Ch. 17

It was the end of another work day at sweet Apple acres and Applejack and Tom were walking back to the house.

" I'm telling you green eyes, instead of apples you need to use corn instead! We could make some good old fashion moonshine!"

"  Not a huck of corn is coming near this farm, ya hea-"

she was cut short, someone had thrown a rope around her neck, choaking her. Tom reacted quickly,pulling out his knife and cutting the rope. He then grabbed a gasping Applejack and threw her into a tree, she hit her head on a branch, knocking her out.

Tom spun around, looking for the offenders, all he got was ropes thrown around him, knocking him to the ground. Tom growled and looked up. There were a bunch of huge dogs that were standing over him, grinning evily. Diamond dogs Tom thought as the dogs looked around. " Where did that pony go?" One of them asked. The biggest one shrugged, wielding a club. " No matter, we take ape to pack leader, he work in mines. " When they got close to him Tom growled, " I bite" He said as the big dog raised the club over its head and brought it down, knocking Tom the fuck out.....

3 Hours later......

Applejack woke up, groaning, falling out of the tree. " What happened, there was a rope and that var- TOM!" She looked around, panicked. She saw that his knife was laying on the ground....

Tom woke up, having a splitting head ache and his legs chained to the floor. Fucking diamond dogs He thought as he rubbed his head, looking around. There were 3 diamond dogs guarding him, in fact they were the ones that knocked him out. They were cooking something over the fire.... it was." Is that..... a deer?" the dogs looked over to him, noticing that they were awake. They grinned at him.

" You want some?" they asked, expecting him to get sick, but Tom was drooling. " YES PLEASE!" he shouted. Tom hadn't had meat for months and it was hard of a person who usually ate meat everyday. " You eat meat? " One of the dogs asked confused, Tom shook his head happily. " Yep but I haven't meaten it for sooooo long."

" Why no eat pony."

" The meats to chewy for my taste."

The dogs looked at him nodding, understanding. They threw him a huge cut of the meat and Tom eat it happily, almost crying. " So" Tom said as he was eating " what are you going to do with me?" " You going to mine for gems." One of the dogs said.

" What are you going to do with them."

" Keep of course!"

" Do you do anything with them?"

" We keep and stare at them, they pretty."

" ...... So you don't eat them or sell them or anything?"

" No"

" Why, you'd make a lot of money off them, you probably could bulid houses and stuff, and you know.. not live in a cave."

The dogs looked at each other, enlightened. Why had no diamond dog ever thought of that! One of the dogs looked at his fellows and said, " Me go get pack leader.".......

Applejack was losing her mind with worry, running the other girls and Matt, who was carrying the machete that Tom had given him. She couldn't get it out of her head that something bad had happened to him. Was he hurt, were the diamond dogs hurting him? They were going fer me and that variment threw me in that tree!She thought, white from panick. the girls were not helping things.

" Twilight, what are these dogs going to Tom?" Matt asked as they ran to the diamond dogs lair. " I don't know Matt. They could be doing anything from forcing him to work in the mine to eating him." She said. Applejack almost fainted, but she kept running." Ya, they could be torturing  him right now!" Rainbow put in. Applejack ran faster, hoping that nothing bad was happening to him.....

No NO! Tom thought as the diamond dog looked evily down him. " You lose!" The pack leader said as he moved the checker pieces around the board, taking all of Tom's pieces... again. " Damn! You dogs know how to play! Best 12 outta 15?" The pack leader grinned. " You alright Tom. You get our diamonds to work for us!" Tom grinned, " It's all right! Hey you guys are going to let me out now right?" The packleader nodded happily. " As soon as you lose next game of checkers!"....

The girls and Matt got to the entrance of the diamond dog lair, it being guarded by 2 dogs holding spears. " Alright everypony, let need a plan to g-" Applejack rushed the guards, her fear giving her a huge amount of speed and strength. She bucked both of the dogs hard, sending them flying into trees, knocking them both out. " Come on Twi! get that tracker spell working!" She yelled at her friend. As they rushed through the caverns Applejack thought Don't worry big fella, we're coming to get you!

5 minutes later.....

" Where almost there girls!" twilight said, Matt getting the machete out and the other girls getting ready for a big fight, none of them knowing what had become of their friend.....

They came into a huge cave to Tom..... playing checkers with one of the diamond dogs, laughing with a group of them like they were all old friends. At first Applejack as relieved that he was okay... then she got madder than she had ever gotten in her life. All of that worrying and he was perfectly fine! He was even playing checkers! " TOM YA VARIMENT!" she yelled, her vision turning red. Tom and the diamond dogs looked at her.

Tom and the dogs flinched, you could almost see the anger coming off her. Eyes blazing she slowly and angerly walked toward him as the dogs charged. Her rage had given her the strength of 2 big Mac's so everytime they got close they were bucked all the way to the other side of the cavern. " AS WORRIED AS I WAS ABOUT YA, HOW I THOUGHT YA WAS HURT, NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TA YA WHEN YA SAVED ME FROM THESE VARIMENTS AND YER PLAYING CHECKERS?! WHY DA YA HAVE TA ALWAYS SAVE OTHER PONIES HUH?....."

Tom looked at her in fear, trying to rip the chains off his legs, they wouldn't budge." Now Green eyes-" " MY NAMES APPLEJACK NOT GREEN EYES YA VARIMENT!" she bellowed, getting closer to him. Tom moved as far back as his chains would allow and looked at the others pleadenly. They all looked scared and shocked. Tom almost saw his life flash before his eyes. I can't die before Matt! He thought as Applejack, by Tom's point of view, towered over him, her eyes blazing.

" My. names. Applejack, say it!" Tom flinched. " A-Applejack. " he shummered as she got closer to his face. She's going to fucking kill me! Tom closed his eyes and awaited his fate....

Matt looked in Applejack in terror, woundering why she was so pissed off. She's going to kick the shit out of him! He was really concerned as she got closer to him, Tom closing his eyes, almost shaking in fear. She did what none of then expected... she grabbed him by the shoulders and kissed him, hard.

Tom's eyes flew open, scared and confused, the girls gasped but Matt grinned. that a girl He thought as they kept kissing. when she broke it off Tom looked at the group and said, " askjfbakbfw?" Applejack smiled and patted him on the head, kicking his leg braces off him. " Come on big fella, you and me got some taking to do!" He nodded dumbly at her, getting up and following her. As he walked by the confused girls and out of the cave Matt fell to the ground, laughing.....

Later that day......

That was a very interesting day, getting kidnapped by some chill dogs and getting a marefriend. I hope that gr- I mean Applejack didn't hurt them too much after they got home Applejack confessed her feelings, feelings that Tom had no idea she had, he always thought that she hated them, Tom realized he liked her too. The whole conversation the girls were awwwwing and Matt was looking fucking smug. Applebloom was over Rarity's for the weekend, grinny Smith was with some cousins for some reason, and Big Mac was up with Rainbow for the weekend, leaving Tom, Aj, and Matt alone at the house.

Getting out of the shower and putting cloths on, Tom jumped on the bed, happy that this long day was almost over.... As he closed his eyes he heard someone opening his door. " Yes?" He asked, eyes still closed. No answer.... Getting up Tom saw that it was Applejack. " Yes Apple-" was all he got out as she jumped him, knocking him onto the bed. " Get off them cloths Tom" She said hungerly " Ya got work ta do!" For the first time all day Tom smiled. " Yes ma'am!"

5 minutes later......

" Applejack....."

" Ya?"

" Do you have to wear you hat while we're....."

"..... Yep."

Matt looked up at the celling wide awake. Tom and Applejack had been going at it for hours and he had the misfortune of being in the next room over them. Applejack moaned again, the wall shaking. Finally he had enough, " SHUT THE FUCK UP!" he shouted. The next room was quiet. Tom called from the next room, " Het Matt, go take a walk, I'm almost finished here." Matt got up groaning as the wall shaking continued......
