[TSA]{3} The Element of Honesty

"O no! Its Applejack! Hide!" But before we could even blink, the door is blasted open, which causes Apple Bloom to sail into my arms, and we both topple over to the floor followed by the debris. "What did aye say about locking your door Apple Bloom? Aye said the next time you lock it, you won't be needing it in case of a real emergency! Now what's it aye hear about making trust packs? Aye better not see you and yer Cutie Mark Crusaders planning another foolish attempt at it again in the middle of the night with yer ruckus!" Of course what she didn't see was another attempt at her club getting their cutie marks, what she saw was me, a human she had no idea whatever that was at the time, holding her normal filly sister from harm. "Aww shoot! Apple Bloom!" I slowly pushed her more towards Applejack as she approached. "Aye warned you about yer door you seed brain and looked what happened to ya!" Apple Bloom groaned back to live to both of our relief. "Sorry sis, aye got caught up with..." She had to keep her hoof to her head to keep it steady, "...him." She needed not to point to get her sister to give me a rundown. "Aye see... him you say?" I explain, "She thought I was one of her Crusader friends and invited me in. I just wanted to get to Ponyville. I didn't mean to keep it from the rest of her family." "Aye reckon you would after all... you ain't from around here are ya?" "Long story, but don't worry I'm just here to find someone and I won't be sticking around too long to start any trouble." Apple Bloom jumped up suddenly. "You said you have a few days to find her! What's the rush?" Applejack gave her a suspicious look, "My Apple Bloom, you seem really attached to this here stranger I, and possibly most of everyone in Ponyville or even Equestria, haven't even meet yet. Who exactly are you trying to find exactly? And what in the hay for?" I, along with Apple Bloom, try to throw her off our plans; "O just some mare that..." I start "...needs to see Princess Celestia!" Apple Bloom finishes. Yet in the end I know she would better help me find Ms. Sparkle before Apple Bloom could present me to her next club social. "I'm guessing its no other then Twilight Sparkle herself then. No other mare in town gets to see the Princess as much as she does." I give her a slight nod of approval. "Yup, well you got it spot on Ms. Applejack! Sorry I got your sister into such official business! I only got lost since I'm from an alternate universe, you know Twilight Sparkle, Princess, Magic. She'll get me back home, with your help of course!" Applejack seems pleased with herself, leaving Apple Bloom to quickly punish me for my betrayal. Just as quickly as a hug can turn to a choke hold, Applejack helps us up and leads everyone out of Apple Bloom's room to the door to another one close by. "Well, I'll kindly lead you to town to find Twilight, but aye recommend y'all get some rest first. Its too dark to go into town right this minute and I could sure use some help getting apples there for sale." I return her kind smile, "Sure I'll help Applejack! It'll be the least I can do for putting you through all this when you could have been sleeping!" She gives Apple Bloom a silly disapproving glare. "At least you helped me get Apple Bloom from sneaking out again tonight! Were as just in each other debts as two rattle snakes biting each other in the hind quarters! Here sleep in my bunk tonight sugar cube. I'll turn in with Apple Bloom when I'm done sorting the little mess going on in her room." "A little?" Apple Bloom squeaks as Applejack takes her off my hands. "Now, enough roughhousing Apple Bloom and say yer good nights! I assumed you would be rested enough to help us out on the Apple carting bright and early tomorrow, but now I'll be lucky enough to get you to even get a single apple out of a withered tree!" Apple Bloom gave Applejack a flushed look but went on to follow her back to her room. "I'm going to town with you guys for whatever it takes!" "Alrighty then. Get your self into bed before I have you clean up your room instead!" Apple Bloom gave a cry of disbelief.  "But you kicked down my door!" "Aye told you to not lock it!" Applejack shot back. And they both gave me a final goodnight before continuing their argument in the other room. Who knew that they would soon return before even the sun had time to rise after such a long night?
