Applejack's Little Helper

That night...

You have finished a meal of apple cider, eggs, buttered corn, and apple pie with Applejack and you volunteered to wash the dishes. After finishing, you decide to take a shower. You open the door to the bathroom, only to see Applejack in the tub.

"Ahh! What are you doin'!?"

"Oh crap!"

"How'd ya'll get in here!? Did you unlock the door!?"

"No, no, no! The door was unlocked! I didn't know you were in here! I'm so sorry!"

"Get outa here!"

You immediately dash out of the room. But got hit on the back of the head with a bar of soap. You run back to the guest room. You hide under the covers, trying to fall asleep. But it's not easy with that memory of Applejack in the bath flying through your head. You try to take your mind off it, but it is very difficult. You need your sleep. It will be hard for you to work the fields with the lack of sleep, if Applejack doesn't kick you out, that is. You try everything to fall asleep, but nothings working. So you head downstairs to the kitchen to get some milk. You hope that will make you fall asleep. You don't want to see Applejack while she's mad, so you run towards the fridge, grab the milk carton, grab a glass cup, and ran back upstairs. Luckily, the milk has worked and, before you know it, you are asleep.

The next day...

You wake up in a state of dizziness and blurry vision. You don't know what time you fell asleep, but you know it was late.

"Ahg.... How late was I up last night?"

You look at the clock and it is almost 7. The Sun was barely above the hills, but the light that was showing was brightly shining upon the farm. It was beautiful sight. And sort of hurtful. You realize you were staring looking directly at the Sun.

"Time to head on down." *gulp*

You walk down the stairs with shaking legs. As you head down, the fragrant of eggs and toast slowly fill your nose. You peek from stairs to see Applejack drinking coffee while reading the newspaper, "The Equestrian Gazette". Pretty popular in all countries except Ponyville, which has the newspaper "The Ponyville Index", instead. You walk into the kitchen. Applejack doesn't look at you. You awkwardly grab some eggs and toast and sit down at the table. It's quieter than the Annual Quiet Game Championship. Fluttershy always wins. You're always second place.

"So.... How's the coffee?"

She looks from her newspaper and looks at you with serious eyes.

"It's fine."

"So, about last night. I'm really sorry I walked in on you in the tub. I really didn't mean to. Please don't kick me out. It took me forever to get here."

"Why would ah kick you out, sugarcube?"

"It's just that when that happened, I thought you would feel uncomfortable with me around."

"Don't worry. It take a lot more then that to make me kick somepony out."

"Thanks, AJ."

"No problem. Ready for a 'hole lotta  workin'?"

"You bet!"

You and Applejack clean up the table and head outside. You start the day with harvesting the vegetables and fruits, you planted seeds to grow new food, you buck all the apple orchids on the farm property, a quick brake, cleaned up the farm, and then put away the shovel and went back inside. The whole thing took about 13 hours! You are a mess. You're all sweaty and tired, mud on your hooves, and your mane was all out of place. You head for the bathroom again. You open the door and slowly peek in, hoping not to see Applejack naked again.

"AJ, you in here?"

...

"Guess she's not. Good."

You enter the tub and turn on the shower. The feeling of hot water touching your body feels so good that you feel drowsy. The mud and sweat quickly come right off you. You try and find some shampoo. You found a bottle of shampoo, but there is barely any left. You don't see any body wash so you have no choice but to use the left over shampoo and use it to clean your body. The shampoo on your body starts to feel a little irritating. But you can handle it. Tomorrow was the day we go into town and sell all the fruits and vegetables you can. It was going to be a pretty long trip, so you're going to need your rest tonight.

The next day...

You wake up feeling fresh and ready to go. You grab your saddlebag, brush your teeth, wash your face, comb your mane, and headed downstairs. Applejack was downstairs already, checking her list to make sure she didn't forget anything.

"Let's see here... We got the boxes and baskets we need for this here food, we got the tools and wood we need to set up the stand, and we got the bits for the train tickets. Eyup! We're all set!"

She looks behind her and sees you standing on the staircase.

"Mornin' Strong! Sleep well, ah hope?"

"Yup! Slept really well surprisingly. So, we all ready for the trip?"

"You betcha!"

"Then let's get going!"
