Applejack let out a groan as she opened her eyes, there was a blue sky above her. White clouds floated above her before she sat up taking a look around. She saw a male with black hair staring up at the sky. He wasn’t moving, creeping closer to him she rested a hand on his shoulder causing him to freak out.

“What’s going on?” he asked trying to back away only to panic as he stared at her some more. Applejack knew she had heard his voice somewhere before, that’s when it occurred to her.

“Flash Sentry?” that seemed to scare him a little. “It’s me, Applejack. Ah know we don’t talk much and this is all new to yah but yah really have to remain calm.”

“What is going on?” he asked panting slightly his chest heaving before looking around. “Where are we? Last thing I remember was….”

“Canterlot Castle was under attack.” Applejack respond climbing to her feet. “Sombra.”

“He was with ponies who looked like you.” Flash said trying to do the same but stumbling a bit. “Who were they?”

“Reflections, Ah suppose. A darkness we had hidden inside ourselves.” replied the farm pony rubbing her arm. “Guess we should take a look around.”

Flash nodded his head as he was helped to his feet and steadied. They moved around the area they were in for a bit before finding some locals.

“Hey there!” one of them called waving them over. “You new here?”

Applejack froze up, she knew the last time she had met the locals she told them the truth and was used for her powers. However she knew the consequences of lying. Flash Sentry looked at her before saying. “Yeah. I’m Flash Sentry this is my sister Jack.”

“Short for Jacqueline I suppose.” Applejack was taken back that Flash was lying to them. He didn’t know these people and he had just lied to their faces. He had a smile on his face as he responded. “Yup. We came here looking for work. You wouldn’t happen to know anybody who would take a few old fashioned people like us would you?”

“Well if you mean old fashion by you prefer paper over pad then you might have found the right family.” the man said, the farmpony took a closer look at him and his wife noticing their withered skin and faded hair. “We aren’t as young as we used to be, thought we had some energy left to run this farm but it’s hard sometimes. Hired on a farmhand but he’s more of a bodyguard against animals. We had a nice place on Earth but when we heard that some land opened up here we jumped at a chance to have some land like we’ve always dreamed of. Anyways I’m Gideon Shepard and this is my wife Abigail. Welcome to Eden Prime.”

“Yeah, spent every cent getting here.” this continued to baffle the Bearer of Honesty, she couldn’t understand how he was able to lie so easily. “Would you mind if we helped out? Just until we manage to get a more stable job. My sister is pretty good at farming.”

“And what about you sweetie?” Abigail asked with a smile on her face, Flash rubbed the back of his head saying. “Me? I’m just my sister’s protector, I’m mean I can chase off the wild animals or something if you don’t mind.”

“You can help me out.” Gideon told him with a nod of his head. “I take it she’s your adopted sister?”

“I’m her adopted brother. I was taken in by her parents with my younger brother. She wanted her own farm and I was sent along to make sure she didn’t get in trouble.” Flash chuckled nervously. “I wasn’t really good at farming back at home either.”

“Don’t worry kid, there’s more to this life than growing plants.” Gideon told him before waving them both inside. “First rule of this house is: Don’t betray the family. It means in no way, shape or form is there to be any harm dealt to this family inside or outside of this house. Unless it is accidentally ruining a field, that I can understand if it happens once in awhile. Do you understand this rule?”

“Yes sir.” the two ponies replied as they followed him inside. Abigail rolled her eyes and shook her head as she went about preparing dinner for the two. She knew that her 'husband' had a soft spot for kids, and those two had children written all over them.
