Caramel was beyond nervous. He wasn’t nervous about stepping up to help Applejack find the Liquid of Life, actually he was happy about that.

What made him nervous was something he hadn’t told anypony; He was in love with Applejack.

From the moment he saw her, he was completely head over heels. He’d had his fillyfriends, but they had all left him when his clumsy side reared it’s ugly head. Applejack never judged him, nor did she ever blow up at him when he messed up.

Despite all of that, he wasn’t going to let his feelings get in the way of the bigger picture. He knew that Applejack and the rest of the family was depending on him, and he was not going to let them down.

Currently, he was at home relaxing on his couch.
Caramel lived in a home about five minutes from Sweet Apple Acres. As he was finishing his book, he heard somepony walk up his porch and knock on the door.

He answered the door and saw Applejack, with a bag packed.

“Well, howdy Applejack. This is certainly a suprise, come in”, he said,”What brings ya’ here, partner?”.

Applejack entered and looked towards him.

“Well, Ah came here to see if you were all packed up. We have a big day tomorrow”, she said.

Caramel looked surprised at that.

“Wait, it’s tomorrow?”, he asked.

She sighed playfully.

“Ah see nopony told ya”,Applejack said coyly.

“A-Ah’m sorry, AJ. I-“, he said but was interrupted.

“It’s ok, Mel. Want me to help ya’ pack?”, Applejack asked.

He laughed to himself and smiled brightly.

“Sure, Applejack. Ah’d like that”.
