Apples and Clothing Part 2

"......Sweet Luna's moon I AM NOT WEARING THAT!! I'M A STALLION NOT A MARE!!!" Lyrical shouted. They were already in Rarity's boutique, where Lyrical was trying to escape the white coated mares store.

"Oh hush now, I only need you to wear one, had bad can it possibly be?" Rarity pulls back Lyrical with her magic, forcing him to stand still on a small block of wood. Before he could jump of, Lyrical shot a beam of magic at Lyrical. He immediately stood strait up on all his four hooves, perfect posture in order for Rarity to place the dress over him.

"Why can't I move the rest of my body!?" Lyrical panicked. He could only move his eyes and his mouth, nothing else. Rarity walked up to him, smiling. "I don't like being forced to do things Rarity. Besides, I usually slouch, and this position is VERY uncomfortable." Sweetie Belle was standing behind Lyrical, who was still trying to move. Rarity, using her magic, took of Lyrical's red stained hoodie, handing it to Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle, be a dear an-"

"OH SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THINGS THAT I CAN'T COME UP WITH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY!! I'M NAKED!!" Sweetie Belle took the hoodie from Rarity's grasp and threw it into a laundry basket. She giggled at Lyrical's outburst. Rarity raised a brow, confused at Lyrical's outburst.

"Lyrical, we're ponies, we're always naked." Rarity said. Lyrical, oblivious to Rarity's comment, continued his rambling. "I'M NAKED IN FRONT OF TWO PONIES! AND ONE OF THEM IS A FILLY!! HAVE YOU NO SHAME RARITY!?"

"Lyrical, like I said, ponies are always-"

"THIS IS MENTALLY SCARRING FOR SWEETIE BELLE!! SHE'LL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN! THIS SCENE IS NOW BURNED INTO HER MIND!! I'M SO SORRY!!"

"Lyrical, calm down. It's okay." Sweetie Belle cut in. "Besides,like my sister said, we're always nake-" She was interrupted by lyrical(attempting but failing) shaking his left foreleg.

"YOUR SISTER! IT'A HER FAULT! WHY RARITY WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR SISTER! SHE IS TO YOUNG FOR THIS!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Rarity rolled her eyes and stepped in front of Lyrical. "Come now Lyrical, you are just over reacting, now, be quite so I can-"

"NO! I WILL NOT BE SILENCED! HELP! HELP! THERE'S A MARSHMALLOW MARE FITTING ME INTO DRESSES AS HER TEST SUBJECT AND HER LITTLE SISTER HERE IS WATCHING!!"

"Lyrical.."

"HELP! HELP! I NEED AN ADULT! I NEED AN ADULT!"

"...You are an adult....." Sweetie Belle facehoofed.  She walks back behind Lyrical, ignoring his yelling. She stops however, staring at Lyrical's cutie mark. "Lyrical, what does your cutie mark mean?" Lyrical ceased his yelling. Glad, but confused at Lyrical's sudden silence, Rarity could not help but wonder as well. "It means he has a talent in rapping Sweetie, though I bet there is more to it, right Lyrical?"

".....Finish the dress Rarity." Lyrical said. His eyes were closed. Rarity raised a brow, and Sweetie Belle just stared at his mark. "Is something the matter darling?" Rarity said in concern.

"No..finish taking your measurements please." Lyrical said, opining his eyes. Rarity frowned a bit, clearly wanting to know what is wrong with the light brown stallion. "Lyrical,if there is anything wrong you can tell me, I am your friend of course."

Friend.

That word echoed in Lyrical's thoughts. He glared a bit at Rarity, but his eyes became watery in seconds. Sweetie walked away from Lyrical's mark, and walks up to Rarity. "What do you mean 'rapping'? Lyrical, what's...." She stops next to her sister, and a worried look came across Sweetie's face.

"Lyrical, why are you crying?" She said innocently.

If it wasn't for Rarity's freezing spell, Lyrical would've ran away from the boutique, ignoring all who were around him. He felt his tears running through his eyes,  water touching his cheeks. Lyrical calmed down, and gave a goofy grin. "I wasn't crying Sweetie, I was sweating through my eyes."

Rarity did not believe this at all. 'Sweetie Belle, I'm going to need you to go to the thread store and by some red thread." She brings a white bag and levitates three gold bits. "Here, now shoo, Lyrical and I need to talk."

Sweetie could not protest, she was already pushed out the door by Rarity's magic. She locks the door, and turns back to Lyrical. His goofy grin faded, and his brave act was vanishing as well. "Rarity, I'm not saying anything. There's nothing you can do to make me."

"Oh really?" Rarity walks to his right side, and gently pushes Lyrical. Slowly, he falls to the ground with a grunt, and an annoyed sigh. "Really Rarity? I'll admit, this posture is uncomfortable, but this ain't gunna get me to spill anything." Rarity sighed. She walks away, swishing her tail. "Have it your way then." She walks over to a light switch and turns off the lights. Every thing goes dark. Leaving Lyrical on the ground, she opens the door.

"Aye! Your just going to leave me here?" Lyrical says. Rarity turns around and gives him a smart-flank smile. "If I cannot get you to talk, I'm sure Applejack can. Ta Ta for now!" She closes the door behind her, locking it in the process.

Lyrical was alone, with only the light of the window to keep him company. He moves his pupils all around, and eventually stops. His eye sight stops at a tall, pale mannequin, wearing a slender black suit. Behind it, shadow's from other objects in the window's way created tentacle-like whips behind it. Lyrical's eyes widened.

"...Help me.."

Sweet Apple Acres

The big red barn.

Shadow Breeze walks into the barn. Nothing special about it, red on the outside and red inside. Applejack was laying down on a pile of hay, her stetson hat covering her eyes.

"She must be asleep." Shadow muttered. He slowly walks out, only to be stopped by a big red stallion. "Nope." He said. He grabs Shadow by the tale and tosses him back into the barn, landing in front of orange hooves.

"Can't escape escape that easily now can ya?" She snickers. Applejack pulls him up to his hooves, staring him strait in the eyes. "Now, your gunna tell me what gets you so down 'bout ya cutie mark." She forces Shadow into a wall, snouts only inches away. Shadow's face grows red, but Applejack doesn't care.

"A-Applejack, your in my per-personal space.." Shadow stutters.

"Ah don't care, now tell me 'bout yer past, all of it. Or big Mac over there's gunna be makin' you buck apple trees for a week.Non-stop." Shadow looks to the entrance to so Big mac standing there, eyes half closed.

"Eyup."

Shadow takes a deep breath, and exhales. "Fine, I'll tell you but can you back away please? I'm not so comfortable in this position." Applejack's face had a slight blush, but her glare still remained. She pushes Shadow into a pile of hay, while she stands, trying to intimidate him.

"Speak. Now." She says. Shadow takes another deep breath.

"It was night time when it happened. The night my dad-"

"Applejack are you in here? I need your help with a little problem."

Rarity walks in to see Applejack standing above Shadow Breeze. From their point of view, Applejack's hooves were just barely touching the hay pile, while Shadow laid on the hay. But for Rarity, her point of view showed a different style. Her smile before she walked in turned into a sly grin.

"Am, I interrupting something?"

Applejack turns around, glaring at Rarity. "Course you are! Shadow here was just about to tell me about how he got his cutie mark." Rarity raises an eyebrow.

"Really? I was just about to come and get you, Lyrical refuses to tell me about his cutie mark as well." At this, Applejack had a sly grin on her, and turns around to Shadow.

"Lets go visit your friend, partner." Applejack tosses nearby rope at Shadow, lassoing him into submission. She ties the rope tightly around his waist, so he couldn't fly away. "And you know what? Let's round up the other girls Rare. Ah'm sure they'd like to know how Lyrical and Shadow got their cutie marks."

Applejack lifts Shadow on her back. Shadow got a little bit red. Rarity noticed his blush and winked at him. This caused him to blush even more. "It's just to easy to make these colts blush, right Applejack?" Applejack turns around to Shadow's blushing face. She winks at him as well, making his grey, coat a crimson red.

"Eyup." She chuckles.

Shadow looks up to the skies, worried for his friend and himself. They never really liked talking about their Bro Marks. He can only hope Lyrical was prepared to spill the beans.
