Chapter 5: The second arrival/Wedding preperations

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It had been a week since the proposal between Beau and Twilight. They were greatly excited for the big day to arrive. The only thing they needed to do was to find the date to set it up, as well as the wedding invitations. Though they were also worried for Twilight and Beau, for they knew Shining Armor was not going to make things easy for them, considering what he said to her before his wedding, even if he was mind controlled.

Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was busy bucking the next apple tree whilst Big Mac was taking care of the other side of the field. The last of the apples landed in her basket, allowing her to lift it up and moved straight towards her other baskets of apples and placed them next to them. Then she stood up and wiped her brow.

“Boy, that felt good bringing in the next haul.” Said Applejack as she looked around, then she thought back to Beau proposing. “Plus, if things are going smoothly, we should be looking at a weddin’ that might happen in the near future. Ah just hope things will work out, not after what happened last time back at Canterlot.”

Then she thought of something and said “Or maybe in Ponyville. If they might do it.”

She then shook her head and said “Eh, thoughts for another time. Right now, the next few trees are gonna need a…”

Suddenly, she saw a flash of light happening far from where she was standing.

“What in tarnation?!” exclaimed Applejack, “What the hay is goin’ on?!!”

She quickly ran down, wondering what that was about. Was it a magic event? Only one way to find out. She ran down the fields, wondering what was going on. She soon arrived at where the light was. She was busy looking around, seeing if there was any sign of anypony around.

“Now where in tarnation could…?” said Applejack.

However, she instantly spotted something and hid behind the tree just in case whilst taking a peek. She was surprised to see what she was seeing.

The stranger was indeed a male of sorts.

He was wearing a pair of blue jeans, brown shoes, a white shirt with a brown jacket of sorts. However, his features were a messy brown hair, lightly tanned skin, dark brown eyes, and had somewhat of an athletic build with a bit of muscle and was six feet tall. However, he didn’t have any pony features.

That’s right…he’s a human.

“Another human?” muttered Applejack in shock, “How in tarnation is that possible?”

However, she noticed that he had an apple in his hand, then suddenly looked miffed.

“Why that little, he’s tryin’ to take mah apples.” Said Applejack as she slowly crept up and slowly took her lasso out whilst saying “Not on mah watch.”

Though the human may have put the apple back and moved around whilst looking at his surroundings at the same time, Applejack still made his way towards him, for she thought he was a thief trying to steal her apples. She got her lasso ready and twirled it a bit.

“Hey, you there!!” shouted Applejack as she threw her lasso towards him.

The human jumped as he was startled, but before he could react, he was wrapped in her lasso around his body.

“W-What the?!” exclaimed the human as he turned around. He was stunned to see Applejack, whilst she was sternly staring down at him, not letting him out of her sights.

“Jus’ what in the hay are y’all doin’ stealin’ our apples like that?! Said Applejack as she kept her gaze sternly on him.

“I…I wasn’t trying to steal anything!! I’m sorry!!” grunted the human.

Meanwhile, at the same time, walking down the orchard, a certain young pony, aka, Apple Bloom, was walking by, thinking about what she and her friends were going to do now that they have their own Cutie Marks. She was alone in her thoughts until…

“Likely story!!” said Applejack as she tightened her rope around him.

“I swear, I’m not trying to steal your apples, I’m telling you the truth miss!!”

“Huh?” said Apple Bloom as she was taken out of her thoughts. “What in tarnation was that?”

She went over to investigate and to her surprise, she saw Applejack, holding someone in her lasso. But it wasn’t a pony.

“Another human?” said Apple Bloom surprised, “Ah thought the human they met was the only one. Still, better help him before Applejack takes things too far again.”

She walked over, wanting to know what was going on, whilst Applejack still kept her glare onto the human, for she thought he was lying. Before she could say another word about him eating her apples, that’s when Apple Bloom showed up.

“Applejack!” said Apple Bloom, gaining Applejack’s attention, even the other human, who looked at the direction and saw Apple Bloom standing there. “What in tarnation are y’all doin’?”

“Jus’ caught this feller here pickin’ some o’ our apples without askin’, Apple Bloom.” Said Applejack.

Apple Bloom took a look at the human and couldn’t help but giggle at the sight. She then looked at Applejack and said “Did he apologize, AJ?” asked in humor.

“Well, uh…yeah, he did.” Said Applejack with a flexed eyebrow, whilst not getting what Apple Bloom was implying.

“In that case,” said Apple Bloom, “Why don’ we let em go before ya puncture a lung there, huh?”

Apple Bloom looked at the human and flashed him a smile. However, by seeing her smile, the human couldn’t help but remember something from long ago. Which caused him to return the warm expression as he smiled too.

Applejack sighed and loosened the grip on her rope and allowed the human to move freely. The human immediately collapsed onto his hands and knees, panting heavily and coughed a little bit. The human never realized how strong she was when she held the rope.

The human then grumbled, “First I deal with a former boss at my old work who doesn’t know when to chill out, now I’m getting assaulted by some random…uh…”

His anger was suddenly replaced by curiosity as he looked at her and said “What exactly are you, anyway?”

“Oh, right,” replied Applejack whilst she adjusted her Stetson hat. “Sorry fer not introducin’ mahself an’ fer not listenin’ to ya. Name’s Applejack, Sugarcube. Ah’m one o’ the proud owners o’ Sweet Apple Acres. An’ this here is mah little sister, Apple Bloom.”

The human looked at Apple Bloom, who was still smiling at him whilst waving. The human felt a familiar sensation when he saw her eyes and smile, as it greatly reminded him of someone that he once knew. Realizing he didn’t want to hold them up, he decided to introduce himself.

“Well then,” said the human after he cleared his throat, “My name is Buck Armstrong. As you can guess, I’m not exactly from around here.”

“Ah can tell,” said Applejack, “Hard to believe that another human would end up bein’ pulled into Equestria.”

He saw that she sighed and took her hat off. Was she pitying you?

“Wait,” said Buck as he wanted to make sure that he heard her right, “Another human? Are you telling me that there are more humans around here?”

“This is partner.” Said Applejack, “Only one other human exists in our town.”

Buck looked away from Applejack to give into his habit of staring at the sky. On one hand, there’s a chance that your boring life was about to become much more interesting. On the other hand, there’s still the chance that the locals of this town might not take a liking to him since he was still a stranger to their land.

“Hey, what’s that thing around yer neck?” asked Apple Bloom.

Buck looked down and saw that she was gesturing the locket around his neck. He held onto it and was hesitant into talking.

“It was a birthday gift…a very special birthday gift from someone I loved very much.” Replied Buck whilst looking at her with a smile.

“Awww, that’s so nice.” Said Apple Bloom, then got curious and asked, “Where are they now? Uh, back at yer home, ah mean.”

The moment she asked that, Buck had a hurtful look on his face when Apple Bloom asked him that particular question, one that he just couldn’t find in his heart to tell her who gave him the locket, so instead, Buck just closed his eyes and then shook his head slowly. Applejack could see the look on his face. Clearly it was something from long ago that he wasn’t very comfortable to talk about.

“Ah don’t think you should ask him such questions Apple Bloom.” Said Applejack, “Probably best to leave the fella alone until he’s comfortable in telling us, okay Sugarcube?”

“Oh, alright,” said Apple Bloom. But then she realized that if he’s here, then he’d have a hard time finding a place to live. So, she turned to Applejack and asked “But can we at least let im’ stay with us?”

Applejack was a little surprised by this, but then she realized what Apple Bloom realized, that Buck wouldn’t have a place to live if he went off on his own. She looked at him, then to Apple Bloom. Buck ended up looking up in the sky after he got tired of staring at the darkness through his closed eyes. Applejack thought about it long and hard about it, but then she stopped being quiet and let her clear conscience do the talking.

“Now listen here Sugarcube,” said Applejack, “It’s clear dat y’all got nowhere to stay, so…”

But then Apple Bloom interrupted and said “How would ya like to spend a night back at our barn?”

Even though Buck had kept his eyes on the clear blue sky, he had heard them perfectly and gave it some thought. It was true he had nowhere else to go and he doubt that if he’d turn down the offer, he would get invited by someone else. But then again…he always wanted to try some farmwork for a change instead of being in a city.

“I don’t see much of a reason to protest.” Said Buck as he crossed his arms and looked at them. “You’re a lot much easier to be around with than my own blasted parents.”

Applejack smiled and held her hand out, allowing Buck to accept it whilst she helped him up. Buck was about an inch higher than her, but from the looks of it, she’s really strong.

“Y’all hungry there, partner?” asked Applejack. Suddenly, Buck’s stomach growled, making Buck blush and Applejack and Apple Bloom giggling at that. “Ah’ll take that as a yes.”

“A little, yeah.” Said Buck. “I’m so hungry, I could probably eat a bear.”

Both Applejack and Apple Bloom gasped, thinking he meant literally. Making Buck roll his eyes and said “It’s a figure of speech.”

“Still, don’t say stuff like that!!” said Apple Bloom with a glare. “Ponies are herbivores!!”

Buck took a good look at her, and again it reminded him of someone. He couldn’t help but smile and did the unexpected. He gently placed his hand on her forehead and rubbed it a bit, taking her by surprise.

“You’re just so adorable, you know that?” said Buck.

Apple Bloom suddenly blushed and giggled a bit, forgetting about the figure of speech he made. Applejack couldn’t help but smile at that too.

“Anyway,” said Applejack, “It’s obvious that one Apple wasn’t enough ta’ fill ya up, Sugarcube. Lucky fer y’all, Granny Smith should be jus’ about done with dinner.”

Buck nodded in agreement as he walked with them. However, during the walk, he couldn’t help but stare at Applejack. He had to admit…she looked kinda cute. However, what she said about humans earlier…

“So…” said Buck, “About this human? Where is he now?”

“Oh, right.” Said Applejack, “He’s up in the capital city o’ Canterlot, discussin’ the arrangements fer his and mah friend, Twilight’s weddin’.”

“Wait, Wedding?!! Exclaimed Buck.

*****************************************************************************************

“Excuse me?” said Princess Celestia surprised as she and Princess Luna stared at Beau in shock when he asked them a certain question that he wanted to ask them in person.

“I’d…” said Beau as he was completely nervous at the same time. “I’d like to have a wedding because…I want to marry, Twilight.”

The two sisters were still trying to process what he was saying. Princess Celestia cleared her throat and asked. “If I might ask…why do you wish to wed her?”

Beau sighed whilst closing his eyes, and said “I have to admit, that it sounds strange, I know, that I only began to knew her for more than a month, and normally it would be strange that a different creature would marry a pony.”

He looked away and said “But with Twilight, it’s different. I mean when I’m with her, we found out we both have a lot in common. We both didn’t have friends growing up over the years. But then I found out that she fell head over heels for me. And…something inside me just…felt the same way for her. I felt like…we were meant to be.”

Beau then blushed and said “And since after our wild night, she was fine until she got sick. But when we went to the doctor…we found out that…”

Luna immediately picked it up and in shock, slowly said, ‘She’s…pregnant?”

Beau nodded, which shockened Celestia and Luna more.

“But how is it possible?” said Princess Celestia, “A pony would take about two weeks before they became pregnant. How did she become Pregnant overnight?”

“Apparently from what the doctor said,” said Beau, “Because of her being an Alicorn, her metabolisms and other structures would change, considering that she’s different than from most ponies.”

Beau cleared his throat and said “Anyway…when I found out…it made me realize…I really want to be with her. I want to help raise a child and…be a better father than mine was. Teach her what’s right and what’s wrong.”

He raised his hands and said “And I know that it sounds crazy and everything. But…for the first time in my life…I actually have something to look forward to in my life. Something…that would really give me purpose. Something…that I’m looking forward to.”

Both Princesses could hear the honesty in his voice. And if what he said was true, then this should be an interesting wedding. For the nobles of Canterlot were a bit skeptical of him when he walked through the streets a week ago. Though when he and Fancy Pants met, he found him quite amusing, and Beau warmed up to him. Even Jet Set and Uppecrust were impressed by his mannerism and understanding of proper etiquette. Though given what Rarity told Beau about the two of them, he was a bit skeptical around them, and he can’t blame Rarity for thinking of them that way. He was able to gain some respect when he visited and helped at a few stores that had problems.

Then again, that’s what happens when he was raised by a family who taught him the importance of societies, their manners, their rules, and their proper attires.

Princess Celestia smiled, stood up and walked over to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder, which caused Beau to look at her.

“Normally, the idea would be frowned upon others,” said Princess Celestia, who then smiled, “But we can see how much you truly care for Twilight. And through her letters, she has truly taken a shine on you.”

Beau couldn’t help but smile to that, as he realized that this would be another big step for him, even for Twilight.

“Though it depends when we’re going to plan the wedding, as well as the date?” asked Beau.

“Well,” said Princess Celestia, “We could always start next month with the planning. Then about 2 months after that, we’ll have the wedding date at the end of the month. That way it’ll give you time to have a honeymoon.”

“That could work,” said Beau, “But should we send it to Twilight?”

She gave it a thought for a bit, then summoned both a parchment and quill and write down with her magic of what she had spoken to Beau. Then she sent the letter with her magic. Beau was a bit confused. Until moments later, the parchment appeared, allowing it to open in front of her and she read it. She then showed it to Beau, who also read it through.

“Wow, that could work.” Said Beau, “And wow, I had no idea she could say yes so many times.”

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna giggled at that. “She has a habit of doing that.” Said Princess Luna.

“We’ll have to get ready in Canter…” said Princess Celestia, however, Beau knew she was going to suggest that they would marry in Canterlot, so he quickly had to cut her off.

“Actually,” said Beau, “Would it be alright if we held our wedding at Ponyville?”

Both the Princesses were surprised by this.

“Oh?” asked Princess Celestia, “How come?”

“Well for one,” started Beau, “We’re not sure if Canterlot would accept the wedding thing, considering that some of them don’t like outsiders that aren’t ponies. I mean, given your experience with the Griffons, Dragons, Yaks and so on.”

The two of them grimaced and looked at one another, for they did have a point. The high society tends to be…hostile to outsiders.

“And the second?” asked Princess Luna.

“I don’t think we want to remind Twilight of what happened between, well…” said Beau, “A certain Changeling and a certain Sibling?”

The two of them widened their eyes in shock, as they had nearly forgotten about that day.

“Not to mention when a certain one she looked up to said, quote, you have a lot to think about, end quote.” Said Beau nervously.

Princess Celestia widened her eyes in shock, as she remembered. Causing her to look down in shame. “I er, ahem. I see what you mean.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to dig up the past,” said Beau, “It’s just…I don’t want her to go through that again, you know? Especially if Shining Armor gets involved in this. And knowing him he’d stop the two of us from getting married.”

“I’m sure we can talk to him,” said Princess Celestia, “He’ll listen.”

Beau then flexed an eyebrow and said “Like Princess Twilight listened to you when you told her to make friends?”

Both the sisters blinked in surprise from that, with Princess Luna saying, “I’m afraid he does have a point there, sister.”

“But I already told her parents as well.” Said Beau, “They have every right to know, after all.”

“And how did they take it?” asked Luna.

“Well…”

***************************************************************************************************

Beau had told both Night Light and Twilight Velvet. Both of them were shocked and dropped everything. Not only were they shocked about Beau wanting to marry Twilight, but the fact that she was now pregnant and is going to have a baby…

Within a split second, Twilight Velvet hugged Beau tightly and spun him around in excitement. At first, Night Light looked really threatening, but then he suddenly also laughed and hugged Beau. Both parents were hugging him so tightly, his face was going blue and he couldn’t breathe.

*************************************************************************************************

“They took it pretty well actually.” Beau. “Though I think Twilight’s mother is twice as excited to have a grandchild to look forward to. Though I have to admit, for a mare her age, she looks amazing.”

The two of the Princesses flexed their eyebrows at that, with Beau saying “What? Can’t a future son-in-law compliment his future mother-in-law?”

The two couldn’t help but giggle at that.

“And I was hoping…” said Beau as he felt nervous again. “That when our child arrives. That…you two would be their godmothers?”

The two princesses couldn’t help but smile and walk over to him.

“We would be honored.” Said Princess Celestia.

“I am looking forward to when the day of both your wedding and the birth of your child arrives.” Said Princess Luna.

“Thank you, Princesses.” Said Beau before the two of them hugged Beau.

*************************************************************************************************

Meanwhile, back at Sweet Apple Acres, Buck continued to follow the Apple Siblings to their home. When they were in reach, he was surprised to see how amazing it looked. For in a way, in a very strange way, when he was little, long before someone he knew was born, he always wanted to live on a farm, for in a place like that, really knows the true meaning of hard work, not like the places he worked during his summer vacations, as well as after he graduated. Maybe this could be a nice change of pace.

The three of them soon walked into the kitchen. Buck couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the display of food that was being cooked by an elderly pony. No doubt this was Granny Smith, who lived up to her name because of her light green coat. Buck had no idea, but she somehow knew Applejack and Apple Bloom had walked into the house.

“We’re home granny,” said Applejack.

“Well, ain’t that convenient, dinner is just about…” said Granny Smith, but stopped when she saw Buck. She was a little surprised, but she walked over and looked at him closely, and asked, “And just who is this, dear?”

“I…”

He then heard a door opened, revealing another that just walked in. This time, it was a stallion, with red fur and messy orange mane. He also had green eyes, and wore blue jean overalls that looked like it covered up most of his built-up muscular body, a white shirt and red jacket. When he spotted Buck, his expression displayed just as much curiosity as his did the moment they met their eyes.

“No worries, Granny.” Said Applejack as she reassured them, “We’ll explain everythin’ once dinner is ready.”

“I’ll admit though,” said Granny, “Ah never thought ah’d see another human, not since that Beau feller came here.”

“Eeyup.” Said Big Mac as he agreed.

“Oh, how was Beau?” asked Buck.

“He’s a nice feller,” said Granny, “Always wanted to help me out. Ah told him ah could take care of mahself, but he keeps insisting. And ah thought Applejack was the stubborn one.”

Apple Bloom and Big Mac couldn’t help but laugh at that, for Granny did have a point, with Applejack grumbling in embarrassment.

Soon enough, the food was on the table and the apples and Buck had taken their seats, with Buck saying, “Well, as I wanted to say, my name’s Buck Armstrong. As you can guess, I came from the same world as Beau.”

“Nice to meet ya youngin,” said Granny Smith, “As ya probably figured out, ah’m Granny Smith. And that there stallion there is mah eldest grand colt, Big Macintosh.”

“Eeyup.” Responded Big Mac.

Buck realized that Big Mac doesn’t talk much, so clearly he must be the strong and silent type, which he didn’t mind, as long as everyone got along, everything should be fine.

“It’s uh…nice to meet all of you.” Said Buck, before he felt his stomach growling again, making him chuckle sheepishly whilst Granny and Big Mac also chuckles. “I guess going without food for six and a half hours finally caught up with me.”

Buck felt something patting on his back, and then he noticed Applejack patting his back with sympathy in her eyes, “Well, y’all got yerself a spread her to fuel up.”

Buck couldn’t help but smile and said “And I greatly appreciate that.”

“However,” pointed Applejack out…

‘Of course.’ Thought Buck to himself.

“If y’all want to stay here, ya will need to earn yer keep. So tomorrow, yer gonna help us harvestin’ the apples to sell to the Ponyville Farmer’s Market.”

Buck was surprised on the inside, for it was quite so sudden that he would suddenly been offered a job without him asking. He should’ve known that there would be a catch.

Though on one hand, if he accepted it, he’d have a home to stay, some food on the table, a roof over his head, and…maybe some folks to talk to. Though on the other hand, if he didn’t, he’d be homeless and he doubt that Ponyville would hire someone like him, considering that he’s not from around here.

“Well, what do ya say there?” said Applejack as she brought him out of his thinking bubble, “Sounds fair, right Sugarcube?”

It does actually. For the old saying goes, if you’re gonna eat big, you gotta work hard. After some thought, Buck nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, okay.” Said Buck, “I’ll make sure that I won’t slow you down. And I’ll try to work as hard as I can. I mean it’s the least I can do for accepting me and letting me stay here.”

“That’s the spirit there, Sugarcube!” said Applejack as she patted him a little harder on his back, making Buck wince a bit. “Ah’m feeling mighty hungry right now.”

“Wow,” muttered Buck, “For a beautiful Amazon, she really is strong.”

“Uh, what was that?”

Buck blinked and looked at Applejack, and noticed she was slightly blushing. Oh shoot, she must’ve overheard him!!

“Uh, I mean, uh, let’s eat.” Said Buck as he quickly moved over to the table. Applejack on the other hand blushed a bit, for Nopony’s ever said that to her. She quickly shook her blush and went over to the table.

Once they sat and ate, Buck couldn’t help but take a big bite out of one of the Apple Fritters before he moved on to the salad. Granny saw and couldn’t help but give a short laugh.

“Take yer time there, Sugarcube.” Said Granny, “Ah made plenty.”

Buck couldn’t help but blush and swallow, whilst also remembering his manners and tried his best to control himself.

“Sorry about that,” said Buck, “It’s just…it’s been a long time since I had a meal this good.”

“Well, that’s mighty sweet of ya, deary.” Said Granny, “Ah’ve gotta make sure mah youngins here have had their dog gone bellies filled before an’ after work.”

Suddenly, when desert came along, Buck widened at the sight of the apple pie. He licked his lips as he scent of the pie nearly made him crazy. Taking in the smell of the warm piece on his plate, it was probably the last thing he’d be able to eat for the night.

“Can I ask a question, if it’s alright with you?” asked Buck.

“Something on yer mind?” asked Granny Smith.

“When I looked around,” said Buck, “I noticed you’ve got a successful business, but I just wanted to know…are you guys understaffed?”

“Eeyup.” Replied Big Mac with a nod.

“We’ve always been understaffed partner,” said Applejack, “We’ve got other families, but they’ve got their own farms to work on. On top o’ that, we’re on a very tight budget ‘Cause o’ all the repairs on the house an’ the bills. Why, just earlier last month, mah family an’ ah barely managed to make enough bits thanks to the cider season.”

Buck thought more about what she said during that information. Then he decided to make an offer. He didn’t know why he was going to do it, but for some reason he did.

“Tell you what,” said Buck, gaining their attention, “If I have some free time after harvesting some apples, would it be alright if I checked around to see what does need repairing, as well as handle that just to help ease every, er, pony’s worries.”

They were impressed by his offer.

“Well, that’d be mighty helpful.” Said Applejack.

“Eeyup,” said Apple Bloom, “We could always use more help to help paint the barn, as well as tryin’ to fix some o’ the buckets.”

Applejack looked at her with a flexed eyebrow. She wanted to ask, but given Apple Bloom’s sheepish smile, caused her to roll her eyes. Yep, she did something alright.

“We’d be glad to take up on that offer.” Said Granny, “Big Mac’s been lookin’ for somepony to help him out with those tasks.”

“Eeyup.” Said Big Mac with a nod.

Buck smiled, knowing that even if he would have trouble with the apple harvests, he’d at least have something to do whilst trying to help out around the farm.

*************************************************************************************************

After dinner, Applejack decided to lead Buck to the barn, where he would be staying until they can find a way to make him a proper room. Thankfully, the Apple family had already provided him with some spare but fresh clothes as well as a spare toothbrush.

“Sorry about this Sugarcube,” said Applejack as she opened the barn doors and showed him in, “This is all we’ve got fer ya to sleep in until we can work something out.”

“It’s alright,” said Buck, “I think I can manage with the barn.”

He looked inside and noticed how homey and cozy it looked at the same time.

“This isn’t so bad.” Said Buck with honesty and looked at Applejack, “The barn feels nice and warm, plus it’s got lots of hay bales and a nice view of the night sky.”

Buck couldn’t help but joke and pretended to be a soldier and said “And I shall take first watch for any intruders, Captain.”

Applejack couldn’t help but laugh at that silly antic.

“Alright then Sugarcube,” said Applejack after the laughter died down. “Y’all might as well get plenty o’ sleep. We start bright an’ early tomorrow at 5AM. Y’all understand?”

“Loud and clear.” Said Buck.

“Then ah’ll see ya in the mornin’.” Said Applejack as she held the side of the door. “Good night, Sugarcube.”

“Night Applejack.” Said Buck whilst she closed the door.

As Applejack walked, she suddenly remembered what Buck called her, causing her to blush again, but she shook it off and continued on.

Buck, at the same time, walked over to the bales of hay and climbed onto it. He took off his shirt to avoid sweating, whilst grabbing the warm blanket and covered himself before he laid his head down at a pillow. Buck looked at the night sky from the opening at the side of the barn, where he somehow felt a sense of peace as well as a bit of sadness.

He then began to think of someone, and pulled out his locket and looked at a picture of a little girl on it. He couldn’t help but shed a tear, thinking about her. Her smile was enough to make anyone feel better. Although, he remembered her last smile, as it suddenly flashed to the day she died.

It was clear that she meant a lot to him.

“Daisy.” Muttered Buck. He closed his eyes and said “Damn Leukemia. Why did it have to kill my sister? Daisy…you have no idea how much I miss you.”

All what Buck did was sigh and thought about trying to move on, for her sake.

He then turned to his side and slowly tried to fall asleep. For tomorrow’s another day. Now that he somehow gained a new life he’d been given another chance. He wasn’t going to let it be for nothing, especially for the Apple family that took him in. He’ll try to earn his keep for them.
