My Little Jealousy: Friendship Was Magic

My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic

Chapter 6: Complicated

''Hey!'' Pinkie Pie called. ''Look, Applejack! Rainbow Dash and Soarin finally had their first kiss, and in front of us as well! Aw, this is so romantic!'' The pink pony dreamily sighed.

In the meantime, Applejack's eye was twitching and her heart was sinking. She trotted away from the apple cart with tears, making her tail hit the apples to fall over the ponies. The ponies yelled in horror.

''Applejack!'' Pinkie Pie called, running after her with concern. ''Wait!''

The couple soon pulled away from their loving embrace and saw the apple cart in total wreck. Rainbow Dash and Soarin both glanced at each other and back at the apple cart.

Meanwhile, the cowgirl ran towards her barn and stormed inside. She escalated up the staircase for nopony in her family in the kitchen to see her with tears.

''What has gotten into that pony?'' Granny Smith questioned. ''Bargin' in and not watchin' where she is goin'?''

''Uh,'' Apple Bloom uttered. ''I think I just saw tears comin' out from her eyes.''

''Since when does that varmint cry?!'' the elderly mare exclaimed.

Big Mac and Sugar Belle glanced at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

''Well,'' the stallion said, touching his wife's hoof, ''she did cry at our weddin'.''

''That was different!'' Granny Smith stated. ''That was liquid pride.''

''Somepony has to go up there!'' Apple Bloom insisted.

Granny Smith volunteered.

The southern earth pony barged through her bedroom door and fell onto her pillow grudgingly. Whereas, the elderly mare trotted upstairs to approach her granddaughter. She knocked on the door gently but unfortunately, the young mare didn't hear. Granny Smith trotted inside and sat next to her granddaughter and patted her on the back.

Applejack's head perked up to her grandmother's caress.

''What's wrong, dear?'' the elder mare asked her with concern.

''I don't want to talk 'bout it,'' the cowgirl said as she turned her head the way.

''Then how are ya goin' to solve your problems,'' she said, ''if ya never talk 'bout it?''

''I don't have problems!'' she exclaimed.

The elder mare raised an eyebrow. ''Then why did ya storm inside with tears?''

''I wasn't cryin'!''

Granny Smith raised both of her eyebrows this time.

''Fine,'' Applejack sighed. ''I was outside sellin' apples and talkin' to Pinkie Pie at the same time when my friend Rainbow Dash and her boyfriend Soarin came by and shared their first ever kiss. I...I don't know what but when that happened, somethin' broke inside of me...I mean, I should be happy for them to have their first kiss for cryin' out loud!''

''Hmmm,'' the elderly mare rubbed her chin. ''Do you have feelings for this colt, Soarin?''

''No,'' she uttered. ''I barely even know him!''

''Okay,'' she said, ''it was just a theory, sugar. Did you feel jealous that they had their soulmates but you didn't?''

''I...No.''

She rubbed her chin. ''Are you somewhat in love with Rainbow Dash?''

The orange pony blushed in embarrassment. ''For Celestia sakes, Granny! Rainbow Dash is a girl!''

''I know, I know,'' she said, ''you have told me that many times before but do you like her even though you are both girls?''

''I...I...Why would you think that?''

''It happens, sugar. Like ya friends, Lyra and Bon Bon or Scootaloo's aunts!''

''Um...''

Luckily for her, the doorbell rang. The elder mare trotted downstairs to go answer it. Once she opened the door, there was a pink pony standing in front of her and blasted confetti in the air.

''Hi, Granny Smith!'' Pinkie Pie asked, ''is Applejack inside?''

''Oh,'' she said, ''sure! She is upstairs.''

''Okie Dokie Lokie!'' she exclaimed.

Pinkie Pie bounced inside and went up the stairs to go to Applejack's bedroom. She knocked on the door and behind the door, she heard that she can come in. She smiled and opened the door. She trotted inside and saw an earth pony sitting on her bed. She trotted up towards her and sat next to her.

''Hi,'' Pinkie Pie beamed.

''Hey...'' Applejack said monotonously.

''Are you okay?'' she said, caressing her on the back. ''You ran away from your apple cart job. Why was that?''

The southern pony sighed. ''Look, Pinkie Pie. I know you are a pony who likes to make everypony smile and laugh but I don't think you would...''

''Hey,'' she said, ''I know what will make you cheer up and make your frown upside down!''

She whistled for a stallion to come through her door. A yellow pony with brown poofy hair and green emerald eyes bounced into the room with balloons, streamers and confetti.

''Cheese will make you laugh!'' she bounced on over to him and slapped him on the back. ''As well as me! You ready, baby?!''

''You bet your horseshoes I am!''

The two couple both started making funny faces and blasting confetti. They all sprung around the room in crazy. Applejack had never once smiled and cuddled herself in the knees. Once the two ponies saw this, they stopped and frown.

''Um, okay?'' Pinkie Pie said and turned to her boyfriend. ''Maybe you should go back to Sugar Cube Corner, where I will comfort Applejack here.''

''Okay,'' he obeyed and trotted out the door.

Pinkie Pie turned to Applejack again and sat next to her.

''Now can you tell me what is bothering you?''

She huffed. ''Fine! It's stupid, okay? I ran away because of Rainbow Dash and Soarin!''

Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow. ''Why? Was it because they had a special somepony and you didn't?''

''That is exactly what Granny Smith said,'' she exclaimed, ''and the answer is no!''

''Then what?''

The cowgirl landed on her pillow and answered her question.

''I...I just had this strange feelin' when they...they...''

Pinkie Pie gasped. ''DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON SOARIN?!''

Applejack rolled her eyes. ''For cryin' out loud, no!''

Pinkie Pie sighed in relief. She thought about mares liking mares. It can happen. She had a crush on Rainbow Dash but since she realised she was straight by Twilight's help, she sort of lost feelings towards her and asked her out!

''Do you like Rainbow Dash?''

Applejack opened her mouth but closed it again. She then thought about it. Did she have feelings for her? Why else would she run away as Rainbow Dash kissed her coltfriend? She would always argue with Rainbow Dash but if she could tell the truth, she liked their arguments. She liked her presence and she liked her fun, though she didn't think she would have feelings for a mare.

''You know,'' Pinkie Pie explained, ''it can happen.''

''I...I'm not sure,'' said Applejack. ''Do I like her?''

''Hey,'' the pink pony said, ''I used to like Rainbow Dash too.''

The cowgirl widened her eyes. ''Really?!''

''Yeah,'' she responded, ''in fact, I had a crush on all of our friends, except you. Which is good because otherwise that would be weird since we are like seventy percent related.''

Applejack stood up from her position. ''What is wrong with me? Likin' a mare who is straight and already has a coltfriend? And we barely even get along!'' She landed her head on her pillow again.

Pinkie Pie caressed her back. ''Hey! What have I just told you about my secret?''

She sighed. ''How did you get over your crushes?''

''Well,'' she replied, ''I didn't even try, I just distract myself with yummy chocolate fondue!'' She licked her face in delight. The cowgirl got out a cloth from her drawer and wiped her mouth.

''Anyways, Pinkie Pie. You must not tell anypony or anycreature about this, understand?''

''Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a lollipop in my eye,'' she sang as she did the gestures.

Applejack raised an eyebrow at the new word she had put in.

''Oh,'' she chuckled. ''I added a new word in because lollipops are so much better than cupcakes.''

From the window, an angry Derpy knocked on the window. She mumbled words that was still possible to hear.

''Hey!'' she called. ''I thought I told you to add muffin in it!''

Pinkie Pie smiled nervously and quickly closed the curtains.

''Anyways, Applejack. I thought you had a crush on Spike!''

''What?''

''What do you mean what? You saved Spike from the timberwolves and then he made this thing called the dragon code and it means that he had to serve you forever but you didn't think it was right for him to handle things for you so you came up with this sick plan with us to pretend he is saving you from the timberwolves just like you did for him but he didn't buy it. Then after that a real timberwolf had came and actually attacked you but Spike managed to save you in time. Then a few weeks have passed and you felt love sick and blah, blah, blah...then you finally told your feelings towards him and shared a loving and magical embrace and had three kids: two of them were adopted and one of them you actually made with him.''

''Um, Pinkie?'' said Applejack. ''What are you talkin' 'bout?''

Pinkie Pie opened her mouth for a second but closed it again to process her brain into this world.

''Oh, right!'' she chuckled. ''Silly me! I forgot that I am not in DisneyFanatic23's alternate universe. Than I guess that explains why a changeling isn't living with us and Princesses Celestia and Luna aren't ruling Equestria still.''

''Anyways,'' said Applejack. ''I really need to get back to sellin' those apples.''

''Oh,'' she hissed. ''I don't think the ponies will be still in a line. In fact, I am pretty sure they are all gone now.''

''It is okay I guess,'' she sighed. ''I could always sell apples some other days.''

Meanwhile, Twilight was in her loungeroom in Canterlot so she could get some peace and privacy from being a princess. She would always rest here whenever she finishes her princess duties. Of course, back when she was the princess of friendship and she finished all of her duties, she would rest in her castle in Ponyville.

The thought of her reminding herself of her Ponyville friends broke her in the inside. At least, she still got her royal advisor, Spike, by her side as always.

Twilight shook herself out of her thoughts when a knock on the door occurred.

''Come in,'' she said.

A orange pegasus guard with wild blue mane stepped in.

''Princess,'' he bowed.

''No need for that, Flash.''

''Of course, Twi...light.'' It was difficult for him to not speak formal in front of a princess. ''What I mean to say is that your friends have came to visit you.''

This brought a upon her face. She was so glad to see them. She opened up her wings and flew outside the door, but then she came back to thank Flash for telling her, and for being a loyal guard. She soon then pecked him on the cheek. She chuckled and flew out the door again, leaving the guard faint on the ground with a upon his face.

''Girls!'' she called. ''I am so glad you are here! Where is Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy?''

Pinkie Pie bounced onto Twilight to hug her as tight as she could.

''I missed you so much!'' she sobbed a fountain of happy tears.

Applejack rolled her eyes and smiled.

''Fluttershy is looking after her animals at her sanctuary with the assistance of Discord, Rarity is busy working at her boutique with Apple Bloom and Rainbow Dash is too busy with her new boyfriend.'' She said the last part in grudging tone.

''Oh, okay,'' said Twilight. ''Two is better than none, right?''

''Right,'' Applejack agreed.

''Right!'' Pinkie Pie piped.

''What is with all the suitcases?'' asked Twilight, raising an eyebrow.

''Oh,'' Applejack chuckled. ''You didn't get the letter? We are staying with you for a few weeks for some quality time!''

''No,'' said Twilight. ''Really? This is awesome!''

''Ooh!'' Pinkie Pie piped. ''I am so excited to be staying here!''

''Your highness,'' Flash Sentry said, ''is it okay if I take these luggage's to...?''

''Oh,'' said Twilight. ''No need for that formality, Flash, and you don't need to do anything with them. I'll take care of them, in fact you can take a day off.''

''No,'' he couldn't believe his ears. ''Really?''

''Sure,'' Twilight smiled. ''After being loyal and meeting up the expectations of a royal guard, I think it is only fair.''

''Wow,'' he marvelled. ''This is amazing! Thank you!''

''Aw,'' she shook it off. ''Don't mention it.''

The pegasus flew off excitingly to the other way of the castle corridors.

''Wow,'' Spike came out of nowhere. ''Best princess ever?''

''Not so sure about that,'' the princess said with a sigh.

''What do you mean?'' the cowgirl questioned.

''It's nothing,'' she said. ''Come on. I'll take these bags to your room.''

''Oh,'' Pinkie Pie laughed. ''Princesses don't do that!''

The violet alicorn raised an eyebrow at her. ''Pinkie, I told you that I am not a princess whenever I am around my friends and besides...''

She sighed again.

''Are you sure you are alright, Twi?'' Applejack asked again.

Twilight lifted her head up. ''Of course I am. Now come on.''

She levitated the suitcases into the air with her magic and trotted to a room her friends could stay in.

''Twilight is a good friend,'' Pinkie Pie smiled at Applejack before bouncing after her other friend.

''She always was,'' the cowgirl stated, ''but Princess Celestia! Ugh!'' She trotted after her friends, and so did the baby dragon.
