A few days later in Canterlot High, while it's their lunch time, Applejack and Rarity having some conversation. "Hey Rarity, there's someone that I would like to introduce you to someone in my farm barn. I hope you like him”, Applejack said. "Well, I'm very interested for that. But you must introduce me to someone that is very kind. Unlike that guy, Spike, that shows disrespect to any girls in here”, Rarity replied "Don't worry, Rare", replied to her nicely. "The guy you'll about to meet shows hospitability to someone. I assure that he will show hospitability and kindness to you". "I've been looking for any boys in this school that who will like to have a love relationship with me, with those that who always cares about me, will love me andhe will not leave me. Unluckily, there's nobody. I don't like that guy Spike anyway at all. He has no respect to any girls”, Rarity said. "Don't worry Rarity, when you met that guy, I hope that he'll like you. And he is one of my cousins, so there's no worries", Applejack replied. "I have a picture of him. You wanna see?". Rarity handed over the picture of Applebrandy from Applejack. "He seemed to be nice, and cute", she blushes on his cuteness, "but I hope that he's so kind”. She browsed for more picture of Applebrandy, "Ooh, he's so hot. I think that I'm gonna like this guy." "Is he hot, ehh?", Applejack asked and teased a bit. "Yeah, dear", she handed her smartphone back to Applejack. Later at dismissal, Applejack and Rarity asked Sunset Shimmer and her friends that they'll go first. "Hey Sunset, Me and Rarity have to go now, there's somewhere that we would go”, Applejack said to Sunset. "Okay, have a good time guys”, Sunset replied. When Applejack and Rarity arrived in her family farm barn, in the apple orchard, where Applebrandy usually picking apples. "Here we are Rarity. Oh, there are lots of Granny's workers picking apples in this orchard. He must be in here somewhere in here”, Applejack said. They searched the entire orchard for Applebrandy, strolling together on the apple orchard Rarity found a guy, pointed on to him and asked Applejack, "Is that the guy that you want to introduce to me?" "No, Rarity. I think we should keep looking” AJ replied. They continued to seach for Applebrandy. "Well, that guy that you want to introduce to me somewhere in here. Well, it seems that he is not in--, OW!", Rarity stumbles and got her shirt dirty with mud. "Oooh, Yuck! I'm a mess to meet that guy. There's mud all over me” When Applebrandy heard someone who stumbles in the mud, he approaches Rarity. "Hey lady, are okay?", he asked. "Oh, can you please help me up?", Rarity said. When Applebrandy helped Rarity to stand up, he reminded him of someone on Applejack's picture that showed to him. "Who are you, miss?", he said passionately. He started to stare at Rarity's mane and her eyes. Rarity astonished when she met a guy, "Ahhh! Ooh". When she met a guy that reminds her of who Applejack showed to her, her eyes became sparkling, her cheeks gone red, and her eyeballs became heart-shaped, when she stared at him and got attracted. "Oh, dear, who are you too?" Applejack then approached her and cut her off. "Rarity, are you all right?", she said. "I'm fine, Applejack”, she replied. "I'm sorry Applebrandy for surprise met with her”, Applejack said to him. "Anyways, Rarity, this is the guy that I would like you to introduce”, Applejack replied. When Rarity met Applebrandy, she thought to herself, "Oh darling, he's so hot and cute. I hope that this guy is so kind” "So you're Rarity, right? I'm Applebrandy. Nice to meet you”, he offered her a hand shake and started to blush. She stared at his eyes, smiling and blushing/ "Oh, yes I am. Nice to meet you too, Applebrandy”, she replied, and she gave him a hand shake and started to blush too, and she kept holding his hand for a bit. "Well Rarity, I'm too timid to be called "Applebrandy". Call me AJ instead for short, though that's the nickname that my parents gave me", AJ said. "Oh, AJ rather, nice to meet you too”, Rarity replied. "Well Rarity, it seems that there's mud all over your dress, when you stumbled. Might if we wash away all of that mud in there?", he offered her to wash her clothes. "Hey Rarity, accept his offer. He's just showing to you how hospitable he is", Applejack encouraged her. "I... would like to get my clothes washed, so that my parents don't notice me why am I dirty", Rarity answered him nice. "But, whom should I borrow some clothes while my dress is being washed?" Rarity wondered. "What if you borrow some of my clothes in my bedroom while he's washing your clothes?", Applejack said. "Well, Applebrandy, lemme take off my clothes in Applejack's bedroom, and wash all of the dirt away on it”, Rarity said to him. "Well, Applejack and I will escort you to your room and let you change clothes", he replied. They went to Applejack's room and Rarity took off her clothes and gave it to Applebrandy. "AJ, here are my clothes. You can start washing it.” "At your service, Rarity” AJ replied. "Well, how long does it gonna take? Because I need to go home as soon as now” Rarity asked again. "Well, it will be an hour, or less. It'll be fast” AJ replied. Applejack let Rarity choose on what her clothes will she borrow. After she chose a dress and weared it, they went in the living room and had conversation about AJ. "So, Applejack, tell me about him” "Well Rarity, he is so hospitable at all times, ehh? He washes your dress. He's also a hardworking person. He works a lot in this farm barn to earn money”, Applejack explained to Rarity. "I'm starting to like him, because of his hospitability, aside of being attracted at him. Well I hope that we could talk more”, Rarity replied. While Applebrandy is washing her dress in the washing machine, he offered Rarity a drink. "Hay Rarity, I've got you some apple juice. You want some?". He brought her a glass of apple juice and he put it in the table. "How sweet”, Rarity thought to herself, closing her hands, smiling, and appreciated his hospitability. "Oh, no problem. Just leave it in this table”. She stares at Applejack trying to tell her something about Applebrandy. "He is so cute in his smile, his eyes are so beautiful as emerald, and his hair, it looks so emo and silky”, Rarity said. "Oooh, it seems that I'm crushing on him.", she added. "I told you Rarity, you'll appreciate him. Having a crush on him is just normal”, Applejack replied. While Applebrandy is going back to wash her clothes, he just heard on what Rarity said to Applejack on their conversations, and thought to himself, "Wow, I think she likes me then”. He just smiled on that. While they're having more conversations, she then whispered to Rarity, "Let's just hope that he likes and crushes on you too. Probably, someday, he might confess to you too". "Wow", Rarity replied. "Let's just hope someday. Tell me more about him". "Well, he is currently separated from his parents because his parents are working abroad, to provide his family with their needs by getting huge wages”, Applejack told Rarity about him further. "Oh darling, he is so wretched, but it will be worth for his family to work abroad” While AJ finished washing Rarity's dress and he will put it in the dryer, Big Mac, one of Applebrandy's relatives, judges and laughs at him on what is he washing. "Hay Applebrandy, what are you washing, bud? Wait, that's Rarity's clothes why do you have that?", Big Mac said, surprised and laughed. "What are you talking about and why are you judging me? Do I judge on what you doing?! Mind your own business, please!", he felt annoyed on what Big Mac said. "Okay fine, I'm sorry", Big Machintosh replied. Almost an our later, Applebrandy done washing Rarity's dress and carries a basket with her dress. "Hey Rarity, I'm done washing your clothes”, he said. "Oh darling, finally. I really need to go now, my parents probably looking for me”, Rarity said. "Well, get changed, Rare”, Applejack replied. After Rarity changed her dress, she walks outside Applejack's house, together with Applebrandy and Applejack. "Well, Applebrandy, err I mean AJ, before I'll say goodbye to you, I'd just want to thank you for your hospitability to me. You offered me everything and I appreciated it. You gave me an apple juice as a welcome drink, you washed my clothes, thanks for everything, AJ”, Rarity said to him passionately. "Oh, Rare, you're welcome”, he replied. "I catch you around, AJ”, Rarity said. "Bye, AJ", she added. "Goodbye Rarity, he replied” While Rarity walked out the farm barn, along her way, there are three guys known as "The Diamond Dogs" unexpectedly emerged on Rarity. Two of them are attempting to snatch her purse and one is trying to hurt and slap her. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING GUYS, LET GO OF ME!!", she screams. "Get her purse!", said one of them. "HEEEELP!!", Rarity screamed. From the farm barn, Applebrandy heard her scream. "Oh, Rarity!", he exclaimed. He then grabbed a knout, then he runned in the place where Rarity is being victimed to save her from being molested. "LET GO OF ME BOYS, HEEELP!!!", she continues to scream. When Applebrandy is on his way to Rarity, he beat one of them surprisingly with his knout, then he continues to beat all of them until the three guys gets knocked out. While he's beating the guys out, she seemed to be surprised that it is Applebrandy, saving her from peril. "AJ?", she asked. She approaches Applebrandy and gave him a tight hug because she was so scared. "Oh dear, thanks for everything. I was so scared when those three guys trying to rob my purse. Thank you, thank you”, she continues sobbing. While he's being hugged by Rarity, he used to comfort her. "Well Rarity, you should be careful when you're walking along this street at night. There are crazy people roaming around in this street. Would you like me to drive you home so that you would be safe when you come home?", he offered her another favor. He continues to comfort her until her affright fades out. "Well, I knew it's too perilious in these streets at night, like what my parents told me. I can't stand in here walking my way home. Go ahead, drive me home. I'm so scared when I'm walking on these streets at night", she replied. "Let's go get my truck" he said. They went to his garage and get his pick-up truck. Applebrandy let Rarity hop on his pick-up truck and drives her way home. They had conversations while he's driving her way home. "When did you learn driving?", Rarity said. "Since when I finished high school” Applebrandy replied. "Oh AJ, there's something I would like to tell you, darling” she said. "What is it?", he asked. "You know, you could be my best friend too, like Applejack. You started to care on all over me. You showed me all of your hospitabiity, you offered me any useful things that I appreciate. You made me satisfied on your attitude”, she explained to him. "Thanks Rarity”, he replied. "How's your high school life in Canterlot High?", he added. "So fun, made a lot of friends, including you, when I met you, for being so kind on me”, she said. "So sweet. I have been having a lot of friends too in my high school life, like you, like Applejack”, he said. "How is your college too? Are you usually stressed in your college studies?", she asked. "Most of the times when I'm not on my free time”, he replied. "When you stepped on college, you will be stressed too and coupe on the difficult ones, so you must not be lazy and study hard when in college", he added. "Oh dear, it seems that I must train myself, before or when I stepped on college. I case you haven't know where I live, lemme tell you the directions”, she replied. After Rarity gave Applebrandy the directions on her way home, while they're almost there on her way home. "That will be the house over your right. That's my home", Rarity said. "Wow, your house is so lovely”, Applebrandy attracted on to her house. "AJ.”, she asked to cut him off. "I think we should back off, my parents will know that I have been drived home by someone else". "Okay fine”, he said. He backed off his pick-up truck for some distance. "I'll just hope that you'll meet my parents soon, AJ", she said. "Before I'll go, I'd just want you to tell you a lot, that you drove me home, showed me all of your hospitability when I met you for the first time. Thanks for everything AJ”, she added. "Can I have your number, AJ?", she asked. "Sure. Gimme your phone, I'll type down my mobile number” He handed Rarity's phone and typed down his mobile number and his MyStable account name. "You don't need to get my home phone number because you can usually ask Applejack for it”, he added. "Yeah right, dear. Once I had your number, I'll call you sometime. You can also add me in MyStable. I'll write down my account name in my memo. Also my mobile number, so that you could call me on our free time”, Rarity replied. He handed over Rarity's phone and gave back to her when he's done typing his mobile number, and she handed the memo with her MyStable account and her mobile number written on it. "You can also ask Applejack for another way on contacting me in there”, she added. "Look, thank you for once again for driving me home for the first time, AJ”. She gave him a kiss in the cheeks for offering her a favor. He then blushes when she kissed him and stared on her. "I'll catch you around, AJ” She get off on his pick-up truck. "Bye, Rarity”, he said. "Goodbye, AJ”, she replied. While he's driving back on to his farm barn at night, he started to think that Rarity likes him and fell in love while driving. He also like her though. Meanwhile at farm barn, Applejack is wondering where Applebrandy could be. "Applejack, have you seen Applebrandy?", Granny Smith asked. "Not yet, Granny, he has gone over an hour ago”. Later when Applebrandy came back at the farm barn, Applejack asked him immediately. "Hey Applebrandy, where have you been? We've been waiting for you over half an hour ago. Anyways, it's dinnertime”, Applejack asked. "I had to drive Rarity home. She was almost kidnapped by those three guys out there. She was so scared when I saved her from trouble, so I asked her to drive her home”, Applebrandy replied. "Oh, I knew that it was Rarity screaming out there. I was wondering where that screaming came from. When you saved her, is she okay?", she said. "She's fine, Applejack. Safe and sound. I comforted her when she's really scared what happend”, he replied. Applejack, Applebrandy and their relatives had dinner then. After they had eaten dinner, Applebrandy thought of chatting Rarity through MyStable. He asks Applejack first, and presented the memo with Rarity's account name written on it. "Hey Applejack, is this Rarity's account in MyStable?", he asked. "Lemme see, Applebrandy.... Oh, yes. Did she gave you her account name?", she said. "Yes, right when I dropped her in her house”, he replied. He went to his room and started his video chat with Rarity, by sending her a chat message. "Hi, Rarity . How you doing?", to Rarity "Oh dear, hello. You just surprised me when you started a chat on me hehe. I'm fine darling, jJust getting my homework done, and working some of my new dresses”, she replied. She turned on her video chat to see him through web cam. "Darling, can you please turn on your web cam? I'd just wanna see you in there”, she sent him a chat message. "I already turned on my web cam and waiting for you to turn it on", she added He also then turned on his webcam. "Hey Rarity, you see me already?", he said through audio chat. "Oh dear, I can already hear you, but I haven't seen you yet on --", she cut herself when she already sees him through web cam, "Oh, I can already see you. You already see me?". "Yeah, I can already see you when I turned my webcam in here. I can see your room in there. It's so lovely”, he said. Well AJ, it's up to you if you would like to stop by into my house”, she replied. "Can you tell me about yourself, Rarity?", he asked her. "Well darling. I'm a fashion designer. I used to design dresses for my clients. Sometimes, I work a lot harder in designing dresses”, she answered "How fascinating, Rare. I assure you that you have good wages you collect from your clients.”, he commented very proudly "Tell me about your self then, dear”, she then asked him about his interests and hobbies. "I'm an apple farmer Rare, just like Applejack. I'm picking apples in the apple orchard for the main ingredient of Apple Pie, in which what we bake to sell it”, he answered then "Your job is so watering. I bet that I'll be starting to think of you when eating apples or any foods that it is made from apple. Thank's for the apple juice again, Applebrandy, I liked it”, she replied passionately. Applejack sudddenly bothered in with Applebrandy, and checking out their chat between him and Rarity. "Oh, how sweet you are in your chat?", Applejack bothered and teased him. "Oh, Applejack... ahehehehehe..”, he blushed out, "...we're fine. Just sharing our interests” Rarity said to Applejack in her web cam. "Applejack? Is that you over there, trying to bother us? Hehe, just kidding” "Oh, hi Rarity. I'd just heard of Applebrandy that you're sharing interests of each other”, Applejack said to Rarity. "Oh yeah. He is so cute Applejack, everytime he smiles. Also, his eyes and freckles are beautiful, just like yours", Rarity replied while blushing. "This is the most adorable friends that I've ever seen”, AJ said. "Oh, you too, Applebrandy. you're also part of my friendship to you. I love you both as friends. As well as you dear, for showing me your kindness and respect”, she said passionately. Applejack then realized that Rarity must have her homework done. "Well Rarity, you must get your homework done right now. I have to finish my assignment too. Bye Rarity” "Bye Applejack”, she replied. Applejack then left their chat and his bedroom. Rarity continues to have a chat with Applebrandy. "Well darling, there's something that I want to tell you. It's up to you that you can come on to my house, though you know already where I live” "I'd love to. Will you be available on Saturday?", he replied "Probably, its my friends hangout, you might want to come with us, if you'd like to", she answered "Well, am I only a boy on a group? I'm so timid on that, ahehehehe”, he felt to be a little bit shy on their hangout. "Don't be shy on that. Just stay with me and Applejack, at all times. You can invite also your high school friends in out hangout, if you can still see them and if they're available so that you won't get so timid further”, she suggested to him. "Well Rarity, it seems that you need to do your homework now, like Applejack said. I have some work to do”, he's just concern with her. "Uhm... alright. Lemme figure out if I'm gonna stop by in your house by tomorrow. Thanks for everything once again. Signing off. Bye AJ, I'll see you tomorrow”, she then turn off her webcam, as well as he then turned off his webacm too. Rarity sent him her last chat message on him with the hugging emoji. "P.S. That emoji tells you that I'm starting to like you now. Also this is how I would like to say thank you for everthing”, she added "So sweet, Rare” "Signing out too. Bye”, he replied and signed out. After they had a video chat, Rarity takes a look on Applebrandy's MyStable profile and peeked some of his pictures. She downloads some his pictures to her phone and thought to herself, "Oh AJ, I just hope that you'll be mine soon” Meanwhile, Applebrandy also takes a look and Rarity's account and peeked some of her photos. He thought to himself when he saw pictures of her friends, "Wow, you've lots of friends in here Rarity. You remind me of my high school life”. Then he downloads her pictures in to his phone and thought to himself, "Oh Rarity, you're so cute and lovely in your selfie". He then set her photo as his wallpaper on his phone.
