 (Again, I'm open to all advice you guys have, enjoy!)





"Shoot, that's three losses in a row! I knew you'd be stronger than me, but I didn't think you'd beat me this easy!" I said, rubbing my forearm from its repeated beatings."Alright, you win, but since I called for two rematches, does that mean I now owe you three favors?"

She looked at me slyly and said "Darn tootin'! I won three times, I get three times the winnin’s, right?"

I shrugged and asked "What do I gotta do?"

With the same sly look she said "I never said they had to be used right away, now did I?"

I thought for a minute, then shrugged and said "I guess not. So what do you want to do now?"

She tapped her hoof to her chin for a moment before simply stating "Eat."

I got up and went into the kitchen to make some salads (After having almost brought her a ham sandwich, but catching myself halfway back to the room with a facepalm). 

Once I got back, she looked at me with a hungry look in her eyes "Finally! I'm starvin'. Let’s eat!"

I sat down next to her and watched as she dove into her salad "Slow down, I don't need a choking pony on my hands!" I said, laughing.

She looked up at me, and blushed. "Sorry, I haven't eaten since last night," she said sheepishly.

"It's fine, I just don't want a girl as pretty as you choking is all... oh wait, I mean-" I realized what I had said and tried to fix it.

She gave me a sly look and said "Oh, so you think I'm pretty? Well, you ain't too bad yoursel-" She stopped immediately as we looked over to see my brother open the door.

"Hey Alex, I know you're busy and all, but have you seen my cell pho-" He gasped and froze as he looked to see Applejack sitting next to me. I stood up and reached around him, closed the door and began to try stopping him before he flipped. "Alex, is that Appl-MMF!"

I slapped my hand over his mouth and started. "Yes Nick, that is Applejack. I'll explain this to you in a minute. She IS here, I don't how, I don't know why, and the craziness you're about to exert, and waking up grandma will NOT help the situation, okay?"

Slowly, he nodded, and I released my hand from his mouth, and he took a deep breath, "Okay, I'm gonna walk away and leave you to be alone with her, but if Fluttershy shows up and you don’t at least let me meet her, I WILL KILL YOU! Even if you go with them, I will find you and destroy you, capish?" he said, poking my nose.

"S-sure thing bro." He gave me an evil look and left.

I walked back in and I sat back down next to Applejack, this time face to face, as opposed to side by side like earlier. 

"Okay sugar, what’s the deal? How did he know who Fluttershy was, and how did he know who I am?"

I gave her a bit of a scared look and said "Well, this is crazy, but you gotta believe me on this. In this world, we have a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and it portrays just a few of you and your friends’ adventures, and in this world that show has grown a rather large fan base, and its members, including my brother and myself call ourselves Bronies, a mix between the words bro, and pony. As was just shown by my brother a moment ago, his favorite pony was Fluttershy, and mine was...you. Any ques-"

My words were stopped cold as Applejack leaned forward and kissed me. My mind went blank as was over loaded with questions. WHAT? WHY? HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!? At the peak of my overload I suddenly relaxed as she put her hooves around me. Without even thinking I did the same and started pushing in with my own kiss. Eventually we needed air , so we parted and started breathing heavily.

"O-ok, now I have to ask, what?... Why?... How?"

She looked me in the eyes and said "That is what we needed to talk about earlier. I could tell that you were nice enough when I first met you, but after having spent these past couple of hours with you I started likin' you more and more. I kinda figured what you were gettin' at just now, so I cut to the chase for you, and apparently my hunch was very correct... also... I know i most likely wont be here forever... so i'm gonna make sure I don't have to have any regrets once i do go..."        

I looked at her for a moment with a surprised look, "Wow, does being the element of honesty let you read minds, too?"

She chuckled and said "No, you're just that easy to read."

I shot her a devious smile and tackled her, pinning her down. "Ha! I got you down pat! Who’s easy to read, now?"

As these words left my mouth, she used my moment of cocky pride to her advantage. She flipped me over before I could even realize that I was moving "I believe that would still be you."

I tried futilely to regain dominance, but she wasn't going to be letting me do that anytime soon. She leaned down and kissed my nose,

I looked at her and said "So, is this going to be a regular thing?"

She laughed and put her hoof on my face and whispered in my ear, "Only if you want it to be, sugar cube." She sat back up and laughed.

Seeing the moment to strike, I flipped her over on her back and sat on her belly once again, this time holding her hooves down to prevent a repeat of the last time I held dominance; I leaned down and kissed her nose just as she had done to mine. I looked into her eyes and let myself get lost, and before I knew it, the sun poked through the window and its rays landed directly on my eyes.

"Oww..." I looked up and saw that the sun had already started rising up out of the night. A knock sounded on the door; I dived to it, holding it shut. I motioned for her to hide under the covers of my bed or something, and she crawled into my bed and gave me a wink.

"Who is it?" I said through the door.

"It's your grandmother; we're taking the day off today. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast, come on out if you're hungry."

I waited until I was sure she had gone before I walked over to Applejack and asked "Hungry?"

She poked her head out and said "Sure as sugar!" I stood up and walked over to the door. I put my hand on the knob, when Applejack said "Wait, I got somethin' for you." She got out of the bed and walked over to me. She then gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for bein’ so sweet to me."

I looked at her for a moment, then said "Any time..." With that said, i turned and left to get our food.
