>"So, What's the deal Maple? You got a boyfriend or something?"
>The question confused you for a bit
>Before answering you decide to duck the question
"Wh-what do you mean?"
>"Well, I saw you hanging with that skater colt a few times. He's SOOO dreamy"
>He was just a friend
>Bitch
"I'm not going out with Puck!"
>"Oh, so he's got a name!"
"Shut up Amber"
>You give her a quick jab to the ribs
>"Jeez! Okay! I was just joking Maple"
>Slightly annoyed you look around you
>The dark street surrounds you on this Autumn night
>The cold wind brushes up against your fur as you make your way to your house
>"Besides...I know your a you bat for the other team anyway"
>Wait, what does that mean?"
"What?"
>She comes close and whispers in your ear
>You take a quick gasp after hearing the explanation
"No! I'm not a filly fondler!"
>"Oh my God Maple! You got to learn to take a joke"
"Hardly a joke anyway, Amber"
>Amber was always a bit of a dick to you
>You know she does it to be funny
>But still, sometimes it goes over the edge
>She always has to say something
>You just try to ignore her most of the times
>I think the word for her is "Peanut Gallery"
>Anyway, you continue walking a few more blocks
>That's when you see your house slowly come up
>Forgetting about the rude comments, you unlock the door and walk inside
>"You know I was joking right, Maple?"
>You look back at her and see a concerned face
"Yes sis, I know you were joking"
>You use your magic to take off your hat and put it on the coffee table
>Your sister walks over to the couch and takes a seat
>"Can you get me the blanket sis? You know...Because horn"
>You smile at your sister, and magically lift the folded blanket off the laundry basket and onto her lap
>Taking time to carefully tuck in the edges under her
>Making sure she is nice and cozy
>She seems pretty content with your services
>"Thanks sis!"
>You walk over and grasp the remote with your teeth from the table and walk to the couch, and take a seat next to her
"What do you want to watch?"
>"I think the Trotting Dead is on!"
"Hmm... How about we watch something else"
>"Ugh.. Fine... Like what?"
"Maybe, umm, a comedy?"
>"Uhh, yeah sure. That sounds pretty cool"
>After searching for a few movies on demand you find one that you both agree on
>You dim the lights with your magic and turn the t.v on
>Instantly, you find yourself cuddling up next to your sister
>She moves her wing up and lifts the blanket
>Giving you room to slide in next to her
>After getting cozy, she lowers her wing and wraps it around you
>It's like the softest blanket you have ever used
>You are pretty fucking comfortable at the moment
>So comfortable you might start to fall asle-
>"Maple...Maple? Wake up"
>You slowly enter reality
"Ugh, what time is it?"
>"1:30 am"
>You take a deep breath in, rubbing you eyes with your hooves
"Damn. It's so late"
>"Yeah, you zonked out before you even saw his Sylvester Stallion impression."
Yeah, Sylvester Stallion
>"ADRIEN!"
>You chuckle a bit before noticing her wing is still wrapped around you
>You snuggle your head deeper into her soft, inner feathers
>"C'mon Maple. You got to go to bed. We got a big day ahead of us tomorrow"
>Big day?
"What are we doing?"
>"Well, tomorrow, after church, we are going to run a few errands"
"Like what?"
>"Food shopping, clothe shopping and other stiff like that. Plus, we both got to go to work"
>You actually enjoy your job
>Catching syrup from trees is super fun
>You are like the syrup Applejack
"Yeah, you're right"
>Slowly you come up from under your sister's wing and make your way onto your shaking hooves
>You say goodnight to your sister and walk to your room and make your way into bed
>You close your door with the use of your horn and wrap yourself up in the blanket
>Nowhere near as close to Amber's wing
>But it'll do
>You slowly come to after your slumber
>Looking around the room you see the sun is shining through your window
>You look to your nightstand and see the clock
>8:22 A.M
>Reluctantly, you get out of bed and head to the shower
>You try to open the door, but Amber is already inside
"You almost done?"
>"Yeah, just need to comb my mane a little"
>After about 30 seconds, Amber comes out of the bathroom
>Dressed in a traditional green, Royal Army suit, she walks past you
>She is also wearing her favorite Aviator glasses
>"How do I look?"
>She actually looks amazing
>Strong and noble
>So well dressed
>Well, she's dresses like that everyday, being in the Royal Army and all
"You look good Amber"
>"Thanks"
>She walks to the kitchen and you hear her pull something out fro the fridge
>Before putting on the shower, you hear her recite her daily Prayers
>Before going into the shower, you make sure the water is nice and warm
>Slowly, you step up into the shower
>Man, nothing like a nice morning shower to wake you up and get you ready for the day
>After carefully soaping and washing your coat, you turn off the water and dry off
>As you leave the walk to the kitchen you notice a note on the table
>"Sorry I had to leave...But I was kind of late... I hope you can clean my dishes for me! Haha, well, I'll see you for lunch. Same time and place as always. Sugar Cube Corner at 12. Well, love yah Maple. See you later!"
>You really do love your sister
>You love having her lunch with her too
>Then, you look to the left and see a stack of dishes pilled on top of each other
>You take a breath in
"You're lucky I love you so much"
>You float the dishes to the sink and begin to clean them
 
>Trees
>All around you are trees
>It's...
>Calming
>The smell
>The scenery
>It's just intoxicating
>Out here, you can just breathe and be filled with happiness
>Your blithe mood always makes the work go by easier anyway
>Moving from tree to tree, collecting the syrup from each bucket could get boring
>Just a few more weeks of work before you can get that new iPod you've been saving up for!
>You've been working for a while and decide to check the time
>Walking into the lodge you pass by your boss, Floret
"Hiya boss"
>"Hey there Maple. I was just about to get you. Your lunch break was supposed to be 25 minutes ago!"
>Oh shit
>You're late
>A feeling of guilt overcomes you
"Yeah, I'm gonna get going now"
>With that, you sprint out of the building and towards Sugar Cube corner
>It's quite a run
>Definitely more than a mile
>You just don't want to hold your sister up any longer
>You finally get into the center of Ponyville and walk into your second favorite place
>"HEY MAPLE! OH MY GOSH I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN LIKE FOREVER!"
>Pinkie Pie
>You look around, but you cannot find Amber
>You look back to the jumping pink mare
"Hey Pinkie, is Amber still here?"
>"No, she left about 5 minutes ago...I think her lunch break was over. You know about those Military mares! Always gotta be on time!"
>You are struck with a disappointed feeling
>Not because you missed lunch
>But because you left your sister waiting
"Oh, well can I still get a shake?"
>"Sure thing Maple"
 
>You finish your break and make small talk with the ponies, killing time before you have to go back to work
>"And that's how Starswirl figured out the theory of evolution and explicitation!"
"Oh, that was, uh cool Twilight"
>"Yeah, I know"
>She gives you a small smile
>"Well, you know where to find me if you want to learn more about science!"
>She gets up from the chair next to you
>"Say, where's Amber? You two are usually together"
"Oh, she's at work right now"
>"Oh, well, it's good to stay busy! I'll see you later Maple"
"Wait, do you know when you are gonna get the next level technique books on stick handling? You know, for hockey?"
>"Uh, yeah! That's gonna be shipped in approximately 14 hours from now"
"Thanks Twi, I'll see you later"
>She walks away, leaving you by yourself once again
>Well, you have ten minutes before you go back to work
"Maybe I should walk around Ponyville. I can pick up some stuff for me and Amber"
>You remember that she needed new baseball socks
>So you decide to get some shopping done in the short amount of time you have
>Plus, you also wanted to get some grip tape for your sticks and Amber's bat
>You love shopping for your sister
>Well, you just love surprising her
>The way she lights up when you present to her your gifts
>She's cute like that
