This story is a sequel to Thunder and Lightning
Applejack has been your best friend for a long time, since you both were little kids. But as of late, you've been looking at her differently. When you get close to her, your heart beats faster. Her southern accent makes your heart dance. You've caught... feelings. Out of fear of destroying the greatest friendship you have, you begin to distance yourself a little bit. The last thing you want is to make things awkward.
One day, Applejack approaches you and invites you to come with her family to the Apple Family Reunion. An extended period of time close to Applejack... your best friend... your crush. How are you going to keep your feelings contained when you're around her for so long? Or... maybe you shouldn't keep them to yourself. Maybe it's finally time to admit how you truly feel.
3rd installment of the The Cute, the Fluffy, and Romantic
WARNING: May contain lots of fluff
**Featured on July 28, 2016 & September 9, 2016 
I've been WAITING for this! So cute, great job!
*Claps hands excessively loud*
Another job well done.
I give it my 9.999999999999/10 rating.
P.S. I never give anything a full 10, so you have my highest rating I can bestow.
Keep up the amazing work.
Out of all the one-shots you've done so far, this one is far my favorite!
I really enjoyed reading this; I thought it was extremely cute. Keep up the good work!
So who's next? ^~^
I'd rate this 5
out of 5
Dude if i could id give you a million likes right now but i have to settle for one i really love this story

*Nordyd is happier and posts new story*
Aw... I love it!
Written far better than a lot of AJ-Romance stories. Well done.
Thumps up for this story!!
Another reason why I prefer AJ as my waifu. Love it.
This is amazing. Keep up the good work, pal.
This is a wonderful story! Great job Nordyd!
7432330 thank you!
And is that so?
You did a great job! I can't wait for the next oneshot! Actually... could it be Rainbow Dash?
Yep, definitely worth the wait.
Mmmm mm mmm... now this was a very good story.
Don't get me wrong., I loved Pinkie's and Rarity's, but this one... this one was a lot better imho.
So awesome job on this~
Can't wait to see more of these~
7433119 where does rainbow dash keep getting those cookies in your avatar pic.
Congrats on the feature bruh, Keep up the good work!
11/10 would read again (Even when I haven't read it yet)
7432825 Eeyup. Your first two were a little more typical (But really, there's only so much you can do with fluff on this site. They usually follow the same path) but this was a far better handling of AJ than you usually see. People almost always fall into the same two pits of how to utilize an OC in these kind of stories, but you had the idea of a lifetime's worth of familiarity already being there. You turned a fic idea which usually ends up as a Lemon Fic into something more heartfelt.
Beyond that, only thing I can suggest is broadening your lexicon for your work. Does your Word program have a built-in thesaurus? Try using some more expressive words in your description and you'll find the story has a bit more life to it.
7433238 This romance will have no clop whatsoever. Pure fluff.
And I'll try to be more expressive. I do use Word, so I'll try to improve next time.
Thanks for the feedback
7433247 Clop isn't what I'm talking about. What I mean is almost all Romance fics go like this: Questionable language included
I despise this kind of garbage in almost all occasions. There's no development, it's made to get upvotes, and brings nothing to table. Can't stand it. The characters rarely even act like themselves. Yours, however, has the room for characters to be themselves -ACTUALLY themselves- and feel more natural. So take that as high praise, cause it's a rare thing to find here.
7433204
Hmm, a mystery it seems~
Too much jackabetes. Hghh *ded*
In all seriousness though, excellent work
. This would so be me if I had this life. It'd definitely be better than working as a dishwasher
.
7433268 I can't seem to open the link up
7433314 Aw, hell. I ain't got time for this crap. Work, damn you!
Alright, let's try this one on for size: Again, possibly offensive language within
7433327 Oh god no, I hate that stuff too. You have to build up to that stuff. I believe in building up the characters sufficiently, and then doing that stuff. I hate it when romance fics just jump into that stuff. Admittedly, I may have done that once or twice, but I do my best to keep them all in character, while also attempting to explore the possibilities.
I figured a premise like this would work nicely, and magically it did, so
.
But all the same, this series of stories will contain no clop whatsoever. It'll all be PG-13 romance; no sex whatsoever. It'll get steamy of course, but I'm going for pure fluff here.
It flowed nicely and it doesnt seemed rush. So it's great.
Beautiful Job! The sweetness brought liquid pride to my eyes. A sequel about them telling everyone would be really good. Maybe?
I loved it! Who's next?
AND ME, YOU FOOL!!!
I enjoy these stories, but I honestly think they should get a sex tag for how close it actually gets.
This is an excellent addition to the series, my friend. Bravo!
Can't wait for the next one!!!
YES!!! APPLEJACK!!!
Gonna devour this!
my mind took this somewhere it shouldn't.
7433681 Hahahaha! What is this?
7433803 College Humour. Comedy youtube channel.
7433280 than we must go on a quest of epic proportions and solve the mystery.
So very wonderful! Just a warm and sweet romance, the way it should be! I really liked AJ's confession about knowing how he felt. She's just suave like that...so sure of herself but cautious with her heart. Sounds like most of the county girls I grew up with. Great story, my friend and good writing, too. Might have been a bit rushed but I think it worked well with the emotion in the story. You're really improving, good sir.
Just a warm, cute happy romance...what could be better?!
Le sigh! It's heartbreaking to read these stories since this is never going to happen to me, but I find myself unable to stop reading them because it's as close as I'll ever come.
Thank you.
YAY!
Very well written very romantic three words to describe this story: I LOVE IT!!!! You should make one with Rainbow Dash
7433796 lol XD!!!
That comment made my day.
7434542
7433796 should I just change that line?
I'm the teensiest bit let down that Apple Bloom didn't pop up to end the mood.
That aside, this was FANTASTIC!
7434550
i like this one< keep up the good work!
The protagonist for A Cupcake Of Your Thought, Thunder and Lighting, and The Apple Of My Eye is not the same person, right?
7435512 no, he's not
They all are and will be different guys
