My Little Pony: Uncommon Connection
Chapter 5: 5. Chapter 5: Sweet Apple Acres
Previous Chapter Next ChapterNot being out for more than 15 minutes André traveled down a dirt road, lost.
André (looking around): Okay…I think I may be a little lost. Hm, if I were a member of the Apple family where would I have put my farm?
Suddenly something hit the back of André's leg. He turned around and saw a young filly with a large pink bow on the back of her head. Her coat was pale, light grayish olive, her mane was brilliant amaranth. She was sitting on the ground rubbing her head with her hoof.
André: Oh hey, it's Apple Bloom.
Apple Bloom: Ah'm real sorry. Ah didn't watch where ah was go-(Looking up at André)-ing.
He crouched down to see if she was ok. He put on a friendly smile to assure her she had nothing to be afraid of.
André: Are you ok?
Apple Bloom: Y-yes, Ah'm alright. Wait a sec. You're one of those hu-men's Applejack told me about!
André: It's just pronounced human. But yes, I am.
Apple Bloom: Wow. This is the first time Ah've ever seen one before.
André: Do you know where Applejack is? I wanted to see her.
Apple Bloom: Sure do. Ah was on mah way back home to Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack's mah sister, she's probably buckin' apples as usual. C'mon ah'll take you there mahself.
André: Thanks a bunch.
Apple Bloom (skipping along the dirt road): Name's Apple Bloom by the way. What's your name?
André (following Apple Bloom): I'm André.
Apple Bloom: So you're André. The Babe fella must be somewhere else than.
André: Yeah. I'm surprised your sister told you so much about us.
Apple Bloom: Well sure, why wouldn't she? All of Ponyville knows who you two are, the "mysterious invading duo".
André: "Mysterious invading duo"? Ha.
Apple Bloom: No worries, you'll fit into Ponyville in no time. Ah wanted to introduce you and Babe to my friends later on. We're the cutie mark crusaders.
André: Aw, that sounds cute.
Apple Bloom: It's comprised of mahself, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. We try our hardest to find out what our cutie marks could be.
André: And I'm sure you all will discover it one day.
Apple Bloom: Do you have a cutie mark?
André: Oh no. Humans don't get cutie marks. We can get tattoos though, but I wouldn't recommend it. Tattoo's and cutie marks are completely different things anyway.
Apple Bloom: How so?
André: One you get through your talent and uniqueness the other you get through ink and pain.
Apple Bloom: Wait, you know how to earn a cutie mark?
André: Um…uh, yeah. Your sister told me.
Apple Bloom: Oh, neat!
André: Phew…
As the two happily went along the path together they eventually made it to Sweet Apple Acres.
Apple Bloom: And here we are.
André: Thanks a bunch Apple Bloom. It was good talking with ya.
Apple Bloom: Same here. Ah wish we could chat a while longer but I've got homework to do so ah'll catch ya later?
André: Defiantly.
Apple Bloom happily ran off as André waved goodbye to her. Applejack was pulling a wagon full of Apples and noticed André on the farm.
Applejack: André?
André (turning to Applejack): Hey, Applejack.
Applejack walks over to him with the wagon behind her.
Applejack: Well isn't this a surprise? What're ya doin here, Sugar cube? I thought you'd still be at Twilight's.
André: Nah. I thought I'd come out and pay you a visit on Sweet Apple Acres. I wanted to check on you. Besides Babe went to see Rarity at her boutique and I thought it'd be a good idea to come out and explore a little bit of Ponyville. Turns out it was just what I needed and a chance to stretch my legs.
Applejack: Aw shucks, that's mighty kind of ya.
André: Would you like some help around here? I wouldn't mind.
Applejack: Thanks for the offer but I'm done with my rounds of bucking for the mornin'.
André: Oh. Guess I came at the wrong time then.
Applejack: No need to worry, you can come by tomorrow and help if you'd like.
André: Of course! I'd love that.
Applejack: An extra pair of hooves are always needed around here, thanks a bunch André.
André: No problem AJ, I'll see if Babe wants to help as well. Oh yeah and we have hands by the way not hooves.
Applejack: Right, hands, got it.
Out of the blue a rainbow streak rushed passed Applejack and tackled André onto the ground, it happened so fast it took Applejack a second to realize André wasn't in front of her anymore.
André (hitting the ground): Ow!
Rainbow Dash (standing on top of André): Ok! What were you doing with Applejack? Were you putting a curse on her or something? Applejack quickly ran over to Rainbow Dash and got her off of André.
Applejack: Rainbow! What in the hay are you doin!?
Rainbow Dash: Protecting you from the human!
Applejack: Protect? He only came out here to ask if he could help buckin apples!
Rainbow Dash: Sure he did. I heard humans earn the trust of ponies and then once they do they put them under some weird hypnosis that turns us into their dinner!
André: …Um, what?
Applejack: Rainbow that doesn't make any sense. Who told you that?
Rainbow Dash: Derpy.
André: Wow.
