Just a little practice before giving her more work

[downtoearthpony]

....What. The buck?!

Listen mun, Ah'm glad you enjoy playing as me so much that you need to make plans for when that Mayfield place shuts down, but you mind explaining this?

Ah mean really? A hue-min? Just how in the hay am Ah suppose to get around like this?

Remember when Ah was a hue-min for a while in Mayfield? How annoying that was? And now you're going to force me to be like that ALL THE DANG TIME? What is wrong with you?

What's that? Ah'll be a pony again during the 'dark hour'? Well when's that? Around midnight? But Ah sleep then! You don't stay up late when you work on a farm, mun! How's being mahself an hour each night going to make this any better?

...Did you just say 'werepony' between giggles? Oh you are so lucky Ah'm not there to buck you across the room.




Well, at least Ah get to keep mah cutie mark it seems....

Werepony?

Werepony?

You are an abomination! I don't even need an arguement for unmaking the world, I can just say that word and I am pretty sure no greater power in existence will deny me.

[downtoearthpony]

Listen pardner, Ah'm not too thrilled about it either, but Ah don't think that's the attitude to take here. Especially when AH'M the one who's got to deal with it.

[soangryicouldtinkle]

Yeah, but we have to deal with you talking, and I think that's a worse punishment.

1/2

[learns]

Being a human isn't that bad, Applejack. You'll get used to it quick.

[learns]

Juuuust make sure you wear some clothing.

It's a cultural thing. You don't want to be culturally insensitive.

[needsteaplz]

[She's trying not to laugh about the were-pony stuff but still. An actual pony at TVK? Do want.]

Unfortunately that's how Prospero treats those who aren't human at first. And I don't think there's any place on the island to start a farm unless you're outside the town.

[downtoearthpony]

Yeah, Ah guess Ah'll have to get a new job while Ah'm there, but just what can Ah actually do? Ah'm use to working on a farm and selling apples...

Plus how do Ah just turn around my sleep schedule so easily?

Bold is Flam! Regular is Flim.~

[bingbangzam]

Why if it isn't our old friend, Applejack!

In the flesh! Welcome to the world of being a human!

Two legs!

Opposable thumbs!

And we still have our magic.

[With a snap of their fingers, the familiar glow of magic hovers just above their clicked thumbs.]

[downtoearthpony]

[Oh sweet Celestia, these two. Here's a new thing for Applejack: Facepalming.]

Of course you two do...

[Her face brightens suddenly.]

Of course you two do! Which means, Ah probably can still buck with the best of them. Care to let me test that out?

[shoutime]

Ahaha, it's not so bad! You'll get the hang of it soon enough!

[downtoearthpony]

Ah guess so, but it just seems kinda mean that Ah'll have to get use to it in the first place. It might have not been a walk in the park, but at least in Mayfield ah was still a pony.

...And usually mahself.

[elementofloyalty]

Don't worry. It happens surprisingly often.

[downtoearthpony]

Wait what is? Turning into a hue-min, or becoming a werepony, because Ah sure don't remember hearing anything like this happening to other ponies before...

[heavenscorpse]

It's not so bad! I mean. I used to be a plant.

[downtoearthpony]

.....A plant? Does that mean you would turn into one during that 'dark hour' thingee? Because that almost sounds like a worse deal than Ah've got here.

[tooshytofly]

A-Applejack?

[Why does this Internet place keep getting stranger and stranger?!]

What happened?

[downtoearthpony]

Ah got turned into a hue-min, Fluttershy... Ah don't rightly understand it much mahself. Apparently where Ah'm going, talking ponies aren't the most common thing, so most of the day, Ah'll have to look like this...

[sanctus_dei]

There's worse things to be than human. And according to my "mun", worse places you can be than where you're going.

1/3 (I couldn't resist then when I thought of it moments of asking, sorry)

[downtoearthpony]

Ah guess, most folks in Mayfield seem alright with it, just it's pretty different from being a pony. And that's nice to know, seeing as how bad Mayfield was, someplace a little nicer would be appreciated.

Thanks, Ah-THEO?!

[Yeah, it took her this long to actually realize who she was talking to. She's positively beaming when she sees him and runs over arms outstretched for what looks like a hug.]

2/3

[downtoearthpony]

[...Except that look turns to anger almost the moment she's within arms length and those arms go to looking like they were for a hug to grabbing Theo by the shirt and pulling him close so she can stare him in the face with the intensity of a thousand burning suns.]

Do you know what Ah had to go through after you left?! You were the last non-drone at the house! You pretty much disappeared and the whole family was treating me like a dog! They bought nothing but dog food for me! Ah couldn't cook or do anything around the house anymore! It was bad enough when the twins left, but with you gone it was terrible! You were the last friend Ah had there! And then you up and go, and, and...

3/3

[downtoearthpony]

...and Ah was all by mahself and Ah never got to say good bye or apologize for not being a better friend to ya and Ah really miss you, Theo, Ah'm sorry Ah wasn't there more for you...

[Yeah, that anger pretty much burned out in that rant and this last bit is being said between sobs as she cries into your chest. She also might be wiping her nose on your lapel. Sorry about that...]

[lookingforhead]

[No one walking over, but look over there! There's a motorcycle that has a bit of a "horsey" presence to it just sitting at the curb.]

[downtoearthpony]

[Oh hey, it's one of the motorcycle thingies! Applejack remembers getting a ride on one from a friend back in Mayfield.

Course she was a pony then, and it was kinda awkward, but now she's a human and pretty much made for riding one of these things right?

She can't help coming to take a closer look. Did someone just leave it here? And what's this weird feeling she gets from standing by it?

...

Maybe if she touches it...]

[skypiratejohnny]

Wait... a... minute...

[downtoearthpony]

Johnny?! It's me! Applejack!

[Guess who's getting a big old bear(pony) hug?! You are! She may actually lift you off in the ground with her enthusiasm. Years on a farm builds muscle!]

It's great to see ya! How have you been?

[After she says that, she realizes she's been hugging him for awhile now and sets him back down with a sheepish look.]

Er, sorry, just glad to see a familiar face...
