//------------------------------// // Southern Passion - 1 // Story: You belong with me // by Star Racer //------------------------------// You Belong With Me by Anderson Alicorn Chapter 1: Southern Passion South U.S.A, Mid East U.S.A, two different parts, two different beauty padrons, what do you think is more beautiful? The Sweet Countryside? Or the Elite? Applejack and Rarity are that kind of beauties that you see there, and who's between them? Twilight's assistant: Spike. Living in Ponyville after their arrival, Spike had a crush on Rarity at the first sight, that is no surprise at all, since almost every stallion has a crush on the most beautiful fashionista in town, Applejack is another case, working at the Sweet Apple Acres, Spike only saw her as a friend, but when time passes, this friendship gets closer and closer, and when you know, you don't have a crush on the person you THINK you have a crush, sometimes, the crush is directed to another one, and Spike's still not realizing that, but if you wake up, you can see that "what you were looking for, has been here the whole time" (Taylor Swift in the music You belong with me), that's why Spike can't see, he belongs to Applejack, not Rarity... Sweet Apple Acres, 10 in the morning, another work routine to Applejack, or, that's what was going to be normally, Twilight asked her to go to an Apple party that Pinkie is going to run, her friend is very exhausted so Pinkie thinks a party could lighten things up... or spark things up (Play "Fearless" from Taylor Swift here) "Thanks for inviting me Twilight! Ah couldn't take the chance to lose this Apple party!" Applejack was with Twilight going to Sugar cube Corner, the party was like a pre - birthday party to Applejack, since her birthday is next week. "That's all we can do Applejack! You sure need it! The rest of our friends and pets are already there as well!" said Twilight, her long friend. "Ah can't thank ya enough!" Applejack answered, they arrived at Sugar cube corner, when they got in Pinkie's room... BOOM! A Canon blew up "HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY APPLEJACK!!!" Yeah... It was Pinkie Pie... "Whoa Pinkie! Thanks enough, but you scared he there!" Applejack said "Oopsy Woopsy! My bad!" Pinkie apologized "Now ONTO THE PARTY!!!" The party was lasting for some minutes, because sometimes, Pinkie's parties could last for 2 years... Funny right? Ah think ah'm gonna grab an Apple... Applejack thought, she was hungry, when she got to the apples, she choose one, but another hoof, or may we see, PAW, was reaching it, when it reached, it touched Applejack's hoof instead of the apple, when Applejack turned... (Play here "You belong with me" from Taylor Swift) turned out that was Spike. "Oops! Sorry Applejack! Y-You can take that apple! I'll get another one!" Spike said, a little nervous about what happened. "Uh... that's OK sugar cube... Ah'm... Ah'm OK!" Applejack answered, a little confused as well, but one thing hit her head that moment, but she still wasn't understanding... What happened? Spike and I are only friends! That may can't happen! And it doesn't need to, since Spike has a crush on Rarity... Ah... Rarity... that selfish ***** (No offense here) Applejack thought, offending a little Rarity, since she was a mid-eastern American pony... As if on cue, the earth started to rumble, and Rainbow Dash had to scream: "STAMPEDE!!!" It was a cow stampede... again... but Applejack was there, and she used the same strategy as the same time it had it once (Reference to "Applebuck season"), but when Spike took an ACTUAL look at Applejack, who was in front of the sun, her mane and eyes were shining, much to Spike's... gazing, her mane was tied, but the wind still made it flow though the air, Spike didn't moved around, he was too busy gazing at Applejack's southern beauty, until... "Spike?" Twilight called him "Huh? What?" Spike said, like he lost memory of everything that happened "Spike, you were in trance about Applejack?!" Twilight said, surprised "Who? Me? Ha! What are you thinking Twilight? We're friends! I couldn't be... gazing her right?" Spike said, trying to pretend to be innocent "Oh Spike..." Twilight said, accepting his innocence. Little did she know, that he was covering his REAL crush... (Applejack's POV) Well, saved Ponyville again! Phew! I need to rest a little, I was heading for Sweet Apple Acres to go to my room and try to sleep, but I bumped into someone, it was Twilight and Spike. "Oops... Mah bad Twilight!" I quickly apologized "Nah, I was talking with Spike, that's why I didn't saw you, did you knew he was staring at you?" when Twilight got to the part that Spike was staring at me, I quickly looked at Spike, which blushed for a while and then... "Uh... no! I wasn't! T-That's not true! C'mon Twilight! Let's just go to your library!" Spike protested, moving Twilight to the Golden Oak Library, you know, I always though he had a crush on Rarity, but on me? Nah, he doesn't have, or does he? Because, after what happened on the party, the hoof-to-paw touch, I always been thinking if Spike has a crush on me and not Rarity, that's strange, but... maybe I have it as well... When I got back to Sweet Apple Acres, I found my sister Applebloom trying to clean up Lil' Pig, I remembered when Spike said he needed to serve me forever and the first thing I ordered Spike to do was help Applebloom to clean up Lil' Pig, no easy job right? But he finished in only 50 seconds, which is amazing, because, Lil' Pig wasn't as I said she was, Little, she is totally the opposite, I then walked through where Granny Smith was baking pies, I remembered Spike making a huge mess making a pie to Granny Smith, hehe... then I remembered that area where Spike... saved... me... from... the timber wolf... and then I... What? Applejack?! What are you thinking?! Brain! Stop it! I cursed myself inside my mind, what was I thinking? I was thinking on Spike saving me from the timber wolf and then I started to think things about him all over! What in tarnation? ... well, I got onto my bed to sleep, the bad thing is, I didn't got a good sleep, everything because of one dragon... Spike
