//------------------------------// // Applejack's field day // Story: My little compilation // by Viper Freak //------------------------------// Applejack’s field day Applejack smiled as she trotted up the stairs of the Apple family home and toward the guest room that’s located at the end of the hallway of the second floor, attending to wake up the human inside and make him earn his keep if he wished to stay. Applejack gave a few hard knocks before opening the door, ‘Rise and shine big guy,’ she called out happily, ‘it’s time for you to go to -‘ but as the door fully opened, she saw that the bed was already empty and made up, wilst her guest was nowhere to be found within the room. The sound of running water coming from the bathroom told her that he was washing up and trotted toward it and gave a couple knocks, softer this time, before opening the door, ‘Howdy partner, didn’t hear you wa-hay-yay-ke-‘ Applejack couldn’t get the last word out as she looked at the shirtless human with her mouth hanging open. ‘Ah’m sorry,’ Applejack exclaimed as she pulled her hat in front of her eyes, not only to avert her eyes from him, but to also hide the blush that had formed on her cheeks, ‘Ah just wanted to let you know that breakfast is ready in a few.’ She then turned around and took off toward the stairs, only stopping when she entered the kitchen, getting odd looks from her family when she passed. Applejack tried to look busy with breakfast, but froze up as she heard the bipedal coming down the stairs and greeting the family sitting around the table, even getting a giggle from Apple Bloom as he lightly ruffled her main, but said nothing of what happened upstairs. She let out a sigh of relief and left the kitchen with a tray of food balancing on her back, ‘come and get it.’ After breakfast and the additional cleaning, everyone left the house to go to work. AJ and her human partner making their way toward the West field. ‘Alright sugar cube,’ Applejack said as she came to a stop between him and a apple filled apple tree, ‘this is how we get the apples, we buck em.’ she then galloped toward the tree, then spun around when a mere feet away and kicked the trunk with her hind legs, using enough force to make the apples fall down into the baskets below, standing with her front and hind legs crossed and a smug smile on her face soon after. Her partner just chuckled and gave her a mocking applause, getting a raised eyebrow from the mare, ‘Alright Mr. wise guy,’ she said with a grin, ‘lets see how you do it.’ and pointed to the next tree. He walked toward the tree and looked it over for a few moments. Once he had chosen a spot, he spun around and kicked high on the trunk, making the tree shake vigorously and the apples fall down. Applejack looked on with her mouth agape, but soon shook it off and smiled, ‘Not bad. Let’s see if ya can keep it up.’ The two continued on, going tree after tree whilst having small talk along the way, until they had two carts full of apples. Taking a cart each, they walked side by side toward the barn, the heat of the sun bearing down on them, ‘Phooey, it’s mighty hot already.’ Applejack said as she stopped for a moment to wipe the sweat from her forehead before turning to the human, ‘Don’t ya agree su-‘ her words died in her mouth as she watched him take off his shirt, a red blush forming on her cheeks while she kept her wide eyes on him as he placed the clothing on the cart and started to pull it once more. An elderly chuckle stopped AJ from gawking and turned toward the old mare, ‘What’s so funny, Granny?’ ‘Oh, not much,’ Granny said as she stopped in front of her, bearing a knowing smile, ‘just noticing that you like what you saw.’ then chuckled some more as she saw Applejack’s face turn beet red. ‘A-ah don’t know what you’re talking about,’ AJ said as she tried to sound confident, but failed, ‘N-now if you’ll excuse me Granny, ah have a apple cart bring to the barn.’ then turned away from the old mare with her head held high, though she couldn’t get rid of the dark pink blush on her face when she trotted toward the barn with a fast pace. Granny just chuckled at the site and made her way toward her rocking chair. Later in the afternoon, Applejack and her human companion were resting in the shade of one of the trees, the latter asleep as the former was at war with her thoughts, C’mon Applejack, She scolded herself as the images of a shirtless human plagued her mind, ya shouldn’t be thinking of him like that. He’s a good friend, nice and a hard worker. Not to mention he likes to keep fit and that he likes honesty in a gal. Applejack blinked a couple of times, then frowned, Darn it! That still doesn’t mean ah like him. Her mind kept battling her feelings, and her feelings were winning, ‘Dagnabbit!’ she suddenly exclaimed, waking the human. But before he could ask what was wrong, did Applejack give him a kiss on his lips, both their cheeks flushed red when AJ released the kiss, ‘Sorry about that, but ah guess ah wanted to tell ya that ah like you, and was hoping you like me to.’ She turned her head away, awaiting a negative reply. But instead got her head turned toward the man with a gentle hand and got a kiss as answer, returning the kiss right after. Once they both parted, they heard a small squee coming from the side, making them turn their heads toward it and seeing Apple Bloom standing there with a happy smile as she said, ‘Ah’m getting another big brother!’ The end
