Right in front of you

Caramel slipped on his vest.

"This is your chance mel...."

Caramel put on his armband.

"Its now or never......"

Caramel put on his special horseshoes.

"Time to make an impression......"

Caramel stepped out the door to his house and walked down the streets of Ponyville. He passed what looked like Thunderlane and Comet tail dressed in tactical looking outfits, but Caramel didn't have time to investigate further.

Caramel reached the door to Lucky's house. He knocked on the door.

"Coming!" Yelled Lucky.

Lucky answered the door wearing his black vest. He also was wearing a black headband.

"Hey Mel." Said Lucky.

"Its go time." Replied Caramel.

They both walked towards the direction of sweet apple acres.

They reached sweet apple acres. The other field hands stood around wearing their vests. Some of them wore hats or sunglasses. Caramel noticed the cutie mark crusaders pushing a covered object.

"Ill be right back." Said Caramel.

Caramel approached the three fillies.

"That your kart?" Asked Caramel.

"Yep." Replied Scootaloo.

"Were going to race it against the boy's kart." Added Sweetie belle.

"Would ya like to see it?" Asked Applebloom.

"Sure." Replied Caramel.

Scootaloo moved the tarp that was covering it, revealing that kart underneath it. It was blue with pink flames on it.

"Cool." Said Caramel.

Scootaloo covered it up again.

"We better get moving." Said Sweetie belle.

"Good luck with the harvest Caramel." Said Applebloom.

"Thanks."

The three pushed the kart as they left. Caramel noticed Applejack approaching the field hands a nd walked back to Lucky.

"Alright." Began Applejack. "Ya'll know what to do. Get one of your group hooked up to a wagon and head to your assigned area!"

Caramel and lucky looked at a nearby wagon that had several baskets loaded.

"Strap me in." Said Lucky.

Caramel helped hook Lucky up to the wagon.

"All set?" Asked Caramel.

"Yep." Replied Lucky.

Applejack approached the two.

"Lets go, Mah friend Pinkie is waitin fer us."

They walked towards the east orchard.

They reached the East orchard. Pinkie pie was humming a tune to herself and Pokey was sitting next to her.

"Pokey?" Asked Caramel.

"Hey Caramel." Said Pokey. "Pinkie thought It would be fun if I pitched In this year."

"The more the merrier i suppose." Said Applejack.

"Soarin is round here somewhere...." Said Pokey. "Probably in Rainbow dash's area."

Caramel unhitched Lucky from the Wagon.

"Nice to see you again Pokey." Said Lucky.

Lucky wasn't close to Caramel's group of friends, but he knew them enough to be friendly with them.

"Same." Replied Pokey.

The two shook hooves.

"Lets get started then." Said Caramel.

Caramel bucked an apple tree. The apples fell out and landed in the baskets set underneath it.

"How we doing Lucky?" Asked Caramel.

Lucky looked at the wagon, there were several baskets of apples loaded onto it.

"Its a good start." Replied Lucky.

Pokey loaded two more baskets onto the wagon.

"Have to say Mel." Began Pokey. "You make this look easy."

"Well Ive been doing this for years." Replied Caramel.

Lucky chuckled. Caramel turned his attention to Applejack who was helping Pinkie harvest apples from a tree.

"Shes something isnt she." Said Pokey.

"Huh?" Said Caramel.

"Pinkie. Shes something."

"Oh."

"Think shes the one Mel." Said Pokey.

"You mean your gunna....?" Began Lucky.

"Not today, But some time soon." Said Pokey. "Im gunna propose to her."

Lucky smiled.

"Go for it."

"We should get back to work." Said Caramel.

Pokey nodded and they resumed working.

Lucky pulled the wagon up to a group of unbucked trees, Caramel walked up to him.

"Were making good time." Said Caramel.

"And your doing a good job leading." Added Lucky.

Pinkie pie approached the two.

"Wow we are doing great!" Said Pinkie.

Pinkie's front left hoof began to shake.

"Your hoof is...." Began Lucky.

Pinkie looked at her hoof.

"Pinkie sense?" Asked Caramel.

"Shaky left hoof means that somepony I know just slipped a laxative in another pony's lunch! But who....."

Applejack and Pokey approached holding baskets in their mouths. Applejack set hers on the ground.

"We can figure that out later. Right now we got apples to buck." Said Applejack.

Caramel began to grab empty baskets from the wagon and set them under the trees.

It took several hours, but they were finished. The east orchard was harvested.

"Glad thats done." Said Applejack, whipping sweat from her forehead.

"Think the others are done?" Asked Caramel.

"Maybe." Replied Applejack.

Lucky began walking the wagon of apples towards the barn.

"Funny thing is, this is the first time something didn't go wrong with your end of the harvest. "

"Guess I was lucky this year." Said Caramel.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

Luckt stopped on a hill and looked around.

In the distance the ponies could see a rainbow colored mushroom cloud.

"The hay?" Muttered Pokey.

"Gggrrrr ah told Rainbow dash not to do that during the harvest!" Yelled Applejack.

Suddenly there was a snapping noise.

The straps holding Lucky to the wagon broke, causing it to roll downhill right at Applejack.

Applejack was so distracted that she didn't notice the wagon rolling towards her.

"Applejack!" Yelled Caramel.

Applejack turned to look at Caramel.

"What is it Cara-"

Applejack saw the wagon rolling at her. She didn't have enough time to jump out of the way.

"NO!" Yelled Caramel.

Camel rushed towards Applejack and pushed Tackled The orange mare out of harms way.

The wagon rolled into a tree, stopping it.

"Holy guacamole." Said Pinkie.

"Aj you alright?" Asked Caramel.

"Y-yeah...... You can get off me now."

Caramel noticed he was still on Applejack.

"Oh sorry."

Caramel got up and helped Applejack up. Lucky rushed over to the two.

"Im so sorry Applejack." Began Lucky. "I didnt-"

" it wasn't yer fault." Interrupted Applejack. "Ah thought ah checked the straps on the wagons yesterday."

Pokey looked at the wagon.

"Apples look ok." Said Pokey.

"Thats good." Said Caramel. "Can you use magic to pull it?"

"Yeah, just give me a sec." Said Pokey.

Applejack looked at the spot where the the rainbow mushroom cloud was.

"Ah have a few things to say to Rainbow Dash." Muttered Applejack.

Once they brought the wagon back, Pinkie and Pokey started unloading the apples while Applejack gave Rainbow dash a strict talking to.

The other field hands were finished and went home to prepare for the party, leaving only Lucky and Caramel. The two stallions were in the farmhouse drinking a glass of apple cider. Sitting near them was Granny smith and Big mac.

"You two did a good job this year." Said Big Mac.

"Thanks." Replied Caramel.

"You two should be proud of yourselves." Added Granny smith.

"It was our Pleasure." Said Lucky.

"Hope ya do as well next year." Said Big Mac.

Caramel finished his Cider.

"I got to get going right now." Said Caramel. "See you tonight."

"Later." Said Lucky.

"Dont forget to take off the vest and armband." Said Big Mac.

Caramel Slipped off the vest and Armband and set both on the table nearby. Then he trotted outside.

"You did a great job today." Thought Caramel.

"Hold up Mel." Called a voice.

Caramel stopped and turned. Applejack was approaching him.

"Aj."

"Ah wanted to congratulate you on yer job well done today." Said Applejack. "Ya didn't make a single mistake."

"Thanks."

"And ah wanted to Thank you..... Fer saving me."

Caramel blushed slightly.

"I-it was nothing." Replied Caramel.

Caramel rubbed the back of his head. In the back of his head he heard a voice calling to him.

"Kiss her Mel, she'll fall in love with you right here."

"Is something wrong Caramel?" Asked Applejack.

"No... Im alright." Replied Caramel.

"Right here, Show her how you feel. Right on the lips. She'll dump Vineyard and jump into your arms."

Caramel took a step towards Applejack.

"Ah knew there was a reason Granny smith put ya in charge of the East orchard." Said Applejack.

The voice in Caramel's head shouted louder.

"DO IT!!!!!!!!"

Caramel closed his eyes and pressed his lips against Applejack's. He didnt care what happened next, or weather or not it was a good idea to begin with, his mind was a complete blank. Her lips tasted like sweet apples and he loved it. As Caramel slowly opened his eyes, not breaking the kiss for a single second, he realized something.

She wasn't kissing back.

Her eyes were wide open, filled with shock. Caramel quickly broke off the kiss and took a step back.

"Aj I am so sorry!" Said Caramel in a panic.

"Ca-Caramel?" Said Applejack.

Caramel was really worried now.

"Its.... I was wrapped up in the mood and....."

"Caramel, why did you-"

"I LOVE YOU!" Shouted Caramel.

The shock left Applejack's eyes. Both ponies were blushing so much that you could almost mistake them for Big mac.

"You.... You love me?"

Caramel felt like he was standing in a minefield.

"I-I do Applejack, I really do." Replied Caramel.

Applejack lowered her head.

"Mel...... Im with Vineyard....... Im sorry."

Caramel felt as if His whole world was shattering around him.

"She doesnt........" Thought Caramel.

That was the third time his Heart broke.

Tears began to fall from his eyes. He ran, he ran as fast as he could towards ponyville, all he wanted was to be alone. Applejack kept looking at Caramel until he vanished from sight.

"Im so sorry Caramel......" Muttered Applejack.

And so Caramel died alone the end. Just kidding. I still got one last chapter left.

Anyways sorry about the wait, I was distracted by Assassins creed.

Also I started a new story Called Growing Together. Its About Thunderlane and Blossomforth so You all should totally check it out.

See you in the finale! (Unless you also read the Stars in the sky, cuz I'll see those guys in ch 9)

BUT WAIT THERES MORE!

Applejack sat on a log outside of the barn, thinking about what Caramel Said.

"Ah hope ah Didn't hurt him too much." Muttered Applejack.

She began to think about the Caramel stallion, about the night they first met, her first kiss.

"It was foals being foals..... Nothing serious.... Right?"

Her train of thought was cut off by a loud crashing noise.

"The hay!?" Yelled Applejack.

She noticed a grey mass surrounded by the remains of a bale of hay.

"Oh darn it!" Yelled the mass.

The mass got up, revealing itself to be a grey pegasus mare with a blonde mane and tail, yellow crossed eyes, and bubbles for a cutie mark. She carried a brown mailbag with her.

"Ditzy?" Asked Applejack.

The pegasus Ditzy doo, or as some called her Derpy looked at Applejack.

"Hey Applejack!" Said Ditzy enthusiastically. "I didn't break anything did I?"

Applejack chuckled lightly.

"Just that bale of hay, but thats fixable." Said Applejack.

"Thats good."

Ditzy reached into her mailbag as Applejack raised an eyebrow.

"We already got the mail this morning." Said Applejack.

"I know." Replied Ditzy. "But this is a high priority letter from Canterlot."

She took out an envelope and handed it to Applejack.

"No return address." Said Applejack, examining the letter.

"Well its been nice seeing you, but I got to get home." Said Ditzy. "Bye!"

With that the grey pegasus flew off into the sky. Applejack looked at her letter.

"Who could be sending me mail all the way from Canterlot?" Thought Applejack. "And why is dis high priority?"

Applejack decided to find out. She opened the letter and silently read it to herself. The further she read into the letter, the more shocked she became.

"No....... Ah cant believe...... This cant be..."

She dropped the letter onto the ground and lowered her head. Slowly the tears came.

"Why....."
