- >strapping young lad, you decided school was for nerds and went off to spend your teenage years making some sweet shekles
- >you'd grown up in Ponyville, and Sweet Apple Acres was where you got most of your work done before
- >gave you some nice muscles, you aren't bulky or anything but you're still pretty fit
- >and Sweet Apple Acres is great
- >but you needed a change of scenery
- >fortunately for you, you'd overheard Granny Smith talking to her kids about work down south on some cherry farm
- >so you hopped right on that
- >as a bonus, none of the Apples wanted to leave home so there wasn't even any competition for it
- >feels good
- >so you've been doing harvesting and sorting and the like
- >lots of grunt work
- >you have a little place all to yourself on the farm
- >just a small... well, shack would be an accurate description, but it's not shabby in any sense of the word
- >there are a few other little homes around yours where other permanent resident workers reside
- >things are alright
- >you're working the conveyer belt today, sorting yellow from red
- >you're sure they have actual names but it's just yellow and red to you
- >you gotta admit, not your favorite thing to do
- >most of the time
- >"Hello, everypony!"
- >everypony murmers and quips back a smattering of hellos
- >you don't dare look up, so you smile down at the cherries as you listen to her voice
- >Cherry Jubilee, proprietor of the farm and your boss
- >well, the boss of your boss, anyway
- >you don't know what it is about her, but whenever she's in a room, it always seems to brighten up a bit
- >probably just a stupid colthood crush
- >even if you are just a bit older than a colt by now
- >but how else do you explain it?
- >you haven't even had extended conversations with her at all
- >in fact, that longest conversation you've had with her was when you said hello to her one morning as you were walking into the cherry orchard
- >naturally, you refused to make eye contact and nearly collapsed from hyperventilating
- >you continue to do your job, whistling softly to yourself as Cherry walks over to talk to the foreman
- >your ears flick back as you try and catch some of the conversation
- >something about production and employee benefits
- >you can only catch so much around the noise of the workroom
- >suddenly, they stop, and you hear hoof beats approaching you
- >quickly, you attempt to look busy
- >"Anon!"
- >fug
- "Y-Yes, Foreman?"
- >Foreman Silver Chain is standing right behind you
- >you can almost feel him breathing down your neck
- >that might have to do with the fact that he's breathing down your neck
