Aanon in Equestria Part 4: Applejack

Knock knock knock.
>The door opens, and a guy in a red plaid jacket and rugged brown pants walks out. He had a twig in his mouth, and didn't say anything.
Is this Apple Orchards?
Guy: Eeyup
Do you know where Applejack is?
Guy: Eeyup.
>He points to the orchard where somep0ny was kicking a tree.
Thanks.
Guy: Eeyup.
>He closes the door, and you walk over to her. She was wearing an orange plaid shirt, and rugged brown pants. She had boots on, which seemed to be very worn down. She had blonde hair, pulled up in a giant ponytail, which ran down to her waist. She was walking over to a tree, and putting baskets all around it. You then watch her as she takes a running start, and kicks the trunk of the tree. The tree starts to shake, and every single apple falls into one of the basket, not a single one was dropped. She grins, and then turns around and sees you.
Applejack: Well howdy there! Do you need somethin?
I came here about the ad you had in the paper. I want the job.
Applejack: Well it's about time! We've had that ad in there for I reckon five days! Hold on a sec, let me get a good look at'cha.
>She walks around you, and you get a little nervous.
Applejack: Well, you seem to be in good shape! I bet you can lift these bushels of apples, can't ya?
>You walk over to the buckets, and try lifting one of them, making sure to use your legs as you lift. They weren't so bad, probably about 35 pounds each. It would probably suck doing it all day.
Applejack: Well ok then! What I want you to do is when I get down buckin down a tree, you take the crates over to that barn, and give them to the pony in there. Then you take the crate back here, and help me set them up again. You got it partner?
>You nod.
>You start off slow, and then begin to pick up speed. The work was pretty simple, although it did suck to have to carry the buckets after about an hour of lifting them. The pony in the barn turned out to be a very old looking pony. She seemed happy to sort the good apples from the bad though. She seemed to smile everytime  you walked in, kind of like your grandma.
>After about 5 hours of working, the sun started to come down. You finish your last run to the barn, and drop the buckets off by the house. Applejack goes over and gives you a bag of coins.
Applejack: Here you go- what's your name again?
>You don't think you actually told her your name.
My name's Aanon.
Applejack: Well then Aanon, here you go, 50 bits seems fair enough, don't ya think?
>You still had no idea how much a bit was, so you just smile and nod.
Applejack: Well ok then Aanon! I'll see ya tomorrow, at 11 o'clock, ok?
Sounds good to me. See you later!
Applejack: Oh by the way, where are you staying at? I've never seen you in town before.
Oh, I'm staying at the library with Twilight.
Applejack: You know Twilight? And she's letting you stay with her? I've never known Twi to let people spend the night with her before, besides her close friends. You must be really special Aanon.
>You have to turn around, before Applejack embarrasses you even more. You thought that Twilight was one of those people that liked anyone to stay over at her house. You didn't know that she was just as private as you. What does that mean?
Applejack: Well, I'll see you later sugarcube! Have a nice evening now, ya hear?
>With that, you leave, and hear the door shut behind you.
>You start walking once again. You were pretty tired, but you smiled, knowing that you accomplished a lot today. Applejack was the nicest boss you had. You actually couldn't wait to finish that harvest. You just wish you knew how much she had just paid you. How much is a bit? Is it like a dollar, or a penny, or something in between? You had no idea, but knew it had to be a fair amount. She seemed like an honest p0ny after all.
>By now, the sky was totally dark, and the stars have come out. You can see the different constellations, and even noticed a few of yours. It's weird, some of them even looked like they were moving. Probably because of magic. Of course it's because of magic.
>You finally reach the door of Twilights home, still gazing at the stars.
Knock knock knock kno-
>almost immediately, the door opens, and Twilight comes out and tackles you in a hug. You were too surprised to even try to balance yourself in time, and she knocks you on your back, effectively knocking the wind out of you. Twilight then breaks the hug and stands up, and has a stern expression on her face.
Twilight: Where were you? Iwassoworriedthatsomethinghappenedtoyou! IwenttoRarity'sandshesaidyouleft, butyoudidn'tcomehome! Wherewereyou!?
>You still had the breath knocked out of you, so it was taking you a while to respond.
I *wheeze* went to  *gasp* Applejacks *pant*
Twilight: For what?
>You finally gained the ability to breath again. You stand up.
She had a job offering, so I took it.
Twilight: Ohh, ok. Well you should have told me! I was so worried about you!
I'm sorry. It won't happen again Twi.
>You both go inside. You see that her hair was slightly messed up, and her eyes were a little bloodshot. Man, she must have been really worried..
Twilight: Are you hungry? I was just about to make dinner.
Grgrgr.
Twilight: *giggle* I'll take that as a yes!

>Once again, you are in the kitchen with Twilight. She's decided to make a nice macaroni salad, with dandylion sandwiches. You decided not to tell her that it is considered an annoying weed where you come from. She cuts the carrots and celery while you boil the macaroni. When it is done, you both sit down and she starts to eat.
>You look at your sandwich. You knew that if you ate this at home, people would give you weird looks. You know that you have to suck it up and eat it, especially since Twilight made this. You take  a bite, and almost immediately want to spit it out. There was no way you could finish this alone, so you put your macaroni salad in with the sandwich to help with the texture and flavor. You take another bite. Much better.
>This whole time, Twilight has been watching you eat.
Twi: What are you doing?
>You didn't have the heart to tell her that the sandwich tasted like crap.
I like to experiment.
>Nice save, because that was total bullcrap.
Twi: First the peanut butter, now this? You are full of surprises Aanon.
>You both finish the meal, and you help Twilight with the dishes.
Hey Twi?
Twi: Yeah?
I was just wondering, how are you going to send me back home?
>Was she a little upset at that? Nah.
Twi:Well, I was digging through some old spell books, and I think I found one that could send you back home. I need to build up my energy first. If I'm going to send you back, it will take a lot.
How much energy could it possibly take? I've seen you do amazing things without storing energy.
>She blushes. You love making her do that, she looks so cute when she does.
Twi: I think it will take about a week.
That's great! I can't wait to-
>Twilight looks pretty upset about it. To be honest, you will miss this place. You've only been here for 2 days, and feel right at home.
Well, if I'm only going to be here for a week, I might as well make it last. I have to help Applejack with the harvest again tomorrow, but we should do something before I go.
Twi: Yeah! That sounds like a good idea! we could go into town, and I can have you meet the rest of my friends!
>You yawn.
That sounds great Twi, but we should talk about the rest of it tomorrow. I'm really tired now.
Twi: Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Since I knew that you would be staying a while longer, I'm going to let you sleep upstairs on the guest bed!
You had a guest bed, and I slept on a couch last night? Why didn't you tell me?
>She seemed nervous.
Twi: Well, the guest bed is right across from mine, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if.. I mean, I still don't really know you..
No need to explain Twi.
>You understood. You wouldn't let a complete stranger sleep right next to you either.
>You and Twilight both go upstairs. You look at the beds. They only had about 3 feet of space from the ends of the beds. Twilight goes into the bathroom, and comes out in some really cute pajamas. It was extremely sexy, and her cleavage was showing. You turn away, knowing exactly what would happen if you looked at her for too long. You were going to be thinking about her all night now.
>You couldn't tell since you turned away, but she was a little hurt that you turned away from her.

Twi>Does he not find me attractive? I've never worn these before, but Rarity said they would definitely impress a stallion..
>She sighs, having no idea that you were thinking the complete opposite.
