Highschool Dragon

At Sweet Apple Acres one night, Applejack was in her old bedroom looking into a mirror. She had on a beautiful plain white dress. She spun a bit making the bottom of the dress sway with her. She looked at her reflection and blushed. She then saw Granny Smith's reflection in the mirror, and spun around seeing her grandmother in the door frame of her room, "Granny, I was just..."

"I can't blame ya for wanting to wear your ma's favorite dress at the reunion tomorrow, Applejack." she explained.

"Well, it only happens every one hundred moons, and this time it's going to be real special." Applejack replied.

Granny Smith nodded, "Uh-huh, you bringing that little boyfriend of yours." she teased.

"I know. That's why I wanted to look real nice for him."

"Well, you chose the right outfit," Granny Smith said, while smiling, "Your ma would be so proud to see you in it."

"Yeah. Just a shame she and pa can't make it. I would've wanted them to see Spike." Applejack said looking down sadly.

Granny Smith comforted her, "I know they'd like him a lot, A.J. I mean I like him, and your sibs like him too."

"Yeah," Applejack smiled, "Just wonder if the other Apples will like him?"

"Well, we Apples have never truly been one to hate others... Unless it's corporate folk who like to put us out of business." The elder woman said firmly.

Applejack laughed, "Well, I don't think that'll be a problem."

"Well, lots to do tomorrow. So y'all better get some shut eye, Applejack."

"Sure thing, Granny," Applejack said, as her grandmother left the room. When Applejack was left alone, she removed the dress and hung it back up in her closet before plopping down on her bed wearing only her orange undergarments. She sighed, and thought of Spike, 'Dontcha worry, Sugarcube. Tomorrow's gonna be fine for both of us.' she fell asleep.

The next morning, Spike was riding his bike to Sweet Apple Acres, "I hope I can get to Sweet Apple Acres before A.J's relatives arrive." Spike said, as he peddled.

"You would be if you just flew." Bahamut reminded him.

"And have them question how I got here without my bike or such?" Spike asked in sarcasm, "I want to avoid being the target of suspicion," He looked ahead and saw Sweet Apple Acres, so he peddled on. He arrived and set his bike up against the fence, and went over to the house seeing Granny Smith sitting on a rocking chair on the porch, "Morning, Granny Smith." he greeted her.

"Well, good morning, Spike," the elder lady greeted him, "You're just in time. Preparations for the reunion is complete, so we're just waiting for everyone to show."

"Thank goodness. I was afraid I was gonna be late and look awkward showing up out of the blue," Spike rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "And I do wanna thank you for letting me attend the Apple Family Reunion, even if I'm not exactly family."

"Oh, nonsense," Granny Smith brushed it off, "With all the times you've been spending with A.J, you're definitely family in my book."

"Thanks, Granny. Is Applejack here?"

"She's just finishing up. She's got something special for you." Granny nudged his shoulder playfully with a wink.

"Something special?" Spike asked, as he already started fantasizing about A.J being sexy.

Spike was snapped out of his thoughts by his classmate Applebloom, "Spike!"

Spike's fantasy ended, as he looked over at Applebloom and Big Mac, "Morning, Applebloom. Morning, Big Mac."

"Morning, Spike," Big Mac greeted, "Haven't seen you around here, lately."

"Well, I've been busy as of late." Spike answered.

"Right." Applebloom smirked at him.

"What's with that look?" Spike asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." she looked away with a smug look.

Spike scowled at his classmate, until a familiar voice spoke out to him, "Morning, Sugarcube."

Spike looked over and saw Applejack in the same white dress she was trying on last night. The boy's eyes widened in shock, as his jaw dropped open. He eyed Applejack up, and thought to his partner, 'Bahamut, I'm in the presence of a sexy Amazonian Angel.'

'Don't drool.' Bahamut replied.

Spike quickly closed his mouth and spoke, "A.J, you look..."

"I just thought like dressing up a bit. You don't mind, do ya?" she flirted.

"Not in the slightest," he answered, "That really is lovely. I just never thought you'd have something Rarity would want."

"Actually, this belonged to my ma." she answered.

"Really?"

"Uh-huh." she answered.

"Look!" Applebloom called, as she motioned to the farm's entrance.

They saw multiple vehicles and such parking outside, and exiting were a whole variety of people ranging from men, women, and children of all ages. Spike looked in disbelief, before turning to A.J, "Applejack, are all these people..."

"That's right. They're all family."

"Wow." Spike gasped, as he watched the entire family greet each other.

"Come on, I'll introduce ya," Applejack brought him along. She spoke up to her family, "Welcome, everyone. So glad y'all could make it. Before we get too befuddled in our get together, I'd like to introduce to ya a special friend of mine who'll be joining us. This here is Spike Drake. Now let's all give him a big friendly Apple Family Howdy!"

"Howdy, Spike!" the entire Apple Family greeted him.

Spike was taken aback by how loud they were before sticking his pinky into his right ear to clear it out, before greeting them back, "Hello, everyone. It's so nice to meet all of you."

"Now let me go and introduce ya," Applejack began introducing him to the various members of the Apple Family, "There's Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp..." as Applejack continued introducing him, Spike was having a hard time keeping up with his country girlfriend listing them off so fast, "And there ya go!" Applejack finished, as Spike was droning out.

"Well, come on, y'all. Let's have us a hoppin good time!" Granny Smith declared, as the Apples cheered, and went about doing various activities and gossiped about news with their fave relatives.

Spike smiled seeing everyone having fun, until Applebloom came over with a girl about their ages. She had little freckles on her face and earring hoops on her ears, Moderate spring bud colored eyes, her hair was light and brilliant amaranth. Her attire included black boots, red socks, a black checkered style skirt, a white shirt, and a green jacket, "Hey, Spike. This is our cousin Babs Seed. She lives in Manhattan. Babs, this here's Spike." Applebloom introduced them.

"Nice to meetcha, Babs." Spike shook her hand.

"Same here," Babs spoke in a Brooklyn accent, before blowing her hair up, "So you're the famous perv Applebloom talked about?"

"Famous perv?!" Spike asked feeling insulted, while glaring at Applebloom, "I prefer the term 'Girl Enthusiast'." he said proudly.

"Right," Babs said dryly, "Well, despite that, you're still ok by Applebloom. So you're good by me, as well."

"Thanks... I think." Spike said feeling unsure, as the two girls chuckled and headed out to catch up.

"Babs used to be sort of the shy girl due to getting teased at school, until she learned to stand up for herself," Applejack explained, "Since then no kid has ever tried to bully or belittle her again."

"Feisty." Spike admitted.

Big Mac called out, "Hey, Spike! Come over here for a bit."

Spike looked over seeing Big Mac and a few others over by a table with treats. Spike looked over at Applejack who gave him a nod to go over. Spike feeling confident went over to Big Mac and a few of the Apple relatives like Braeburn, Hayseed Turnip Truck, and Caramel, "Hi, guys. How's it going?"

"The boys and I would like ya to join us in gorging some apple fritters." Big Mac said.

"Well, ok." Spike said, as he sat down between Hayseed and Braeburn.

"Here ya go." Hayseed offer him a fritter, and Spike ate it.

"Mm. Delicious as always."

"Here, a little something to tie you over." Braeburn slid him a wooden tankard of Apple Cider.

"Ooh, never drank Apple Cider in this kind of cup before," Spike said, as he took a swig, before licking his lips, "Even better than in a bottle."

"Big Mac tells us you're quite popular with the ladies, Spike." Braeburn said.

"Has he now?" Spike turned to Big Mac who shrugged.

"Yeah. You're popular with A.J and her pack of friends." Hayseed added.

"How do you do it, partner?" Braeburn asked, "Because I'm seeing this little cutie called Little Strongheart and I could use some advice."

"Well, Braeburn, if I can give ya any kind of wisdom it's this," Spike began, "Don't be narcissistic, listen to your girl, and just love her. Love her more than even yourself."

Braebrun shed a tear, "So beautiful. You're the guru of love."

"Well, I just say what comes from here." he puts his hand on his heart. Spike smiled, as he continued having fun with the three.

Later on Spike and Applejack were walking around Sweet Apple Acres watching the family enjoy themselves, before passing Granny Smith and two other elder ladies who were busy knitting a quilt, "Hi, Granny, hi Auntie Applesauce, hi Apple Rose."

"Once again delighted to see you again, Applejack." Applesauce tells her great grand niece.

"And more delightful to see you brought yourself a man with you." Apple Rose teased.

The two teens felt embarrassed, until Spike spoke up, "So what're you ladies doing?"

"Knitting the Apple Quilt," Granny Smith answered, "Family's been working on this ever since our first reunion."

"And it's still not finished?" Spike asked.

"We like to take our time. And who knows maybe one day it'll be finished." Granny Smith chuckled with her relatives.

"We'll catch y'all later." Applejack said, as she and Spike continued on.

Apple Rose spoke to Granny Smith, "He does look like a nice youngin."

"That he does." Granny Smith nodded in agreement.

"Makes me wish I was back in my high school years." Applesauce said, as her dentures suddenly fell out of her mouth, making the three laugh.

Applejack and Spike were sitting down by a bench looking out as everyone, "This has been some reunion, A.J." Spike said.

"Sure is. Shame it only happens every one hundred moons." Applejack said.

"But isn't that what makes it special?" Spike wondered.

"Yeah, though not every reunion is as big as this."

"Really?" Spike raised a brow

Applejack nodded, "Sometimes the family either has thinned over the years, or so much is going on in the world by them they can't make it."

"Well, that's a bummer." Spike said.

"Yeah. But I'm glad when we all get together like this. We make a lot of good memories from it. Why just last reunion, we all rebuilt the family barn."

"Rebuilt it?"

"Yeah. Really brought us together as a family," Applejack said in nostalgia. Spike smiled, before looking in awe at Applejack and the golden glow of the sun washed over her. He blushed at the beauty sitting next to him, until Applejack looked back, "Ya ok, Spike?"

Spike shook it off, "I'm fine. I just can't get enough of seeing you in that dress. You're absolutely beautiful."

Applejack blushed, "Aw shucks. Really?"

"I mean it." he assured her.

"Well, like I said it belonged to my ma, Pear Butter. And if ya could believe it, the Apples on Pa Bright Mac's side weren't exactly fond of her."

"Why's that?" Spike was curious.

"Ma was this rich socialite who never worked a day in her life, preferred to live fast, spend Grandpa Pear's money and generally make a fool of herself," she laughed with Spike, and continued, "She did catch the eye of the hard working Apple, Bright Mac, Granny's only son. One night, ma crashed the Apple Family Reunion, wearing this here white dress. While every other Apple didn't want her anywhere near the reunion, pa was the only one that made her feel welcome. By that time, the two were very much in love." she smirked.

"Whoa." Spike gasped

"Mama used to tell me stories about how she wore this dress at that Reunion, where she and Pa danced away the night and every Apple had eyes on them. Ma used to say that she was like the belle of the ball and Pa was her prince charming, like in the fairy tales. She would tell me that it was in that reunion was when she knew that she and poppa would live happily ever after."

"Wow. It does sound like an ideal fairy tale." Spike said in amazement.

"That it was." Granny said, as she came over.

"Granny." Applejack gasped.

"Though more happened on that Reunion night I can tell ya."

"Really? What?" Spike asked with curiosity.

"Well, that son of mine and that sweet little lady of his consummated their relationship with a good old fashioned cherry popping in the barn house." she giggled.

"Say what?!" Spike gasped in shock, while Applejack felt embarrassed.

"That's right. Why I suspect that was how Big Mac was conceived," Granny turned to A.J, "I swear, your mama and papa couldn't keep it in the bedroom. I'll bet my cane that you were conceived on that table over there, Applejack."

"Granny!" Applejack cried with a blush on her face, while Spike was surprised.

"And don't get me started on Applebloom! I had to tell them that a confessional is no place to make a baby!" Granny rambled on.

"We need to go!" Applejack cried, as she dragged Spike off to get away. Granny couldn't help but chuckle at how flustered the two were.

Applejack and Spike were hiding behind some bales of hay, as A.J spoke, "I am so sorry ya had to hear that from Granny Smith."

"I'm the one that should be sorry for you." Spike replied.

"Thanks. Ugh, I can't believe of all times for her to not be senile had to be now." Applejack sighed.

"Grandparents, it's what they do." Spike replied.

"Your grandparents ever do anything embarrassing like that?" A.J wondered.

"Woman, you have no idea."

"Tell me, just so I have some idea."

Spike was reluctant, but decided to elucidate, "There was one time in the elementary school play. My grandma tried to put different pants on me because I got my other ones dirty."

"Well, that doesn't sound so bad." Applejack said, not seeing anything wrong.

"Yeah. It wouldn't be so bad, if IT WASN'T WHILE I WAS ON STAGE!"

Applejack was taken aback by the rest of the story, "That is bad."

"Yeah. I was a laughing stock for a week." Spike sighed.

"You were right. Grandparents really have their bizarre ways of embarrassing ya."

"But we still love them." Spike smiled.

"We sure do." A.J agreed.

The two gazed lovingly at each other, until Applebloom and Babs popped up, "Hey, guys!" they called, making the two jump.

"Don't do that!" Spike cried.

"Why, were we interrupting something?" Applebloom smirked.

"No!" Spike denied.

"What's going on?" A.J asked.

"It's almost time for the family photo." Babs replied.

"Shoot, almost forgot." Applejack remembered.

"Come on, Spike. You're joining us too." Applebloom said, as she and Babs dragged him along.

Everyone was gathering together in front of Sweet Apple Acres Barn, while Applejack was setting up the timer on the camera. When it was set, she ran to the center and took Spike's hands as they looked at the camera, with A.J speaking, "Everyone say Apples."

"Apples!" the family called, as the picture was taken.

Applejack spoke up, "All right, Apples, let's have us a good old Apple Family hoedown!"

"Yeehaw!" the Apples cheered, as some of the relatives started playing square dancing music on fiddle, harmonica, and banjo. The Apple Family began dancing like good old fashioned cowpolk.

Spike was grabbed by Applejack making him dance, "I don't really know how to do-si-do." Spike told her.

"Just follow along, Spike." Applejack said, as she and the Apples showed Spike how to really dance like a cowboy.

At first Spike felt a bit uncomfortable dancing outside his comfort zone, but soon enough it started becoming natural to him, "You know. This ain't so bad." he said while dancing with his arm locked with A.J's.

"Told ya, you'd get the hang of it." Applejack said, as she passed him off to some of the other relatives.

As Spike danced he looked around at everyone having more fun that they were before, 'Now this is what a reunion is all about.' he thought.

As the day was coming to a close, the relatives were packing it in and heading home. Spike watched as Applejack was saying goodbye to her cousins, before going over to Spike, "Well, Spike. What'd ya think of the reunion?"

"Makes me glad I know such an awesome loving family." Spike answered.

"And you're one of us now. Remember that." Applejack reminded him.

Spike nodded, as Babs walked by and slipped something into his pocket, "Yo, Spike. Call me." she headed to her ride. Spike reached into his pocket and saw Babs slipped him a slip of paper with her cell number on it. He and A.J looked at each other in disbelief, while Spike couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

When nighttime rolled in, Spike and Applejack were sitting out in the orchard looking up at the sky, "Now this is beautiful, huh?" Applejack asked Spike.

"I'll say. Clear skies and a blanket of stars, with a bright moon out, as well." Spike answered.

"Thanks again for coming to the reunion, Spike. It meant a great deal to me." Applejack looked at him with a smile.

"Glad I didn't miss it," Spike replied, until he saw Applejack get into his face, "Whoa, A.J?"

"Come here, boy." Applejack cupped Spike's face and pulled him into a kiss.

Spike melted into the softness of his Amazon's lips, as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer. Their tongues wrestled for dominance, but in the end Applejack's won. When they parted, A.J spoke, "That's just for starters."

"Starters?" Spike raised a brow.

"That's right, partner." She brought him up to his feet, and suddenly started removing her dress.

"A.J, are you..." Spike stopped in mid sentence seeing Applejack had removed her dress and stood before him in reddish orange undergarments, "Wow." he gasped in awe.

"I know I'm the last one ya've done this with, Spike. And I could think of no better setting than out here." she spoke.

"Out here in the open?" Spike looked around hoping nobody was watching from behind a tree or out in the field.

"Uh-huh. So what do ya say, partner. Wanna a little piece of my power to go with all your others?" she flirted, while rubbing her breast against his arm.

"That would be nice." he admitted, while sweating.

"Good to hear. Now let's get you out of all this." Applejack lifted Spike's shirt up exposing his bare chest, before undoing his pants making them drop to his ankles.

'Oh, yes. I'm finally doing it with Applejack,' Spike thought, 'Though it's risky doing it out in the open, at least it's night time,' he spoke to her, "Come here, my Amazon." he opened his arms out to her.

Applejack smiled upon hearing him call her by her favorite nickname and went into his arms. The two ended up dropping down on the soft blades of grass before passionately making out, which led to another. As they consummated, the orchard was lit up by the glow of fireflies.

Afterward the two laid on the bed of grass panting from the intense pleasure, "That was awesome." Spike panted.

"I know. You're sure as something, Spike." Applejack said.

"We better get back to the house, before we catch cold." the boy suggested.

"Agreed." Applejack got up and got herself dressed along with Spike. They headed back to the house, while making sure they didn't look too messy.

When they walked up to the porch, they saw Granny Smith in her chair, "Well, there ya are. I was wondering what kept ya." she said.

"We were just admiring the beautiful night, Granny." A.J explained.

"Yeah. Sky's beautiful from all the way out here." Spike looked up at the sky.

"Sure is." Granny agreed.

Applejack yawned, "Well, it's late. Spike and I are goin' upstairs and catch a little shut eye. Night, Granny." the two walked in.

"Goodnight, you two," she replied, while watching her granddaughter and Spike go inside. She smiled to herself and thought, 'Applejack, you're just like your mother.'

Up in Applejack's room. A.J was laying down on her bed, with Spike spooning her with his head resting against her comforting bosom. Applejack who was still awake, looked at Spike who was fast asleep, and thought to herself, 'Spike, ya made me the happiest gal that lived. And I hope next time we do it it'll be just as good. I love ya sugarcube,' she kissed his forehead before looking over at the white dress she hung up, 'Guess that dress of ma's really is special.' she fell asleep holding Spike close.
