Author's Note

As kids we are not told how life can be once we get older we are taught a lot of things but nothing that can really truly help us in life such as the loss of a family member bills taxes generally anything that isn't really taught in school and we are thrown into the mix of everything kinda like getting told to get in the seat of a car or plane and being told to go with out any real instructions other than the basics but nothing concrete

Introductio et breakins

"Nix that sounds nice what does it mean?" Asked Diamond Tiara.

"It means snow." States Hunter as he scratches the wolf's ear.

"I'm guessing due to the color of her coat?"

"Bingo, so you ready to head out?" Hunter asks looking at the young mare.

"Ready when ever you are."

"Alright hop on and we'll take this to AJ's place then head to yours right after."
"Um ok is it safe?" Diamond asks eyeing the contraption Hunter was getting on.
"Of course I won't be going fast enough to flip it in case I have to do a sharp turn since we will be going trough town to get there."

"Alright if you say so." Diamon says getting on behind Hunter and wrapping her arms around his waist and stomach.
" Nix follow." Hunter says as he turns on the atv getting a bark in response before taking off down the road.
As the two make their way down the path to Sweet apple acres diamond can see the ponies go by in a blur as they move past, but she could have sworn she saw her mother staring with her jaw agape but before she could get a good look they left town and made their way to the apple farm with Nix hot on their side not slowing down or tiring.
Pulling up to the farm hunter looks at the bar. To see Applejack waving next to the open door, turning into the barn hunter parks the atv at the back wall before turning it off and pocketing the key and jumping off before helping diamond off aswell.
"Thank you hunter"

"No problem don't want you falling off before dinner now do we."

"Your going to go to dinner dressed like that?"

"Whats wrong with how I'm dressed?" Hunter asks spreading his arms out and looking at his outfit.

Hunter was wearing a brown leather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath dark blue almost black jeans with a belt and his dark brown cowboy boots he wear on certain occasions.
" I think I look good." Hunter says with a smirk and pride etched all over his body.
Giggling Diamond take another look at his outfit.
"Well I guess you do look pretty good..."

"Why thank..."

"For a country pony or we'll boy in your case." This caused Hunters face to go from pride to confusion and then shock as it hit him.

"Heeey wait a minute." This caused Diamon to break out into laughter.

"I'm only joking calm down , for what it's worth you do look nice."

"Uh huh well I wasn't gonna change I dont got fancy clothes like yall rich folk never saw the point in them unless it was for formal event which I did not go to."

"Ah wouldn't let Rarity hear ya say that she'd have you in her shop faster than a jackrabbit runnin from a hound dog." Applejack says as she walks into the barn.

"So what are yall all dressed up fer anyway? And who's this cute Thang." Applejack says kneeling down to pet nix.
"Oh well diamond's father wanted to chat with me so he invited me over for dinner, and thats Nix my new pet she's a tundra wolf real sweet thing she is pretty smart to.
"Ah see well don't let me hold you up none yall better get before your late wouldn't wanna get on his bad side even though he's saner than his wife is, no offense." Applejack says looking at Diamond.

"None taken I understand she isn't the most liked mare in town."

"Alright well we'll be off thanks again for letting me park this thing here until I can get a place of my own."
"Actually one more thing could you watch over Nix while I'm there I don't think it'd be right to bring her along without permission."

"Of course I'm sure she'll get along just fine with wionna."

"Thanks alot Applejack, Nix stay here with Appejack until I come back ok." Hunter says getting a small bark back I. Response before the small wolf runs over to applejack.

"Shall we?" Hunter asks looking to Diamond.

"We shall." Diamond says as they leave the barn.
After the walk through town the two make it to Diamond's house, looking up Hunter takes in the place before giving a low whistle.

"Dang it about the same size as my place back on my world."
Hearing this caused Diamond to puase and look at hunter.

"Really did you have land to?"
"Oh yea lots of it even though most was a wooded area I thing the amount was about the same as sweet apple acres."

'Oh shit that would have put him on the same level as fancy pants money wise, but he left his world to come here and basicly has to start from scratch now hopefully it dosen't get brought up around mother.'

"Shall we go inside won't beable to get much do e out here now will we." Hunter says snapping Diamond out of her thousand yard stare.
"Oh yes of course let's go inside."

"Ladies first." Hunter says with a small smirk with his hand raised to the door. Causing Diamond to blush slightly.

Upon opening the door the two are met by a butler on the other side waiting for them.
He was an older pony with a graying mane he had the basic butler uniform on but it had a emblem on it probably to show who he worked for.

"Good evening Miss Tiara ,and guest may I take your jacket for you?" He said causing Hunter to subconsciously setting his hand on where his handgun was. This didn't go unnoticed by Diamond.
"Um no thanks I'll keep it on if it's not to much trouble."

"As you wish sir, miss Tiara your parents are in the living room waiting on you, and your guest."

"Thank you Maverick, let's go Hunter." Diamond says leading Hunter into the main living area. Walking into the room Hunter took note of all the art that lined the walls some of land scapes some of diffrent ponies.
'Must be paintings of family members' Thought Hunter.

"Daddy I'm back and I brought Hunter with me." Diamond says snapping Hunter out of his thoughts to look at the stalion in the room.
He was an older looking stallion maybe early to mid 40's with a slicked back black mane and grey coat l. He was wearing a fancy looking suit that was a darker shade of grey compared to his coat with a white under shirt and black tie.

'Damn make a guy feel under dressed why don't cha.' Hunter thought.

"Diamond sweetie glad you back home safe." Says the stallion as he got up from his seat and went to hug Diamond.
"ah, and this must be the young stallion I've heard so much of Hunter correct?" The stallion asks while holding out his hand for a shake.

"Hopefully not all of it was bad Mr?" Hunter says shaking the stallions hand.

"Rich, Filthy Rich, but you can call me Filthy or Mr Rich if you prefer. My word you got quite the grip on you don't you." Filthy Rich says while giving a Harty chuckle before releasing Hunters hand and stepping back.

"Hehe uh yea years of working mechanics and other various jobs do that to a person sir." Hunter says rubbing the back of his neck.

"So your a hard worker thats a good quality to have my boy, keep this one close Diamond he's quite the young stallion." Filthy Rich says causing diamond to turn bright red.
"DADDY!" Diamond yells causing Hunter and Filthy Rich to start laughing, and Diamond to growl.
"Don't worry Diamond I'm only messing with you." Diamond only grumbled before looking around the room.
"Dad where's mom at?" Diamond asks getting a frown from here father.

"She won't be joining us tonight she decided on going to canterlot to see her mother."

"Oh alright I guess it's just us three than."

'Good I didn't want her messing tonight up anyway.' Diamond thought before Maverick came into the room catching everyone's attention.

"Dinner is ready Mr. Rich."
"Thank you Maverick you may leave for the night." Filthy said nodding to the butler.

"Thank you sir good evening gentalstallions ma'am." Maverick says bowing slightly before leaving.

"Well then shall we go eat?" Asks Filthy Rich.

"After you sir." Hunter says letting Filthy lead them to the dinning room.
Upon entering the room Hunter couldn't help but let his mouth water over all the food that was laid out there was some delicious vegan meals and a few meat filled meals that threw Hunter off for a second before asking.

"I thought ponies were herbivores?"

" Oh we are but I wasn't sure what you were able to eat so I had a little bit of everything made? And since I get some buisness partners who are griffons that come by my chef is able to make both types of food." Filthy explains.

"Oh well that makes sense and to make it easier in the future humans are omnivores we can eat basicly the same thing you guys eat minus the flowers, hay, and grass."

"That does make thing easier l. We'll don't let me keep us standing here let's sit down and eat before it gets cold."
As the three sit to eat Filthy takes the front of the table with Hunter to his right and Diamond to his left. The meal went by fairly quiet as the conversation wasn't on anyone's mind at the time, but as soon as dinner was done Filthy spoke up.

"Well that meal was delicious but I know dinner wasn't the main reason I had you come here, why don't we move to my stuff where we can talk in private?"

"That sounds fine to me just lead the way Mr Rich." Hunter says as they all get up from the table and leave the room heading upstairs to Filthys study.
Once they enter the study Diamond moves to sit down while her father moves over to a cabinet opening it and grabing a bottle of wine and scotch and three glasses, before setting them on the table filling one with the wine, and handing it to Diamond, and the other two with scotch.
Hunter was looking at all the books Filthy had in his study when a cough made him turn around to Filthy presenting him the glass.

"Thank you." Hunter says taking the glass and taking a sip feeling the liquid burn his throat Slightly.
"Damn thats potent." He says making Filthy chuckle a but.

"Yes well only the best in my liquor cabinet." He says before taking a seat and offering the other one to Hunter.

"So you wished to talk what is it you'd like to ask?." Hunter says while sitting down and taking another drink from his glass.

"Yes well from what ive heard you left your world to live here why is that."
"Oh well there wasn't really much left for me there so when Twilight showed up I just kind of jumped at the opportunity I guess."

"And what makes you say you didn't have anything left there I'm sure you would be missed by family and friends."

"Well I don't really wanna talk about it its kind of a sour subject still fairly fresh if you know what I mean." Hunter says looking down at his glass.

"Oh well im sorry to have brought it up let's change the subject I also heard you were staying at the Castle is this true?"
"Yes that's true me and Twilight were pen pals when we were younger and she like I said before showed up and I decided to come back with her."

"I see from what I heard your first day here wasn't as welcoming due to my wife trying to belittle you and for that I am truly sorry."

"Oh no its fine I've dealt with people with her kind of attitude so I'm pretty used to it."

"Well either way I wish to apologize for the way she treated you, if you need any help finding some work or anything really don't hesitate to ask. She may not like it but I make it a point to not be a what they call "snob nosed asshole" that some nobles and Rich ponies tend to be."

"Oh thats alright and thank you for the offer I might take you up on it later."

"Yes well let's move on to other subjects shall we."
For the next hour the trio went back and forth asking questions and giving answers to the ones they felt comfortable answering while drinking and laughing at some of the stories that were told.

Checking his watch Filthys eyes widdend a bit at the time.
"Well would you look at that time sure does fly when your having fun, but I do have one more question for you Hunter."

"Fire away Mr. Rich." Hunter says taking a drink from his glass.

"What are your intentions with my daughter from what I heard you two were awfully close to each other going through town earlier." Filthy says taking a drink from his glass as well.

"DADDY!!" Diamond yells turning beat red.

Hunter nearly chokes on his drink after hearing this, after swallowing Hunter coughs a bit before answering.

"Sir there is nothing going on between us your daughter is a very nice girl but I've just met her."

" yes well nothing better happen between you two with out knowing each other better. Well it seem to be getting late and I wouldn't want you to worry our princess so let's call it a night." Filthy says while standing up.

"Yea I don't wanna earn her wrath just yet so I think that's a good idea." Hunter say also getting up.

Just as they were about to leave the room the sound of shattering glass could be heard from down stairs making the trio jump and Hunter to pull out his .45.
"Stay behind me." Hunter says while cracking open the door to look down the hall his gun at the ready.
"Hunter what are you going to do with that?" Diamond asks getting closer to him.

"Hopefully nothing." Hunter says stepping out of the room.

"Stay here I'll be back if no one is there if there is ill call for you or you'll know when everything is said and done."

"Be careful Hunter, Diamond stay away from the door." Hunter hears Filthy say before shutting the door, and making his way down the stairs and hall leading to the living room while checking the corners.
As Hunter made his way to the living room he could hear some one moving around. Peaking the corner he could see a pony trying to fill a bag with some of the items that were in the room. Making sure there was only the one pony Hunter flipped on the light startling the pony causing him to turn around before letting go of a magic bolt right at hunter causing him to get out of the way.
The pony then tried to rush Hunter, but before the intruder could get to him Hunter raised his .45 aiming at the ponies leg and pulling the trigger letting off a loud bang before the intruder dropped to the floor, where Hunter jumped on top of the intruders back and putting the gun to his head.

"DO NOT FUCKING MOVE OR THE NEXT ONE GOES TO YOUR HEAD!" Hunter yells making the pony stop from struggling.

Hunter heard the hoofsteps running into the room once inside Filthy and Diamond saw Hunter on top of the intruder with his strange object against the intruders head. Looking at the intruder they saw his leg bleeding with a hole in it.

"Filthy grab something to tie this fucks hands up and Diamond grab some towels." With that the two left to grab what was asked, before coming back and giving the items to Hunter.

"Move and die understand?" Hunter asks the pony only nodding his head in return.

After Hunter tied his hands and wrapped the wound the Guards came and took him away.

"Well that could have been way worst." Hunter says looking at Filthy, and Diamond.

"Yes but I must ask what did you do and what was that object you had pressed to his head?" Filthy asks looking at the spot Hunters gun rested in the jacket.

"Oh that was my .45 caliber glock it fires a small projectile at high speeds and can cuase some serious damage if used wrong, it's what caused that hole in his leg."

"I see you wouldn't use that unless you had to would you."
"No only in self defense, anyway I'm sure security is gonna be high around here so I should probably head back and get some sleep goodnight you two stay safe." Hunter says getting goodnight back from the two and heading off back to the castle.

After making his way back Hunter went in side dropped his jacket on the dresser in his room and placing his glock in the drawer by the bed before stripping and heading to the shower. Once he was out Hunter dried off put shorts on and fell in onto the bed before passing out.
