Chapters Applejack's Fluster Button
Applejack had fallen head over hoofs for Bruno . There was no question.
Bruno was a wealthy bachlor who didn't have to lift a paw to get what he wanted. If Bruno wanted a chocolate bar that wouldn't melt in August he could get it before even saying so. But the rottweiler didn't want life handed to him on a silver platter. He wanted to be out there enjoying its twists and turns like everyone else.
Applejack found that very surprising after meeting many ponies from privledged families.
“Miss me?”
Applejack jumped.
“Bruno you tricky varmit! You nearly scared me out of my fur.”
“I have that effect on beautiful girls.”
Bruno wrapped her up in his sweaty arms.
Applejack shivered.
The mare was at a loss for words. Her face was on fire.
“Is there a problem?”
“N-no..”
(A few hours later in Rarity's room..)
“He said that? Was his eyebrow cocked? Was he smirking?”
“Yes , like a rifle ,and yes.”
Rarity giggled. “Oh my! Bruno does care about you that's for sure!”
Applejack blushed. “Quit beatin around the bush! What's goin on that I'm not getting?”
Rarity nearly swooned. “Darling as much as I love you , you can be truly dense. Bruno is clearly trying to sexually frustrate you!”
“He-WHAT-why?! How does he know what-why?”
Rarity composed herself. “Well dear you must be giving him mixed signals. He must be unsure of your feelings for him!”
“But he should know I care. We hug , and touch paws from time to time.”
“That's it?”
“Well I'm sorry , we can't all roll around in the hay all night like SOME couples!”
“I never..ki-been with anyone before. Rarity I ain't comfortable , I don't know how these things work!”
Rarity arched an eyebrow. “You haven't had your first kiss?!”
“No! Is..is that bad?”
“No dear of course not. Does Bruno know that?”
“No! I didn't tell him cause I was worried he..he would laugh at me.”
“The confident Applejack is worried of being ridiculed? Darling if Bruno loves you, which he truly does if he's trying so hard to read you, then he won't laugh at you.”
“Yeah you're right Rarity. Thanks for the pep talk.”
“Anytime dear.”
(The Next Day..)
Bruno was dressed to kill in a ripped flannel shirt, a black cowboy hat with a crocodile tooth necklace.
He took a deep breath and knocked on Applejack's door.
Applejack opened the door to find Bruno in the sexiest outfit she had ever seen. Wait, where did that come from? She blushed. The rottweiler had a killer smirk on his face. “Dang it all Rarity was right! Shoot he looks hotter than the first day of August!”
“Hello lovely. Nice to see some red in that pretty orange this morning.”
Applejack's face burned even more. She was crumblimg inside.
“You ok? You keep staring at me with your mouth open. I don't want flies in there.”
“No I'm fine. You're fine- I mean yeah I've never been better!”
Bruno smiled and cocked an eyebrow.
“You look hot! I mean great, good um..”
“Stop. I know. Applejack stop stuttering like a broken record. You're cute as all heck when you get flustered, but I didn't come here to watch you crash and burn. Though it's very cute when you babble.” Bruno chuckled.
Then he kissed the mare. Applejack tensed up until she realized she was ready. Bruno was telling her to stop worrying. The dog entered her mouth. His breath smelled like cinnamon. The earth pony responded with a passion she didn't know she was capable of.
“Applejack.”
“Hm?”
“Applejack you're gonna knock me over. Are we going to go inside? If you are ready..um I would rather not have the neighbors see that...”
“Uh..sorry about that..I got carried away..I guess..” Applekjack mumbled, feeling embarrassed at her lack of self control.
“Did I just make out with Bruno on my porch? Crabapples! So much for not knowing what I'm doin! I hope Rarity didn't see us...or Rainbow Dash! She'll never let me live this down!”
***Turning Up The Heat***
“Yes Amazon this is Applejack we're discussing.” said Bruno rolling his eyes.
“So wait tell me again what happened. I need a recap here.”
“Fine you closet perv..here it is. I went all sexy redneck to impress her, then she gets all hot and bothered when she opens the door...”
“Wait hold up! Applejack has a fluster button? How does miss calm and rational get all horny?! Like how does that even work?!”
Bruno sighs..his friend is such a dork sometimes..
“She starts sweating like crazy and her face turns into a tomato. Then she can't speak without stuttering. I personally think it's adorable.”
“Oh my gosh! That is so freakin cute! Then what happened?”
“Amazon are sure you just like chicks?”
“Shut up! I'm a hopeless romantic! Just tell me before I explode!”
“Then I kissed her.”
“You kissed her? And then what was her reaction to her first kiss ever?”
“You are a stalker Amazon. I worry about you..”
“Tell me or so help me God Bruno I will send a Tundra zombie on you!”
“Oh my god! Bruno you whipped Applejack! This is crazy! I'm freaking out!”
“I worry about you Amazon..you need a life Bro..”
“Dude I have one! It's analyzing yours!”
“Creep.”
“Proud of it Dollface.”
The dance was over. Applejack had walked home with Twilight. Bruno was originally going to walk home with Amazon but he knew Amazon would be..occupied with Rarity tonight so there was no chance of that.
“I should have known you were gonna be here tonight.” sighed Bruno
Bruno loved the couple dearly but they were the most dramatic and craziest animals he had ever met even more so than Pinkie Pie and Rarity.
“Ok Bruno spill those juicy green beans! You are grinning like an idiot and Amazon's not available to do his job so crack open the can buckaroo!” crowed Bruzzles.
“Oh my gosh he is totally blushing!” sang Blossom with a gleeful expression.
“Grab that worm and feed it to us birds boy! We be hungry for the 411!” shouted Bruzzles startling the stragglers in the entry way.
“Walk with me and I'll tell you everything ok? Just stop embarrassing me here please. I have to go to school here guys.”
The couple exchanged a high five as they left the building. It looked comical considering Bruzzles is 4.5 and Blossom is a foot taller.
“Wahoo! We finally broke him baby!” said Bruzzles while waggling his eyebrows.
“How's about a victory kiss for my hunky champion?” whispered Blossom with a sly smile.
“Blossom..my flower..I think Bruno's put off by our sexy chemistry..again..we have to continue this later..” Bruzzle's mouth was twitching as he tried not to laugh.
But Bruzzles...I don't wanna..” whined Blossom with a pout on her face that was so compelling it should be illegal.
Bruzzles didn't back down.
“No babe,Bruno has to tell us about his love life. We can showcase ours later, when he is not around.” purred the bear with a sultry wink.
When Bruno finished telling them every detail Bruzzles said: “Oh my lord boy you are in L-O-V-E!”
Bruno blushed. “Shut up.” he mumbled.
Blossom however had a serious expression on her face.
“Honey where do you want to go with this? And more importantly since this pretty pony hasn't ever been in any item before what does she want?”
“I'm very happy with her. I think she is happy with me...I was just planning to let the chips fall as they may?” said Bruno with a wince at what he knew what was coming.
“Not on my watch Moon Pie!” growled Bruzzles with a wicked grin.
“And what do you suggest dear husband of mine?” giggled Blossom.
“Well I think this situation requires a plan of action my darling wife!”
Blossom smirked.
Bruno growled and groaned in annoyance at his friends antics.
“Guys no! Please don't get involved! Please! I can handle my love life just fine ok?”
“Hmm? Really Bruno? I don't think you can actually! Said Bruzzles in a sing-song voice.
Blossom pulled out a chart.
“Well let's see your previous romantic history shall we?”
“Can I die now please?” grumbled Bruno to the sky.
“Sky? Total airhead with a cute middle school sweetheart that she dumped for you... A flighty freshmen with no ambition at all...Fantastic choice Bruno! Then she broke up with you at YOUR request to save her ex's feelings. She was a real catch huh?” said Bruzzles.
Blossom pulled out another chart and said: “ Um..ah yes Tundra..touchy jealous type but totally hot which completely overrules the fact that she's gay and tried to kill someone over the summer right? Wrong-O! Also small detail..she cheated on you with MANY girls before you two lovebirds broke up! ”
Bruno hit his head on a wall in frustration.
“So?Neither of those relationships had anything to do with you guys!”
“Exactly my point dearie!” Exclaimed Blossom.
“We need to get this Ship rockin and rolling in the romantic ocean sweet pea! Cause clearly you can't!” said Bruzzles poking Bruno in the chest.
“Can I go home and let my head explode from your insanity in private please?”
“What you don't want to stay for the spinning of the plot?” whined Bruzzles.
“Yeah Bruno why not? You did a great job with Operation Flutterdash! Why not use the power to give yourself a hand in the romance department?” said Blossom with an innocent smile.
“No because even if I don't approve of your plot line, you're gonna do it anyway!”
Bruno took off running. There was only so much Blossom and Bruzzles one could take in one day let alone a few hours.
The crazy couple burst out laughing.
Bruzzles hugged her and stroked his wife's mane.
Blossom smiled warmly and kissed him.
“How the hell did I get so lucky?”
“I ask myself the same thing everyday gorgeous.”
And so the aspiring evil matchmakers began spinning a plot line for Brunojack.
This belle's got Bruno under her hoof,
Say Blossom is this Dame,
True dat Bruzzles!
Well Blossom I just had a memory jog,
Bruzzles you silly bear,
My my my,
Sad but true,
Blossom my dear,
Oh Bruzzles I applaud,
Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
I can see what's happening.
Can you feel the love tonight?
So many things to tell him
She's holding back so much now,
Can you feel the love tonight?
And so our work is done tonight,

This is a parody of the fabulous song from the Lion King. If you haven't seen it go watch it right now!
“Applejack Darling you really need to calm down. It's just a party.”
“Um..ok.”
“Why yes, of course.”
“Do you want me to get you some punch AJ?” asked Bruno.
Applejack loved the punch ,it was like liquid orange sherbert. Alice wrote down the recipe and Bruno put it in his pocket since Applejack had didn't have anywhere to put it.
2 Hours Later
“Applejack?”
“Yeah?”
“Want to go for a swim?”
Bruno stepped out of the water.
“You're not upset with me?”
“Can you take me home? Ah'm kinda tired.”
“Sure thing AJ.”

Listen to More Than Words By Extreme while reading this. I think it really captures the chapter.
“She did what?!” asked Amazon nearly shouting.
Bruno sighed sadly.
“Afraid of what exactly?” asked Amazon, with a skeptical eyebrow raised.
“I don't know! How bruised do you think my pride is right now? And the worst part was the look of pity when she didn't say it back.” Bruno put his face in his paws.
“Your pride? I think an apple that took a ride downhill on a dirt road filled with rocks sounds about right.”
“You know me so well Am...”
Bruno sniffled. “I know it just hurts.”
“I know it does big guy, but remember faint hearts never won fair ladies.”
Bruno smiled. “You always know what to say Am.”
Meanwhile at Applejack's house...
Pinkie winked. “It's nopony I know that's for sure!”
My love is deeper than the holler.
From the back roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between,
My love is deeper than the holler.
My love is deeper than the holler.
Bruno smiled that smile that reserved only for her. “Thank you.”
And so they did.

I thought Applejack should sing a cute little country song. So I came up with Randy Travis's Deeper Than The Holler. If you haven't heard it yet listen to it. It's a really sweet song.
Bruno saw Applejack sitting alone.
He straightened his hat, and walked over to the table she was sitting at.
“You look..sexy,like wow..you just look wow..” Bruno couldn't help himself. He was blushing.
“I called you sexy. I just thought you should know you are. Um if I offended you I can go...” said the Rottieweiler his face even more flushed than before.
“Uhhh.No stay. I'm not offended. No one's ever...I've never been..um..uh...” The mare stuttered hopelessly trying to find the words.
“Well someone should have then. Would you like to dance?”
“I-I- yeah.”
Applejack's hoof fell into Bruno's paw full of promise.
Bruno smiled tenderly as he led her gently to the dance floor.
The mare felt secure in his muscular arms yet flustered all at once as they glided.
When the first song ended, Bruno pulled Applejack into a slow, sweet kiss.
“You are more lovely than you know Applejack. I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my paws off you milady.” The dog whispered in a seductive voice in her ear.
“I'm so glad your here. I hope you become a regular occurrence.” muttered Applejack.

I came up with this while listening to Dance With Me by The Orleans. Listen to it and you'll see why.
