//-------------------------------------------------------// Big Mac and the shy filly -by jasper101202- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Gathering the courage //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Gathering the courage Chapter 1: Gathering the courage Rustling in his bed, his hind legs still throbbing from a long days work bucking apples. Just one thought kept him from falling asleep. The beautiful mare his sister is friends with, Fluttershy. The name was even sweet and kind. Just the thought of her sent Big Mac's head into a whirlwind of emotions. "Get a hold a yer self." he thought to himself "Plus there'd be no way she'd fall fer a farm pony like me." After many attempts of trying to fall asleep he realized the struggle was useless. So thinking a walk in the night air could clear his mind he trotted down the stairs from his room in the barn to the bottom level and left. He decided to take a walk to clear his mind but instead it became more cluttered with thoughts of the light yellow mare. Kicking a stone in frustration he mumbled aloud. "Why can't I get her out of mah mind?!" As soon as he kicked the stone he heard a stir in the bushes. Wondering who it could be or WHAT it could be he asked hesitantly. "Is anybody ther? It ain't smart hidin in bushes eavesdroppin on someponys conversation." "I-I-I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!" A hushed voice came from behind the bushes "I shouldn't have been here..." "F-F-Fluttershy?" Big Mac stuttered in a mix of emotions from relief to regret "I didn' mean to hit y'all I didn' know you was behind ther. I'm sorry sugarcube. But what y'all doin' ther in the first place?" "Oh I was.... I was just... Uhhh" Fluttershy said shyly as she emerged from the bushes "I was just....staying with a f-f-family of racoons that I was t-t-taking care of..." "Y'all don need ta be sorry. Ah'm the one ta be sorry. I shouldn' be goin roun' kickin things. Did I hurt y'all?" "N-n-no I'm fine Big Mac." Fluttershy replied with great haste. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop but who can't you get out of your mind? If I can ask....you don't have to answer if you don't want to. It's okay." She said with such timidness. Big Mac's face began to turn a bright red despite his fur already being a moderate crimson, you could tell the stallion was blushing immensely. "I...I was eh... I was talking about..." He was searching frantically for something to tell the young mare "It was nuthin..." Have said that he regretted being so shy and not telling the truth. He just stared at her with emotions running deep through his mind. Catching his composure and gathering up his strength, he took the first step to telling the dear sweet Fluttershy how he felt. "Fluttershy? I actually got somethin ta say ta y'all." "Yes Big Macintosh?" Fluttershy said in her sweet darling voice. "Well ah, I think it could wait til tomorrow. It's pretty late out." He said knowing deep down he should have just told her how he felt. " Ah'm sorry I woke you and yer little critter friends." "Oh it's no problem at all. How about we meet at the cafe tomorrow?" Fluttershy said with a calm almost serine composure. "If that's okay?" Surprised at the shy mares confidence all he could say was "Eeyup" Bidding good night to one another they went their own ways. Big Mac thinking to himself that the shyest pony of all of Equestria asked him to lunch instead of him asking her. Will she think he isn't manly enough to ask her to lunch or anything? Instead of the walk clearing his mind it became more jumbled and all thoughts were on Fluttershy. Tomorrow finally came. Chores had to be done and apples needed to be bucked. Being a farm pony you wake up before the sun is just rising. Bucking his last tree he hauled the barrels of apples towards the barn. "H-hi Big Macintosh." A familiarly sweet sounding voice rang through his ear. "Fluttershy?" He looked above him and there she was, floating angelically in mid-air. "What y'all doin up this early? I thought we was meetin' up is afternoon?" He said a bit confused. "Oh we are I just usually come bye and get a few apples for the little animals I take care of. Angel especially, he only likes apples that are perfect. So what better place then Sweet Apple Acres?" "Well I just finished up my chores, want me to help ya gather some apples?" Big Mac said with utmost confidence. When it came to apples he was the one to call. Of course Applejack was just as equally educated in apples, he knew the part of the apple orchard that had the most plump, crispy, juiciest apples on Sweet Apple Acres. "I know where the best apples are in this here orchard. Care to follow me?" "Oh of course." She said as she followed the muscular stallion through the labyrinth of large, fruit barring trees. "It's so kind of you to do this for me, I appreciate it a lot." "Ah yer welcome sugarcube. I'm just glad to help out a pony in need." Big Mac said as they approached their destination. "Here we are." "Oh my!" Fluttershy said as she stood in awe. "It's so large, how will you be able to buck any apples down?" "I always come to this tree when I need a good workout or Ah'm angry or upset. This tree is the largest on the farm. Not many ponies know about it. AppleJack knows about it but that's just 'bout it. I trust you to bring you to this tree. It's where I got when I need sometime to think or just be left alone." "Well I am greatly honored that you brought me here Big Mac." Fluttershy said with her happy tone. "Might wanna stand back now. It's a big tree so the apples might fall on y'all." "Oh okay, thanks." Fluttershy said as she stood back a little but away from the huge trunk of the tree. Big Mac gathered his strength and prepared a might kick. WHAM! THUD THUD. Then a shriek! Big Mac looked over as Fluttershy was under a hail of apples. "Fluttershy Ah'm comin!" He leaped over to the tiny Pegasus and shielded her from the barrage of apples. "Y'all alright?" "Y-y-yes..." Fluttershy managed to utter through tears. "Thank you Big Macintosh I'm so sorry I was in the way..." "No it ain't nothin', Ah'm jus' glad to see y'all are okay. The barrage of apples falling to the ground with a large thud. Standing over the tiny mare he noticed that instead of tears of joy she was crying tears of joy? "Y'all okay Fluttershy?" "Yes. I never noticed how beautiful your eyes were Big Macintosh. But aren't you getting hurt? Those apples are quite large." Fluttershy said in deep concern. "Once you've lived and worked on a farm for so long ya get used to apples fallin' on ya. I just y'all are okay." Big Macintosh said as the last of the apples have seized. "Okay lil Fluttershy y'all are all safe now." Fluttershy looked up towards her savior. Her eyes still damp with tears looked so amazing. Nopony had eyes as clear and beautiful as hers. The teal color was so overwhelming. "What can I do to repay you? And don't say nothing because I won't take no for an answer. I'm sorry was that mean?" "How 'bout I take you out to dinner some night?" Finally he got enough strength to ask her to dinner. "Oh no no no. I must ta-" Fluttershy was cut off by him rubbing his muzzle against her neck. Leaving her in shock. "Nah I gotta tell you somethin' tonight Fluttershy. Ah'll pick y'all up tonight, okay?" Big Mac said with great confidence. He felt as if he were a million bits. Looking at her in the little rays of light shinning through the gaps between trees, her fur was just a tad damp from her tears and the little drops caught the light and made her look radiant. After that he helped her with the apples and walked her to her little cottage and said their good byes. In a few hours the two ponies would be sitting down together eating a nice dinner. And wondering where to begin. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: One Hoof At A Time //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: One Hoof At A Time Chapter 2: One Hoof At A Time The dinner date he and Fluttershy had this evening was just hours away. Leaving Big Macintosh panicking for an excuse, an exit plan, something to get out of the plans set for tonight. Stomping a hoof to the wooden floor of the barn, he stopped himself. These feelings for Fluttershy were only growing larger and larger as time went on. He never felt this way about anypony before. Out of all of the mares in Ponyville he never felt this deeply about a pony. Hoping she had the same feelings for him, he got himself together and prepared for the night ahead. Instead of going out to a fancy diner he thought he would make a nice, romantic dinner in the barn. Candle lit, expertly cooked apple pie and tarts, and a nice salad or sunflower sandwich for her. Just one last thing he needed to do, straighten up his mane and tail. Being a farm pony, working out in the orchard left a pony quite filthy and having a large schedule left little time to get ready. After a few preparations everything, including him, was clean and ready, the dinner looking magnificent and pitch perfect. There was just one thing missing, Fluttershy. Applejack told him she lived in a cottage near the Everfree Forest. Not that far of a walk, he left a bit early to make it to her cottage and back to still have time to talk after the dinner. So he left and walked past a few flower stands in town and decided it'd be a nice thought to get her some flowers. "Now things are going great" he thought to himself. "Nothing will ruin this night." Finally reaching Fluttershys cottage he could hear her panting and she sounded out of breath. "What is she doin' in there?" he thought to himself. After wondering if he should leave he knocked on the small door and heard her say "Hurry and go out the back!" Confused and a bit jealous he thought it was another pony. After a few minutes she finally answered the door. Her mane was a mess and her tail was wet and messy and she was out of breath. "What happened to you?" He asked with confusion, rage, and jealousy swimming through his mind. "Oh n-n-nothing. I'm sorry. You can come in while I get ready. I'm so sorry." she said quickly as if trying to avoid the subject. She quickly grabbed a brush and dashed upstairs. "What was she doin?!" his temper began to flare. What if it was another stallion? What if she didn't like him? What if... There were so many questions running through his mind. Not wanting to believe his thoughts or believe any of it, he left the flowers on the floor and left the tiny cottage. "Big Macintosh, I'm ready." Fluttershy said as she came down the stairs from her room. Noticing the stallion was gone and the bouquet of flowers crushed on the ground by the door she ran after the large stallion hoping to catch him before he got too far. Following a trail of little water droplets, that were most likely tears, and large hoof prints. The trail of droplets ended. The trail of hooves was spread larger apart. He was running? Running where? Then it hit her. The large tree in the orchard! So as fast as she could she ran to Sweet Apple Acres. It was so dark under Princess Luna's moon. The sound of her hooves against the ground as she ran was entrancing. Finally arriving to Sweet Apple Acres she found a new trail. It was blood! "Oh my! What happened?!" Fluttershy exclaimed, although there wasn't a great deal of blood to be considered a large wound. She was running in and out of trees, weaving through the many barrels, stumbling a few times in the dark. Suddenly she stopped, hearing a quiet whimper through tears. Walking quietly towards the noise, in the small ray of moonlight through the canopy of the apple trees there sat Big Macintosh. The moonlight catching his tears and turning them into tear-shaped diamonds that even Rarity would die for. "Big Macintosh? W-what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked with her kind and gentle tone, the tone she used on her small animal friends to comfort them. Rubbing the tears from his crimson cheeks, Big Macintosh stood up and turned his to see Fluttershy looking more beautiful than ever. "Listen Fluttershy, Ah'm sorry I ran off like that. I... It was very rude a me." Big Macintosh said trying to regain his composure. "Why did you run off? Did I do something wrong?" Fluttershy asked thinking of what it could have been that she had done to make the stallion run off like that. Walking towards the tiny mare he confessed his thoughts. "Well when I got ta yer place I was about to knock when I heard you panting and runnin' aroun' then when I knocked I heard y'all say 'Hurry an go out the back!' I guess I was jealous and a little mad. I didn' want ta interrupt y'all and yer stallion friend. Cuz' I know we ain't together an what not, but I... The whole point a tonight was so I could tell y'all the feelins I had towards ya. Fluttershy? I have never felt this way about anypony. You make mah heart soar right outa mah chest. Ah'm hopin' you don' think Ah'm an arrogant pony for runnin' out on y'all like that. If y'all had plans with another pony ya could a told me s-" he was interrupted by a soft kiss on the cheek. "Fluttershy?" "Big Macintosh, I wasn't with another pony, I was panting and looked a mess because of Angel. I gave him stream water and he wanted sparkling. He kicked his water bowl over and ran about the cottage in a mad frenzy! Once I heard you knock I did want you to see the mess or Angel. I'm so sorry if you thought if I was with somepony else tonight. Are you still mad at me?" She asked with a deep concern building in her face. "Fluttershy I ain't mad at you. I'm sorry I jumped ta conclusions about what y'all was doin', can you forgive me? What I said about me havin' feelins for ya is true. I can't stop thinkin' about you. Everythin’ about you is so sweet an angelic an pure. I made a romantic dinner in the barn fer us and I got y'all them flowers. I remember ya mentioned how daffodils were yer favorite flowers. So I stopped by and got some from somepony in town sellin' em. I just hope ya can f-" He was cut off from what he was about to say when Fluttershy pounced on him and nuzzled his neck with her nose. "Big Macintosh! Nopony has ever been this sweet and kind to me! You’re the sweetest pony ever! I'm not mad at you, I never was!" Fluttershy said with excitement and happiness. Noticing he had a great smile on his face but wincing as if in pain, then she remembered the trail of blood. "Are you hurt? What's wrong?" Getting up she analyzed the large stallion for any cuts. "Oh my! Your shoulder! How did that happen?" There was a small yet deep gash on his right shoulder. "Oh I didn' even notice. Ah'll be okay." Big Macintosh said with red steams of rubies drizzling down his right leg into a pool. "F-f-flut..." Big Macintosh fainted. "EEEPP!!! Relax Fluttershy! I know who to get!" So Fluttershy called her woodland friends and helped carry the incapacitated stallion to the barn. "Here is fine. You brought what I needed right? An owl had gone to her cottage and brought back special cleaning liquid to clean wounds (that she got from Zecora) and some bandage. She told Applejack about her brother and she ran to get Nurse Redheart for extra help. "Oh please be okay, Please?" Fluttershy said quietly. "Please wake up. You just have to...I...I really like you. I want to tell you how much, but you just have to wake up." Fluttershy didn't leave his bedside the whole night. Her head rested softly upon his left hoof, her mind drifted into sweet, sweet bliss. Fluttershy awoke to find Big Macintosh gazing at her. Watching the mare peacefully sleep was the cutest thing he's ever seen. She was so adorable and cute. "Good Mornin' Beautiful." He said in the sweetest tone that made you just want to melt. "Thank y'all so much fer savin' me. If it weren't fer you Ah'd never get to see yer beautiful face ever again. And I really like you too." At this point Fluttershy was blushing immensely. "Oh you heard that? I...I'm sorry yo-" She was cut off when he put his hoof around her and nuzzled her cheek gently and placed a small kiss on the blushing red cheeks of hers. "When I get out a here, y'all wanna go on a date with this here farm pony?" Big Macintosh said with the most courage he's had in a long. "Of course I would Big Mackintosh. I'd be honored in fact." Fluttershy said through great excitement. "I can't wait." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: The First Date And The Bet //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: The First Date And The Bet Chapter 3: The First Date And The Bet The night finally came and Big Macintosh had this new found confidence. In a few hours he'd be with the mare of his dreams. Her light yellow fur, her cotton candy pink mane and tail, and her aroma of wild flowers. He made a small picnic down by the pond in the shade of a large weeping willow. Fresh fruits and excellently prepared treats were placed on the cloth. This was there first date and he wanted it to be perfect. She deserves only the best. Now was the time to fetch the awaiting mare. He wanted her to know she is everything to him. He arrived to her cottage and blind folded her. "I want it to be a surprise." he said in his sweet calming voice. "But I'm scared. I can't see." Fluttershy said as her hind legs started to shiver and shake. "Do you trust me?" Big Macintosh asked gingerly. "More than anything bu-" She was cut off by him nuzzling her cheek. "Fluttershy, I promise to take absolute care of you. Ah'd never let anything happen to you." Big Macintosh said as he comforted her and the shaking in her legs stopped. A few minutes later they arrived. "Were here." Princess Celestias sun was beginning to set and the river was a glistening orange and pink. He sat Fluttershy down on the blanket and lit the green candles and the light illuminated her face with an orange glow. The fireflies were out and lighting the sky with small twinkles of light. He took her blindfold off and her eyes lit up. "Y... You did all of this? For me?" Fluttershy asked so surprised. "I wanted it to be special and from the heart, do you like it?" He asked. It took an immense amount of time and hoped his efforts payed off and she liked it. "No. I don't like it" she said it in a monotone voice and with no emotion. "Wh... What?" He felt hurt inside. "What did I do wrong?" "Nothing's wrong. I don't like it. I love it!! Nopony has ever done this for me!" Small tears began to appear in her eyes and trickle down her cheeks. An immense relief swelled up in Big Macintosh and before he knew it tears began to slide down and disappear into the earth below him. "Ah'm so glad you love it, it took so long to prepare it an I did this all for you." Fluttershy gently nuzzled him and gazed up at his beautiful green eyes. The picnic was going great, they ate so much, talked about each others interests and passions, and got to know things about each other that no other pony knew. "Hey let's go swimming." Fluttershy said as she began wading into the pond. "Okay." Big Macintosh followed her into the water and followed her. "Let's make a bet" She said "The best pony to give a massage wins." "Well what do I get if I win?" Big Macintosh asked with curiosity and amusement. "Whatever you want." Fluttershy said. "Yeah? How about a kiss?" Big Macintosh asked. " Now what if you win, I'll give you a kiss too. Sound good?" "Okay. So either way we both win?" "Eeyup." Fluttershy began with hers. She swam behind to the stallions and wrapped her legs around the stallion. She dug her hooves into his back repeatedly. Her massage came to an end when he whinnied in pain. "Im so sorry! That's how I do massages. I'm sorry!" She said feeling so bad for hurting him. "Ah it's uh... It's okay. Ah'm fine. Now let me do you. I mean let me do your massage!" He was feeling emotions and urges for the wet, soft, beautiful pony. He moved her in front of him and started his massage. "Is that too hard?" "N-no that's perfect" She said in complete relaxation and ease. "Well I I think I won this bet" Big Macintosh said in a very cocky tone. "When do I get that kiss?" Fluttershy turned around and thought he meant Kissing him on the cheek but he caught her lips and she felt a gentle shock envelope and spread throughout her body. Then the passionate kiss on the lips lead to their tongues touching and wrapping around. A loss of breath made the two stop. "Ah'm sorry Fluttershy I didn't mean to force you into something you didn't want to. It's just I've always had these feelings about you." Fluttershy has always had feelings for Big Macintosh. She was just afraid to show those feelings. Whenever she was near the stallion he was all she could think about. "Big Macintosh I've always had feelings for you, but you always acted like a friend and never seemed interested in me." "Ah've had feelings for you for the longest time. Every time I see you these feelin's overwhelm me." He said as those same feelings got the best of him and felt his stallion rod unsheathe. Embarrassed he turned around quickly to try and hide it. "Is everything okay?" She asked trying to peer around to see what he was doing. "E-eeyup! Everythin' is fine." He was doomed. If she saw his huge hard on she'd never want to be with him. "Please whatever it is I wo-" She stopped in mid-sentence as she saw what it was he was hiding. "Big Macintosh?" Embarrassed he attempted to shield his privates and face her. "Ah'm so sorry. It's just your so beautiful and I can't control myself. I understand if you don want to talk to me anymore." "Big Macintosh why wouldn't I want to talk to you? I think your the most hansom pony in all of Equestria. I've always had feelings and thoughts about you. I rea-" She was cut off by a deep and passionate kiss that seemed to have lasted hours. He slid his hooves up and down her body and shivered. Was she cold or excited? Then her wings sprung up fully extended and hard. He loved her excitement and kissed deeper and deeper. His hard shaft was rubbing against her and her moans echoing off the big weeping willow tree. Then a shock filled her whole body. He had entered her. He was thrusting in and out of her, little waves were splashing around them. He could tell it was her first time. She was so tight and he tried so hard not to hurt the small mare. He pulled her off as he finished and both put their heads on the edge of the pong and rested. Out of breath and so many emotions swimming around, they stop and look into each others and and share another long passionate kiss. That night when they both went to their own homes Fluttershy was laying on her bed replaying the earlier events. Was this the start of something? A new journey? She's loved Big Macintosh for a very long time and the events earlier left her mind still wondering if it had been dreaming. If it was a dream, she never wanted to wake up.
