***\Chapter Three/***

A couple of days later Applejack had to help Fluttershy with rounding up some escapee bunnys so Magenta helped Big Macintosh with the fields. He plowed and she walked behind him and planted seeds. She had never heard him say more than "eeyup" and "nope". The only one she ever saw him speak to was either his sisters or Granny Smith. And while they were bucking apples last day, Appleblooms teacher, Cherilee, had come to visit. And to Magentas surprise, and disgust, Big Macintosh and Cherilee called each other things like pumpkin pie, smoochieboo, snuggiuggums, honeybear and other really awfully ugly-cute words. Magenta really resented couples who were like that and she couldn't do anything else but to watch and listen in horror. But Applejack just laughed and told her that it was an inside joke between those two. Apparently, Applebloom and her two friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, tried to hook Cherilee and Big Macintosh up because they felt sorry for Cherilee for being without a very special somepony on Hearts and Hoofs day. They mixed up a lovepotion they read about in a book, but something went wrong and Cherilee and Big Macintosh became two silly, lovey-dovey, yucky-kissy nincampoops. That story still brings some really good laughs and Big Macintosh and Cherilee always joke around about it when they talk to each other. Who could've guessed that Mr Serious and Nontalking actually had humour!

Magenta blowed her mane out of her face. This quickly became boring. Suddenly a loud, scraping noise came from the plow and Big Macintosh were forced to stop. He turned around and frowned. Magenta came forth to take a look. A huge boulder had broken up through the soil and the top of it stood in the way for the plow.

"Great, that will take all day to dig up" Magenta mumbled. Big Macintosh didn't say anything. He relieved himself of the plow and went to take a closer look at the boulder.

"How did you miss that?" Magenta took of the bags of seeds she had been carrying over her back and placed them next to the plow.

"'Cause it wasn't ther last week..." He said slowly and sounded a bit worried.

"Well, what do we do now? Dig it up?" Magenta asked and shook some dirt out of her tail. Big Macintosh hesitated for a couple of seconds, but then he answered;
"Not now. We'll have to go 'round it t'day, Ah'll try to get it fixed t'morrow" He gave the plow a prober lookthrough to make sure it wasn't too much damaged. Luckily it only got a couple of scratches. He put it back on again and they continued around the boulder.

It wasn't until nightfall they finished and Applejack returned. Big Macintosh told her about the boulder in the field. Applejack frowned.

"But, it wasn't there last week?" She asked sceptically.

"Nope" Big Macintosh answered. "Ah'm tellin you. Ther's sumthin fishy goin on here"

Applejack shrugged. "Or maibe ya just missed it again, y'know" she said. Big Macintosh looked offended. "AJ, y'know Ah NEVER miss anythin like that! 'Specially not twice!" He said, sounded a little put off.

Magenta frowned. Missed it again? He missed something like that before? But Big Macintosh were the most hardworking and pedantic stallion she ever met before! He could notice a speck of dirt on a dark sweater from miles away! She wanted to ask them both about it, but she was getting tired. She weren't used to this kind of work before. She decided to ask them tomorrow. Plus, this was the first time she had heard something else than calmness in Big Macintosh's voice.

The three ponies returned to the farm. Magenta entered the house first. All the lights were off and it was pitch black in there. She turned on the lights.

"SURPRISE!"

Magenta jumped up in the air when she were met by half of Ponyvilles citizen, everyone together in a party decorated room. Pinkie Pie bounced her way to Magenta.

"Surprise! I knew you would be surprised! You should have seen your face! You know I promised you a welcome party, right? Well, HERE IT IS!" Pinkie's mouth were moving nonstop.

Magenta laughed. "But Pinkie, we had the welcome party yesterday, remember?" She told the pink pony. Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes.

"Hellooo? This is a SURPRISE welcome party! Duh!" She said like it was obvious and Magenta couldn't help but to laugh again. Suddenly Rarity came out from the ponymass.

"Darling, guess what I've got for you!" She said and held up a gift wrapped in red paper.

"Oh my Celestia! I told you you didn't have to make me a new coat!" Magenta said with tears of joy in her eyes when Rarity unwrapped the gift and took out a lovely, hot pink and light pink coat with silver collar. "T-thank you so much, Rarity!"

Rarity smiled when handling over the coat. "Oh darling, I just couldn't let any friend of mine walk around dressed in a dusty old coat all day with clear conscense!" She said and flung her mane over to the other side.

Magenta hurried up to her room and tried out her new coat. It was a bit longer than her old and seemed too delicate for her to be wearing it every day. She decided to only use it on special occasions. And today was a very special occasion.

She came down the stairs in her new coat and Rarity squeeled with joy.

"You look FABULOUS!" She said happily and hugged Magenta. Magenta thanked Rarity once again for the wonderful gift and joined the rest of the party.

It turns out Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and everypony else had spent all day arranging this party and Big Macintosh had agreed to keep Magenta busy so she wouldn't accidentally walk in on them and ruin the surprise.

Magenta started to feel sick after a while, probably too many cupcakes. She decided to walk out to get some fresh air.

Ouside stood a stallion and looked up at the sky. Magenta had seen him sometimes on the streets of Ponyville, but they had never greeted each other.

"Good evening Magenta, nice night out huh?" The stallion suddenly said. Magenta jumped, for he spoked so suddenly. A slight breeze passed and made the stallions dark brown mane rustle. His fur was light brown and his blue eyes glistened in the moonlight. Magenta noticed he had an hourglass for cutie mark. She wondered what his profession was.

"Yeah" She answered. "I've seen you around before, whats your name and how come you know mine?" She asked him. The brown pony didn't took his eyes from the sky.

"You can call me the Doctor, everyone else does" He answered after a while. What an odd name. "And Pinkie Pie has been delivering flyers all around the town with your name and face of them." Magenta nodded and felt a bit stupid for asking such an obvious question.

She nodded to the party.

"I think i'll be heading back now, are you coming?" She asked him. The Doctor turned his gaze from the stars and looked at Magenta, giving her a smile.

"Nah, I think I'll pass, too much noise. But thanks anyway" He answered and returned to look at the sky again.

"Right, see you around then" Magenta said and went inside again to join the conga line Pinkie started.

"Cheers!" The Doctor mumbled and kept looking at the stars, searching for something.
