Snow





Outside Carousel Boutique, snow was falling gently, blanketing Ponyville with a soft, delicate coating of white. Inside Carousel Boutique, there was a white-coated pony, delicately adding a few gentle, finishing touches to one of the many outfits scattered around her room.

"Hmm," she murmured, setting down the red sash. "It's missing something still..."

Her train of thought was derailed as there came a knock on the door. Frowning, Rarity walked over to the doorway, quickly adjusted her mane, and opened it.

The pony on the other side was easily recognizable. "Hey, Rares," Applejack said, bringing a hoof to her hat in greeting.

"Applejack! What a pleasant surprise. Do come in?"

Applejack nodded. "Don't mind if Ah do." She stepped inside, and Rarity could quickly tell that she had something else on her mind.

"Yes, darling?"

"Ah was wonderin'..." She brought a hoof up and scratched nervously. "Seein' as how it's kinda cold outside... Are you cold?"

Rarity raised an eyebrow. Surely, Applejack hadn't come all the way out here in the middle of a snowfall just to inquire about her comfort. "Why, no, Applejack, I'm perfectly fine," she answered truthfully."

"A- are ya sure?"

"Reasonably," Rarity answered.

"'Cause, Ah was thinkin'... Ah think you're kindof chilly."

Rarity cocked her head. "Is that so?" she finally said.

"Yeah. And Ah was thinkin'... You were cold, because it's snowing and such, so you might need me to... you know... help you warm up."

Rarity blinked.

"At Sweet Apple Acres."

Rarity blinked.

"Cause it's warm there," Applejack finished lamely. "With a fire and stuff."

Suddenly, Rarity's eyes grew wide with understanding. "Applejack, darling... Are you attempting to entice me back to your house, where you'll set me down in front of your fireplace and proceed to attempt to seduce me, whereupon I shall immediately accept your propositions and we two shall do unspeakable things long into the night?"

Applejack blushed the color of her cutie mark and her ears flew back. "Ah was just hopin' to cuddle in front'a the fireplace, but the, er, unmentionables part thingie doesn't sound half bad."

Rarity grinned deviously. Speaking of 'unmentionables'... "I'd love to accompany you. Just let me go get my coat."
