An Apple for the Teacher - Normal Norman (incomplete)

Being Norman

>"So as Ah was sayin' the Apple family was vital to the history of this town" Orange's grandma was telling us the story of how she came to this place and her family started their farm during dinner
>Pink, Yellow, Orange and Orange's siblings look as if they had heard the story thousands of times, they probably did, but to me this is a new tale and quite an interesting one
>Pink and me are here because of the little prank she and my parents played on me and Yellow, which for some reason got the Aryan beauty depressed, I guess she thought I wouldn't be a good enough guy for her best friend. She may be right, after all I'm the racist the school hates, some of that hate could have gone to Yellow if she was my girlfriend
>Yellow is here because she likes to spend time with us and she gets to work with the animals she loves so much. I still think she shouldn't force herself too much to help us as she's not really fit for this kind of labor
>I really like working here, it's a lot of effort, but I love farmwork; It's a surprisingly-satisfying alternative to Triple-XP weekends
>Plus,I get to spend time with the girls and Red; Also, Orange's family always treats us to dinner which is delicious, and even more yummy after a hard day of work, I'd like it to have less apples in it, but I still enjoy it whole heartedly, specially the stories Granny Smith tells us
>Is Orange's last name Smith? then, why are they the Apple family? nevermind, she'll still be Orange to me
>Whenever I'm not working or hanging out with my friends while on the farm I like talking to Granny Smith. She can be a little excentric from time to time but she's nothing compared to my parents in that respect
>Today I'm working on a different field that the others, and there's a sun that's practically burning everything, my hat is just not made for this sort of weather
>Suddenly "Over here sonny, you dont wanna be under this heat with that hat, wear this instead" Granny Smith is so kind

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

>She lent me the coolest cowboy hat I've ever seen
>"Drink a bit of water too, Ah don't wanna see ya turnin' into a raisin" Granny Smith says
>"Hahaha, that won't happen yet, don't worry" I replied joyfully as I accepted the hat and water
>She Stayed there with me for almost one hour telling me stories of her son while I worked
>"Ah'm too old to stand this heat, so Ah'm goin' home" I walk her back to her place and go to work once again "thanks sonny, yer such a good lad"
>This hat is awesome, the sun doesn't bother me anymore, I can only feel a soft breeze that helps me remain fresh despite the heat and the arduous work of tilling fields
>I could get used to living like this; sadly, no farm
>Once I'm done with the field I go back to Orange's house to get my things and return home
>As I arrive to the Apple family's house, I see Orange restlessly looking for something
>"Hi Orange, what's up?" I'm a bit worried, but I ask her in a jovial tone
>"I'm looking for-" her face seemed worried until she looked at me, then her expression turned into anger "gimme that hat right now"
>"Okay, I came to give it back"
>As soon as I put the hat into her reach, she forcefully takes it from my hands and puts it on her chest as if she was hugging it
>"Don't even think of touchin' this hat ever again" she looks at me with a face full of anger
>This hat must be very important to her because she hasn't stopped glaring at me during dinner, her stare feels like a knife
>Of all the people that could hate be, Orange is the one that scares me the most, she's supper strong, not as much as her brother but he knows how to control his temper. On the other hand, she will give me hell if she sees it fit. I swallow my spit every time I notice her looking menacingly at me
>As soon as she finishes eating, she stands up and says "good bye Fluttershy, Pinkie. Ah need to go to mah room" the floor trembles with every step she takes, and I the house almost falls down when she slams her door

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

>Once she was gone, Red sits by my side and speaks to me making sure no one else hears "The hat you were wearing was our dad's" I'm shocked as I hear that, I know their parents are dead, but I didn't know that awesome hat was their father's one "You should apologize to my Grandma because she can't see that hat without crying"
>How strange, I was sure she was smiling when she lent it to me
>I still, however, walk up to her and say "I'm sorry Granny Smith"
>"Don't sweat it sonny, you should however go and talk to my Applejack; she's still a sensitive and frail little girl" that sensitive and frail little girl almost destroyed your house with a door slam "just stand outside her room and talk to her, she'll sure listen to you"
>I obviously follow every word she says, because she sure knows her grandkids, and I don't want Orange to be angry at me, because she's not a delicate girl in my opinion
>"Orange, I'm sorry, I didn't know that was your dad's hat" I hear a bit of sobbing from her room, but I just stand there in silence
>After a while, she finally says "Are ya still there Norman?"
>"Yes"
>"Ah'm sorry Ah got angry at ya, it wasn't yer fault" she says with a calmer voice
>"Don't worry, we all get mad from time to time and you actually had a reason to feel that way" I try to reassure her
>"Thanks" she says "ya sould git goin', it's gettin' late"
>"Will do, see you tomorrow"
>I leave the place feeling a bit relieved after being forgiven by Orange

Bein' Applejack

>Once ev'ryone is gone, Ah go outta mah room
>"How did Norman get mah dad's hat?" It was supposed to be in mah room
>"Ah lent it to him" says Mah grandma
>"Why did you lend that guy the memento of mah dad?"
>"Lets say that the little fellow reminded me of mah sonny" What?
>"But they don't look nothin' alike" Ah say annoyed
>"Sometimes ya need to look past the appearances mah girl"
>Ah'm happy that she didn't cry this time though
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Being Norman

>Another day of school comes to an end
>After a long day of listening to "Check your privilege racist scum" I'm happy to go to the farm to vent my anger on the work
>Today I'll chop a lot of wood; lets just act as if each stick was the head of one of my classmates. Today'll be a good day at the farm
>On my way out of school, a pair of arms abducts me and pushes me into a corner. It's Orange
>"Listen here and listen good Norman, Don't go to the farm today, you fulfilled yer sentence"
>"What? I've still got like 3 weeks of labor left" I replied because I don't want to go back on my word of working there for a month
>"Well, your sentence was lifted. Be happy, now you can spend more time with Rarity"
>"Ha,ha" Is there someone who doesn't know I like the Aryan Beauty apart from herself?
>"Thanks Orange but I promised a month and a month it'll be" Wow, I'm showing lots of resolve, then again I actually like going there to work
>"Damnit Norman, why don't ya use this stubbornness of you to stand up against the ones who bully you?" good question indeed
>"I don't care if I'm bullied, but I care about keeping my word" that should be a good enough answer
>"Well, I don't care, just don't go near my grandma!" Orange's visibly annoyed
>"But I like spending time with your grandma, she's just that cool"
>"If Ah see ya near mah grandma Ah'll beat ya"
>"Why are you being like this? what have I ever done to you?" now I'm getting angry
>"Look, Ah'll just say that it's better for me and you if ya stop bein' such a good boy in front of mah granny" after saying this she glares at me once more and goes away
>The hell is wrong with her? Anyways I guess I'll better follow Orange's instructions a bit. I guess I may have made Granny Smith think about her late son, which would explain why she lent me his hat, I hope I didn't make her sad without realizing
>These thoughts fill my head as I make my way to Sweet Apple Acres
____________________________________________________________________________________________

>Yellow and Pink join me on my way to the farm
>They asked me why was I so lost in my thoughts
>"Just thinking about The Aryan Beauty" I answered with a lie
>What can I do for Orange to stop worrying about me spending do much time with her grandmother?
>Why does she care so much in the first place, it's not like Granny Smith will lend me that hat again after what happened yesterday
>I'll just act as I always do; if Orange likes it, good, if she doesn't, whatever. I also consider her Grandmother as a friend of mine
>Despite that, I spend most of the day chopping wood with Red while the girls spend the day jarring apples
>"So, how are things going with" he chuckles "The Aryan Beauty? how can you call her that way and not think you look like an idiot?" Red is usually very shy but we've become such good friends that he doesn't have problems being honest with me
>"Ha, ha, so funny. Things are going, I think, at least she doesn't hate me. And of course I'd call her a beauty; you'll only understand that whe you fall in love with someone yourself" I spoke with haughty pride
>"Well, Ah brought the topic because Ah might have found a beauty of mah own" Okay, these are some good news
>"Awesome dude, to think you'd get a girlfriend before me" a mix of happiness and envy fills my heart
"Well," Red reddens "she's not mah girlfriend, she's sorta like what you have with Rarity"
>"So nothing yet then" My envy goes away, though I'm still happy for him; afterall, being in love is a wonderful thing
>"Eeyup," he answers while looking at his toes "It's just that Ah just can't speak when she's near me"
>"Red, you can never speak. You really need to break the ice. By the way, who's the lucky girl?"
>"Have you heard about a white girl called Rarity?"
>I just glared at him with a face that could only express hate
>He laughs and says "she's not the one; the one I like is Cherilee, the library assistant"
>"Bro, I'll help you through this, you'll be dating her in no time"
_______________________________________________________


>Or so I say, I still haven't got a ghost of a chance in wooing The Aryan Beauty. Red, however, can get a chance with almost any girl he puts his eyes on, he just need to make them see all the good qualities he has
>"I know exactly what you need to do" I say with confidence "write her a love letter, with that you'll break the ice and make her notice you. Once she starts paying attention to you, you'll have her in your arms in no time"
>"Ya think so?" he asks me. I can see that my speech filled him with hope
>"Of course bro, you can get any girl you want, you just need to let them know how good you actually are. Now, tell me what you think about Cherilee so I can help you make that letter into the most romantic thing ever"
>"Shouldn't we tone down the romance a bit?" he asks "Ah think that being so straight forward about this will only scare her"
>"And that's why you have no girlfriend" Says me, the hell is wrong with me? "If you don't tell her how you feel right away, you'll never do; just look at me"
>I've just realized what's wrong with me, I don't want my friend to be forever in doubt like I am, I'll give him a little push to help him get results from his efforts in wooing her
>"Come on, start talking and tell me what you like about her"
>As he speaks about the girl he loves, I write down all he says; once he's done I add my personal touch and create the most romantic letter ever
>Red blushes as he reads my letter, it seems I captured all his feelings in that letter
>"Norman" he says "Ah really like this letter, but there are lots of things here that Ah wouldn't say"
>"Trust me on this Red, she'll like it, and when she speaks to you, you need to ask her for a date immediately. It'll sweep her off her feet"
>"Okay, but, Ah have another favor to ask ya, could you give her the letter for me?"
>"C'mon bro, you shouldn't be so shy. though the letter has your name on it so there should be no problem"
>"Thanks dude" we bump fists and finish our job for the day
_________________________


>As we get back to the house, I see my parents car parked outside
>whatever is going on there, it can't be good
>I run towards the building and red follows suit
>In there, I see my mom jarring apples with the girls
>"Hi mom," manners go first "why are you here?" I asked as soon as I got in the house
>"Can't a mother visit her son at his work?" she cries crocodile tears, but I'm not believing any of it; so I just glare at her
>Orange however, "Norman, ya shouldn't treat yer mother this way!" says this while patting mom's back
>Mom can't hold her laughter "hahahaha, you're such a good girl, my Norman could really learn a thing or two from you" Granny Smith also laughs once mom does her little bait and switch trick
>"And, where's my dad?" I ask without caring at all for the previous scene
>"Lets say your dad is in a bit of a bind right now" a sinister smile crosses her face, and for some reason I don't like the sound of that

Being Norman's dad

>Deary, I don't know how you convinced me to wear these handcuffs, but well played
>My only wish is that you had left the remote in my reach
>Why, for the love of God, why did you have to do this to me with a Care Bears marathon showing on tv?

Being Norman's mom

>Now I have my little boy all for myself. though here on the farm there's really no time to tease him, there's a lot of work to do here, I can't believe my boy is doing all this. I'm so proud
>What I like the most though is that he's winning the favor of the best girl's family; now he only need to realize that the apple girl is the best one for him
>While the kids where talking to eachother, the old apple lady came near me and told me "Yer boy's such a good lad, he reminds me of mah own late boy. He'd be a good addition to the Apple fammily" she looks at me as if she knew exactly what I'm thinking. this must be the fruit of experience
>"I also think your girl would be a good addition to my family"
>We shake hands and smile to each other
____________

>I came here to be a matchmaker, but I didn't think I'd find an ally as influential as the girl's grand mother. Coming here was a good idea after all
>The girl my hubby likes for Norman already had her chance, now it's time for apples

Being Norman

>It seems mom and Granny Smith like eachother a lot, because they haven't stopped talking and laughing
>I don't know why, but I'm not liking this
>They keep speaking to each other until the time we had to go, so no stories today
>"Norman, ya should always listen to what your mom tells you as the good boy you are. See you tomorrow"
>The good side of mom's coming is that we don't have to walk back home
>During the ride, Pink sat besides my mom
>"So," mom says "how much are you betting this time"
>"I don't think I'll be playing that game anymore" says Pink with a bit of a sad look in her face
>Yellow and me just look at each other not understanding their conversation
>We take the girls to their homes and go back to our own place
>When I open the door, I see that my dad is handcuffed to a radiator
>"Who's that comin' from somewhere up in the sky? Moving fast and bright as a firefly just when you think the trouble's gonna pounce Who's gonna be there when it really counts? Do the Care Bears Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
>My dad keeps singing that unholy song while the TV shows a Care Bears marathon. His eyes show that his spirit is broken
>"Mom! dad went nuts!" I yell in desperation
>She comes running to him after hearing me
>"Answer me dear please" she begs my dad with tears in her eyes, thess ones are real
>She hugs dad still crying. I really don't know what to do right now
>Suddenly he kisses her lips "hahaha, you fell for it"
>My mom gives him a light punch in the gut "never do that again, didn't you see how worried Norman was"
>"I won't do it again I swear" what an empty promise, if I could coun't all the times you've said that
>Mom and dad kiss again as I go up to my room
>I can't stand my parents
_____________________________________________________

>A new day, a new adventure
>"Norman's matchmaking service starts today" I joke in my room speaking as if I was in a tv show "Our first client, Red A.K.A. BigMcintosh, has got a crush on Cherilee, the library assistant. A love letter and a romantic dinner is the combo that will join these two souls into a couple. As you can see, our big guy is too shy to express his feelings directly, so our host, Norman, will give this hunk the little push he needs
>After that, comes the jingle " Norman, Matchmaking Service "
>"Hahahaha, don't you think that the Norman Matchmaking Service should help it's host confess his love to a certain Beauty?" a voice in my room scares me out of my little game
>"Uwaaaah, Pink, how did you get here!"
>"Hi Normy, don't you remember your parents gave me a key silly?" She says "get ready for school, we're running late"
>I get ready as fast as I can while Pink has breakfast in my kitchen. My parents gave her a key after that time I got depressed, so she could, in their words, come and lift my spirit. However, as I haven't been depressed, she just comes to be a nuissance, waking me up early even when there's no school, taking photos of my sleeping face and using pranks to wake me up; in short, she's my parents al over again. They get the fun of teasing me without lifting a finger
>Once I'm ready, we leave for school
>"To think that Bigmac had a thing for bookworms" says Pink on our way to school "I want to see Applejack's face when she finds out"
>I put my hands on her shoulders and say "You can't tell Orange or anyone else, okay? if anyone else gets to know about this, Red won't trust me ever again. So promise not to tell anyone about this"
>"I Pinkie promise!" she does her stupid chant "but seriously, you should use your romancing techniques on Rarity, she may like them"
>"Nah, she wouldn't fall for me just because of some flowery words, I'm not even half the man she deserves"
>"Norman, I swear to God!" Pink says enraged
_______________________________________________

>Pink gets away annoyed, stomping the floor and kicking stones
>Aside from that, the day goes as it normally does, until clases are over
>It's time!
>With the love letter at hand, I run to the library
>On my way there I see Orange "Yo, Orange! can you tell Granny Smith that I won't go to work today?" I yell at her
>"Okay!" she yells back
>I hope Granny smith doesn't mind me skipping work
>Once all that is done, I go and enter the library
>Cherilee is doing all the work here despite being a student. She most likely volunteered to work here
>Whenever she sees you with a troubled face in the library, she comes to help you out she always knows what book is the one you need and you always get good grades when she helps you, she would be a great teacher, I think I saw her reading books to children in the public library once
>I can see why Red would fall in love with her, she's got the whole package, looks, kindness, intelligence, easily a 7/10 in my book. She obviously doesn't compare to The Aryan Beauty. It's for that reason that I think the techniques from all those romantic movies I've watched may work on her, The Aryan Beauty may be too refined for these kinds of tricks, but a normal girl is sure to be swept off her feet
>Wow, things are really hectic here, it's as if Cherilee could multiply herself to do all the things she does here
>I was thinking of leaving the letter on a desk for her to find it but, seeing how busy she is, she may not see it. I'm going to have to give it to her in person
>I approach her and say "Excuse me, there was a letter on the desk I was sitting on, and I think it's for you"
>As my reoutation precedes me, Cherilee is wary of me; however, when she notices her name in the letter, she accepts it with no complaints
>"Well then, later" I really don't know what to say to her, I don't know her that much
>She just looks at me and nods "good bye and thanks"
>I can see her smiling and blushing a bit when she reads the letter.
>It's working
_____________________________

>Objective 1 accomplished, now I must tell Red to wait at the accorded place

Being Rarity

>Ever since Pinkie, Fluttershy and Norman started working at Sweet Apple Acres I've been so bored that I can't even inspire myself to design. So, I'll look for inspiration in the works of others; lets go to the library
>Is that Norman running out of the library? I'd greet him, but he seems to be in a hurry
>He must be running late to hi his work on the farm. He didn't even notice me. To be fair, he ran in the opposite direction from me; but I would have still liked to have him look at me
>Anyways, it's good to see that he's earnest. I should be as enthusiastic as he is with my own job
>When I enter the library, I witness an uncommon scene; Cherilee is not jumping from bookshelf to bookshelf as usual, instead, she's sitting at a desk reading a piece of paper
>She seems to be lost in her thoughts
>I don't want to be taken for a busybody, but seeing her with her head on the clouds really makes me wonder what's in that paper
>"Hello there Cherilee!" my greeting gets her out of her trance "I can't help but notice that you seem unusually distracted today. May I ask why?"
>"Hi Rarity" I've known her for a while and I've never seen her with such a mixture of feelings, she seems happy and worried at the same time "it's just that the racist boy, Norbert I think, gave me this love letter"
>What? that can't be, Norman barely knows Cherilee, he can't have fallen in love with her!
>"Don't worry, the letter was not from him, he just found it on a desk" phew, it's good to know that "if these letter was his I wouldn't have accepted it in the first place; that guy's scary"
>Come on Cherilee, you can't be like the rest of the school. I still understand what you mean though; all those rumors do make Norman seem like a bad person
>"So," I say. I'm slightly annoyed, but I won't let it show "why do you look so worried?"
>"This letter is from the guy I like" she says
>"That's wonderful"
_____________________________________________

>"The problem is," Cherilee says "that this letter is so intense that it doesn't feel as if he worte this at all, so this may be some joke Norland is trying to play on me"
>Come on Cherilee, what has Norman ever done to you "It just so happens that Norman is one of my friends, and I guarantee you that he wouldn't joke with such a delicate matter"
>"How can you be friends with such a scary guy, I heard he kidnapped Fluttershy's pet bunny and asked for a videogame console as a ransom" that was a misunderstanding though "and then when everyone gave him the honor of being paired up with Fluttershy, he just went and said he would never go out with a yellow aberration" I'm pretty sure those were not the words he used. Why does he always make things worse for himself when trying to fix something, it's as if there was some kind of external force driving him to take bad decisions just for it's amusement
>This is no time to ponder about the misteries of life, I wan't to see if I can help Cherilee as she has done many times for me
>"I happen to be an expert in romance" I've watched many movies and read a lot of books about romantic stories "I could give you some counseling, if you want." she nods "Let me see that letter"
>She reluctantly hands it to me; I read it and, "This is the most romantic letter I've ever read" not even the ones in the movies hold this much passion
>"There's no way this letter is fake, you should go to the meeting place and talk to him"
>"But this letter is so intense, it's hard to believe it was written by BigMcintosh" she says
>"Look, this is just how much he loves you, he's just so shy that he can't tell you about the passion his heart contains" I'd love to have someone love me like that, but it most likely won't happen. I wonder how would Norman act if he was in love with me
>"Just go and I'll tell you how to act, you like Bigmac afterall, right?"
>"Yes, Iike him"
>"Then. I shall be your cupid"
___________________________________________

Bein' Applejack

>Ah'm finally back at mah place. Now's mah chance to convince mah grandma that Norman is not such a dependable guy afterall
>"Grandma, Norman won't be comin' today" hehehe, you're so proud of him anymore, right?
>"Oh, I already know, BigMcintosh told me that the little fellow would be helping him with something today. How responsible of him to excuse himself" darn it, is there no way to get that out of your head?
>"Also," Grandma continues "from tomorrow on, you'll be working side by side with Norman"
>"What? why? shouldn't he work with Bigmac?"
>"Look sugarcube" she says "when you leave boys alone, they can only do two things, speak about girls or stupid stunts. And Ah aint gonna wait for the second thing to happen!"
>"Hahaha, you found them talkin' about girls? but there's nothing wrong with that"
>"Every second they spend chit-chattin' is a second they don't spend workin'"
>So they are bein' separated for slackin' I can't help but find it funny. It also works for me because mah grandma is seein' that the little man is not as good as she thinks he is

Bein' Granny Smith

>Hehehe, you're fallin' right into mah trick sugarcube
>To think that you actually think I'm separating the boys as a punishment. They're actually quite the good workers
>Once you spend time with mah little fellow you'll start seein' him in the way I do
>Look at her workin' so happily with her friends. Bait and switch always works
>I love seein' her smile like this, specially when she's unknowingly doin' somethin' for me against her will
>Time to call mah sugarcube's mother in law
>"Hello. Ah'm fine thank you. Oooh yeah today's episode was great, I recorded it for you..."
(Thirty minutes later)
>"So as Ah was sayin' from tomorrow on, our lttle lovebirds are gonna be spendin' a lot of time together. See ya later"
>It seems that all the apples are in the right basket so far

Being Norman's mom

>All according to the plan

Bein' Big Macintosh

>"Listen Red, she already knows you like her thanks to the letter, now you will confirm it to her by saying you love her with your own words. Understood?"
>Wow, Norman, you're a really good friend, but you can be so pushy at times. It's no wonder Applejack doesn't like you that much; you can be very similar at times
>"Eeyup"
>"And remember to invite her to a date after you tell her how much you love her, this is your chance to impress her despite your shyness, you already broke her defenses with that letter. If she comes it's because she likes you; that wouldn't surprise me at all because you're one of the coolest guys ever. So go get her tiger" he says
>Ah can't believe you actually think Ah'm cool, you're a pretty cool guy too. But right now Ah understand what you mean when you complain about Pinkie never shutting up
>"Eeyup"
>"Look," Norman says "there she comes, remember my advices and do your best"
>Before I can say a word, Norman disappeared from mah sight
>It's time to be a real man

Being Norman
>and Rarity
(Norman's lines will be black and Rarity's will be green)

It's your time to shine, I have all my faith in you; just be brave and dashing
>Cherilee you can do it, just remember to be elegant, almost distant, but a tiny bit coquettish so he can get a hint that you like him
