Bright Mac and Pear Butter laughed as they ran, eventually falling to the ground sharing a heartful laugh. The laugh soon subsided with the couple looking at each other lovingly.
"Remember when we thought we were a lost cause?" Bright Mac said. "I certainly do."
Pear Butter chuckled. "Quiet, you," she teased lovingly. They looked out into the horizon, her breaking the silence. "Our parents are gonna be hella mad," she remarked.
Bright Mac smiled, chuckling as well. "But I don't care," he said. "Look out into the horizon. We're free, Pear Butter - free. Free to go wherever we want without worry that our parents will know where we are. We're far away from it all. There ain't no way they'll find us out here. You can count on it."
"Are you certain they've got maps all the way out here? It's beautiful, but it's in the middle of nowhere," Pear Butter said.
"All the more reason to not worry about it. We're safe. Olly olly frickin' oxen free." He put his hooves behind his back, relaxing.
After a few hours, the couple fell asleep while cuddling each other close. The next morning, however, they woke up on top of each other. The two blushed and chuckled awkwardly.
"Crazy how we already were on top of each other. Shows how much we love each other, huh?" Pear Butter said.
Bright Mac chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah," he said. "And before marriage too." He shuddered. "What a no-go."
Pear Butter chuckled, ruffling his mane. "You're so cute, you know that?"
Bright Mac blushed, a huge smile crossing his face.
"Well, let's get married. We eloped for a goddamn reason, so let's get this show on the road!" Pear Butter said.
Bright Mac and Pear Butter faced each other and snuggled close. Then, they kissed as Bright Mac put an apple donut on both of their hooves.
"Go on. Take a bite," Bright Mac said.
Pear Butter chuckled. "Bite your hoof? Why, you're quite the sleaze!" She smiled. "That's one of the reasons I love you."
Bright Mac chuckled as well. "No, silly!" he said. "Bite the donut!"
"That didn't come out right, now did it?" Pear Butter said.
"Nope," Bright Mac said.
"Well, I'll bite the donut then," she said.
So they took a bite out of each of their donut rings, licking their lips.
"That's a mighty good donut. Did ya make it?" Pear Butter commented.
Bright Mac smiled, blushing awkwardly while rubbing the back of his neck with his hoof. "It ain't that good."
"Aw, shucks! Don't be so modest, sugarcube! Your apple donuts are the best in Equestria!" Pear Butter said, nudging him.
Bright Mac blushed. "Aw, really? Ya really think so?"
Pear Butter smiled, nearing closer to him. "I know so," she said. "Much better than them pear donuts. Pear donuts don't taste as good. Some say they have a bland taste to 'em. They ain't much good at all, so I'm mighty glad you never tried 'em."
Bright Mac chuckled, a big grin crossing his face. "I can take your word for it," he said. "So, you're sayin' you like apples better than pears? They're sweeter, you're sayin'?"
"Are ya doubtin' me, sugarcube?" Pear Butter said, pulling him closer in a sensual manner.
"No, no. I'm not doubtin' you at all," Bright Mac said with a blush filling his face. "They sure are sweeter. Say, you're more of an Apple than you think. It's like fate brought us together."
"I thought you said ya don't believe in fate," Pear Butter said.
"I didn't 'til i met you," Bright Mac said. "The prettiest mare I've ever set my eyes on. That's you, Pear Butter. And I'm tired of runnin' and hidin'. I think we face the facts and get in trouble with our parents."
"You're a rebel, you," Pear Butter said with a chuckle. "I like it."
Bright Mac gathered up everything, heading home, with Pear Butter right behind him.
