Flim and Flam are twins who've always had big dreams. Their latest was the Super Speedy Cider Squeesy 6000. But now, it is nothing more than a collection of mechanical junk. The gig was Flim's idea, and he feels an overwhelming sense of guilt for its failure. Now, the brothers find themselves stranded in the middle of a country road, with their whole world literally crumbling before their eyes. Choices must be made, and lines must be drawn. It won't be easy.
This story takes place shortly after the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy episode. Just a one shot, slice of life look into the brothers. I've written it to be a prequel to my upcoming Applejack/Flim romance An Honest Life. It'll be a while before it's written down, but I wanted to share this prequel with you none the less. I hope you enjoy it!
There comes a moment in everypony's life when they find out what they are meant to do. For Flim and Flam, that moment stems from a most unexpected place.
It seemed a simple idea at the time; a get rich quick scheme cetain not to fail. But, after the incident in Ponyville, any chances of an easy profit are wiped away. With nowhere to go, and no funding, it's not going to be an easy fix. What now?
Honesty meant the world to Flim, something Flam could never see. On his own for the first time in years, Flim fights to prove his sincerity. A chance encounter with Applejack leads to a surprising offer. Could this be the opportunity he needs?
