A cat in the hoof

Meanwhile when Neko took the Applebloom and her friends to the Everfree forest, Applejack, Twilight, and Gia went to get the meat apple trees and Babs. As they walked thru town they saw, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie hanging out with Alex at sugar cube corner. The morning sun felt great. Alex and Rainbow Dash waved them over.

“What is up you guys?” asked Alex has he stood up to huge Gia and shake the hooves of Twilight and Applejack.

“Oh not very much at all, but I do think that AJ found a date to the rave next week.” Said Twilight shaking Alex’s paw, Applejack started to blush.

“Well who is the lucky pony AJ?” asked Rainbow Dash has nudged Applejack’s side.

“It is no pony, but a…” said Applejack not sure how Rainbow Dash would react to her wanting to be with Neko. Alex knew what Applejack meant, but he wanted to let her say it.

“Well come on AJ, who are you going with?” asked Pinkie has she was standing on her chair waving her tail around. Twilight and Gia just sat down at the table waiting for AJ to tell her two pony friends.

“Well if you don’t want to tell us AJ that is fine by me, but when you do want to tell me, I’ll waiting to hear from you.” Said Rainbow Dash has grabbed Pinkie’s hoof and put her back into her seat. Applejack just smiled at Rainbow Dash.

“Well thank you Rainbow Dash, that is very kind of you, but I know you are going to make fun of me when I tell you.”Replied Applejack has she sat down at the table. Rainbow was thinking of none pony creatures in Ponyville that would date her friend AJ.

“Neko! Wow Applejack do you have him in your hoof yet?” asked Rainbow Dash trying not to laugh at Applejack.

“Wait, how could she have Neko in her hoof if he taller than her, he would have to shrink some how to fit in her hoof.” Said Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow just started laughing.

“Pinkie having somepony in your hoof or for me and Gia it would be having somepony dancing in our paw. It means they would do almost anything for you.” Explained Alex laughing a little bit, Gia just rolled her eyes.

“I think I get now” said Pinkie.

“Would some put those flea bags on a collar and of that table where only ponies should eat.” Said somepony, Everypony turned to see who was talking, but Gia and Alex just growled.

“That is that very nice to say. Who are you may I ask?” said Twilight has she turned to a young yellow mare. Rainbow Dash was ready to kick some butt, so Pinkie stepped on Rainbow’s tail. Alex and Gia kept growling, well Applejack was thinking of a reason not to kick this pony’s butt.

“The name is Summer Song. Those Anthromals have no feelings; they just kill and eat anything they want.” Replied Summer Song has stomped her hoof.

“You shut up there you!!! I have one those so called flea bags living in my barn, and I love him.” Shouted Applejack has Twilight quickly stepped on her tail. Rainbow Dash eyes got wide, Rainbow Dash knew that Applejack was not joking, but telling the truth, she new AJ need a good friend and that friend will be her.

“You must be brain washed; an anthromal would eat you if they ever got hungry.”  Said Summer Song has walked closer to Applejack. Alex stood up, Twilight tried to stop him, but Alex snarled at her. Summer Song backed off a little bit.

“You listen here Summer Song, if you dare come near Applejack or anyone of my friends; we are going to have some trouble. Also Applejack may not have known my friend Neko for very long, but I would never eat any of my friends. So I don’t want to hear how some anthromals killed somepony you know.” Said Alex has he calmed down enough to talk. Summer Song back off a little bit more. Gia whispered something in Twilight’s ear.

“I’m so sorry Alex, but we need to leave and if you don’t leave Gia told me to pit a collar on you.” Said Twilight has she took her hoof off of Applejack’s tail. Summer Song left, well Twilight, Gia, and Applejack went to the train station, well Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Alex went over to hang out with Vinyl at her place.

“Applejack thank you for standing up for us, you too Twilight.” Said Gia has she flicked her tail.

“No problem Gia we got your back, So Gia I’m sorry if Summer Song hurt your guys feelings back there” said Twilight smiling at Gia well she just smiled back at her. Applejack was still mad about what happened back there.

“Gia can I ask you something” asked Applejack has she stopped.

“What is it Applejack?” replied Gia has turning around to see Applejack.

“If you guys never met us would you eat us?” asked Applejack, Gia and Twilight gave her a weird look.

“No. For a few reasons, one Alex, Neko, and I would never eat anything that would talk to us, two we are not mindless killers.” Replied Gia has she put a paw on Applejack’s head.

“Gia I would like to learn about you anthromals and your ways.” Said Twilight, Gia and Applejack just gave Twilight a weird look.

“What do you mean Twilight by study them?” asked Applejack as nicely as she could.

“Well Applejack the only book I own on them is not 100% correct, so I would like to write a book about them by mine and their own words.” Replied Twilight has she looked at Gia.

“I think that would be a great idea, I don’t know about by brother and Alex, but I like this idea of yours Twilight.” Said Gia, all three of started to walk to the train station again.

Alex, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie where walking to Octavia and Vinyl’s place. The morning was all most done. Everypony was up and about to do their daily business; there were ponies buying food for the day, as well as ponies hanging out with their friends. Alex took a deep breath to clear his head from Summer Song’s words. A lot of ponies where still of afraid of Alex and his friends because they eat meat. This really bugged Alex, because he wanted to be trusted by the other ponies in Ponyville other than Vinyl, Octavia, Twilight, and her friends.

“Alex are you still mad about what that pony said?” asked Rainbow Dash has flew in front of Alex.

“No, well yes, but I’m thinking about what kinds of things that we should do at Vinyl’s rave.” Replied Alex has he moved Rainbow Dash to the side.

“Well that is good to hear, because I don’t like it when anypony, or you and your other friends are upset. Just remember to smile Alex.” Said Pinkie Pie has she bounced up and down. Alex just smiled, because Pinkie was right. Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes. When they got to town square they saw Rarity doing some shopping. They walked for to her, to have a chat.

“Hay there Rarity!” shouted Pinkie Pie. Rarity looked and ran over to them.

“So Rarity what are you shopping for?” asked Alex has he walked over to Rarity.

“How just for some food for tonight’s dinner, with my family.” Replied Rarity looking at her bags on her bag.

After talking to Rarity Alex, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie pie got to Vinyl and Octavia’s place. Vinyl was sitting outside for them; Octavia could be heard playing her cello from outside.

“Hay there guys, it’s about time you guys get here.” Said Vinyl standing up, Alex just rolled his eyes.

“We were talking with Rarity for a bit, sorry about making you wait.” Replied Alex putting his paws in the air, Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes with her hooves in the air.

“It’s cool you guys, so let’s talk about my rave next weekend.” Said Vinyl taking her shads off, Pinkie Pie was bounced up and down because she was happy to a part of such a big party.

“So what do you have in mind Vinyl?” asked Rainbow Dash has she landed next to Vinyl.

“Well Rainbow Dash, I have Alex hear to do a glow stick dance, Applejack is giving me some apples so we can have apple cider to drink, also I am having Pinkie Pie gather Everypony she knows to come. Then you Rainbow Dash I’ m going have you learn glow stick dancing from Alex.” Said Vinyl has she wrapped her hoof around Rainbow Dash.

“Okay, so when are we going to this party Vinyl?” asked Pinkie Pie has she stopped bouncing.

“Well Pinkie it’s going to be Friday night.” Said Vinyl waving her hoof in the air, Alex’s hears were pointing at Vinyl’s place listening to Octavia’s music.

“Alex did you hear me?” asked Vinyl has nudge Alex, Alex looked at Vinyl.

“Just because my ears are pointing to Octavia’s music does not mean I’m not listening to Vinyl.” Replied Alex has his ears twitched. Pinkie Pie never noticed that Alex’s ears twitched to every sound, so Pinkie Pie just stared at his ears.

“Pinkie Pie what are you looking at?” asked Rainbow Dash waving her hoof in front of Pinkie’s face.

“Well Alex’s ears of course silly, his ears move to every little sound.” Said Pinkie has she moved Rainbow’s hoof out of the way to keep looking at Alex’s ears.

“Pinkie my ears all ways move so I can hear my prey when I’m hunting or when I want to listen to music. So yes I would like you to stop looking at them.” Said Alex growling a little bit, at Pinkie Pie, Rainbow needed to leave to go get Scootaloo and the other so they could meet up with Applejack and Babs.

Meanwhile Applejack, Gia, and Twilight were waiting for the train that’s bringing the meat apple trees as well as Babs. A young light blue earth pony came over and sat down next to Gia. Gia just smiled at the young filly; well she just smiled back at her. The filly was like Applebloom. Kind, understanding, and full of life, she just kept smiling at Gia.

“My name is Gia, and what is your name little filly?” asked Gia flicking her tail.

“My name is Willow Harpnote. Also I would to apologize for what my sister said to you and your friends today. Unlike her I really like anthromals, there really cool.” Said the young filly, has she looked at Gia. Gia just looked at Willow Harpnote, well Applejack walked over to sit next to Willow Harpnote.

“So your sister is Summer Song, little one. So how is that your sister hates anthromals and you don’t?” asked Applejack has she sat next to the young filly. Willow Harpnote just looked at Applejack.

“Well you see by big sister does not like anthromals because our family was living near the border were the anthromals lived, and one night the town we lived in was attacked and the anthromals killed  a lot of ponies to they could eat, and some of those ponies was my mother, my father, and other that we knew. I was upset, but I know every creature needs to eat, but she could never forgive, that is why she hates them. Me on the other hoof, I like to think of them as my friends.” Said Willow Harpnote has she turned to look at Applejack.

“Well you have kind heart to forgive like that.” Said Gia standing up to starch her legs and arms, Willow Harpnote just laughed a little bit. A train came by, but it was not the train they were waiting for. Some of the ponies getting off the train were scared of Gia, but she did not care.  Applejack just rolled her eyes at those ponies. Twilight and Gia were still talking to Willow Harpnote.

“So little one, what are you and your sister doing in Ponyville?” asked Twilight, Gia moved her ears over to some pony voice that she knew, she sniffed the air and growled softly.

“Well you see, we moved here, but with my sister seeing Gia and her friends, I don’t think we will stay here very long.” Replied Willow Harpnote, Twilight looked to see what Gia was growling at. Walking thru the crowd was Summer Song. Summer Song saw Gia and Twilight hanging out with her little sister.

“Willow Harpnote you get over here right now! There is no need for you to talk to that over grown cat, and that cat lover!” shouted Summer Song has she stomped her one of her front hooves down. Willow stood where she was.

“No. You have no right to call them names sis, just because your bitter about what happened two years ago, does not give you the right to make fun of Applejack and Gia.” Shouted Willow Harpnote stomping her hoof, Twilight had to think of something fast.

“Willow Harpnote, why don’t you go with your big sister, so I don’t have to put Gia on a collar and leash to stop this from turning into a fight.” Said Twilight has sat next to Willow. She just nodded her head and left with Summer Song. After a little bit the train with the apple trees and Babs came, just has Rainbow Dash came walking up to AJ with Applebloom and her friends.

Later that night, Applebloom and Babs were playing together; Big Mac and Granny Smith were cleaning the table. Neko and Applejack were in the barn together because Neko made AJ dinner with the blue flowers he found. Applejack ate her sandwich; well Neko was eating a meat apple.

“I heard that you where attacked by timber wolves, so I hope you were not hurt.” Said Applejack swallowing a bit of her sandwich, Neko flicked his tail.

“I’m okay Applejack.”

“That is good to hear sugar cube.”

“Applejack I heard from my sister that defend her, my friend, and me. I want to thank you for that. Applejack I…” said Neko drawing in the dirt. Applejack took a bite of her sandwich and kissed Neko as  he opened his mouth to say something. Neko was shocked, but he kind of liked it. Neko kissed Applejack back to him it was weird to him after they were done kissing, Neko knew that Applejack was a great friend. To Applejack, Neko was also a great friend, but to her she saw something more in Neko. Something like a good future mate.

“Applejack you do know that you just kissed a cat, so to others that would look very weird.” Said Neko grabbing Applejack’s hat and putting it on his head. Applejack just blushed a little bit.

“Sorry there that was a little fast. Would you date me Neko?” replied AJ lowering her head. Neko lifted her head up to his eye level.

“Applejack, I would to get to know you better. Also for us to be together one of us will have to become the other.” Said Neko taking his paw off of her chin, AJ just blushed even more.

“Neko why don’t we do this again durning the Grand Galloping Gala.” Said AJ taking anther bite of her dinner, Neko just smiled and nodded his head. Neko’s hears pointed to a part of the barn, Applejack turned to see what they were pointing at. Applebloom and Babs came out of the darkness.

“Applebloom, why did you come in here?” asked Neko flicking his tail. Applebloom gulped, Applejack walked over to her sister and Babs.

“Applebloom I hope you know you’re in trouble, and how long you have you two been here watching us?” asked AJ walking towards to two young fillies.

“We saw you two kiss and I know that I’m in trouble.” Replied Applebloom kinking some dirt around the barn, Applejack took a deep breath.

“Applebloom this dinner date and whatever we talked about was just for Neko and me, and you had to see what we were up two. You will not be able to have your friends come over for a week, and I’ll pick up from school every day this week, so I know you didn’t run off with your friends. As for you Babs, I know you are staying here for a while, so I’ll this easier one Applebloom I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to play with Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle this week.” Said AJ trying not to lose her temper, Babs and Applebloom just lowered their heads.

“AJ, I’ll be fine. You should let Babs hang out with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, because she does not get to see them as much as I do.” Replied Applebloom, Applejack rubbed Applebloom’s mane with her hoof.

“Applebloom that is very nice of you, so I’ll let Babs slide. However Babs you will now…I’ll think of something for you to do.” Said Applejack, Babs hugged Applebloom and the two young fillies ran off. Neko walked over to Applejack and smiled.

‘That was well done Applejack. I getting tried so I’ll see you tomorrow then” said Neko has he put a paw on her. To them hugged and went to their beds for the night.
