-Rarijack- -First Person POV-

Applejack helps Rarity to make a sad thing beautiful, as perfect as it can be and more, and then they decide- well, mostly Rarity actually- that having a foal of their own is a marvellous idea.
Yes. Applejack is somewhat confused too.

Comedy tag for some light-hearted humour and parenting antics.

For 394VikingPinkiePie who inspired this story with her artwork. I highly recommend following the link and browsing her DeviantArt. She also made that adorable cover art.

Rarity is hosting the annual Societé Fabrique soiree. Everything is going splendid thanks to some help from her friends. It's a bit boring, true. The social strictures of hosting tend to make for a rather dull night, but luckily for Rarity, she has Applejack to keep her company.

A new Saddle Arabian restaurant opened a couple months ago, and Rarity has been suggesting she and Applejack give it a try ever since. With Hearth's Warming just around the corner, and the restaurant just one town over, Applejack decides it would make a good early present and takes Rarity out to dinner.

Now, if she could just quit worrying about those clouds rolling in and focus on their date...

(Oneshotober 2014—Contains RariJack and ponification of real-life events.)

Once upon a time there was a little pink pony who lived on a rock farm and wanted nothing more than to be happy.

Earth ponies have been farmers since ponies were ponies. As time moves on they are still farmers but how they do things has changed. For some of them at least.

Originally submitted to Writeoff.me under Forbidden Knowledge.

When Rarity invited Applejack to spend a beautiful summer's day together, neither pony could have imagined it would be brought to an abrupt end by a Prince from the neighboring country of Saltlickenstein inviting Rarity to his magnificent jeweled city to commission her fashion skills.

The regal and charming Prince Lazuli sweeps Rarity and her friends off to his beautiful kingdom, but as things start to go wrong for the unlikely friends it's up to Applejack to uncover a sinister plot and stop a ruthless villain.

But can she do it in time to rescue the elegant purple-haired unicorn? And can she face her fears of destroying their friendship forever for the sake of something even more special between the odd-couple?
