Apple Leaves
Chapter 4: Party!
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Hey, Honey sap, wake up!"
A voice rips me out of my dreams.
"Honey sap?"
Oh, it's Applejack.
"Honey sapple, wake up now, we gotta work before the party starts!"
Ugh, really? We have to work today? Oh man. But I shouldn't argue about it, they all gave me so much for me doing almost nothing.
"Ugh…Let me stand up, I'll be right there."
"I hope so, you don't want to miss out a bath after work do you?"
Applejack replies a little strictly.
"Of course not, we'll meet outside, ok?"
Applejack agrees and goes ahead.
I needed a few minutes to get up, but then I caught up to her.
"So, what are we going to do today?" I asked her.
"Well, the apples will ripe soon, so we need to prepare the carts to carry them. Two of them are almost broken, so we need to repair them. Can I count on you?"
"Sure, just show me the cart."
I don't really know, how to repair a wagon or something like that, but I guess it won't be too hard; I'll just look what I can do.
Applejack goes into a small house, it seems it is a storage for stuff that needs a fix, since there are several things in there that seem broken, and then comes out with 2 almost fallen apart wooden carts. Funny was, that they almost have the same issues; They both have an unattached wheel, a ripped off pulling rope, a broken bottom, and one of them had a missing back plank while the other one had a missing side plank.
"Alright, here they are. How about we make this a competition? Whoever is finished last has to do one thing the other pony wants you to do, alright?"
Sounds interesting, but I don't know what I would wish myself from Applejack; neither do I know anything about fixing a wagon. But whatever, It's all fun and games.
"Ok, I'm in!"
"Alright let's start, 3…2…1…GO!"
I start off by…Attaching this wheel here, let's get it back into its place. I just have to put it here, and then stick the connection into there…Alright! Now for fixing the pulling rope, let's see. I go over here, get myself some rope, tie it onto it…Done! Now for -
"Finished! Looks like you owe me one, haha!"
She giggled a little, while she interrupted my thoughts.
"Looks like it, yes."
Oh man, why did I even do this? I had no chance in the first place. Whatever, I just hope I don't have to do something crazy.
"How about another picnic after Pinkies party? I can say, that I really enjoyed the first one.
Well, I have to do what she says. And to be honest, I really enjoyed it as well.
"Ok why not. But let me fix the wagon first, I'm almost done.
Applejack smiled, as she answered:
"Ok, we'll meet in front of the house alright? I'll go and have my bath. See you there, Honey!"
"Alright, see you!"
Now, all I gotta do is get a little wood and fix the bottom of the cart. So I get two planks, and fix it with them. Afterwards I go back in, where I find Big Mac outside of the building.
"Hey, Big Macintosh, is Applejack finished with her bath?"
I didn't expect him to fall out of his roster, which he didn't.
"Eeyup. She just went outside."
"Thanks, I'll go then."
I reply and do.
I open the door, and see the simple bathroom, filled with a toilet, a bathtub, and a hoof washer. L I let some water into the tub, and then step into it, starting to think about how awesome this day will be, and what will happen. A whole party just for me, damn! It's like a birthday party without the birthday!
After some time, I was finished, dried myself and went outside, where Applejack awaited me.
"Hey Honey, are you ready?"
I nod happily and we get started onto the direction of Pinkie Pies house.
I don't think I was more excited someday; this will be the best day of my life! …I guess, since I still don't remember everything yet. But somehow, this simple question made me smile even more than ever before.
On our way to Pinkie Pie's Party everything is as beautiful as always. There are even more flowers now, so everything is even brighter than before. Furthermore, this day is even warmer than any day before. All in all, everything was awesome.
As we pass the sofa and quills shop, I ask Applejack: "Who exactly even uses this store? I mean come on, quills and sofas? Don't you think that combination is a little odd?"
She giggles a bit and then replied: "Well, I guess Twilight helps keeping that shop alive I guess"
"Haha, yeah probably."
A few minutes later, we arrive at the eatable house which we had seen, as Applejack brought me to Twilights place. I surely wonder, if you can actually eat it, and if it doesn't rot or gets eaten by animals of some kind.
"Ooh, they're here, they're here!" Some voice says from the inside, and I would bet my life on that being Pinkie Pie.
The door opened, and I've been right; Pinkie jumps out of the house, and is hopping around a lot:
"Hi, you're finally here! We've waited for you! We got cake, and games, and music, and Gummy prepared something special for you, and you're going to love it!"
Pinkie's attitude just makes me smile, she's just as random as everyone describes it, the show AND the fandom! Her house pretty much resembles that from the inside as it does from the outside; Everything's brightly colored, and looks inviting and funny. You can almost taste the innocence.
"Hi there, all of you how are you?"
I ask around, and Pinkie just has to be the first to answer by yelling:
"Well, we had to wait for you, so until now it was almost a little bit boring, but now that you're here, we can finally party!"
Pinkie bounces up and down while she also bounces in the direction of the punch bowl.
"Wohoo, let's go!" Fluttershy…"Screams"
"Sounds good to me, what do you think, everyone?" Rainbow Dash yells, and everyponies response is a loud shout of their kind.
"Then let's PAR-TEY!" Pinkie screams, as she puts on a kind off fast party song of some kind, forming a chain with each other, and just dancing around.
We are partying for like 3 hours straight! I don't remember me being the kind of Pony that would like to dance, or do stuff like that but…Yeah it gets old, but it has to be said; I don't remember much anyways.
I also got to know them all a little better; the show described them perfectly. Twilight is a kind of socially awkward bookworm, while Rainbow Dash is like the direct opposite; She's really confident of her skills and sometimes overdoes that a little. But I guess, she really is pretty awesome.
Then there's Rarity; she's generous…If she wants to. She also is a true lady and doesn't like to get herself dirty, a unicorn with class, if you want it like that.
Fluttershy is…Quiet. She is shy, like her name would tell and she really speaks very calm.
Then there's spike. He really is very kindhearted and nice, and he actually gifted me a gem. I really didn't know what to do with it, so I told him to just eat it.
Well, last there's Pinkie. She's random. She's just…Well, Pinkie Pie. She loves parties, and fun, but she can really go insane if the conditions are right. I sure do hope I don't have to see that happen.
The party all in all is great and I really have a lot of fun. Actually, I think I could be a party pony haha! I really love dancing, and I got to dance with everyone of them.
Even though, I probably look like a total idiot while I do it, I still have fun.
I really have a good time right now, and I think there now really is NO way to make that better. If there is, then throw me into hot water and make a lobster out of me, I would like to know what it is and how to achieve that kind of epicness.
Anyway, everypony has a lot of fun and really enjoy them.
"Well, I don't like to pop your bubble, but we got to go now."
"Why do you have to leave already?" Pinkie Pie screamed with a confused look on her face. We are the first to leave, because I still owe Applejack that picnic.
"Well, that kind pony over here owes me something," She pointed into my direction, smiling a little.
"Well, what does he owe you?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she looked as curious as the rest.
"Hehe, I lost a bet and now I owe her a picnic in the moonlight."
I reply and blush a little.
"Oh my, that sounds very nice." Fluttershy whispered as calm as always.
"We won't stop your plans, so what are you waiting for?" Twilight Sparkle asks.
"Alright then, let's go honey! See you guys later!" Applejack yells in reply to twilight
I nod, and we get going, waving goodbye to everypony. It seems they still got some cake left, and just party on. But seriously, I don't mind it. I close the door, and we start walking.
We are going through the city yet again, looking at the stars. As we are there, Applejack breaks the silence with a question that I'd never really expected:
"Hey, Honey sap, I always wondered…If you would find out, that you actually belong somewhere else, what would you do? Would you leave Ponyville?" She looked curious, but also a little sad.
Damn, I really don't know. I love Ponyville, every single inch of it. I don't want to be anywhere else but…If my family misses me, my friends miss me…What should I do?
"I…Actually don't know, but to be honest…
I wouldn't mind living with that memory leak forever. I got friends, a job, a home...I don't even know if I could just switch to another place."
I really have to think about this. I…Love everything in my life at the moment. But, what if my real life is where I actually belong?
I mean…Everypony should know for him or herself, what's right or wrong, where your home is and where its not.
"Even though, I don't really miss anything, I wouldn't mind knowing my roots, but actually…My life feels complete. I'll stay here in Ponyville forever and never leave."
This is my home. I feel comfortable here. I got friends here. I got a job. Why in tarnation should I ever leave? My life is awesome and that won't change.
"I know it sounds selfish, but I really hoped to hear that." She steps closer to me, and leans against my shoulder. "I really got to like you a lot, Honey." I always wondered about that pet name, and now I remember what it means. I guess, she really likes me a lot.
And I like her just as much. I look into her beautiful eyes, pet her mane, and say: "So I guess, now that I'm sure of it, I can tell you the biggest reason, you. From the day you saved me, until today I always thought that you're special. You were so nice to me, even though you didn't even know me. Hell, I don't even think that anything I had as a so called "life" before, was even worth protecting it. And whatever brought me here, I'll have to thank that one a lot.
Thank you once again."
After that, she smiles to me, and just whispers:
"No problem, honey." She reaches out, and she hugs me.
I know, I don't remember anything, but I surely know that this was the most intense emotion I ever felt in my entire life. I hug her as well, and she closes her eyes and lays her head on my shoulder.
She just stays here, smiling and hugging me, for like a whole minute long.
Then, something even more magical happens. She pulls her head back, looking into my eyes, and then closes them while coming closer to me.
I close my eyes as well, knowing that this will be the best moment ever. And it is; our lips touch, and a shock runs through my whole body. I feel like I could fly without any magic or wings. It feels like, the whole world stops at this moment, and the few seconds our lips touched felt like years. Years filled with love.
I came to Ponyville, so that I can stay.
"Wow…I didn't think the evening would turn out like this. But I am really glad it did. I..." – I got interrupted by Applejack; "Love always finds its way. And that's a good thing, isn't it?" She smiles, and speaks up yet again. "Promise me to always stay here, ok?"
Can I do that? Of course I can. I just got myself the best reason to stay here forever. I don't care what happens, I won't let Applejack hanging.
"I promise!"
I then reach over to her and hug her once more.
This all has been planned to be a picnic, and now it is a beautiful night, and I don't care about eating anything at the moment.
We stay there for like an hour, just gazing into the beauty of the stars, the moon and hugging and kissing each other. Everything is just perfect. We stand up, and get back to Sweet Apple Acres.
We silently went in, not wanting to wake anypony up, and then went into our rooms.
"Goodnight, Honey." She says and kisses me on the cheek.
"Goodnight, Applejack." I reply as I hug her and tell her once more: "I love you."
I go into bed, thinking about my best day EVER.
Nothing will ever get me out of here, and if something or somepony does try to get me away from here, they should be ready for a fight.
Life is full of wonders, emotions, and colors. And I just felt all 3 of them.
I know it gets old, but this time It's true: My life CAN'T be better now. Next Chapter: Love and hate Estimated time remaining: 44 Minutes
