One Page Scene #1 (Pancakes) The smell of pancakes filled the Apple family’s household, it was around 6:30 a.m that morning as the sun slowly began to rise. The sounds of sizzling were heard by the pan, as the butter instantly melted by the heat, and the sounds of chatting were heard within the kitchen. Applejack decided to make the pancakes that Saturday, she felt like Granny or Big Macintosh needed a break, especially from work this week. Zephyr was a bit tired, he wasn’t used to waking up this early, his usual time was around 10:20 max. But since he had to help around, it still didn’t make up for it. He leaned his body against the counter, his head against his hand while his arm balanced him. He gave a few loud, yet tiresome yawns, stretching his other arm as he heard a single crack from it, before it felt to his side. He looked at the pancake slowly bubbling up. The bright side from all of this, is that the warmth of the stove was felt on his skin, which made him have a sense of warmth deep down. But he knew that the best part was. It was spending time with his girlfriend, Applejack. “Alrighty,” Applejack responded happily, she took a whole of the spatula. “I think this pancake is ready; like a roast chicken on a barbecue.” Making sure, she slowly put the spatula underneath the breakfast food, she didn’t want any batter to spill out ruining the pancake in the process. Luckily it wasn’t, as it was ready on it's other side. Her spatula took a whole of the breakfast food, flipping it as it fell straight in the pan. The pancake’s batter splattered a bit, making it spread out just a bit out of the pancake but it didn't look too bad. Zephyr saw this before he nodded, a smile slowly formed on his lips. “Not bad apple,” he said, his tone still sounding tired but still his usual confident self, making Applejack gaze her head to the tiresome breeze. “not bad.” She lifted a brow at him, a smirk formed on her lips, and her cheeks slowly turned warm. “Haha, thanks Zeph. I could’ve done better, but hey, it’s better than no bad pancakes.” The prideful male gave a warm chuckle. “True. But, I do admit that you look quite mighty lovely today, and you’re better than other pancakes.” A groan came from the farmer, her cheeks slowly turning more warm than before. She turned her head at the food, knowing that it was ready. She took a whole of the pan handle, using her spatula to scoop her pancake. She placed it on top of the other two pancakes that sat upon a white plate. She put the pan upon the stove top again, her head turned to Zephyr once again, her eyes now seeing a playful smirk on his lips, one his brows were lifted while the other stayed down. He felt his cheeks turn warm, the same way like his dear AJ. The farmer rolled her eyes, playfully pushing him by using her free hand. “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood, Breezy.” A laugh arose from his throat, while he maintained his balance. “Well, I could make your mood better. After breakfast.” he flirtatiously responded, causing Applejack to sigh softly. She ended up placing a hand on her face, shaking her head slightly as she could feel her face warm up more. "Just yap it, and take your pancakes! Ya mood giver." she playfully said. The End. //-------------------------------------------------------// One Page Scene #2 (Movie) //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note I don't know, I may not be happy with this one, but I hope you like it though! (Edit January 7th 2022, gave this an edit for the story.) One Page Scene #2 (Movie) It was a quiet night within Sweet Apple Acres, the moon wasn’t out as clouds hovered over the dark sky while the sound of rain pounded against the window. The rest of the Apple family didn’t do much work around the barn, as it rained all day. Which meant Applejack had the opportunity to focus on her school stuff, talk to her friends through texts for a couple of hours, complete at least some chores around the house (so, that she wouldn't feel lazy), and to invite her boyfriend over for a small movie night. To which the two both deserved. It was 12:30 a.m, the Apple family were asleep, tucked in their beds. Applejack and Zephyr were sitting on the sofa. The warmth of the horse blanket was on their bodies, half eaten snacks and crushed soda bottles were on the wooden coffee table, and the couples eyes were upon the t.v, watching the screen. Zephyr had his arm around Applejack’s shoulder, he held her close against him. Applejack's head led against his shoulder, feeling the warmth feel of his skin. It’s been a few hours since they’ve started their night together. One by one, they took turns refilling the popcorn or drinks, and picking what movie to watch that was either comedic or otherwise romantic. Throughout their small night, it was going extremely well. Except for a few scares here and there, that Zephyr embarrassingly encountered, by at his words " he purposely" by jumping in his seat, or giving a few yelps that erupted from his yap. Zephyr gave a small yawn, the silents were around them were interrupted. Applejack looked up at him, then at the t.v again. “Tired Zeph?” She asked. “A bit,” he admitted, resting his head on top of her hat. He felt the warm material, his nose tingled by the scent from the material of her hat. “I was up all day today. I had to help Fluttershy with her animals at the animal shelter, and I had to do some of my homework before I arrived here.” A chuckle came from Applejack. “Well, that's good to hear. Taking some responsibility, and helping my friend. Good job, and thank you.” Zephyr nodded. "It's no problem, Apple." he said, giving a miniature sigh. He began to nuzzle her hat, and slowly wrapped his arms around her. His cheeks began to turn warm, then he closed his eyes. A small gasp came from her, feeling the soft pressure on her head. “Hey, um, Zephyr,” she asked, quietly she couldn't help but at this chuckle. “Hm?” he murmured. “You know I’m not a pillow. Right?” her lips then formed a smirk. “Yeah, I know," he admitted, his tone now became flirty. "but you’re very comfortable and warm. You remind me of a cloud from Heaven above.” This made Applejack roll her eyes, but she agreed to his statement. “Alright then. You can lay on me, but when I’m tired like you, I’m gonna use you as a pillow.” she flirtatiously said back. Applejack's cheeks slowly turned warm, which made Zephyr chuckle again. She closed her eyes, a smile slowly grew on her lips, as she began to nuzzle him back. She felt the warmth and love from her boyfriend. The prideful Breeze, she knew and will forever be the apple to her eye. The End //-------------------------------------------------------// Small Four Paragraph Scene #1 (Hug) //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note (December 23rd 2021, gave it a quick edit to fix some mistakes.) Small Four Paragraph Scene #1 (Hug) Applejack was in the kitchen that evening, washing the dishes from the dinner her, her family and her boyfriend had. She knew deep down that it was another successful date her and Zephyr had, the Apple family were in the living room watching the t.v. It was 7:00 p.m that nightfall, no signs of the crystal white moon nor twinkling stars filled the night, but dark clouds hovered the darken sky. The sound of howling filled the air, the wind gusting harshly upon Sweet Apple Acres, and the Autumn leaves fell upon the grass, while the colors of each leaf filled with coming reds or half yellows and greens. Zephyr was in the kitchen with Applejack, throwing away the scraps of chicken legs or non-eaten foods they had tonight. When they first began their chore, Zephyr decided to give a few chicken bones to Wiona, which the female farmer thought it was a kind gesture. Then he gave each plate, fork, and knife to his girlfriend, which she carefully washed each dish. The prideful breeze gave the last plate to Applejack, she gave him a smile, and he did the same. The warm water continually splashed upon Applejack's hand, using her sponge to remove any grease stain or any nook and cranny of small food specks, to which suds formed again as it gave a scent of Spring daisies. While she resume her chore, Zephyr continued to look at his girlfriend. He truly loved everything about her, from her personality, her looks, how hard to get she plays, and how her honesty was always the best policy. He couldn't help but feel his cheeks becoming hot, his eyes slightly grew from the attraction, and he could slowly feel his heart thump. He leaned to the side of the counter, his arm went upon it as he leaned his head against his hand. Seconds later, she placed the final utensil into it's right places, she closed the water and she slowly placed the sponge in the holder. She slowly turned her head towards Zephyr, she noticed that he was looking at her. A small chuckle came from the farmer, after she crossed her arms. "Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked, curving a brow. A soft long sigh came from the male, after he slowly took a whole her hands, causing the farmer to unfold her arms from his gentle touch. "Oh nothing," he said, pulling her close. He began to wrap his arms around the country girl, as he gave her a hug. "I just wanted to, say, that I love you. And that I love everything about you." Applejack's cheeks began to turn warm, she couldn't help but smile more. She slowly wrapped her arms around him, to which she embraced the hug she was in. "Sugar cube, you know I feel the same with you too." she said, her eyes closing. "Is that true?" he whispered, his eyes closing as well, his head leaned slightly against her hat. "Yes, of course. I love you for everything as well. But, I still feel like you should improve more of yourself." she responded back, which caused him to chuckle a bit, agreeing to her statement. The End
