The Applejack of My Eye

AN: What is this? A new chapter?! What kind of witchcraft is this? Just kidding but after reading through the comments and getting a great story idea from Braveheart106 I have decided to change this one-shot into a multi chapter story. I hope that my pacing has greatly improved in this chapter and that you all enjoy this story and please point out any grammar or spelling issues i made. This takes place three months after the first chapter.

Applejack was walking through the streets of Ponyville with a saddlebag on looking frantically around for something. Nice going there AJ. How could I have forgotten that Applebloom's birthday is tomorrow? What kind of big sister am I? Applejack was trying to think of something meaningful that she could get Applebloom for her birthday but couldn't come up with anything. What should I get her? A new bow? A kite? Soap? She resisted the urge to facehoof at the last thought. Yeah that's exactly what I should get my fillyfriend for her birthday. She ultimately decided that she could get a new bow for her as she started her way over to Rarity's workshop.

After three months since that fateful night, the two sisters had been dating secretly not telling anypony except for Rarity, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. There were a few close calls whenever they tried to have another nice date like the first one that they had but every week since then they would go back to the gorgeous place that Applejack had shown Applebloom and would have a nice picnic followed by watching the stars as they cuddled together. Applejack smiled warmly thinking back to that first night when they had revealed their feelings for each other and how special it was to her.

Once she got to the door she knocked several times as she waited for the unicorn to let her in. After a few minutes the door opened granting her access. Walking in, Applejack noticed all of her friends standing still near the middle of the workroom while Rarity was redesigning what looked like all of their Gala dresses.

"Hurry up I have to go work on some new moves to show to the Wonderbolts. The next auditions are in a week," Rainbow Dash said impatiently gaining a quick poke of a needle from Rarity.

"Well if you would be patient then maybe this would go quicker," Rarity remarked as she continued working on the dress until she heard a small cough from behind her. She turned around to see Applejack standing with a bit of a confused look.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh hello there Applejack. Well since the next Gala is coming up soon, I thought that I could make everyone's dresses more gorgeous. If you like, I could work on your dress as well," Rarity offered.

"Thanks but I'm fine. I just came to see if you could make something for me but it looks like your hooves are pretty busy at the time so maybe I'll come back later."

"Oh nonsense Applejack, if I can make six brand new dresses from scratch in just one day then I think I can fix up five dresses and do a small side favor. Now what is it that you needed?"

"Ug come on," Rainbow complained once again causing Twilight to nudge her.

"Stop complaining Rainbow or I'll never let you borrow anymore Daring Doo books," Twilight said causing Rainbow to stop complaining as she stood still with a pout.

"Well I just wanted to get a nice new bow for Applebloom for her birthday tomorrow," Applejack explained.

"Is that it? Well that's no problem at all dear Applejack. Now how has Applebloom been doing lately?" Rarity asked with a wink that only Applejack saw causing her to slightly blush.

"She's been doing pretty good."

"Ooh speaking of Applebloom did you girls know that she has a very special somepony?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly wanting to join in the conversation.

"How do you know that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"A couple days ago she, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo came to Sugar Cube Corner to try out my newest cupcake recipe and Applebloom seemed a lot more cheerful than usual and that's saying something considering how happy she's been for the past few months. Anyway she said that she was super excited because her birthday is coming up soon and she said she couldn't wait to get something from her special somepony," Pinkie explained quickly.

"Isn't Applebloom a little bit young to have a special somepony?" Twilight asked.

"Of course not, anypony can fall in love even as a kid. But seeing her so happy talking about her own special somepony makes me want to have one. What about you Dashie?" Pinkie asked with a big smile.

Everypony knew about the crush that Pinkie had on the daredevil for over a year, well everypony except for the oblivious Rainbow Dash herself who never once picked up on her hints. Rainbow simply shrugged, "Maybe if I find the right pony. What about you Applejack? Do you have a coltfriend?"

"No I don't have one and I'm really not looking to have one anytime soon," Applejack said honestly but a bit nervous now that they were all talking about special someponies.

"Um are you okay Applejack?" Fluttershy asked with concern. "You seem sort of nervous for some reason."

"Oh I'm fine Shy, but how could I be nervous if there's nothing to be nervous about? I just need a bow from Rarity for Applebloom's birthday and I can go on my way."

"Okay now I know that you're hiding something. You do know how bad of a liar you are right AJ?" Rainbow asked not buying what the farmer was saying.

"Ooh do you have a secret coltfriend? Cause if you do I can throw you both a huge party with cake, streamers, a piñata, cupcakes, pin the tail on the pony, and punch" Pinkie said giddy to have a reason to throw a party.

"No I really don't have a coltfriend but I appreciate the offer anyway."

"Okay then do you have a marefriend?" Pinkie asked getting strange looks from Twilight and Rainbow. "What, it's just a question. So do you AJ?"

Applejack was now beyond nervous. The door is only a little bit behind me. If I walk slowly enough then maybe I can avoid having to answer.

"I don't think that it's any of our business to know who Applejack fancies, whether it be a stallion or a mare. And if she has a special somepony then she can tell us when she sees fit" Rarity said trying to cover up for her friend who now felt a bit guilty.

These are my best friends and I can't trust them with this? If Applebloom's friends were supportive of her then my friends should too. "Thanks Rarity but they're all my friends and I shouldn't have to lie to them."

"Are you sure?" Rarity asked concerned.

Applejack simply nodded as she mentally prepared herself for what she was about to do. "Yes Pinkie, I do have a marefriend."

"Aww that's so sweet. So who is it? Is it Firefly? Surprise? Wind Whistler? Minty?" Pinkie asked curious.

"Sweet?" Rainbow asked. "Applejack is dating another mare and you think it's sweet?"

"Rainbow I'll admit that it's a bit strange but it's her decision not ours. So who is it?" Twilight asked.

Applejack gulped loudly as she began to get cold hooves. Maybe I shouldn't do this. Rainbow Dash is already against it and Twilight seems  somewhere in the middle and neither of them even know who it is yet. No you can do this AJ, they're still your friends and they'll support you. After what felt like years to the farm pony, she finally managed to say just two words, "It's Applebloom."

For a moment nopony said anything as they processed what Applejack had just said. She looked at each of their faces to try and see what they were thinking; Fluttershy seemed to mostly just have a very surprised look on her face, Pinkie had the same thoughtful look that she had whenever she was planning a party, Twilight seemed to be shocked with a small bit of disgust, but Rainbow looked like she had been smashed by a boulder before she started to laugh.

"Haha that's a good one Applejack. Dating your little sister, that's probably one of the best pranks I've ever seen. You got us all good." Her laughter was only met by a glare from the farmer who was showing that she was dead serious.

"Wait just one flying feathered minute," Rainbow Dash said angrily. "You actually are dating Applebloom? Your little sister? What in the hay is wrong with you? You're like twice her age and you're sisters!"

"Rainbow Dash, it's her decision of what she does in her life not yours. If she cares about her sister in that way, then there is nothing we can do except for support her as friends," Rarity said only getting a scoff from the pegasus.

"Well maybe I would support her if it wasn't for the fact that it's her little sister that she's dating. Applebloom is just a little kid and Applejack is a full grown mare and her sister. Why would I support her dating a little kid?" Rainbow asked with venom in her tone.

"Because you're one of my best friends and because of that I thought that I could trust you with it and that you would support me and be there for me as a friend. I care about her and that's that," Applejack said matching Rainbow's glare.

"Yeah come on everypony, we shouldn't be arguing. What we should be doing is planning a party for them to celebrate," Pinkie said only to be met by a still angry Rainbow.

"Celebrate what? That Applejack is dating a kid? I think I'll pass," Rainbow said as she ditched her dress. "Go ahead and make all the excuses that you want Applejack but I will never support something disgusting like this. I'm going to be practicing my new tricks, when you need some sense knocked into you then you'll know where to find me." And with that Rainbow Dash opened the door and soared swiftly into the sky.

"Applejack I'm sorry but I have to agree with Rainbow on this one. It's just not right, she's only a child AJ" Twilight said as she headed out of the boutique herself.

Applejack let out a sigh already regretting having told her friends the truth. "If it means anything Applejack, even though it is a bit strange I'll still be there for you. If that's okay with you that is," Fluttershy said.

"Thanks Shy," AJ said still upset that two of her best friends hadn't supported her.

Rarity used her hoof to pat her on the back. "Don't worry about Rainbow, she's just being stubborn."

"Yeah I'm sure that she and Twilight will come around eventually. But in the mean time how about we start planning your party," Pinkie exclaimed while Applejack put on her best smile.

"Thanks Pinkie but I don't think I'm in the mood for a party right now."

"Oki doki loki, but I'm still going to throw you a huge party once you feel better. Ooh speaking of parties, I should throw Applebloom a huge birthday party tomorrow. I could have lots of yummy cupcakes and invite everypony in town. Could you come please?" She asked giving her best puppy dog face.

"Alright we'll be there," Applejack said knowing Pinkie wouldn't give up until she agreed; plus how could anypony say no to Pinkie when she made that face?

"Yes. Don't worry Applejack, I'll make it the best birthday party that she's ever had."

"Alright now just wait here while I make that bow you wanted," The fashion pony said before heading off to find materials in her room.

"So how long have you and Applebloom been together?" Fluttershy asked.

"About three months. I'm still not sure if the bow will be good enough of a present to give Applebloom though."

"I'm sure she'll love it. It is from her special somepony after all," Fluttershy assured.

"Yeah but if you wanted to get her another present then maybe you should try and get her something that you know that she wants," Pinkie offered.

Applejack thought for a few moments until an idea formed in her head. Something that she really wants. Of course.

After a few more minutes Rarity walked back into the room with a small wrapped box levitating in front of her. "Alright I have put the finishing touches on it and I'm absolutely sure that she'll love it."

"Thanks Rarity, I owe you one." Applejack placed the box inside her saddlebag as she headed back to the farm taking note of the time as she looked at the clock tower. Alright I have a couple hours before she gets out of school. That should be enough time to get this ready. I really hope that this works.

AN: I was going to have this chapter include the present but I'm going to put it in the next chapter because I am just too lazy right now. Anyways question time: What is Applejack's idea? Will Rainbow Dash and Twilight ever accept AJ and Applebloom's relationship? Will the party Pinkie throws for Applebloom be a success? The answers to these questions will be revealed...

Right now. She's going to destroy the CMC clubhouse, sometime during the last half of the story, and OH MY NO!
