Applelove And Respect

After an excruciating chase leading to the desert, Pumpkin hid by one of the cactus to get away from Soursore. He was expecting the police to make it by now, hoping that Pear made the phone call. Unfortunately, one of the lackeys tried to shoot him on sight.

“Get back here, you coward!” they yelled.

Pumpkin continued to give them the slip, passing by poisonous snakes. Luckily, he wasn't even bit from them at all. Aside of that, he had no choice but to give more time for the citizens at the hotel, so he tried his best to not get bitten from the snakes. Of course, he may be in a situation like this, but hopefully it will be the last one he’d ever have.

After five minutes of running, he ran by the other side of the hotel and stopped until he couldn't run anymore. It wasn't long before Soursore and his gang caught the innocent and broken cowboy, guns pointed at him.

Soursore walked by his lackeys and grabbed his shirt. “You lousy-loosin, waste of spacin, son of a bitch! You thought you could fuck me up the pooter and get away with it? Huh?”

Soursore then pushed Pumpkin onto the wall. “Well, think again, little bitch! Nobody, and I mean Nobody, fucks with the bad boys, especially a piece of shit like you!

Soursore then ordered the gang to load up their guns and aim at Pumpkin. “Reunite him with his pussyfootin’ cunt-soft folks in hell. Give them my regards, kid…”

Pumpkin’s life flashed before his eyes, only to have it be his last in less than ten seconds. Tears came down onto his face, and fear surrounded his body. He has now become a sitting target on the verge of death - no way out, nothing to live for, after all he has tried.

“Pray like a little bitch all you want, you worthless cunt. You ain't gettin’ out alive…” Soursore spoke with terror as the gang’s fingers were on the triggers.

Suddenly, sounds of horses’ hooves approached. Riding them were several chiefs of police and deputies surrounded the gang, much to Soursore’s dismay. Pumpkin saw it all with a smile, looking up to the sky and silently thanking them before going on his hands and knees, breathing heavily before fainting to the ground.

“Freeze!” the police demanded. Soursore was outnumbered by the police, thus being forced to give up. He and the accomplices put their guns down, while other police officers picked up Pumpkin and carried him, away from the criminals.

By the time Pumpkin woke up, he saw that the police were taking the citizens out of the abandoned hotel and started carrying them back to Appleloosa. It was then he saw Pear, who was talking with the police.

“Pear?” he said to himself.

Pear saw that Pumpkin was harshly fatigued before turning to the police. “Thanks for helping. There's probably a basement with citizens, you should really help them.”

“Thanks ma’am.” The police tipped his hat before making his way to the basement. Pear turned to Pumpkin, relieved that he was still alive, and that his suicide plan carried a full-fledged miracle.

“Pear, I thought the police was going to be here after I-” he was cut off by Pear, who hugged him with tears.

“Don’t say that. You don’t deserve to have your life end like this. I had to call the police earlier.”

Bright Mac chimed in. “No one has ever saved anyone from Soursore for a long time, and they'd feel upset if they find out that you're dead. Your family may be gone forever, but we want to give you something in return after you saved us.”

Pear Butter put her hand onto Pumpkin’s shoulder. “Your life will be way better with her if she knows about this.”

“You should really tell her everything.” Bright suggested. He and Pear hugged him, thanking him for saving both their lives, along with everyone else's.

Suddenly, Applejack, Braeburn and Granny Smith parked their car in the parking lot of the hotel. “Come on guys, our family might be alive!”

She and her family headed straight to the front door of the hotel. Once Applejack saw that her brother and sister were sitting on the couches and still alive, she ran towards them.

“Applebloom! Big Mac!” she happily shouted.

“Applejack!” both Applebloom and Big Mac shouted as they hugged Applejack.

“Oh my gosh! I thought I would never see you two again!” She cried.

“I know! This may have been the worst moment in our vacation, and we’re not even half way down.” Applebloom commented.

“I don’t know what will of happen if we stayed here forever. I love our family’s vacation, and I assure ya, we’re gonna have a great family reunion.”

“Wait! You mean that my-” Applejack paused when she saw familiar faces by the bar with Pumpkin. Big Mac nodded his head in his response that Applejack’s parents are here, alive and well. Applejack let go of the hug and quickly ran up to them, still in tears of joy that her vacation is back to normal.

“Mom! Dad!” she called. Pear and Bright eyes went wide after hearing a sweet and charming voice they knees too well. They turned around and saw their growing and loving cowgirl for the first time since they left her.

“Applejack?” They both uttered in surprise. Applejack smiled as she ran and gave a big hug to her parents.

“I missed you so much!!” She hugged them back.

“Oh Applejack, you're the best daughter who loves us more than we know!” Pear cried happily.

“Man, it feels like you're born again.” Bright commented.

“Did someone know where you were?” Applejack asked.

“This young man has found us, and did the most daring he had ever done to save us.” Pear Butter answered before pointing to Pumpkin. Applejack recognized him and came to him with a hug.

“I couldn't believe you'd go through all that trouble, and I never thought you'd do what you had to do just to impress me…” Applejack uttered with a tear in eye.

“I didn't wanna impress you. Not after meeting your family after all this...” Pumpkin replied.

Applejack let out a giggle of relief, then let go of the hug. Not knowing what to do next after she was told that he saved her kin. Now, she was willing to pay her respects to Pumpkin.

“Hey, wanna come with me to my family reunion? I think it’d be sweet if you do.”

Pumpkin felt halfway nervous, but he doesn’t want to disappoint her offer. “Okay, I’ll come.”

Applejack then hugged him more while other family members joined in the hug. Applejack’s life has become better than ever, and her family was relieved back together and it was all because of Pumpkin Sweet.
