A True Friend Indeed
The Truth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter her freak out, Applejack stares blankly at herself, unable to make the connection as to what caused this to happen. Her breathing was, heavy, and she just couldn't...stop...staring... She knows she has seen many a crazy things in her life time, but waking up as one of her closest friends was by far, the most messed up twist in her life.
"Uh, Rarity, don't you you have work to do besides staring at your hooves? Yes I know their all nice and whiney and need to look their best." She smirks, tossing her head left and right while rolling her eyes. "Just get off whatever piece of dirt is on them and get up! Besides, you owe Applejack an apology, plus you forgot to tell her what you were supposed to tell her yesterday!"
"Tell me what?" Applejack asks the little purple maned unicorn.
"Tell Applejack you love her, for Pete's sake! Might as well forget it with the way you treated her yesterday!" She barks
Wait...Rarity...loves me? And to think I made a mess of the place when I came in. She probably had to clean it up herself and Celestia knows how much she hates to get dirty, and I didn't even care! Some friend I am. But...does she really have feelings for me, like I do for her?
"Sweetie Belle!" Said Applejack, still not used to Rarity's exquisite accent.
"Its about time you said something!"
"I need to go out for a while!" Applejack Jumps out of bed, and as quick as she can, she heads for the front door.
"Rarity, where are you going?! You have to finish your special outfit for Applejack for the Grand Galloping Galla tonight!" Applejack turns to see Sweetie Belle pointing back into the room from the top of the stairs.
She had also forgotten about the Grand Galloping Galla! She assumed it must be some sort of surprise. Her subconscious compells her to go back and have a look at what Rarity has for her, but at the moment, Rarity, herself is more important. Her mare was out there, trapped in her body, and she longed to find her to correct what she'd done wrong.
"The dress is going to have to wait! I have to find Rari...Applejack now!" She shouts back, then gallops out of the door.
I hope I can get home quick. I can only assume she's at Sweet Apple Acres. Please don't let her be mad at me! She thinks to herself as she runs as fast as her legs can carry her, back to Sweet Apple Acres.
Just for good measure, she slows her pace while running through town to see if she's in any of the shops, and stores. Since she's searching for Rarity, she takes several glances around to try and spot the white and purple mare. Her heart and lungs burned, and beg for oxygen, after running for so long.
Her stamina never ran out that quick before, which puzzles her. She forgot to think of the fact she's in another Pony's body with a much lower stamina level.
Passing by Twilights library, she sees what she thinks is a reflection of her self. She stops dead in her tracks, and heads back, peering in the window, clearly seeing herself inside, talking with Twilight. A squees with joy, nothing she's ever done before! Maybe being in Rarity's body influenced it. She rapidly knocks on the door until it's opened, and doesn't realize Twilight standing there as her hoof begins rapping on Twilights face.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, Twilight! I need to see Rarity!"
"But aren't you... And can we do without smashing my face in?"
"Sorry Twi! But I'm actually Applejack in Rarity's body, and I need to see her now!
"So, what Appleja- er...Rarity was telling me, was the truth?"
"Yes!" Applejack barks with a frustrated tone, and procceeds to approach Rarity in her body.
"Applejack, is that you in mah body?" Asked a very stunned and happy Rarity. Applejack nods.
"I'm so sorry about yesterday, Rarity, I should have cleaned myself up, and I was such a rotten Apple towards you! I'm so sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" She pleads, bowing at Rarity's hooves, and hers histerically at the same time.
"Applejack, darling, ah could never stay mad at you. An' don't bow to me, ahm not Princess Celestia! Of course ah can forgive you." She replies with a smile to go along with a soothing tone. Although, she was trying to keep herself from bursting with laughter. She had never seen herself in more worse of a condition, and bowing to herself at the same time. "What ah want ta know is, can you forgive me for being rather rude to you over a little dirt?"
"Of course...darling." Applejack joked with a smile as she resumes standing up right. "And, thanks."
"Likewise." Said Rarity with a tip of Applejack's hat. "Sugarcube."
"So, I hear you have a crush on me...right?" Applejack asked, with a blush, and rubbing the back of her neck.
Rarity was rather shocked she found out, but she as well found out Applejack felt the same way. "Yeah, I...I do. And Applebloom said you have a crush on me as well."
Applejack smiled. "Maybe you'd like to...maybe...-" she was cut off with a hoof covering her mouth.
"Have a date? I'd love to." Rarity smiles and they embrace in a warm hug.
