Gods of death, darkness and picking up chicks

Quick note: Wow, didn't think that so many would acctualy like this story.

Guess I was wrong.

Anyway, these upcoming chapters have shipping moments with the mane 6 and Jaden.

I will probably set up one more chapter before the big choise. But after the last chapter I make, it will take some time with the 7/8th chapter, because I have to fix some things.

Anyway, enjoy the moments.

A moment of awkwardness: "Apples are healthy for you"

"How the buck did I get into this?"Jaden asked himself.

He was locked inside a cave, almost no light in it and at his side was Applejack.

She was sleeping, right on his side and he could feel her warm body.

She was smiling and Jaden could see that she was enjoying it.

He wasn't comfortable with it but he just couldn't push her away.

"Besides, after what has happened, it can't get any worse" Jaden told himself as he reflected the day:

Earlier that day:

Jaden was walking towards Sweet Apple Acres, he had recived a job from Applejack.

She,and her family, needed help to take in this years crops.

He was quite comfortable with helping these ponies, it was always appriciated and helped him to calm down.

"Hey there, Ah' guess your Jaden" A large, red earth-pony with orange mane, stallion said as it aproched Jaden.

"That's me, and you are?" Jaden asked.

"Ah'm Applejacks big brother" The red stallion explained" Ya' can call me Big Mac, that's what everypony calls me"

"Well, nice to meet you Big Mac" Jaden said with a smile"What's my first work?"

"Ah think that ya' can help me and mah sis' to buck some trees" Big Mac said as they walked towards the appletrees.

When they reached the garden with trees, Jaden realized that he was going to be busy all day.

The appletrees were reaching up to a big hill and it was almost a thousand of trees.

Applejack stood at the entrance of the big forest, with appletrees.

"There ya' are Big Mac, where have yaaah'..." Applejack said but got surprised when she saw that Jaden was with him." What are ya' doing here?"

"You sent a letter that you guys needed help with the crops" Jaden said and raised an eyebrow.

"But ah' never sent a letter" Applejack said in schock, then she saw that Big Mac was looking away while whistling.

After an awkward silence, Jaden shrugged and said:

"Well, I get paid anyway so I might aswell help while I'm here"

"Right, ya' can start at the south side with Applejack and ah' and Applebloom the north" Big Mac said, ignoring the killer-stare from his sister.

"Alright, see you later Big Mac" Jaden said and turned around, he didn't notice when Big Mac said quietly to his sister:

"Good luck"

"Man, this is tough work" Jaden thought, as he kicked down some apples from another tree.

He, and Applejack, had worked all day with bucking trees and Jaden was tired.

He turned around and noticed a cave at a hill.

"Hey Applejack, what's inside that cave?" He asked her, Applejack turned around and noticed it too.

"Uhm... To be honest sugarcube, ah' have no clue" She said as she walked up to the entrance." It wasn't here yesterday"

Suddenly, the ground started to shake and apples fell off their trees.

Rocks fell down towards the entrance, towards Applejack.

"LOOK OUT!!!" Jaden screamed and shoved her into the cave.

They rolled down a long hill and then stopped.

Jaden was on Applejack, with her shoulders pressed down, they were both breathing heavily .

"What's the thing with that I always have to save you?" Jaden chuckled, through his heavy breaths.

Then they both realized how they were positioned, and a hughe blush entered their faces.

"Oh horseapples, I'm sorry" Jaden said, embarrassed, as he jumped of her.

"No it-it's alright" Applejack replied, also very embarrassed, as she got to her feet.

They both turned their faces towards the exit.

It was blocked by giant rocks.

"Looks like we're gonna have to find another way out" Jaden sighed as he turned around, trying to avoid eye-contact with Applejack.

"Guess you're right" She said as she walked right past him, also trying to avoid eye-contact.

They walked deeper inside of the cave, it had some small strain of lights around so they could always see were they were going.

After a while, they got to a crossing tunnel with two different turnes.

"Well, it's 50% chance that we pick the right" Jaden said" Which one should we take?"

"Uhm... Left?" She answered, but then a dragons roar appeared.

Applejack jumped back meanwhile Jaden made a facehoof.

"Really, A BUCKING DRAGON?!!" Jaden screamed out."Can't anything in my life be easy for once?"

"What?" Applejack said confused.

"Nevermind, let's just be careful now" He said as he walked in into the left entrance.

Jaden and Applejack was standing in a hallway of rocks, it was a big room but with a great diamond that let through some light.

"My golly, that's one big diamond" Applejack said schocked" If Rarity saw this one, she would flip over and faint"

"It sure is, but let's get some rest" Jaden yawned" We won't ever make it out if we're not at 100%"

"Ah' guess ya're right" Applejack said as she took a place down the hallway.

Jaden followed her and took a place, a little bit away from her.

He closed his eyelids, but then he heard Applejack say:

"Uhm... Jaden?"

He opened his eyes and saw that Applejack had moved closer to him.

Her face was only a few inches away from his and she was blushing.

"Wh-what?" Jaden asked dumbfounded.

"It's just that, well, ya' have helped me with so much since we met.

Ya' saved mah life 4 times, helped me with an old memory and ya' accepted me as a friend." She said as she took a place, next to Jaden" So ah' just wan't to say thanks"

Jaden blushed furiously as she pressed up against him, put his hoof around her and said:

"For everything"

He could see that she was sleeping, but after all this, Jaden was completely awake.

Jaden looked at the mare, he thought he knew her but after this, he didn't know how to think of her.

She was an honest pony and could, for most of the time, take care of herself in dangerous situations.

But he had never seen this side of her, outgoing but still embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

He took a focus to the center of the room, the diamond was keeping his attention.

He had been called a gem before and he was okay with it, because he was only one of a kind.

He was shining on the stage and, he had to admit it, he had a big mouth.

Jaden looked over to the end of the hallway, he saw the shape of something but he was interrupted by Applejack.

Jaden blushed furiously once again as he felt her nuzzeling up to his head and then putting it to his chest.

"Man, this is embarrassing" Jaden thought to himself as he looked on Applejack.

He let his gaze focus back to the shape, it was the shape of something sleeping.

After Jaden had sharpened his gaze, he recognised what it was.

And it was not a good sight.

It was a big dragon, they had took a spot in the its lair.

Then, to Jadens fear, Applejack let out a snore and the dragon rose up.

"REALLY???" He thought as he scooped up Applejack on his back and galloped back into the tunnel.

"Huh...what's happening?" Applejack asked as she woke up.

She turned her face around and stared right into the gap of the dragon.

"Woah, what happened?" She asked schocked as she jumped of and galloped at Jadens side.

"I could tell you, but then you're going to jump into the dragons jaws." Jaden said as he picked up speed.

"Wha...?" Applejack asked but Jaden interrupted with:

"Just trust me"

They ran for their life, through every part of the cave.

But because of that, they found themselves stuck at the blocked entrance.

"CRAP, IT'S A DEAD END" Jaden screamed as he made a facehoof.

"Looks like this is it"

"Look, Jaden" Applejack said as she went up to him.

"If we don't survive the fight then ah just want to give ya' this".

She leaned in closer for every moment and Jaden was at the top of embarrassment.

"Oh god, don't tell me that she's going to..." Jaden thought as Applejack leaned in closer, with closed eyes.

He was blushing furiously but, for some reason, he didn't move.

Then, a boulder was moved away and they could see Rainbow and their friends at the entrance.

"Come on, there isn't much time" Twilight shouted and they both ran up the hill.

The boulder was closed as they passed it by.

Applejack and Jaden panted heavily.

"Thanks, I guess we're even now."he said gratefully" How did you find us?"

"Big Mac told us that you both were missing. After a long search, we found this blocked entrance." Rainbow explained" You know the rest"

"What happened down there?" Twilight asked.

" A dragon, like usual" Jaden said, avoiding Applejacks awkward moments." Well thanks again, but I've got to go"

Jaden took of into the air, ignoring the mares that looked after him.

He needed to be alone for a moment.

He was still in schock after the day, action and awkward moments wasn't his type of adventure.

"Boy, this was an awkward day" he said to himself.
