When Twilight Sparkle invites Applejack and her little sister to lunch with her and the rest of her friends, Apple Bloom is thrilled to be joining the mares on a grownup lunch. She resolves to get Twilight Sparkle a gift to thank her for her thoughtfulness. This gift serves two purposes though, and it's not until much later that Applejack discovers that Apple Bloom was setting up Twilight Sparkle and Applejack to become marefriends from the very beginning.

Warning: Third-person limited with multiple POVs. This is a shipping fic with the Applejack and Twilight pairing.

EDIT: Added the 'Sex' tag because there are a few implications, though no physical descriptions.

This story is a sequel to A Fact for Twilight

Applejack's mother was a Manehattan pony who fell in love with Sweet Apple Acres and the farmer who lived there. The gold necklace he gave her wasn't expensive or flashy, but she loved it anyway. Now that Applejack is ready to propose to Twilight with the same necklace, she hopes it really is fit for a princess.

What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them? Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings? Hide them? Admit them? And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.

There's also a dramatic reading in progress on youtube, here.

And also an updated verison of the cover, courtesy of Novel Idea.

Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash really enjoy each other's company. So much so that some ponies are beginning to wonder about them. Twilight and Applejack are a couple after all, so its a bit unusual that Rainbow always seems to be invited along. But sometimes, a couple is more than two.

A few months after the events of Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, Applejack decides to officially integrate the others into her family with an Apple tradition: a long night of cider drinking.

The next morning Applejack wakes up...in Twilight's bed...with a gold band on her hoof...and a legally binding document on the bedside table...

After a night of drinking far too much hard cider for their own good, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack awoke to find themselves with wedding bands on their horn and hoof (respectively), a legally-binding document on the bedside table, and a very embarrassing videocassette of a drunken Las Pegasus wedding ceremony. Now, Princess Celestia has summoned Twilight Sparkle and Applejack to her quarters, to have a little word with them about this situation...

This bit of silliness came from reading Darth Link 22's story, "About Last Night". After posting a couple of random comments about Celestia and Luna's possible reactions to the wedding video which were, apparently, funny enough to cause at least one person to nearly choke on their coffee when they read them, I felt inspired enough to expand on it. Two cans of Monster "Absolute Zero" later, this wacky little vignette somehow materialized out of my addled brain... Note that this is not canon as far as Darth's story is concerned! (Although he is certainly welcome to steal any bits he likes from it if he wants to.) Just think of it as a "deleted scene" on the DVD.

This would take place sometime after chapter six, A Most Forgettable Evening, so ideally you should have read at least that far into it before reading this. (And really, you should be reading it anyway, 'cause it's freakin' hilarious. ) If you just need a quick refresher, chapter two, Feel The Love, is where the wedding video is described.

Applejack gets put in an awkward spot when Twilight asks if she can spend the day staring at her butt.
