Chapters AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
We see Canterlot in Luna's night and all of its beauty. With the Stars and Moon shining brightly in the sky. Luna always seems to outdo herself every time.
We see the royal chamber where the princesses sleep, we then go in to see Princess Celestia's door guarded by two of her pony guards. Then we see her inside her bedroom sleeping very comfortably but then her face turns from calm into almost a worried face. As if she was having a nightmare.
We then see what Celestia is dreaming about. She is in a very dark room and she walks around the room to find an exit and get out of this dream. However there was no light in any direction she looked and went. It was almost as if she is trapped in a box and there is no escape her. She was starting to worried and went into a run to find a way out of this dark place and fast. Then after what seemed like forever, she finally saw a light and started to calmly walk towards it. But she then noticed something strange, the light was coming towards her and it was gaining speed.
Celestia got scared and try to run away from it but the light just kept on getting closer. It was almost as if she wasn't running at all. She knew there was no exit but she had to get away from the light. But she got tired from running had to stop, but when she did the light went faster than ever and caught up to her and went straight toward Celestia to attack her.
Celestia: AAAAAHHHHH!
Celestia finally woke from her horrible nightmare and was breathing heavily from what she had just witnessed. In her head she kept asking:
What was that light that kept chasing her? Why was it chasing her? And why was she in that place to begin with? Was her nightmare trying to tell her something, or was is just another normal nightmare?
Just as she might be coming to a conclusion, her sister Princess Luna burst through the door to see her sister. As we see her with a very worried face.
Luna: Sister! Are you alright?
Celestia: Yes my sister, I seem to have had a nightmare.
Luna: Sister, you and I both know that this was not a normal nightmare. It was like vision.
Celestia get's up out of bed and goes to the window of her room with her sister.
Celestia: I was afraid you would say that. However this was no normal vision either.
Luna: What do you mean?
Celestia: The nightmare was more like a message. About something that might happen in the future and that Equestria could possibly be in danger. From the light that we saw.
Luna: What do you wish to do my sister?
Celestia: We must tell Twilight straight away, and tell her and her friends to prepare for anything.
Luna: I am sorry to say sister but we cannot do that. We have three different towns too since their delegates are all having a disagreement with each other.
Celestia: Yes I know, but this could mean the fate of Equestria. We should risk anything Luna.
Luna: We still don't know if this is a message.
Celestia looks at her sister with a confused look.
Luna: Maybe we should wait until the day after tomorrow, what if this is only a onetime thing and your next dream will be a normal one.
Celestia looks down in disappointed.
Celestia: (Sighs) You're right Luna, perhaps we should wait and see if I have the nightmare again. If I do then I will go and tell Twilight myself. If not then we will not be so worried, but we will not rule out the possibility.
Luna: I agree sister. But for now it is time for you to raise the sun.
Celestia left her bedroom to go and raise the sun. Although the questions were still in the back of her mind, she knew Luna was right and that she should wait.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
Celestia's sun have finally risen as the Ponies in Ponyville are all out and about in the main part of town. But the ponies were going to be a bit surprised.
A new pony has just entered into the town. This pony has never been seen before in Ponyville. The pony was a male with an orange coat. Like
Applejack's but slightly darker, he also has a short blonde mane and an equally short blonde tail. The pony looks very tired and looks very hungry and dehydrated.
The new pony stops to look at the scenery and takes a deep breath, taking in the new surrounding atmosphere.
AppleJackal: So this is Ponyville huh? A bit bigger than I thought.
The new pony walks through the town square and goes up to one of the locals.
AppleJackal: Excuse me miss, do you know where a pony called Applejack lives, or where I can find her.
The pony tells him the directions to Sweet Apple Acres.
AppleJackal: Thank you very much.
As the pony starts walking again, Twilight and Spike are walking through the town square as well.
Twilight: Okay Spike once more.
Spike: (Sighs) But we've checked the list like ten time Twilight. I think we know by now what we need.
Twilight. It doesn't hurt to be efficient Spike.
Spike: (Mumbling to himself) You're not the one writing the list.
Twilight: Okay so first item on the-
As Twilight was about to ask Spike what the first item on her list is, she spots the new pony and notices that his walk is a little groggy and how tired he looks.
Spike: What's wrong Twilight?
Twilight: That pony, I've never seen him before. But he doesn't look too good.
Spike: He does look a little tire.
Twilight: Hmmm.
Twilight decides to go over to the pony and ask him
Twilight: Excuse me sir.
AppleJackal: Huh? Oh hello there, how may I help you?
Twilight: Sorry to be a bother but I noticed that while you were walking you looked a bit groggy and very tired. Are you okay, do you need any help?
AppleJackal: Thank you for being concerned and for wanting to help, but I'm fine. I just need to reach my destination and I should be fine from there.
Twilight: Are you sure?
AppleJackal: Positive.
Twilight nods and walks away but still looks concerned and worried about the pony. She goes back over to Spike who has a questioned face.
Spike: So what did he say?
Just as Twilight was about to speak, her and Spike here a Thud! As if something hit the floor and as Twilight turned around she saw the new pony collapsed on the floor. She quickly runs over and checks on the pony.
Spike: What happened, is he okay?
Twilight: Not sure, we have to get him to our house quickly. I'll take him back to the treehouse, Spike you gather up the girls and tell them all to come to the house as soon as they can.
Spike: Got it.
Twilight puts the new pony on to her back and quickly runs to the tree house as Spike goes to fine the other 5. Luckily for him Rainbow Dash was flying above him and he could ask for her help to gather the other ponies.
Spike: (Yelling) Hey Rainbow Dash!
Rainbow looks down and sees Spike and flies down to him.
Rainbow Dash: Hey Spike, how's it going. Why do you look all worried? Did something happen.
Spike: Twilight and I found this new pony that came into Ponyville and asked if he's okay, and then he collapsed on the floor and now Twilight is taking him to the treehouse and needs all of you to meet her there.
Rainbow Dash: Say no more Spike. Hop on.
Spike gets on Rainbow Dash's back as she flies fast towards Sweet Apple Acres to get Applejack since she was the furthest away from Twilight.
As they reach to their destination they spot Applejack and fly down straight to her.
Rainbow Dash: Applejack!
Applejack: Well howdy Rainbow, I didn't expect you to be here. What's up?
Rainbow Dash: No time to explain, Twilight said she needs us all to meet her at the treehouse. Something terrible happened.
Applejack: Say no more Rainbow, I'll meet you there. You get the others.
The two nod at each other and Applejack makes her way to Twilight's house as fast as she can. Rainbow Dash then goes to Fluttershy next. She knocks on her door and Fluttershy answers.
Fluttershy: Oh hello Rainbow-
Rainbow Dash: No time for hello's Fluttershy, you need to get to Twilight's house now!
Fluttershy: (Scared) Oh okay, um why what happened?
Rainbow Dash: No time to explain, she will tell us when we are all there.
Fluttershy: Um okay I'll make my way there.
Fluttershy makes her way to Twilight's house and Rainbow Dash decides to go to Rarity's next. She gets to Carrousel Boutique and sees Rarity about to go in.
Rainbow Dash: Rarity, wait!
Rarity: Hmm? Oh hello Rainbow darling, how may I help you?
Rainbow Dash: Can't explain right now. Twilight needs us to go to her house, it's an emergency.
Rarity: I see. I will see you two there soon, I will go there now.
They both nod and Rainbow goes to her last stop, Pinkie Pie. She gets to Sugar cube corner, and sees Pinkie baking in the kitchen.
Rainbow Dash: Pinkie!
Pinkie: Why hello Dashie, what are you doing here. You don't usually come into the kitchen.
Rainbow Dash: No time to explain. Twilight needs us to go to her house right now. Something bad has happened!
Pinkie: Oh no that's terrible, I should make a get well cake then.
Rainbow Dash: and Spike: Pinkie!
Pinkie: Okay, I'm going.
Spike: Let's hurry, I hope Twilight can help that pony.
Twilight has reached her house and takes the new pony upstairs to her bedroom and puts him on her bed and starts treating him. Hoping she can help him.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
The Start of the Feelings
Outside of Twilight's house the other ponies have met up and are waiting for Rainbow and Pinkie, as they are arriving.
Rainbow Dash: Hey we got here as fast as me could. I see everypony else is her as well.
Applejack: Yeah we all got here as soon as you told you.
Rarity: We didn't have to wait for too long for each other as well.
Fluttershy: So what is it that Twilight wants up for?
Rainbow Dash: I think she should ask her that, she'll be able to answer better than I could. Spike will you let us in.
Spike: Of course.
Spike opens the door and they all enter the house looking around for Twilight.
Pinkie: Twilight! Where are you?
Twilight hears Pinkie's yell just as she is about to finish treating the new pony. As soon as she did she went downstairs to see the others.
Twilight: Ah good, you're all here just in time.
Rainbow Dash: So what's going on Twilight, Spike told me you were helping out a new pony.
Twilight. Yes, while Spike and I were out shopping we came across a Pony who looked very unwell and said he was fine. But once he collapsed I had to do something to help. So I brought him back here so that I can treat him.
Fluttershy: So will he be okay?
Twilight: Yes he will, he will be able to recover without any problems. Thought if he continued for longer, it would of been harder to help.
Rarity: What was the reason for him collapsing.
Rainbow Dash: You said he looked unwell.
Twilight. Yes he was apparently really hungry and dehydrated. He hadn't eaten for around 6 days and no water for 3 days. He also looked like he had no sleep.
Applejack: Hmm it's almost like he walked all the way her from wherever his journey started.
Twilight: Exactly.
Rainbow Dash: That's crazy, why did he not get the train?
Pinkie: Maybe he just didn't have the money.
Twilight: More importantly, why did he come to Ponyville? He must have a reason.
As they all think of different reasons why, Rarity breaks the silence
Rarity: So what does this pony look like?
Pinkie: And what about his Cutie Mark?
Twilight: Well he had an Orange coat with a short blonde mane and tail. Kind of like your coat Applejack but darker. As for his Cutie I didn't get a good chance to see it.
Fluttershy: Well as long as long as he's okay. How long will he be asleep for?
Twilight: From my calculations around 3-4 hours.
Rainbow Dash: (Whining) Awww. Why so long?
Applejack: Rainbow! We'll stay with you Twi just in case you might need help.
Twilight: Thank you Applejack.
After around an hour of waiting and thinking of reasons why this new pony would be here, he woke up.
AppleJackal: (Moans in pain) Where am I?
Pinkie: Hey he's awake, I just heard him!
Applejack: What should we do?
Twilight: I'll go up and tell him what happened and then we can all introduce our selves to him.
Twilight goes upstairs to her room and sees the pony still on her bed but awake. As the pony looks up and see Twilight.
AppleJackal: Huh? Hey I remember you. you were the pony who ask me if I was okay.
Twilight: Yes I was. My name is Twilight Sparkle and you really weren't. I took you back to my house, which is where we are now currently and treated you.
AppleJackal: Haha yeah, I guess I wasn't okay. Thank you very much Twilight for curing me. Hope I wasn't too much of a bother for you.
Twilight: Not all in fact-
Rainbow Dash: (Yelling) Hey Twilight! What's going on up there?
Twilight: Sorry about that, my friends are downstairs. They came as well to help me in case something happened to you.
AppleJackal: Hmm. I guess I'll go down there and thank them, as well introduce myself.
Twilight: Great idea.
Both Twilight and the pony went downstairs with Twilight leading the way. Twilight was the first one downstairs and then the new pony followed suit. Pinkie was taken back by the look of the pony.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) (Infatuated) Oh wow. He is really handsome.
As the ponies look at the pony Applejack was the most surprised and walked up to the new pony.
Rarity: Applejack, what's wrong?
The pony smiled at her as she was now face to face with him.
Applejack: I-is it really you?
AppleJackal: You can check if you're dreaming if you don't think this is real.
Applejack was stunned but then in a split second, she hugged the pony and he hugged her back. With Applejack crying with happiness.
Rainbow Dash: Umm... Applejack, mind telling us how you know this pony.
Applejack: Huh? Oh right, girls this is my twin cousin.
Fluttershy: Twin cousin?
AppleJackal: Hi my name is AppleJackal.
Rainbow Dash: I'm Rainbow Dash.
Rarity: My name is Rarity darling.
Fluttershy: (Shy and quiet) Umm my name is Fluttershy
Pinkie: And I'm Pinkie Pie.
AppleJackal: Nice to meet you all. And we are called twin cousins is cause we were both born at the same time, on the same day, on the same
month. We've always been very close with each other.
Applejack: We sure was, we always played together as fillies.
Twilight: What happened? Did you not play together when you got older.
AppleJackal: Unfortunately my parents got new jobs in Manehattan and we had to move when we were around 3. And cause of how far we
were, we could never meet up. See I lived on the edge of Manehattan, so that's why I don't have the same accent as Applejack or the same as the locals in Manehattan .
Applejack: It was 15 years ago since we last saw each other.
Twilight: Wow that's quite the story.
Rainbow Dash: So why are you here in Ponyville then?
AppleJackal: Well I hated living in Manehattan so I wanted to live other family members. And it just so happened to see Applejack in Manehattan when you visited Uncle and Aunt orange that one time. So I asked them where you lived and when I found out, I had my mind set on coming here to Ponyville.
Twilight: I see, well I promise you that you will enjoy living here in Ponyville. I hope it will be better than Manehattan,
AppleJackal: I think it will, Manehattan isn't exactly the 'Mane' attraction anymore for me.
All of the ponies laugh, especially Pinkie who almost couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. The ponies think this is a bit strange but AppleJackal just smiled while looking at the Pink pony. pinkie then finally stops laughing.
Applejack: Sorry about that AppleJackal, that's Pinkie Pie for ya.
AppleJackal: Haha it's fine, really. That's really my goal at the end of the day. As long as I've made a pony smile, happy or laugh by the end of the day, then that's good enough for me.
All the ponies smile at AppleJackal but Pinkie was once again taken back by what he said. She couldn't believe it.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) H-he has the same goal as me. He is like me and wants to keep everypony smiling, as well as being funny and having a great personality and nice. Why is my heart beating so fast and why am I blushing, what is this I'm feeling? Could it be because of him?
Rainbow Dash: Hey, he kinda sounds like you doesn't he Pinkie.
Pinkie: Huh? Oh, yeah he sure does. He must if caught Pinkie fever already.
They all laugh once again, but this time after AppleJackal stops laughing her looks at Pinkie.
AppleJackal: (Thoughts) This pony is super funny, not to mention cute, pretty and can make me smile with her amazing personality. My heart, it's beating faster than ever. Do I love Pinkie Pie, I've only just met her though, guess I'll have to find out for sure.
After they all laugh and get back their composure. Applejack turns to AppleJackal.
Applejack: So cousin, where are you staying in Ponyville.
AppleJackal: Well... I haven't exactly thought about it. I was gonna wait until I saw you and ask for your help to find one.
Applejack: Nope. Cause you'll be staying with me at the farm.
AppleJackal: Are you sure that's no problem?
Applejack: Of course not, we have plenty of space.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, sometimes when we help her with her work we stay in the spare rooms she has.
AppleJackal: Okay then Applejack. I will accept your invitation and stay at the farm with you.
Applejack: Great, can't wait for you and the rest of the family to meet each other.
They all leave Twilight's house and make their way to Sweet Apple Acres. With both AppleJackal and Pinkie thinking about the possible feelings they have for each other.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
After leaving Twilight's house they have already made it half way towards Sweet Apple Acres. During this time, Twilight has been showing AppleJackal what he can do in town. She tells him about Sugar Cube Corner, Carousel Boutique, restaurants and the town square as well. After she does, AppleJackal slows down a bit and starts to talk to Pinkie Pie.
AppleJackal: So Pinkie, you work at Sugar Cube Corner right?
Pinkie: Yep, and I always like to bake cakes in my spare time when I'm not working.
AppleJackal: Wow, that must be hard work.
Pinkie: Nah, it's really easy when you know what to do and what cake you want make.
AppleJackal: Haha, that was a nice rhyme. I'm definitely going to come to you if I want some cake.
Pinkie: Thanks and really?
AppleJackal: Of course. Cake is my favourite kind of food, besides cupcakes and other types of sweets.
Pinkie: (Gasps) Me too.
Pinkie then realises she can find out if her and AppleJackal have a lot in common and if her feelings for him are real.
Pinkie: Hey how about we play a game.
AppleJackal: What kind of game?
Pinkie: I ask you a question, then you give your answer, then you ask me a question, I tell you my answer and it continues like that. What do you say?
AppleJackal: Hmm, yeah that sounds fun and it will be a good way to learn about each other. (Thoughts) That and it will tell me if these feelings I have are real.
Pinkie: Okay ready?
AppleJackal: Yep.
Pinkie: (Big deep breath) What's your favourite type of cake?
AppleJackal: Chocolate, what's yours?
Pinkie: Chocolate, what are your favourite colours?
AppleJackal: Blue and Red, what are yours?
Pinkie: Red and Blue, what's your favourite fruit?
AppleJackal: Apples, what is your favourite fruit and vegetable?
Pinkie: Apples and carrots, what is your favourite vegetable?
AppleJackal: Carrots, what is the most important thing to you?
Pinkie: Friends, family and making everypony smile. What is most important to you?
AppleJackal: Friends, family and making everypony smile and happy.
Both of them look at each other intensely but then stop and laugh at each other after asking so many questions. Both realising how funny the situation is, after laughing both AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie look at each other with loving eyes. Both thinking that these feeling they have are real. But while they were thinking this, Rainbow Dash gets between them and starts talking to AppleJackal while Rarity and Twilight go to
Pinkie and smile at her.
Pinkie: What? WHAT?
The group are almost at the farm, and they are all silent until Rainbow Dash breaks it to ask a question that she remembered Pinkie Pie asking while they were a Twilight's house.
Rainbow Dash: Hey AppleJackal, what does your Cutie mark mean and how did you get it?
All of the girls looked at AppleJackal with interests, since they all want to know.
AppleJackal: Good question, I should of told you all earlier but I forgot.
Twilight: Well first of all, what does it mean?
AppleJackal: Well although it looks like a smiling Apple, the reason for it is because my I am able to adapt to almost any situation or job that I am given. The smile means that I am happy with doing anything because of how I can adapt to doing most jobs.
All of the girls: Wow.
AppleJackal: That and I like to make a joke or two and have everypony smile.
The ponies giggle for a bit before asking him their next question.
Fluttershy: So how did you get your Cutie Mark.
AppleJackal: It was weird really.
Rarity: Weird how exactly?
AppleJackal: Well I was just going to the town square of Manehattan to get a few things, then out of nowhere, Boom, a giant Rainbow blast happened and everypony was memorised by it, then because of it everypony was having trouble with their jobs, whether it was something broke, or late or needed to be finished. So because of this I decided to help everypony with their problems and after I helped out the last pony, I see my flank glow and there came my Cutie mark.
All of the ponies were very interested in the story and couldn't believe what they just heard.
Twilight: So what you're saying is, Rainbow Dash helped you get your Cutie mark as well?
AppleJackal: Wait it was Rainbow Dash that created that Rainbow blast?
Rainbow Dash: Well it was actually a Sonic Rainboom but yeah that was me.
AppleJackal: Well I don't know what to say but, thank you Dash for helping me find out what my special talent is.
Pinkie: Yeah it's quite the coincidence cause if it weren't for Rainbow Dash, none of us would of got our Cutie marks either.
AppleJack: I guess we owe a lot to you Rainbow.
Rainbow Dash: Nah, you don't have to. I'm just happy I was able to help everypony.
As Rainbow Dash said that, the group had reached their destination of Sweet Apple Aces and had stopped in front if the farm.
Twilight: Well I guess this is goodbye for now AppleJackal. Will we see you tomorrow?
AppleJackal: Of course I'll make sure to visit you all and know what you all do for a living and what you do in your spare time. Though I am going to be honest, I thought there was gonna be a welcoming party or something, since I heard Ponyville were amazing at doing that for new ponies.
Pinkie Pie's face then went from happy to really surprised
Pinkie: Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to set up anything, that's not like me to too. Don't you worry I am going to redeem myself and throe you a party right now.
As Pinkie was about to leave Applejack stops her by pulling her back.
Applejack: Sorry sugarcube, but there isn't any time for a party now.
Rarity: I hate to say this Pinkie darling, but it is getting late into the day and some ponies will be going to sleep soon.
Pinkie then looked down disappointed and not like her.
AppleJackal: It's okay Pinkie, you really don't have to go through the trouble of throwing a party.
Pinkie: But that 's the best way for me to make everypony smile. Cause my goal is to make sure that everypony smile, laughing and happy by the end of the day.
AppleJackal was taken back by this and his heart started to beat faster than it ever has before. He now knew that was in love with Pinkie Pie.
AppleJackal: Wow Pinkie, that's amazing and really thoughtful. I wish my parties wereas good as yours do.
Fluttershy: You've thrown parties?
AppleJackal: Only a few for my family and friends in Manehattan, but they will never be as amazing as Pinkie's parties. They sound like the best parties in Equestria.
This time Pinkie was taken back just like when AppleJackal said he had a similar goal as Pinkie earlier. And Pinkie now knew her feeling were real and that she was in love AppleJackal but was a bit confused of what these feeling for AppleJackal are. Then Pinkie came up with an idea where she can still throw a party.
Pinkie: I got it, how about we throw AppleJackal a 'Welcome to Ponyville' slumber party.
Twilight: A slumber party?
Pinkie: Yeah, we can still party but keep it quiet for other ponies.
Applejack: I like that idea, what about you AppleJackal. What do you think?
Twilight: It is your party after all.
AppleJackal: Hmm. Yeah I love the idea, let's do it.
Pinkie: Great, but where should we have it?
Twilight: Why not my house, I've got plenty of room and I I've further from Ponyville than you girls do, plus I can always have Spike sleep over somepony else's house.
Pinkie: Then it's settled 9 o'clock at Twilight's.
Rainbow Dash: Great, well we all better get ready.
Everypony leaves to go home and prepare for the party, as Pinkie becomes the last one to leave.
Pinkie: (A bit nervous) See ya at the party AppleJackal. I hope you have fun.
AppleJackal: If are throwing the party, I bet I will. I'll see you there.
Pinkie then bounces off to go home to get everything she needs.
Applejack: Well we've got plenty of time until the party starts, I'll introduce you to the family and show you where you'll be staying.
So Applejack introduces AppleJackal to Apple Bloom, Big Mac and Granny smith and they all seem really excited t him living with them and helping them around the farm. Applejack then takes AppleJackal to where he will be sleeping and leaves him to unpack his things and get settled in.
While AppleJackal unpacks he starts to think about Pinkie and lists off all the reasons why he loves her, so that he is sure he does. But it didn't take long for him to once again confirm that he was in love with the beautiful Pink pony.
Pinkie is also getting things ready to create the party but while she does, she starts to think about AppleJackal. And know that she has strong feelings for him but isn't too sure what to call it.
Pinkie: I should ask Twilight and the girls what these feelings I'm having. I hope it's something good. Cause these feelings feel good to me.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
Applejack and AppleJackal have got what they need for the party. As well having their sleeping bags with them, Applejack is bringing some Apples to make some Apple pie, Apple fritters and Apple cider. They both say goodbye to the family and make their way to Twilight's
At Twilight's house, Twilight is checking her list over and over again to make sure she has everything ready and that everything will go perfectly.
Twilight: (To herself) It's okay Twilight, Pinkie Pie set this all up and her parties are always great. But what if something goes wrong, like a balloon pops or the cake isn't the right flavour or—
Pinkie: Twilight, you should learn how to turn off your stressfulness your house is the perfect place for a slumber party. Plus I also make sure to double check that everything is perfect. Though I guess I am a little nervous.
Twilight stops panicking and looks at Pinkie with a confused look.
Twilight: Huh? Why are you nervous Pinkie, you're the one who set this up.
Pinkie: (Nervous) I just want AppleJackal to really like my parties. Speaking of which, Twilight I have to ask you something.
Just as Pinkie was going to ask Twilight about her feelings, there was a know on the door and Twilight went back to panicking.
Twilight: Ah! They're here.
Twilight rushes to the door and before she opens it she takes a deep breath and composes herself. Then she opens the door and sees Applejack and AppleJackal at the door.
Twilight: Ah, you're here. Come on in you two.
Applejack: Thank you Twilight.
They both take a look around the house and are stunned by the amount of work that was put into this. Pinkie goes over to AppleJackal.
Pinkie: So AppleJackal, what do you think?
AppleJackal: I-It's amazing, the place look fantastic. You must of put a lot of work into this, and for me as well. You are truly amazing Pinkie.
Pinkie: (Blushes) Aww thank you, it was nothing really. I always like to see you and other ponies smile. You have a really nice smile.
AppleJackal: (Blushes) Th-thank you. You're smile is really nice smile too.
As the two blush in front of each other, and complimenting each other both Twilight and Applejack see this happening and turn to each other and smile at the situation, since that they now know that both AppleJackal and Pinkie really like each other.
But the blushing didn't last much longer as there was another know on the door with Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Rarity on the other side.
They have all entered are also amazed by the amount of work Pinkie put into the party.
Pinkie: Well I think I can now happily announce this Party to be started.
So it does, with the ponies doing all sorts of things, like dancing, eating, drinking, talking and playing party games. Everypony was having an amazing time.
AppleJackal: This party is amazing, thank you again Pinkie. I can express how much this means to me and how happy I am.
Pinkie: It was nothing, anything for a friend like you.
They both blush at each other again, and the other 5 see this and smile at each other now that they all now know about the feelings that AppleJackal and Pinkie have.
As the party games come to an end as well as the dancing, the ponies lay out their sleeping bags and sit in a circle.
Twilight: I've got an idea how about we play truth or dare? Who will go first.
Pinkie: Ooh, ooh. Me I'll go first.
Rainbow Dash: Okay Pinkie, truth or dare?
Pinkie: Hmmm... Truth.
Rainbow Dash: Okay, is it true that you have feelings for a pony in this town.
Pinkie blushed and quickly looked at AppleJackal before answering.
Pinkie: Y-yes, I do.
Twilight: Okay, who's next.
AppleJackal: I guess I'll go next if nopony else want to.
Applejack: Okay cousin, truth or dare?
AppleJackal: I'll say, truth.
Applejack: Is it true that you have feelings for pony in this town.
AppleJackal this time blushed and quickly looked at Pinkie before looking at the others and answering.
AppleJackal: Even though I may not know everypony well, yes I do.
Fluttershy: Uh oh, I just realised. I was baking a cake and it should be ready right now.
Pinkie: It's okay Fluttershy, I'll go get it.
AppleJackal: No Pinkie I'll get it. You've done enough for me today. It's time I returned the favour, as a thank you for throwing me this amazing party.
Pinkie Okay, just be careful when cutting it.
AppleJackal: I will.
AppleJackal goes to the kitchen and Pinkie watches him go. As soon as she turns back to see the girls looking at her with smiles.
Pinkie: Why are you looking at me like that?
Rarity: Soo, who is it you have feelings for then Pinkie.
Pinkie became a bit nervous, she wants to tell her friends but isn't too sure if she should now
Pinkie: Well I umm.. you see...
The girls stop her before she answers.
Twilight: Pinkie, I think it's obvious who you have feelings for.
Pinkie: (Sighs) Is it really obvious?
Rainbow Dash: It's more obvious than a Sonic Rainboom.
Pinkie: Yeah I guess you're right. But that's what I wanted to ask you all actually. I'm not what these feelings I have are from AppleJackal. I
mean every time I see him, I start blushing, I smile more than usual, I get nervous and go all girly and just see him makes me really happy. I was wondering if you know what this means.
The girls start to giggle.
Pinkie: Is it bad?
Twilight: Not at all Pinkie, it just means that you're in love with him.
Pinkie: In love with him? You're right, I should of realised this. But I guess I never knew what love felt like.
Applejack: Nopony ever does sugarcube, but when you are in love, you'll know.
Pinkie: Yeah you're right. I'm in love with AppleJackal!
Rainbow Dash: But we only met him though, doesn't that seem a bit quick to already fall in love with him.
Fluttershy: Well I think it's great, it's like love at first site and knowing that the pony you fell in love with is the pony of your dreams. I'm really happy for you Pinkie.
Rarity: We're all happy for you darling.
Pinkie: Thank you girls, you're the best. But don't tell AppleJackal. I don't want him to know, I mean what if he doesn't feel the same way?
Twilight: Sure Pinkie we swear not to tell AppleJackal.
Pinkie: Pinkie Pie swear?
All except Pinkie: Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.
As they all finish 'Pinkie Pie swear' AppleJackal comes into with a slice of cake for everypony and passed them around as well as some apple cider.
After eating their cake, and a few more rounds of Truth or dare, Pinkie Pie thought of an idea and do something special for AppleJackal.
Pinkie: Hey I just had a thought, how about I make my famous Pinkie Pie cupcakes for you AppleJackal. As a sort of final welcome to Ponyville cake.
AppleJackal: Um okay sure, but won't that take long.
Pinkie: Not at all, cause while everypony was playing games and dancing I was making them and all I have to do is put them in the oven and put a little bit extra on top.
AppleJackal: If you say so , then yes I would love to try you famous cupcakes. I bet they're as amazing as you are making them sound.
Pinkie: Anything to make you happy.
This tine Pinkie goes to the kitchen as AppleJackal watches her go. Then when he turns to the girls they all are looking at him with smiles.
AppleJackal: Why are you smiling at me like that?
Applejack: So who is you have feelings for then cousin?
AppleJackal became nervous and didn't know what to say to them.
AppleJackal: Well, I... I...
But before he could answer, the girls tell him that they already know.
Twilight: It's okay AppleJackal, we already know.
AppleJackal: You do? It was that obvious huh?
Fluttershy: Yeah, it was. No offence.
AppleJackal: It's okay it can't be helped.
Twilight: So why Pinkie Pie?
Well what's not to love about her, she's funny, pretty, makes me smile and has a great personality. Not to mention we have the same goal of keeping everypony happy.
All but AppleJackal: Awww.
Applejack: We understand, I guess that love at first sight thing really does happen.
AppleJackal: Yeah. But you can't tell Pinkie. I'm not sure if she feels the same way. So promise not to tell her.
All but AppleJackal: We promise.
AppleJackal: Thank you.
Pinkie then comes up with a tray of her famous Pinkie Pie cupcakes, everypony takes one each and start eating them. AppleJackal is the most surprised one.
AppleJackal: Pinkie, these are amazing. So many flavours put into one cupcake. This is the best cupcake I have ever tasted. Thank you so much Pinkie.
Pinkie: (Blushing) You're welcome, I'm just glad you like it. I made it especially for you. I'm glad it makes you happy.
AppleJackal: (Blushing) I feel honoured that you made something amazing for me. You make me happy Pinkie, not just the cupcake.
The two blush at each other again as everypony finishes their cupcake and their game of truth or dare.
Fluttershy: (Yawns) I don't know about you girls, but I'm getting very sleepy.
Applejack: Yeah I feel like hitting the hay too.
Twilight: It is late, let's all go to sleep.
They all get into their sleeping bags and all say goodnight to each other.
Applejack: Goodnight.
Twilight: Goodnight.
Rainbow Dash: Goodnight.
Fluttershy: Goodnight.
Rarity: Goodnight.
Pinkie: Goodnight.
AppleJackal: Goodnight.
Pinkie: (Quietly) Good night AppleJackal. Sweet dreams.
AppleJackal: Goodnight Pinkie. Sweet dreams to you too.
They both smile at each other, and fall asleep.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
It is once again morning in Ponyville as Twilight and the other start to each wake up.
Twilight: Good morning Everypony.
Applejack: Morning.
Rainbow Dash: So what are we having for breakfast.
Twilight: Hmm, I haven't really thought about it.
Pinkie: I know, I'll make us some pancakes.
AppleJackal: Great idea Pinkie, I'll help you.
Twilight. I'll help out as well.
So as the other ponies wait and Rarity and Fluttershy brush their manes, AppleJackal, Pinkie and Twilight make the pancakes in a very quick amount of time. And before they knew it, they had finished.
Pinkie: Wow, that's has to be some sort of new record of that amount of pancakes created in such a short amount of time.
AppleJackal: Well three ponies are better than just one making them on their own.
Pinkie: That's true.
Twilight: Come on you two, let's start serving the pancakes before they get cold.
AppleJackal and Pinkie: Oh right, sorry!
AppleJackal and Pinkie look at each other and start laughing. And then give everypony their pancakes. The ponies start eating.
Rainbow Dash: Great job on the pancakes guys, they're delicious.
Pinkie: Thanks.
Twilight: So AppleJackal, what kind of job will you be getting now that you're living here in Ponyville.
AppleJackal: Well I was think of doing a lot if jobs.
Pinkie: What do you mean by that?
AppleJackal: Well my main job will be at the farm helping Applejack buck apples and other things. But on the days when I'm not working at the farm, I'll work for other ponies if they need my help.
Fluttershy: Oh, because of your Cutie mark right.
AppleJackal: Yep, exactly.
Applejack: Well today we don't have any work on the farm, but starting from tomorrow, we will be working very hard. Because cider season will be coming up soon.
AppleJackal: I'm ready to work hard.
Applejack: I wouldn't expect anything less from my twin cousin.
As the ponies finish their breakfast Spike rushes through the door and goes straight to Twilight.
Spike: Twilight!
Twilight: Hey Spike, how was it at—
Spike: No time, I got a scroll from Celestia that she will be coming here to speak to all of you, and she says it's something really important.
Twilight: What!?
Twilight starts to get worried and scared.
Twilight: (Panicking) Oh dear, oh dear. I wonder what's so important that she needs to speak to all of us about.
Applejack: Okay Twilight, calm down. Come on, deep breath in and out.
Twilight does what Applejack says and is once again calm and back to normal.
Twilight: Thank you Applejack. Let's all sit down and think about what she might want to talk about, that has her so concerned.
Pinkie: This must be exciting for you AppleJackal, this will be the first time you've seen the Princess up close.
AppleJackal: Yeah, I guess it will be.
The group all gather round sit down to think of reasons of what kind of emergency the princess would need to tell them. But before any of them could think of anything Celestia come enters Twilight's home. And everypony pony bows.
Twilight: Princess Celestia, it's great seeing you again.
Celestia: It's great to see you too Twilight.
Celestia then notices AppleJackal bowing approaches him.
Celestia: Why hello there, I don't believe I have met you.
AppleJackal: Haha probably not. My name is AppleJackal, I'm Applejack's twin cousin and I had just moved into Ponyville yesterday. It's a pleasure meeting you Princess Celestia.
Celestia: I see. It's very nice to meet you too AppleJackal.
Twilight: So what is it you wanted to tell us Princess.
Celestia: Ah yes. You see, for the past two nights I have been having this nightmare.
Rainbow Dash: What happens in the nightmare?
Celestia: We I start off in a dark room with no exits and then a light start chasing me until I have no stamina left to run trying to find an exit. But then before I wake up, the light goes to attack me. But luckily I wake up before it does.
Twilight: I see.
Celestia: Both Luna and I have agreed that this is no ordinary dream, but maybe a vision or a message.
AppleJackal: What kind of message?
Celestia: That something will happen, and that Equestria could be at stake.
Twilight: What would you like us to do Princess?
Celestia: I want you all to look out for anything that might seem out of the ordinary or could be a danger to Equestria.
Twilight: Princess, you can count on us.
Celestia: Thank you all. For now please do live your lives normally, but when the time arrives I will want you all to take action.
They all nod.
Celestia: Thank you, I will hope to see you all again.
Rarity: So what do we do now?
Twilight: Like the princess said, we continue everything as normal. But if something comes up, we will have to take action.
Everypony nods. After a while everypony starts to leave Twilight's house and are about to make their way home.
Twilight: Okay, goodbye everypony. Remember, if you say anything, come to me and we will see what we can do.
Twilight closes her door and everypony goes their separate ways.
Pinkie: (Nervous) Um AppleJackal, can I walk with you and Applejack. Since Sugar Cube Corner is in the same direction as Sweet Apple Acres.
AppleJackal: Of course, we'd love to have your company.
Pinkie, AppleJackal and Applejack start making their way to Sugar Cube Corner and talk while walking there. After a few minutes, they reach Pinkie's home.
Pinkie: We I guess this is where we go our separate ways for now.
AppleJackal: Yeah, but I'll definitely come visit you when I have the time. And thank you again for the amazing party.
Pinkie: You're very welcome, I'm happy you enjoyed it.
AppleJackal: I guess we both reached our goals at the end of the day.
Pinkie: We sure did.
AppleJackal then walk up to Pinkie and gives her a hug. Surprising Pinkie.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) Oh my, oh my, oh my. He's hugging me. Okay Pinkie calm down, just calmly hug him back.
AppleJackal: (Thoughts) Yes, she's accepting the hug, I'm so glad she did. I really wanted to hug her,
The two end the hug and say goodbye to each other as Pinkie enters the shop.
Pinkie: (Squeals in excitement) He hugged me, he hugged me. Wow that was the greatest hug I ever had. Hmm I know I can do for him.
As AppleJackal and Applejack make their way home, Applejack give AppleJackal a smile.
AppleJackal: What's the smile for?
Applejack: (Giggles) No reason.
As they finally get to the farm and are about to go into their house they noticed a note in front of the door on the floor. It was addressed to AppleJackal. He reads the note and could do nothing but smile and blush from reading. As it read:
Pinkie: To AppleJackal
Thank you for being such an amazing friend and I will like to return the favour of that amazing hug you have to me, by saying that you can come to Sugar Cube Corner whenever you want. No matter what the time is and that I will give you free cakes if you want any.
From,
Pinkie Pie.
Applejack: From Pinkie Pie?
AppleJackal: Yeah. And that's the best part of the letter.
He says as they both enter the house.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
AppleJackal: (Thoughts) It's already been a week since I've been in Ponyville and I have been hard at work at Sweet Apple Acres, it is tiring but I enjoy. I have also been asked to do other jobs from other ponies, like to fix something or take a certain to a house. Thought there was one job I really enjoyed doing and that was when I helped Pinkie Pie bake. It was so much fin and I wish it could of lasted forever. And ever since I started working at Sweet Apple Acres Pinkie always seems to know when I have my breaks and comes down to visit and brings lunch for me. But I'm glad she does, she always brings a smile to my face when she comes to visit.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) I've seemed to have need visiting Sweet Apple Acres more than I have in a month, the again I have had more of a reason to visit. Since that's where AppleJackal, I always enjoy seeing him during his breaks and having lunch with him. It's always the highlight of my day when I see him, he always makes me happy and smile. I make sure to bring him cupcakes and sandwiches for him and Applejack when she joins. I also then we have got even close after that baking incident where we threw cake mixture at each other and made a big mess. Then we both went for the same tissues and touched hooves. I think I blushed really hard that day.
The only thing they regret is not being able to tell each other how they feel, cause of how scared that the other one won't feel the same way.
Today was another normal day, while AppleJackal, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were having lunch as usual during the two Apple's break. They then see Rainbow Dash flying toward them with something in her pouch.
Applejack: Howdy Rainbow, what brings you here?
Rainbow Dash: This.
Rainbow Dash shows them a flier that says 'Talent show'
Pinkie: A talent show?
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, the town is having a talent show today and the entire town is going to be there. Also the winner gets an awesome trophy.
She points out the trophy in the middle of the flier.
Applejack: Why are they having talent show.
Rainbow Dash: I dunno, maybe to see who is the most talented pony in Ponyville.
Pinkie: Are you going to enter Dashie?
Rainbow Dash: Of course, I'm planning on winning with my awesome moves.
Applejack: Well good luck with that.
Rainbow Dash: I don't need luck. I gotta go and hand out for fliers and then sign up. Then I can practice after. See you guys at the show.
The three see Dash leave as they look at the flier again.
Applejack: Hey, why don't you enter AppleJackal.
AppleJackal: Why?
Applejack: You can show everypony your amazing singing talents.
Pinkie: (Surprised) I didn't know you could sing AppleJackal.
Applejack: Yep, why one night after he came back from helping a pony at work, we had a family night where we sat outside and had a little campfire. The AppleJackal brought out his guitar and sang for us around the campfire.
Pinkie: Wooow. That sounds amazing.
AppleJackal: Yeah but there's a difference between that and this.
Applejack: What do you mean?
AppleJackal: That was me singing for my family. This would be in front the entire town. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't,
Pinkie: Aww please. I think you should, I would love to hear you sing. If Applejack's words are true then you will win for sure, plus she did make you sound amazing. So please.
AppleJackal: (Sighs) Okay Pinkie, I'll do. I'll go to the town square and sign up.
Pinkie: Yay! Thank you.
Pinkie hugs AppleJackal tightly and he hugs her back. Which made him smile cause he know that he will be making Pinkie happy.
So with that, AppleJackal signs up for the show and for the rest of the day he practices what he will be singing for the show, with Applejack helping by giving him food and plenty to drink.
It was now night time and time for the show to start, the entire town was there an filled up every seat. And Pinkie, Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity were also there in the crowd.
Pinkie: Ooh I am so nervocited. I can't wait to hear AppleJackal sing.
Twilight: Neither can I. I never knew he could.
Rarity: Well you never know what a pony can do until you've seen it.
While backstage AppleJackal was waiting for his turn to go on at the end of the show, but was really nervous and was really scared to go on stage. Then Applejack came up to him.
Applejack: How are you feeling?
AppleJackal: Not gonna lie, I'm really nervous and scared. What if the town don't like me?
Applejack: Stop worrying ok. Take a few slow, deep breaths and remember, you are an amazing singer. No matter what any pony says. Plus Pinkie Pie is out there and she is really looking forward to seeing you sing. She think you're going to be amazing.
AppleJackal: (Takes a deep breath) You're right Applejack, I can't let ponies down. But mostly, I can't let Pinkie down.
Applejack: Glad to hear it, I'm gonna go take my seat. Good luck.
AppleJackal: Thank you.
Applejack goes to the audience area and takes her seat next to the others. As the show was going on, there were plenty of different kind of acts performing. Like magic tricks, ventriloquism, comedy and others. As it was now inching towards AppleJackal's turn. As Rainbow Dash just finished her routine the crowd cheered and it was looking as if she was going to win. As AppleJackal was the last one up.
Rainbow Dash: Good luck AppleJackal.
AppleJackal takes a deep breath as he goes on stage and takes his seat on stage. Then the announcer announced his name and what he will do. AppleJackal looked really nervous and was ready to just run off stage until he heard a voice.
Pinkie: You can do it AppleJackal.
The familiar voice of the pony that he loves and he knows has a lot of faith in him made him smile and gave him the confidence to start singing.
(AppleJackal sings - Hero by Enrique Iglesias)
AppleJackal finishes the song and the entire crowd was silent, with surprised faces. AppleJackal thought that is was bad but then a will round of applause and cheering was coming from the audience. Then it was announced that AppleJackal had won the competition.
Pinkie was still shocked but then her shock turn into happiness as her heart beat went faster than ever and tears of joy came out of her eyes, as she knew she fell in love with him even more.
AppleJackal leaves the stage and goes backstage with his trophy as the other 6 meet him backstage.
Twilight: Congratulations, that was amazing.
Rarity: That was better than I thought. You deserved to win.
Fluttershy: You were the best by far. Well done AppleJackal.
Applejack: You deserve the praise AppleJackal, I told you everypony would love it.
Pinkie: Congratulations. I was thinking you were amazing but I didn't know you were that amazing.
AppleJackal: Thank you all, for all your support. I appreciate it, I really do.
Rainbow Dash: Congratulations AppleJackal, you deserved to win. But I want to know, you looked so nervous when you went on. How were you able to pull it off
AppleJackal looks at Pinkie and then looks back at Rainbow.
AppleJackal: Let's just say that, I was influenced by a very special pony.
They all once again say congratulations to AppleJackal and all leave to go home, except for Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie: I know you got a trophy but I wanted to give you another prize for when you won.
AppleJackal: Oh really thank you. You didn't have to.
Pinkie: But I want to.
Pinkie then walks up to AppleJackal and to his surprise, kissed him on the cheek. AppleJackal blushed.
AppleJackal: Th-thank you.
Pinkie: You're welcome, well done again for winning the competition. (To herself as she is leaving) Cause that was a prize for winning my heart.
AppleJackal and Applejack get back home and say goodnight to each other. AppleJackal gets into his bed and looks up to the ceiling think about what just happened and rubs his cheek.
AppleJackal: That was the greatest prize I could ever get.
We also see Pinkie Pie get into her bed. Looking at the ceiling.
Pinkie: I can't believe I did that, but it was worth it. He did win my heart over.
Then they were both determined that one day, not sure when that they will tell each other how they feel about each other.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
It is once again night time at Canterlot and once again Celestia is having the same dream every other night. The message that she is looking for in this dream is still very vague.
Once again she is running away from the light as she stops to catch her breath, but this time when the light attacks her she does no wake up.
She realises this and is shocked to still be asleep.
Celestia: What could be the meaning if this?
She then looks downs and sees a pony on the floor, dead. She was so shocked that at first she almost couldn't look at the pony, but then after regaining her composure and a few deep breaths she walks up to the pony and sees a male pony with an orange coat and a short yellow mane and tail. She then realises that the pony was the pony who had only just moved in to Ponyville, AppleJackal.
She almost fainted from the sight of AppleJackal dead, but then another flash of light came into her view. She was ready for it to attack. But instead of going to her, it went to AppleJackal and after a big flash if light, Celestia finally woke up. She almost couldn't believe it. Luna once again came through the door in a rush.
Luna: Sister, are you okay?
Celestia: I'm fine Luna, but the dream has seemed to have developed more.
Luna: I know, maybe you were right. This must be a message about something bad coming to Equestria.
Celestia: Not only that, but it has something to do with that new pony, AppleJackal.
Luna: But why, I know he save you from the light, but how is he involved in this situation.
Celestia: It is not clear to me either my sister, but we must tell Twilight tomorrow straight away after our royal duties.
Luna: That is a good idea, but right now you must raise the sun and go to Maretropolis.
Celestia and Luna both leave the bedroom as Celestia makes her way to raise the sun, but the dream is still in the back of her mind. What does the dream, why is she having this dream in particular and how is AppleJackal involved.
Daytime in Ponyville once again as we see AppleJackal working on the farm bucking apples.
AppleJackal: (Thoughts) It's been two weeks now ever since I first moved into Ponyville and I've seemed to have settled in very well. Although I still work hard on the farm and for other ponies when they need my help, I always seem to remember that kiss that Pinkie gave me after the talent show. But I think after that kiss, I'm even more sure that I love Pinkie, but still a bit nervous to tell her my feelings. My smiles have become even bigger when she comes to visit me during my breaks. Speaking of the talent show ever since I won for the next three days I was mobbed by ponies asking for pictures and autographs. It was mainly female ponies asking me out, I politely declined them all and asked everypony to act normal around me and not think of me as a celebrity, since I'm not better than anypony else.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) I can't believe it's already been two weeks since I first met AppleJackal, I guess time really does fly by when you're having fun with the pony of your dreams. And I can say this with confidence that I love him more than parties, that might come to a surprise to everypony but it's true. He's just more special to me, I still love parties but AppleJackal just means more too me, now every time I see him at the farm or wherever he is working during his breaks my smile just seemed to get bigger. Though why wouldn't it be, after the whole talent show thing happened. Speaking of which I remembered him being surrounded by ponies, especially female ponies. He told them to just treat him like a normal pony, saying that what he did wasn't that special. To me it was special. Thought I know Rarity would love that kind of attention.
It's once again another normal day at Sweet Apple Acre as AppleJackal, Pinkie and Applejack are having lunch together. Then they see a flash of light and see Twilight in a state of panic.
Pinkie: Hey Twilight, what's up?
AppleJackal: You look a little stressed out.
Twilight: (Panicking) No time to explain, just meet me at the treehouse now.
Twilight teleports away as the three ponies look at each other with confused looks.
Pinkie: What was that all about?
Applejack: I'm not too sure, but the way Twilight was like it didn't look good.
AppleJackal: Well let's go and get to her house quickly and see what's going on.
The ponies then hurry to Twilight's house. After running for a while, they reach Twilight's house and enter and see Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy there. Twilight then comes out of her bedroom.
Twilight: Goo, you're all here on time.
Rainbow Dash: So what's this all about Twilight?
Rarity: Yes, whatever is the matter dear?
Twilight: It pains me to say this, but the God of fear Phobos has made his returned to Equestria.
The ponies all gasp and are shocked, Fluttershy especially scared.
Fluttershy: (Scared) G-g-god of F-f-f-fear.
Twilight: Yes, he was put away by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna years ago, after he tried to make Equestria the country of fear. They say when a pony looks directly at him, the pony then see their worst nightmare in front of their eyes. And sometime it even comes true.
Applejack: So we just don't have to look at him and we should be fine?
Twilight: Exactly. We will have to use the elements of harmony to defeat him and send him back to his prison.
Twilight then gives everypony their Elements.
Pinkie: But wait, if we can't look at Phobos how do we know where to shoot him with our elements.
Twilight: We'll have to figure that out when we get there. For now we must go to the cave of myth, that was where he was last spotted, can I count on you girls to help me.
They all nod their heads as AppleJackal walk up to Twilight.
AppleJackal: I'll come too. I may not be an Element of harmony but I want to help protect town and the ones I love. Plus of you are all caught in his trance I can always snap you all out of it.
Twilight: Thank you AppleJackal, I'm glad we can count on you to help.
Applejack: Just as dependable as his twin cousin.
With that the ponies make their way to the cave of myth, they knew what they were getting themselves into. As they make their way up a mountain Applejack was curious as to how Twilight knew about Phobos' return.
Applejack: So Twi, how did you find out about Phobos?
Twilight: I was told by Celestia, when she was coming back from doing some royal work in Maretropolis, she flew over the cave of myth and saw Phobos go into the cave so she sent me a message telling me about his arrival. And said she thinks that he could be thing that will be a danger to Equestria.
Rainbow Dash: So Phobos was the light that attacked her in her dreams?
Twilight: It's quite possible, but we can't be too sure. She said she also witnessed something happening in her dream but she will tell me at the cave of myth.
After a while they finally reached the cave and are all very nervous to go in, they stand at the entrance looking into the cave.
Rarity: That cave sure looks very dark.
Rainbow Dash: And big.
Fluttershy: And very, very scary.
Pinkie: It can't be that, come on let's go in and find that monster.
AppleJackal looks at Pinkie go into the cave without a care and just smiled at the Pink pony and followed suit.
AppleJackal: She's right, if we work together then Phobos stands no chance.
The girls then gained confidence and went into the cave. The was not as dark since the light from the sun helped make the cave a big more brighter and less scary. They all look around the cave which was a lot bigger on the inside then they thought. Pinkie bounced along in the cave without a care, until she stops from what she thought was noise. Almost like a growl.
Pinkie: Huh?
Pinkie looks around the cave and doesn't see anything, then she looks behind her and sees the others in the distance, but once she turns back around she looks up and sees Phobos standing right in front of her. A creature almost like Discord, who had different parts of different animals to cover up what he really looked like. Pinkie was in a state of shock, and could only do one thing. Scream.
Pinkie: (Screams in fear)
The girls look in the direction of the scream.
Fluttershy: What was that?
AppleJackal: That was Pinkie, she must be in trouble.
The ponies rush over towards the scream and see Pinkie looking up in a state of fear.
AppleJackal: Pinkie! What's wrong?
The ponies then look where Pinkie is looking and see Phobos and all have shocked faces.
Twilight: It's Phobos! Quick everypony don't look at him and run towards the exit and we'll think of what to do once we're there.
The ponies immediately look away and run towards to where they entered the cave. But Pinkie could not move, she was already staring at Phobos and was frozen if fear and is watching her worst fear. Her fear of losing AppleJackal and everypony unhappy. Phobos takes this opportunity to charge up his beam from his eyes.
AppleJackal looks behind him and sees that Pinkie has not moved and stops running.
AppleJackal: Pinkie!
He runs back to Pinkie and the other ponies look at him run back.
Applejack: AppleJackal!
Phobos' beam has fully charge and is aimed at Pinkie, and then he fires. The beam was heading straight towards Pinkie at such a fast speed and it was about to hit her until she was pushed out of the way by AppleJackal and then the beam hit. Not Pinkie, but AppleJackal instead.
Pinkie then shakes her head and wonders what happened.
Pinkie: Uh my head, what happened? (Gasps)
She looks back and see AppleJackal on the floor, motionless with blood coming out very fast. Pinkie quickly runs towards AppleJackal.
Pinkie: (Shouts) AppleJackal!
She then reaches her hooves down to pick him up and see the face of her worst fear coming true, losing the one pony she loved the most. She couldn't help but cry.
The other five ponies have caught up, but were too late. They see Pinkie holding AppleJackal's limp body and crying. All of them on the verge of tears
Twilight: (On the verge of tears) No, this can't be.
Phobos was about to start charging another beam but then in came Celestia and shot a beam of her own right into the eye of Phobos.
Twilight: Princess Celestia.
Celestia: I have blinded him temporarily, I wanted to get here soon. And it seems I was far too late. This is what I feared would happen.
Applejack: What do you mean?
Celestia: You see, I went into my dream further than before and I saw this exact scene. With AppleJackal dead on the floor. Cause he save me from the light that attacked me in my dreams.
The ponies were speechless and looked at Pinkie once again.
Celestia: I am so sorry Pinkie.
Pinkie: (Crying) No it's not true, he's fine. You can fix him right.
Celestia just simply looks down in disappointment, knowing she can't do anything. But then AppleJackal starts coughing and was able to use his last few breaths.
Pinkie: (Crying) AppleJackal?
AppleJackal: Hey Pinkie, I guess we didn't see this coming. I was hoping to be in Ponyville for longer.
Pinkie: (Crying) You always seem to try and put a smile on everypony's face, no matter what situation you're in.
AppleJackal: That is my goal after all, but I guess this is how it's supposed to end.
Pinkie: No, it won't. We'll find you help, no matter what we'll find a way. (Crying) We just have too.
AppleJackal: Please don't cry Pinkie, your smile is the reason why I am able to smile every day. When you see me it's the highlight of my day. From the day we met, I always thought you were an amazing pony and as the days went by, my feelings only kept getting stringer. And just seeing you was my favourite part of being in Ponyville. Because Pinkie, I've wanted to tell you this from day one. I love you.
Pinkie: You do?
AppleJackal nods his head yes.
Pinkie: Then I guess I should tell you, from day one I always thought you were one of the best ponies I had ever met, you were the reason why I came to the farm every day. It was so I can be with you, even if it was a short amount of time, it was always my favourite part of the day. Just seeing you made me smile more than I ever did. And everyday my feeling s were getting stronger, when you sang on stage, when you said you have the same goal as I do, I knew you were the one. I didn't know what feelings I did, but now I know. Because, I love AppleJackal.
AppleJackal: Really, you do?
Pinkie nodded her head yes.
AppleJackal: Well I can now say that I died knowing that the pony I love, loved me back.
AppleJackal said as he took his last breaths and then his body goes completely limp and motionless. Pinkie was crying even more.
Pinkie: (Crying) No, no, no, no. AppleJackal, please don't go, don't go. I need you, I can be without you.
The other ponies started to cry as well and even Celestia couldn't help but shed some tears.
But then as they were all crying, their elements started glowing and they were all really confused. As too what was happening. Then they all came together and reveal something coming from the ceiling of the cave, a stone. But not any ordinary stone.
Celestia: That looks like... An element stone! But how?
Celestia then remembers the last light that went towards AppleJackal at the end of her dream.
Celestia: That's it, that was the last light. But I never knew this pony would be that element.
The element stone then goes toward AppleJackal and they both start to glow. Then a big flash of light blinds the entire cave. The light stops and the ponies look at AppleJackal, and see that there was no more blood and that he had some sort of medal around his neck that had the 7th element on it. AppleJackal then slowly gets up and everypony was shocked. Pinkie couldn't help bu cry, but this time with happiness.
AppleJackal: Huh what happened, I'm... alive?
Pinkie jumps at AppleJackal and hug him tightly and was crying of happiness.
Pinkie: (Crying, but happy) I am so glad you're not dead. I don't know what I would of done without you.
AppleJackal: It's okay Pinkie, I'm here now. And I'm not going anywhere.
Twilight: Princess what happened? What does AppleJackal have around his neck?
Celestia: It was a big secret that I had only learnt about not too long ago and that there was a seventh element and would only show up if a pony showed an act of what the element represents. And that pony was AppleJackal, he is now... The element of Courage!
Celestia the notices Phobos is starting to regain his sight again.
Celestia: We don't have much time, we must do something about Phobos now.
AppleJackal: It's okay Princess, let us handle this.
The group of ponies stood in a line and started to charge their elements and floated in the air, as all the energy from their elements was fully charged and they fired their rainbow beam at Phobos. Phobos regains his sight only to see the rainbow beam coming towards him and wasn't fast enough to dodge it. The beam hits him as Celestia opens up a portal to Phobos' prison which he was then shot into. And then Celestia close the portal.
The ponies cheered as their work was done and surrounded AppleJackal and were happy he was still alive and looked at his element. But he then walked toward Pinkie who was not a part of the group and had tears of happiness in her eyes.
Pinkie and AppleJackal looked at each other as Twilight asked Celestia what was on everypony's mind.
Twilight: Princess, how was AppleJackal able to come back to life.
Celestia: I guess you can say that the magic of friendship is not as strong at the magic of love between two ponies.
After they heard Celestia's answer, AppleJackal and Pinkie looked at each other again and realise that their feelings for each other were real and everything they said, was the truth. They both blushed and smiled at each other with love in their eyes.
Applejack: Ahem. I believe you have something to ask AppleJackal.
AppleJackal: Huh? Oh yeah, you're right.
AppleJackal then takes a deep breath.
AppleJackal: Pinkie, from the moment I met you I knew was in love with who you were and I never knew how much you felt the same way. So would you do me the honour and become my special somepony.
Pinkie: AppleJackal, it made me really happy when you said you loved me the same way. From day one I somehow knew that you were the one for me, even if I didn't know before, but I now know that I can't be without you. Yes, I will be, if you become my special somepony.
The two then finally do what they have wanted to do from day one and kiss. The other ponies cheer for the new couple and even Celestia smiled and shed a tear of happiness. They stop the kiss and look at each other.
AppleJackal and Pinkie: Best. Kiss. Ever.
Celestia: Come, let's leave the cave and go back to Twilight's house. I have a special gift for you all.
So they all leave the cave and end up at Twilight's house. As soon as they have entered the house, Celestia's horn glows and creates a case that holds all seven elements. Everypony then starts to leave to go home after such a tiring day. Pinkie once again walk with AppleJackal and Applejack. Once they get to Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie and AppleJackal look at each other.
Pinkie: Well I guess this is goodbye for now.
AppleJackal: I'll be seeing you tomorrow right?
Pinkie: Just try and stop me.
AppleJackal: Wouldn't dream of stopping you.
The two then hugged and kissed.
Pinkie: I love you.
AppleJackal: I love you too.
Once AppleJackal got home, he went straight to bed and stared at the ceiling. With Pinkie doing the same in her bed, both thinking about what had just happened today.
AppleJackal and Pinkie: Best day ever!
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
AppleJackal: It has already been a year since that day, not the day of my death, but the day that me and Pinkie Pie finally became a couple. It was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. I don't believe I have ever been happier than I am right now. It makes her visits during my breaks that much better, which is mainly at the farm but that doesn't matter. I'm just thankful that I am now with the Pony I love.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) I can't believe a year had passed since the day me and AppleJackal became a couple, that will always be my favourite day. The pony of my dreams asked me t be his girlfriend and now I have him as a boyfriend and I am now the happiest I have been in years. It makes my visits when he's at work that much more special to me. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I wasn't with him.
Today was the day of AppleJackal and Pinkie's first anniversary and AppleJackal has gone to Twilight's with Applejack to ask for advice on what he should do.
AppleJackal: I want to do something special, something that she'll remember forever.
Twilight: Hmm... maybe you can do something that she loved before you two became a couple.
AppleJackal: Yeah and make it that more special because it will be just for her. But I can't think of anything.
As they were thinking of ideas, Fluttershy came into Twilight's house.
Fluttershy: Hello everyone. What's going on?
Applejack: We're trying to find something that AppleJackal can do for Pinkie for their first anniversary.
Fluttershy: Wow, has it been a year already.
Twilight: That's what I said.
Fluttershy: Well, why not sing her that song that you sang at the talent show last year.
Applejack: Hey, that's a great idea. She loved it when you sang that song. She was probably the loudest one in the audience. Plus she did kiss you on the cheek after to sang it.
AppleJackal: Yeah, that's a great idea. Thank you Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: You're welcome.
AppleJackal: But I'm gonna need help setting it all up. Cause I have an idea how. Twilight do you think you could help me set this thing up.
Twilight: Absolutely, want do you want me to do?
AppleJackal explains to the three ponies and then later on to Rarity and Rainbow Dash what his plan is and as soon as they have it planned out they put the plan too action. Pinkie was in the shop, waiting to see if AppleJackal has something in store for her.
Pinkie: I really want to know if he's planned anything, maybe I can get a hint. No Pinkie Pie, that would ruin the surprise. But the suspense is killing me.
Then Rainbow Dash and Rarity arrived at Sugar Cube Corner.
Pinkie: Oh, hello Dashie, hello Rarity. What brings you here.
Rainbow Dash: Well actually we need you to close your eyes and come with us.
Pinkie: Oh okay, why?
Rarity: You'll know why soon darling, just follow us. Don't worry I will hold your hoof until we get there.
It turns into evening. And we see AppleJackal getting ready to sing, while Twilight and Applejack were making last minute changes.
AppleJackal: (Nervous) I hope this goes well.
Applejack: Don't worry, she'll love it. I promise you.
Fluttershy: They're here.
Twilight: Alright, positions everypony.
Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie arrive at the stage.
Rarity: Please take a seat Pinkie darling.
Pinkie: Okie dokie lokie!
Rainbow Dash: And don't open your eyes until you hear the music.
Pinkie was confused by what Dash meant by music, but then she heard a guitar being played. She opened her eyes and saw AppleJackal on stage playing and singing Hero again. Pinkie was smiling more than ever, she remembered that this was the day that AppleJackal stole her heart cause of him singing this song. She started have tears of joy in her eyes.
AppleJackal finishes the dong and walks to the end of the stage where Pinkie is sitting in the audience.
AppleJackal: Happy anniversary Pinkie.
Pinkie rushes onto the stage and give him a big hug and they both kiss.
Pinkie: Best anniversary ever!
Then as they continue to hold each other close, Applejack lit the firework and they all go off. Everypony looks up into the night sky and see the fireworks go. This was the perfect anniversary for AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie. Them together, under Luna's beautiful night.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
AppleJackal: (Thoughts) It's now been two years since me and Pinkie first got together, but I guess we're now together in a different way. After Pinkie's friend Cranky married his sweetheart Matilda I had a thought while attending the wedding. I want to be with Pinkie for the rest of my life, I then knew what to do. So a few days later for our second anniversary I decided to ask her that one important question.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) It was two years since me and AppleJackal got together. But now we've reached the next stage of our lives. For our second anniversary, AppleJackal took me out to a fancy restaurant that he must of paid a lot of bits for. He said he reserved it in advance. So as we sat our table and after having the starter and waiting for the main course to come out. AppleJackal went to the floor in what I thought was him looking for something but then he brought out a box and opened it and there was a ring inside. I couldn't believe was about to happen.
AppleJackal went onto the floor and was on one of his hind legs, he then brought out a box that he was hiding behind him, then opened it to reveal an engagement ring. The entire restaurant noticed and watched.
AppleJackal: Pinkie, after thinking for a few weeks. I decided that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. You make me so happy, so will you make me happier and marry me?
Pinkie at first thought she was dreaming but was glad it was real. She once again had tears of joy in her eyes,
Pinkie: Yes! Yes, I will.
She puts the ring that was on a string and put it around her neck and the two kissed. The entire restaurant clapped for the two as they continued with their date. It was only a few weeks later that the day finally came, their wedding day. As AppleJackal was stand at the altar watching Pinkie in her brides outfits walking down the aisle and thinking about how lucky he was. Then after Twilight read what she would on this day.
Twilight: Do you AppleJackal, take this mare to be your lawful wedded wife. Will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart’s deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?
AppleJackal: I do.
Twilight: And do you Pinkie Pie take this stallion to be your lawful wedded husband. Will you love him, comfort him, honour and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart’s deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?
Pinkie: I super duper do.
Twilight: Then may we have the rings.
Spike brings the rings that have string on them and put them around both Pinkie and AppleJackal's necks.
Twilight: I now happily pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may now kiss the bride.
AppleJackal and Pinkie kiss each other as the ponies applaud.
Twilight: Okay everypony we will be going to the main hall very soon, if you can please make your way there and wait.
The other five girls stay behind.
Fluttershy: Aww, I'm so happy for those two.
Applejack: They sure do make the perfect couple don't they.
Rainbow Dash: (On the verge of crying) Yeah, they do.
Fluttershy: Aww Rainbow Dash, do you have something in your eye.
Rainbow Dash: (Holding in her tears) No I'm just about to cry.
Rarity: To think, Pinkie Pie would be the first one to get married.
Applejack: Come on let's go and talk to them.
Twilight: Congratulations. I am so happy for you two.
Pinkie: Thank you Twilight.
AppleJackal: Yeah, and thank you again for marrying us.
Twilight: It was my pleasure.
Rainbow Dash: Hey, I think congratulations are in order.
Applejack: Look at you, my cousin is all grown up.
AppleJackal: Thanks Applejack.
Rarity: How are feeling Pinkie?
Pinkie: Over the moon. The happiest I have ever been.
Twilight: Come on let's go start the party.
The group goes to entrance of the main hall, where AppleJackal and Pinkie both cut the ribbon and let everypony in. There was food, drinks, ponies talking, dancing or at the tables. It was obvious Pinkie did the party. Although AppleJackal helped, he left it to the expert.
The DJ stopped the music, and Twilight took the mic.
Twilight: Hello everypony, thank you for attending this amazing wedding. But it is now time for the traditional Bride and Groom dance.
Everypony stomped their hooves, in excitement. As AppleJackal goes up to Pinkie.
AppleJackal: May I have this dance?
Pinkie: Yes you may.
The two ponies go onto the dance floor and start dancing to the song that they decided was their special song, Hero that AppleJackal sang. The couple hold each other as they dance.
Pinkie: You know I think I've change my mind.
AppleJackal: What's that?
Pinkie: This, is the best day of my life.
AppleJackal: Me too.
The two come in for a kiss and continue dancing until the sing ended. A more energetic song came on and Pinkie Pie was excited.
Pinkie: (Gasps) This my favourite song to dance too.
Pinkie then goes on the dance with other Pinkie which weird's some ponies out including the other five, as Rainbow Dash walks up to AppleJackal. Who was just smiling at Pinkie.
Rainbow Dash: You know you're married to her now right?
AppleJackal: (Chuckles) I know. And I wouldn't ask for anything else.
AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
AppleJackal: (Thoughts) Three years, three years ago I came into Ponyville too look for cousin and start my new life. But now I'm am the happiest I can be. It was only a year ago I married the pony I love Pinkie Pie. And after that she move in with me into the farm. She still works at Sugar Cube Corner but now lives with me at Sweet Apple Acres. I thought my life couldn't get any better, but it did after we moved on to the next stage of our lives. Our first child.
Pinkie: (Thoughts) It's been 3 years since I first met AppleJackal and started dating him. But look at us now, married and living together. I do miss living at Sugar Cube Corner. But I knew I was going to be happier with AppleJackal. And now we are about to have our first baby.
They told their friends about the baby after a few weeks after Pinkie first became pregnant, and after the months went by, AppleJackal and Pinkie were only getting more and more excited. Than after another few months, AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie had their first baby together. They had a little girl, who had the same Pink coat and hair style as Pinkie, but her Mane and tail colour was yellow, just like AppleJackal's. The hardest part for them was thinking of a name, and when they did their friends showed up at the Hospital.
Twilight: Hey.
AppleJackal: Hey guys. What are you doing here?
Rarity: To congratulate you two of course.
Applejack: So where is the baby.
AppleJackal steps aside to show Pinkie Pie holding her new baby daughter.
Fluttershy: Aww, she's so cute.
Rainbow Dash: Did you give her a name yet?
Pinkie: It did take a while to think of a good one but we finally did after so long.
Twilight: So what is it.
AppleJackal and Pinkie: Apple Pie.
After a few months Apple Pie was starting to grow up and run around the house, thought it was o trouble for AppleJackal and Pinkie as they watched her play. And make a mess.
AppleJackal: She's got your personality you know.
Pinkie: No, she's got our personality.
AppleJackal: Haha yeah you're right. I can wait for her to make friends when she's older, don't like seeing her play by herself.
Pinkie: She'll only be like fir another few months.
AppleJackal: (Confused) What do you mean?
Pinkie: I'm pregnant again.
AppleJackal was really surprised.
AppleJackal: Are you sure? You're being serious?
Pinkie: Yep, we're going to be having our second baby.
AppleJackal: I can't believe. You really have made me the happiest pony in Equestria.
Pinkie: Because you make be the happiest pony every day.
The two come in for a kiss and after a few months their second baby was born, another girl. This time she has AppleJackal's orange coat but Pinkie's pink mane and tail. And Pinkie's mane style. So now They were able to be happy with being married together and two beautiful daughters. But most of all, they love each other no matter what.
What happened next in their lives, well that's another story for another time.
That was AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's Love Story.
The End.
