Canterlot City, a place with some serious recent history. Especially with all the loose magic roaming around this huge, majestic city. But luckily, there were 7 girls who were there to answer the call and restore harmony among their friends. And to think that it all started with a once power hungry girl named Sunset Shimmer. Had it not been for Princess Twilight Sparkle, chaos would have ensued worldwide.

And to this day, a year has passed since those 7 girls graduated and went their separate ways, making the world a better place in their own way. For one particular boy, it was a bittersweet ending he wished would've lasted a bit longer.

This boy's name... was Frostbite, age 19. During his high school days, he was a top-notch athlete who was quick on his feet when he ran track, swam laps or spiked balls in volleyball tournaments, scoring a lot of wins for his team. In a way, he was well-respected among most of his peers. But there was one problem: he was insecure, always overthinking things, especially when it came to relationships.

Despite his reputation, he wasn't so lucky in finding a lovely girlfriend. Not that they didn't like him, some girls actually found him attractive. The only problem was that he was always falling in love with the wrong girl. But there's one girl who caught his eye. Applejack, the hardworking, honest girl of Sweet Apple Acres.

Every time he saw her, his heart would soar a thousand miles. Her dazzling emerald eyes, perfectly light-tanned skin and gorgeous long, blonde hair, not to mention her curvaceous body all screamed out "Ah'm more than girlfriend material." Frostbite always dreamed of asking her out, but he never had the courage to, and now he feels like he never will.

He even tried to ask her to the prom, but he botched that and beat himself up about it, saying that he was stupid to run out like that. Now it's all just a dead pipe dream.

His only dream now is to be with her. Right now, he's currently living on his own, away from his family so he can try and make it on his own. A hard task is easier said than done. Frostbite was coming down on his luck as recently, he got fired from his job at the mall as a security cop for unnecessary force. He had beaten up a burglar who tried to make off with a woman''s purse and some jewelry, which Frostbite stopped by tackling him to the ground and beating him to a pulp.

His boss had enough of his aggressive methods as Frostbite's attitude was getting out of hand. He had no choice but to fire him as a security cop from the mall, in which Frostbite didn't take it too well.

Now, he had to find another job, checking the newspaper for any kind of open positions that piqued his interest. Then, as luck would have it, he found an ad that said Sweet Apple Acres was looking for some extra set of hands to harvest apples. The ad even said to call Applejack, phone number and all.

To anyone else, they wouldn't hesitate to apply for the job. For Frostbite, he was hesitant since he would be working alongside his high school crush. But he had no other choice, he needed this job or else he won't be able pay next month's rent and he was down to his last dollars after spending it all on food.

So, he took out his phone and dialed Applejack's number. While waiting for her to answer the call, Frostbite was overthinking on what he should tell her that he wanted the job.

"Should I speak with a strong, confident voice or maybe the smart, interested tone of voice?" He was starting to get a little nervous as he remembered how he failed to ask her properly to the prom during their Senior year.

With so deep in his thoughts he almost didn't hear Applejack answering his call. "Applejack here, from Sweet Apple Acres. What can I do for ya?" Hearing that sweet, southern accent of her made Frostbite gulp in nervousness as his lips were firmly closed. "Hello? Anyone there? This is Applejack speaking."
