Stallions Being Totally Judgemental

"What in Celestia's name is going on in there?" Caramel whispered, earning shrugs from his companions.

The groups hopes of apple cider and a few terrible jokes had been crushed when they heard horrible sounds emanating from the locked barn. One could only assume that Applejack and Rainbow Dash got a little bored and met up to spice up an, otherwise, normal day.

"Big Mac? How you holdin up buddy?" Noteworthy asked, looking at his red friend with worry. "You're not going to do anything stupid are you?"

Big Mac didn't reply. He was to busy trying to keep himself from ripping that prismatic show off limb from limb.

"Come on Big Mac! Lets just go and eat a few apples!" The others nodded in agreement and began to make their way to shade the apple trees provided. Heaving a defeated sigh, he finally followed suit.

The group gathered around a large, blooming apple tree that provided enough shade for the group, sheltering them from Celestia's brilliant sun. Noteworthy perched himself on a sturdy branch, snagging himself a healthy apple to munch on. Meanwhile, Caramel and the Doctor laid themselves on the soft patches, each on opposite sides of the tree, leaving plenty of room for Pinkie Pie sit herself in between to the two and pick at a piece of cake she had retrieved from her poofy mane.

"Hey Doc?" Noteworthy called, looking at out the beautiful scene that was Sweet Apple acres.

"Yeah Note?" The Doctor replied, with his eyes shut in comfort.

"What goin on with you and Derpy?" Noteworthy replied, looking at his brown friend with a hint of worry. "Whats with all of the fighting?"

"Do you really want to know?" Doctor Whooves asked, peeking at his feathered friend with a single eye.

Noteworthy nodded, as the others looked at the Doctor with interest. They knew that the couple had been at odds for some time, yet they could never actually get their friend to tell them why.

"Derpy wants to have surgery and fix her eyes." The doctor stated, drawing a small gasp from Pinkie Pie. "She wants me to let her do it, but I'm not going to let her go without my consent. Simple as that."

"What wrong with letting her get the surgery? Caramel asked, staring at his brown friend with curiosity. "If you need some bits, I'd be happy to oblige.All I would want in return is your eternal soul. No biggie."

"It's not because of the bits you idiot." The Doctor hissed, hurling an apple core at his comedic friend. "It's because I want to be with Derpy, messed up eyes and all of the clumsy habits that come with it. I don't want her to change." Doctor Whooves finished, letting loose a sad sigh.

Meanwhile, a small tear was sliding down Pinkie's cheek. "Thats SO SWEET!" She sniffled, wiping that tear away with a hoof. "Have you told her how you FEEL?"

"How can I tell her how I feel when shes throwing plates at me!?" the brown stallion replied, with a torn expression present on his, usually calm, face. "She think I'm lying. If I tell her that I support the decision than she thinks that I hate her looks. If I tell her that I don't want her to get the surgery than she tells me that I'm lying. Either way, I've been throw out of the house three times already."

"Damn. Maybe you should have surgery with her. Your nose looks pretty bucked up." Caramel snickered, ducking his head to narrowly avoid an apple. "Calm down doc! I was just kidding."

"It's not funny Caramel. If I don't find out what to do, I might lose her for good." The Doctor stated sadly. "I wish she would tell me why she wants to have this surgery all of a sudden."

"You think ponies at the post office have been pickin at her again?" Caramel asked, before taking another large bite from his apple.

"I don't know. I thought we had gotten past this, but something always comes up and we always end up back at square one." Doctor Whooves grumbled, rubbing his head with a hoof in frustration. "Maybe I should get Carrot to come over and talk to her."

"Maybe." Noteworthy replied, quietly humming a simple tune. "Whats the verdict Doc?"

"Definitely a ten out of ten. You just can't say no to those golden eyes and her goofy smile."

"Speaking of goofy smile." Noteworthy exclaimed, looking at a certain mare as she floated her way past the group with a half-lidded stare plastered on her sweaty face.

"Wow. It really makes me wish that I was a mare." Caramel said, giving off a small whistle of respect at Applejack's handy work. "Shes gonna be walking funny for a few days, I promise y'all that much. It's a good thing shes a pegasus."

"Howdy fellas! Hows it goin Pinkie!" A southern voice exclaimed. Several feet to the groups left, hidden by the cover of the trees, was the orange pervert, glistening with sweat from her.....handiwork.

"Hey Applejack!" Caramel exclaimed with a sly grin. "Workin hard bucking those trees?"

"Y-yeah! Just t-trying to k-keep the farm runnin. Hehehehe." She stammered, her confident laugh withering away into a nervous chuckle.

"Holy cow AJ! You're all sweaty!" Pinkie Pie squealed, staring at the blushing Applejack with perplexed, blue eyes. "Why do you smell like shame?" Pinkie Pie pointed out, wrinkling her nose in disgust

"Yeah I'm sure it's from all of that extra work you've been doing since Big Mac decided to take the day off." Caramel picked himself up off of the ground and walked over to Applejack with a devious plan brewing in his head. "You know what? Since you've been working so hard, how about you join us for a nice, cool mug of apple cider!"

"Well ah'm not sure I should be drinkin cider while I'm worki-" But she was interrupted by Caramel, as he wrapped a hoof around her shoulder and leaned closer to her twitching ear. "Is that BLUE hair all over you snout?"

"Hey guys lets head over to the barn an get ourselves some old fashioned cider, courtesy of the Apple family!" Applejack exclaimed a little to loudly, pushing away the chuckling caramel with a shaky hoof.

"Yes!" Pinkie Pie squealed, as she hopped her way towards the barn with the rest of the group in tow. "Apple cider and whipped cream coming up!"

"What are you doing you idiot!?" The doctor hissed, as the rest of the group left him and Caramel behind.

"What!?" Caramel asked, feigning stupidity. "I just want to have some cider with AJ! Nothing wrong with that!"

The Doctor only face hoofed, knowing that this could possibly be the most awkward round of apple cider in Equestrian history
