~~~~~ To Ask Her Out~~~~
This takes place about a year after Lowell first arrived in Equestria, lately he has been visiting Applejack as of late. Being in Equestria along with seeing no way of going back he grew more and more attached to the farm mare on his visits. Today was a day where Lowell would ask Applejack something in hopes where she would say yes too it.
“Okay, okay....I'm gonna ask her....gotta ask...driving me insane....despite the fact I somewhat am.”Lowell muttered to himself as he looked at himself in the mirror.
“I've grown use to being here.....beats my old life, though I do miss my family and friends.” Lowell said as he closed his eyes as he crossed his forelegs.
“But alas, I'm here in Equestria with no way back.....Besides...I make Applejack laugh.”Lowell said as he chucked to himself.
“Hearts and Hooves Day is about to come....perfect time to ask...”Lowell said as he left his home.
Hearts and Hooves Day was tomorrow and he was going to ask Applejack if she would like to spend that day with him, problem was that mare worked contently even on Hearts and Hooves Day. She would say yes or no, he would risk a chance to act a fool for it was his favorite part to be. Lowell came upon the farm and walked up to Big Mac who was pulling a cart of barrels.
“Heeeeeey Big Mac! Ya seen Applejack around?” Lowell asked as Big Mac nodded and pointed his hoof off towards the orchards.
“Thanks big guy!”Lowell called out as he trotted into the orchards.
As he searched the orchards which didn't take long upon hearing the sounds of trees being bucked, he came upon the mare who spotted him as she smiled to him.
“Hello sugarcube, what bring ya down to tha farm this time?”Applejack asked as Lowell cantered up to her.
“Well, I was wondering....well, if your not busy with anything tomorrow....Applejack...I..uh ...want you to spend Hearts and Hooves Day with me?” Lowell asked as Applejack's ears perked a bit as she blushed.
“Ah.....ah'm not sure...Ah might be busy...”Applejack said as she looked around some.
“Just one chance?...Tis all I'm asking.”Lowell pleaded as his ears fell back some.
“A-ah...”Applejack muttered some seeming to think on it.
“If I disappoint ya, I'll help you with all of applebucking season no fuss!”Lowell said with a hopeful smile.
Applejack sighed before she looked up at the stallion who still had the smile.
“Ya aren't gonna give up are ya?”Applejack said with a small smile.
“I'm the kind that buggers on.” Lowell said as he smirked.
“Alright fine, ah'll give ya a chance sugarcube....what time?”Applejack asked as Lowell's ears perked up as he grinned.
“I'll come around like...uh how does 6 PM sound?”Lowell asked as he smiled.
“That'll do sugarcube.” Applejack smiled at the stallion who had a stupid grin plastered onto his face.
“Okay.....see ya later then!”Lowell said before he cantered off some as Applejack waved him off.
He left the farm soaring in the air grinning like and idiot.
“She said yes!! I can't believe it!”Lowell yelled as he did a couple a flips landing onto a cloud hopping on it giggling to himself.
“Okay, gotta plan this out. I got to make this a day she won't forget!”Lowell said as he stamped his hoof on the cloud with a determined glare.
The stallion could barely get himself to lay in bed during the night often the case when the stallion is excited about something for the night to drag on, till finally he fell asleep. The morning came as Lowell yet again came in contact with the floor as he rolled out of his bed.
“Help, pegasi under attack! Call the....oh.....hello floor...”Lowell said as he got to his hooves chuckling.
He glanced at the clock and blinked a few times, Good, I got like so many hours to be ready! Lowell though t as he yawned stretching his wings some.
“First solve the case of my rumbly tumbly and then I shall be under way for this day!....Huh did that rhyme in a way?”Lowell said as he cantered down stairs.
Lowell went about his normal route of the day by fixing his self up some premade salads for breakfast, after that he got some other things ready for the day. It was nearing the time currently 5 PM, he then got him self some what groomed by brushing his mane just a little and put on a bowtie.
“So suave!”Lowell said to himself as he looked in the mirror.
Lowell cantered out of his home and towards the farm muttering to himself along the way, he finally reached the gates he waited.
“Granny, ah'm just goin out fer tonight....ah don't need ta be all dressed up like this...”Applejack muttered as she stood there in a purple dress with her mane and tail done in a braid.
“None sense, a stallion finally has tha gall ta ask ya out, yer gonna look yer best! Even if its that crazy pegasus that keeps coming around wanting ta hang around yah.”Granny Smith muttered as she pointed her cane at Applejack who was muttering to herself.
“...Fine....”Applejack muttered and looked away some as Granny Smith perked up with a grin.
“Thatta girl, now yah have fun an don't scare him off!”Granny Smith said as she slowly cantered off chuckling.
Lowell was sitting at the gate looking down the road humming to himself as he tapped his hoof on the road in beat with his humming. He then spotted the mare cantering to him as he only stared in awe, Applejack blushed as she saw the stallion staring at her.
“I...feel...soooo under dressed.” Lowell said as he grinned as a blush crept onto his face.
“A-ah'm sorry..mah granny made me dress like this..”Applejack muttered as she blushed.
“Well, a rare sighting for a strange pegasi as I....so shall we?”Lowell said as he bowed slightly.
“So where are we goin?”Applejack asked as Lowell smirked.
“Well, I planned something simple......A picnic....followed by some stargazing....”Lowell answered as he cantered along the road along side the mare.
“Ah see, didn't think this thought all tha way?”Applejack asked as Lowell blushed.
“Well I got two answers for that...one....I kinda half expected you to turn me down, and two I improvise on some things if it doesn't work.”Lowell answered with a small smile.
The two ponies arrive in the middle of the clear fields where a blanket and picnic basket was all set up, Applejack only chuckled as Lowell cantered over and pointed at it.
“Gee, I wonder who set all this up...sure is a coincidence ain't it?”Lowell said as he grinned earning a small fit of giggles from the mare.
“Got ya to giggle at least, ba boom!”Lowell exclaimed as he patted the blanket offering her a spot.
“Yer are a strange pegasus....”Applejack said with a smile as Lowell rolled his eyes.
“I know I am Applejack.” Lowell replied with a grin.
They started on eating on what Lowell had brought which was only a couple of sandwiches and some apple juice, Lowell accidentally squeezed his carton of juice spraying it into his face that alone earned him a laugh from the mare.
“I'll have to do that more often, just to get ya to laugh...eh?”Lowell asked with a chuckle wiping his face with a bit of the blanket.
“So what next sugarcube?”Applejack smiled at the stallion as he pointed a hoof to the night sky.
“We star gaze...”Lowell said softly as Applejack looked at the sky, Lowell on the other hoof stared at her.
I gotta tell her....she already knows I feel about her.....I think.. Lowell's thought but then Applejack leaned against him letting out a sigh.
“Thank ya fer this...No pony really ever asked me out fer a day like Hearts and Hooves Day...”Applejack whispered as she smiled a bit.
“Well......would....I...”Lowell babbled some trying to make sense of his words while Applejack looked at him quirking her eye brow.
“Ya feelin alright Lowell?” Applejack asked as Lowell nodded.
“Look.....Applejack....I...like you...a whole lot! I would dare say..... I've fallen for ya....and if you would give me the chance...I would like to be...well your special somepony.”Lowell said with a small hopeful smile along with a blush.
Applejack stared at the stallion as she started to blush some.
“W-what did ya say?” Applejack asked thinking her ears were playing tricks on her.
“I wanna be your special some pony.....Jackie.” Lowell said with a small smile.
“Ah.....ah don't....but..what if ah'm too busy on tha farm?” Applejack asked seeming to test him.
“Then..well I would help ya.......be it just hanging out or helping around the farm, don't matter too me...as long as your around.”Lowell whispered as his blushed grew along with hers.
“Just a word of warnin......If ya do somthin ah don't like.....ah can get Big Mac ta make ya a mare...”Applejack grinned as Lowell winced a bit.
“Oh....mood killer.....Thanks..”Lowell joked as he slowly draped his wing around the mare as she leaned against him.
“Happy Hearts and Hooves Day Lowell....”Applejack whispered as his ears perked.
“Happy Hearts and Hooves Day to ya too Jackie.”Lowell whispered backk as he gently kissed the top of her head and closed his eyes.
