G-Apple

Appeloosa

He stuck his head out the window, enjoying the feeling of the wind threw his mane. He loved the train very much, and he couldn't help but wonder what it was going to be like to live at Sweet Apple Acres with the other half of his family. The sound of the door sliding open behind him forced him to pull his head back in, "Oh, Hey dad." he said shaking his mane so put it back in place. "How long till we get to PonyVille?"

“Not very long at all son.” His father stated rumidging threw one of the lugadge containers in search for something that seemed important to him. “We should be there by this afternoon, and by tonight we should be settled at the Ranch."

G looked out the window, the seanery changing rapidly, "You don't think they'll blame us do you?" he placed his chin on the window sill as he said this. "NoPony blames us Green... it was and accident."

G turned to look at his father, “G… my name is G now dad.” He pouted a bit, “I already told you that.”

His dad only smiled and trotted over to nudge him lovingly, “Yeah alright… G-Apple the pop star…” he messed up the Colt's mane with a strong Ranch Worker’s hoof. “Just remember that your family is what is important right now.”

G nodded, "Yes dad I understand." he said tne placed his head against his father's neck, "I miss mom..."

His dad lowered his head so that his chin rested on the young ponie’s back, “I miss her too.” They held eachother for a while, then FruFru nudged his son, “Take a nap Green… let the time pass.”

G lowered his ears and made a face, “Dad…”

He only chuckled, “It will take me a while but I’ll get it…” he pushed his son back and placed a blanket on him.  “Rest… it’s been a long day for you.”

G closed his eyes and sighed, before long he had fallen into a deep sleep.

A few hours later he was startled awake by the train comming to a full stop, his father was nowhere to be seen and there was only the light smell of dirt to acompany him. He stretched and exited the car, it was colder than it had been a while ago, or perhaps that was the effect of the blanket.

G found his father in the dining car, enjoying a light dinner, "G, awake already?" G nodded and gave a yawn, "We'll be getting off the train soon, so I suggest you get your pack."

"What about the rest of our stuff?" G asked taking an orange slice from his father. "They will deliver it." he stood and stretched his neck, "com on, I bet my brother is already here waiting for us."

"Uncle Crumb?" G asked fallowing his dad back to the luggage car.

"The one and only." his father responded taking both packs then placing one on G's back. "Come on it's rude to make them wait."

G fallowed his father off the train to where his uncle stood waiting for them. He smiled and that is how G recocnized him. He hadn't seen his uncle in so long that he had almost forgotten what he looked like. Next to him stood a chubby Pegasus Colt with red hair and freckles. "FruFru, it's been far to long." the big brown Stallion stated giving his brother a hoof bump. It was then that G observed that his father was taller than his uncle by a noticable amount.

As the two brown Stallions caught up G turned his attencion to the little Pegasus who he could only assume was his cousin. "Um, hi..." he said with a slight smile.

The colt looked up at him, "Hi." was his only responce.

"My name is Green, but I like to be called G." the colt was silent, G blushed, "W-what is your name?"

The colt blinked slowly befor answering, "Mini Muffin." he then took a step toward G his face holding a curiouse expression, "Why are you so skinny?"

G blushed scarlet not exactly sure how to answer something like that, "w-well, I'm not sure."

Mini blinked slowly once more then smiled, "I like you." G smiled back, "Uh, thanks."

"Come on Colts." Came Uncle Crumb's voice a short distance away. Both colts turned to look at their fathers right before they galloped over to them.

G looked up at the Stallions as they lead the way from The train station. What did this new life hold in store for him, he hoped that it would be at least a little better than it had been for the past year. Next Chapter: Fluffy Cakes Estimated time remaining: 14 Minutes
