Ch. 2 The Apple Family

"Oh yeah, I agree with you Mr. White lets just explain our situation to that pony walking up the road towards us. You know what lets be sure to emphasize the part about our RV containing a fucking METH LAB! Fucking brilliant Mr. White."

Walter glared at Jesse with anger.

"Start the RV smartass, I'll distract her while you find a spot to hide it."

"Yeah so many hiding spots Mr.White, lets see you want it behind that apple tree? Or maybe that apple tree? Or how about-"

"JUST DO IT JESSE!!!"

Jesse immediately flung the door open to the RV and got into the driver's seat. He frantically searched his jacket for the keys but stopped suddenly.

"Wait a minute.. How can I pick things up with these?"

Jesse stared at his hoof appendages for a couple of moments. Worry about the current situation started to sink in along with frustration with the realization that he could no longer grab and hold things like he used to.

"JESSE HURRY THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TIME! SHES COMING CLOSER! I'D SAY WE HAVE 15 MINUTES!!"

Jesse put the thought out of his mind and decided to give it a shot. He gets the keys from his jacket and holds them in his hoof.. With absolutely no problem.

"Hmm.. Ok whatever."

He puts the keys in the ignition and tries to start the RV.

*Whir Whir Whir Whir Whir Whir*

*Whir Whir Whir Whir Whir Whir*

"MR. WHITE THE RV BATTERY IS STILL DEAD!"

"WHAT!! YOU MEAN AFTER ALL THAT CRANKING ITSELF IT DIDN'T EVEN-.. Wait a minute.. Where is the battery?"

Walter looked around for the battery but to no avail.. The battery was no where to be found and there was no hope of hiding their technicolored RV.

"Mr. White what do we do?"

"Get the hell out here Jesse!"

Walter demanded stressed out with adrenaline. Jesse immediately came out of the RV and shut the door behind him. Then, Walter eyed him.

"Listen.. We are going to play this cool and calm OK? We will try to avoid suspicion and under any circumstances we DO NOT let her anywhere near inside the RV.. You got that Jesse?"

"Whatever man." Jesse replied apathetically, he hated being talked down to like a kid especially by Walter.

The orange pony came closer and the two looked on with tension.

"Fingers crossed."

Walter whispered to Jesse.

"We're screwed."

Jesse replied bluntly out loud.

The orange pony had a cowboy hat, blonde hair, and freckles along with an apples tattoo on her flank. She approached the two cautiously and gave them a mean look.

"Yeah Yall are screwed all right just what do you think yall are doin on private Apple Acres Property? And what is this contraption here? Are you friends with the Flim Flam Brothers?"

Walter was confused about how to answer the last question but attempted to answer the other two.

"I'm terribly sorry, My name is Heisenberg and this is my associate umm-.."

"Jesse Jackson"

Walter gave him a look that said "really" but quickly looked back towards The Orange Pony

"We're just traveling businessmen and we seemed to have taken a wrong turn and ended up on your property here. But, as we were about to turn around and head back the way we came our RV broke down and now we have no way of moving it. Is it ok if we can borrow a spare battery that your not using?"

The Orange pony just looked at them her expression unchanged.

"Just what in tar-nation is an RV and a Battery? You folks are mighty suspicious. I'm thinking about letting the authorities know about this but first I want to know what's in that thing you call an RV to make sure yall aren't trying to steal our famous apples."

Walter and Jesse both looked at each other with dread. Walter's heart beat started to speed up. NO WE CANNOT LET HER IN THERE SHE CANNOT FIND OUT ABOUT THE METH! The Orange Pony was approaching the door when suddenly Walter flung his body across it and kept it covered.

"Just what do you think your doing?" The Orange Pony replied with an arched eyebrow, suspicion rising.

"Look, inside is a bunch of private work my partner and I have been doing inside there if you go in our business will be ruined!"

"Yeah" Jesse joined in "We know we're trespassing but that work is like.. Top secret.. Like we will be fired if anybody were to find out."

"I've had about enough of this. Two weird looking strangers: A bald one, and one who wears a jacket in the middle of the summer like a junkie, a strange contraption I've never seen before on my land, and finally who says anybody when the folks around here say anypony. That about clears it up for me gentlemen you two are definitely bad news and the authorities will know about this."

Walter's heart started to beat faster now he could hear the rhythmic pulses in his ears. The orange pony turned around to run away and get the police when Jesse galloped and stopped in front of her.

"LOOK BITCH WE ARE ON PRIVATE BUSINESS AND IM SORRY BUT THE AUTHORITIES CANNOT BE INVOLVED AT THE MOMENT!!!"

The orange pony looked at him infuriated. Rage started to build inside of her and she kicked dirt up from her hind leg while making snorting noises.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?!"

The orange pony quickly spun around and started bucking at him with a force so strong you could hear the wind whistle as she kicked at it. Jesse dodged buck after buck but they were unrelenting and one nicked him a little on the ear, even though it was a little it hurt like hell. Damn this Bitch Jesse thought still dodging the flurries.

Walter still spread out over the RV door tried to stop the the fighting.

"STOP PLEASE HE DIDN'T MEAN IT HE DIDN- *Cough Cough* HE DIDN'T ME- *Cough Wheeze Cough*
Walter slowly fell to the ground sliding off the RV door. He covered his mouth with his hoof while he coughed and wheezed then he looked at his hoof .. There was blood on it.

The orange pony stopped mid-buck right when she was just about to land on Jesse's face and saw Walter's hoof covered in blood.

"Uh-oh he looks like he needs help! I'll get my family for him I'll be right back I promise!"

Walter's vision started to fade and blur out while she was talking and barely made out her galloping down the road and Jesse galloping towards him.

"MR. WHITE! ARE YOU OK.. Mr. white.. Mr."

Walter blacked out and fell into a sleep.

"Hmmm... Urrgghh *Groan* what?.. What happened?"

Walter woke up and found himself inside a bedroom. The bed he was sleeping in had box pattern decorations of apples and apple trees. He looked around the room and saw it was a little small. Walls were painted orange with apple tree decorations and it contained a dresser and a closet.

Probably a guest bedroom Walter thought to himself.

He heard someone coming up the stairs and saw the door to the room open. It was the same Orange pony from before and she was carrying an ice pack in her mouth. Her eyes looked sad and she looked down on the floor after putting the ice pack on his head.

"I apologize mister I didn't know yall was sick if you'd say so in the first place I would have immediately brought you to my family's farm for help."

"No No.. It's fine really I was just stressed out from all the excitement that's all."

Walter chuckled a little but then started wheezing. *Cough Cough Cough Cough*

The Orange pony immediately facehoofed

"Aww how could I forget you needed a drink be right back."

She hurriedly went out of the room and Walter heard her rush down the stairs. After about 5 minutes, he heard the rushing steps head back up the stairs and saw his door open. She brought in a platter containing on its surface a jug of ice water and a cup already poured. Walter grabbed the cup with both hooves and gulped down about half the cup. He gasped a little after drinking and put the cup back on the platter.

"Let's start over." The Orange pony said. "My name is Applejack and I don't know what your real name is but I'm going to change that other name you gave me to something that makes sense around these parts. So lets say umm... Heisencolt what do you think?"

Walt stared and started to stammer

"How-How did you-."

"Sir." Applejack interrupted "With all due respect, I'm the element of honesty and can smell a liar from a mile away. I could tell from the way you looked at your partner when he announced his ridiculous name that y'all were feeding me a bunch of horsefeathers. But, I can tell you are a good natured pony and don't mean anypony no harm."

Applejack reassured what she said with a warm smile.

"I appreciate that really thank you."

"It's no problem sir. Anything you need and I will be at your service."

Applejack gave a slight bow when she said this.

"Actually if you don't mind me asking where is my partner Jesse?"

"Oh... Him." Applejack said this rolling her eyes with a slight tone of irritation in her voice.

"He's in the barn with the rest of the animals that don't know any manners."

Walter chuckled a little at the thought of Jesse being pecked at by chickens or having to deal with the smell in general. But then, another thought came to mind.

"Umm.. About the RV.. Listen I know it's alot to ask but can I leave it here for now until I find a way to move it? And I understand of course that it's on your property but that RV is very important. It could be our only way out of this worl- this town I mean. The most I'm asking is a couple of days at least.. Please?"

Applejack thought for a moment for what seemed like an eternity to Walter. She then let out a sigh.

"OK mister I'll promise not to mess with it. Its not like its in the way of the apple trees or anything as long as its sitting on that field but I have to ask.. Whats really inside that RV?"

Oh no he thought. His heartbeat picking up again, he tried searching for an excuse anything he could think of would work. But no he thought, she has some sort of special power where she can tell your lying or not. A real living lie detector... AGHHH!!! WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I SAY?

He suddenly heard more movement outside the door then, the door opened to reveal A big Red Pony, a small yellow pony with a pink bow, and an elderly green pony with gray hair. Thank god a distraction Walter thought to himself. The yellow pony looked concerned.

"Is he ok? Is he ok? Is he ok?"

She asked jumping up and down frantically.

Applejack reassured her sister "Yes he's fine don't worry. He look good to you Big Mac?"

"E yep." Replied the big Red Pony that was apparently know as Big Mac.

"He definitely looks good to me." The green pony winked at Walter. He smiled nervously and shuddered.

"Heisencolt this is The Apple Family: My Grandma Granny Smith, My little sister Applebloom, and My older Brother Big Macintosh but everybody calls him Big Mac. Everyone this is Heisencolt."

"It's very nice to meet you all." Walter said with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you too handsome."

Replied Granny Smith. Walter unsure how to react just kept smiling.

"It's good to see that your doin better Mr. Heisencolt sir."

The little Applebloom replied with a gentle smile.

"Thank you sweetheart that means alot."

Applebloom's innocence reminded Walter of his own daughter. His wife was still pregnant and she hasn't given birth to their daughter yet but just by talking to Applebloom he knew he wanted his daughter to be just like her.

"Well everypony I think we bothered this poor colt enough lets give him space and ill meet all of you down for supper after I take care of our guest."

The three ponies started shuffling out the door

"Get well soon Mr. Hiesencolt sir."

"Eyup."

Granny Smith was the last to leave but before she did she winked at him

"See you later sexy."

Walter was starting to get seriously scared of Granny Smith.

Applejack reassured him. "Don't worry shes just yanking your reins. She does that to alot of the older ponies around these parts, she was also a big flirt back in the day too." She said rolling her eyes a little.

They both laughed. Walter enjoyed the laughter it took his mind off his problems and he probably would have stayed if he hadn't remembered Jesse was still in the barn. Unfortunately he had a time limit and he had work to do.

"Listen I appreciate everything you and your family have done for me but I have to take care of some urgent business so I have to be going now."

Walter tried getting out of bed but Applejack stopped him.

"Sir you can't be thinking about leaving after an incident like that. Yall need to stay at least for a couple more days."

"Listen." Walter tried to explain. "I don't have alot of time left. I need to find a way back home to my family and make sure that they get the life they deserve when I finally leave them for good."

"What do you mean leave them for good?" Applejack asked

Walter paused for a moment thinking.. Should I tell her? Can I trust her?

"I.. I.. I have..-"

He was cut off by the sound of yelling coming from the outside.

"YO MR. WHITE COME ON WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR "BUSINESS TRIP" SO WE CAN GET PAID!"
Applejack went immediately to the window, opened it, and started shouting

"HE NEEDS HIS REST AND WHAT HE DOESN'T NEED IS SOME JUNKIE PONY! SO GO BACK TO THE BARN WHERE YOU BELONG!!!"

"I AINT GOING BACK TO ANY BARN SO HOWS ABOUT YOU GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN WHERE YOU BELONG BIT-!"
"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH!!!"

Walter shouted getting up from the bed. He went to the window and shut it closed. "But.." Applejack tried to say but Walter smiled

"Thank you for what you've done for me. Really, I appreciate it."

He then, went down the stairs and hurriedly said his farewells to the Apple Family in the living room and rushed out the door. Applebloom tried to gallop after him

"But mister Heisencolt don't you need more re-."

"Applebloom" Granny Smith called in a gentle voice. "Now when ponies get to be as old as I am or Heisencolt they can decide when they are sick or not sick. You have nothing to worry about he will be fine."

Walter met Jesse outside and looked at him with anger gritting his teeth.

"Just what the hell are you trying to start again?"

"Just trying to get you out of that nut house so we can get to business."

Jesse glared back at Walter

"I just think the fact that these people know about our RV is enough information right Mr. White? Or did you just feel like telling them your life story?"

Walter kept looking at Jesse with contempt but than looked away and began to think.

"Hmm.. Well I guess our next plan of action is to find a way out of here.. Applejack said she wouldn't bother the RV since it wasn't in the way so we are clear on that.."

"Wait.. Applewho? Oh you mean the Bitch pony."

Walter thought about hitting Jesse accross the face with his hoove for insulting Applejack but let it slide this time.

"Jesse didn't you watch this show with your younger brother?"

"Yeah well.. I'm high most of the time I watch it."

Walter heard a the door of the Apple house open in the distance. Applebloom was waving from the doorway of the house

"Bye Heisencolt."

"Bye Applebloom."

Walter waved back

"Bye Jesse Jackass."

Jesse glared at Applebloom

"Wait a minute. Applejack he doesn't look like a donkey."

Walter burst out in laughter while Jesse looked at the Apple house angrily. Yep, Walter thought to himself. I want our daughter to be just like her.

==============================================================================
"Hmm.."

Applejack thought to herself

"I know I said I would leave the RV alone.. Well actually I said I wouldn't remove it off the property.. Err I'm just so curious I have to know whats in there."

Applejack opens the door to the RV.. The whole place smells and there is this crystal looking stuff in bags on a workbench. She suddenly hears a noise.

*vibrate* *vibrate*

*vibrate* *vibrate*

"You've reached Walter White I can't come to the phone right now but please leave a message."

"Walter it's Skyler I haven't heard from you since you went to visit your mom but just to let you know I called your mom and she said she didn't know you were even coming. What do you do when you go off on your little walks? In fact don't even bother calling back Goodbye.

*Beep*
