**This particular chapter has nothing to do with the romance story of Luna and Mac. It's just a humorous idea I had while writing this. ~ Thanks for reading, everyone.
Not long after Luna and Mac had revealed their feelings Big Mac made a special trip to Canterlot with a very inquisitive fashionista in tow. Big Mac answered only a few of her questions, mostly to ensure that she would have a good time and that she would be back in a timely manner.
Rarity thought it odd, given his new relationship with Princess Luna but she eventually resigned herself to simply enjoying the trip with a good friend. When they had finally arrived Big Mac led her to a small restaurant where they sat and ate a fine meal.
As the finished, Rarity daintily wiped her mouth and spoke. "Big Mac, I do appreciate you treating me to such a nice day trip but why exactly did you bring us here today?"
Big Mac said nothing but pointed to a group of ponies sitting at a table not far from the two of them. Rarity quickly noted one of the ponies at the table, and the one Big Mac seemed to be indicating, was Prince Blueblood.
"Him? What about him? Besides being," she paused searching for more polite words than swears, "besides being a jerk, what about him?"
Big Mac smiled at her and spoke softly. "Just watch, Miss Rarity."
Rarity again glanced at the table and noticed a familiar looking waiter bringing a small glowing apple sliced into several pieces toward their table.
"Compliments of the house, folks."
Rarity gasped. "Big Macintosh, you're going to give one of your delicious apples to that horrid stallion? Why would you.. ?"
Big Mac reached out and gently touched her shoulder. "Miss Rarity. Just watch."
Rarity turned her attention again to the table. Everyone seemed delighted by this new surprise fruit they were being treated to. Each sang the praises of how delicious it was. When Blueblood took a big bite of his slice he immediately spat it out and began trying to find something to take the taste out of his mouth.
"Oh my! That is the most horrid thing I've ever tasted in my entire life! Waiter! Why would you bring us such a disgusting dessert!?"
A different waiter rushed to the table and questioned them on what happened. Blueblood explained that another waiter had brought them a free dessert and that it had been horrid, though the other ponies at the table didn't exactly share Blueblood's disgust.
The waiter calmly explained that the restaurant also never gave complimentary food, as a policy. Which brought a tirade from Blueblood but several of his stallion friends spoke up and began to give Blueblood a hard time about pestering the waiter just because he had gotten the bad part of the apple. Blueblood quickly became flustered and stormed out of the restaurant followed by chuckles from the ponies at his table.
Rarity looked at Big Macintosh. "But why did he..?"
"Not like it when I like every pony? A little secret between you and me, Miss Rarity. I don't much care for him, either."
Rarity giggled herself silly. "Oh, Big Macintosh that was fantastic. The best dessert I've ever had, you could say. Just one question, who brought them the apple in the first place?"
Big Mac pointed at the pegasus walking out of the bathrooms, Rarity recognized him as Soarin' of the Wonderbolts. Big Mac gave him a slight wave and Soarin' gave a smile and a nod as he proceeded to a small table with a rather large slice if pie waiting on a plate.
Big Mac leaned in close to Rarity. "Let's just say he's a huge fan of Granny Smith's zap apple pie."
Rarity again lost herself in a fit of laughter as they both rose and exited the restaurant. "Thank you, Big Mac, for this lovely day."
"No. Thank you, Miss Rarity. For your kind words the other week. You really gave me the push I needed."
Rarity smiled at him. "We'll call it even then." They shared another laugh as they boarded the train bound for Ponyville.
