Fluttershy was outside around her cottage in the woods in Ponyville chopping wood for Applejack, she never liked using sharp objects but she decided to do it this once for her best friend. As she chopped wood she planned having Applejack come over and get them because she wasn't strong to pull them. Once she finished chopping the wood however she pulled all of the pieces over to Sweet Apple Acres in a wagon anyway. Once she got to Sweet Apple Acre's Applejack greeted her.
"Howdy Fluttershy, y'all did a mighty fine job doing this for me, sorry you had to carry them here." Applejack stated as she picked one by one up by hand and put them in a wheelbarrow.
"Thanks Applejack, I cut as much as I could no matter how tiring it was to do, you never told me what the size of the pieces had to be so I just trusted my instinct and cut them how I thought you wanted them to be cut...if that's alright with you, I had wanted Twilight to help me but she was to busy meeting with Fizzlepop Berrytwist today." Fluttershy said as she watched her friend load the pieces up.
"That's mighty fine Fluttershy! Thank you very much! Ah was running low and didn't have time to chop down more trees so ah had you do it, yeah sorry about Twilight she has been meeting that former enemy who tried to help the Storm King more often now. Some ponies say they are dating but I honestly don't know. I wonder if she will keep her horn the way it is, you're just as generous as Rarity, Ah think she's rubbing off on you and let me tell you that that is a good thing." Applejack said as she finished putting the pieces in the wheelbarrow, Fluttershy blushed.
"Uh...your welcome." Fluttershy said as she was unsure of how to answer, Applejack laughed and hugged Fluttershy, Fluttershy hesitated but then hugged her friend back, they stayed like that for a few seconds and then they stopped hugging.
"So do you want to stay for a bit? Ah can make you something to eat." Applejack stated, before Fluttershy could answer a pony made his way to the farm, Applejack looked back at Fluttershy and spoke.
"Hold on I just have to take care of this one customer, just wait." Applejack told Fluttershy, Fluttershy nodded and Applejack went to the customer.
"Hey what's yall's name?" Applejack asked until she came close to the pony when that happened Applejack knew who it was.
"Darn it Evictus! How many times do Ah have to tell you about going over to where the family works!? Go up to the front door! That's how it always worked!" Ah keep telling you this and y'all keep forgetting!" Applejack ranted.
"But Applejack-" Evictus began to say but Applejack interrupted him.
"No! Now yall's go to the front and I'll serve you there!" Applejack said, Evictus frowned and went to the front door, Applejack went to the front and served Evictus and Evictus left, Applejack grumbled as he walked back to Fluttershy.
"Ah am terribly sorry about that! Ah didn't know that ah was going to be dealing with that today, he always does the wrong thing and I don't know why. Anyway do you want to stay for a bit?" Applejack asked, Fluttershy thought about Applejack's offer and then spoke of her true intention for coming over to Applejack's
"I don't want to stay sorry...I was hoping to speak to Big Macintosh...I know he's probably here...if he's not could you tell him to see me?" Fluttershy asked. Applejack nodded.
"Ah will gladly do that...what are y'all up to anyway if you don't mind me asking?" Applejack asked causing Fluttershy to blush as she was not expecting that answer from her friend.
"Nothing! I just...wanted to spend time with him! I came over here to talk to him but since he's not here I'll wait until you tell him to visit me..." Fluttershy said as she tried to explain.
"Ya'll are fucking aren't you?" Applejack guessed with a smirk. Fluttershy gasped as she blushed.
"No-no! We're...were um...you know...doing....stuff that friends do..." Fluttershy stammered. Applejack smiled slyly.
"Uh huh. Sure you are..." Applejack began to say, Fluttershy blushed as she sighed.
"Alright we do have a sexual relationship...just please keep quiet about it..." Fluttershy said. Applejack shrugged.
"Sure...my brother's business is his own not mine...if he ever mistreats you however I will make him wish that he didn't Applejack stated. Fluttershy knew exactly what Applejack meant.
"You mean you will use elements of harmony to blast to him to smithereens or banish him?" Fluttershy asked with a bit of fear in her voice.
"Hahaha! Nah, Ahm not that cruel to him, and I definitely wouldn't do that as it would devastate you, I might have Twilight give him a few zaps with her magic or even banish him with the elements." Applejack said. Fluttershy winced as it seemed painful, she also didn't think Twilight would waste time doing that as she had her princess duties and meetings to do all over Equestria and even in her own castle in Ponyville even if she could make it to places faster due to being an Alicorn now. Being princess wasn't easy and it still isn't easy for Twilight.
"That...sounds painful...and it wouldn't be a good use for magic..." Fluttershy said, Applejack shrugged as it seemed fair to her as she hated when ponies were taken advantage of. She knew that Fluttershy was easy to take advantage of as she was way to sweet and naive, it made her sick to think about. If she could she would zap every sick pony that existed with the elements and banish them all.
Oh well. Look I'll send your message to him when I see him." Applejack said. Fluttershy nodded and left Sweet Apple Acres and went back to her cottage in Ponyville while Applejack went back to work in Sweet Apple Acre's Soon she saw her brother come home so she told him about Fluttershy so he went to see Fluttershy and they both set up a date for next week.
