The hunt for love

I woke up to Applejack moving around next to me. She was still in my arms from last night and she was trying to get out. I leaned in and kissed her on the forhead to have her make sure that I was awake. I opened my arms so she was free. She stood up and started to walk around and stretch her legs. 'How does she not have a hangover from all the cider she drank?' I was sitting there staring at her. I then got up and put on my shirt and shoes. 'Time to go check on Rarity about my clothes and my hat.' "How you feeling Applejack?" "I am feeling really good. Why?" "I'm just shocked that you don't have a hangover." "Oh, cider dosn't do that to you no matter how much you drink. By the way how many ciders did I drink last night?" "Around fifty, Why?" "Just wonderin' if I beat my record and it looks like I did. How many did you drink?" "More than you. After you passed out I drank one more cider and brought you home, but didn't get to the house before I kicked a tree to get some apples." "Wow. You even beat me at a drinkin' contest. Never saw that comin'." I looked into her green, tired eye's and just kissed her. I couldn't hold it back any longer. "So you think Rarity is done with my order?" "Yea, she is quick with work so it should be done." "Ok, do you want to come with me again." "No, I am really far back on collecting apples so I will be working all day." "Wow that sucks. Any way is there a blacksmith or somewhere I can make things with metal at?" "Yea just down the road outta town. Why?" "I'm just gonna make some things to help everypony." And with that we both walked out and went to work.

After an hour of just sitting up on the barn looking for coons, I decided to go help Applejack with hitting tree's. So I left my rifle on the barn and went down the ladder and looked for Applejack. I just had to follow the empty tree's and found her. "What are you doin' here Brian? Aren't you supposed to be huntin' those coons?" "There was no coons around so I decided to come and help you kick tree's." "Well that mighty nice of you, just choose a tree and kick it like you did last night." I walked up to a tree and got into my fighting stance and quickly kicked it. All the apples came out of the tree and all landed in the baskets bellow it. Applejack stood there in awe as she watched me. She then jumped into the tree I kicked and moved around on the branches. "Thats not possible, there is not a single Apple in here." "Surprised Applejack?" She then fell out of the tree, but I cuaght her before she hit the ground. "How many times am I gonna save you from somethin'." I looked at her and kissed her and put her back on the ground. We both started to kick the tree's one by one till we wanted to stop.

I stopped from her wanting me to go to Rarity's to get my stuff before she closes shop. I couldn't just leave her there so I qucikly ran up behind her and picked her up and put her on my back. She was tired anyway and needed a break. "What in tarnation are you doin'?" " I am givin' you a well needed break, Applejack. You desrved it." I then started to walk toward Ponyville. I pulled out two apples and handed one to Applejack. We skipped lunch so we were hungry. I took a bite out of my apple and tasted the flavor going down my throught. She was rapping one of her legs around my neck and leaned in closer and kissed my neck. I blushed at what she was doing and just let her continue. I finished my Apple and took the seeds to plant later. I put the rest into the bag to take care of later and continued my journey to Ponyville.

When we got to Ponyville I quickly ran to Rarity's to get my clothes. I knocked on the door and waited for a reply. "Come in." I walked in and found Rarity working on clothes like it was past due. "You in a rush Rarity?" "No, Why?" "You just look like you were in a hurry for something." "Oh, that's just the way I work." "Oh. Any way I am here for my clothes and hat." "Of course you are." She went into a room and came out with a box with a cowboy hat on it. She opened to box to show me what was inside. There was five pairs of blue jeans and Five sleeveless white shirts. "Thanks Rarity." "No problem Brian." I grabbed the hat and put it on my head and looked at Applejack. She just looked at me and blushed with a smile. "You look even better with a cowboy hat on Brian." I pushed the front of the hat up and kissed her. When our lips seperated I pulled it back down. I grabbed the box and walked out of the house. "Bye Rarity" "See you later Brian." I began to think about what I was going to do next.

We walked around Ponyville to visit everyone and say hi to them and see how they were going. "So Applejack where is the Blacksmith?" She pointed towards a direction and I followed it. Soon we were in front of a building and entered. "Hello?" No one came to the door or to see who came in. "Hey Applejack, anypony work here?" "Actually no nopony works here." 'wow no one works here shocker.' I grabbed some metal and started to melt it over the fire and began to make molds for the thing I was going to make. "So Brian what are you going to make?" "Something me and my dad planned on making when he got out of the army. He came back from the army for break to visit his family and during that he showed me how to make weapons. We planned on making our own kind of sniper rifle, we made the plans and everything and I kept the plans with me where ever I go to remember to make it later. Also I am going to make a standard machine gun to take out multiple enemy's if needed to." "Wow, your dad really loved you didn't he." "Yea, my mother left us when I was only three years old and never came back. So my dad moved to the country to make a living by farming but soon he joined the army. I was able to take care of myself by then and tended to the crops and took care of the cattle and everything. I went for a jog around the farm, imagining my father next to me running with me. We did it every morning to start it off. But when he went to the army all of that changed and I felt lonely. I kept looking at the pistol he gave me with his name on it and I would remember him and feel like he was with me. When he came back from his break he told me what it was like and told me how to make any weapon if I wanted to. After the break he went back to the army. After two months of being gone, I got a letter. He was killed by the enemy while he was trying to defend our country." A tear came down my cheek after saying that and went back to making the guns. First I made the assualt rifle since it was easy to make the parts since I have done it plenty of times.

After finishing the gun I brought it outside while the metal was heating up and went to a clearing. I wanted to test it and make sure it worked. I got some hay and made a stack with it and put a target in the middle. I got around fifty feet away to test my accuracy. I put it on semi-automatic and aimed. I took my time and looked at the target. I shot a bullet and hit the middle of the target. 'BULLSEYE' I shot a couple more bullets to make sure it wasn't luck. Good thing it wasn't and I went back into the shop. The metal had been melted by the time I walked back in. I pulled out the plans for the rifle and looked at them carfully. I made the mold and poured the melted metal into it. I grabed some glass to make a variable zoom scope to help with the accuracy with this weapon.

After finishing the scope and making the rifle, I walked outside and aimed at a new target. I got so far away from the target that you could fit a football feild between me and the target. I zoomed in the scope and aimed at the center of the target. I took my time again and shot the rifle at it. Since I made and put some springs in the stock of the weapon it did no damage to my shoulder. I grabbed my binoculars and looked at the target, again like the last weapon, it hit the middle. 'ANOTHER BULLSEYE' I shot the rest of the clip to check and they all hit the middle of the target. I picked up my new weapons and went towards Applejack. I made staps for the guns and put them on my back. I got next to Applejack who was in awe at what I had created. I picked her up in my arms and kissed her to knock her out of it. She then shook her head and looked at me. "Wow, that will come in real handy against an enemy. I would sure hate to be the enemy." I looked at her with a smile and started to walk towards the house with her in my arms.

When we got back to the house it was about time for supper. I walked into my room and set my weapons down next to my bed besides my pistol. I then walked to the table and started to eat. Me and Applejack were the last one's to start eating so we were the last one's to finish. In the middle of cleaning my plate I heard something that stopped my in my tracks. I heard my rifle go off. I quickly ran to my room to find a hole in the roof and Applebloom laying on the floor covering her ears from the loud noise. I nelt down next to Applebloom when she opened her eyes. "Um . . . was it supposed to do that?" She didn't even notice I was right there. So for touching my gun for a little payback I put my mouth right next to her ear. "BOO!" She screamed and turned around to find me laughing my head off. "Was that thing supposed to do that?" "Heh heh, yea it was supposed to do that. Don't touch this or that *Points at assualt rifle* ever again ok." "Ok I won't touch these things again in my life. I have a feeling that I don't want to anyway." After that she ran out of my room. I looked at the roof and then back to my gun. I put it back on safety and checked the barrel incase anything fell into it.

After checking all the stuff on both of the guns, I went to take a shower. As I got out I found Applejack laying down on the bed smilling at me. I got in the bed and pulled her close. "So I guess you will be having good dreams tonight with me right next to you holding you." "I guess I will." And with that she kissed me and nuzzled my neck and fell asleep. I looked at her and then smiled and went to sleep.
