> Candy Apples > by Gol D Colt > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tis the Season > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia’s bright morning sun rose over the town of Ponyville, marking a new day. Because of how early it was most of it’s residents were either just waking up, or were still fast asleep. There were a few ponies who were up at this hour, among them included a cross-eyed mail carrier, a hyperactive party planner, and a princess with a serious insomnia problem. Another early riser was a pink maned yellow pegasi by the name of Butterscotch, who flew across the town. Though by the way that he flew this particular morning, it was clear that the stallion wasn’t used to being up at this time. 'Oh dear, I hope I don’t fall asleep while I work,'  he thought as he lets out a prodigious yawn. 'That would be oh so rude.' His lack of sleep stemmed from having to take care of some sick animals the night before, preventing him from getting his usual eight hours of sleep. Butterscotch made his way toward Sweet Apple Acres. One of farmers, Applejack, had asked him to come over to help solve a problem while her family was out. After a couple of minutes of flying, Butterscotch found himself soaring above the large orchard of Sweet Apple Acres. He spots the dirt trail that led to the farm and decided to walk the rest of way there.  As he’s walked to the main house he began to wondered why Applejack had asked for his help to begin with. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help her or anything, but she didn’t tell him exactly why she need his help and only said it was something only he could be trusted with. Usually Butterscotch isn’t one to just agree to anything that lacked any detail. but this was Applejack, one of his closest and most honest friends. Surely she wouldn’t give him a job he couldn’t handle...right? After a few minutes, Butterscotch finally arrives at the main house. However he doesn’t see Applejack anywhere in sight. 'Huh that's weird', he thought as he looked for any sign of his friend 'I thought AJ would be up at this hour.' The pegasi became curious about Applejack absent, but he shrugged it off thinking that maybe that he might have just came a bit early. He walked up to the main house and gently knocked on the door. “Applejack, you there?” he called softly. “I’m here just like you asked me to be.” Butterscotch stands there for a few minutes waiting for a response. Sadly, after waiting, still no answer. He was about knock again until the door slowly opened up to reveal an orange mare with a blonde mane and tail. She had on a white oversized shirt and a pair of baggy green pajamas pants with apples patterns on them that hid her figure. Her mane and tail were a real mess and lacked any of her red hair bands. “Well howdy there Butterscotch,” Applejack said cheerfully. “I’m really glad y’all came over, but do ya' mind knocking a little louder next time. Ah could barely hear yah.” “Um, but I did knock loudly,” he tilted his head as he raised an eyebrow. “Of course ya did,” she said sarcastically as she giggled. She goes back inside right before saying. ”Well, anyways come on and make yourself comfortable. We need to talk.” “Okay.” He said as he followed her inside. When the two enter the living room Butterscotch took a seat on the couch. “Would ya like some apple juice?” Applejack asked as she walked to the kitchen. “That would be nice, thanks.” As Butterscotch patiently sat on the couch, he begins to think about something that caught his attention ever since he met her at the door. Why wasn’t Applejack dressed for work? It wasn't like her to still be in her PJs at this hour, and she couldn’t have overslept because she always wakes up on time. He did notice that her face was a bit flushed, but he ignored it since she didn’t show any other signs of being ill. As he continued to think, Butterscotch sees Applejack coming back with two glasses of apple juice. “Here ya go, Sugarcube; a nice tall glass of Grade-A apple juice,” she said as she hands the pegasi a glass, right before taking a seat next to him. “Thank you,” he said as he took the beverage. “Um Applejack, why exactly did you call me here for? Is Winona feeling ok?" "Yeah, Winona’s doing just fine." "Oh. Then, are you having any problem with your animals, or do you need help removing some unwanted critter from your house?” Applejack didn’t say anything. She was too busy staring dreamily at him. “Um… Applejack?” “Huh? What? No, no it ain’t anything animal related sadly,” she said, nervously forcing a smile. “Ah need ya help with something else… Ya'll don’t mind that do ya?” The pegasi simply shook his head and said. “No, I don’t mind helping you with whatever you need help with. Even if I’m not exactly good at it." “Now don’t y’all worry yer little head Butterscotch. I promise ya that ya'll are more than up to the task.” “Oh okay. But if it's not anything animal related, then what did you need me for?” Applejack slowly turned her head away from her timid friend and placed her glass on the table. After a few seconds of silence she look back at him and said “Well um… I don’t really know how to put it to ya sugarcube but I... but I…” “Applejack you don’t have to feel embarrassed about it. Just tell me what it is I won’t judge you,” he said as he drank his apple juice. “Right...right... Listen sugarcube ah need y’all to...ma...th...me” she whispers softly. Butterscotch eyes, as well as his wings, shot open as he nearly chokes on his drink. He turned directly at his friend. “You want me to do what!? he shouted while giving his friend a ‘could you please repeat that’ look. It was safe to say that the apple farmer was quite dumbfounded at her friend’s impeccable hearing at first, but she then soon realize that this was Butterscotch, aka the king of whispering, she was talking to. “Listen Ah know Ah'm asking y'all a lot here, but Ah need y’all to… mate with me,” she said, this time blushing harder than before. “Applejack,” his face slowly turning red. “Um, I won't lie that um... sounds really nice and all, but I’m just not really interested in being in a relationship right now, and seeing how were friends I-" “Now hold on there sugarcube!" Applejack said as she forcefully clamps down on the pegasi muzzle with her hand. "Ah'm ain't asking y'all to be my coltfriend. Ah just need y'all help taking care of my um..." her blush turns even more red. "...seasonal problem, that's all. Now I'm bout to let go of yer muzzle, so would ya be so kindly as to calm down and stop overreacting, please?" Butterscotch gently nodded his head. The farmer did as she promised and released the stallion muzzle. He quickly starts rubbing his sore mouth right before he said. "Applejack I understand that you want to get some relief since your in season, but you do know that Zecora has special herbs just for that reason." "Ah know that, but Zecora told me that she run out of it yesterday, and she won't be available get anymore til next month, and I really got it bad this year." "Applejack I'm sure it not that bad," he sniffed the air. “I mean I can barely smell your estrus.” "Butterscotch Ah’m resisting the urge to just rip-off y’all clothes and take ya right here!" she said with a deadpan tone. "I see..." he said as he starts to shrink away from the mare. "But I'm sure that there plenty of stallions who would be more than happy to take care of your little...um problem." "Oh well... About that," she said as she lower head, twiddling her fingers. "Ah want someone who Ah personally know and trust to do this. But since Elusive has Spine and Berry is some how able to handle both Twilight and Rainbow, You're the only stallion Ah know who can do this." "But Applejack what makes you think I'm perfect for this? I'm still a virgin, I barely know the first thing about sex!" he said, beginning to panic again! "Ah know, Ah know sugarcube," she said trying to calm him down. "But Ah can assure ya that ya'll do just fine." "And what make you say that?" "Well... the thang is Butterscotch. This is technically mah... um,” she turning away in embarrassment. “first rodeo too, if y’all catch mah drift." Butterscotch's eyes widened dangerously as his mouth was left gaping open. The pegasi' mind was completely blown to find out that his friend was still pure. After all not only was Applejack a very attract and confident mare, she was often sought after by a lot stallions on a daily basic. "Y-you're a virgin!?" he said blushing, still in disbelief. Applejack simply nodded her head, too embarrassed to say anything. "But what about all those stallions you went out with!?" "They were all blind dates set up by Twilight, Dash, and Granny. Thought to be quite honest, none of them really caught mah eye." "Oh... but Applejack I'm still not sure about this. What you're asking me to do is very risky. I mean you could get pregnant for Celestia sake! And not to mention what your family will do to me when they find out." "Don't worry about knocking me up sugarcube," she said. "Ah got an elixir that'll make me stern for few days. Zecora gave it to me to make up for not having the herbs, and Ah already drank some of it about a hour ago so Ah won't becoming a mother anytime soon." "Okay, but that still leaves your family. They'll kill me if they find out I took your virginity." "Will y'all quit over reacting they ain't gonna kill ya. They'll most likely just force y'all into marrying me via shotgun wedding," she said as if a marriages involving gunfire was a slap on the wrist. "That's... really assuring..." he said, not at all sounding convened. "Listen Butterscotch,” she said a stern tone. “Ah know ya probably have over a dozen reasons why we shouldn’t be doing this, and Ah won’t lie most if not all of them are good reasons too, but… ya have no idea what it's like," her tone becoming more somber.” It's driving me crazy every year mah estrus becomes more and more intense, and even with the herbs Ah hardly feel any results from it. If'n y'all don't want to do this y’all don’t have too. Ah won't judge or force ya into this, but could ya at least give it some thought." Butterscotch wasn't honestly sure on what he should tell his friend. Now he wanted to help his friend, he really did, but what she was asking him to do wasn't exactly easy for him. Sure Applejack had told him he didn't have to do it, but he knew full well that he couldn't leave her like this. Especially not after hearing how much she suffering right now. "Um… Okay AJ I’ll… help you, but I-” Before the pegasi could say anything else. The apple farmer instantly wrap her arms around him, tightly hugging as if they were long lost lovers. “Thank you Butterscotch,” she buries her head into his chest. “y’all have no idea how much Ah appreciate what ya'll are doing for mah.” Butterscotch felt a rise in emotions as he felt his friend hug him, He let out sigh. 'I really hope I don’t regret doing this.' After entering her bedroom Applejack had told him wait on the bed while she go get something important. As she closed the door behind her Butterscotch was already starting to panic to the point to where he was nearly hyperventilating. "Oh dear what have I got myself into," he said to himself. “I can’t possibly show AJ, she’ll think I’m some sort of monster… just like everypony else…” Back when Butterscotch was still attending flight camp with Rainbow Dash, Dumb-Bell and his goons had pantsed him in front of everyone while he was practicing his flying. However while the three bullies were the only one who were laughing as everyone both camper and instructor, had a stunned expression when they took a gander at his crotch. And since that day Butterscotch had never felt comfortable letting anyone see him naked. 'Maybe if I tell her that I’m gay or asexual maybe I could convince her...' he sighs as he stopped to realize what he was saying. "Oh come on Butterscotch how could you even think of abandoning Applejack in her time of need, especially after I told her I would help her”, he berated himself. "I bet she wouldn't even hesitate to help him if the situation were reversed, even if she herself was still pure.” he set up on the bed with a small but determined expression on his face. “So I should follow her example and help her no matter what." Just than the stallion’s ears perked up as he hear the door slowing opens. "Sorry for taking my sweet time sugarcube this thang was a real tight fit.” “Tight fit?” he turned toward his friend. "Uh Applejack what do you mean b-b-b-b..." The poor timid pegasi couldn’t finish his sentence as he had gotten tongue-tied from looking at his friend. Applejack had changed out of her baggy clothes and donned a red see-through night gown that left very little to the imagination. She wasn’t kidding when she said it was a 'tight fit' as the gown had some trouble containing her ample breasts. Aside from her chest the rest of the elegant night gown showed off her freckled body, and due to the amount of farm work Applejack had done for most of her life she had gained a nice set of abs too. The transparent nightgown ended right around her generously widened hips where a red erotic set of panties fought to contain her large bubbly ass. Like most of the female members of the Apple family, Applejack's thighs were supple and toned thanks to all the years of bucking apples. Butterscotch was at a literal loss for words. His entire face was redder than any apple in the orchard, his wings went incredibly stiff, and he felt his heart racing as well as his pants getting a little tight around groin. Applejack's face was just as if not more flushed than Butterscotch's as she felt even more embarrassed than she already felt. Noticing the shocked and aroused expression on her friend face made her decide to break the silence. "Uh Judging by the redness in ya cheeks y'all definitely like the outfit Elusive made for me." She knew that Butter was feeling really nervous about the whole thing and would probably have a hard time getting 'excited'. Hence why she put on the gown in the first place. However the apple farmer didn't get a response from the bashful pegasi, not even quiet whimper. "Um Butterscotch y'all alright?" Applejack asked as she saw his still shock expression on his face. Oh dear Ah think this outfit may have been a bit much for him. Ah guess they weren't kidding when they said if looks could kill. Ah think Ah gave the poor fella a heart attack. Applejack sighed, rubbing her forehead. Well Ah better snap him...out of... Applejack trailed off as she notices the bulge that the pegasi was sporting in his baggy jeans. Her cheeks changes into a new shade of red as her panties became more soaked. Because of her fiery estrus she just couldn't take her eyes off of it, it was just so huge! She couldn’t thinking about how big the shy pegasi could be. In the back of the mare’s head a thought was constantly telling her to take off his pants while he was still in shock. Her hooves begin walking on their own accord to her bed, but she stopped midway there. “No no what are you thinking AJ it wouldn’t be right if Ah took advantage of him while he like this. It would be dishonest and he one of your best friend and…” she trails off as she stares back at the stallion's crotch and licks her lips. “But um then again, we did agree that we would do this. So technically there would be nothing wrong if Ah help him out his clothes." she grinned wickedly, continuing her walk toward the still stunned stallion. “Because honest those jeans of his look a little too ‘tight’ for him.” Once she had reached the shy stallion she kneeled down before him and quickly process unbuckling his belt. But even with her study hands her action however didn't go without notice as this finally gets a reaction out of him. "A-applejack!?" shrieked Butterscotch, seeing his friend fiddling around with his pants. "What are you doing!?" "Oh don't mind me sugarcube," she said, already done with his belt, and heading straight for his zipper. "Ah’m just getting these tight pants off of yours that all.” “Eek! B-but I’m not ready yet!” he panicked as he attempted to stop the horny mare from going any further. But unfortunately for him before he could even react, Applejack had already unzipped his jean. And with a small yet strong tug the orange earth pony had yanked Butterscotch’s pants, and conveniently his boxers, completely off of him. She instantly froze as she stare at his harden member. Even though it was standing right in front of her face Applejack still couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Applejack had often heard stallions threw the term 'third leg' to describe their private part, but for Butterscotch that would be the exact term you uses to sum up his member. And not only did it had the length it also had the girth to match one as well. Aside from the flared head, which was poking out of his foreskin, the only thing that help distinguish from a regular leg were the thick pulsing veins that ran along the mighty shaft. She couldn’t pry her eyes away from the his shaft, they just slowly kept exploring every square inch of his member. When she got a gander at his balls. Applejack can’t help but to lick her suddenly dry lips they were the size of a cantaloupes and she could only imagine how much semen those bad boys could product. Her cunt was quivering like a leaf on a windy day, and the content smell of his intoxicating musk could only drive her more crazy to rut him. Butterscotch was on verge of panic, worrying about what Applejack will think of him from now. As he begins whimpering at the thought of losing one his friend. He gasp as he felt two strong yet incredibly soft hands wrap around his cock. "Applejack!" he said frantically. "What are you doing!" Unfortunately for the pegasi Applejack was much too drunk off his musk to hear him as she slowing stroked his dick up and down. Without any hesitation she placed the tip of his dick mouth, her hands quickly increased their paces. Pre-cum soon oozed out of his tip which Applejack quickly lapped it up, greatly enjoying it's salty taste while lather his cock. Butterscotch was letting out slight groans as he could feel her hot, wet mouth squeezing tightly against his sensitive, instinctively grabbing the bed sheets. He had no earthly idea exactly what she was doing, but it felt great. The apple farmer takes out his cocks and licks the shaft, bathing it with her saliva. Butterscotch groaned more louder as the mare’s tongue was quite through. Once his cock was properly lubricated with spit and pre-cum she widens her jaw to take in as much of his fat cock as possible. As soon as she gets in a mouth full she slowly begins bouncing her head. Feeling both her hands, and her tight mouth moving in unison and gaining momentum was becoming too much for the stallion. He wanted to warn her about his oncoming orgasm, but she just felt so good he could hardly get it out. "Applejack..." he groaned, "Please… stop…” However AJ once again didn't listen to him as she continuous suckling his cock. With a single loud moan and violently quivering member as her only warning, loads of hot semen comes erupting out of his cock. Applejack's eyes instantly shot open as her mouth fills up with his seed, her cheeks quickly bulging within seconds. The torrent of cum was too much for the farmer to handle that she immediately removes his cock from her mouth, resulting in her getting covered in some of his spunk. With his climax over Butterscotch was left lying on the bed heavily panting, and AJ had cum on her face, chest, and clothes. After swallowing the rest of his cum that was let in her mouth in one huge gulp Applejack was gasping for air. “Shoot, Ah think Ah might have just gotten a littl' carried away,” she panted, somewhat regaining some coherent thought. “Sorry bout that sugarcube,” she apologies. "Ah guess seeing your uh ‘little’ friend bought out the…” AJ voice trailed off as she look back at his member. Despite ejaculating a large sum of semen from her earlier activity. Butterscotch‘s massive rod was still standing at full glory. She was both shocked and amazed that the frail pegasi penis was still rock hard and prepped to go. "Uh Applejack," he panted, get the mare attention. "sorry about cumming in yer mouth. It just that whatever you did felt really good and-" "Oh no need to apologize Butterscotch," she quickly cut him off, getting up off her knees. "Ah was the one who got little greed. But if you feel that badly about it..." she grabs the end of her gown and pulls it up. The thin fabric went over her head with ease, revealing her bountiful harvest. "Ah'm pretty sure there a way y'all can make it up to me," she seductively said, tossing her gown aside. Like a deer caught in the headlights Butterscotch found himself once again freezing up as he stares at the mare's large perky breast swaying freely in the air, her darker orange nipples erected staring right back at him. The mare simply giggles at the stun stallion and bents forwards, taking off her panties which were completely moist thanks to all her feminine juices. As soon as Applejack slinks on the bed and on top the pegasi. Butterscotch awoke to see the farmer looming over him, her hands beside his head while giving him a sultry smirk. "Glad Ah finally got your attention sugarcube. Now are y'all ready to get down to business." "Um... sure..." he nervously said, seeing the lust in the mare's green eyes. ”but… do you mind if I be on top?” Applejack gives the pegasi odd look as though he just spoke a different language. “It just that… a mare’s first time is suppose to be painful, and I just want to make it as painless as I can." Applejack simply smiles at him. She expected that Butterscotch would pull something like this because honestly the boy , which was way he was her first choice. "Of course sugarcube. But before we do this, ya mind taking off that shirt of yours? I don't want to be the only in my birthday suit." "N-not at all." he said as he removes the last article of clothing he had left. The second he removes his shirt, AJ jaw instantly drops as she takes in the view. Despite Butterscotch being well known for his bashfulness and frailty the pegasi had quite the muscular physique. They weren't as developed as her own, but they were nothing to sneeze at and the mare found herself a bit speechless and a lot more antsier. "Uh Applejack are we going to... um get started..." "Hm? Oh of course,” she said coming to her senses. “just let me lay down for ya.” The apple farmer removed herself off of him and slinks over to the head of the bed. She then lays down with legs spread wide open, her moist cunt in clear view. Applejack patiently waited as Butterscotch hesitantly follows suit and gets on top of the her, his eyes looking into her lustful eyes once again. Saying that the pegasi was nervous was the understatement of the year. In a few second not only was he going to lose his purity, he was also going to be the one who’ll claim Applejack's innocence. "A-are you ready?" he stuttered. Applejack nodded. “Yeah I’m ready.” Butterscotch gulped audibly as he grabs Applejack's generous hips. He stare deeply into Applejack's eyes, and slowly thrusted his colossal cock inside her dripping slit. She could feel his flare tip penetrating her nether lips, spreading them wide as it made it way deep into her dripping core. He soon reached her innocent, proving that she truly was a virgin. With a gently push Butterscotch breaks her hymen, ridding them both of their virginity. Despite him doing it softly, Applejack closed her eyes as she loudly groaned. She clawed her bed sheets, and wrapped her legs around him, trying her best to ignore the pain. Blood wept from her slit and on to Butterscotch's member and the sheets. "Applejack are you okay!" asked the worried pegasi. "Do you want me pull out?" She shook her head however. "Nah I'm good Scotch," she groaned. "but could ya'll please just go slow?" He nodded before he continue to go deeper. It wasn't by far the worst pain that the mare had been though, but she still whimpered in pain as her marehood stretched out to accept his impressive member. Butterscotch felt the sheer tightness of the mare cunt clenched around his cock, her inner muscles gripping his invading cocks in rapture as he went deeper and deeper. Butterscotch started thrusting his hips back and forth from her cunt, grunting continuously as he became lost in the pure ecstasy of Applejack's marehood. He found it difficult to resist increasing pace as her inner wall held down tightly, practically milking his cock at the slightest movement, completely overwhelming him. After a few thrusts Applejack groans of pain turned into moans of pleasure as she felt the huge rod that was Butterscotch's cock impaling her insides, slowly building up the euphoria. “Faster Butterscotch, go faster,” Applejack moaned loudly in between breaths. The pegasi did as he was told and started picking up the pace. His hips loudly smacks against Applejack's, each impact caused her ample breasts to violently shake, rocking her entire bed. Applejack started moaning to the point of screaming as Butterscotch fucked her as if there was no tomorrow. The sheer pleasure overtook her other sense. The only thing that came out of Butterscotch’s mouth were soft pleasured moans mix in with his heavy breathing. He could feel the tension in stallionhood finally reached his limit. “I can’t hold it in anymore! I'm going to... I'm going to..." "Just do it Scotch! Ah can't that it either!" She cried, her own climax coming soon as well. With a one last thrust he hilt himself completely in her trembling cunt, and pumped everything he had. Large volumes of thick, gooey seed quickly filled the mare's inside to their capacity. Despite it being his second orgasm, the account of cum he shot out seemed unbelievable, somehow cumming more than the first time. Applejack stick her tongue out as her entire body was sent into pure bliss from feeling his hot seed coating her insides. She tightened her legs around Butterscotch, feeling her entire marehood practically drowning in his semen. With one final shot of cum, both of their intense orgasm ended, Butterscotch felt incredibly weak, limply falling forward on top of Applejack. The two were extremely exhausted, heavily panting as they were covered in sweat, and other bodily fluids. “Woo wee that there was something,” Applejack panted, greatly relieved that the burning sensation in her loins had subsided. “So… I take it I did good?” Butterscotch asked nervously.  Applejack tried her best not giggle at his question. "Sugarcube, good doesn't even begin to describe how amazing you were back there." Butterscotch weakly turns away from his friend, feeling rather embarrassed by her complement. "T-that good to hear... Do you feel any better?" "Ah'll be honest with yah, Ah still do feel a little itch. But Ah feels a million times better than Ah did before." "Well that's good to hear," he said, giving the mare a gently hug. Applejack don't at all mind her friend cuddling up to her, and she too coiled up to the stallion as well. But as much as she liked the feeling of his warm, sweaty body the pungent smell of sex was starting to get to her. "Hey Butterscotch ya don't mind pulling out and letting me up, so Ah can get cleaned up?” “Oh, of course not,” he said, picking himself up. Butterscotch pulled his hips back, releasing his stallionhood from Applejack’s pussy with a wet, lewd sucking sound. Applejack let out a sharp gasp from the now sudden emptiness of her marehood. He sat down on the bed with his legs spread wide open, exposing his stallionhood covered in semen, and mare nectar. As he stretched arms out Applejack stares quite hard at him, or rather stares hard at his colossal cock that was still fully erected, not showing any signs of flaccid or softness, even looking bigger than before. The only word that come up into the mare's head was 'how?!'. How in Celestia's shining sun could this meek little pegasi, who was scared of almost everything including his own shadow, and who could barely lift anything above his own weight, still be as hard as a rock after cumming two large loads in a row. But what scared her the most was that Butterscotch didn't even seem to notice his erection. "Uh... Sugarcube, ya wouldn't by chance be aching for another round now would ya?" Butterscotch gave her a nervous look. "Oh no I’m fine you just going and take a shower while…” "Butterscotch..." she said in a stern tone, raising an eyebrow. "Ok I'll admit it, I really want to go again, but you just seem really tried aaaahfter!" he gasped. He looks down to see Applejack licking his stallionhood clean. After swallowing some of the gooey mixture she look up to him and said. "While Ah do very much appreciate ya'll concern for me sugarcube," she smiled. "But Ah'm afraid Ah can't leave ya like this while that 'big boy' still rear in' to go; especially seeing how you were kind enough to help me me with my little itch," she said seductively. "So, how about ya join me in the shower after Ah'm done cleaning yer 'little friend'." she said right before she went back to licking. "Hmm... Sure if you insist..." he moaned. [Meanwhile elsewhere] As Granny and Applebloom made their way to a far off town to deliver pies. Applebloom couldn't help, but feel concern about leaving her older sister behind. "Uh Granny, are ya'll sure it was a good idea to leave Applejack by herself while she in heat?" Applebloom asked, worried about her older sister. "Now quit ya'll worrying Applebloom. Yer sister is more than capable of taking care of herself while she in season," she reassured her granddaughter. "Ah know, but ya know how bad her heat usually gets. She probably going crazy right about now." She gave her a warm smile. "Oh Ah don't know about sweetie. Ah'm sure she probably has something preoccupy her time."
