//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: The Pear in Me // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// It's a new day and Pear Butter is out watering her flower garden. Meanwhile, Bright Mac watches her work from his view in the Apple Family Apple Orchards. He kicks a tree and shakes the apples loose as he keeps his eyes focused on her. Pear Butter and Bright Mac sigh. "I wish I wasn't a Pear," sighs Pear Butter. "And I wish I wasn't an Apple, then we could be together," sighs Bright Mac. He then begins to sing. "I've loved you since the first day we met. Now we can't help falling hoof over hoof for each other. These are the times I wish I wasn't an Apple. These are the times I wish I was some pony else." Pear Butter joins in on the song. Sometimes I wish I wasn't a Pear. Sometimes I wish I was some pony else. That way I wouldn't have to hide my love for you. Sometimes we wish we weren't what we are. Sometimes we wish we could just be some pony else. Oh how we wish we could be some pony else!" They sigh then get back to work. Pear Butter leaves her garden and goes back inside and sits on her bed and tunes her guitar. Bright Mac just smiles at her through her window. How he wishes he could be her Romeo, her hero! How she wishes she could be his Juliet, his fair maiden, and the angel in his life! Alas, their parents will never allow it and they know that all too well.
