The Apple Tree & the Olive bush

I woke up, and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was an envelope covering my eyes. I took it off my face, sat up, and opened the envelope. In it was a letter from Applejack, and it said;

Dear Ollie,

Woo-wee! Last night sure was fun! And as of that mugger we konked out? He's in jail. Sure hope he doesn't drop the bar of soap. Anyways, I was thinking maybe you could come meet Twilight and the others. Twilight's only going to be here for a few weeks, and she's heard a lot about you. She's constantly busy with royal duties, but sometimes it takes her back here.

As of the others, they want to ask you something. Rarity told them all about you, and now they're eager to meet you. If you decide to meet them, come to the Golden Oaks Library. We'll be having a get together there.

From,

Applejack

I smiled at the letter as I thought of meeting the others. So I got showered and dressed and went downstairs. When I sat at the kitchen table, waiting for the coffee to finish, I saw a note from Em saying; Breakfast is in the fridge. Left earlier than normal because something involving work came up. Now, me being a good lie detector, knew that she left because of some other reason that did NOT involve work at all. But I just let it go and poured the finished coffee into a mug. I went into the fridge and took out the breakfast. It was a cream cheese bagel, so I just grabbed a plate and put the bagel on it. I sat down and ate. While I did this, I took out the phonebook and looked up the number for the Golden Oaks Library and dialed it into the homephone next to me.

I then heard a voice reply, "Hello?" I asked, "Hi, is this Princess Twilight Sparkle?" which was answered with a simple "Yes." I then said "I'm Applejack's friend, Olive Pix." I heard Twilight gasp and say "Oh, so you're Olive! Well, I hope you'll be coming over today. We're having a--" before I cut her off with "A get together, I know. AJ actually sent me a letter asking if I'll come, and the answer is yes, I will." I then heard Twilight say "Great. Well, see you then." and she hung up. After I hung up, I finished my breakfast and drank all my coffee, then washed the dishes and grabbed my purse and left.

After a few minutes, I found the Library and knocked on the door. A lavender alicorn in a beautiful dress answered and said, "Hi! Come on in. You're a little early, only you and Fluttershy are here." I came in and saw a light yellow pegasus with light pink hair. She raised her hand and waved a little shyly. I waved back and sat down next to her. Twilight sat in front of me, and she levitated me a plate of cookies and a teacup. I took a few cookies and the teacup and sipped from the tea. I decided to start a conversation by saying "So, how long have you been friends with AJ?"

Twilight smiled and said "Actually, for a few years, now. I met her when I was first assigned to go to Ponyville to check up on preparations for the summer sun festival. First thing on the list was food, which was being taken care of by Sweet Apple Acres. I introduced myself, and she shook my hand so hard it kept moving even after she let go. It was quite funny, now that I think about it." I laughed and explained that AJ was always pretty friendly. I decided to ask her something, and since Fluttershy seemed not to be the judgmental type, I said it in front of her too.

"Hey, um Twilight...I was wondering if I could talk to you about something." Twilight nodded, and so I told her, "I'm...into mares." Twilight then said, "That's okay. I don't mind." "That's not all," I replied. "I like...Applejack." Twilight then said, "You want to know a secret?" I nodded, and the princess said, "AJ likes you too."

"Well, I know that. She is my friend, after all."

"No," she then said. "She likes, likes you."

"What?" I asked. I wasn't sure if they were kidding. Fluttershy nodded and said, "Um, yes. She does, Olive. She's said quite a few things about your uh...flanks." I blushed and looked down, not realizing that I was worried about nothing. All I had to ask AJ was if she'd be my special some-pony. "I have an idea, Olive," said Twilight. "Princess Celestia sends me tickets for my friends and I for the Grand Galloping Gala every year. I think I could maybe ask her for an extra one. You could ask her to be your special some-pony." I grinned and yelled, "THAT'S WONDERFUL, TWILIGHT!!! THANK YOU!!!" and hugged her. Twilight then said as I let go, "No problem."

Suddenly, Aj, Rarity and Pinkie Pie came in and sat down. We started to talk and crack jokes, and all the while I thought of what I'm going to do on the night of the Gala.
