Ed casually leaned left and right as Octavia kept trying to hit him with her wooden katana. So far she hasn't hit him once. He occasionally ducked when the sword was horizontal then quickly stood back up just in time for her next attack. Bystanders watched from the safety of their homes as the human dodged each attack with ease causing the mare to quicken her attacks one by one. Soon enough Octavia's sword was a blur and so was Ed as they moved with such speed.

Ed's eyes slowed down as he looked at the mare. She showed no emotion like she usually did as she had another swing already in process as Ed leaned back just barely missing it.

"She's getting dangerously faster" Ed thought to himself as he felt the wind current from the sword hit his face.

Ed let time fall back into place as tossed his bag to the side and started moving with more grace dodging the mares constant barrage. It got to the point where Ed had to stop leaning and start moving his entire body to match the speed of the mare. For the viewers watching they where now seeing copy's of the two as they seemed to be in multiple places at once.

Ed felt a familiar pattern to the mares speed but ignored it as he became bored of the dance they did and decided to end their little game. Ed all at once stopped dodging as he took the wooden swords blow head on with his right arm, blocking it from hitting him. Octavia didn't react fast enough as she felt a palm on her chest pushing her away from the human with such force that she let go of the katana and slide back. As she came to a stop she looked to the human who was standing over her weapon.

"How did you..." The mare trailed off as she looked at the human then his right arm.

Ed chuckled as he dusted his arm off. "Sorry but that's another story" Ed said as he used his foot to lift the wooden katana up grabbing it with his left hand. He examined the sword, quickly looking at it before swinging it in two quick blurs. He laughed before facing the tip down and tossing it to the mare.

Octavia caught it and quickly twirled it getting into fighting stance.

"If your done warming up I'd like to fight now" Ed said as he gave a wicked grin.

Octavia's eye twitched and her face showed little emotion of anger as she gripped her katana tight and rushed Ed. Ed just snickered as he dashed off towards the mare. As they stood almost apart from each other Octavia got ready to swing as Ed slowed down to punch her. They both stuck at the same time.

Ed was the first to blink as he saw a blur of pink and suddenly found his punch being blocked by a palm. Ed came to a stop with the sudden block and found that it was Pinkie Pie who held his punch at bay. He looked beside her as saw Octavia's sword resting between her two fingers as the other mare came to a stop. Ed let his punch go and quickly back stepped getting a view of mare. She had smile on her face as she grabbed Octavia's sword and karate chopped the mare in the head. Octavia held her head and rubbed it as Pinkie gave her a disappointed look.

"Your lucky Granny ain't here or you'd be in trouble" The pink mare said while putting her left hand on her hip and letting the wooden katana rest on her shoulder.

"Sorry" Octavia said like a child who just scolded.

Ed didn't understand what was going on as he scratched his head. "Umm"

Pinkie turned to Ed and smiled. "Go ahead and visit Applejack, I got it from here"

Ed was about to decline but found ponies coming out of there homes now that the fight stopped. He thought of all the questions they would have and quickly nodded to Pinkie Pie before picking up his bag and dashing off to the hospital.

Ponyville Hospital

Ed's mind was confused as to what just happened. How did Pinkie block his punch so easily, what's her relationship with Octavia, and who's this Granny. He decided to ignore it all as he remembered that he had magic problems too as he approached the farmers room. Standing before the door he knocked first shortly getting a reply soon after.

"Uh... Just a minute..." He heard from the other side. He waited a few seconds but suddenly heard a "uff" from the other side.

Ed thought that the mare needed help and opened the door. "Do you need any help Appl-"

Ed stopped as he saw the mare on the ground trying to reach for a pair of clothes on the table as she was only wearing a hospital gown. Ed could see that she still had underwear on and let out a sigh of relief.

"I-I said just a dang minute didn't- AH?!" The mare squeaked as the human picked her up like a princess and put her back on the bed.

"Hold on I'll get your clothes" Ed said casually as he turned and got the set of clothes on the table. He turned around and got the shirt ready.

"Wait I don't need-" The mare stopped as Ed gave her a cold stare.

Applejack sighed and turned so Ed could help her into her shirt. Ed walked to the bed and pulled off the hospital gown on her, showing the mares naked back. Ed put the shirt on her slowing trying to ignore the mares breathing. With the shirt on Ed moved back to the table and grabbed the pants. He turned around and saw the mare blushing like crazy.

"Spread your legs out off the bed" Ed asked as the mare nodded and did so.

Ed knelled down and started putting her pants on her from the feet. Applejack helped a little as she pushed her legs in. As Ed got to her thighs he pulled her off the bed a little and continued to lift the pants till they reached her butt. Finished Ed smiled but noticed the mare staring at him.

Ed didn't realize that she had put her hands around his neck while he helped her. Nor the fact that when he lifted her pants he lifted her along as well making her stand.

"Edward..." AJ said slowly as she moved her hands to his chest.

"Yeah Applejack?" Ed asked as he felt his heart beat.

"I think ah..." The mare trailed off as she brought her lips onto his. Ed didn't know what to do at first. But then he felt the need to kiss her back and hold her. So that's what he did.

Ed wrapped an arm around her back and moved a hand to the back of her head as he kissed her. They held the kiss for a few seconds before pulling there heads back and looking at each other. Applejack was still blushing with her eyes lost in his as they stood there. Ed smiled and kissed her on the cheek making her give a soft smile. Both of there eyes widened as they heard the door click.

"Hey Applejack I'm... back?" Twilight said as she looked at the scene.

Ed was sitting on a chair as he rested his head on AJ's bed with the mare's hand on his as she laid there sleeping in the covers.

"Looks like they made up" Twilight thought as she was glad they were friends again.

Before she left, she left a note on the table as she closed the door.

A few seconds past before Ed opened his eyes and raised his head followed by Applejack.

They both let out a sigh before looking towards each other and laughing. Ed got up from his seat and saw that Twilight had left a note. He walked over to the table and picked it up, silently reading it. Ed smiled and turned to the mare.

"Let's get you home shall we"

10 Minutes Later

"Sorry that I can't walk Edward" Applejack said as he rested on Ed's back.

"No problem" Ed replied as he turned his head back and smiled.

Ed was carrying the farmer home now that she was free to go. They were nearing the farm as Ed felt the mares arms tighten around him a little.

"Ed... that was mah first kiss" AJ said as Ed felt his heartbeat again.

Ed stopped walking and waited for the mare to speak again.

"I think that ah... I like you" AJ said as she got off his back and trembled to stand up on her feet.

Ed turned around and helped her stand up as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"How... how do you feel?" AJ asked as she starred at him.

"I... I don't know" Ed replied making the mare look down.

He held her head up and smiled. "But I know I have feelings for you though" Ed said as he kissed her on the lips.

Applejack let his lips touch hers as they stood there holding each other. Minutes seemed to pass as they held there kiss. Eventually they stopped and looked at each other smiling.

"Let's just take it slow okay" Ed said as the mare nodded.

"Can we keep it a secret for now, I'm not really sure what the girl's will think, especially my family" AJ said as Ed nodded.

"Don't worry, now let's get you home" Ed said as he picked her up and started carrying her again.
