Mystery Mare

It was midafternoon at the Sweet Apple Acres, home to the apple family. Big Macintosh has just finished all of his chores for the day and now has some free time for himself. The big red stallion decides to use his free time to head into town and get some things.

As he trots along the dirt path leading to the front entrance of the farm, the red stallion couldn’t help but feel like somepony was watching him. He felt this unknown presence while silently trotting by himself. His ears caught the sound of rustling leaves behind him. However, he dismisses this as he believes that it was just the wind blowing against the leaves so he continued his trot.

If Big Mac had turn his head around he would’ve immediately spot a certain Stetson wearing orange mare following him. Applejack is her name and the younger sister of Big Macintosh.

Applejack stealthy follows behind the big red stallion. She kept her distance from him so that he wouldn’t hear her movement, but also not too far so that she might lose sight of him.

The orange mare followed him to the front entrance of their home. She watches as Big Mac passed through the entrance and was heading straight in the direction of Ponyville.

She waited until he was far enough for her to follow him. Once he passed through the front entrance, the orange mare was soon instantly greeted by her blue winged friend.

“Hey what’s up AJ!” Rainbow loudly greeted her.

So startled by this sudden surprise, Applejack jumped a bit and fell on her back.

“Wow AJ.” Rainbow chuckled. “Did I really surprise you that muc-“Before she could finish that sentence, Applejack immediately hop up from the ground, tackled her blue friend down and covered her mouth with her own hoof.

Applejack turns her head to side, all the while ignoring the muffle sound coming from Rainbow. She was checking to see if her big brother heard her friend. Fortunate for her, Big Mac did not notice as she sees him continuing his trot towards the town.

After making sure it was safe, Applejack remove her hoof from Rainbow’s mouth and stood up.

“AJ, what was that all about?” Rainbow question, sounding annoyed.

“Sorry about that Rainbow, but I had to shut ya up so that Big Mac wouldn’t hear you.”

“Why don’t you want your brother to hear me?”

“Well actually I didn’t want Big Mac to see me following him.” Applejack explained.

“OK so why are you following him?”

“Well Rainbow if you must know, I’m following him because I starting to suspect something about my brother.”

“Oh, like what?” Rainbow inquired.

“I think my brother has a fillyfriend.” Applejack answered.

“Really now?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow. “What make you think that?”

“Well Rainbow, recently my brother has been going out at night a lot and sometimes I can smell the cologne he puts on himself. At first I just had my suspicion, but then just the other night my suspicion was confirmed.” Applejack then gesture her friend to come in closer to her. “Late one night, Big Mac came home with a kiss mark on his cheek.”

“Really huh?” Rainbow said, sounding somewhat surprised. “Do you know who this mystery mare is?”

“Well Rainbow, that is what I am going to find out.” Applejack confidently answered and went off after her brother.

As Applejack trotted the same path her brother took, her blue, rainbow mane friend followed behind her. “So AJ, why don’t you just I don’t know,
simply ask him?” Rainbow pointed out. “Would be much easier then all this sneaking around.”

“Yeah well my brother is not really the talkative type a guy if you haven’t notice.” Applejack answered.

“Tell me about it.” Rainbow commented. “I can never read that stallion.”

The rest of the trip was in silence as both Applejack and Rainbow followed Big Mac into the town of Ponyville.

Despite how small the quaint town of Ponyville was the place was bustling with a lot of activities. Ponies of various colors and sizes roam the opened streets, making sure to visit each of the stores and stalls before the day end.

Big Macintosh cut through the crowd of ponies, making a beeline to one of the stores across. As he made his way to the store, the big red stallion was unaware of the two pairs of prying eyes watching him from afar.

Both mares hid behind an unused stall facing their target. They saw Big Mac entering a flower shop.

“You see, Rainbow.” Applejack pointed with her hoof. “My brother does have a fillyfriend.”

A minute later Big Mac left the store, carrying a big bouquet of different colors. There were roses, violets, daffodils, dahlias, sunflowers and many more colourful flowers.

“Whoa look at the size of the bouquet!” Applejack pointed. “Whoever this mystery mare is, she must be worth a lot if my brother is spending that much bits.”

After he left the store Big Mac trotted off somewhere again. Both mares saw this and left the cover of their stall and return following behind the big red stallion.

Big Mac led the two to a nearby café. There he headed towards one of the table where Caramel sat by himself. Upon seeing the red stallion, Caramel smiled and happily took the bouquet of flowers from him.

From a distance, Applejack was stunned. “Whoa wait is Caramel, Big Mac’s coltfriend?” She asks out loud, surprise at the aspect that her brother is gay.

“No wait hold on, look over there.” Rainbow said and pointed at something.

Applejack looked to where her friend pointed and saw a blue Pegasus mare with yellow hair trotting to the table where Caramel sat. Her name was Sassaflash and when saw the saw the large bouquet of flowers on the table she was quite surprised.

Caramel then hoofed the bouquet to her and she happily accepted them. The amber coated stallion then thank Big Mac to which he nodded and left the two lovers to themselves.

“Huh, guess Big Mac just bought them for his friend.”

“Looks like it.” Rainbow added.

After that, Big Mac trotted off again. The two resume following the big red stallion.
Big Macintosh has now led them to a novelty shop. Once he entered the store, Applejack and Rainbow found a good spot behind some large bushes.

“Now what would my brother want in that store?” Applejack questioned to which Rainbow just shrugged.

A couple of minutes later Big Macintosh exited the front door, carrying a bag. In that bag it was full of Wonderbolt merchandizes. There were posters, t-shirts, figurines and many more hidden within the depth of that bag.

“Huh, never knew Big Mac was a fan of the Wonderbolts.” Applejack said, not noticing the smile on Rainbow’s face upon seeing the items.
Next, Big Mac went further into town when suddenly he bumped into Cheerilee. The magenta color mare spotted the red stallion and stopped to talk to him. As the two exchange words with each other, from a distance both mares observe the two.

“Huh, so Cheerilee is Big Mac’s secret fillyfriend?” Applejack said out loud. Next to her Rainbow eyed the two, but mostly towards Cheerilee.

“So does Cheerilee have a thing for your brother?”

“Well there was that one time they both fell madly in love with each other and almost got married.” Applejack answered. Rainbow then swung her head away from the two and looked at her friend with a surprised look.

“However, they were both under the effects of that love poison my sister and her friends concocted.” Applejack mentioned. “Once they got that stuff out of their system, they went back to normal.” To this, Rainbow eases up a bit.

“But, then after that they did go out together.” Rainbow’s eyes widen upon hearing this. “However, it turns out they only did to tease girls.”

“So does Cheerilee like Big Mac or what?” Rainbow question, demanding an answer.

“No not really.” Applejack answered. “Last time I talked with her, she said that while my brother is indeed quite handsome and nice, she wasn’t really interested in hooking up with him.”

“Oh OK then.” Rainbow said, sounding both satisfied and relieved.

Both mares then return their attention back to the two conversing ponies. After talking for a few minutes, Cheerilee was the first to go and trots pass him. Big Mac then proceeds to go forward, leading the two trailing mares to parts unknown.

They followed the red stallion to the food court area of the market place. There Big Mac went to one of the vendors and ordered something. The vendor then took two plastic cups and filled them up with slushy, one red and the second blue. Once the guy put the straws in, Big Mac gave him the bits and took the two slushies of his counter.

Looking around, Big Mac spotted an empty bench behind a tree and made his way towards it. Sitting on the left side of the bench, Big Mac place the bag full of Wonderbolt items on his left side, while placing the two slushies on his right. The red stallion then proceeds to sit there, doing nothing for the next couple of seconds.

“Now what is my brother doing now?” Applejack said, questioning about her brother’s action.

Unknown to her, Rainbow checked her watch and took notice of the time. “Shoot, AJ, I gotta go.” She said. “I gotta meet somepony.”

“But, you’re going to miss who his secret fillyfriend is.” Applejack warns her friend.

“Pffft, AJ, I already know who his secret fillyfriend is.” Rainbow stated.

Shock by this news, AJ wasn’t able to ask who she was before her friend flew away. Muttering to herself, the orange mare went back to spying on her brother.

For the next couple of seconds, nothing happened. Big Mac continued to sit there, waiting for someone. His secret fillyfriend, she presumed.
Suddenly, flying right into the scene was none other than her friend, Rainbow Dash. She landed right in front of her brother and trotted towards him.

“Rainbow, what are you doing?” Applejack questioned her friend, despite knowing she can’t hear her from here.

She was about say something again, but stopped when she notice her brother’s smiling happily towards Rainbow. Now she knows her brother and she knows that kind of smile isn’t something he gives to anypony. It was a smile he only gives to those he loves like his family or a special somepony.

Applejack’s eyes widen, just now realizing something. “Is Rainbow, my brother’s secret fillyfriend?” She asked nopony in particular.

Her confirmation was then corrected when Big Mac got off his bench and trotted to her friend. The two then kissed each other on the lips and held there for no more than a second. However, despite how quick and short that kiss was, the impact was enough to drop her jaws.

After their kiss both lovers blushed a little while smiling. While the blush was clear on Rainbow’s face, because of his red coat his blush was perfectly camouflaged on his face. Even though they shared a kissed before in the past, the two couldn’t help but feel a little giddy inside.
Remembering the items he bought, Big Mac turns around and grabs the bag of the bench. He then hoofed to Rainbow, who in turn smiles at his gift. He then retrieves the two slushies and offered her which one she wanted.

Rainbow picked the red one, leaving her coltfriend the blue one. As the two drank their slushes and trot off together, the blue mare turn her
head in the direction where Applejack was hiding. She sees her friend with her mouth open and shocked face.

Rainbow then gave her a mischievous smile before turning around and catching up to her coltfriend.
