Once John’s group was done with the first hour of work the bell rang for lunch. The cafeteria was so loud that even Applejack had to cover her ears, Jack was pushing Artist who was hunched over covering her ears.

“Too loud,” Artist mumbled.

“Ah, know ah, know, but there ain’t nothin’ ah can do about it” Jack said.

“Hey guys, so what’s for lunch?” Harry who had driven up beside Jack asked.

“Dude, Ah ain’t sure, ok?” Jack said softly.

Harry saw that Artist was really upset.

“Artist, why are you mad?” Harry asked.

“Harry sweetie, now ain’t a good time!” Applejack sighed.

“Is upset?” Artist repeated.

“You are upset,” Jack quickly interjected.

“Jack I think you and I need to have a little chat!” Applejack said pulling Jack out of earshot of Artist.

“About what?” Jack inquired.

“Well it just so happens that Artist isn’t repeating things that was said to her to be mean or anything she is repeating them so she can understand them a bit better,” Applejack explained.

As Jack sat down at one of the tables with Applejack he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Artist had Harry in a tight embrace.

“Are you two coming to eat, or what?” Applejack yelled over her shoulder.

“Coming?” Artist repeated.

“Yes,” Harry answered in his usually slurred speech.

“I will get you your food,” Jack said as Artist and Harry rolled up to the table, Jack got up and went to the food distribution line. A couple minutes later he returned with two trays full of food.

“Here ya go, Artist,” Jack said sweetly setting down the tray.

“What do you say?” Applejack gently inquired.

“You say, thanks?” Artist asked.

“No problem, happy to help, i’m here for you,” Jack said looking down at the ground.

Then he went back to the food distribution line, and got himself and his friend Harry some food, a short while later he returned and sat down.

Artist started to eat, Applejack looked on with approval, and quietly got up to call home and tell them that everything was ok, she got up quietly because she knew once Artist found out she had gone, Artist would be upset and make a scene. A short time later Artist was done eating and looked to her left expecting to see Applejack, what she saw instead was an empty chair.

Artist was wearing a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, her hair was red with streaks of yellow going across it.

“Applejack?” The redheaded girl asked.

Harry was wearing a pair of green pants which looked like they were too tight for him, his eyes were a nice shade of brown, and his hair was also brown.

“I am not sure where she could have gone off to,” The brown haired boy replied.

“Eh, Eh, Applejack,” Artist screeched.

“Shh, please tell me what is wrong,” Jack calming her.

Artist started to rock back-and-forth, not making eye contact with Jack.

“WANT APPLEJACK,” she yelled getting the attention of the entire cafeteria.

“What’s wrong with her can’t she be quiet”, one boy asked to which Jack shot him a displeased look.

Outside of the cafeteria, Applejack was talking to Artist’s mom, when she heard Artist yelling.

“I have to go your daughter is having a meltdown,” Applejack said to Artist’s mother then she hung up the phone and went back into the cafeteria, she went to Artist was sitting.

“Artist, please calm down,” Applejack calming her down.

“Toy?” Artist asked.

“Do you want your toy?” Applejack asked a still fussy Artist.

“Yes,” Artist nodded as she looked at Jack.

“Ok, here you go,” Applejack said as she rummaged through Artist’s bag to find a plush toy of Rainbow Dash, when she found it she gave it Artist who calmed down immediately.

“How did you know that is what she wanted?” Jack inquired.

“When ever it is too loud someplace Artist’s mom will give her the plushy, to calm her down.” Applejack exclaimed.

Jack nodded in understanding and went back to his meal of potatoes and roast beef.

When Jack had finished his meal, he went over to Artist and asked if she would accompany him to the front of the building, to which Artist nodded.

“Harry, you can go upstairs without us this may be a while,” Jack said pulling out his guitar, and going to the front of the building and going outside, Artist and Applejack followed while Harry made his way upstairs.

“Do you like music?” Jack asked Artist once they were outside.

“Like music?” Artist repeated.

“I have something for you,” Jack said as he started playing his guitar, the song he was playing was perfect by Ed Sheeran.

Then he started to sing.

Jack was singing while playing his guitar

Harry who had come back downstairs was standing at the entrance.

“That is so cute,” He swooned.

“I thought you were going upstairs,” Jack said when he had finished playing his guitar.

“Well I was but then I heard beautiful music and I just had to check it out, who knew that you could play the guitar.” The brown haired boy said.

“And that you could sing so beautifully.” Applejack added.

“Well it is my past time but I don’t do it often at work but when I heard that we had a new addition to the workforce I just had to bring my guitar, and it paid off because look what a beautiful girl I’ve attracted,“ Jack said smiling at Artist who by now was blushing like crazy.

“Aww,” Applejack swarmed.

After work was over, Artist and Applejack proceeded to make their way outside when Artist noticed that Jack was really sad.

“Why you have sad? Artist asked Jack.

“It’s a long story best you wait until we get home, i’m coming with you to your home I’ll tell you why when your mother gets here,” Jack sighed.

“To my house” Artist mumbled.

“Yes,” A familiar female voice said to Artist when she looked up Artist saw her mother standing by the car.

“Go home,” Artist said joyfully.

“Well, let’s get this show on the road,” The voice of Rainbow Dash came from the car.

“Auntie,” Artist squeaked. Jack introduced himself to Artist’s mother who was very pleased to get to know him.

Once they all piled into the car they drove away and a couple minutes later they arrived at Artist’s house, the house was very big from the outside but once somebody went inside it was even bigger.

“Wow, this place is amazing,” Jack said walking into the house followed by Rainbow Dash.

“I know, Artist’s father built the house before he passed 10 years ago,” Rainbow said hanging her head at the memory of Artist’s dad.

“Ok,” Jack said.

Jack felt his pant leg being pulled, when he looked down he saw that Artist was pulling on his leg. “Artist remember, use your words, ok?” Ms Sparkle had said earlier to a very fussy Artist.

Her mommy’s words were ringing in Artist’s ears as she kept on pulling on Jack’s leg.

“Jack, go home?” Artist asked. “A’m ain’t sure, ya do understand that, right?” Jack asked.

“Understand that?” Artist who was still clinging to Jack’s leg asked.

“Good, I have to go home soon, ok?” Jack said in his calm voice.

Artist wasn’t having it she threw her self on the floor and screamed. Rainbow Dash, Jack and Pinkie looked on in shock at what was happening.

“Artist, use your words,” Ms Sparkle who had come back into the room said.

“Twilight, I don’t think she’s going to listen to you,” Rainbow said.

“Artist Fire Sparkle stop it this instant,” Twilight bellowed.
