It was nearing the end of the school day and once again Joe was screwing around in class, trying to waste time. Joe looked up to the drywall tile roof and pulled out a sharpened pencil from his pencil case. With a smirk he tossed the pencil at the roof and the sharpened pencil stuck in the roof.

Joe chuckled to himself and pulled out another pencil and tossed it into the roof as well. “Joe?” the teacher asked and Joe looked to the teacher, “Yeah?” Joe asked and the teacher sighed. “Can you please read the paragraph?” the teacher asked and Joe scrunched his nose. “What paragraph?” Joe asked and the teacher let out a disappointed sigh, “The paragraph in the short story we are reading” The teacher replied and Joe gave her a confused look then saw the paper on his desk.

Picking up the stapled together paper he waved it, “Is this it?” Joe asked humoressly and the teacher rolled her eyes. “What have you been doing all period?” the teacher asked and Joe pointed to the roof, the teacher looked up to see all the pencils stuck in the roof. “JOE… you just… get out of class” the teacher yelled and Joe chuckled and got up out of his seat and walked towards the door but stopped and looked to the teacher. “See you tomorrow teach” he chuckled and left the room and walked to the football change room, class would be over in a few minutes and football practice would be starting just after class.

Football practice went smoothly and Joe was changing into his casual clothes as Tanner ran into the change room, “Boys, tonight we’re going to the bar” he told the team. “Come on man. What are you, high? We can’t get into the bar, we’re minors” Thunder Shot replied and Tanner rolled his eyes. “Nah man, my older brother is bartending tonight so he’ll serve us” Tanner told the team, who all cheered. “Joe…” Dandelion trailed off and raised his eyebrow. “No, I’ve got to work tonight” Joe replied, several of the team members groaned. “Awe come on Joe, this is a once in a life time opportunity here” Dandelion pleaded, “Yeah, one which could get your brother fired and fined, and the coaches would kill us” Joe replied.

“Awe come on man, this may be the only time we get to do this” Dandelion pleaded, Joe rolled his eyes “Yeah or we could wait till we turn 18” Joe suggested as he went to leave. “Hey Joe, you got your cell?” Thunder Shot asked and Joe pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and waved it for Thunder to see. “Alright well if you change your mind call us” Thunder Shot told him and Joe rolled his eyes as he left for work.

Joe left the school and walked over to his car, tossing his duffel bag in the back of the car and his cowboy hat into the back seat. Suddenly someone grabbed him from behind and slammed his head into the hood of the car with great force. “You want to talk badly to Ms. Tiara, then you’ll have hell to pay” the pony behind Joe said. Joe rolled his eyes, “Hey buddy, since I’m feeling nice I’ll give you one chance to let me go before I break your arm” Joe told the figure but the stallion simply rolled Joe over onto his back and punched Joe in the face. “Your call” Joe said as he grabbed the stallion’s foreleg and twisted it as he stepped forward and flipped the stallion on his back, still holding the stallion’s arm to its full extension he whispered into his ear. “Tell Tiara that whoever she sends next…”Joe trailed off and broke the stallion’s arm. The stallion screamed in pain, “They’ll have it worse than that” Joe hissed and stepped over the stallion’s body and sat in the driver seat. “Tootles” Joe chuckled and drove off to work.

Joe booted the tree and multiple apples fell into the baskets positioned at the bottom of the tree. “So Joe… tell me how’s school?” Applejack asked as she bucked a tree, resulting in more apples falling. “Oh you know, same old same old” Joe replied as he walked over to another tree and gave it a boot. “Well, ah don’t know… how’s the same old?” Applejack asked and Joe chuckled, “You know, just like old times” Joe replied and booted another tree. Applejack chuckled and gave a hearty laugh “Don’t wanna talk about it huh?” Applejack asked as she bucked yet another tree.

“What’s to talk about, school’s boring… teachers rant on about useless stuff and I have to sit there for seven hours a day and listen to it all” Joe chuckled, kicking another tree. “Well, if school is sooo borin how’s football?” Applejack asked and Joe shrugged, “It’s fun” Joe replied and picked up a load of baskets and placed them on the wagon. “Well, go on” Applejack told him and Joe chuckled as he walked back to grab some more apples. “Okay, okay, nothing’s new except the upcoming game against the Canterlot royals” Joe replied and Applejack raised her eyebrow. “Yah ready fer that?” she asked and Joe nodded “You can bet your ass on that on” Joe replied and picked up a few more baskets. Applejack looked at her flank “Nah, don’t think ah would risk losin muh ass tah no-pony” she laughed, Joe chuckled at the crude joke and hefted the baskets onto the wagon.

“Alright, that’ll be enough, don’t wanna overweight the wagon” Applejack told Joe. Joe hooked himself up to the wagon and began to pull it, ironic how back in his world the horses would have to do this. “You know… I’m not sure why I always have to pull the wagon” Joe laughed jokingly, Applejack trotted beside him “Hey now, ah pull the wagon to” Applejack replied. “Yeah, whenever it’s empty” Joe laughed and Applejack trotted into Joe’s side and gave him a nudge, Joe tilted his body at her and nudged her back. “Oh yeah… last one tah the barn is a rotten egg” Applejack retorted as she raced off towards the barn.

Joe called out to her “Hey that ain’t fair… ohh I’ll get you” Joe said as he began to push his physical limits, the wagon weighed around 200 pounds but with all the apples it easily weighed 700, usually Joe wouldn’t go running with a wagon full off apple baskets but the apple family had recently put guard rails on the wagon to keep the baskets from falling out. Applejack wasn’t pushing it and figured she had Joe easily outmatched, and was running at a slower pace.

Joe was pushing himself to the max and he ran up beside Applejack, “See you… at the barn” Joe laughed through heavy pants and raced ahead of Applejack. “What in the hay… oh yeah” Applejack said and lept onto the back of the wagon without Joe noticing. Joe looked back only to see a trail of dust, he figured he had left Applejack in the dust.

As he neared the barn he started to slow his pace so it would be easier to stop the wagon but suddenly Applejack jumped off the wagon and in front of him. “Eat muh dust Joe” Applejack called out and ran forward at full tilt, dust puffing up behind her. “Oh that mare… you’re so on” Joe said as he began to push his limits again, not wanting to be bested by the mare cause he knew that she’d hold it over him even though it was an unfair match.

Joe ran up beside her but as he did she gave him a dire look and pointed forwards. Joe looked forward only to realize that the barn was closer than he thought it had been. “SHIT” Joe yelled and quickly unhooked himself and tried to put his feet down to stop the wagon but it simply pushed him under and passed over top of him and towards the barn. Joe quickly reached up and as the wagon passed he grabbed the back end of the wagon.

Sticking his feet hard into the ground he tensed all his muscles as he tried to stop the high speed wagon. His biceps budged as his muscles maxed out and his feet dug deeper into the ground, Joe let out a grunt of extreme effort as his face went red and a vein budged from his forehead. “GAHHHHHH!” Joe roared as he tried furiously to stop the wagon, Applejack raced up beside him and tried the same thing he was doing but due to the way ponies walk she couldn’t hold the wagon with her forelegs and use her hindlegs as brakes. “Joe… ah can’t do nothin… wait” she replied and pulled out a lasso rope and lassoed Joe and began to pull back on him with the rope to provide extra stopping power.

Joe grunted and finally the wagon came to a halt, 10 feet away from the barn. Joe let out an exhausted exhale and leaned up against the wagon. Applejack followed suit and lept up on her hindlegs and leaned up beside Joe in a similar fashion. “I… didn’t… think it would stop” Joe gasped exhaustedly and Applejack nodded “Me either… thought it would smash right through the barn” she replied and Joe gave her a bro-hoof. “Good teamwork… for a human” Applejack teased and Joe rolled his eyes as he stood up and walked to the front of the wagon.

“Hope that the mounts ain’t busted” Joe replied as he looked at the mounts. Applejack trotted over exhaustedly and looked at the mounts. “Ah don’t think they’re damaged too much… but it might need a bit a repair… minor” Applejack informed Joe who walked over to the barn entrance and knocked on the large barn doors. “Just what in tarnation do yah think yer doing?” Applejack asked and Joe got a sly smile on his face.

“I win” Joe replied and Applejack gave him a confused look but then realized what he was talking about. “Hey, tain’t fair, yah cheated” Applejack laughed as she rushed up to him, “Me… cheat, ridiculous. You’re the one that hooked me up to the 700 pound wagon then declared a race” Joe laughed. Applejack lept onto her hindlegs and pined Joe up against the door. “Ah declare a rematch” Applejack announced but Joe shook his head, he loved it when he teased Applejack like this, her pride was going to suffer for this simply because they both knew that if she had actually tried she would have easily dusted Joe.

“Nope, looks like I win” Joe teased, “Tain’t fair, yah gotta go again” Applejack pouted, shaking Joe against the barn door. Joe released the door lock and their body weight pushed against the door and forced it to swing open and Joe’s body fell back, with Applejack landing on top of him in an awkward posture.

Joe wrapped his leg around Applejack’s hindleg and rolled their bodies over and lept off her body and began to run around in circles, “Yeah… and the human is the winner” Joe laughed but Applejack tackled him to the ground. “Nuh-uh, rematch decides winner” Applejack announced, “Fine but you have to carry that wagon” Joe laughed and Applejack looked to the wagon, sure she could pull it sure but there was no way that she’d be able to pull it as fast as Joe could run. “No… we both have tah have wagons attached” she replied but suddenly Joe’s phone rang from his pocket and interrupted there playfulness. Realizing that they were in a ridiculously awkward position Applejack got off of Joe and brush her mane out of her face as Joe stood up and answered the phone.

“Yeah?” Joe asked, “Hey Joe, listen some of the guys are really drunk and need a ride home…” Thunder Shot said over the phone. “Yeah, okay I’ll be there in a bit” Joe replied and ended the phone call. “Sorry AJ, some of the guys at the bar are drunk and need me to drive them home… gotta cut work early today” Joe informed her and she nodded. “No worries, but tomorrow we’re havin a rematch” Applejack laughed and Joe chuckled as he walked over to his car. “Okay fine, we’ll have a rematch, but this time let’s have the ending line further away from the barn” Joe chuckled as he started the car and drove off to the bar.
