Cowboys and Angels

    After a long day of apple-bucking at Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac was ready to hit the hay, literally, for Applebloom was having a sleepover tommorow and the hay in the barn needed to be stacked up in the corner. As he turns around the corner he spots Fluttershy walking towards him with a basket of apples. "Uh ummm, hey Big Mac, have you had a good day?" Fluttershy asked shyly. "Eeyup," Big Mac replied in his usual manner. He wanted to say more but his mind was blank and he couldn't think of anything. "Well goodbye Mac..." Fluttershy said walking away in a quiet manner, "See you later, I mean... if that's okay with you." Big Mac giving a small smile said, "Eeyup"

        As Fluttershy went on he felt a strange feeling in his stomach he couldn't explain and he felt sad. Shaking his head he goes on remembering what he's supposed to be doing. As he arrives at the barn he spots Applebloom running around inside. "Alright Applebloom, you need to go somewhere else and play, I need to clean up in here for your sleepover," Big Mac said to the little philly in a kind, gentle tone. Suddenly, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo fall off a pile of hay and gawk at Big Macintosh, never having heard him say more than a word before. Applebloom was unaffected because although Big Mac is shy around most ponies, he has never had a problem talking to the rest of the apple family.

            "Did you just say a whole SENTENCE?!?" Scootaloo asks doubtfully. "Eeyup," Big Mac replies. "Are you going to say another one?" Sweetie Belle asks hopefully. "Eenope," he replied with a grin. Realizing that he wouldn't change his mind the gang left the barn to Macintosh. He quickly put up all the hay and passed out on the last bundle, figuring he deserved a nap. He was sitting on the tallest hill in the orchard where the lone apple tree stood. He turns to see Fluttershy giggling sweetly. She leans toward him, closer and closer. He could feel her breath on his lips then …"Big Mac! Yall in here?" Applejack yelled into the barn. He stands up fully comprehending what just happened. "You okay sugarcube? What you sleepin in here for?" Applejack asked. " Im fine Applejack, I was just tired and the hay looked inviting." Big Mac responded quickly. "You sure your ok? Your face is real red." "Everythings fine Applejack, I swear im okay," he replies defensively. "You know your a crappy lier Mac, but if you won't tell me i can't make yah," Applejack replies walking out the door.

         Big Mac couldn't help but to fret over what happened and was giving it deep thought. 'Why did I just dream that? Sure Fluttershy is a nice enough mare but I don't have feelings for her. I mean she does have beaughtiful eyes and a pure face that gives her a look of complete innocense, and she IS rather adorable when she laughs. And she's really shy in a sweet way. I wish I could be more like her, able to work through my fears and talk to people anyway.' Shakes his head vigorously, 'But I dont have a silly little crush on    Fluttershy, ooh the dinner bell, Im starving.' He thinks finally pulling himself from his thoughts.

     Later that night after going to sleep, he was in Canterlot right in the center of the gardens. Fluttershy was sitting in front of him, hundreds of birds complementing her beaughty.   She leans closer this time engulfing him in a kiss... it felt so great so right when " Hey lover boy, breakfast is ready, hope your pillow is ok with you leaving her," Applejack calls teasingly. At this he jumps up rather quickly and blushed. Applejack asked   sweetly, " Who were you dreaming about sugarcube?" After she saw he wouldn't reply  she began to list names to know prevail, "Twilight? Maybe you got a crush on Cheerilee after that whole incedent? Rarity? Pinkie-Pie? Rainbow Dash?" After awhile she realizes how he acted after Fluttershy left, "Maybe, just maybe, you have a crush on sweet little Fluttershy?" At this Macintosh blushed furiously, rolling over and going back to sleep. Applejack smiled on her discovery, and left him to get ready.

         "Twilight ahm tellin ya Big Mac is in love with our sweet little Flutters and we need to find out how she feels," Applejack explained to her bookish friend. "That would explain alot, she told me she had a crush on a certain stallion shy as her," Twilight explained to her friend. "Well what are we going to do? Theyre both to shy to ever admit it to eachother," Applejack said wanting to help her friend and brother. "Well I have an idea get Big Mac here just before moonlight." Twilight said slightly mischiviously. Later that night Big Mac arrives at the library, being told by his sister Twilight needed a large amount of heavy books to be moved and she couldn't do it herself. After entering he felt his hooves being held down and his mouth being gagged by magic. "Hey Big Mac, sorry about the bindings but i needed to make sure you'd hear me out," Twilight said walking out of the shadows. He could see someone across the room...Fluttershy?!? "You've been hiding a secret, and your to shy to admit it yourself. I would like to place a spell on you that will let you share your emotions, but if you don't want to I will erase both your memories and return you home. Do you want me to put the spell on you?" Twilight asked. Big Mac seeing his chance to admit how he feels nod his head slowly. Twilight's horn glowed brightly flashing in a bust of pink light. The bonds are removed and Mac pulls a guitar out of nowhere with skills to match Pinkie's and begins to sing.

"There's a want and there's a need

There's a history between

Girls like her and guys like me

Cowboys and angels

I've got boots and she's got wings

I'm hell on wheels and she's heavenly

I'd die for her and she lives for me

Cowboys and angels" Big Mac sing staring at the sky through the window. He then moves to the center of the library.

"We ride side by side

A cloud of dust, a ray of light

My touch is her temptation

Her kiss is my salvation

She's sweet, I'm wild, we're dangerous

Cowboys and angels" He continues to sing circling the room.

"I'm not sure why her path crossed mine

Accident or grand design

Maybe Celestia just kinda likes

Cowboys and angels" He sing as he now faces Twilight.

"We ride side by side

A cloud of dust, a ray of light

My touch is her temptation

Her kiss is my salvation

She's sweet, I'm wild, we're dangerous

Cowboys and angels" Big Mac sings out finally turning to Fluttershy who was tearing up.

"There's a want and there's a need

There's a history between

Girls like you and guys like me

Cowboys and angels" as Macintosh finishes he is knocked over as Fluttershy tackles him and they share a romantic kiss, better than any of the ones he dreamed about. The next morning Applejack asks, "How are you doing?" with a smirk. Big Mac replied almost immediately, " I'm doing great Applejack how about you?" as AJ lifts a mirror to his face half covered in pink lipstick.
