Applejack's Diary

Chap 19.5

Dear Diary,

It's been three days since I declared myself and I haven't seen Alex. In almost as long as I've known him he's come every day to the market stand to see me. I see what they mean by absence makes the heart grow fonder. I feel I love him now more than ever.

On that subject, I've tried to buck some sense to Mac, and I think I've convinced him that he's not some monster come to take advantage of his little sister. I doubt he'll ever call him a friend, but I think he'll tolerate him now.

Speaking on Mac, before I talked to him today, he sure seemed upset about something. He mentioned visiting with Dash. I guess he found out she was pinning for Alex too.

I'm kind of upset at myself for harbouring bad feelings toward Dash. She didn't do it to spite me, and I can see why she would love him. And, I'm not going to cheat by seducing him like Rarity would. Not my style. Come to think of it, not Dash's style either.

But, I know I have an edge, fair and square over Dash. I remind him of Ann, and that should be enough, right? That practically makes me part of his family, so I don't know why I'm worried. I just hope Dash can forgive me.

Signed
Confidently Waiting
