PS
Sorry this chapter is so short, I wanted to make it longer but I just felt that ending this at that scene will be better.

Derpy and Blaze were sitting at the couch in awkward silence averting each other eyes, Blaze was focusing his sight on the ticking clock, watching as seconds flew by.

“I-I’m sorry, I don’t know why it happened.” Derpy said blushing hardly, she couldn’t remember being so embarrassed before, she flinched as Blaze gently put his hoof on her shoulder.

“Hey no problem, let’s just pretend it never happened.” Derpy finally looked at him and nodded smiling, Blaze smiled back and while putting illusion back on his eye he stood up from the couch.

“Well it surely was fun here but I have to find this apple farm, so I think I’ll better go.”

“Oh yea, of course.” She said with a small portion of sadness in her voice, which didn’t go unnoticed by Blaze.

“Hey Ditzy.”

“Yeah?”

“Maybe you want to hang out tomorrow? I mean, if you have some free time.”

Derpy smiled and nodded in joy, seeing her this happy made his heart melt a little ‘She looks so adorable when she’s happy’ he thought.

They walked together towards Derpy’s doors, they made their goodbye’s and Blaze left her house, he hoped nopony saw him leaving her home like this, he might be kinda asocial, but he knew that sight of bandaged stallion leaving mare’s house might produce some weird rumors.

He started trotting forward, after few minutes he stopped and face hoofed.

‘Why didn’t I ask her where this Celestia forsaken farm is?'

After swearing over himself for few moments, he decided that trying to find it will result in him wandering all over Ponyville for rest of the day, so instead of trying to find it, he simply started to walk forward, hoping to find it sooner or later.

And so he walked, for 10 minutes.

20 minutes.

Hour

2 Hours.

And he finally gave up.

He looked around for a place to rest a little and think of what to do, he was in the park full of other ponies, and then he face hoofed again.

‘I was walking around for 2 hours and didn’t think of asking a random pony about this farm, and they are saying that Derpy is dumb.’

He calmed himself down and walked towards first pony he saw, it was small yellow filly with red mane, she didn’t have a cutie mark.

“Hello.” As he greeted her she turned around and smiled

“Howdy mister, can Ah help you with something?”

“I hope you do, you see I’m new here and right now I’m trying to find the place I’m supposed to stay at.”

“And Ah guess ya can’t find it right?”

Blaze nodded in slight embarrassment, he never had good field orientation, back in Canterlot it took him 2 months to finally learn how to move around the castle without getting lost, of course he’s condition gave Princess Luna a lot of occasions for some pranks.

“No problem mister, just tell meh where ya’ll wanna go and Ah’ll show ya the way.” She said smiling wide, Blaze always liked children, seeing her smiling like this made him calm down and smile in happiness.

“Thanks, the place is called “Sweet Apple Acres” it’s local apple farm, you know where it is?”

Her smiled vanished quickly and her expression changed from happiness to confusion.

“Ya’ll staying at Sweet Apple Acres?”

“Yup, that’s what Princess Celestia suggested as a good place to lodge at during my stay in Ponyville.”

Her ears perked up and her smiled returned.

“Ya are a student of Princess Celestia like Twilight?”

Blaze flinched a little at mention of super-boring unicorn and said.

“Nope better, I’m best student of Princess Luna, the name’s Midnight Blaze, nice to meet you.” He smiled and held his head high showing his pride of being her student.

Filly was now beaming.

“Mah name is Applebloom mister Blaze, and Ah perfectly know where Sweet Apple Acres are.”

“Really? That’s great. Can you show me the way?”

Applebloom nodded and slowly trotted away, Blaze following her.

‘Why didn’t I think of this earlier? Well whatever, ok so we got this problem out of the list, after I’ll get to the farm I’ll get over with all formalities and paying for accommodation and then, I guess I have to make few more friends and Princess will let me go back to Canterlot.’

Blaze smiled, finally things were going his way, he still didn’t like the idea of being here, but he was starting to hope that his stay won’t be so bad after all, as they walked through Ponyville everypony they greeted them friendly.

‘Seriously, atmosphere here is so different from Canterlot, well any bigger city in particular, but still, wow, and this air, I don’t have any idea why, but it just seems so much better than in Canterlot.’

He inhaled as they walked through the streets in silence, he was constantly looking around trying to memorize the way to the farm, he enjoyed their walk, the more he knew about this place the more he liked it, there were many shops he wanted to explore later, especially the one called “One hundred and one Pranks for all times and ages!”

After some time he finally saw it, huge field of apple trees going almost behind the horizon, he gasped at this sight and Applebloom lifted her head up with pride noticing his reaction.

“What do ya think huh?”

“I-It’s amazing, I never saw so many apple trees at the same place, just wow.”

Applebloom chuckled a little and motioned him to follow her.

‘Finally here, all right, my friendship studies shall start NOW!’

Full of energy and ambition he followed her towards huge red house in the middle of the orchard, he had huge hopes, what he didn’t know, is that the true friendship isn’t as easy to build as he thought.

But he will soon learn about it.
