Rotten Apples

The new ponies relationship was soon the talk on ponyville, everyone was talking about how the hardworking, orange earth pony was now going out with the witty, intelligent doctor unicorn. It was the front page in all of the ponyville papers and was a subject of virtually all the gossip in the town. Applejack decided to stay at the farm not wanting to be bothered by gossip ponies while Dr Stable took a day of work, instead staying in the comfort of his home and day dreaming of his beautiful Orange Marefriend and the experiences they shared. At about 8pm, under the soothing cover of darkness the doctor slowly but carefully left his home, not wanting to be spotted by even a single pony that might be patrolling at night. He carefully kept to the shadows till he saw his target, Sweet Apple Acres, he smiled trotting normally now, knowing that there would be no hostile ponies about here. He smiled as he slipped into the barn still keeping as quite as possible. Suddenly she felt a hoof grab hold of him and he yelped sharply.

“Shhhhhhhh.” The familiar voice whispered. “Did anypony see ya’ll come here.”

“No,” he whispered back, “It’s just me.”

Jonathan shielded his eyes as a bright light near him suddenly appeared; he smiled as he saw his beloved Applejack who was lighting a small candle.

“Sorry if it was a lil bright, but we want to see each other right.”

“Yes, especially if one of them is as beautiful as you are.”

Applejack went a bright red. “Oh shucks you are such a charmer Jonathan.” She approached him slowly and gave him a loving nuzzle, a little more affectionate then the ones previously, Jonathan lent in, feeling as if his heart was melting from the love he felt. Applejack smiled and retracted

“Err……I got us some supper.” He turned her head towards a small table that was furnished with two apple pies with hay fries laid around it. Jonathan smiled and nuzzled his mare friend lovingly. “That was extremely kind of you. Thank you.”

They sat on opposite sides on the table, talking as they ate about all that had happened in their lives and that days, they laughed, joked and flirted all through the night, Applejack still couldn’t believe though how quickly this unicorn had melted her heart. After they had eaten they rose and Jonathan yawned, he bowed and said his thanks, as he turned to leave Applejack rose her hoof smiling.

“Wait…….Can I quickly tell you something.”

Jonathan raised his eyebrows, curious at what his marefriend might say, he trotted up to her and stood there waiting for what she was going to say.

“Well…what is it Applejack.”

She smiled and leant in close and whispered in his ear. “I love you Jonathan, more than I’ll ever love any other pony. Jonathan smiled and warmly embraced her, kissing her like he hadn’t done to another in years, he hugged her and stroked her gently with his hoof to make her feel safe in his touch, Applejack did similar, trying as hard as possible to show her lover that she really did love him.  It soon became heated, and Applejack and pushed Jonathan onto a pile of hay and embraced him further stroking him all over, this continued until, due to fatigue they closed their eyes slowly, close to sleep. Jonathan, finally letting go his grief turned to Applejack

“You are the most beautiful pony I have ever loved……and you have done the impossible…you have made love from heart break, you have made delicious cider from bruised apples.”

Applejack smiled brightly and hugged her lover; they hugged onto each other for warmth, spending that night in the barn together, content with their own company.
