*Yawn* Came the sound from Twilight's mouth as she woke up for another beautiful day of living with her sweetheart. She hadn’t opened her eyes yet so she could enjoy a few more minutes in her Bae’s room as she wrapped both arms around his body. She suddenly felt the arm she was sleeping on wrap around her back invitingly. She was kind of surprised as he didn’t usually do anything like that when she slept in his bed, but it wasn’t unwelcomed in the slightest. Instead she decided to not look a gift horse in the mouth and laid her head on his chest to see if she could just enjoy it a bit longer. As she laid her head on his broad chest the softness of it was almost too much to bear as she nearly went back to sleep. There was however one problem, his chest has never been this soft…

“Hmmm?” The Equestrian Princess made a curious noise in her sleep as she began to run her arms up and down his body; instead of the usually toned and well defined muscles she’d feel when she cuddled with him, she felt smooth curves and soft skin. “*Sniff…Sniff*” suddenly a sugary sweet scent rushed into her lungs so quick it burned. She was in shock for a few seconds until she realized just where she had noticed these features the day before. Her eyes began to slowly open to get answers only to be blinded by the huge, pearly white smile of a wide awake Pinkie Pie.

“Eeeeeeek!” She squeaked in surprise as she jumped back to get a full look at her.

“Morning Twilight, I didn’t know you were such a cuddler.” The Pink haired menace greeted her. Twilight observed as she got up; she was wearing a pair of pink yoga pants and a baby blue tank top that matched her eyes.

“P-Pinkie! What are you doing in here?” She asked as she got up wearing her usual lavender night gown. She looked around the room for her closest companion to ask him why the latest addition to their household was in his bed, receiving the affection he should be basking in.

“Oh, I saw Cupcake leave early this morning to go do some shopping, and then I noticed you all alone in his room moving your arm around like a baby looking for its stuffed animal. So I decided to come in here and keep you company, you’re really good at cuddling by the way,” She complimented.

“So… he went to the store?”

“Yeserie sweetie.”

“Well, did he say when he’d be back?”

On the road

“*sigh*… iI feels good to get some peace and quiet,” Spike said to himself as he walked out of the store carrying bags full of groceries for himself and his house mates. As he walked he enjoyed the peace of the early morning, something he had taken for granted before his housemates came along. Now, it wasn’t that Spike didn’t like Twilight or Pinkie; it was just that they had really started to shake things up in his normally boring home. “I hope those two are alright on their own-wait. what am I saying? I hope the house is still in one piece when I get back!” The young man worried as the thought of a demolished house entered his mind. He continued to walk until he made it to the fruit vendors, hoping to pick up some apples; however his hopes were dashed as he made his stop onl to see there was no apple vendor there. “What? No one’s here? That’s odd; all the vendors are here in the morning. Where could they be?”

“RUNAWAY CART!”

“Huh-Ahh-OW!” Spike yelled in pain as a full apple cart hit him from behind and sent him flying into the empty space reserved for the apple vendor. He hit the wall face first and dropped his bags full of groceries, along with a few apples that had spilled from the cart before sliding to the ground.

“Oh sweet Celestia! Ah’m sorry sugar cube, Ah didn’t see yah there.” a feminine voice with a southern drawl came, apologizing frantically for the sudden and very intimate relationship between Spike's face and the ground.

“Ouch...” Spike said as he squeezed himself from the tight spot and dusted himself off. He remembered that someone had just come to apologize for it; Spike was the kind of person to forgive and forget type so he began to address them. “Hey don’t worry about it, believe it or not this isn’t the most life threatening thing to happen… to… me… this week...” The young man went on as he turned, only to look up to the owner of the voice. She was a tall blonde woman wearing some cut off jeans, a brown Stetson and a checkered button up shirt that showed off her midriff. Her bust was bountiful; Spike found it difficult not to stare at the massive melons in front of his face, he tried his best to look her in the eye or to try and focus on something else. As luck would have it there was something more eye catching: a pair of pony ears on her head.

“You sure yer alright sugar cube? You seem kindah out of it,” She said getting his attention.

“Huh?... Oh! Sorry I just sort of noticed your ears, you are Equestrian aren’t you?” Spike asked, looking at the woman that was a little less than head taller than him.

“Yah got that right, partner. Mah name's Applejack, Ah just came over to this dimension to expand mah family’s business, I actually thought yah might be Equestrian too with that green hair of yours,” She gestured to his spikey hair.

“Heh, yeah this is a long story. So your family has a business? Are you farmers?”

“That’s right, apple farmers to be exact. And our business had spread all over Equestria, so when we heard there was a whole new world looking for inter dimensional trade we knew it was destiny saying ¡come on over¡.”

“Wow, so you came over here with your family to start a branch here?”

“Well actually no, its just mahself; see Ah was the only one who could since mah sister's young , mah granny is elderly and Mah brother needed to run the farm,” She said, sounding slightly depressed. Spike didn’t fail to notice that.

“Wow, it must be hard for you to do that since you sound so close to your family.”

“Yeah, Ah suppose it is.”

“What about your host? Don’t they keep you company?” Spike asked realizing she was all on her own.

“Well yah see, Ah don’t have a host as yet, since Ah’m here for business purposes, so Ah was given a pass to be on mah own fer a while longer than those here to study culture and whatnot,” She explained. She noticed that he'd dropped all his groceries when the cart hit him so she decided to at ñeast help him pick them up. “Here sugarcube, let me pick those up for yah, it’s the least Ah can do.”

“N really its fine I can-wow….” The young man said as the green eyed woman turned around and began to pick up his belongings without bending her knees. Spike knew it was impolite to stare, but he’d be damned if this wasn’t the most well rounded rump he’d ever seen.

“I really should stop starring before I get an-”

“Hi Spike! Lovely day isn’t it?” Said Spike's erection.

“Dammit boner get out of here!” Spike screamed inwardly.

“Aw come on, again? This is like the hundredth time this week.”

“Leave now or I’ll think about that time we walked in on our granny naked!”

“No! anything but that! I’ll leave I’ll leave!”

“Uh….yah alright there partner? Yah seem kindah out of it,” Applejack asked, noticing that the green haired young man had a focused look on his face.

“Huh?... Oh, uh, yeah. Sorry about that I kinda dozed off for a second,” He chuckled nervously.

“Well, here let me get some apples fer yah, on the house,” She said, taking a few steps forward until she stepped on some of her own fruits. “Woah!”

“I got you!” Spike said quickly running behind her. He managed to catch her just before she hit the ground; many people turned their heads when they saw the tall woman fall, however what kept their attention was the position Spike and her were in.

“Thanks there sugarcube Ah-” She stopped when she opened her eyes to see his emerald eyes staring back into her own. Spike was currently holding her by her back with both arms while she held onto his neck with her own. Neither of them knew what to do at that moment but they found themselves unable to break their hold in each other. After a few moments of feeling the other’s breaths on their faces Applejack regained control and spoke up.

“Wo-ho there lover boy, let's back it up a bit,” She said standing up and pushing the young man out of his trance.

“Huh… Oh sorry, yeah, I didn’t mean for that to happen-well I did mean to catch you just not make you feel like I wanted you-NOT saying you’re not attractive! Definitely not saying that, you’re in fact very attractive and I think any guy would be lucky to have you- no wait please don’t think I’m coming onto you! I’m just-”

“That’s alright sugarcube, Ah think yah have said enough,” She said, hoping to try and alleviate some of the awkward tension in the atmosphere. “So Ah noticed yah have a lot to carry, yah want some help?”

“Well… Sure,” With that she helped him with his things and walked in the direction of his house, passing by several different shops and stores. Spike decided he should get her something to try and make up for the stuff that happened. “Hey Applejack, did you have anything for breakfast this morning?” He asked. looking back at an indoor restraunt that had breakfast specials on its menu.

“No, nothin' this morning, why?”

“Well I didn’t really eat anything either so you wanna grab some grub? My treat,” he gestured to the restraunt.

“Well, Ah don’t see why not.”

“Great, lets go,” So the two went into the dinner to get something to eat. However as they walked in they failed to notice a rusty old van pulling up on the other side of the street, its two occupants eyeing the dinner.vTheir next target.

“Okay so this is the place, remember the plan. Get in get the money, get out.” The first shady figure explained to his partner.

“Yeah I got it, I’m not a dumbass,” The other replied annoyed. After that he quickly reached out and tucked in a long object into his trench coat and put on a pair of shades before calmly walking toward the dinner.

Meanwhile Spike and AJ had sat down and were waiting for a waitress to come take their order.

“Hello, welcome to the Early Bird! May I take your order?” The waitress asked.

“Well Ah guess Ah’ll have a small salad,” Applejack replied.

“A small salad, you sure that’s all you want?” Spike asked.

“Well yeah, Ah don’t want to order too much, it would be impolite to…”

“I insist, I’m treating you to it so order what you want.”

“Well… alright then. Ah’ll have a large salad-no, wo large salads, an extra large veggie burger with fries and….a large soy milk smoothie,” Applejack gave her order.

The waitress stood there. wide eyed and speechless; she was about to say something before Spike spoke first.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about! I’ll just have bacon and eggs please, thank you,” The waitress stood there for a second and blinked before smiling and saying their order would be with them shortly.

“So, you’re not surprised by how much Ah ordered?” Applejack asked when seeing the green haired man’s reaction.

“Not at all, I already have two roommates who both eat a lot, and you know something? I’m starting to take a liking to girls with healthy appetites, heh,” The young man chuckled and threw a wink her way, though he honestly meant it. His chuckle caused him to fail to notice the slight blush on her face. She wasn’t used to this kind of attention. Spike was about to ask her why she had her hat down before they heard a yell from the counter.

“Oh my god!”

“Shut up and put the money in the bag!” A raspy voice ordered from just a few feet away from Spike and AJ.

“Oh no.” Spike said in shock.

“What’s going on?” Applejack asked as she noticed all the worried and scared looks of the people inside.

“Everybody just stay down and nobody will get hurt,” The criminal ordered as the cashier put all of the store's money in the black bag on the table.

“This guy's robbing the place, and he’s got a shotgun which is a dangerous weapon! We should just stay down and it should be over soon,” Spike explained.

“What’s a shotgun?

“It’s basically a small canon, do you understand?”

“Yeah, ah get it. He’s a no good thief, where Ah’m from we don’t let varmints like them do what they want,” She looked back at the thief to see his back was turned. “And Ah aint startin’ now.”

“What are you talking about?” Spike asked worriedly as he noticed the determined looked on her face.

“Look, his back is turned to us so he won’t see it coming; it’ll be easier to take away his weapon.”

“You’re not going to try and take his gun away, are you?”

“Of course not.”

“Phew…”

“You are.”

“What!?” he whisper-yelled.

“Ah’m Equestrian so Ah can’t hurt this varmint without riskin' getting sent back to Equestria, but you, on the other hand, can.”

“That’s crazy! There’s too much distance between him and me. He’d see me coming a mile away and blow my head off.”

“Don’t worry none, that’s why Ah’m gonna use this lasso to tie him up from here like a bull at a rodeo before you go. Ah’m not technically hurting him so it’ll be okay.”

“I don’t think that’s such a good idea.”

“We go on three, I’ll lasso him then you run up take his weapon, got it?”

“Hold on, think about this for a second, please.”

“Three!” with that the cowgirl stood up faster than Spike could believe and hurled a lasso at the thief, successfully tying him up around the arms and forcing him to drop the gun suddenly, leaving the criminal shocked and startled by his sudden restriction.

“Spike quick, go now!”

“Huh?..Oh right,” Spike then took off, a bit shocked and impressed with her success.

“What the hell!!?” The robber cried out as he realized what was happening.

Back in the rusty van his partner in crime hadn’t failed to notice the sudden turn of events. He watched in shock as the thief was tied up by the foreigner. He knew it was over, they would take his partner captive and he would rat him out to the police. He failed to notice Spike ecause he was crawling on the ground, seizing the shotgun. His eyes and his rage were focused on the tall blonde pony freak show; he decided to get some payback before he ran his ass out of there. He looked behind him and for an answer. He removed a few sheets until he found something that would do nicely.

Back in the dinner everything had surprisingly gone according to plan. The thief was tied up, Spike had successfully seized his firearm without needing to hurt him, and everyone was relieved that no one was hurt.

“I gotta say Applejack, I was pretty nervous about your plan but it worked out great. You’re a real hero,” Spike complimented.

“Aw shucks it was nothing, besides you helped just as much as I did.”

“Me? Oh no, all I did was crawl my way towards his gun. I think everyone here can say you are their heroine,” The crowd all mumbled words of agreement as they gave their heroine a round of applause. Though Applejack was the focus of the crowd’s admiration, she was also the focus of a criminal’s hatred. This became apparent as he burst in through the door, aiming the cocked second shot gun at the farmer.

The crowd all screamed as they saw the second firearm; Applejack saw the weapon aimed directly at her. She may have not known what it was going to do but she knew, based on their reactions… that it was going to kill her.

*BANG*

The ear shattering noise rang out as she shut her eyes tightly. Her entire life flashed before her eyes, her family and her friends, everything she held dear as she waited for impending death. But several seconds went by and nothing happened.

“Wh-what… Huh?!” She yelled out as she realized what had happened. Spike had taken the shot for her. This became apparent as his motionless body laid on the ground. “SPIKE!”

Two words crossed Spike's mind at that very moment before blacking out:“I’m dead…”


“Or at least that what I thought… turns out it was just a beanbag shot gun. Heh. Funny, huh?” Spike explained to Agent Sunset outside the restraunt while he sat on an ambulance with bandages on his chest. The agent had shown up at the dinner after she heard there may have been an incident involving an Equestrian and a robbery.

“Funny to me? Yes. To you? I can’t imagine why since you’ve got that huge bruise right on your chest,” she said surprised at his attitude towards the very painful looking injury.

“Well you know, normally this would hurt me really bad, but after experiencing all this craziness with Twi and Pinkie I’m getting used to it. That… is probably a bad thing now that I think about it.”

“Yeah, pretty soon you’ll be begging them to hurt you. 'Harder Twilight, please! I’ve been such a naughty boy!' 'Burn me pinkie!' AHahahahaha!” The agent burst out laughing at her own imitation of the young man.

“Oh ha-ha very funny. Speaking of Equestrians, where is Applejack?”

“Um, right here sugarcube,” Came the answer from behind Spike. “Ah wanted to say…. thank yah kindly for doing what yah did back there.”

“No need to thank me, it wasn’t like it was gonna kill you.”

“But yah didn’t know that at the time! And you still took what could’ve been certain death for yah. But why? Yah just met me and yah still did it,” She questioned.

“Well Applejack, to be honest, something just sort of came over me. After you told me about your family and the passion you have for what you do I just couldn’t let such an amazing person die like that. You are special Applejack.”

That hit her hard; her granny always told her that if someone put themselves in harm’s way for you, you are special to them. And you should never let them go because they’re as good as family.

“W-well thanks Spike, A-ah think you’re really special too,” she said, using her hat to hide her blush.

Just then a certain red headed agent had an idea that would save her a lot of time and paper work.

“So you two seem to be getting along nicely,” Agent Sunset said. “Miss Applejack, would you like to perhaps have Mr. Draco here to be your host for your stay here in our world?” She asked.

“Really!? YES!-ahem. Ah mean, yes Ah would in fact like that. Thank yah kindly,” She answered, embarrassed from her girly outburst.

“Hold on Sunset, is that even…”

“What’s the matter Spike? Are you saying that you don’t want Applejack here to stay at your house? You certainly have enough space,” Spike was about to explain himself until his eyes caught sight of Applejack's increasingly saddening face. Something he just couldn’t stand the sight of.

“No, of course not. If she wants to stay at my home she’s more than welcome to,” He said while throwing his arm around her shoulder.

“Excellent! you two can get a move on then, I’ll have some people pick up her belongings and send them to your place. Bye now,” Sunset said while taking her leave.

“Well, come on Applejack, let's go home.”

“Spike, Ah want yah to call me Jackie. Only people who are special to me can call me that, and after today yah are one of them.” She said, hiding yet another uncharacteristic blush from him.

“….Sure Apple-Jackie. Lets go,” he said, putting an arm on her shoulder and leading her to his home.

“Yeah, lets go home… lover boy.”

Spike couldn’t help but blush a bit at yet another nickname he’d earned. It was then that he wondered how Pinkie and Twilight were doing.

*Back at the house*

“Put it in your mouth!” Pinkie ordered.

“No Pinkie I can’t, please! Get it out of my face!”

“I promise you won’t choke on it!”

“This isn’t what I meant when I said 'treat me like a regular pony'!”

“You know you want too! Come on, just the tip!”

“This thing is huge! How were you able to hide it in those yoga pants?!”

“I’ll never tell! Now come on, I promise once you start you won’t be able to stop,” She said trying to push the thick object into Twilight's mouth, getting a white substance on her lips.

“Pinkie, for the last time I don’t want a cupcake! Especially this one! How did you even make one this big?” She asked, amazed at the sheer size of the baked good.

“Pleaaaaaase I need to know if its good so I can give a cupcake to Cupcake when he gets home!"

“If you want to, just wait until he gets back; then he’ll tell you about, your cupcakes and I’ll finally have some alone time with my assistant,” she said finally pushing Pinkie away and waiting for the return of her knight in green hair. she just wanted a nice peaceful night with her Bae. She was surprised when he left in the morning without her noticing and was surprised again at Pinkie's extremely hyper activity (she was tempted to run some tests her after all she witnessed the pink haired pony girl could do); the last thing she needed right now was another surprise.
