CHS Strongest Diciple

>"Hey, Anon! You should join the martial arts club! You know, /she's/ in it too!"
>Looking at Norman you simply grab your hamburger and bite into it with vigor.
>”Whoa, dude chill didn’t mean to offend or nothing.” The beanie wearing teen says holding his hands up in surrender.
>”Ah leave him alone dude, you know how he feels about Applejack.” Eco chimes in taking a bite of his veggi burger.
>Swallowing your food you wave your hands around frantically before glancing back at her table.
>Ok they didn’t hear that, rounding on Eco you level a glare at him.
“Do you /have/ to announce it to the world!?”
>Coin Flip pushes his glasses up his nose, “Sorry, but if you were hoping to hide your affections for the stereotypical cow girl I’m afraid that the whole school knows about that.”
>Silently you flip Coin the bird and sigh.
“Really don’t think that trying to punch my way to her heart is going to win me any favors.”
>”Dude relax you got this, just go up to the club, sign up and just show up there.” Norman chips in pointing out the bulletin board, “Besides don’t you want to be the knight in shining armor for her anyway?”

>An image of using your fists to beat up thugs and saving Applejack comes to your mind, she’d be ever so greatful from you kicking their ass she might even give you a k-
>A whack to the back of your head drags you out of the dream.
“Ow! Eco! The hell man?”
>Sipping from his juice box the vegan boy simply answers, “If you don’t hurry they won’t have room for you, look.”


>Following his finger you can already see plenty of kids milling around the bulletin board.
>Coin adds his opinion, “Not to mention you need an extracurricular activity to pass as well.”
“Shit!”
>Darting up you sprint towards the bulletin board and see the sign up for the martial arts club, it’s only got two more spots on it!
>Fast as you can you grab the marker hanging next to it and scribble in your name.
>There.
>”Well Ah’ll be, didn’t take ya fer a fighter there fella.”
>Back stiffening you slowly turn to look.
>Shit don’t pussy out.
>Be suave as fuck!
“Uh, y-yeah I l-like th-the fight a-and um, you too?”


>Oh god why.
>In the distance you can see your friends slap their faces as one.
>Applejack meanwhile gives a hearty laugh and pats your shoulder, “Aw shucks Sugarcube, that’s great to hear! We take all kinds in the club, Ah was about to get the membership list myself.”
>Reaching past you, you gulp at the close proximity as a brief whiff of her scent fills your senses, mulled cider, sweat, and a bit of rose?
>Before it becomes too awkward Applejack pulls away with the membership sheet in her hand, “Remember to show up at four after class now ya hear? All the initiates will be there as well!”

>Holy shit, that just happened.
>Oh man you get to be with Applejack for at least an hour each day!
>Oh fuck you’re going to be alone with Applejack for an hour each day!
>Before you can panic you are quickly assaulted by your friends as they crowd around you.
>”Dude that was awesome, how did it go?”
>”I’m quite impressed I would have put it at a seventy five percent chance of you embarrassing yourself.”
>”Man your aura was blazing when you got done talking with her, you alright?”
>Waving off their concerns you simply reply you’re fine just in time for the bell to ring sending you all running for class.

>Stopping off before your locker you dial the code and throw your stuff in before heading towards the gym.
>Once you arrive you find yourself at a lost.
>There are almost fifty students in here!
>Some of them don’t even look like they are fit enough to jog to the store muchless defend themselves with their hands!
>Though why a majority of them are guys…
>”A-Attention…”
>What was that?
>”A-attention please?”
>You can just make out someone at the front of the crowd…
>”C-can I have y-your attention please?”
>It almost sounds lik-
>”HEY! SHIT FOR BRAINS! SIT DOWN!”
>Like the crack of a whip the crowd quickly sits down on the mats before three girls.
>Oh crud, you thought that they were members!
>Not the actual club leaders!
>Standing before you are Rainbow Dash, not surprising, Applejack, again not surprising, but what sends you on a trip is the fact that Fluttershy of all people is up there with the others!
>Fluttershy?!
>Just, how?
>Rainbow Dash starts to speak but is stopped by Applejack who nods to Fluttershy at the look Rainbow gives her.
>”Right, well Fluttershy here will tell you what we’re doing today.”
>With that Rainbow moves out of the way and gestures to Fluttershy to take her place, relectantly the girl steps forward before gulping.
“H-Hi, I-I’m F-Fluttershy and w-we’re here to l-learn and t-teach about mixed m-martial arts…”
>Fluttershy starts to gain more confidence now as she takes another breath, “S-so what w-we’re g-going to do is o-”
>”Oh come on.”
>Looking towards the noise you see some kid with huge muscles, he’s not Bulk, but another gym rat.
>Standing up he rolls his neck with an audbile crack, “Some of us can already fight, so why are we wasting time on this begginner stuff?”
>”U-uh...um…”
>”The reason you idiot is because you need to learn the basics before you can do anything else!” Rain shouts back to the jock.
>”Pfft, whatever, I bet I could take you on and run this club better myself!”
>Rainbow fumes before she calms down and a sly smirk appears on her face, “Alright tough guy, come on up and let’s see you strut your stuff then.”
>”About time!” Moving through the crowd the jock pushes aside one of the chubbier kids and stands legs bent as he grins at Rainbow.
>Rainbow merely holds herself ready and calmly looks at the jock, “Applejack? You wanna start us off?”
>”Sure Sugarcube. Ready! Set! Go!” With her hand passing through the air the jock throws a wild hay maker at Rainbow Dash!
>You start to say something only to stop as an audible smack resounds through the air.
>Holding her arm up to block Rainbow merely raises an eyebrow at the boy who pales rapidly, “What that...Take thi-ughck!”
>Before the jock was able to take another swing Rainbow simply took a step forward her fist barreling out like a shot to land in the jock’s abs!
>You thought you saw a small cone of air escape from behind his body there was so much force!
>For a moment it looks as if the jock will stay on his feet, but he falls with a dull thud to the ground curled up trying to get his breath back.
>Rainbow simply bows to the jock as Applejack calls out, “Match end! Rainbow Dash is the winner!”
>The calm stately looking girl is soon replaced by the soccer player you remember as she rubs her nose and sniffs, “Hehehe, that’s why you learn the basics punk!”
>Turning to regard the rest of the class Rainbow’s eyes, you can see a fire in them, “Well what about the rest of you lot? You want to throw down now?”
>A hurried chorus of no echoes out from the class and then you watch as someone raises their hand.
>”Yeah what’s up?”
>Hey it’s that one kid in the av club, “I-I don’t think I can do this, I-I be going now…”
>Like Moses leading his people out of Egypt, that simple declartion soon has a large following as a majority of the crowd soon leaves the gym, including the defeated jock.
>”Wha- Hey! Come back!”
>”Darn it Sugarcube, you do this /everytime/!”
>Rainbow immediately whirls on Applejack getting in her face, “What?! It’s not my fault that they are all a bunch of pansy assed losers who can’t handle a girl being stronger than them!”
>Applejack is butting heads with Rainbow, “That’s not the reason you dingus, it’s because you scare the pants out of them with that battle lust of yours!”
>”Um…”
>Looking around you see that you’re the only one that actually stayed for the club.
>Seriously, way to turn in your man card guys, no wonder Crystal Prep kicked their ass last year…
>”G-girls..?”
>”There is nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy a bit of a fight!”
>”There is when you wind up making our club going under because we don’t have enough members!”
>”Girls!”
>Applejack and Rainbow both whip their head towards Fluttershy, “What?!”
>”W-we still have a member here…”
>Giving a small wave you continue to sit there trying not to look as awkward as you feel.
>”Oh…” Applejack says before scratching at her head, “Well, uh-”
>Suddenly colors before your face, “Welcome to the mixed martial arts club! Glad to have you aboard so let’s go ahead and get started then!”
“Uh, alright?”
>You let out a small manly yelp as your yanked to your feet.
>”R-Rainbow, s-slow down, you still have to ask him if he w-wants to stay!”
>”Ah relax he’s still here right? So it’s not a problem Fluttershy!” Rainbow simply answers before she holds you steady.
>”She’s right Rainbow, hey, Anon right? Are you sure you want to join our club we won’t hold it against ya.”
>Judging by the heated glare that Rainbow is throwing at Applejack and then at you daring you to answer no, you have the feeling that some of them might.
>Then you look over to see the wide eyes of Fluttershy and feel your soul twitch.
“N-naw I’m good, I want to learn how to fight, you guys look like you know what you’re doing!”
>Giving them a thumbs up you see Rainbow pump her fist, Fluttershy gives a small shy smile, while Applejack makes your heart stop at the heart warming grin she gives you.
>”Great!” Clapping her hands on your shoulders you feel your face heat up, Applejack leans in close and eyes your body, “Let’s go ahead and get started!”


>Ten minutes later…
>”Come on now Anon you can do it!”
>Puffing you pump your legs and shout back, “What does... this have... to do... with fighting?!” Crying tears of frustration that you hide in the sweat you continue to run with the tire hanging off your waist.
>”Y-you can do it!” Fluttershy cheers you on from her seat atop the tire.
>Rainbow keeps pace with you at a lazy jog, “It’s not that hard, we just need to condition you a bit is all!”
>Applejack meanwhile looks through a few books while you continue to run laps.
“Fuck! You!”
>”Maybe later sweet heart, but when you get to my level you can do this!” Rainbow reaches for her shirt and quickly strips it off!
>You will admit.
>You tripped.
>Not because you thought you got flashed, no that would be too simple.
>Instead it’s because Rainbow was wearing some weird chest piece made of weights like it was a badge of honor.
“The fuck is that?!”
>”O-oh well Rainbow l-likes to weight train so she wears them.”
“Isn’t that unhealthy?”
>”Only when I sleep in it!” Rainbow says before she slides her shirt back on kneeling down she pets your head, “Now come on, enough sleeping you got another fifty laps to go!”
>Her words go in one ear and out the other at the view below, you can /just/ make out a definite camel toe you just…
>Standing Rainbow deprives you of the view and stands offering you a hand.
“Why...must you kill meeee.”
>”O-oh Anon we’re d-doing it for your h-health!”
>You’re going to die, no doubt about it, but the prize at the end…

>Finishing the last lap you collapse, a pool of sweat slowly spreading out from your prone body.
“Kill me…”
>You soon feel a cold rag placed on your neck, “I t-think you did very well on your first day.”
>Turning an eye to look at the voice you see Fluttershy giving you a sheepish grin.
>Soon a pair of sneakers and boots come into view as well.
>”I’ll be honest Sugarcube, thought you’d quit before we get to the good part!”
>Holding a shaky thumbs up you let out a small groan under your breath.
>”Nah he’s a fighter I can tell! Now we can go ahead and start with the fight!” Rainbow exclaims tossing a few punches into the air.
>Tugging on the girl’s loose gi Applejack holds her steady, “Easy now Sugarcube, don’t go and scare the poor fella yet, we’ve got to work on his basics first.”
>Rainbow wilts like a balloon with the air taken out of it, “Aw man, fine I guess. Nothing like learning on the job though!”
>”Th-there is when you c-could get hurt R-Rainbow…”
>Finally catching your breath you take the chance to interject,
“What’s the basics then? They sound important.”
>The boots scrape as they move and soon your goddess comes into view, “Well Sugarcube, the basics are pretty much three simple steps, you already did the first one by warming up!” With a grin the cow girl continues despite your throbbing everything, “The next thing is setting up your stance.”
“Wassat?”
>Offering you a hand, Applejack pulls you up from your mess, “That’s where you plan to plant your feet.”
“How hard could that be?”
>”Go ahead and set yourself up on your stance.” Applejack says watching you with a careful eye.
>Shrugging you stand there and loosely spread your feet feeling solid.
“Alright, now wh- hey!”
>Off to your right, your pushed to the side nearly sending you Tumbling down.
>Whirling to the source you see Rainbow standing there looking impressed, “Not bad, but you need to spread your legs further and adjust for the force behind a blow.”
“That's great and all, but that's hard to do when you just shove me out of nowhere!”
>You pause as a hand holds your shoulder, “Easy there cowboy, Dash has a point, you need to watch your surroundin’s as well.”
>Flushing from the contact you take a breath and force a smile.
“R-right, sorry. So stances?”
>Applejack  regretfully pulls her hand away to rest them on her hips, unf,” Well that's up to you Sugarcube,  Ah’m mighty good in muythai, but that focuses on aggressive moves and my legs for the most part.”
>Rainbow perks up at that bouncing into sight, “Yeah, I've got a black belt in karate, so my stuff is an even mix of aggressive  and defensive moves, I can teach you if you want!”
“That sounds pretty neat, but…” Looking over to Fluttershy you can see her doing an odd dance flowing from move to move like water, “What does Fluttershy know?”
>Seeing  the attention on her Fluttershy pauses and nibbles her lip, “W-well, I can do a really mean Taichi, um, B-but I don't know if you would be interested, I j-just redirect m-my foes attacks, that's all.”
>Applejack laughs, “Not to mention the aikido Shy knows and you'd be more likely to wind up on your back.”
>Fluttershy gasps and looks away holding her arms, “I-I don't like doing that too often...People a-always look hurt when I do that.”
>Rainbow comes up behind Shy and gives her a hug, “Hey, it's fine.” Breaking contact the girl pumps her fist in eagerness, “Besides seeing their faces when they wind up flat on their back is priceless!”
“Who's they?”
>Pausing in her hyping moment Rainbow looks over at you blanky before realization settles in, “Oh yeah you wouldn’t know, since we’re technically representing CHS in the martial arts world we can go to tournaments, well they are mostly local things really since we don’t have a huge team.”
>Applejack takes that moment to interject, “Though with more members we could apply for some of the bigger tournaments, Ah know that we can’t join in at the inner city tournaments cuz of their four man requirement.”

>Looking over each of the girls you hum aloud thinking.
>You really want to learn from Applejack, you’d be able to get close to her that way!
>Yet, what makes you hesitate as you look over at Rainbow and Fluttershy.
>They are cute, but nothing compared to your apple bottom goddess...you just know that if you play too hard they’ll probably throw a wrench in the works…
>You don’t know why, but you just have a gut feeling that the other two might not be happy you only joined to get close to Applejack.
>So how are you…
>There is a way, but man is it going to suck.
“That sounds a bit weird, but cool, so…”
>The girls look up at your finally deciding to talk, their faces looking eager to get started finally.
“Would there be any way for me to train with all three of you?”
>Applejack nibbles at her lip in thought, unf, “Well Sugarcube, it’s...doable, but ya won’t really much free time.”
>”Yeah,” Rainbow adds on, “plus you’d have to work at all of them equally or else you won’t improve as fast as us.”
>”I-I don’t mind if he d-doesn’t want to l-learn from me, th-that could help?”
>Shaking your head you face them all determined.
“It’ll be fine, besides I want to get a good feel for each style, besides I bet you three are like masters or something before me anyway.”
>Rainbow preens a bit under the ego polishing compliment while Fluttershy blushes and Applejack gives a light hearted laugh, “Well alright then Sugarcube, let’s get started!”
>”Wait I thought I’d get him first?”
>”Thought you were going to figure out how to crack that metal bar thingy?”
>The soccer prodigy shrugs, “Eh it’ll still be there, now lemme have him for the day!”
“Why do I feel like a bone between a pair of dogs?”
>A soft giggle draws your eye to Fluttershy, “A-Anon that’s not very nice to call them female dogs, y-you know?”
>Did, did Fluttershy just make a joke?
>Before you can comment you hear a triumphant yell from ahead, Rainbow is throwing her hand up into the air with a peace sign.
>Applejack looks over at you and gives you a small smile, “Sorry Sugarcube, Rainbow’s got first dibs on ya.”
>You’d argue that point, but the chance is taken away as a small flat chested girl drags you away easily overcoming your attempts at digging in the floor mat.
>”Let’s go Anon!”
“Easy! No need to be so pushy!”
>Coming to a separate section of the gym you stand across from Rainbow as she looks you over.
>”Right, now you need to do what I say and don’t question it.”
“Why?”
>”Because I said so, now listen to your sensei.”
“Please get that weeb shit outta here…”
>”You’re the one learning martial arts, young grasshoppa. Now take your stance.”
>Rolling your eyes you do as she says, “That’s racist.”
>Rainbow is soon at your legs forcing them to bend a bit more, “Spread your legs a bit, move your foot forward…”
“That’s lewd.”
>”H-hey shut up, just do what I say.”
>After you move into the stance Rainbow wants whose muttering something about Zenkutsu taichi, you find to your surprise that you feel rather anchored down.
>Looking over you move about without moving your feet and find a rather comfortable range of motion one foot extended with the other is just behind.
>Looking down you see your knee is making a straight line down to the top of your foot, your leg is a bit tense, but it’s a good weight.
>”Now, I want you to throw out a punch and I’ll see what I have to work with.”
>Curling your fist up thumb out you cock your arm back and let it out like a shot.
>Rainbow nods to herself and comes up to you, “Not bad, but you moved out of your stance, lost some of your power that way.”
“Does it really matter that much?”
>Nodding the blue girl adjusts your legs again and then holds your arm.
>”Yep, if you don’t hold your form you lose a lot of punching power behind it.”
>Rainbow slowly guides you through a series of punches.
>”Each one of these have their own name, but all you need to know is that each part of your hand has a different point of striking, your knuckles, the back of your hand, your fingers in a spear tip and then the chop.” Rainbow explains as she runs her fingers over your hand to explain.
>You nod trying to memorize each of the fist positions, but it’s hard when you have a girl willingly wanting to touch you, no focus, save it for fap material later!
>Rainbow soon stands in front of you and assumes a slightly different stance, her legs are an equal distance from each other and she has her feet pointed towards you, “Now what I want you to get used to, is this stance, it’s a very natural stance and your going to be learning how to punch properly. Watch me close.”
>With that Rainbow starts to slowly move through four different positions, one fist extended with her other arm tucked in tight against her side, then brings them both together by her sides followed by her other arm then extending out as her fist corkscrews into a punch.
>”Timing is important here, if you mess it up you mess up your strike. Now, here’s what it looks like sped up.”
>Settled into her own stance Rainbow closes her eyes, takes a breath and suddenly punches out!
>You can hear the air cracking as her fists move between positions before she stops after a brief demonstration.
>”There, now you.”
>Following what she did you slowly work through it with small adjustments from Rainbow from time to time.
>Eventually you think you got the hang of it.
“Alright, what’s the next lesson?”
>”You keep doing that.”
“Wait, what?”
>”You need to build muscle memory for this otherwise your mind is going to be too busy to remember how to fight, so we have to train your body. For now do that for thirty minutes a- Oh that reminds me!”
>Before you can complain the girl soon darts off into the nearby storage closet and a low grinding sound is heard.
>With a earth shaking thud you simply stare at what the crazy girl has pulled out.
>It’s a giant horse statue made of stone.
“The fuck is that?”
>Beaming Rainbow taps the flanks of the horse, “This good buddy, is my punching pal! He’s going to be your new best friend!”
“...Wat.”
>”You. Punch. It.”
“That’ll break my hand!”
>”Not if your wrap it, besides you need to toughen up I do it all the time!”
“Bull shit.”
>With a deadpan expression Rainbow cocks a fist up and slams it into the statue, instead of you know being a normal person and tearing up from probably breaking their hand, the damn statue just scooted back a couple of centimeters.
>”Just give it a try, you might like it!”
>These girls… They have no idea how to actually train a person do they?
>Girding yourself for sore knuckles you soon grimace as you begin to punch against the statue.
>You’re going to wind up being Stannis from how hard you're gritting your teeth as you continue to punch against the statue.

“Ow …”
>Holding your hands you gingerly feel over the knuckles and the fleshy bits.
>Winching as they throb in anger at your stupid self you suck in a hiss.
>A soft hand grabs your shoulder and you turn to see none other than Fluttershy with a rag and some peroxide.
>”F-for your hands…”
>Smiling you start to take the items only to flinch in pain the movement aggravates your skinned hands.
>Seeing your dilemma Fluttershy uses the rags and peroxide before  holding her hand out to you
>Holding your hands out Fluttershy gently takes them in her own and lightly dabs at your hands
>It burns, but it's a good pain.
>Meanwhile Applejack is tearing into Rainbow Dash, “Darn it all Sugarcube! Ah said take it easy with him!”
>Rainbow crosses her arms defiantly , “I told him to wrap his hands but no he wanted to be big macho man and try to show off.”
>Applejack flicks the rainbow girl with her finger knocking her head back, “That's where you're supposed to stop him from doin anything foolhardy, lands sakes girl you ever think that maybe he isn't on the same level as you?”
>Rainbow looks liable to continue the argument, so you decide to speak up.
“It's fine Applejack, I got in over my head there for a bit and paid for it, not her fault.”
>”There see? He knew what he did wrong, so I'd like to think I'm doing pretty good at this whole teaching thing!”
>Rolling your eyes as the two begin to devolve into friendly bickering you turn to Fluttershy and give her a smile.
“Hey, uh thanks for the peroxide and helping me.”
>Fluttershy grins ever so slightly back at you with an eye hidden behind her bangs, “I-its not a problem Anon, this is almost like caring for some of the animals at the sh-shelter.”
>Deciding to have a bit of fun you start to bounce in place.
“Ooh, ooh, oha!”
>”A-anon are you alright?”
>Feeling the gaze of the other girls on your neck you blush and avert your gaze.
“Sorry was, well trying to make a joke about me being a big ape.”
>Feeling their stares on you, you flush wondering why you thought that was a good idea.
>”Oh, well y-you mispronounced your second ooh, it should have been an uoah instead .”
“What?”
>Applejack takes the time to explain, “Shy here has been gettin training G from them zoo folks up in the city on a job shadowing thing, she actually has worked with a few apes.”
>Fluttershy nods with a slight smile, “They are ever so gentle, but you best be careful and respectful when interacting with them, they are rather s-strong .”
“Huh, that’s actually pretty cool Fluttershy .”
>”It's nothing much…”
>Rainbow pipes in “You kidding Shy you're like the best with animals, I bet you'd even get wild ones to cuddle with you if you took the chance!”
>Poor girl is blushing a storm at all the attention before she changes the subject, “W-well then we should m-move on with Anon's lesson right?”
>”Sorry Sugarcube, but I don’t think we’re going to have the time, it’s already five.” Applejack says checking the clock on the wall.
>”O-oh, w-well we have tomorrow right?”
>”Definitly! Hey we should go ahead and make up a schdule for Anon, we can alternate who trains him.” Rainbow Dash says walking towards the locker room to change.
“Sounds like a plan, so I guess I’ll see you guys tomorrow then?”
>Fluttershy gives a nod at that before Rainbow clutches her head in a panic, “Shit! I just remembered I still have that math assignment to get done! Fuck!”
>”Aw relax Sugarcube, you can come over to my place and we can figure it out.”
“I could help if you want?”
>Applejack and Rainbow both turn to you at that comment, “Really?! Dude you’d be my hero if you could help me out here!” Rainbow bursts out.
>”W-we could make it a s-sleep over th-then?”
“Yeah that sounds like a plan.”
>Applejack bends over to grab her bag and you try not to stare before she says, “Well Shy I can drive ya’ll round to the shelter and pick ya up after?”
“Shelter? You mean the place for all those animals?”
>”Mhmm, I love helping the little critters, they’re so cute!” The normally shy girl says looking quite happy.
>”Awesome, Anon you got a ride right?” Rainbow asks
“Yeah, it’s not much but it’s gone four wheels and an engine.”
>”Nice, meet up at the front then, follow my truck and we’ll take you to Sweet Apple Acres.” Applejack says before following after Rainbow into the locker room. Fluttershy soon disappears after with them.

>Waving them off you stand there waiting a few moments before you pump your fist.
“Yes!”
>Whisper shouting to yourself you jump in glee, before calming down and moving to your bag.
>Getting changed you quickly make your way to the front of the school.
>Opening the door to your ‘94 Ford Aspire you toss your bag and school stuff in watching as it rocks on the crappy shocks.
>You know you should really get those replaced, but not enough money and fuck paying some overpaid grease monkey to do it.
>Clambering in you turn the ignition and slowly drive around to wait.
>Soon a big red farm truck, a Chevy 1500 pulls up with rust along the sides, peeking up from your window you see Rainbow grinning at you.
>”There you are Anon! Dude, that’s your car?”
“Yeah, yeah I know she doesn’t look like much, you leave Shelia alone.”
>A snort of laughter escapes the soccer girl before Applejack talks over the dull roar of her truck, “Just follow after us Anon, we’re dropping off Shy first and we’ll pick her up at six, six right Shy?”
>You don’t hear the quiet girl before Rainbow gives you a thumbs up, “Cool, we’re good to go!”
>Nodding you let them pull ahead and keep pace with them even as your car makes the creaking groans that she likes to make when you use her for longer periods.

>Soon you come to a stop before the shelter and Shy is dropped off waving to your convey of all two vehicles.
>Honking your horn at her you have a chuckle at the way she jumps up in the air before following after Applejack’s tail lights.
>The trip is uneventful and you soon come onto the gravel roads of the country, a few turns and twists later finds you passing under a large sign proclaiming the Apple family farm.
>Pulling up to the truck you park and start to grab your stuff.
>”Oh Anon, Ah forgot to ask, but your folks cool with you spending the night here?”
“Huh? Oh no, it’s fine. I live by myself anyway.”
>”What? No way! How’d you get that to work?” Rainbow asks coming around the truck backpack hanging from one shoulder.
“Made a deal with my parents, they travel a lot, they worried about hiring a maid, but I convinced them that I could handle it.”
>”What they do then?” Applejack asks leading the ways up the steps.
“Business, they’re both one of them power couples you know? Mum used to run a make up thing and Dad was good at sealing deals for big companies.”
>”Huh, neat, so I’m having trouble with the worksheet here.” Rainbow says pulling a folder out.
>”Applejack, is that you up front?” An aged voice calls out from deeper in the house.
>”Yep Granny, just brought some friends over for helpin’ with homework!” Applejack hollers out.
>”Alright, dinner be soon hun! How many yer friends ya bring over?”
>”Three extra, hope ya don’t mind!”
>”Naw, it’d be fine, Big Mac come help me here.”
>”Eeyup!”
>Your trio soon find yourselves in a small living room, a television is playing a cartoon and Applebloom is lounging on the couch with a look of boredom.
>Spotting you Applebloom gets a wicked grin on her face, “Applejack, why’d you bring over a fella to spend the night?~”
>Applejack simply tosses her back on the couch and flicks her sister in the back of the head, “None of that now, Non’s just here to help me and Rainbow out with our homework.”
“Oh yeah I bet it’s biology!” Applebloom says still smirking at you.
>”You little twerp!” Rainbow says as she tackles Applebloom and begins to give her a noogie, a light blush on her blue face. “Take it back ya little perv!”
“Yikes Rainbow ease up on the child abuse, eh? She’s just trying to get a rise out of you.”
>Applebloom gets free long enough to get off another comment, “I bet somethin’ goin’ to get a rising!”
>Feeling your cheeks heat up you simply look at Rainbow and nod.
>[Squealing Children Intensifies]
>”Alright, alright stop ya’ll gonna make her bald at this rate!” Applejack says with a laugh,  breaking up Rainbow and Applebloom, “Now Bloom you got your homework done right?”
>Seeing the littlest apple nod Applejack smiles before asking, “And yer chores?”
>Applebloom’s eyes dart upstairs and she gives a nervous smile, “Lemme go double check?”
>”Sure Sugarcube, I’ll give all the time ya need.” Watching Applebloom run up the stairs Applejack turns to you and Rainbow, “Onery varmit, so about that homework.”
“Yeah, what’s the problem you guys are having with it?”
>Drawing out your own homework you look over it with the girls and help them out as you work.
>Time passes as it is want to do and you soon smell the home cooked meal from the kitchen.
>A gurgling roar comes from Rainbow’s direction making you look over at the soccer girl.
>”What? I haven't gotten to eat since lunch!” Rainbow cries out with a flush.
>Applejack stands up with a laugh and stretch out.
>The way her back bends out sends her bushel out makes you bite your lip.
>”...should get Shy. Anon you wanna come with?”
“What? Oh, yeah sure.”
>Wait.
>What!?
>Shit your going to be alone with Applejack?
>Okay cool it down Anon your just going on a ride to get Fluttershy that's all.
>Rainbow hangs upside down on the couch fiddling with a pen before saying, “Hurry back, Granny Smith made meat loaf I bet!”
>Applejack waves her off while you get your shoes back on, “Just go ahead and eat ya mobile black hole.”
>Snickering at the indignant hey from Rainbow you soon relax before following Applejack out to her truck.
“Jeez it's dark, how can you even see out here?”
>Hearing the truck open your eyes are assaulted by the light throwing a golden outline around Applejack frame, “Shucks ain't nothin more than memorization of where Ah left things is all.”
“Easy for you I guess, have to park in a different spot every other day for room.”
>Starting the truck Applejack gives a laugh, “Well shoot Sugarcube if’n you didn't live up in the city you wouldn't need to worry about that.”
>Watching as the trees slip past you glance over at Applejack secret like.
>The way the dash board lights really compliment her face…

“M-maybe, though you do have to admit there are more options in the city.”
>Applejack shrugs making her shirt shift to show a bit of her tan line on her chest.
>Feeling the blood rush to your face you look back to the scenery before frowning.
“Hey, isn't this the bad part of town?”
>Passing by a house with peeling paint and a cracked sidewalk with over stuffed trash cans you hear Applejack  sigh.
>”Yep, Fluttershy and her dang shelter are near the outskirts of this part and where it turns onto CHS.”
“I didn't think it was that poorly funded.”
>”Well that's another reason Ah don't like the city, not enough folks willing to get the job done.”
>Before you can say something back Applejack turns into the parking lot.
>Ahead is a small run down building with a paddock for animals to run outside in.
>”That's odd, she ain't out here.” Applejack says leaning on the steering wheel
“Lights are off, think she just walked somewhere to wait?”
>Applejack  shakes her head, “Naw she'd stick around since she knew we were going to pick her up.”
>Reaching in her pants she pulls out her phone and starts to tap away, “Lemme try texting her.”
>While you wait you keep scanning the area for a hint of pink, but instead you see a blur be tossed out of the alley way across the street!
>It turns out to be a hooded figure that pounds his fists on the ground before tearing up dirt to run back in the alley.
“Did you see that?”
>”See what?” Applejack asks looking up from her phone
“Across the street some guy got chucked out of it and charged back in, I think we should go look.”
>A serious gaze adopts Applejack as she looks to the akley, “How far he fly through the air?”
“I dunno, like ten feet?”
>”Aw hells bells, come on!” Applejack says bounding out of the truck.

>Slamming the door behind you, you follow suit after Applejack’s tail into the alley.
>In the gloom if the street lamps nearby you can make out five guys surrounding someone.
>”P-please stop, I r-really don’t w-want to hurt you.”
>That was Fluttershy!
>”Bitch we are going to fuck you dry after what you did to Crystal.”
>Shit
>Before you or Applejack can reach the mob one of them lunges forward, but instead of a cry of feminine pain.
>You hear the muffled thud of a body hitting the ground and a man's low groan.
>”You idiots, just rush her now! She can't stop all of us!” One of the thugs calls out.
>He's the first one to get a elbow to the head as you and Applejack crash into their flank.
>”Shit! They took out Lightning!” One of the crowd shouts before they rush at you!
>You can’t keep track of the battle as you have two of the bastards try to jump you.
>A sloppy haymaker is made your way and you raise an arm up to block.
>Hearing a muffled thump you bring your other arm up in the same punch that Rainbow had you practicing.
>Arm to the side, fist cocked, and push!
>A muffled whoosh of displaced air is the result as you hit the bugger in the stomach.
>You don’t get a chance to celebrate as his friend comes in with a swing at your head.
>Jerking back from the blow you feel a burning line on your cheek.
>Wrapping your arm around the blocked swing you bring him around to body block his friend.
>A muffled oof is heard from the tossed mugger.
>Before you can catch your breath the other bastard comes at you with that damn knife of his!
>Eyeing the knife with worry the mugger chuckles, “I already bloodied ya, why don’t you just leave before I have to cut that pretty face, eh?”
“Fuck off asshole.”
>”Tried to let ya go kid, no hard feelings!”
>Rushing forward the mugger goes for another swing!
>Holding your breath you duck down under the swing and tackle him to the ground with your shoulder!
>You both hit the ground with a muffled thud.
>Before you’re able to capitalize on your move you feel your shoulder burn in agony!
>Screaming you jerk back and start to punch, a red haze starting to fall over your vision as you batter away the knife hand as you start to lay into the punk below you.
>At first you have to lock your legs in place as he tries to buck you off, but you just keep punching.
>Eventually he stops to buck you off and you keep punching.
>You hands start to throb with the blows.
>Yet.
>You.
>Don’t.
>Stop.
>Punching.

>It’s only when you feel arms wrap around you that you stop, jerking in place looking wildly around to see tanned arms holding you fast.
>Faintly you can hear something shouting.
>”-op! You need to calm down Anon! Now!”
>”O-oh my, h-he’s bleeding alot.”
>”Shy not now! Help me with him!”
>Slowing your struggles you start to take note of the injuries you’ve collected.
>Mainly that you got fucking stabbed in the back.
>Clearing your throat, god was it always that sore?
“I-I’m fine, w-wha-”
>”Bullshit, you got stabbed Anon, we need to get you to the shelter or a hospital.”
>Feeling rather woozy you agree, you can faintly hear Fluttershy mention something about stitches.
>Man, Applejack is pretty…
>Your back hurts too…
>Dropping your head you jerk as you feel a slap to the cheek!
>Staring at the source of pain you see Applejack looking scared.
>”Anon! I need you to stay awake! Alright?”
>Aw man, you made her worried...
“Uh, yeah. Sorry…”
>Your helped across the street towards the shelter where Fluttershy unlocks the door.
>You try your hardest to stay awake, but Applejack is so damn warm…
>When you are laid on a cold steel table does that wake you up!
>Face down you can only shift a bit as Fluttershy starts to talk in a soothing voice, “Applejack I need you to get me a needle, thread, some of the tranquilizer from the locked cabinet, the key is in the drawer below it.”
>”Shy Ah know you’re good with animals, but this is a whole different thing!”
>Their voices are starting to fade in and out and you groan quietly to yourself, you hate being a bother…
>”I know what I’m doing Applejack, now hurry, he doesn’t have much time!”
>You are only aware of a faint prickling sensation before oblivion comes to claim you.
