Applejack's Journal II

Dear Journal,

Hoo boy. I am in TROUBLE.

Like, in more trouble than the time Mac caught me going through his phone. And texting Fluttershy pretending to be him.

...I still think it was funny.

But oh MAN I am in it now.

I like Rarity.

I mean, I've always LIKED Rarity. She's my best friend and everything. But I think I LIKE LIKE her, and that's not GOOD.

Damn it all, my first real-life crush on a girl and it's my doggone best friend since kindergarten. Ain't that a kick in the teeth?

Just gonna have to bury it, though. Rarity's the most boy-crazy girl I ever did meet.

Alright. Ending this now. Over and done with. Me and Rarity = NEVER HAPPENING.

Good-night, journal.

Oh! Almost forgot today's quote from that dumb calendar Apple Bloom got me. Let's see.

"Love is friendship that has caught fire."

...

shit.
