Cowboys and Angels

        Applejack was on the first leg of her adventure, and she decided to visit New York. Why? Well she didn't really know much about the city but that it was called 'the big apple' and how could she ignore that.

     Upon arrival she decides to go to one of the few landmarks she recognized, the statue of liberty. Now the statue was a symbal of order and peace, an anti-Discord if you will.

     Wow im kind of scattered i should probably stop writing on the way to school running on two hours of sleep. Wait did i just break the fourth wall? God Dammit Nappa, I mean Bronieman. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Im tired of all these mother-fucking snakes on this mother-fucking plane. You there, yes you eating the cheetos while sitting in his underwear at a computer at 3 in the morning. I just blew some guys mind. Now back to the story that i left for no real reason.

     Applejack finally made it to the crown of the giant statue of a pony wearing a robe. 'Buck that was alot of stairs, it was easier climbing the mountain to shoo off a dragon, I mean seriosly why can't they install a working elevator,' Applejack complained in silence.

     Just then a door opens behind her and a old stallion steps off an elevator pushing  a trashcan and a cart of cleaning supplies. "Well why in tarnation is that elevator not easy to find, I coulda used that thing," said a slightly ticked Applejack.

      "It's a freight elevator miss , it can only be used for moving large objects, getting my supplies up here, and emergencies," said the old stallion with a kind smile, "but if your to tired to go down the stairs again, I guess I could sneak you down with my supplies. It'll be our little secret."

     "Wha's your name partner?" Applejack asked intrigued by the old horse, "and watcha doin up here?"

     "The name is Alfred madame, and I am the janitor, though I was once a butler to a very rich man, until he was murdered and left his estate to the city and his money to me," Alfred told her.

     "How was he murdered?" Applejack asked getting into the tales of the old man.

     "He was shoved off a bridge by a horrible serial killer who went by the name of 'The Joker'," Alfred told the young mare, "In one last act of valor Master Bruce, my old employer, grabbed the monsters leg and brought him with him."

     "If your old employer left you his money why are you working as a janitor?"

     "Three reasons really, the first being I donated about three-fourths of the money to repairing the damage  caused by that madman, the second being I spent half of what I had left on Master Bruces funeral, and the third being that I'm not one to sit back and take it easy. I like to have work to do," said the butler with a sparkle in his eyes.

     "Now if I may ask what is your name young miss, and what are you doing in New York?" he asked curious to the girls obvious cowgirl appearance.

     "Oh, the names Applejack, and I'm on a little adventure to find myself," she tells him, "My brother noticed my sad behaviour as of late and sent me on this journey paying for the whole trip."

     "Well he sounds like a wonderful man, perhaps I will get the chance to meet him someday, now are you ready to go miss?" Alfred asks stepping in the elevator.

     "Yeah, thanks," Applejack says running into the elevator.

     Upon reaching the bottem Alfred told her with a knowing smile, "Untill we meet again Applejack, and what you're looking for you may run into sooner than you expect."

     Applejack looked at her watch and realized she's running late to check into her hotel. She gallops all the way to the building when she crashes into somepony. When she stands up she's stareing into the eyes of a young stallion with a stoic on his head and a guitar strapped to his back.

     "Oh my Celestia I am so sorry," Applejack begins to ramble.

     The young stallion gets up and picks up his things, and tells her "It's fine I wasn't watching where I was going, but ahm all right. I can't chat though I am really in a hurry." He then runs off into the hotel. Applejack walks in after him.

     She sees him go to the check-in desk where she was heading herself. As she got closer to the man she heard their conversation.

     "Ahm sorry ahm late, can I still check in?" said the stallion.

     "Of course Mr. Brown  your only a minute or two behind no big deal," said the young boy barely sixteen.

     "Call me Zac kid Mr. Brown's my father," said the stallion in a show of kindness.

     "Okay Zac would you like me to take your bags?" said the young boy.

     "Nah I got it kid but thanks," said the stallion getting his room key and leaving a $20 on the counter.

     "Thank you sir!" the excited kid exclaimed.

     "Um excuse me partner," said Applejack humored by the kid, "I called earlier, the names Applejack I need to get my room key."

     "Of course ma'am," said the boy slightly surprised for he thought that she and Mr. Brown were together.

"You know there is a party tomorrow in the ballroom, are you going?" said the kid.

    "I might but I'd have to leave right after its over got to leave and make my next hotel reservation," she said, "My brother decided to call the best hotel in each city to make sure I'd have a good place to stay."

     She heads to her room thinking about the party…and that Zac Brown fella. After she gets in her room she goes out on the small patio. She looks across the street and sees an apple tree and her thoughts linger to home.

.................................................................

     "What do you mean Applejack's gone?!?" yells a distressed Twilight, "She didn't tell us goodbye, or even where she was going."

     "It was easier for her to leave without goodbyes, she had a hard enough time as it is," says Big Mac.

     "Well...um...where is she sweety, I mean if you can tell me," mumbled a quiet Fluttershy.

    "I would gladly tell you but I don't know myself, she's just traveling the world," explains Macintosh.

     "BUT BUT BUT, if Applejack is going around the world there's no where we can send her letters, and if we don't send her letters, she won't remember us, and if she doesn't remember us, we won't be friends anymore!" spouts out a frantic Pinkie.

     "Really darling, your completely over-reacting, don't be such a spetsnaz Pinkie-Pie," says the ever voice of fancy talk Rarity.

     "Spetznaz Pinkie-Pie? I'm not Spetsnaz Pinkie-Pie he is!" yells a confused Pinkie pointing toward the computer screen of one of you.

     "Spetsnaz? Is that German or something Rarity?" asks a slightly confused Twilight.

    "No it's English, it means hyper, over reacting to something," Rarity attempts to clarify.

     "I think you mean 'spaz' Rarity," says Twilight.

     "Oh that's it," says Rarity.

     "Spetsnaz Pinkie-Pie? That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard," Says a voice from nowhere.

     "Rainbow!" shouted the group noteing her return.

.................................................................

     'Her name is Applejack,' thinks  Zac as he gets on the hotel elevator. 'I can't believe I ran from her like that. stupid, Stupid, STUPID!' he yells at himself in his head.

     He has always had trouble with women. He wasn't one of those people who couldn't talk to them at all, if they were married or not someone he'd have considered dating he could have long thoughtful conversations. His problem though was love.

     From the age of fifteen when ever he had a crush he would always stutter around them and act awkward. Usually it takes months for him to fall in love with someone. But this time it was different.

     'Her face was like an angel's, and she had such beaughtiful green eyes,' he thinks to himself, 'I don't understand, this never happens when I meet someone for the first time. It was... It was... Love at first sight.'

     He gets to his room and drops off his stuff, and immediately runs back to the front desk.

     "Excuse me but can I get the room number of the gal down here earlier?" he asks the kid.

     "You mean Applejack Apple from Ponyville, Equestria, runner of Sweet Apple Acres?" the boy read off a sign in sheet.

     'Okay didn't have to tell me everything, just wanted her room number. Wait... her name is Applejack Apple?' he thought, "Yeah that's her."

     "Well Im sorry Zac were not allowed  to give any personal information," the boy say almost giving Zac an anuerism.

     Zac runs back up to his room and notices a door open. He sees a the bentover flank of a chestnut coated mare with a stoic and and apple cutiemark. He runs to his room.

.................................................................

     The next day Zac decides to go to the party. As he walks around he sees Applejack talking to someone. He gathers his confidence and walks toward her.

     All of a sudden she runs toward the door and he follows behind. He sees her get into her truck and drive down the road. In a sudden burst of emotion he pulls out his guitar and begins to sing.

as he sees the last of the trucks lights he remembers something from yesterday, and he makes a decision.

"I'm going to Ponyville."

.................................................................

     Applejack drives on. She's dissapointed that she didn't get to see that Zac guy again. 'Who was he, he was so sweet.' She gets over it and look to the future.
