- >Day 3 in Equestria
- >You are Applejack
- >You wake up and rise groggily from your bed
- >Begin the same routine you go through every morning
- >You knock on Applebloom's door to wake her up
- >The door slowly swings open when your hoof hits it
- >Huh, usually Applebloom keeps the door closed
- >Before you can investigate, you hear the front door creak open then close again
- "Big Mac must be gettin' an early start." you say to yourself
- >As you enter Applebloom's room, you notice the bed is empty
- >Your half-awake mind works on processing the situation
- >Processing...
- "APPLEBLOOM!"
- >There it is
- >You rush downstairs and outside
- >You barely catch the sight of your sister trotting down the path to her clubhouse
- >You rush back inside and wake Big Mac
- >You are Subject Delta
- >You sit in the tiny clubhouse, awaiting the return of your Little Sister
- >You wonder how you've stayed alive in this world without Eleanor
- >You need to get back to her. Who knows how long you'll last without her?
- >As you stare out the window, lost in thought, you see Applebloom trotting down the dirt path toward you
- >Damn she's early, the sun is barely peaking over the horizon
- >You hear the telltale sound of hooves on wood as she reaches the stairs
- >You rise and open the door
- >The first thing you notice is Applebloom, smiling at you as she climbs the steps
- >The second thing you notice is the larger red pony galloping down the path towards you
- >Adrenaline courses through you as you leap to the bottom of the stairs and pull Applebloom behind you
- >The larger pony grinds to a halt only 20 yards away from you, and stares at you
- >Applebloom steps beside you
- "Anon, why'd you- Big Mac?"
- >She looks at Big Mac, then back to you
- >You both stare at each other with an intensity that would kill a lesser man
- >You were both driven by the need to protect your family
- >He scrapes a hoof against the ground, preparing for a charge
- >You had to admit, this guy had to have some pretty massive balls
- >You were a 7 foot tall armored juggernaut with an industrial drill for an arm, yet he was ready to fight you for the safety of his family
- >A tumbleweed rolls between the two of you
- >The tension in the air is palpable
- >The only sound is that of leaves being rustled by a slight breeze
- >You decide this has gone on long enough
- >A gust of wind causes the clubhouse door to close
- >The slam of the door is like a starting gun
- >Big Mac charges forward, head lowered
- >You run at him starting up your drill
- >You both meet in the middle
- >You grab him by the neck and lift him, ready to impale him with your drill
- >He rears back his legs, preparing to kick you in the gut
- "STAHP IT! BOTH OF YOU!"
- >You and Big Mac freeze in place and look at Applebloom
- >Your drill stops and he lowers his legs
- "Ah don't wanna see y'all fight." she says
- >She seems to be on the verge of tears
- >You and Big Mac turn to each other
- >Neither of you wants to see Applebloom cry
- >You lower Big Mac and set him back on the ground
- >Applebloom wipes her eye and turns to her brother
- "Big Mac, please don't hurt Anon, he's my friend" she says with a pleading tone
- >Big Mac sighs and looks up at you
- >"Ah don't know what ya are, and Ah don't trust ya. But my sister does, so Ah won't hurt ya."
- >Applebloom tells Big Mac how you met, and what she knows about you
- >She finishes talking and Big Mac looks back to you
- >"Whatever ya are, the Princess'll wanna know about ya."
- >"And if Applebloom trusts ya, then Ah do too." he holds out his hoof
- >You take his hoof in your hand and shake it
- >As you release his hoof, you glance behind him and notice another pony at the entrance to the clearing
- >This one has an orange coat and a cowboy hat
- >The pony is staring at you with wide eyes a dropped jaw
- >Oh shit, how long has she been there?
- >Big Mac turns his head and looks behind him
- >"Uh-oh." is all he says
- >The orange pony shakes herself from her daze and slowly trots over to the three of you
- >"Ya lifted Big Mac like he was nothin'. What in Celestia's name are ya?" she asks
- >Applebloom speaks up
- "Applejack, this is Anon, he's mah new friend. Ah was gonna ask Fluttershy what he was, but she got scared."
- >Applejack circles you, inspecting your diving suit
- >"Ah can see why." she states
- >You feel like some kind of science experiment
- >"Well if he's gonna be stayin' on the farm, he's gonna have to work."
- >Her inspecting is starting to annoy you
- >You rev your drill and AJ jump
- >"Yeah, we can find a use fer that too." she says, scratching her head
- >That's not quite what you meant, but ok
- >The Apple family leads you to a barn near their house
- >Applebloom speaks up
- "Ya can stay here, Anon! It's closer to the house, so now we can play more!"
- >She hops around smiling
- >You hope this is only temporary
- >This world was completely different from the world you knew, the world you were made for
- >You had to get back to Eleanor
- >You had to get back to Rapture
- End Day 3
