Kudos to my friend Smakdude for coming up with the title for this chapter

The Smell of Bubblegum

Twilight and I we’re locked in a loving, calm and close and both of us were contempt.

As I broke the kiss she looked ever so happily at me and just as I was about to speak we both hear a small but quiet “hay” we both look to our right and see nothing but the road, and a small bobbing red bow, that red bow was sat atop a red tuft of hair, sprawled across a small child's head, freckles were all over her face, young red hued eyes looked innocently up at both of us, I had no idea of what she was doing here looking at us but she seamed to be staying their, staring and occasionally blinking and looking away but back at both us constantly.
Twilight spoke up, knowing the small girl.

“Uhh Applebloom? What... Where’s Applejack?” the small girl tilted her head to the side and looked over both of us once again.

“She and Pinkie’s over ther’ Who’s this guh?” Her voice was slightly quiet but the southern twang was settled deep in her voice and was very hard to understand some of her words.

“He’s.. uh this is Soran, he’s new around here, what are you guys doing?” Twilight was moving away from me slowly and giving me, once again, an un wanted coldness, but she didn’t let go of my arm, allowing me some comfort as she conversed with this small person.

“Wher’ makin’ thah rounds, we had a small amount of Apple cider left from last ‘arvest, whould yah like one?” Apple cider? It did sound like a good idea, and I’ve really only had wine and vodka... I think... it might have been vodka, I don’t know.

“Umm... not just yet, I actually have some from Harvest as well, it’s my last bottle, I’m saving it for a special day” while Twilight never let go of my arm she did move closer to me, and as her and slowly slid down to meet my own, as they intertwined two people walk around the corner, all of our eyes flew towards their location, Twilight and Applebloom both smiled while I looked dumbstruck at what I was seeing.

Charging around the curve was one so curvaceous herself woman would get implants in their hips, waist and breasts just to have a chance to match her, her super tight tank top clung to every part of her body, bright pink in colour and not an ounce of her upper arms wasn’t covered in scars, deep or shallow, I was amassed at how her natural skin colour hadn’t faded with her scars but she seamed to not care about them so I only pondered in my mind as to what may have caused them, the rest of her outfit was only a pair of deep brown knee high boots and a long skirt, she seamed to bounce alot and the skirt was perfect so that only a small amount of leg flesh could be seen, other than that the only extraordinary part about her was her hair, Bright pink with a lot of curves, almost the same as her body.

But the other person was more noticeable, Golden hair, topped with a brown cowboy hat that had a red tape around it, her eyes were bright green that pierced through you with an aura of understanding and acceptance, her outfit was more closer to her body that anything that I’ve seen, but her physical form was large, not fat but pure muscle, it didn’t shed any of the appeal from her body instead amplified it, a taunt stomach along with powerful muscles rested underneath a brown shirt, the arms were torn off roughly and the waist was cut, sweat seemed to make the top smaller and her ample but still rather large bosom was covered completely aside from a small amount of cleavage, other than that she only wore a pair of stonewashed blue jeans and a stereotypical pair of cowboy boots, she was pushing a rather large cart, a loud jingling sound coming from inside and as the wheel hits every pot-hole in the road all of her body jiggled.

The pink haired woman approached us and as soon as she saw Twilight she started running towards her, withing a few steps of her she jumped towards Twilight, barely allowing her time to stretch her arms out and brace for the impending impact, which actually didn’t come, instead the charging woman stopped in her tracks, which for someone who wasn’t used to such random things happening seemed unatural, as her hair bobbed and Twilight slowly opened her eyes, the pink haired one swung bot her arms out quickly and took Twilight around her waist and lifted her up without any strain, as the Libraian kicked the small child laughed loudly at the sight.

The pink haired woman started to speak in a higher pitch then Twilight did more quickly as well “Oh Twilight I feel like you haven’t seen me, or I haven’t seen you, Can we hang out? of course we can, I can bring sweets, and cake and something to drink and maybe if you feel like it I can find that book I mentioned, you know the book with all of those positions like that one I did with...” her head snapped towards me and I insttaly felt all eyes on me, Twilights in particular as she slowly gasped for air as the scared woman pulled her tighter, as Twilight was set down she coughed slightly before moving towards my side and introducing me to the crowd.

“Uh, guys this is Soran, he’s pretty new around here so be nice to him, and please, for Celestia’s sake, Pinkie, no party’s” Pinkie slouched, but she quickly looked at me with a mechivious grin, which I can only confirm as a bad sign, but I’m sure you didn’t read all of this so that I can prattle on about the looks Pinkie gives me, and Twilight was pulling me closer to her so I only felt just her body on the side she was stood on.

Pinkie stepped closer towards me, and just stared where as the blonde walked over, leaving the cart behind her and held out her hand, which I caustiously took, the grip was really strong, and I’m sure at a moments notice she could break my hand, after I let go she went and stood over next to her cart and stood with her arms crossed.

“Hay, so Twilight, hows Yah’ studie’s bin goin’?” Twilight must have light up and smiled at the southern woman as she stepped away from my side.

“Oh, Its going great, my last letter from the princess was actually last week and the most recent assignment was about a study into animal social structures, I’ll ask Flutter if I can... study...” before I knew what was happening, I had a hand probing around my face, grabbing my cheeks and pulling anything it could gets it’s pinchy little fingers on, my cheeks were pulled apart and my mouth was streatched open and all I could see is a head full of pink hair, and a couple of fingers delved into my mouth, I couldn’t understand why she was doing this but when she pulled out and brought her fingers up towards her nose and took a big sniff, I was throughly disturbed but the blonde’s hand came up and lowered Pinkie’s, both of them looked at me with diffirent smile’s, Pinkie’s was a more mechivous one and the blonde was a more *sorry my friend did that... she was dropped on her head or sumin’* Twilight was a little flabbergasted and I’m sure the small red head was mortified but the conversation moved on in a less random way.

“Whel’ I’m sorry for her behavior, she’s mor’ or less the random one...” Twilight stepped back closer towards me and Pinkie stepped away, turned around and giggled, she didn't look at me but out of the corner of my eye I saw the red tuft haired girl open her mouth widely and her eyes became almost like saucers, although Twilight started the talking back up I still felt like something was off.

“She makes sure all of us are super happy... although some times she does go over the top, it can be very adorable..... I mean sweet!” all of us laughed but some of us just looked awkwardly at Pinkie who was smiling intensely, not to mention creepy. “Anyway I have to go back to the Library and see if Spike’s finished his chores... you guys know how he can be without help”

“Oh Twiligh’ are ya walking by Rarity’s?” Twiligt nodded and the blonde went back to her cart she fiddled around slightly and pulled out a green bottle, at first I thought it was some form of tonic or something “She paid for a bottle in advancah’ so don’h worreh abou’ money” Twilight nodded before her eyes went wide and she nearly jumped her spine shot up so straight that quick.

“And I need my special outfit for tomorrow, Soran please, try and come around at a late time... say 1 pm??” I nodded and I went to leave a few steps down the road and I hear a loud “Wait up!”. I span around to see the blonde... alone, she still had her cart with her but she seamed to be dragging it behind her as she ran down the potholed road, her hair bounced and her chest threatend to follow but stayed close to her body, when she caught up she slowed down and walked slightly until she was next to me “I nevah ment to be too rude back their, mah name’s Applejack, or ya could call me AJ... um, I have quite a far walk and I’d enjoy the company, care tah join me?” I saw the appeal in it and I accepted to which she started to walk ahead by at least a step dragging the old wooden cart behind her, the noise coming from the cart was surprisingly quiet considering the noise she made earlier and the road we were on was quite long and bumpy but we both went along it as quickly as she wanted, I just followed.
