	I don't know what's wrong with me. We are- were having a wonderful time together as a couple. Oh Celestia, I she doesn't hate me for what I did, I wouldn't be able to live with such a thing! Knock, knock. Somepony must be at the front door.

"Spiiike! Could you get the door please?!" I call out.

I hear the door open. Please don't let it be-

"Twi! Ya around?"

I hear slight chatter between Applejack and Spike, although, I couldn't hear much to understand what they were talking about. Sweet Celestia, she's here. What do I do? I don't what anything to separate us... It's all bec-

"Twilight? Ya in here?"

I hear Applejack's voice call out from beyond the opposite side of the stairs leading to the lower section of the library. I hear her trot down the steps. I turn around to see her there by the end of the stairwell. What a beautiful mare. I don't want to break-up with somepony like her. Applejack's lovely, orange coat, normally drenched in sweat due to her duties was always so enticing. Her unkempt, blonde mane that- Urgh! Please Celestia, I don't want her to come to hate me! I look down as Applejack approaches me and raises my head by the muzzle with her hoof. She could tell something was wrong.

"What'sa matter, sugarcube...?"

I pull my head away from her hoof and face the floor once again, not answering her question.

"Aw, Twi, still worried 'bout what happened yesterday?"

I nod. What had happened yesterday may be trivial, but I couldn't seem to let it go. It caused me to run away from Applejack for goodness sake!

"C'mon Twi, why're ya so worried 'bout what happened?"

"B-because... you're my special somepony..." I reply, lowly.

Tears begin to well up in my eyes. This is pathetic. Crying over something so trivial. If I was Applejack's special somepony, then I'd be strong for her, but I guess it's the doubt. The doubt that makes me think that Applejack and I aren't forever. That, since we're fillyfoolers, we'd have to end sometime and marry a stallion so that generations of our families would go on. I could hear Applejack heave a sigh. She then nuzzles her neck unto mine. 

"And Ah always will be," Applejack assures in her soothing voice that relaxed me all the time, "Ah could tell ya were upset ever since ya ran away teary-ah'd, but Ah never thought it'd affect ya that much."

She ceases her affectionate nuzzling and lifts my head once again, staring straight into my eyes. They were so enchanting, her eyes, green, and almost glistening. Applejack leans in and kisses me. I stand there, wide-eyed, and almost instantly melting into the kiss. I let out a slight moan of pleasure as small tears roll down my cheek. Until now, we have never kissed, even if the both of us had been only going out for such a short time. The kiss fills my body with a warm and affectionate feeling, a feeling that assured me that she would never leave me. Is this how kisses normally feel like? I hope so, they'd be very boring otherwise. Applejack is the first to pull away. A short five seconds. Five seconds that felt like a minute. Five seconds that made me feel like the happiest mare in Equestria. 

"Ya 'kay now sugarcube?" Applejack asks.

She still appeared a bit worried for me, most likely due to the tears.

I wipe away the tears, nod and reply with a, "Yes."

Applejack smiles. I nuzzle my neck with hers then pull away.

"I'm sorry for overreacting yesterday. I just thought about how it would be if you left me. How it would be if..." 

I pause for a moment. My chest suddenly felt as if somepony had struck me with a sharp tool. 

"How it would be if you left me for some other pony. A stallion. That stallion yesterday made me jealous, I guess. Flirting with you and checking you out."

"I'd never leave ya fer somepony else, Twi. I love you, and you only."

That last comment made me smile. Loving me and me only, huh. It was sweet, like candy. Hopefully she won't use the phrase so often that it would lose it's meaning. I want that meaning to last, to remind me all the time. To remind me that I'll be with her to the end. I kiss Applejack. I close my eyes, feeling more of the kiss. I count the seconds that pass and pull away from the kiss. Eight, topped. I giggle. She chuckles too.

"Since yesterday's date was, uh, 'canceled', why don't we go on another one today?"

I giggle once again. 

"I'd absolutely love to," I replied in way as Rarity would speak.

We both laugh. Applejack takes my left hoof and pulls me along with her. We head up the stairs to the main library and say goodbye to Spike. We were off on another romantic adventure. An adventure to get to know eachother more and more. On this adventure, we'd visit many places around Ponyville. We'd eat, play, run around and a bunch of other things lovesilly ponies do. But we'd soon get used to eachother and become as other couples that try to stay forever. Though, that was the fun and adventure in it. Lasting forever. If we could do that, it made us worthy of eachother and, hopefully, Celestia would place her blessing upon us and we'd get married. That would be wonderful. Applejack and I could adopt a filly or colt and raise him or her together. We'd grow old and a do a whole lot of things.

I shouldn't think too much of the future and get my hopes up too much, but it's what keeps me strong. Hoping. If I didn't hope, then I'd pretty much be, well, hopeless. Nopony wants to feel like that, they'd affect everypony, and if everypony were hopeless then- well you get the point. 

I wish I could take a picture of this moment. I want it to last forever and to remind me always of how I can fall apart, but be, once again, brought up by Applejack. Though, the best thing I can do now is store it in my own memories and never forget. I love you Applejack, so so much.
