Love Letter pt. 1

   "All aboard!" the conductor cried.

   Applejack stepped on the train, with Pinkie Pie bouncing behind her.  But before the pink pony could enter, the door shut on her face.  AJ had already stepped inside, and took a seat.  Pinkie then watched as the train hissed and pulled away.

   "Hmmm..." Pinkie muttered suspiciously.

   Pinkie trotted up to the crystal castle on the outskirts of town, and barged through the door.  She walked around for a while, finally arriving at the throne room.  Nopony was there.  She went to the bedroom.  Nopony was there.  She went to the study.  Four ponies were there.  Rarity sat with Spike, who was nestled in her mane.

   "Spike, please.  You're a lot heavier than you used to be." Rarity complained, hoping Spike wasn't ruffling her beautiful mane.

   It was true.  Spike was growing up, but not from greed, like last time.  He was naturally growing.  His 17th birthday was just a week ago, and at that age, a dragon, though still technically a baby (as dragons age slower than ponies), he was above the age of consent.  And that was all he thought about, sex with Rarity.

   Fluttershy was huddled in a corner, crying.  She got up once Pinkie entered and walked to the door.

   "I'm going to the bar." she said.

   "But Fluttershy!  You don't drink!" Rarity cried.

   "I do now." Fluttershy replied, not really sure if she even wanted to drink.

   Rainbow Dash was looking through some mail she received, when her wings suddenly stood on end.

   "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" she cried happily.

   "What is it, Rainbow?" asked Twilight, who for some reason, was applying blush, and perfume.

   "You know that contest I entered last month where you were supposed to write an essay about why the Wonderbolts should accept you as a member?" Rainbow asked.

   "Yeah.  What about it?" Twilight asked.

   "I won!  And the grand prize is having a day out with the Wonderbolt of your choice!" Rainbow yelled.

   "I see.  And you chose Soarin to go out with." Twilight said smugly.

   Rainbow blushed and looked around the room.  "Wha-?  What?  No!" she said, trying not to sound awkward.

   "Uh huh." Twilight said sarcastically.

   Nopony had even noticed Pinkie.  But finally, Rainbow Dash stopped celebrating and saw the pink pony.

   "Oh!  Hey Pinkie Pie." she said.

   "Applejack just left for Apploosa." Pinkie said.

   "What?" Twilight asked, now realizing Pinkie was here.  "Why?"

   "I don't know...but I think she's looking for a b-word." Pinkie said like she knew something that the others didn't.

   "A 'b-word'?" Rainbow asked.

   "A boyfriend!  Hey Twilight!  Why the makeup?" Pinkie asked.

   "Oh!  Uh, no reason." Twilight said trying not to smile.

   Pinkie was wondering what was up with her friends.  They were all acting weird, except Rarity...kind of...considering she was no longer asking Spike to get out of her mane, and hugging him like a teddy bear.  Something was up....

  Back on the train, Applejack looked out at the seemingly endless desert, wondering if 'he' would be in Apploosa.  That one special sompony that would steal AJ's heart.

   "Ma'am, I need to see your ticket." the conductor said.

   Applejack obeyed, knowing Apploosa wasn't far.  When the train finally pulled up to the station, AJ stepped off, and looked around.  It'd been a while since she was here.  The last time she was here was before Twilight even got her wings, and AJ had a hard time finding her way around.  As she walked into the street, she bumped into another pony.

   "Applejack?" a familiar voice said.

   Applejack looked up to see her cousin Braeburn.  He always uncannily showed up whenever he was needed.
