It is definitely louder than last time. You must be getting closer. >As you slowly peek around your current tree, you see the source of the sound. >You spot an orange colored pony standing in front of a tree looking up at the apples. >She then suddenly turns and kicks the tree hard. >The whole tree shakes and apples rain down. >”Hoo wee! I suppose that'll be enough for today.” >Hmm, familiar accent. >Looking past the pony notice that several trees have baskets filled with apples underneath them. Now Including the one with the pony beneath it. >They sure are weird looking. >As if knowing that you were internally talking shit about it, she turns your way and is now staring at you with wide eyes. >You freeze, staring back with wide eyes of your own. >A few moments pass with no movement from either of you. >Maybe their vision is based on movement. >”Hey now don't you be sneakin’ up on me ya hear! Unless you want a kick to your teeth!” >Fuck! “Hey easy there, I don't want any trouble.” >Upon hearing your voice she stiffens up and takes a defensive position. >”Well ya got trouble! What are you doing back there?” >Looking to the tree behind her with a pair of dents in it’s trunk, you decide that agitating her further is really not a good idea. “Hey relax, I just got lost is all.” >She squints her eyes and scrapes her hoof like an angry bull. [spoiler]Olé[/spoiler] >”I don't like liars. You best get out from behind there and start being honest with me or I'll have to kick you off my property.” >You are still pretty wiped out, so running wouldn't get you very far and you definitely don't want to pick a fight with a local. >Just not good manners! “Okay okay, just calm down. I really don't mean any harm! I was being chased by a few, uhh ponies.” >Awkward silence intensifies. >She flicks an ear while looking at you expectantly. >You just sit there looking at her, until she exaggerates a sigh. >”Don’t just sit there, keep talking.” “Oh sorry. Well after running around trying to get away from my pursuers, I ran into your orchard.” >”That doesn't exactly tell me what you were doing sneakin’ up on me like you were. In fact why were you being chased?” “Well it was more of a game with some little ones, but it did involve running and avoidance maneuvers. >”And the sneaking?” “Well I was resting and then heard a loud noise. Like someone hitting a stump with sledgehammer. I decided to see what could be causing such a noise.” >”So you were just curious?” “I suppose so.” >She looks you over for a second before gently smiling. >”I suppose I owe you an apology then. I may have overreacted a little.” “A little? I don't generally threaten to kick someone in the teeth if they startle me.” >You see her grimace a little. >”Yeah I'm sorry about that, but a big thing like you sneaking up behind somepony can really get your heart racing.” >You are quite a bit bigger than her. . . >”Hey if you're thirsty, maybe I could offer you some cider as an apology. Nopony in Equestria makes better!” >Now that you are out in the open where she can see you, she has calmed down quite a bit. >She is just sitting right in front of you looking up with those big green eyes of hers. >Hmm, they are actually kind of cute. “You know what? That actually sounds pretty nice.”
