Love Letter pt. 1

"Huh, fancy meetin' ya here." AJ chuckled.

"Yeah, it seems like we always bump when we meet." Braeburn giggled.  "So, what brings you ta Apploosa?" he asked.

"Uhm... No reason." AJ sputtered nervously.

"Mmhm, I see." Braeburn said, seeing through the cover AJ was trying to maintain.

The two trotted into town, in all it's old-timey Western style.  But what caught Applejack's eye the most was the way the buildings had a gleam, as if their wood was brand new.  They shone in Celestia's sunlight.  AJ's mouth opened and she stared in awe when she saw the way town hall looked.  It wasn't redone, it was completely rebuilt from the ground up.

"Wow!  Just wow, cousin!" Applejack cried.

"So why don't we crash at my house for the night.  It's'a gettin' late." Braeburn suggested.

"Ah why the hell not?" AJ agreed.

That night, the two we're eating a nice dinner...of pasta...

"Braeburn...  This is good, but, why not something apple related for dinner?" Applejack asked.

         "Well ya see, we here in Apploosa planted wheat 'bout a month ago.  We here have been cooking up some damn good treats." Braeburn said.

          Applejack wasn't to keen on Apploosa turning into Wheataloosa.  Not just because of the name sounding bad, but it would ruin the town's history.  She reluctantly ate the pasta as she hadn't had lunch.  That night before bed, AJ went to the saloon.  She took a seat and looked around at the ponies drinking hard cider, and falling off their stools.  She slipped out a notebook from her purse and opened it to a blank page.  She wrote a small passage:

      "Dearest book,

I have been out of luck for some time now.  It seems that the special somepony just ain't around when I am.  Apploosa seems to have changed quite a bit since I was last here.  The only building that doesn't look redone is the muddy old saloon.  It still looks like it's going to topple to the ground.  I just hope-"

      Applejack didn't get to finish her entry because a stallion sat down across from her.  He had a golden coat with a brown mane and tail, and three blue horseshoes for a cutie mark.  It was Caramel.

      "Applejack!  It's nice seeing you here." Caramel said cheerfully.

      "Uhh howdy, sugarcube.  What're you doing here in Apploosa?" AJ asked.

      A bit of a chill ran down Caramel's spine.  He was so close, but he couldn't tell AJ why he had followed her to Apploosa.  He had to think quick.  It was either bottle his excitement, and get closer, or release, and let his favorite mare run away.

      His FAVORITE MARE.
