faced the tree with extreme eagerness. “So tell me, what do I gotta do?” He asked as he held the ax like a baseball bat. “By the way, you really gotta think of better nicknames for Big Mac and Shining Armor.”

Woody sighed and adjusted himself into Mocha Jon’s vision sight, “Now you are gonna slowly swing the ax back and you are gonna aim at one specific spot, not takin’ ya eyes off the spot, no matter how heavy or distracting the ax becomes, understand, don’t look away!”

Mocha Jon nodded and gained a smug look on his face as he slowly took the ax into position and aimed right at one spot on the tree. With intense concentration and determination, he found the specific spot on the tree to hit. As he slowly started swinging the ax a few inches back and forth by his head in anticipation and attempts to gain potential and kinetic energy, and when he was fully confident he decided he was ready to swing at the tree. With an even more smug expression on his face, he let out a loud, “TIMBER!!!” to a level where Woody had to shut his eyes and cover his ears in response. When Mocha finally swung at the tree he felt extremely proud and strong and was waiting for the tree to fall down and for his friends to congratulate him. However as soon as he opened his eyes he was shocked to find the ax was only half in inch deep into the two feet diameter tree… “Wait what?”

Suddenly Big Mac and Shining Armor both started laughing hysterically at Mocha Jon’s attempts to cut down the tree. “Oh my goodness, ya actually thought that would be enough to cut down a tree? That’s hilarious!” Big Mac said as he looked up at Shining Armor who cartoonishly fell out of the tree in his laughing fit.

Right after Shining stood back up, he brushed off all the leaves from his clothes and regained his balance, “Dude you’re gonna be chopping that area for a pretty long time, we have no time for breaks, so ya better start chopping so’more bud!” He said as he pointed to his ax that was still stuck in the tree.

Mocha Jon sighed and rolled his eyes, “That’s pretty big talk for a unicorn who couldn’t use his horn to catch a flying ax.” He said as he reached for the ax again, attempting to pull it out, however he could not seem to budge it out, even with him using both hooves, with him grinding his feethooves into the ground, and even jumping onto the tree to gain leverage, but he was unable to get the ax right out of the tree, he couldn’t even move it a centimeter. He eventually fell right off the tree and pushed himself right off it, bumped into the dog, and the two landed right into a bush near by… “Ouch… I’ve fallen and I can’t get up...”

Woody just sighed in annoyance and bumped his head on the tree to express his disappointment in the situation. “Sweat Stain, remind me to up the dosage later tonight, he’s gonna need to fall under deeper if he’s gonna be any good to us.” Shining’s eyes briefly started swirling again as he nodded and saluted in response before the swirls faded away and he went with Big Mac to help him up.

“Come on bud, we still got another 14 hours till we can go home, you need to shake it off!” Big Mac said as he grabbed Mocha’s body by force and plopped him right onto the ground by force.

“Ugh alright... “ He said in annoyance, “Wait, okay pause, 14 hours!?”
