Chapter 8: Entering Into the Minefield
Written by: Raikiry

The walk to Sweet Apple Acres was a little bit long on Blitz, being that he was heading towards the Apple family farm so he can go to start his first day on the job. While he was at his house, he washed up and ate breakfast. As he went towards his new workplace, he was thinking about how it's going to turn out, being that Applejack was going to be there.

"Wonder if I will get jumped by Applejack again." Blitz laughs to his little humor joke.

As he arrived at the sign of 'Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres', he noticed somepony beside the welcome sign. He kept on getting closer to see who it was, and then notice it was Applejack. She notices Blitz walking towards her and the first thing she did when she saw his face was given an annoyed look towards him.

Applejack and Red Blitz were faces to face in the middle of the road that leads to Sweet Apple Acres and silence was filled in the area until Applejack broke the silence.

"Big Mac explained about you working at the farm. At first, I wasn't too happy about it, but we do need a helping hoof on the farm," Apple Jack said. Then she got a little closer to him with a deadly stare. "Also, when we get there, I don't want you talking to me or getting close towards me. I won't forgive you about what you did." She said giving him a push away from her.

"......" No words were said from Blitz and knew the commands she demanded. He stared at the ground and wasn't making eye contact.

"At least we're at a good start," she said while taking the lead to Sweet Apple Acres.

The walk towards Sweet Apple Acres was quiet. No conversation or eye contact was made. He didn't want to break the demands that she made, but in Blitz's heart, he was relieved that he could see that Applejack doing fine. As they arrive at the farm, Applejack turns around to face Blitz. He looks at her and was waiting for the first order he needs to do to start working.

She points a hoof to the right, and by the first glance, he notices a stack of hay piled up on the other side. "See those stack of hay over there?"

Blitz nodded and looks back at Applejack. "I want you to pull each of them and put them behind the house," she said, leaving the area and going to buck some trees.

Blitz walks towards the stack and started pulling one of the stacks and putting it on his back. He knew how strong he was, so he knew this work won't be that difficult for him. As he pulls and pulls, and was getting close to behind the house. He releases one of the stacks he was pulling and notice he's behind the house. So he pushes on the stack that he released close to the wall and releases the stack from his back.

To his realization, he remembered the good times when he used to hang out over the farm when he was a teen. He also remembered when Applejack and Big Mac pranked him when he fell asleep on the job. He smiles and turns around to get back to work, but he notices a young filly standing in front of him.

To his shock, it was Apple Bloom. He couldn't forget that big red bow that was tied in her mane and her cute adorable face. She was smiling and tearing up in front of him. He was wondering if those tears were sadness or happiness.
