Welcome to Gaia! ::

Applejack led Cloud inside and gave him a seat at the table. She emptied her baskets and took them off outside before coming in. She shook off and sat down at the table. "Ah hope you guys don' mind if Cloud here joins us. He's new, so give him some space." AJ look over at cloud, then started pointing around the table. "This is Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, And Apple Fritter will be joining us any minute. Applebloom would be here, but She's out with her friends." Seconds later, Apple Fritter came in with a fresh apple pie and a few cold mugs of cider. She set out the drinks and gave everypony a slice. "Eat up." She said. AJ glared at Big Mac, who was staring at Cloud. Everypony started eating.

Applejack looked over as everypony finished up. She could tell he liked it. Applejack gave another quiet yawn, then smiled. "Best in all o' Equestria, ain't it?" She chuckled. "Now, Let's get goin. Where ya headin', Sugarcube?" Applejack stood and drank the last of her cider. Apple Fritter came around and collected all the dishes. AJ gave a nod to her. "Thank ya."

"Ah think there's one near Sugarcube Corner. Those fancy ponies moving to Canterlot are sellin'. Really nice place, If ya ask me. Just too peppy for mah taste." She said. "Now, get along before it's too late. Ah'll show ya round." Applejack nodded to the others before trotting out the door and out the front gate. She motioned for him to follow.

Applejack found herself leading this colt to the house. As soon as they reached their destination, AJ sighed. "Alright. If y'all need any help, go to Sugarcube corner-" She paused and pointed. "- and talk to Pinkie Pie. Ah need to get back to work. See ya, Cloud." Applejack started back to Sweet Apple Acres.

*Comes out of the Kitchen after forgetting to turn the oven off see's Cloud and goes into my usual hyperactive mode*Hi you must be new to ponyville my name is pinkei pie I throw parties 24/7, if I want to, and I like cupcakes do you like cupcakes? I love cupcakes especially the rainbow colored cupcakes, they taste delicious also you must have met applejack, because you probablly couldn't find your way here on your own, and you didn't have a home! How do I know you don't have a homes?" you ask? well it's simple your new to ponyville after all! which reminds me maybe you can help me with the cupcakes in the kitchen, I just burned them on accident, and I need to make more for a special order, to Somepony who wants to remain anonymous!

At this, Cloud took a deep breath, and replied: "Well sure I'll help you do you need someone to watch the timer or something so the cupcakes don't burn while you're distracted? I do like cupcakes and so apparently does this mysterious customer I suppose! And you are right I'm new and it was Applejack who showed me the way here and said that I should ask you for help if I needed it which I might do but I haven't run into any trouble yet so we'll see!" Cloud panted, but gave a friendly grin nonetheless.

"This might sound like a silly question," Cloud ventured, "but did you turn the oven off?" He was a little worried. He had hoped it would just involve baking. He wasn't a great cook, but he could follow directions and make a palatable meal. He knew a little fire safety, but had hoped someone working in a kitchen would be better versed in it than he.

Applejack soon reached the farm. Big Macintosh greeted her with the usual quiet nod, but he stopped her before she moved on. "Are you plannin' on gettin back to work? You look mighty tired, Maybe Ah should take over." He said with a look of concern. Applejack looked down and yawned. "Yeah, Ah think Ah'll hit the hay. In a bit, though." Big Mac shook his head. "Alright, then." Applejack continued on, only to be interrupted seconds later by an owl fluttering into her face. "Pff!" She shooed it. "Get!" She swung her hoof, but the owl went on top of her hat. She snorted at it. Thats when she saw the note. She took it from the owl and read it. "That many apples?" She shook her head. "Ah guess.." She went inside and grabbed a slip of paper, scribbling something down with her mouth. She handed it to the owl. "Return to sender." She stuttered out, hoping the owl would understand. The paper she had recieved, the place was scribbled out. So she wrote to meet her at Sugar Cube Corner. "T'aint a far walk." AJ told herself, then began collecting apples.
