Applejack pov

I sat on the porch watching Mac and Jack fixing up the fence.

“Hey, sis why aren’t you helping?”

Looking down I saw Bloom looking back up at me. “I’ve got food cooking and the two of them chased me off when I tried to help them. I’m glad though Mac hasn’t had a friend to do things with for a long time. Plus the bits he gave us have made it so we don’t worry for years or have to take out more loans.”

“So, can we go and see family more often now?’

With a smile, I roughed up her mane as she laughed. “Sure sugar cube but, it will have to wait for the harvest season to end before we do anything. We still need to make bits even with the bits Jack gave to us. Nither I or Mac don’t want it to mess with it instead we want to put the bits in a safe mutual fund to make sure it lasts.”

“I guess that’s the right thing to do.”

She smiled as she turned then walked back into the house then I looked back and saw that they had stopped drinking from lads in a bucket neck to the fence post they had just fixed new wood too. I smiled as I looked at Jack and saw the scar over his chest was mostly covered but his chest fluff. They finished then they grabbed their shirts and Jack grabbed his hat off the post behind him. They started to walk over to me and Jack leaned down and kissed my cheek before walking into the house. I followed as they walked onto the kitchen and washed their hands as I took my apple pie out of the oven as Jack took the vegetable stew off the stove and set it on a wooden block he’d carved in the shape of an apple he made so the table wouldn’t burn. We sat down and said thanks then we made our plates.

“Jack, can I ask a favor?”

We all looked at Applebloom and he nodded as he chewed on a large piece of carrot.

“Well, Miss Cheerilee was asking if you can help fix up some of the stuff around the school. The desk needs to be sanded and some of the roof shingles need to be replaced.”

Jack smiled then nodded as he spoke in his slow and calm way.

“Sure, I’ll go with you tomorrow morning.”

Bloom smiled as she did a little dance in her seat making us laugh. I looked between Jack and Mac as they seemed to be talking with their eyes again. I rolled my eyes then jack spoke up again.

“Say, hun would you like to go out tomorrow night?”

I smiled as I looked at him then Mac punched his shoulder a smile on his face. Jack punched back a smile on his face. “Sure what were you think of this time?”

“I heard a movie I think she called it the night of nightmare moon is playing in the town hall.”

I smiled as I looked at him then nodded as I chewed on a white potato.

Jack pov

After dinner Applejack and I walked out to our room and I waited outside of the room while she grabbed clothes for a showed. I walked in when she walked over to the restroom to clean up after the day. I sat down on the bed then grabbed the book I kept on the nightstand opening to the page I left off on. I read about ten minutes then I started a new chapter. ‘Hm, heat?’ I started to read more and stopped then I when I read that mare go into heat at the beginning of spring and the end of fall. I looked at the calendar and saw that the heat was a month away. I looked back at the book then quickly closed it then put it back and sighed as I walked over to my side of the dresser and pulled out another shirt some underwear and a pair of shorts. I had taken a liking to in sleep while wearing shorts rather than the sweat pants Rarity was nice enough to make for me. I heard the door open and I looked back and saw Applejack with a towel tied around her chest with a towel on her head.

“Your turn Jack.”

I nodded then I grabbed my stuff then walked out of the room. I walked into the restroom then closed and locked the door and caught the scent of apples in the air but there was something else I didn’t know. ‘This is a strange but somewhat nice smell.’ I walked over to the shower and turned it on the water flew out steam quickly following it. I smiled then undressed and got in and the scent was even stronger in the shower. ‘What is that?’ I sniffed around then looked around and saw a washrag threw outside of the shower in the corner you wouldn’t notice if you looked straight ahead. I reached down and took a quick sniff of the rag. It was like I was punched by the smell as the rag was covered in it. It was strong and my body shock and I looked down at the rag. Then I felt a part of my body reacting to the scent. I looked down at my crotch and saw my shaft coming out of my sheath. I was shocked at the size as it grew out more than two feet out with two inches wide. ‘Good God!’ I turned the water to cold and it quickly went back into my body as the water froze my body. I shook my head then I out of dried my body then got dressed quickly.

“Knock knock!”

I looked at the door then heard Applebloom’s voice.

“Come on Jack I still need to get in!”

I walked out with the towel around my neck as I walked back to the room. I knocked on the door and Applejack yelled I was good to come in. I walked in and saw she was in a short t-shirt or so tight shorts on showing off her wide him. Applejack was not I'mall mare that was for sure but a bit of worry did slip into my mind about what I just saw.

"Jack are you ok?"are you ok?”

I nodded as I looked at her then sat down on the bed my wings ruffled as I sat and looked over at my old coat and gun belt. Both my old friends gathering dust for the last few days. “Just thinking over a few things is all.” I laid down and pulled the covers over us and Applejack moved closer to me. I smiled as I turned then hugged her to my chest wrapping my wing around her.

“Night Jack.”

“Night Hun.”

I reached back over and turned off the light as the sun finally set. Applejack laid her head on my chest and after a few minutes, her breathing had slowed. I smiled as I held her into my chest then I closed my eyes as I held her in my arms.

I opened my eyes and saw I was on the side of a river still in my alicorn body. I sighed then looked around and saw I was at a campsite. I smiled then walked over a fire that was already burning. I threw a few pieces of wood on the fire as I sat on a rock. “Come on out Luna.” A second later she walked out from behind some trees.

“How did you know that I was here?”

I smiled as I pointed to my ears. “You’re breathing too heavily.”

She laughed a little and I gestured to the other log across the fire. With a smile, she walked over to the log then moved her dark dress to the side and moved her tail to the side. She sat as the fire started to grow back up.

“So, Jack, how was your day?”

I looked at her then grabbed a long stick and poked the fire. “Not bad, helped around the farm.” She nodded and I looked at her then she smiled.

“Mine was ok I had to wake up during the day. Nobles can be so annoying to have to deal with.”

I laughed a little then I poked at the fire again. “I would guess so, but we need to talk.”

“Ok?”

I put the stick down and she gave me her full attention. “You and your sister came on way too strong. Your sister crossed a line and I will have nothing to do with her but you. I can work with you, Luna. You tried to make right a wrong for which there is no making right but you tried. Your actions speak higher of you than your words.” She smiled as she looked at me then spoke in a softer tone.

“Friends?”

I gave her a kind smile then tipped my hat to her. “Friends.” She smiled then stood up and started to walk away.

“Have a good night Sir Jack.”

I smiled as she walked back into the forest then she was gone. I looked back at the fire as the wind started to blow around me.

“Jack come on!”

I looked back as Jack walked down the road Applebloom sitting on his shoulder.

“Coming Hun, and you know you shouldn’t be running around.”

I laughed as I looked down at my new slightly round stomach. I laughed a little as I looked back up at him. “You know Twi is crazy about being on time. Besides, we’re about to find out if it’s a colt or filly!” When he was close I grabbed his free hand and started to pull him along.

“Applejack?”

I stopped as the world around me and I looked over to see a very nervous looking Luna. I narrowed my eyes as I glared at her. “What do you want?” She put her hands up as she looked at me.

“To talk is all Applejack, you are the element of honesty and we need you to help protect everypony in Equestria. And, I know with what we’ve done I’m asking a lot of you but I’m not asking for your forgiveness not will I. We took a member of your family from you. We scared your family which is something I fully expect you to never let go of.”

“Oh, don’t get me started on that! You two took our Granny the oldest member of our family.”

I started to tear up as I looked at her my anger giving way to sadness. “The mare who was Applebloom’s only mother figure and the strongest mare I knew.” I pulled my hat down as tears rolled down my face. A second later Luan wrapped her arms around me and I wanted to scream and kick but all I could do was wrap my arms around her. She rubbed my back as I started chucking up as I started to cry harder in the airs of a mare I once thought of as kind and as a friend.

“It will be ok Applejack and I promise we will make restitutions for what we have done. If you or your family ever needs anything I promise we will get it.”

I only nodded then pushed her off as I looked at her through my tears. “Nither I or my family want anything from you two! We want to left alone from you two!” She flinched and I glared at her for a moment then turned my back on her. “Get out of my dreams and stay out.” A few seconds passed in silence then she spoke.

“Very well Applejack, but know my offer is always open.”

A few seconds later she was gone and everything turned back.

Applejack awake pov

I snapped awake jumping in bed and blocked the sunlight from my eyes. I looked around my room and stopped when I spotted a tray with a piece of my apple pie with eggs and toast with a glass of orange juice. Beside it was a note telling me to eat up with a love Jack at the bottom. I smiled as I grabbed the tray then sat up my back on the headboard. “Jack you’re a sweet stallion.” I started to eat the eggs with a smile on my face.

Jack pov

I walked down the main street with Applebloom on my shoulder. Mares walked with their sons and daughters many waved at her. She smiled waving back at them as we walked up to the schoolhouse and I saw she was right about the roof. It was in a bad way some shingles were about to come down. ‘This will come after I handle Creams home.’ I waved goodbye to Applebloom then turned and walked off. While I walked I stopped in the center of town when I caught sight of someone wearing a coat I recognized, by owned someone I never thought I would see again.

“Southern Wind!?”

A large stallion with a long brown mane turned and I saw a long scar going down his right cheek. In his right hand was his compounded bow and he was wearing an arrow sheath on his side.

“JACK!?”

We ran up to one another then hugged each other and patted each other back as we laughed. He pulled back holding on to my jacket.

“Oh, let me look at you, my old friend.”

“Good to an old friend but how?”

“Talking a lot today I see, but I have no idea I fell in a cave than in a flash I landed in a mountain range.”

I nodded then waved him along as I turned to start walking again. “Come, I’m going home.” He smiled then waved his hands.

“No, no I’m looking for something to eat.”

“Got money any bits?” He looked at me confused as he pulled a few dollars out.

“Guess dash isn’t the money here?”

I nodded then waved him along then started to walk to the only dinner in the town. “Come on a thing called a dinner has some amazing food.” He looked at me strangely then followed me as we walked into the business area of the town and we walked into the dinner.

“Jack, how are you doing?”

I saw Cream in a pink uniform with a white apron around her waist. “Cream? I haven’t seen you here before.” She smiled as she looked back down to the table she was talking too.

“I just started, I need the extra bits so here I am.”

I smiled then nodded as the two of us walked behind her and Wind down at the table beside the window but I stood fixing my belt. A few seconds later she turned then the stallions sitting there turned to look at her as she walked away. One pulled his arm back like he was going to slap her rear. I glared at the two and they quickly turned when I took my coat off seeing my guns. With a smile, I sat down as she walked over to us. She turned a page and had a pen ready.

“What can I get the two of you?”

Wind no sure what to say look at the menu. I smiled as I looked at her. “Two hashbrowns with two flapjacks each with two cups of coffee and orange juice .” With a smile, she wrote everything down then walked over to the cook. She gave him the orders then filled all our drinks and walked back over giving each of us our drinks. When she was over to the two stupid stallions they seemed to stare straight at her breast and I saw one moving something on the ground. I saw a fucking mirror on the floor and I pulled a bullet from my belt. I threw it right as the bullet mirror was in full view if you were looking down. The bullet smashed the mirror scaring all three of them and the cook. Southern Wind turned a long knife in hand as he looked at the two.

“Pay this young lady and leave.”

Quickly doing as they were told they threw down bits then bolted out the door. With a huff, he turned back to look at me.

“I noticed them when we walked in.”

“Same.” I took a slow spit of my coffee as the cook looked at me annoyed. I set my cup down then stood up and he turned back around as I walked over to the broken glass. I tried to use my magic as Twilight called it. It worked as I lifted all the pieces into the air then moved them into a trash can Cream was holding. “Sorry.” With a smile, she set the can down then took the bits off the table and set them in a register then I pulled out six ten-bits then grabbed her hand. I gave her the bits shocking her a little then I smiled as I closed her hand around them. “Yor owed this keep them as a tip.” With a smile, she put them in her front pocket then I walked back over and sat down. A few minutes later the food came and we ate. Southern was shocked how good the food was and took Cream and the book as we stood to leave and I quickly left the payment and a few my ten bits. We walked out of the dinner and we heard the sound of angry people kicking something. We walked down the road a little and looked into the alley. We saw the two stallions kicking a now heavily damaged trash can. We looked at one another then I pulled my left forty-five. I whistled and they looked back snarls on both their faces.

“WHA….”

I smiled as they looked at us and saw the gun and knife as they looked at us. I opened the ammo cylinder then took out four of the bullets then moved one to the other side. I closed and spun the cylinder as I looked at the two. “Leave that mare alone or I’ll find you two again understand?”

“Y-yes!”

We stood aside and they ran off when they saw the opening. We laughed as I put the bullet back in then looked at my friend. I pulled out my bit bag then gave him a hand full of ten bits. “I’ll go home and talk with everyone and see if you can come to stay till you get on your feet.” He put all the bits into his side bag then nodded as he held a hand out to me. I took his hand and shook he walked off as I holster my gun. With a smile, I started to walk down the street spinning my forty-five on a figure. ‘I wonder if I need to get food before we go or after this movie thing.’ I stopped holstering my gun as I started to walk down the road to the farm. While walking down the road Mac came walking up a cart full of products. We waved as we walked passed each other. After a few minutes, I walked onto the farm and saw Applejack moving out the buckets they used to catch them as they fell. “Hey, hun.” Applejack looked at me with a smile on her face. She waved as she stopped the smaller wagon.

“Hey, Jack, thanks for the food this morning.”

I smiled while I started to walk with her to the trees. I set up the buckets for each tree as she kicked the trees making the apples fall. I took the buckets, set them in the wagon, then set empty ones under the trees.

“Want to try?

I looked up at her as he knocked on the trunk with her hoof. I looked at my large hoof and looked back at the trunk of the tree. “I don’t see why not.” I stood all the way up and she moved aside.

“Stand beside the tree then pull your strong leg back and strike the center in one strong kick.”

I nodded then stood beside the tree and pulled my right leg back then slammed my hoof into Trunk. The tree and ground shook and the apple fell but I saw cracks had formed on the tree. “Oh… I'm sorry.” She laughed as she looked at the cracks.

“No problem, it’s one of the older trees we have and Mac cracked them from time to time. Give it a week or two and it will heal up.”

I nodded then took my hat off and pulled her’s off and put my hat on her head. “Hun we need to talk.” She looked at me as she fixed the hat the way she liked.

“Ya?”

I rubbed the back of my head then sighed and looked straight at her. “An old friend showed up in town today. I gave him some bits to get a room in the inn at the end of town. I was hoping maybe we could have him do the same I did when I first showed up. Work on the farm for room and food.” She looked at me with a raised eyebrow as she crossed her arms.

“How well do you know this friend?”

I smiled as I put my hands in my pockets. “I’ve trusted him with my life more than once. Saved my flank one than ones too.” She looked at me with a slight smile then looked back at the barn and then the sky.

“Winter will be here in a few weeks. He’ll need the extra heater brought up to the room. He gets a week to prove he can be trusted.”

I smiled and pulled her into a hug and she laughed as she hugged me back. With smiles, we got back to work until it was almost time for the movie to start. With an hour to spare, we walked to the house and got cleaned up. We took turns getting quick showers then got dressed. Applejack was in a pair of nice jeans with a belt and a tied red flannel shirt with a white undershirt rolled up under the knot. I was dressed in something similar but I had a black flannel open with a white undershirt with my gun belt. I put my hat back on her head as we walked out of the house. While walking I grabbed her hand and she smiled as she leaned into my side as we walked.

“Say, Jack, can I ask you something?”

“Hm?” She looked up at me and we stopped as the light of the un was fading fast.

“Did Luna come into your dream too?”

I frowned then nodded as I started walking again Applejack looking sad.

“She was a good friend you know. She was a kind pony who just wanted ponies to love her night as much as they did Celestia’s day.”

I looked down at her as we walked down the road. “Do you want to forgive her?” With a nod, she spoke in a sadder tone.

“Yes and no, I’ll never let go of what happened with granny but I’m one of the closest ponies to Twilight throne. I will have to deal with her and Celesta a lot more before it’s over.”

I nodded and then rubbed her hand with my thumb. “I understand it’s hard to deal with forgiveness as sometimes it’s hard to deal with one after it’s all said and done.” She nodded as we walked into the town and saw many ponies heading to the hall. While walking I noticed a few ponies in darker clothes and then I saw two guards at the hall doors. We walked in and Applejack walked off to get us some seats while I went to get something for us to snack on during the movie. I walked over to the stand that had a sign that said snacks. I bought a large bag of something called popcorn and a few nonalcoholic ciders then walked back into the main hall and stopped there sitting beside a very angry Applejack were Celestia and Luan a shameful looking Luna. Luan saw me first and mouthed a sorry as I held all the food with my magic as I pulled out one of my guns. I pulled the hammer back the click got everyone’s attention. Celestia and I locked eyes with one another,

“Jack…”

“Horse.”

Her face turned red and Applejack snickered as Luna looked horrified as she stood up.

“Sister I told you it was a bad idea to come h...”

“Shut up Luna.”

Celestia stood up and I noticed a gun similar to mine on her side. “Getting brave.” With a dark smile, she looked at me. “I’m here to make a point Jack. As long as I’m alive I will be in your life as a friend or as an enemy.” I put my gun away walked up to her and before she could realize what was going on I snatched her gun popped out the bullet cylinder out then dropped the gun. “Get out!” I used a cold tone clearly scaring her and Luna stood up grabbing her sister then in a flash of light they were gone. I was clenching my fist so tight a few drops of blood fell. I took a few deep breaths and unclenched my fist. I sat down beside Applejack and grabbed the food and drinks out of the air as everyone seemed to settle back down. After a few minutes, the movie started up as Applejack leaned into my side. I chewed on the popcorn and watched as this Nightmare Moon destroyed the minds of crawl and evil ponies who would harm the young. Two hours quickly passed as the movie ran on. When it was done we left the hall Applejack half asleep as we walked, With a smile, I picked her up and she blushed as Ponies laughed as I carried her as my bride.

“Why do you always like to do this?”

I smiled as I looked back down at her then leaned down and kissed her cheek making her blush more. The walk back as nice as I looked up at the sky and Applejack was humming a song, I smiled as I looked ahead. Soon we got back to the house and I set her down and she walked back into the house but I turned back and sat down on the well. I leaned back into the wood as I looked up at the sky. I pulled out my gun as I turned and saw Luna with two dark armored guards standing at the front of the farm. I stood up then walked over to her and the guards backed off as I got close. “Luna…” She put a hand up as she looked at me.

“Before you say anything I want to say I’m so sorry. My sister wouldn’t listen to me and her mind was made up when she left the castle.”

I nodded then holstered my gun and waved her along. With a smile, she quickly followed me to the porch and we took a seat. The guards stood beside the porch and I pulled out my smokes and the matchbox I got a few days ago.

“What is that?”

I looked at her as she looked at my cigarette. “Something that’s going to kill me someday.” I truck the match and lite the cigarette then took a long breath then pulled the cigarette and blew out the smoke. I sighed as I looked at the red embers. “This stuff helps me relax after a long day.” I looked back at her and she didn’t seem to mind the smell. “You got something like this?”

“Yes, we don’t really have a name for it but most call it a weed. It doesn’t grow like normal weed but it can be farmed.”

I nodded wondering what this weed was like. Taking another breath in the smoke burning my lungs later after not smoking for a long time. I blew out the smoke again then pulled the case back out and held it out with the matches. “It will burn at first but your free to one if you can get me some of this weed stuff. Heaven knows I need this once and a while.” She smiled and nodded her head.

“I’ll have it to you in a few days.”

She pulled out one the lite the match. She took a few breathed then coughed a little but quickly adapted to the smoke. Soon we were talking about the day as we smoked and soon we were done and she wished me a good night and I left my coat on the porch. Most of the smell was on the coat but I could still smell it on myself so I walked up to the restroom and opened the cracked door and stopped. Applejack was standing there holding a towel to her chest. I saw her round cheeks and the apples on her his and I could see the edge of her nipples from the top of her towel. I quickly closed the door and rushed down the hall as I heard the door open as I quickly walked down the hall.

“Jack!?”

“I’ll sleep in the barn!”

I half yelled at the front door not sure what would happen if I stayed in that hall. I walked into the barn up the stairs and opened the door. I looked at my old bed and walked in locking the door behind me then walked over to the bed and sat down. I rubbed my eyes as I sighed. ‘Did I just screw up?’
