Companion to Intoxicating Scales- From AppleJack's perspective.

AppleJack's fancied Rarity for as long as she can remember. Their paths rarely crossed before they became Elements. Throughout the years, they grew closer as they decimated threats to Equestria.

However, as danger begins to thin across the land, her life is gripped by a vicious adversary- loneliness. Which is viciously thrashed into a depression as she sees her friends less and less. Until the mare of her heated fantasies begins to stop by more often.

What would happen after that? Rejection? A brand new path in her life?
