Applejack and Rarity, two ponies that are nothing alike. Applejack is the tomboy while Rarity like to care about her looks. They are so different from each other, they are the alfa and omega. Now imagen having them in the same house for a day, sometimes I hate my life.
I was standing by one of my windows watching some pegasus moving storm clouds, I still can believe that they can control the weather. They had missed a couple of rainy days so they had to make it up with a big storm, I didn’t mind that kind of weather, I always like rain and thunder. I was about to step away from my window when I could swear that I saw AJ and Rarity out there, there’s no way that they could be out now, they are not that stupid.
I just shrugged it off and went to my chair and sat down while I picked up the book I was reading, it’s was called Daring Do and The Dragon's temple. They might not have television in Equestria but they know how to write books, that’s for sure.
I had had about read five pages when someone knock on my door, I looked outside and saw that it had started to rain. You can wonder how the hell is out in that kind of weather. I chose to ignore it and go back to my book, but then someone knock again and this time more rapidly. I couldn’t help but groan, I took the bookmark in the book and I lay it on the table and went to see who it was.
When I open the door and I saw AJ and Rarity standing there, soaking wet. I could actually see through their clothes, why does god hate me? I leaned against the door frame and crossed my arms.
“Can I help you two?” I knew what the problem was but I couldn’t help myself.
One thing is for sure, they did not like what I said. “Not funny Fox, can you please let us in.”
“Sure AJ, when you tell me why you are out in this weather.”
AJ looked over to Rarity. “We are out in this weather thanks to her.”
Rarity but hand on her chest. “Me? All I wanted to do was to make the tree pretty.”
“We were supposed to take the dead branched down not make them fancy.”
“Well excuse me for having some class, unlike some other pony.”
AJ got right in Rarity face. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”
“You know exactly what I mean.”
I better stopped them before they start fighting. “Knock it off you two and get inn before you catch a cold.”
Before they went inside Rarity pointed at AJ feet which was muddy. “Do be a polite houseguest and go wash up, won’t you?” Then she walked in.
AJ looked at her with displeased face. “Just get in AJ.” She was happy that I said that.
Well inside Rarity saw that AJ hadn’t wash her feet. “Applejack, why are you walking into Fox’s house with muddy feet?”
AJ was about to responded to that but I beat her to it. “Rarity, do me a favour and shut up.” That got her eyes to widen and her mouth feel open. “This is my house and I don’t care that AJ are walking in with muddy feet, both of you head up to the second floor and changes your clothes. The bathroom is second door on your right.” I pointed at stairs and they went up. “You can borrow clothes from my room, it’s the first on your left.”
After they had disappeared up I left out frustrated groan, those two in the same house the entire night? God give me strength. I was about to head in to the kitchen to get a bucket a cloth so I could wash away the mud on the floor, then someone knock on the door again.
“What now?” I open the door and on the other side stood another soaking wet unicorn. “Sparkle? What are you doing out in the rain?”
She was shivering. “I was out reading and lost track of time and before I knew it, it stared to rain. Can I come in? My hotel is too far away.” I step aside to let her in. “Thank you.” She walked in.
“Just head up to the second floor and follow the voices, AJ and Rarity are up there.” She didn’t say anything, she just headed up there.
I walk into the kitchen to get bucket and cloth so I could clean up the mess on the floor, while I cleaned I could hear they talking upstairs.
Rarity. “Twilight, what are you doing here?”
“I was out reading and lost track of time and then it stared to rain, Fox’s house was the closet. What are you two doing here?” She answered.
AJ. “We are here because of Rarity.”
“It’s not all my fault you are also to blame.”
“Me? I not the one that decide to make the branches pretty.” AJ shouted.
Better stop this. “Would you two shut up, just dry yourself and get some dry clothes in my room already.” That got them to shut up.
I only shook my head, I don’t understand why those two have to fight over every single thing. I was almost finishing cleaning when I heard footsteps, I looked at the stairs and saw that the girls had change clothes. Then I notice that they weren’t wearing any bra’s, I could see the breast jumping up and down. It’s official, god hates me.
But the one thing that caught my attention was that AJ wasn’t wearing her hat, I have never seen her without it and it was weird. Her hair wasn’t a ponytail, it was hanging down. I Just shrugged it off but it was still weird.
I pointed at the couch. “Sit down and shut up.” They didn’t argue with that, AJ and Rarity took the couch while Sparkle took the other chair, she took out book from her bag and stared to read.
I finished cleaning up and put away the bucket and cloth, I headed into the living room and I could see that AJ and Rarity was trying not to look at each other. I just sat down in my chair and stared to read the Darling Do book again.
It was quiet for a while, until Rarity decide to open her mouth. “I must say Fox, you have excellent taste when it comes to cloths.” She looked down on her white t-shirt.
“You made them Rarity.”
“In did I did, I must say I have excellent taste when it comes to making clothes. Unlike somepony I know.” She looked at AJ.
“And what’s supposed to mean?” AJ answered with some anger in her voice
“Well, you could dress up like a lady once in a while.”
“Like you? No thanks, I prefer my old cloths. They are easier to work in, I can’t buck trees in dress. I wouldn’t be able to move and I would look like a fool.”
“Are you suggesting that I looked like a fool with what I’m wearing?” This can’t end well.
“I’m not suggesting anything, I know.”
AJ gave her an evil smile while Rarity became frustrated. “Why you, you, brute.”
I slammed my hand on the table. “Didn’t I tell you two to shut up?” I looked at the purple unicorn in my house. “Sparkle, do you have a book these two could read.”
“No, but…” She reached for a book in her bag. “I have this.”
She showed us a book. “Slumber 101, all you needed to know about slumber parties but were afraid to ask.” I couldn’t help but question the books tilt. “Slumber party? Really?”
Twilight was so excited that she stared to bunch up and down in the chair. “I always wanted to have a slumber party.”
“Not to say anything stupid, a slumber party is something kids have not full grown mares.”
Then she got a slumber face. “I never had any friends when I was little so I never got the chance to have a slumber party.”
Great, now I felt like an asshole. I never meant to make Twilight feel bad, I sighed. “Fine, have your slumber party with AJ and Rarity but, leave me out of it.” That got her good mod back.
“Excuse me, don’t we have anything to say in this matter?”
“No Rarity, you don’t. If this get you two to shut up then I will be happy and besides, this is my house.”
She was about to protest but I have her glare that got her to shut up, I looked at AJ who was also going to say something but one looked at me, you got the idea. While I did, that Twilight had run into the kitchen, probably to get things ready. For what, I have no idea.
“What are you doing in the kitchen Sparkle?” I asked her.
“Need things to make mud mask.”
That got Rarity attention, she got up and ran into the kitchen faster than I could blink. I looked over to AJ who had a worried face, I just shrugged my shoulders and headed to the kitchen to see what was happening. When I arrived, I could see that Sparkle and Rarity sitting by the kitchen table and was cover in green muck.
“What the hell are you two wearing on your faces.”
“It’s a mud mask, you are supposed to but on your face ad it will refreshes and rejuvenates your complexion.” Rarity answered.
Then AJ arrived. “Seriously? You both look ridiculous wearing that.” Then Rarity dragged AJ over to her and Sparkle with her magic, then she smeared the green stuff over AJ face. “Would you stop that.”
I couldn’t help but laugh a little when I saw AJ with a mud mask, now I wish I had a camera. “Looking good AJ.” She just gave me angry glare, then Rarity placed cucumber over her eyes making the whole thing complete.
“What in the world is this for?” AJ asked.
“To reduce the puffiness in one’s eyes of course.” Rarity answered.
“Puffiness shmuffiness,” She took then and then she eat them. “Now that’s good eating.”
I couldn’t help but shake my head of what I saw. “Well, you three have fun. I’m going back to my book.” I looked at Sparkle before I left. “You better pay back what you used to made that mud mask Sparkle.”
She hesitated a little before she answered. “Sure, I can do that.”
“Good.” I left the kitchen and the girls and headed back to my book. While I was reading I could hear laughter in the kitchen so I was guessing they had a good time, then they arrived back onto the living rom. “So, are you three having fun?”
Twilight had a big smile on her face. “Yes, this is so fun.”
“That’s good, minded telling me why you are back her.”
Twilight sat back in the chair and troublesome two sat back in the cough. “Twilight suggested that we should tell ghost stories, and she also suggested that you should be involved.” Said AJ.
“A ghost story? I don’t mind a scary story.”
Twilight clapped her hands together. “Who will go first?”
As soon those words left Twilight mouth AJ raised her hand. “ME:” I just rolled my eye of that. “I’d like to tell you the tale of the prissy ghost, who drove pony insane with her unnecessary neatness. Ooohhhhh.” I knew right now and then who she was talking about. “I’m sure you are all familiar with that one.” She said as she looked at Rarity.
Rarity just stuck her nose in the air. “Never heard of it. But I have a better one, this is the story of the messy Inconsiderate ghost who irritated every pony within hundred miles… Ooohhh.” Oh brother.
That made AJ angry. “That’s not a real story, you made it up.”
Rarity counter. “It is a ghost story, they are all made up.”
They were about to argued again. “She has a point AJ.” That got her to glare at me with angry look.
“Why are you taking he side in this?”
“I’m not taking any side in this.” I looked at Twilight. “Do you have a ghost story Sparkle?”
She shook her head. “No, I don’t maybe you do?”
A ghost story that might scare AJ and Rarity? I couldn’t help but give them an evil smile that made them very uncomfortable. “Sure, I have story for you all. Let me tell you about the evil doll.” I said that last part with very scary voice, I think they managed to pee on themselves.
“This story is about a 7 years old girl or a filly, she, her brother and their mother lived with her grandmother out on an island with only one way in and out. One day when they were eating breakfast an old truck drive up to their house, they all went to the window to see who was driving it, there was no one.” I thought by know that Twilight would ask me what a truck was but she was silence.
“They just stared at it but no one came out of it, then they heard a loud insisted banging on the front door.” I bang on the table three times scaring the hell out of them. “Their grandmother grabbed a knife from the kitchen to see who it was while the rest of the family had huddles in the couch, she looked out a side window and what she saw was nothing.” They were actually shaking.
“She looked back at the family to tell them that, then EVERY goddamn door in the house is banging, relentlessly. The entire family is terrified of what is happening, they could hear every door in the house and it made so much noise that the family had trouble hearing. Then they mother ran to the window where the truck was.”
“There she saw a man named Cousin. Cousin walked to the truck with a shotgun in his arms, he looked into the cab window and he stops. He goes pale, runs a hand down his face. Then he RUNS towards the house. The grandmother flings open the open the kitchen door when she him coming, when he’s inside he shouts; “Everyone behind the couch! GET DOWN!” He runs past them as all of them as the family runs to the couch.”
“Then the banging starts AGAIN, all the doors and now we can hear the windows rattle. It’s like a tornado or the end of the world. Those who lives there are too scared to even scream. Cousin flings open the door the front door and fires the huge shotgun, once, BANG, deafening. As he does, the truck roars into life and it sounds like a train. We scramble up; the banging stops, mercifully.”
“Cousin is advancing onto the lawn, gun leveled at the truck. The family run behind him, wanting to be out from the shaking, quivering house and near the one with the gun. The truck peals out, backwards, cutting across the yard and racing into a breakneck speed. Tires squeal, rubber is burned. Cousin fires again and they all cower behind him. He blows out the back window with the sound of a thousand plates smashing into linoleum but the truck never hiccups, just roars down the road. No tags, not even a vanity plate on the back.”
“There was NO ONE behind the wheel of that thing.”
“All of them had a clear view. Everyone agreed. Not a driver in the car.”
“Well, not anything they could SEE, anyhow.”
I wanted to tell them more but they were scared, their eyes were big as saucers and they were actually sweating. I decide to end the story. I don’t understand why they were scared, it wasn’t a scary story. “Twilight, what’s next?”
She shook her head. “Rrrrright.” She looked in her book. “That would be truth or dare.”
Truth or dare? Dear god, Rarity stared. “I dear Applejack to do something neatly and carefully for a change.”
AJ cocked an eyebrow. “Oh yeah, well I dear Rarity to lighten up and stop stressing over every… last… little… detail for a change.”
I slapped a hand on my face. “That’s not how truth of dear works.”
“He’s right.” I looked at Twilight. “You have to give an honest answer to any question, or do whatever any pony dears you to do.”
AJ looked at Rarity with an evil smile. “I dare you to step outside and let you precious tidy mane get wet.” Rarity gasp at that.
“You have to, is the rule.” Way to go Twilight, AJ just had victory smile.
“FINE.” She got up and headed to the door, I wanted to stop her but I was impressed that she actually did it.
When she came back in she was soaking wet and her mane was hanging down but that was not that got my attention, it was her breast. I could actually see them through the t-skirt she was wearing, unfortunately she saw that I was looking at them and she covert herself up. Killjoy.
Rarity gave AJ an evil glare, she walked over to the couch. “Ok, I dare Applejack to play dress up, in a fru fru glittery lacy outfit.”
AJ just smirked. “And where are you going to find that? This is Fox’s house, he doesn’t have a dress.”
“Actually.” I got up and headed up to the second floor.
The girls watch as he walked up. “What did he mean by that?” Asked Twilight.
Then they heard a door open. “Let see, where did I put that.” They heard Fox open another door. “There it is.” They heard a door close and then they saw Fox coming down with something in his hand.
Twilight wasn’t sure what she saw, Rarity has smile on her face while Applejack had a worried face. In Fox’s hand was a black dress.
“I know that this is not a glittery outfit but it’s a dress.”
“Where did you get that?” Twilight asked me.
“I got it from Octavia.” Then I realised what I said. “That came out wrong, what I meant that I’m keeping it for her. She bought this a few days ago, then she realised that she had to many dresses so she asked me to keep this while she sold some of her old dresses.”
Rarity clapped her hands together. “This is perfect, this is better than what I suggested.” She took it of my hand and handed it to AJ.
Applejack just looked at it. “There’s no way that I am wearing that.”
“You have to my dear Applejack, it’s in the rules.” Said Rarity with an evil smile on her face.
AJ was about to say something but she just took the dress and headed to the second floor, she gave me an ‘you are dead’ glared as she passed me. She has to try better than that. We then heard her from up stair, cursing. I lived whit AJ for three months and I know that she hates wearing dresses.
When she finally was ready we all got a shock when we saw her coming down the stairs, the black dress suited her perfectly, somehow her hair made her even beautiful. I was lost for words. I looked over to Rarity and Twilight and they had the same look as I have, I think the one that was most surprised was Rarity.
“Applejack, you look absolute lovely.” She got that right.
That made AJ blush. “No, I don’t.”
I don’t agree with Rarity that much bit this time. “She is right AJ, that dress suits you.” Even Twilight agreed, she didn’t say anything just nodded.
“It doesn’t, I’m going back up and changing back. Then I’m going to bed.” She looked at me. “Do you have enough beds so we can sleep on?”
“Yeah, sure. Twilight can take my bed, Rarity can take the one in the guestroom. I have a spare madras you can use but you have to lay on the floor.”
“Fine by me.” She went upstairs to get change.
“I don’t understand why she was so upset, she looked absolute beautiful in that dress.”
“Beats me Rarity.” I headed upstairs. “I’m going to find that extra madras. You and AJ have to sleep in the same room together.” Before she could say anything, I ran upstairs.
The night had come in Fox’s house, Twilight had taken his bed while he was lying on the cough trying to get comfortable, it wasn’t easy when his body was bigger than the couch. Meanwhile in the guestroom was Rarity and AJ, both was wide awake.
“I can’t believe that you made me put on dress.” Applejack told Rarity.
“You’re the one that got my mane and tail all wet.” Rarity answered.
“You deserve it, always talking about your mane are perfect.”
“Excuse me for trying to look pretty, unlike some pony I know.”
Applejack just rolled her eyes of what Rarity said. “I like my hair the way it is.”
Rarity didn’t answer, she just kept looking at the celling. “I miss my bed, I could be sleeping in good bed right now, not like this hard bed Fox has. And it’s all your fault.”
Applejack g sat up. “My fault? You’re the one that had to make the branches pretty, where was supposed to take them down.”
“For all that’s is holy in the world.” Both Applejack and Rarity heard Fox shout, then they heard him coming up the stairs, he then opened the door and he did not look happy. “Would you two shut up already, it’s both of your fault that you are here and not in your own house.”
“I don’t understand that you two are friends when your argued about everything, friends do argue from time to time but you two take it to another level. Can’t you just accept that you are different.” He slammed the door and went back down stairs, cursing the hole way.
Both Applejack and Rarity stared at the door processing what Fox just said, they didn’t like to admit it but he was right. They were different.
Rarity laid down in the bed. “I’m sorry Applejack, for what I did before the storm came.”
“Yeah, sorry that I shouted at you.” They couldn’t help but laugh of each other. “I guess we are both guilted for being in the storm, eh Rarity.” Applejack didn’t get any answer. “Rarity?” She looked over to the bed and saw that Rarity had fallen asleep, Applejack just smiled. “Good night Rarity.” Eventually she also fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning by something smelling good, but I forgot where I was so I feel right on the floor, face first. “Fuck that hurt.” I got up and decide to investigate what smelled so good. It was coming from the kitchen, that was obvious. When I arrived at the kitchen I got a shock.
Standing in the kitchen making breakfast was Applejack and Rarity, I had to slap myself in the face to see if I was seeing thing. After hitting myself in the face and my cheek hurts I had to ask.
“Okay, who the hell are you two and what have you done with Applejack and Rarity.”
Rarity stopped what she was doing and turned around. “Is that any way to talk to a mare Fox?”
“My house, don’t care. Answer my question, who are you two?”
She crossed her arms. “I have you know that me and Applejack have decided to put our differences aside and just accept that we are different.”
I was lost for words, two ponies that are like day and night managed to stop fighting. Considering they were ready to tear each other apart the day before, I guess you can learn something new every day.
