Even though the weekend hadn't started off on a good note, by the time Saturday morning arrived, Applejack was feeling better, and ready to pursue the plans she had made for her girlfriend. She had woken up at six am, two hours before Rarity usually woke up, and snuck downstairs to make Rarity breakfast in bed. Being quiet as possible, Applejack made all of Rarity's favorite foods, with a bit of an apple twist. She made french toast with apple jelly, scrambled eggs, sausage link, plain pancakes with apple syrup, and a glass of apple juice. As she finished, she looked at the clock with a smile,"7:59, perfect timing," she said quietly as she picked up the tray of food and carefully walked up the stairs and into the bedroom,"Rarity..." the farm girl called gently, making Rarity stir slightly,"Rares, time to get up..." AJ continued as she approached the bedside.

"Yes...Jackie.....?" Rarity replied sleepily as she rolled over, and propped herself up against her pillows.

"Made ya breakfast." She smiled as she placed the tray in front of her girlfriend, who instantly smiled.

"Aww thank you!" Rarity exclaimed gratefully.

"Your welcome sweetie, I have a nice day planned for us, so eat up."

"Can we start the day by enjoying this breakfast together?" Rarity asked, making AJ giggle.

"Sure hon."

After eating and getting dressed, the girls were on the road to a location only known to AJ,"Um, Jackie, where exactly are we going?" Rarity asked, and Applejack responded with a giggle,

"You'll see honey." Rarity only rolled her eyes with a smile as she stared out of the truck's window. Her smile soon grew even wider as the truck pulled into the park and stopped in front of the gazebo, where a romantic candlelit picnic was set up.

"We just ate AJ." Rarity laughed.

"I know, that's for later. I thought we could take a nice nature walk around the park, read together a little, and of course, the picnic!" Rarity blushed with a smile.

"This is all so sweet Applejack! What's the occasion?" Rarity asked, and AJ responded with a laugh.

"Only our 6-Month Anniversary!" Applejack replied with a smile and Rarity instantly gasped in surprise.

"Oh, my goodness AJ! I'm so sorry that I forgot!"

"Think it nothing sweetie, it's nothing too special, I just thought we would do a little something. Now, how about we go and find a spot to continue reading our book?" With a nod of agreement, AJ grabbed the book the two were currently reading,'The Princess Bride,' and lead her girlfriend down the park's nature path until they found nice shaded area under a large oak tree, where they sat down, and Rarity laid her head on Applejack's chest as the farm girl opened the book to their latest position in the story. The couple had always enjoyed reading together, and Rarity, in particular, found the activity even more enjoyable when her girlfriend would read the books to her while using different voices for each of the characters.

"Could you imagine us in this story?" Rarity asked suddenly, cutting Applejack off from reading.

"Always do, that's how I enjoy these romantic type books so much." Rarity only laughed at the response.

"I would be the princess," Rarity added with a smile as she looked up to face her girlfriend.

"And I the mysterious one in black." Applejack responded with a giggle. After a moment, Applejack continued reading, finally stopping at the end of the chapter they were on. The two then continued to walk down the path, holding hands as Rarity leaned against Applejack, letting the country teen guide her.

"AJ, I need to use the restroom..." Rarity said suddenly as they approached the gazebo.

"Okay Rares. I'll be here." Rarity smiled and walked up the hill to the park's main building. Walking around to the side she entered the girl's room. After she did her business, she went to wash her hands, when a sudden smash was heard from the window beside her. With a scream of fear and surprise, she turned her head to see the broken glass all over the floor. The glass was surrounded by a small rock, with what looked to be a piece of paper tied to it. Taking a few deep breaths to slow her rapid heartbeat to a calmer state, she slowly approached the small rock and reached down and shakily reached her arm out and picked up the item.

"What in the world...?" The teen whispered as she gently pulled the rubber band from the rock and unfolded the paper, and after reading it, she instantly teared up and began shaking in fear.

"Have fun while you can. You don't deserve to be with Applejack, she belongs to me. I will take you away from her, one way or another. It can be the easy way, which is you breaking up with her, or the hard way, me forcing you from her. I don't care which way it goes. You have 48 hours to make your decision.

-T

PS: If you tell Applejack about this note, you have automatically chosen the hard way, and don't think you can secretly tell her because I am always watching."

Breaking down into tears, Rarity shoved the note into her skirt pocket as she stumbled back against the wall and slid to the floor. Burying her face in her knees, she began to cry, unsure of what to do.

Author's Note

So, how many of you thought Rarity was gonna get kidnapped when she went to the bathroom? I was actually trying to make it seem like that was going to be the case.

SPOILER: For those who want to know, Rarity will be kidnapped within the next two chapters. (hover over the spoiler block if you want to know when Rarity will be kidnapped!)

Also, sorry that it took a while to update, I was busy with my semester finals, YouTube video editing, Christmas shopping and decorating, etc. I plan to release "Wedding of Loyal Kindness: Chapter 1" before New Years by the way, for those who wanted to know! I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Don't forget to like and comment!
