The Love of an Apple
Chapter 8: Revelations
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke up and gallop out of the barn. I don’t actually know much about Ponyville I spent most of my time on the farm. I know, maybe the Crusaders know something. I went to their clubhouse and knocked on the door. Applebloom asked “Who is it?”
I replied “It’s me, Cara.” Applebloom opened the door and let me inside.
Scootaloo asked “Why are you here? We were in the middle of a crusader meeting.”
I watched as Applebloom glared at Scootaloo before she asked “Can we do anything to help ya?”
I replied “Um, Ah am taking Applejack out for dinner and Ah don’t know where to go. Ah want it to be somewhere plain but comfortable. ”
Applebloom said “Well there is the Cafe Hay and the Hay Burger. I can’t think of else anything towards the less fancy end Ponyville has quite a few fancier places.”
Scootaloo said “Well there is the Steel Arm’s omnivorous diner.”
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle gasped “There are carnivores there, they won’t appreciate a pair of herbivores there.”
I laughed “Relax, you girls Ah am an omnivore, Changeling remember. I have been aching for some bacon now that you mention it.”
I then asked “Actually do you find it weird Ah’m dating Applebloom’s sister after only knowing her for a few days ?”
Applebloom and the Crusaders burst out laughing. I blinked before Applebloom said “Ah’m sorry but things move fast around here. Applejack became good friends with 5 other ponies in less than a day, most of them being very different from her. Besides this is just a simple first date.”
Sweetie Belle said “Yeah, we support you no matter what.”
Scootaloo said “You have even helped Braeburn and beat a minotaur in a duel. You’re the coolest changeling I’ve ever met !”
Applebloom replied “She is the only changeling you ever met, that wasn’t trying to put you in a cocoon.”
Sweetie Belle said “The reason we’re doing this Scootaloo, is because she’s our good friend. We would all be at the bottom of that ditch with our cart.”
I smiled as I said “Thank ya all for ya support, Ah am going to help Applejack with her chores.” I galloped over to Applejack who was busy feeding some of the animals.
Applejack smiled “You gonna help me, Sugarcube?” I nodded and helped to feed the animals. Applejack looks to the Orchard and asked “You gonna help me with that?” I saw so many trees that needed bucking.
I asked “Ah thought we would have been done with the harvest, why are there so many trees with apples on them?”
Applejack replied “Our farm is much larger than Braeburn's due to the location.”
I replied “Well we better get going, we have a lot of apples to collect.” Applejack nodded and we bucked trees for hours. I smiled when we were finally done. I asked “Can we have a shower before we go ?”
Applejack said “Sure, I need one.” I watched as she got herself ready. I however. had my own plan.
I waited for her to go into the shower, then I stepped into the shower and put my hooves on her withers and started to give her a massage. I said as she moaned “You have a lot of tension in your withers.” I keep massaging until the last of her muscles were loose.
Applejack asked after she recovered “How did you do that?”
I said “I had some practice several years back.” I realised just how toned she was the water trickled down her back. We cleaned ourselves up and got ready to go.
3 young fillies ran up to Applejack and said to her in a quiet voice I could barely make out “You hurt her and we will be quite angry.” I was confused, I was the one that should been on the receiving end of that.
Applejack asked nervously “Where are we going?”
I was worried but I knew how to get her mind of it. I responded as turned around and let my hips sway slightly “It’s a surprise.” I could feel her embarrassment at the scenario as well as the love she was emanating or maybe it was lust.
We arrived in front of the restaurant when she realised where we were. She asked “Why are we here, this is an omnivorous restaurant?”
I smirked “Ponies can eat meat too and Ah’m craving some bacon.”Applejack looked confused at my statement. We entered to several strange looks from Diamond Dogs, Griffons and Minotaurs. Me and Applejack took a seat.
Applejack looked at the menu while already I had my meal idea in my head. I smiled as the Griffon waitress walked over. Applejack asked “Ah’ll have a cucumber and tomato salad.”
Many of the carnivores smiled as they murmured something, I could feel it. I would give them something to think about. I said “I would like to have a large plate of bacon and eggs.” The waitress gasped and several of the carnivores stared at me for a whole minute.
Applejack asked “Why did you order bacon?”
I replied “Ah lived on a largely meat diet when Ah was little, Ah have a taste for it.” Applejack smiled at my answer, she said “Ah’m glad you honest with me, Ah have something to tell ya.” I could feel the love emanating off her.
I said “Please tell me.”
Applejack blushed “Ah have a crush on you Sugarcube.” I blushed despite already knowing.
I replied “So do Ah, this has been great.” Our food has been placed on the table and I shove my face into the plate while Applejack eats with a little more tact.
A Diamond Dog shouted “That’s how a true carnivore eats, you’re an impressive pony.” Applejack finished off her meal quickly as I glared at the Diamond Dog. I never liked Diamond Dogs, always trying to steal nymphs.
Me and Applejack walked up and paid Steel Arms, he said before we left “You put on quite a show, come back again.”
Applejack asked “You have been acting strange, if we’re going to make this work we can’t keep secrets.”
I replied “Ah was planning on telling ya but can we do it back at Sweet Apple Acres?" When we arrived back at Sweet Apple Acres we heard the sound of screams. The Crusaders were surrounded by several Timberwolves. Applejack charged at them and bucked 1 in the head, I fired 2 small fire spells at them and they backed away from the Crusaders.
Applejack stared at me as more turned up from out of the forest. I said “Applejack time for ya to know the truth about me.” I burst into flames revealing my true changeling form. Applejack stared at me shocked and horrorified. I cast a huge fire spell incinerating all the Timberwolves.I asked “Applejack, are ya okay?”
Applejack cried as she stared at my large jagged horn “You're a Changeling Queen.” I watched as she galloped away from me. The hate and betrayal I felt from her, brought me to tears. I reassumed my disguise and cried as I galloped to the train station.
I said crying “Ticket to Appleloosa please.”
The stallion said “You broke up with somepony, take the ticket, I have rarely seen a pony that upset unless it’s that.” I cried myself to sleep in the train as it left Ponyville.
