A Trip to Ponyville ➹ My Little Pony

Chapter 18: The injury

Chapter 18: The injury

We walk up to the apple trees, “ok everypony, this is how you buck a tree, just in case ya’ didn’t know, all ya’ gotta do is kick the tree with your hind legs” says Apple Jack as she kicks a tree with her hind legs.

“But Apple Bloom, you jus’ sit down and watch the big ponies take care a’ this. You can have some apples, some water or apple juice but don’t make yourself sick,” says Apple Jack as she gives Apple Bloom a stern look. “Ok                big sis’, but later can I go and play with Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo?” asks Apple Bloom in a sad voice. “All righty but be back before dark ‘cause we have things to do” replies Apple Jack, “Thanks A.J” beams Apple Bloom. “Is everypony ready?” asks Apple Jack, “Yep” reply me and Light, “then let’s get goin’” say Apple Jack.

“Heeya!” I yell as I kick a tree, only a few apples fall into the basket, “oh” I say sadly as I go to kick again. “Luna, do you mind if I show you how?” asks Light when he sees how little apples are in my basket. “Sure, if you think you can do it better” I say in a mocking way, Light laughs, “well, you just have to get your hind legs, lift them up and push with all your strength to kick the tree” says Light as he does that step by step.

He knocks out all the apples in the tree, unfortunately that seems like a few to many. The basket falls over and the apples fall everywhere. I slip over them and start to fall, knocking over Light as I tumble. We both fall on the ground and start laughing. I look over at him in the grass, he is looking at me, my world is spinning and I can hardly see him but I still can a bit and a bit is just enough. “Are you ok Luna?” asks Light, “yeah, are you?” I ask, “I’m better than ok, I’m great being here with you” he replies.

“I get to try and kick a tree now, you could pick up all the apples if you wanted” I say after we get up, “I will pick them up later, I can’t miss a moment of this” replies Light. Light pulls another basket under the tree and I get ready to kick, I lift my hind legs and kick the tree really hard. In fact someponies might say to hard. All the apples start to fall out of the tree at once. Some tumble onto the ground, and unfortunately for Light some land on him.

“Ouch!” he calls out as one hits him on the head, “are you ok?” I ask as I gallop over to him. “Well I’ve been better and at least we know that you can kick correctly” he replies, I like it when he jokes. I will go and get some ice, but where do we get it? As if by magic Apple Jack comes walking around to see us; “ok we are pretty much done so w- Light! I’ll go and get ya some ice straight away, just stay there you two” says Apple Jack as she starts to turn around and rush off. I doubt Light would be going anywhere in a hurry. “You will be ok Light, how do you feel?” I ask him. “Not so good, my head is pretty sore” he answers to me, “do not worry Apple Jack is sure to be back soon, I am so sorry that I hit you with apples” I say sadly. “that’s ok not to much harm done” he replies in a laugh, I am happy that he is laughing but it might be fake.

“I’m a comin’!” Apple Jack yells as she gallops towards us with Apple Bloom carrying an ice pack. “Thankyou Apple Jack” I say in a sigh of relief. Light’s head looks sore, I hope he really is ok. “now Light this here may hurt a little when I put it on your head, but it should be ok” says Apple Jack as she goes up to Light. She puts the ice pack on his head “ouch!” he says, Apple Jack moves it to the sore spot and Light does not look happy about it. “As I was saying before, we are all done so for the rest of the day we can umm… just do what you two want to do, and yes Apple Bloom, you can go an’ play with your friends” says Apple Jack.  “Yay! Thanks big sis’ hope you ponies have a good time” replies Apple Bloom before she gallops off to her friends. “Hey, do you two ponies want to stay really late? There is a game night tonight, Apple Bloom is coming as well” asks Apple Jack when Apple Bloom leaves. “That sounds great, if you are better by then Light” I say turning the focus to Light. “I  wouldn’t miss it” says Light. “You have already met Apple Bloom, but here is the rest of the family. This here is Fiona, Big Mac and Granny Smith” says Apple Jack as they come and see us then bow down. Well, all except Fiona who just barks happily.

For the rest of the day time we talk about the games tonight and we laze around and Light’s head gets better. Apparently, ponies say good games and then we play them, some are made up and some everypony knows. I can not wait until the games night.
