After our chat about my dreams, me and Blue Skies were trotting around Ponyville. I was going to go take him to Applejack, because 1, I wanted to see all of the Apple family, and 2, I thought Big Mac and Blue Skies would get along pretty well. "So then I said, 'oatmeal, are you crazy?'" Blue Skies laughed. I was telling the story about when Derpy Hooves asked me to bake her some muffins. "I prefer blueberry, but oatmeal's a good flavor too!" Blue Skies said. "Yeah, I agree. But oatmeal has to be my least favorite flavor! Euh!"
Blue Skies laughed again. I smile."Looks like we're here." We stood on a hill that, if you stood on top, you see all of Sweet Apple Acres. "A farm?" Blue Skies looked at me. I nudged him with a hoof. "Have some respect! The Apples are close friends to me." Blue Skies laughed. Oh, it's just amazing when he laughs! I feel butterflies in my tummy. "C'mon!"
When we got there, I knocked on Applejack's door. Apple Bloom opened the door. "Hi Pinkie Pie! Hi... stranger?" I ruffled Apple Bloom's mane. "This is my friend, Blue Skies." Apple Bloom smiles. "Oh. Sorry we got off on the wrong hoof. I'm Apple Bloom!" She extended her hoof to Blue Skies. Blue Skies shook her hoof. "I'm Blue Skies. Pleasure to meet you." "Lemme go get Applejack." Apple Bloom dashed off into the hall.
A moment later, Applejack came in. "Hi Pinkie Pie! Nice seeing you here." She turns to Blue Skies. "Hi there. I'm Applejack. Apple Bloom told me that you're name is Blue Skies. Pleasure!" "It's a pleasure meeting you Applejack!" Blue Skies smiled. "Why, shoot. Where are my manners? Come on in." Applejack said.
Blue Skies and I walk into the Apple Family's home. "So, this is my family. Big Mac," Applejack gestured to him, "Granny Smith," Applejack gestured to Granny Smith, "Apple Bloom," She gestures to Apple Bloom, "and me!" "I'm Blue Skies. It's a pleasure meeting you all!" He smiled warmly. "Eeyup." Big Mac's soft voice rang through the room. "So Pinkie Pie, how's it going?" "Pretty good," I say. "Same old, same old. How about you?" "Just apple bucking. The apples aren't gonna buck themselves ya know!" I laugh. I take in the scene around me. I see Blue Skies pleasantly chatting with Big Mac and Granny Smith. Apple Bloom went back to messing around with her loopty-hoop.
"So, you found yourself a special somepony?" Applejack asked, but the question made my face burn, heart get all poundy, tummy get all butterflyish. "No! N-n-not at all!" I stammer weakly. Curses! I'm blushing! Applejack looks at me suspiciously. "You must really like him though." I nod a tiny bit. "Well, yeah." I can't LIE to Applejack! I do my happy pony mask, sure, but that's it. "Well, he's quite the looker. I think he likes you like that too." My heart skips a beat. Applejack approves of Blue Skies! I look over and see Granny Smith's giving him a similar conversation. He's blushing a bit. Squee! I turn back to AJ. "Apple Bloom, no loopty-hoop in the house!" Applejack scolded. Apple Bloom scowls and walks out the back door. "So, what's the story behind Mr. Skies?"
Applejack clearly wasn't convinced. "He came from Canterlot, he was Twilight's classmate." "Oh, so Twilight introduced you?" "Oh yeah, he's helping me cope with some problems I've been having." I tried to be vague. Luckily, Applejack never pries. "Well, he seems mighty fine." I looked at the clock. It was getting late. "I gotta go." I stood up. "Thanks for everything." "No problem sugarcube." Applejack smiled. "Hey Blue Skies!" He looked over. "What's up?" "Look at the time!" He glanced at the clock. "Oh dear. Thanks so much Granny Smith." She smiles warmly "No problem. Come on over anytime ya get a hankering to chat. Good-bye now!" Me and Blue Skies wave and leave.
As we walk down Ponyville, the sun setting behind us, I walk, smiling into Ponyville. "Hey Pinkie Pie?" "Yeah?" He hesitates a little. "Will you uh... will you be my special somepony?" It was all really rushed. "Of course I would." I nuzzled him. He smiles, and I get a rush of glee. "Hey, where do you live?" He asks. "Sugarcube Corner. Drop by whenever." He grins. "Yeah, okay. Here I am." We stop at a small cottage. "Well, see ya." He smiles and walks off. "Bye."
