Saving the town/ Love?
I got the location from the who I now know as the captain of the guard. The son and father left for canterlot so the royal guard would have to get them. I and mac weren’t happy to hear that but we left for the farm. We walked in silence until mac asked me a question.

“Hey do you want to get a few ciders when we get back to the farm. I know you’ve had a hard and we’ll get your bandages changed and you can get some sleep.”

I looked at him and sighed. “You know that sounds good but do you think we can just get to work. I want to get this work done and get out of here and find a place to be alone.” Mac stopped and I stopped and looked back at him. He was looking at me and I could see annoyance on his face. “What is it mac?” He looked at me and started to walk again and I followed him

“I’m just getting sick of hearing you say that. I don’t see why you want to be alone so badly but I know applebloom and her friends won’t be happy to hear that.”

I looked at him and then a head of us and saw diamond tiara waiting at the road leading to sweet apple acres. When she saw me and walked over to me and mac.

“Hey do you think I can talk to you for a second?”

I looked at her and then to mac. “Go on ahead mac I'll catch up.” He nodded and walked on a heard and I looked back to the mare.
“What can I do for ya tiara?” She looked around and then grabbed my hand and pulled me over to an ally. She looked down into it and then back to me.

“I over hear a few new stallions in town and they said the town was going to be attacked by the sellers. I also heard from the guard you took down four wanted slavers.”

I looked at her and leaned against the side of a building and looked at her. “Ok so what does that have to do with me?” She looked at me and she was shocked that I didn’t seem to care one bit. She was opening and closing her mouth like a fish.

“What do you mean what’s it got to do with you!?”

I smiled and put a hand on her shoulder and she looked at me. “If anything happens then I'll do my best to handle it. I need to know did they when the attack is going to happen?” She closed her mouth and started to think. I moved my hand back as she started to speck.

“Ya I think they said something about tonight.”

I knew that was going to be a problem and most of the guards have left the town. So I’m fighting an unknown number of enemies and I don’t know the weapons and armor. This could also be a good thing I could get another puppet. I looked back to her and I saw that the towns ponies were looking at me in fear. I sighed and looked back to her and she was smiling as she looked at me. “Uh ok I'll come back to the town before the sun falls and I'll handle it.” She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. She pulled back with a blush and ran off yelling her good bye. I was dumb founded and watched as she ran away.

“Wow she’s never like that with anypony.” I was surprised and whipped around and saw an older looking at me with a with a smile. I grabbed the handle of murasame and he put his hands up.

“Wow there I just saw you and my little girl over here. I just wanted to make sure she was ok so no need to fly off the wall.”

I let the sword go and looked at the stallion and he was looking me over. He put his hands down as he did. He walked closer and put a hand on my shoulder and smiled.

“Hey son how would you like a job?”

I raised an eyebrow and looked at him and he pulled his arm back. “What kind of job are we talking about?” He got a business face and I could see that he was a no fool.

“I want you to work for me as my daughter bodyguard. Word spreads fast in a small town and I heard of what you did. I also know your living on the apple family farm. I'll pay triple what they're paying you and I'll give you one of my rental homes.”

When he finished he held and hand out to me and waited for me to shake with a knowing smile. I looked at his hand and pushed it aside and walked out of the ally. I seemed to surprise him and he looked at me as I walked away.

“Wait where are you going?”

I stopped and looked back to him and he looked at me in shock. I turned and looked at him and started to talk. “I gave my word I’d work on that farm and I still have work to do there so for now I'll have to say no.” He looked at me for a few seconds and then smiled.

“I understand and I’m happy to hear that. You don’t find many colts who will keep their word. So I'll ask that once you’re done with that will you think on my offer?”

I nodded and he smiled and I turned back and started to run to the farm.

Night fall

I was sitting on top of the town hall and was waiting for the sellers. My mind however was still on the farm the apple family. When I ran back to the farm I meet mac outside the barn and told him what I had heard. He said that there was a reinforced so they could hold up in their until I get back. We started to stock the room with food and water and applejack came out and was still trying to get back on my good side. She would try and take the heavy things I carried. She didn’t even get mad when murasame’s sheath smacked her ass and tail. I felt my face blush when I remember the blushed she had on her face when I turned back to her. She just looked at me and she knew it wasn’t on purpose so she couldn’t get made. When I and mac finished moving the food and water we when in for dinner. Granny and applebloom made pies and a casserole. This time before I could take my plate and sit away applebloom took the plate and said I was eating with them. I told her no and then mac walked up behind her and took the plate and handed it to me. I thanked him and I eat near the table which seemed to make applebloom a little happy. When we finished mac moved them to the room as I left for the town.

“Crash!”

I came out of my thought when I heard the sound of a door being broken in. I looked over and saw a large group of dog-like people with cages with torches on them and some already had other dogs and ponies in them. I counted and saw twenty dogs and I drew murasame and jumped from roof to roof. When I was on the roof of the house they broke into I saw them carrying out. “SWEETIE BELL!” I yelled her name as I jumped down and cut the dog across the back killing it. I grabbed sweetie ball by the arm and pulled her into my chest and looked back to the shocked dog.

“Sweetie bell!”

I looked back and saw rarity in the door way with a knife in hand. She looked fine so I guess The one I killed was the only one in the house. I looked back to sweetie and saw she was in a loss fitting night gown and was looking up at me. “Get back in the house and you two get somewhere safe I'll handle this.” I let her go and she rushed back into the house and I saw rarity just looking at me and then ran in. I looked that the dogs and saw one in the group with two long swords on his side and a large axe in his hand. ‘I want this one for my collection.’ “Hey you with the axe you in charge of this group or do I just kill you all?”

“Ha-ha! You think can beat many by self-kill that one!”

I smiled and lunged forward when ten of the jumped at me. I killed the ten of them in the blink of an eye and shocked them all. I dash to the remaining nine and cut them all one the chest, arms and the neck and the curse was killing not a second later. Soon it was just me and the big guy and I smiled. “Well how do you like me now big guy?” He snared and started to run at me.

“Buck you demon!” I Sheathe murasame and grabbed yatsufusa and dropped my stance a grabbed the handle. I keep on foot in front and slide my other foot back and put the blade behind my back. When he was close I lunged at him and drew yatsufusa and cut him in half at the waist but he did manage to cut me on the left leg. His body started to swirl and then like the stallion was absorbed and the blade glowed.

“troy you okay?”

I looked back and saw sweetie bell and rarity were now out of there door and were looking at me. “I don’t know I think I am ok but I need to get my leg bandaged and we need to get the guards here to those cages open.” When I finished I dropped to one knee and they ran over to me and pulled me back up.

“We need to get you to the hospital.”

I stabbed yatsufusa into the ground and helped them push myself back up. “Ok but I don’t think I can walk can you please go and get them?”
“Yes sweetie stay with him and get a few hand towels to help stop the bleeding.”

Sweet did as she was told and got the towels and rarity and got the guards and the whole hospital staff. They said that I would have to stay off the leg for a day or two and don’t aerate the wound. “Damn how am I going to get back to the farm?”

“I won’t have you walking on that leg.”

I looked back and saw rarity and sweetie bell behind me. I used both of the swords and got myself standing before I started to fall. Rarity rushed over and grabbed my left shoulder and I hissed in pain. I grabbed her hand and forced it off the shoulder wound. She looked at me and then to her hand.

“Sweet sun your hurt in my then one place!?”

“Oh get over yourself I’m fine I’ve survived worst then this so don’t worry about me.” I stood up the best I could and stared to walk again.

“Wait can’t I at least offer you a place to sleep for the night?”

I stopped and looked back and she was smiling at me. I turned to her and she and sweetie bell were looking at me with a smile. “I don’t want to be a bother.” The looked at me and rarity walked over and helped me stand up.

“You’re not a bother now let's find you a place to sleep then I and sweetie can help you to the farm to tomorrow.”

I looked at her with a look of confusion. “Why are you helping me?” She looked at me as we walked and she seemed to wonder what I meant.

“Why wouldn’t you save my sister and the town I say we all owe you a debt.”

I didn’t say anything as she helped me into her house and up the stairs and into a bedroom. Sweetie bell and rarity helped me lay down on the bed and rarity promised to make me some new cloths. She and sweetie bell said goodnight and left the room. I laid down on the bed and looked at my sword beside my head. In the last two days I’ve killed and I’ve felt nothing when I took their life’s. I closed my eye and fell asleep and after some time I felt some touch my shoulder. I grabbed the hand and throw whoever it was onto the bed and grabbed their throat. I opened my eyes and saw it was sweetie bell and she was now in a T-shirt and jeans. I let her go and got up. “Sorry about that it’s natural reaction for me to do that when someone touches me in new areas.” She got up and rubbed her throat and looked at me.

“It’s fine after last night I can’t blame you. Now come on the apples are here and the princesses are too and they all want to see you.” I frowned and just sat down on the bed and looked at her. “I’m not going anywhere near a royal family member so please go and tell the two of them to leave me alone.” She looked at me like I was crazy and got off the bed and walked over to the door and looked back to me.

“I can say that but they may just come up here you know.”

I smiled and nodded to my swords. “I maybe wounded but I'll be damned if I go down without a fight.” The color on her face drained and we walked out of the room. I scooted over and grabbed murasame and waited.

Macintosh pov

It was early when I opened the door and we walked out and saw a group walking to farm. I grabbed a slag hammer and waited to see who they were and what they wanted. We didn’t have troy wasn’t here. I watched as a group of guards walked onto the farm and I put the hammer down. We walked out and they walked up to us and the in front had a let in his hand.

“This is from the princesses so please read this and then come to the town hall and miss rarity house.”

I nodded and they left the farm and I walked back to the house and opened the letter.

To the apple family please bring troy to canterlot and collect the bounty for the slaver gang. A total of ten-thousand bits and the ten acres next to the everfree forest. My sister also wished to meet him and ask him to join the guard.

Your princess celestia

I read over the letter and I knew troy would not join the guard. He doesn’t seem like the type to follow anything that doesn’t dance to the beat of his drum.

“Hey mac we need to go and find troy.”

I looked back and saw applebloom with a first add kit. I sighed and looked at her and waved my hand. “Ok go get applejack and well go ok.” She smiled and ran off and I saw a look of joy on her face. ‘ha-ha troy you’re really lucky that I like you or you’d never be near my sisters. Who knows I may very well have you as a brother in law one day.’ Applebloom and applejack ran back and we let for rarity’s. As we walked through town it was clear there was a large fight here.

“Applebloom you’re here!”

I looked to my right and I saw sweetie bell running over and I saw the door to her sister’s boutique broken. “Sweetie bell what happened here?” I looked back at her and she was talking at applebloom and didn’t hear me. Be we all looked at the sky when a dozen guard carriages landed and the princes' carriage landed behind them. They walked out of the carriage and looked around the town. When they saw us they walked over and looked at us. Princess celestia walked over to us and we bowed.

“Good day apple family We’re can we find troy?”

“He’s in rarity’s house and as a matter of fact we were on are way there.” They smiled we all walked over to rarity’s house. Sweetie bell ran up the stairs to get to get troy but when she came back down she looked at the princesses and gulped.

“I’m sorry princesses but he said for you to leave him alone and he’s not getting and doesn’t want you two close to him.”

I wasn’t surprised the way he acts and talked of the nobles of his old home. “I can’t say I’m surprised he’s not the type to listen to anyone noble or royal.” The princesses looked at me and so did my sisters and their friends.

“What do you mean big mac?”

I looked back to applejack and frowned. I told them all what he said happened to his sister and the noble burned her to death. I told them that he hates noble but I didn’t know why he hated royalty. When I fished talking applebloom and sweetie bell was crying and applejack, rarity and the princesses all had looks of horror on their faces.

“You know mac there are come thing’s that I tell you should stay with you.”

Troy pov

I didn’t wait and slowly got off the bed and used the swords as a crutch. I walked out of the room and down the stairs and I heard mac talking and telling him what I had said. I walked around the corner and looked at them. Applebloom and sweetie bell were crying and the rest looed horrified. “You know mac there are come thing’s that I tell you should stay with you.”

Everyone in the room looked at me and I saw a new princess she looked like her sister but her colors were blue and dark purple. She was wearing a black crown and was in a light blue dress and her eyes were teal if I’m not wrong. I stood up straight and looked at them all and applebloom and sweetie bell looked at me through teary eyes. “Don’t look at me like that it happened long ago and I’ve gotten my revenge long ago. But if you want to know why I hate the royalty is because I when before the empire’s ruler and he laughed as I was thrown out of his castle. He said we were just trash in his glories kingdom and he didn’t care about how many of us died. So when he would give me the justice I asked for I took it into my own hands. I killed the noble and his family and many others before I join the revolutionary army and got my swords here.” The room was silent and everyone looked at me with a mix of pity and shock.

“We cannot blame thee for thy actions. But we have come to this humble town to speck to thee.”

I looked at the new princess and she stood up and started to walk over to me. She was about a head taller than me so I looked up at her. “So you don’t blame me, uh well I can that least say your honest unlike some.” I looked at applejack and she looked away from me. I looked back to the princess and she looked at my wounds and to my swords.

“May we see thy swords?”

I tightened my hold on the swords and looked at her. “Sorry but no I don’t want to see any more needless deaths.” She and her sister and sweetie bell looked at me looked at the swords. “Ok let's go over this again.” Once again I told what the swords were and what they could do and I told them I already had two puppets.

“So thy sword can seal the bodies of thy enemies it kills and thy can used them to fight?”

“Yes it can and let me guess you want to see them?” She nodded and I saw everyone else did as well. “Oh I’m going to have a real hangover in a few minutes. Well I'll show you all if one of you can help me outside and help me stay standing.”

“I’ve got you.”

Mac walked over and throw and arm over my shoulder and helped me walk outside and over to the open area outside the town. Many of the towns ponies followed and many thanked me for saving the town and many mares would ask to see my wounds. Diamond tiara even walked up to me and asked if I was alright. “Ya diamond I’m fine so don’t worry about me.”

“Are you sure your chest and leg are all bandaged up and it looks like you can’t even walk on your own.”

As we talked applebloom walked over and saw diamond talking to me.

“What the buck are you doing here?”

Mac and applejack looked back to her and yelled.

“Applebloom what did you just say?”

She walked in front of me and mac and looked at tiara. She grabbed her and pulled her away from me. I looked at her face I saw what I was sure to be jealousy in her eyes. “Applebloom it’s fine please I don’t mind her being here.” She looked at me and puffed her cheeks and let her go.

“Fine.”

I nodded and we left what just happened alone for now. We walked to the open area and I drew Yatsufusa and the purple sphere started to spit out lightning. Soon the black bodies raised from the ground and my two puppets stood tall ready to fight. “Well how was that?” mac helped me turn and I saw the shock on there and the whole towns faces. The blue one walked over and looked at them. I smirked and used the stallion to smack her ass and she jumped and yelped.

“Thy dare to touch us in such a way guards kill him!”

I laughed and she looked at me and snarled. She walked over to me and started to yell.

“What has thee laughed at us!”

I keep laughing and pointed at the bodies. “Did you forget their both already dead you can’t kill what’s already dead. Those so part of their minds stay in tack and at time they will act on it if I let them.” She looked at me for a second and then got what I meant and looked back at the sword.

“So thy control their actions correct?”

I smiled and looked at her and she frowned. “Yep I could have made him do it or he did it with what little will he has left guess we’ll never know.” She looked at me and then reached for the sword and I pulled it back. “What do you think you’re doing?” She looked back to me and then did something I never thought would happen. She peached me out of mac’s hold and into a tree. I was now pissed and I call my puppets over to me. The dog and stallion ran over and helped me up. I looked up and looked at her with a lot of hate and she flinched back. “You just fucked up bitch dog, swift kill her.” They did as I said and charged the princess and her guards jumped in between them and the princess but were soon all killed off. But the puppets were stopped by a golden wall and I saw the other princess was keeping the puppets away from her sister. But the puppets just started to attack the wall and small cracked were forming on it.

“Please Sir troy I’m sorry for the way my sister has acted. So please pull your puppets back and we can talk about this.” I looked at her for a second and then back to my puppets. They were only making small cracks so I pulled them back. “Come back over here and help me were leaving this town.”

Applebloom pov

I couldn’t believe what I just saw princess luna had just punched troy into a tree and troy ordered his puppets to kill her. The puppets kill the thirty guard that were with them and then ran for her. But the fighting stop when princess celestia asked for a peaceful end and troy pulled his puppets back after a second later he said he was leaving.

“No!”

I looked to my right and saw diamond tiara was still here and had heard what he happed said. I looked back to see luna walking over as troy put yatsufusa away and she started to talk.

“We order thee to apology for the action even if thee had no control.”

Troy looked at her and then turned his back on her. He was using murasame as a walking stick and the princess followed him.

“We gave thee and order!”

“I don’t care so fuck out!”

‘HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!’ The whole town was quiet as the two of the stared death at each other.

“Tell you what kill me and the puppet disappears. Go on if you can kill a child princess blue ha-ha.”

“Sweet bucking apple tree he did not just say that to the princess of the night.”

I looked to my right and saw my sister and she was looking at troy like he was a mad stallion.

Troy pov

“Come on do it if you can or are you scare to finish a fight you started?” She looked at me and smiled.

“Fine if thy wants to died so bad then come to the castle when thy wounds heal and we will saw thee thy place under our hoof.“

I smiled and walked over to her. “How about we make this inserting if you win then I'll do any one thing you want but the same will be the same if I win.” I held my hand out and she smirked and shook it.

“Every well young colt.”

When I let her hand go she and her sister and their guards disappeared. I turned and saw the applebloom and tiara were running over to me. When the two of them ran over to me applebloom jumped on me and tiara did as well. “Ah my shoulder!” They hopped off of me and applebloom started to look over my shoulder.

“We didn’t open the wound back up did we?”

I smiled and used my swords to help push myself up and smiled. “No your good but I think I need to go and take a take cure of what work I can do.” The two of them looked at me like I was crazy and then applebloom sighed.

“At least wait till the wound closes for good.”

“Deal.” I spent two days in bed and granny offer the farm as my home for what I have done for the apples and the town. I told her I would think of about it and she also gave her the bits for the slaver I killed and another ten-thousand her the sealers gang. But now I was up for the first time in two days and I was walking around town with appleblooms helps.

“Your back on your feet troy.”

I looked to my left and saw diamonds tiara in a white and pink dress. The dress when down to the top of her knees and had an open top over her chest. “Hey tiara how have you been?” She smiled and walked over to us and I looked at applebloom who just had a neutral face. I looked back to see tiara right in front of me and I looked at her.

“You asked how I’ve been right?”

I nodded and she started to talk again.

“Well it’s been nice and I’ve thought about my actions and I think that I'll be much nicer now.”

I smiled and moved a hand from my sword handles and rubbed the top of her hair. She blushed and pulled her arms back into her chest with a smile on her face. I saw her tail was also swinging left to right behind her.

“Oh look it’s the apple slut and the animal.”

I knew that voice and I smiled at hearing it. I took my arm from applebloom’s hold and moved my other hand from tiara’s head and turned to that brat and ten stallions. “I'll be the coward finally shows his face.” He looked at me and pulled out two knives and I drew murasame and pushed applebloom and tiara behind me.

“I see that you’ve found and a couple of friends while I was gone. But you also got my father arrested so get ready to die you demon.”

When he said that the ten stallions charged and I smiled wider and ignored the pain in my leg ad ran at them. In the blink of an eye I cut half of them on the chest and then stabbed through one and into another one. The three left standing ran away screaming and I pulled my sword out of the two die stallions and looked at him. He was looking at me with total anger and then took a step back. I dropped my smiled and started to walk over to him. “You stay there and you die peacefully run and I'll break your neck and I let you drown in your own blood.” I tripped over one of the dead bodies and dropped the knifes.

“Get away!”

I shook my head and he looked at the sword in front his face and grabbed it and it cut into his hand and the black cures traveled up his hand and arm.

“What is that!?”

I looked at him coldly and the curse was about to kill him. “Your death.” Before he could say anything the curse killed him and he fell back onto the body dead. I looked back and the girls were gone and I looked around and saw appleblooms tail in an ally way. I put the sword away and walked over to the ally and found applebloom and tiara in the ally holding their ears and eyes closed tight. I kneeled down and touched applebloom’s shoulder and she opened her eyes and looked at me. She took her hands off her eyes and looked at me and murasame and then jumped at me and wrapped me in a bone breaking hug and we fell back. I wrapped my arms around her as we fell.

“You haven't been hurt again are you!?”

I was laying on my back and she was on my chest. I pulled one arm from her back and pushed us back up and I heard the sound of armor and hooves. I looked back and saw the guards coming around the corner. They stopped when they saw the bodies and me and applebloom. I looked back and saw tiara was looking at me and she smiled with tears in her eyes. She jumped onto me just like applebloom did and we stayed like this until a guard walked over to us.

“Can any of you tell us what happened here and who killed all of these stallions and colts?”

I looked but at him and started to speck. “I did it they were armed and said they were going to kill us so I ended them.” The guard looked at me and then to the bodies and looked back to me.

“Son you ever thought about join the guard?”

We had to stay and answer questions and I had to listen to this guy trying to get me join the guard. We walked tiara home and I felt hungry and I looked at applebloom. “Hey bloom do you want to go and get some food?” She looked at me and seemed to be very happy grabbed my hand and started to pull on it.

“Yes.”

I smiled and we started to walk with her I reached into my other pocket and pulled out a smaller bag full to the brim with bits. I pulled my hand free from her and opened the bag and saw many silver and gold coins. “Hey bloom how much is the silver and gold coins worth?” She looked at me and answered the question.

“Silver is worth fifty and gold is one-hundred with all the bits you have you could build a small town.”

I looked back to the bits and then tied it back and put it back into my pocket. She took me to a pizza place and we walked in and sat at a table in the back. I took my swords off and sat them against the wall. I then sat down and I could see the door and we started to talk until a waitress came over to our table.

“Welcome to hot pasta what can I get for you?”

“You pick applebloom.”

“Ok well have a large cheese pizza with a side of bread sticks. Troy are you ok with sweet tea?”

“Ya that’s fine.”

“Ok then a large cheese pizza and two sweet tea coming right up that will be sixty bits. You can pay now or when you finish eating.”

Applebloom pov

I watched as troy pulled his bit bag out and gave her a gold bit.

“Keep the change miss.”

The waitress smiled and walked back to the kitchen and then troy started to talk to me.

“So applebloom why do you never seem to be scared of the things I’ve done even after you saw me kill those stallions?”

I looked at him and smiled. I moved a hand to his and placed it over his and looked into his eyes. “I just can bring myself to be scared of you troy. Something in my heart is telling me that I can’t be scared of you.” I smiled and tighten my hand on his and he looked at me and for the first time gave me a full smile. Then to my joy he turned his hand and tighten his end of the hold. ‘He’s holding my hand and he’s really smiling!’

“You know maybe there is something worth wild staying in one place instead of just always moving. This is the longest I’ve ever stayed in one place after the revolution.”

I looked at him and before I could talk again our waitress came back with our food and drinks in her magic.

“Here you go love birds.”

We both blushed and looked away from each other and then to the food on the table. The waitress laughed and walked away. I looked back to the pizza and pulled a pick a piece up and started to eat. I saw him take a piece and take a bite and was looking pasted me. I turned and all that was there was the door and I looked back at him. I swallowed the food in my mouth and started to talk. “What are you looking at troy?” He finished his piece of pizza and then looked at me.

“I’m watching the door in case anything happens or if someone else that brat’s family may have after us.”

‘Ok I guess that he has a good point they could have done something else.’ I nodded and looked back at the pizza and started to eat again. We stayed there for about an hour until we walked out and I heard my sister’s and twilight’s voices.

“I’m telling you twi he won’t even look at me now. My family is not too happy with me granny said I should have just left him alone.”

“Well applejack we jump when we found out about his weapons but we never knew that he would risk his life to protect any of us. But I’ve heard from around town at a few young mares have taken a liking him.”

I pulled troy down the side ally and he asked me a question.

“What was the two of them talking about?”

I pulled us out on the other side of the alley near the back street of the town. “Um they were talking about the mares in town liking you for all the good you’ve done.” I didn’t like lying but he seemed to take the answer. I looked back in front of me and saw some stallions looking at me and troy wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him.

“Stay very close to me and were walking out of here.”

I nodded and grabbed the back of his shirt and I saw him grab the handle of his sword.

Troy pov

I looked around the streets and saw that this was the bad part of town in the mares and stallions in this place. The mares were dressed in in skimpy cloths and the stallions were looking at applebloom and I could some of them licking their lips and few started to follow us. I didn’t want them to touch applebloom so I kicked her legs up lifting her legs and her rear into the air and I threw my arm under her knees and moved my other hand to her shoulder. I looked down at her and she was blushing. “Hold on tight.” She wrapped her arms around my neck and I started to run at full speed. I ran for a good five minutes and I looked back and saw that I lost them and we were near the edge of the town. I when to put applebloom down when my hand moved from her shoulder my hand touched something soft and round. I squeezed it and then I knew what it was and I panicked. I looked down at my right hand and saw my hand one the side of left breast and she was blushing hard.

“Um can you please move your hand?”

“Uh ya just let me set you on your hooves.” I let her down and took my hands off her and we just looked at each other. I rubbed the back of my head and looked at her and she looked at the ground and kicked a small rock. I looked around and saw it was starting to get dark. “Um I think we should get you home applebloom.” She blushed and nodded and I took her hand and we walked down the road. As we walked she let my hand go and then wrapped it around her waist and wrapped her arm around me. I smiled and felt my cheeks burning a little and we walked like that until we walked up to the farm. I pulled my arm back and was about to walk to the house until she grabbed the back of my shirt. I looked back and saw her face was red ad she was looking down at the ground. Then she walked forward and wrapped her arms around my chest and laid her head on my back.

“Hey troy you know that land you own now?”

“Ya what about it?” She rubbed her head into my back and she tightened her hold on my chest.

“You could have a house build on it and you’d always have somewhere to come home. You wouldn’t have to always wonder from place to place. I’d even come and see you and the girls would too.” I put a hand on hers and really thought about it. ‘it would be nice not to have to keep moving and just settle down.’ As I thought she let go of me and walked in front of me.

“Hey can you come help me in the barn really quick we need to move some of the barrels and I may need some help.”

“Ok.” I followed her over to the barn and she pushed the door open and walked in. I followed her in and left the door open. “So applebloom what did you need?” She turned and walked over to me and to my surprise she wrapped her arms around my neck and pushed her lips into mine. She had her eyes closed and I slowly closed mine and wrapped my arms around her lower back. I pulled her her off her hooves and I felt her tail snake it’s way around my leg and she wrapped her legs around my waist.

“Well I see my granddaughter isn’t a filly anymore.” We broke apart and looked to see granny leaning on the open barn door and looking at us with a knowing smile. “Uh hey granny please don’t tell mac or applejack.” When I said that applebloom tightened every hold she had on me and looked at her.

“Please granny you said that if I could find the perfect gentlecolt then you won’t let mac and applejack kill him.”

Granny started to laugh and walked in and closed the door. She looked at us and I put applebloom down. Easier said than done she really didn’t want to let go of me. She walked in front of us and put a hand on both our shoulders and smiled.

“Oh I don’t mind it at all in fact I think he’s the best one in this town for you to pick from applebloom. Oh and troy I don’t mind it but I don’t want to find you two in the act if you two know what I mean.”

We both blushed and looked away from each other and granny laughed again.

“That said I don’t mind the two of you sleeping together as long as cloths stay on all the whole night. Now applebloom please go inside and get ready for bed I need to talk to troy alone for a few minutes.”

She looked at me and then ran out of the barn and I gulped and looked at her. “I swear I wasn’t going to do anything to her.” She smiled and looked me in the eyes and I started to sweat.

“Sonny let me tell you something.”

“Yes ma’am.”

“When I was young me and their grandfather were just like the two of you. I also meant what I said you two are free to sleep together as long as she isn’t pregnant unless you’re going marry her.”

“Yes granny but I’ve never even dated a girl or mare as it’s called here.” She sighed and walked over to a door in the back and I followed her. I looked inside and there were a lot of large bottles and pulled one out and handed it to me.

“Next chance you get the two of you have a nice drink with some of our privet cider reserve.”

I took the bottle and we walked into the house and she said I could take it to my room. I walked up the stairs and heard both applejack and mac were already asleep. I walked to my door and opened it and stopped when I saw applebloom laying in my bed. She was looking at the wall and I quietly walked in and sat the bottle down on the nightstand. I looked at applebloom and she was in a pair of sleep pants and a loss t-shirt.

“Are you going to lay down or should I go back to my room?”

I jumped at her voice and looked at her as she turned and looked up at me. “Um applebloom I know granny said that we were free to sleep in the same bed but if your sister or brother see this and try and kill me?”

She looked at and then laughed a little.

“Don’t worry about that they’ll leave us be when they find out she said it was ok.”

I looked at her and then sighed and took the swords off and my shoes and put them back in the space between the bed and nightstand. When I was done with that I laid down beside her and wrapped and arm around her and pulled the covers over us. “Comfortable?” She pushed herself a little more into me and sigh.

“Yes goodnight troy.”

“Goodnight applebloom.” We laid there for a half hour then I saw snow outside the window. ‘when was the last time I saw real snow?’ I thought this as I fell asleep holding applebloom close to my chest.
