"Whatcha got there?" "Apples from the apple fairy." >The little filly blinks owlishly >"Apple fairy? What the hay's that?" >You shrug "Someone that breaks into my house everyday and leaves a bunch of apples around my house for some reason." >You receive another blank look >"Is that right?" "Yep, it's been happening for a couple of days now." >Nodding slowly, the little earth pony follows you as you step off your porch and onto the dirt road that led to town >"Ain't ya worried 'bout whoever's breakin' into yer house?" >You shrug again "Nah, not really." >Humming thoughtfully you look down at your bag of apples "Hey, you think Cheerilee would want these for her class? I got so many apples I don't know what to do with all of them." >It's Applebloom's turn to shrug >"You can come an' ask 'er if'n you feel like it," she tells you. "I'll take a couple if you're really hankerin' to get rid of 'em." >You can't help but smile at that >Those silly little appul horses really do love their apples >That and their countryisms "I got a bit before my shift starts so I can go and ask her. At the very least I can just dump them off you kids when teacher pone isn't looking." >There's a rustle behind you >"B-But muh a-apples of marely l-love!" >Both you and Applebloom stop and look around "...Did you hear that Applebloom?" >"...I recon I did, Mr. Anon." >Huh >There's no one around though... >Maybe it was just the wind? >Eh, whatever >You had to get to work >You could deal with talking shrubs after your shift was over "Come on, Applebloom, let's get you to school." >The tiny little horse smiles up at you and does a happy little hop >"Alright, Mr. Anon!"
