(As soon as the sun peaked over the clouds, Jet Steak stood up and stretched his legs and wings, getting ready for the daily flight to Sweet Apple Acres for breakfast)

Jet: *takes a deep breath of the crisp morning air as he spreads his wings and soars into the sky* Ahh~ What a perfect morning for some hot cider. I hope Spritz has a good batch today. *thinking to himself as he flies closer to the farm*

(Jet flutters to a soft landing when he reaches the farm and sees Apple Spritz and her uncle rolling some barrels down to the cellar)

Jet: Ah, I'm right on time; I see? *saunters over with a big smile on his face*

Mac: Eeyup!

Spritz: Mornin, Jet Streak! Here for breakfast again?

Jet: Well, of course! Where else am I gonna get hot cider? I count on you ponies, you know.

Mac: *laughing* Just like your momma, ain't ya?

Jet: What can I say? She gave me good taste! *shines his teeth confidently* Now, lemme at them barrels and let me lend a hoof!

Spritz: No, no, I got this. This is my job, remember?

Jet: Yeah, well, if I help you two fill them up I can get cider faster and get out of your mane!

Spritz: You know our cider takes time, you got here early; that's your own fault. *laughs* How about this, ya wanna help that bad?

Jet: Tell me what to do, ma'am! *salutes with his wing*

Spritz: How about you go start picking the apples in the west field for us then while we get the cider barrels ready?

Jet: Wait, what? Pick apples?! Come on, Spritzy..

Spritz: Hey, it's either help us get a head start on the west field or go find something else to do until the cider's ready.

Jet: …. Fine. *begrudgingly flutters over to the west side of the apple orchard, groans and starts kicking trees - No apple falls* Ugh, come on you stupid fruit, fall down already! *kicks it again, the apples shake, but nothing falls off - Jet Streak gets frustrated and flies up to the apples and starts knocking them off the branches and into the baskets below, until he hears a small yelp from below*
Oops! *calls down as he starts to descend* I'm sorry, did I hit … you?

(Jet Streak almost loses his composure when landing when he sees a young mare standing by the bottom of the apple tree, a mare he had never seen before.)

Mare: *shaking off her hoof, now covered in apple mush* No, I'm fine.. You just startled me. *looks up and her eyes widen*

(The two of them just stand there staring at each other for a moment, longer than they even realized, until Jet Streak cleared his throat and spoke up first)

Jet: I, um.. I havn't seen you around here before.. Are you family to the Apples?

Mare: Oh, um.. No, I'm not. My family just moved here.. We share a portion of the farmland with the Apples and pay them a little bit of our profits as a form of rent.. We grow peaches..

Jet: Peaches.. Sounds.. sweet.

(Jet and the mare couldn't help but start to blush, both out of embarresment and shyniess, but they both shake their heads and start laughing nervously)

Mare: Anyways, my name is Peach Fuzz.

Jet: Heh.. I'm Jet Streak. It's, uh, nice to meet you.. Well, um.. I should get going; See how Apple Spritz is coming with the.. um.. stuff. *flies off in a hurry and thinks to himself, feeling his face blushing again* What the hell was that, Jet? You've never lost your cool around a mare like that before.. Get your shit together.

(Jet felt as if he had a knot in his chest, and he didn't like that feeling. When he landed in front of the cellar he started pacing and grinding his teeth, trying to ignore the feeling in his chest)

Spritz: Ah, Jet, there you are! *pokes her head from out of the cellar doors* Your mug of ciders all warmed up and ready for ya! *notices his pacing* Are you alright?

Jet: What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine.. How much do I owe you today? *taking the mug, not looking at her*

Spritz: Eh, don't worry about it. It's on the house today, you helped us get a head start on the apples after all.

Jet: *pinned his ears back in embarresment knowing he really didn't do anything to help but basically make applesauce on the ground before Peach Fuzz showed up* Uh, yeah.. Thanks, but, I'm just gonna pay my usual. *tosses her a few bits* Thanks again. *goes to take off, but hesitates* Hey, Spritz?

Spritz: Yeah?

Jet: I met a pony over in the field.. Her name was Peach Fuzz.

Spritz: Oh, yeah, my mom and I decided to rent out part of the farmland to her family to try and raise a little more money around here. She and her family seem to be really nice folk so far. She must've be wandering around.. Peach Fuzz is a bit of a free spirit, it seems.

Jet: Yeah.. She seems pretty.. cool. *starts feeling the knot again and grumbles* Gotta go, see ya!

Spritz: Oh, ok! *calls after him* Have a good day!

Looks like Mr. Cool-Flirty-Tough Guy found himself a weakness.. In a cute new mare on the farm~

Jet has never lost his confident composure around a mare before, so feeling those emotions so suddenly came as quite the shock to Jet.

This is quite possibly Jet Streak's first official, and first serious, crush.. He doesn't know how to take that.
