Soarin reflects on his time, memories and love for a certain apple farmer.

Love is a mysterious thing.

One minute you are at a gala your fellow Wonderbolt teammates, the next you meet a cute mare and end up in a relationship with her.

Now a year has passed, and a certain member of said Wonderbolts is spilling his emotions and feelings into a letter to that cute mare. The mare who can also bake tasty pies as well.

My Ode to You

Dear Applejack,

Can you believe a year has passed? Time sure does speed by when you are in love. Thank you so much. Now you're probably saddened that I have to miss out on our anniversary due to my duties as a Wonderbolt, but don't let that mean that I don't love and care for you.

I'm writing this letter to tell you that even if we have things to do and may be to busy to find the time to be together often, I think it makes us stronger because of it. Every time I close my eyes, I picture you and your beauty. Your green eyes, your orange fur, your blond mane, that hat and those freckles. I am surprised that no one has called you beautiful that often.

Almost every time we meet though, you always ask me why I chose you. Why, a Wonderbolt that can have any mare he wanted would choose a lowly apple farmer from the mud. It hurts me every single time you ask me that to be honest, that you think yourself unworthy of a stallion like me. Sure I would tease it was because of the pies you bake, but in actually, I chose you because you were the first mare who did not give a flying buck that I am Wonderbolt, you treated me as though I am regular ordinary stallion that it touched me.

At night I would always think back to the times we were together, like that time we wrestled and made-out in the mud, that was fun, never knew you had a naughty side to you. The time I found out you had a lot of 'turn-on' spots was also fun. But my favorite memory of us so far has to be your birthday where we danced the night away to our song, making sure you felt wanted every step of the way.

I still remember how our song goes, "I want to kiss your lips, I want to make you feel wanted." words I live by when I'm with you.

Do you remember the time were we talked about our perfect future together? Where I am the leader of the Wonderbolts, you had your own farm and we had three foals. I dreamed about that life last night, and it was as perfect as I always imagined. Now THAT'S my kind of future I can get behind.

Now Applejack, I know you don't hear this often, and it pains me to know that fact, but you ARE indeed beautiful, you are the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria and I feel lucky just to have gotten to know you and to be with you. To see you at your good, at your bad and at your worst. We promised each other long ago that we will indeed be together forever and I mean it. The last thing I want in my life is to be alone again. I don't want just any mare, I want you and only you, I don't want to share, I don't want to be a polymorus relationship...just you.

Don't ever be afraid to cry into my shoulder Applejack, don't ever be afraid to come to me when times get tough, just don't ever be afraid.

I hear you sleep-talking sometimes, the fact that those nightmares about me leaving you won't stop. I promise you AJ, our relationship will not end up becoming like your previous relationship, I don't ever want to hurt you intentionally or not.

Well...I would love to say more, but Spitfire needs me for something, I will write to you again tomorrow.

I can't wait to see you again when I get back!

With so much great love,

Soarin.

P.S. Mind if you leave your mane loose and free the way I like when we do meet again? I know you probably miss me.

Soarin managed to find Sweet Apple Acres, he was on a mission, an important one.

The pegasus stallion walked up to the farmhouse and knocked on the front door. "Can ah help ya?" said a voice from behind.

Soarin turned around to see the mare he has been looking for standing in front of the house. "Hey! Yer that nice colt from the Gala a few days back...what brings ya here?" she climbed up to the porch.

"I just came here to thank you for the pie since you left before I had a chance to." said the stallion.

"Ya really thought the pie was good?" Applejack really did not expect such a statement since she assumed that since all the ponies would rather have ate the fancy food than the pies that they were bad.

"I thought it was the most delicious pie I have ever ate." smiled the stallion.

"Well...it is mighty nice to hear such compliments...I worked my rump off bakin' those pies."

"But I am really sorry that none of the other guests saw that...I really felt bad that your stand didn't do so well there."

"That's okay...yer bound to get slow days at times...besides, it's not like we're desperate for money..." Applejack gave a fake smile. They actually really did need some money.

"But I really want the whole kingdom to know about those pies, so I was thinking about giving you a special offer." proposed Soarin.

"What's that?"

"A catering contract for the Wonderbolts."

"A what?!" Applejack was in shock at being given such an offer.

"And it pays a thousand bits upfront."

"A THOUSAND?!"

"Upfront...plus a thousand once the job gets done...plus a certain percentage of the ticket sales..."

Applejack, with her best mathematics abilities, which is really not saying much, could just not comprehend the large amount at stake. The amount of bits to be had caused her brain to short circuit. She immediately fainted.

Soarin looked on with concern at the fallen mare. "Too much?"

Little did they both knew, but it was the start of something more.

THE END
