Flim and-Applejack!?
Chapter 2: Introductions over cider
Previous ChapterApplejack was currently wrapping bandages around Flims wounds, Big Mac had gone to pick up what Flam threw out of the cart. While Applebloom and Granny Smith run the stand. She finished off the last bandage and then rushed downstairs to get an ice pack.
As she re-entered the room and placed the icepack over his black eye, she saw his hoof start to twitch a bit. She then saw his eyes start to blink. She then looked back and saw Big Mac holding all the books and papers on his back.
"Put 'em on tha desk there." Applejack said.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said as he put it onto the desk, he then walked out of the room. Applejack then looked back at Flim who put his hoof against the icepack.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Ya took quite a beatin' there. Ya got bruises and cuts. Ya also got a black eye." She said. Flim chuckled a little bit.
"Well that sucks." He said.
"Hey, Applejack. How are your family and friends going to react to me? I mean I did try to take over the farm." Flim said.
"No, ya brother did. You were just pulled in." Applejack said, she knew, he told not one lie when he explained himself.
"Yeah, but will they believe me?" He asked.
"Ah'll tell 'em. You on the other hand need ta rest." She said, Flim tried to get up, but Applejack's hoof and strength stopped him.
"Ya ain't goin' anywhere until ya get some rest." Applejack said. Flim was about to argue, but saw Applejack's face mixed with concerned and seriousness.
"Alright." He said as Applejack left the room to join and help the stand. A few hours later, Applejack came back into the room to see Flim sitting on the bed and stretching out a bit.
"Ya seem ta be fit ready ta go. but are ya sure your ok?" She asked.
"Don't worry, I can get through." Flim said.
"Okay then, ah'll introduce ya to my friends and family." Applejack said, Flim's eyes shrunk in fear.
"Are you sure they'll like me?" Flim asked. Applejack smiled and grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't worry, ya'll be fine. Ah told them about Flam and what he did." Applejack said, Flim sighed in relief. Then smiled at her.
"Alright, lets go." Flim said.
The two walked down the stairs and outside where all the ponies had gone except Applejack's family and friends, apart from Applebloom. The ponies where all sitting at a table, drinking mugs of cider. Once they saw Flim and Applejack, they all stopped talking and waiting for them to arrive. As the two arrived at the end of the table.
"Everypony, this is Flim." Applejack said, Flim waved awkwardly. Just then, Rainbow Dash flew up into his face.
"How do why not know he's just tricking us?" She asked, Twilight quickly pulled her back.
"Calm down Rainbow. Applejack told us herself, and don't you remember what element she is?" She asked, Rainbow stopped struggling and sighed.
"Fine, I'll wait." She said as she sat down and took a chug of her cider.
"Look, why don't I introduce y'all ta Flim here. Okay?" Applejack said.
Everypony nodded, some less then others.
"Alright, Flim. This here is mah friend. Twilight Sparkle." Applejack said as the two walked up to the purple unicorn. Flim and Twilight both shook hooves.
"It is nice to meet you miss Twilight. I'm sorry if I've offended you anyway." He said.
"Oh, just Twilight or Twi is fine. And it's nice to meet the real you." She said, the two then walked over to Pinkie Pie. Who was practically jumping in her seat.
"This here is Pinkie Pie."
"Hi, I-"
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! It's nice to meet you! I'm happy your meanie brother can't hurt you anymore! I can't wait to have your 'welcome to Ponyville' party!" She said, right before gulping down an entire mug. The two then walked over to Rarity.
"This here is Rarity."
"Nice to meet you ma'am." Flim said.
"It is nice to meet you dear. That vest and scarf are just perfect on you." She said. They then walked over to Fluttershy.
"This is Fluttershy." Applejack said.
"Hi, pleasure to meet you." Flim said, Fluttershy just squeaked and whispered.
"I-I'm Fluttershy." They finally came to Rainbow Dash.
" and you probably know by now, but this is Rainbow Dash."
"Hey there." Flim introduced himself.
"Yeah, yeah." She said taking another sip of her drink. Applejack rolled her eyes as the two went up to Big Mac.
"This is mah brother, Big Macintosh. Or Big Mac for short."
"Yeah, sorry about the competition. I never wanted to take this farm off you." Flim said, afraid of what the huge stallion would do to him.
"Eeyup." The stallion said. Flim was a bit shocked by this answer but he and Applejack moved onto the final pony, Granny Smith.
"And finally, ah'm like ya ta meet Granny Smith." Applejack said, Flim sweating with nervousness.
"Um...h-hello ma'am." He said. Granny Smith just squire ned his eyes at him for a while. Silence dominating the area. Right before she started to laugh and pull Flim into a headlock.
"Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres." She said as she let go and took a sip of her cider. Flim whispered over to Applejack.
"No offence, but is she a bit tipsy at the moment?"
"Possibly, ah don't even know." She said. The two the went back to the end of the table. Applejack got two mugs out, filled them with cider and brought them over to the end of the table and out them down. The two sat down and took one mug each and took a sip from it.
"Man, this is way better then That stuff Flam made." Flim said.
"How?" Applejack asked.
"He'd chuck in a huge amount of flavours. Without them, wouldn't taste good." Flim said.
"So Flim. Applejack tells me you invented that machine." Twilight said.
"Yes, but the cider making part Flam added on himself." Flim said.
"So what is it?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, I wanted to make something to make transportation quicker. So I got a steam engine from a broken down train, got a large cart, four seats, and other parts. I then put them together and finished it. But before I could do anything with it, Flam found out, and then came up with the idea." Flim said, taking another sip from his cider.
"So that thing was just meant to make ponies travel faster?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah." Flim said.
"That's kinda mean." Pinkie said.
"He was. He's been pushing me around ever since I stupidly joined him." He said, taking another sip of the cider.
"Well you have our sympathy's dear." Rarity said, all the ponies nodded. Except from Big Mac, who just said 'eeyup', Granny Smith who just nodded slowly, and Rainbow just grunted.
"Thank you all." He said. The girls smiled at him. Applejack then talked to Big Mac.
"Um...Big Mac. Ah was wonderin'. If Flim can stay here. Ah'm sure he wouldn't mind working out in the fields." She asked. Flim overheard, looked at Big Mac and nodded. He looked at Flim with a stare, then looked back at Applejack.
"Eeyup." He said as he took a sip of his cider. Flim and Applejack looked at each other and high-hoofed.
"But ya gonna have ta clear it up with Granny Smith, once she stars thinkin' straight again." He said, causing both Flim and Applejack to gulp. Meanwhile Rarity had observed the two, a devious grin grew on her face.
The ponies then all talked to Flim about them, with an exception of Rainbow. The group discussed and laughed as they drank there cider in the nice weather of Sweet Apple Acres.
