New Apple In Town (Open to All)


Recommended Posts

Darky let the other pony answer his question, but then he said. "Well, Canterlot is a quite nice place." He said smiling. "It has quite some good places to go and it is quite luxury. Spending some time there is quite interesting." Darky then looked to their host.

"Well, i don't mind getting up half an hour before sunshine." Darky said "That will give me enough time to make breakfast for everypony and get this place cleaned asap."

Rusting Willows sat in front of the town billboard, tilting his head curiously whilst studying the various advertisements, notes and information pinned up. He was bored and was looking for something to do. For Rusting, the billboard has always proved to be the most effective way of keeping up to date with local news and job application. Although not specialising in anything in particular, he still likes to call himself a handy-pony, for good or for worse. He notices a note pinned to the wall, written in blood red ink...

 

PLEASE PUT BACK (PROPERLY) THE PLUMBING FOR MY TOILET

you know who you are...

 

Rusting remembers he needs to put Mrs Shimmerlites upstairs toilet back together, he may or may not get paid for that one. 

 

Elsewhere on the billboard, Rusting sees the poster advertising work at the apple farm on the far side of town. A room and board as well as a percentage... interesting..... apples.... farm.... apple pie.....faaarm.......apple..................cider.

He stands up epic like, locking his eyes on the shimming image of the farm house outside of town through the haze of heat, and makes a heading for it.

She looks. "Oh my." She looks about. "Ah..... wow. Ah certainly think ah may have more than enough help now." She smiled. "Well, ya'll are makin' it hard. Buck it. ya'll get the job. Now.... let's see." She thinks. "Fer posters, we'll need ta advertise for a bed and breakfast. The other part, yew'd have ta talk with my... associate, Kitty here, on the other part. If'n she comes out of her daze. Now if'n ya'll interested in learnin' ta buck trees can follow me, ah'll take ya'll and show ya. Those who want ta help with the BandB, stay here and visit."

 

She heads out going strait to her orchard. It not as large as Sweet Apple Acres but it being pretty good size. Perhaps 1/1000th the size, with all things considering, and not easy to split as much. "As good farm ponies know, there are many different kinds of apples. Yew have yer granny smith, crab apples, golden delicious, red delicious and many different ones. Unlike mah cousins over in Sweet Apple Acres, here, I have mah apples sorted by types. This one is mah favorite, Honeycrisp apples." She licks her lips. "They are the sweetest apples ah ever tasted."

"Really, I've never had honeycrisp before. but from the looks of it its going to be at least a week before i get to" BraveShield said looking at the almost ripe apples

 

"I'm BraveShield by the way." he pointed out razing a hoof to the farmer

Darky was inside the house. Since the other ones will help outside, the decided to take a look around the house to see how it looked and know what to do when cleaning it, as well as the kitchen.

Brave analyzed how she kicked and got a basic understanding of what to do

Rusting arrived at the gate of the farm, with the large farmhouse looming up in front of him. The walk from town wasn't a tough one but was a particularly long one, his mouth was dry, his hoofs sore. The farm seemed fairly pretty itself, although the house could have almost appeared on the front of a spooky novel with a stormy night sky behind it and a couple of tombstones. Thankfully, this was not the case as it had a more homely feel to it, Rusting thought to himself as he made his way up the path toward the front door. 

 

It appeared no pony was around, it was quiet...too quiet. Stepping onto the wooden flooring of the porch, he gingerly approached the door, floorboards creaking. With slight apprehension on his mind, he knocks on the door. It swings open on it's hinges....

 

From the blasting sunlight outside, his eyes struggle to adjust to the dark interior, unable to make out anything. Steeling himself, he steps inside, taking a deep breath and looking as though he might sneeze, he says into the darkness with a particular high voice... "Hello?"

Midnight nodded. "Well, I'd like to stay away from the band my ears are a tad bit more sensitive than any other pony here! Good luck everypony!!!" Midnight pulled out a pair of sunglasses to protect her sensitive eyes and then removed her saddlebags quickly as she watched the unicorn buck.

Midnight giggled slightly but clapped her hooves and made an unusual clicking sound with her mouth. "Nice job! I'll get the rest!" Midnight turning around, aimed her hind legs and bucked with such a force that the rest of the apples came down and a few branches with it.

"Yipee it's so fun!" Midnight blew the leaves out of her hair as she scooped up the apples and placed them in a bucket.

"I live in the Everfree and I sometimes have to stop the timber wolves, a good buck in the face does the trick! Also Especially when it's rainy! I have to buck all the water off of my shelter and I have to use my legs and hooves to pull all types of things! " Midnight gleefully rattled on as she buzzed in the sky and did loop the loops!

Darky could hear something from the house. "Going!" He said as he turned on the lights. He didn't expected that someone else arrived. He had already finished looking around the house, and since somepony was at the door, he had to see who it was.

He walked down the stair towards the front door. "Good day." He said smiling to the pony that just went in. Darky looked quite friendly, but also big since he was an alicorn and slightly cute. "If you are looking for the owner of the housem she went to teach someponies how to buck some apples." He said.

Rusting jumped when he saw the large figure descending the stairs, albeit the friendly greeting, an alicorn in an apple farm wasn't something he expected to see, 'they should be in castles...right?' he thought to himself. At least this one didn't seem too...bad. Rust gave a little nod, a little suspicious he took a little step back and stood up straight, trying desperately to no avail to increase his height up to match that of this new character. With his eyes more adjusted, he looked around a bit more, taking in the decor and the alicorn standing in front of him. His tilted his head curiously to the side as he saw the friendly expression on his face. He murmured something about horns and wings to himself, it's not everyday he has gotten to see one up close before."So if the owner is out...bucking apples... forgive me for asking....my liege.... but who are you? and what's going on? I saw an ad"

"Oh, yeah." Darky replied. "My name is Darkness Knight, I'm Princess Luna husband (since no one said anythig and is a FFA.)." He said with a gentle smile. "And about the ad, I also came because of that. I'm the one in charge of cleaning and cooking in here." He explained. "You should go to talk to the owner about that."

Dawn followed the rest of the lot outside, then watched curiously as they began to buck apples from the tree. Brave seemed to do a fairly good job for his first try, but Midnight seemed to know what she was doing. He sighed in admiration, before walking over to another tree, the apples looking just a bit more ripe than the last one. He shook out his back legs a bit. All right, here goes nothing... He took a deep breath and kicked the tree as hard as he could.

Nothing happened.

Okay... Let's try again... He thought, before rearing up and delivering another kick. Again, nothing happened. "Come on..." He mumbled, shaking off his back legs a bit more. Rearing up once more, he delivered one final kick.

A single apple fell from the tree, hitting him on the head. He let out a melancholic sigh as he studied the apple. "Yeah, I have a lot to learn..."

Luna?! Husband?! Realising he was suddenly addressing a royal, Rust dropped to knees, head bowing low. "GAH! I'm sorry, I forget my place my lord." Rusting grovelled a little more, hoping he hadn't offended the royal in anyway... He looked up at Darkness Knight towering over him, trying to puppy eye his way out. He only wanted Cider...and a bit of pie...

Darky looked at him, a bit confused. He sighed and looked around. He grabbed a pie he had made not so long ago and eat a small slice. "You want some?" He offered him with a gentle smile as he grabbed some cyder for him.

Sweet smiled. "Well, yew two will be perfect fer bucking." She looked at the one who knocked some branches out. "These smaller ones, ya don't want to buck that hard. Reason is, just what happened." She says. "Now the great big ones on the other side, it's a different story."

 

She trotted to Dawn and smiled. "It's alright, sugar, when ah first started, ah could shake dust out much less one apple. But allow me ta show ya. There's  a soft spot, right about here." She points. "Try ta kick here." She says to Dawn softly.
