The Prettiest Mare

-//Flash Back//-

"Ugh!....what do ya want now?" she asked with a slightly annoyed tone in her voice while staring at the huge colt in front of her.

"I'm here to buy some apples from you, and to talk to you as well. Is that okay with you?" he answered her with a smile on his face though talking to her with a smooth tone of his voice even it was deep.

"Well Ah outta say that one 1 apples cost 2 bits. Depending on how many yall want, but ya know that Ah'll just decline ya anyway?" Little Mac said softly not wanting to be really rude to the nice colt in front of her since he wasn't one of the stallions that was hitting on her with lame pick up lines.

"I know I know.......I heard it from all the stallions here in Ponyville that your not interested in dating or marrying none of them. For me I just wanted to talk and get to know you, so what do you say? Just give me this one chance that I'm not like those other colts who hit on you?" Beast had asked her while giving her the puppy dog eye look which made Little Mac stare with her teeth grinding together.

She kept on staring not knowing what to do, but she had to admit that he is very cute doing that face towards her. Sighing softly with a shake of her head slowly she stared at the huge stallion "Fine!.......since yall weren't acting like those plot chasing horn dogs. Ah'll give ya a chance, but if Ah smell something fishy with ya Ah'll leave without hesitation." Little Mac exclaimed with a serious tone in her voice.

"I understand..........so tomorrow night at 7pm I'll pick you up okay? he asked hopefully still not wanting to mess it up.

"Yeah.........ya can pick me up in Sweet Apple Acres." she answered with a nod of her head.

"Okay cool, I'll do that then hehehe." he smiled a little bit while staring at Little Mac. He took his time looking at her, but shook it off by buying 10 apples for the day. Though Beast had a huge smile on his face as he started talking to himself "Yes!............I can't believe that worked........I'm the luckiest colt in Equestria." after all that he composed himself and started walking off towards the gym he worked out at.

Back with Little Mac at the stand selling her apples she was thinking to herself of why did she give him a chance, and saying yes to him "Ah'm going ta regret this. Ma sister ain't going to let this down on me." talking with a depressing sound in her voice which she had her head down.

-//Flash Back Ends//-

On the same day when Little Mac had been asked out on a date by Beast Boxer, she felt kind of silly saying yes to him which she haven't met him that well. While she was thinking to herself somewhere near by somepony was watching Little Mac from the sidelines snickering at the same time. If you look closer you could see Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity hiding behind a building not too far from where Little Mac was. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were giggling to themselves trying hard not to laugh out loud for Macareina to hear.

"Hehehehe.........Ah knew this will work hehehehe......Ah'm so gonna mess with my sister for this." Applejack said softly to her friends while rolling on the floor with a huge grin on her face.

"Oh come now darling!, you know this ain't funny to do this to your sister. But........I do gotta say it was a nice plan to help her find a special somepony." Rarity had a little smile on her face, but was kind of worried what might happen if Little Mac found out about this plan.

"Rarity.........I don't know what to say to you or think of what you just said right now. Back then you tried to hook up Fluttershy with Tank, and you seen what happen there." Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a deadpanned look.

At this point Rarity was shuddering to herself from thinking last year when she tried hooking up Fluttershy with Tank which the plan back fired. Making Fluttershy scared for her life of dating any stallions that are way bigger than her, and seriously muscular too. "Yeah, I know I did something wrong there and I did say sorry to Fluttershy, but I was trying to help the poor dear. She looked lonely without a special somepony."

"Doesn't matter really at least you learned your lesson there, because I believe you should of left her alone so she can find a special somepony on her own really. Though I don't know why I am talking about this bucking-loving-mushy stuff anyway. I should be practicing my moves for the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow Dash flapped her wings trying to show off in front of her friends, but they weren't even paying attention to her.

From seeing her friends not paying attention to what she just said Rainbow Dash found a corner sulking with sadness while dark shadows or clouds hovering around her, even she was pawing at the dirt too "I can't believe they just bucking ignored me there." she mumbled to herself with anime tears running down her cheeks.

When the time went by until it was the afternoon Little Mac had a really tired look on her face feeling frustrated with all the males surrounding her with some more lame pick up lines, and trying to court her still. She kept on saying no to them which they couldn't get that stuck into their hard heads. Anyway Little Mac was walking back towards Sweet Apple Acres from finishing selling her apples for the day, but was so caught up thinking about Beast asking her out on a date. Wondering why she said yes to him still, but shook her head a bit to clear her mind from it.

"Well........it seems Ah need a hot bath to clear this darn frustration." she mumbled to herself as she drags the wagon behind her.

Few hours had past since she left Ponyville and made it to her home she already put up the wagon and stand into the barn for tomorrow so she can sell apples again. Trotting towards the door of her house she meets Granny Smith in the kitchen cooking some lunch. Without bothering her granny she went upstairs towards the bathroom, and started up the hot bath. Once the bath was filled almost to the top she slowly got into the hot bath water with soft sigh, and moaned a little feeling the soreness washing away from her body.

"Ahhhh...........Ah'm glad Ah took a hot bath right now. Though........just thinking about Beast, he kind of looked handsome this morning. Ugh!..........what am Ah saying, and Ah can't believe Ah'm thinking about that big brute!" dunking her head into the hot water quickly for a second and bringing it back up with another sigh to herself.

Two hours had passed since she was in the hot bath tube laying there trying to clear her mind from all of the irritations and frustrations earlier that day. Taking her sweet time bathing herself in the tube she hear a knock at the door "Big sis it's time for lunch now." Applebloom called to Little Mac through the door.

"Ah'll be down in a minute Applebloom." Little Mac called back to her little sister, and waited until she heard her leaving downstairs.

The next day had came swiftly which made Little Mac feel a little more frustrated knowing she's gonna have to go out on a date with Beast Boxer. She wasn't looking forward to it, but made her mind up by just getting through it and start working back on the farm again. She wanted to finish and worry about the farm instead of going on some random date, even she just met the colt too. Little Mac kept on thinking about Beast which she couldn't get him out of her mind, but the thing is that keeping her calm was bucking the apples of the trees. Keeping up with the chores ahead of schedule and taking her frustration out on the tree without breaking it seemed a goof idea for her.

As this was happening Applejack was sitting on the porch drinking some water while watching her sister buck the apple trees, even she has a evil smirk on her face knowing what her sister's going through. After finishing her water she set the cup down on a stool, and started walking towards Little Mac "Hey Big Sis!...........Ah came over here to see how ya doing, but Ah could see your angry for some reason. Care to explain to me why are ya taking out on tha trees?" Applejack asked softly with concern in her voice even though she was smirking on the inside.

"Well.......ya know that big stallion named Beast Boxer.? He asked me on a date which I don't know why he asked me, but Ah did said yes for some reason." Little Mac banged her head against a tree through gritted teeth.

"Hmm, Ah I see what ya mean sis, but Ah think ya should date this fella. It would help ya to find a special somepony anyway" Applejack smiled widely at this while tilting her head to the side.

Little Mac stared with a raised eye-brow towards her little sister having a feeling something wrong was there "Are ya sure little sis? Are ya trying to pull anything on this hmm? It seems very fishy of this stallion to ask me out on a date." she asked with a demanding tone.

"Why would Ah do that Mac? Ya know Ah'm not the romantic-mushy type stuff. Rarity is the one who controls that department." Applejack reassured her sister.

While in a different locating a white coated mare with purple mane and tail was busy making some of her dresses until sneezing very loud "Ooooo.........I bet it was a handsome stallion thinking about me!" Rarity smiled widely with glee.

Mac just shook her head with a slightly sigh to herself feeling the frustration taking over her, but shrugged it off like she always does though still thinking about how Beast looked in pony that time yestarday morning when she sold him some apples. A few times she did thought about going out with the big brute, but shaking it off while she kept telling herself that working on her farm is more important than dating somepony. Having the feeling to keep watching her sister buck apples in amusement AJ giggled for a him a bit without showing to Mac.

"Can Ah just finish ma chores Applejack? Ah really need ta finish this before the next harvest." she said with a slight defeated tone knowing her sister isn't done messing with her.

"Of course big sis, but ya gotta get ready for ya date tonight. Remember ya have a date with Beast Boxer?" Applejack smiled widely with a snicker behind the smile.

Little Mac just stared at her sister with a deadpanned look on her face not wanting to discuss the date topic. "Why did Ah get ma'self into this mess?" she thought to herself.

The day had been busy for the Apple family bucking apples, feeding farm animals, selling apples, and other chores do to in the farm like they do everyday like always. Mostly Little Mac been stressing herself off from thinking about going out with Beast Boxer tonight. Not knowing why she kept on thinking about him, and denying she's not really into the colt or saying it's just a friendly dinner. Either why it still puts her right back to the spot of going out on a date with the huge stallion, even though she would have a slight daydream without even knowing she was doing until she caught herself. From the side lines Applejack kept herself hidden while she watches her own sister struggling with a smile on her face, but did felt sorry and concern of her well being.

It was 6pm at night before Beast picks Mac up at her farm at 7pm, and feeling the rush get to her she tried calming herself down by thinking how many apples would she sell and how many bits they would get to hold up the farm. As this happened Rarity came by to give Little Mac a dress for her date which made her feel suspicious about the mare, because she never told anypony but her sister's and granny. Before she could ask the dress making mare Rarity reassured her that Applejack was the one who told her (even though she already knew about it). Applejack and Rarity helped Mac into the dress and make-up for her date, but Mac was just grumbling about wearing some stupid make-up and especially a dress too. From hearing this Rarity would not have it and said it's not ladylike to not go on a day looking fabulous.

There were loud knocking sounds coming from the front door of the house "Ah'll get it!" Applejack shouted inside the house while trotting towards the door. She opened it and was frozen in place, but from her view point she sees a huge blue stallion wearing a black and white tux with a little red floor in his left chest pocket. Applejack had a little blush going there, but shook it off reminding herself it's her sister's date.

"Ah sorry about that partner.......ya just took me by surprise there hehehe." she said while rubbing the back of her head slowly feeling the blood rushing to her face.

"No sweat about there ma'am. I do get that a lot and I really am glad you think that way, so...........where's Macareina?" Beast asked while looking around the house.

"Oh right!" she walked back to let the colt in which he walked right in and bowing at the same time "Ah'll call her for ya..........Rarity!..........is ma sis ready?" she shouted through the house.

"Yeah she's ready darling. She's coming right down now." Rarity trotted down the stairs with a huge smile on her face, and stood next to Applejack.

"Ugh!........let's get this over'a with." Little Mac walked down the steps with her eyes closed feeling kind of irritated on wearing such a dress.

When she walked down the steps Beast Boxer jaw hit the floor acting like he saw a beautiful angel walking down those steps of stairs. Staring at the mare he's taking out on a date he could only say "wow". He kept on staring at her without blinking once, because he was so hypnotized by the beautiful mare in front of him. From his point of view Little Mac was wearing a light red dress with white strips, and has her cutie mark on it too. Her mane was slicked forward to the right a little covering her right eye, and even has one part of her hair braided. Plus the mare has a little patch of make-up on her cheeks, but not too much though it shows some little blush there. The other thing that caught his eye was a green floor in her mane that matches the color of her cutie mark or eyes.

Little Mac opened her eyes slowly as she was bout to get ready to say something, but something caught in her throat when she saw Beast in his tux which made her blush very hard from the attractive stallion in front of her. Both of the equines stared at each other with huge blushes on their face not wanting to take each others eyes off, but in the background you could see Applejack and Rarity snickering to themselves with their hoofs on their mouths.

"Wow........just wow...." Beast broke the silence as he closed his mouth, but kept his eyes on her.

"Go ahead an laugh yall want. Ah look stupid......" Little Mac looked away with her eyes closed.

Beast walked up to her by grabbing her chin with his hoof turning her towards him so they can face each other, and as they stare each other in the eyes you could see Little Mac blushing very hard again "No Mac.........you don't look stupid. You look very beautiful." he said softly to her trying to comfort her with a smile on his face.

"Tha-Thank ya kindly.........and ya not so bad ya'self." she said trying to look away with her eyes only, and felt more blood rushing towards her cheeks.

Applejack and Rarity were trying to hold themselves together though Applejack was more calm than Rarity which for her she covered her mouth with a huge blush on her cheeks squealing into both of her hoofs. By looking at the scene in front of her she couldn't take it anymore, because of how romantic it is to see two ponies talking sweetly to each other. Well you could say Rarity was daydreaming at the spot by thinking of herself in the same position as Little Mac of having a handsome stallion staring at her in the eyes saying sweet-romantic words to her. Her friend beside her coughed in her hoof trying to break the silence again as she stared at both of the couple.

"Ah well........Ah like how touchy this is, but Ah believe it's time for both of yall to head for ya dinner hmm?" Applejack stated her point while staring at the two still.

"Oh...........ye-yeah........I almost forgot hehehe, but yeah let's get to the restaurant. I already made reservations for the both of us." Beast said while he waited by the door for his date.

Mac walked towards the door beside the colt as she stared at him "Where are we goin?" she asked softly with her head tilted to the side.

"There's a new restaurant that had been made recently which I believe it was last week. I found out it was a decent one, but not those type of fancy ones you think from Canterlot. I believe it's called Green Island." answering her question with a smile on his face.

Out of nowhere Applejack and Rarity pushed the two outside of the door a little making sure not to hurt them "Alright!......I believe it's time for both of you dears get going." Rarity spoke.

"Yeah what she said." Applejack agreed.

The two couples took off while waving over their shoulders to Rarity and Applejack as they wave right back "Yall take care of ma sister Beast or ya will be hearing things from me understood?" Applejack shouted

"Don't worry about that Applejack I'll take care of her, I promise." he shouted right back with a huge smile on his face to reassure Applejack which made the mare nod her head.

Twenty minutes later had passed since the two couples left Sweet Apple Acres as they were in the middle of Ponyville while Beast was leading them two towards the restaurant he made reservations for. Another few minutes had passed when they reached the restaurant, but made Little Mac stared wide eyes at the huge place. It was huge enough to fit bunch of other ponies, but instead it has two stories (picture home town buffet, but bigger with a two story in it or you could think of a different restaurant too).

"Wow........Ah haven't been to this place before." Little Mac spoke with her mouth slightly open in awe from seeing the huge place.

"Hehehe I know right, but let's hurry up and get inside." Beast said softly to Mac which she just nodded her head.

The two walked inside the place, but a stallion in the middle of the walk way behind a stand saw them "May I help sir?" the colt asked softly.

"Ah yeah!, I made a reservation to this place for party of two." he answered with a smile.

The colt listened and looked down at the listen in front of him "Hmmm......what is your name sir?" he asked again.

"The name is Beast Boxer." he answered right back, but was busy looking around the area.

"Ah okay.........here's your name. Well welcome to Green Island, and have a pleasant dinner to the both of you." the stallion said softly while clapping his hoofs together which made a unicorn tan coat mare in a waiter clothes on trotting towards the colt behind the stand.

"Take these two in a VIP section." the stallion order her.

Nodding her head to her boss she turn towards the couple waving a hoof to them, and telling them to follow her while taking two menu's on the side of the stand. As the two were following the mare there were some whistles and other sounds coming from all around them, but it was aiming for Little Mac. From hearing this Mac kept her head down trying to ignore the whistling stallions in the restaurant even though some of the stallions were having dinner with their marefriends or wifes. Realizing what they just did they got smacked up side their heads by their dates with a whimpering sound from them, and saying sorry to the mares. Beast could see how she didn't like the attention, but couldn't hold a snickering sound from seeing some of the stallions getting smacked hard.

After a few seconds went by they found themselves far from the other customers, and the room was very nice and quiet as well. The waiter mare stepped to the side making some room for the couple to get inside and sit though the room was like a circle with a round table in the room, and plus having a soft like couch behind the table. Little Mac was very surprised by this, and slowly took her seat by a window that is near the table while Beast sat across from her with a smile on her face loving the face reactions he was getting.

"Here's your menu's, and would you two like something to drink?" the waiter spoke with a smile on her face.

"Oh........ummm.......can Ah get some applecider please?" Little Mac asked softly which the waiter nodded her head and turning her head to Beast.

"I would like the same drink she's having." he said it with another smile on his face while looking at his date, and making her blush slightly.

Watching the mare leave the room to go get their drinks the couple was quiet, but very awkwardly as they looked around trying not to look at each other. Instead of looking around them two change their direction towards the menu in front of them, but couldn't figure out what did they want. It took some time to find something good in the menu when they finally pick the food they want. Until they were finish choosing the waiter came back with their drinks, and setting them down to their rightful owners.

"What would you two like to eat hmm?" the waiter ask as she look between the two who was sitting down.

"Yeah Ah would like some hey-fries with some fresh apple salad please." Little Mac answered with a smile while handing the mare the menu after she finished writing it down until she looked towards the stallion.

"And you sir?" asking the same question though with different words.

"I would like some hey-fries with a hey-burger." he answered as well with a smile on his face. The mare nodded her head after she finished writing down the orders with a smile on her face, and telling them their order would be ready in 45 minutes.

Watching the mare leave again the room became quiet quickly until Beast broke the silence "So........tell me about yourself?' he asked.

"What would ya like ta know?" Little Mac asked with a raised eye-brow.

"I want to know everything about the mare I took out to dinner." he answered with a smile on his face which earned him a small blush on the mare in front of him.

"Okay then...........well Ah could say Ah'm the oldest sister in the family except for ma granny that lives with us, but yeah it's just Applejack, Applebloom, and me living their with our granny. Ma parents are out of town on their vacation, and left the farm ta me since Ah'm tha oldest and could take care of everything on the farm. Usually Ah always get help from Applejack, and sometimes Applebloom helps right after she gets outta school. Ah love working on tha farm since it's tha place Ah got ma cutie mark. Ah take care of ma family, and love them with all of ma care. If they are in danger Ah would rush to help them without a care of ma own safety. Ma family comes first than ma'self." Little Mac told her some of the other stories of her life at the farm and other things that made Beast laugh and seem very interested on listening to her. After she was done finishing a story about her she asked him the same question he asked her.

"Well my life ain't that interesting really. I'm a professional boxer, that's why you see the cutie mark on me and why they call me Beast Boxer hehehe." this got Little Mac giggling to herself from seeing his point. "My life was okay to tell you the truth. I don't have a family like you do except my closest friends that I call family. I don't really know about my parents........I found out I was left in some church down in Las Pegasus, but it wasn't that bad. I grew up in that place and called the people in the orphanage my family as well. Sometimes my brothers and sisters there always get picked on by some city bullies thinking they are better because they have parents and we don't. Since I was the second oldest there I fought for them, and you could say I got beat up badly there but I didn't give up. With determination to protect my family I somehow beat those bullies by standing on my hind-legs." the rest of the story he talked about the same thing protecting his brothers and sisters in school when they grew older.

From listening to this story Little Mac felt kind of bad for the stallion, and was very impressed by how he took on everything with positive attitude. Especially protecting his family when it comes down to it, even though they are not blood family but he still took them as his family. She was very interested in his life and even him the most, and after Beast finished his story to her the waiter came back with their food which was floating on both sides of her. Giving them their food to their owners and them two saying thank you to the waiter making her bow her head and telling them they could ask anything they want from her. As the questions and answers had been taken care of the waiter told them to enjoy their meal with a smile on her face before she left them alone.

Once the food was on the table they started devouring the food they ordered with huge smiles on their faces. They told each other some jokes of what happened in their life or their siblings did to them or to their other friends. Little Mac haven't enjoyed this date back then this much which was very surprising to her that this stallion in front of her wasn't trying to get her plot or anything else from her, but kept her guard up just in case something wrong happens. Hours went by as they enjoyed their own dinner with another huge smiles and laughs. They couldn't stop themselves if they wanted to, because it was so much fun talking to each about things they have in common or not.

Little Mac looked around the room and spotted a clock on top of the entrance door, but the surprising moment which put her in little shock was the time. The time said 12 mid-night when they got at the restaurant at 7pm, and for Little Mac the time went by so fast for her to even notice. They already finished their food before mid-night came anyway, so Little Mac had to tell Beast that she needed to head home even though she doesn't want to leave him which she won't admit to that.

Beast paid for the meal with a smile on his face, and the two left the restaurant with silence in the air. Walking down the road towards Sweet Apple Acres. Little Mac was too busy thinking about how much she had fun with Beast making her show a little smile on her face. It was getting cold in the air making her shudder or shake from the coldness, but Beast spotted this from the side glance he made. He leaned his body against her to make her warm though feeling her stiff right away, and relaxed with a sigh to herself. Making sure she's warm enough on the way to her home he smiled happily to make the mare he liked safe, warm, and happy.

Minutes passed by again by the time they made it to the house of Little Mac's with her little sister Applejack waiting for them in the front porch. Making sure the two was in Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack made her way inside the house knowing they wanted their alone time for the last time tonight. Little Mac walked onto the porch of her house with her head low, but turned around with a smile on her face to look at Beast.

"Thank ya kindly for dinner Beast." she said softly to him with her small smile showing even it was getting a little wider.

"It's no problem Macareina, I wanted to take you out on a date like this from the start when I first met you hehe." scratching the back of his head with a huge blush coming onto his cheeks.

Little Mac giggled onto her hoof with a wider smile on her face "Well Ah still wanna say thank ya anyway." she leaned forward to give him a slight peck on his left cheek. "Thank ya again Beast." she turns around slowly giving her tail a little flick under his chin as she look over her shoulder to him, then walked right inside the house.

The huge blue stallion had one hoof on his cheek on the spot where Little Mac kissed making him sigh softly feeling the love rushing through his body, and having blood rushing to his head mostly. Shaking the love struck face expression he turned around slowly and walked away from the house, but jumped in the air to click both of his left hooves to his right ones shouting out yes in the air.

In the house Little Mac was watching him from the window while a smile was placed on her face again enjoying the moment watching the stallion that she might fall in love with. "So..........how was ya date big sis?" Applejack asked from behind her big sister with a little giggle behind it.

Snorting to the question her sister made, but shrugged it off with a wider smile "It was good, and Ah was glad to go on that date." turning around ready to walk upstairs.

"Are ya sure sis? Ya might be in love with that fella hehehe. Ah could tell from ya face expressions hehehe." the little sister smirked widely.

"Just shut up sis." giggling as well while walking up the stairs towards her room. Taking off the dress she had on followed by the rose in her mane she looked in the mirror seeing herself looking beautiful. Knowing she's beautiful without make-up, but would use just in case if this date happened again in the near future. Crawling into bed with the blankets over her making her sigh softly with happiness in her voice she looked up at the ceiling "Tha best night eva." she said softly and went straight to sleep.
