//------------------------------// // Bonus chapter! // Story: No glitter, just rarity the vampire! // by MidnightFMare //------------------------------// “I haven’t seen AJ in a while… wonder what she’s up to…” I leap out of my tree and trot to sweet apple acres After a brief exchange with Big Macintosh, I open the door to the barn silently, sneaking a glimpse inside “Applejack, are you in here?” “No! An’ Ahm’ not copyin’ the manuscript with mah printin’ press ‘er nothin’! Ehehe…” she replies, laughing nervously “Liar” I reply, jumping over the bales of hay “What in the name of Athena are you doing?” In the corner of the barn, I see her in the middle of applying mascara to her lashes with one hoof and holding a mirror in another. On the ground are fanfics about her friends (the majority being “Twixie” and “Flutterdash”) cosmetics, beauty magazines, and astrology books all sitting in a hidden basement “Now Ah can explain all this!” she says, trying to hide the evidence behind her “You’re a closet girly-mare and you don’t want anypony finding out about it. You also have a shipping fetish for stories that include your friends; all of which are non-clop, because you have standards. You also swipe some of Rarity’s make-up when she isn’t looking. You also have a more than platonic interest in Rarity, and her being a vampire; not only with your choice of literature as of late, only stirred those feelings further. You have Pinkie Pie supply you with yeast so you can make apple ciders and moonshines in the dilapidated shed in the north-west fields, and in exchange, you help her with the more grueling physical tasks. That about sum up your secret life?” I list off, the color draining from her body “Y-yeah… that’s all of it…” she stutters “But if you give me a bit of your cider stash, I’ll keep quiet” I say, sitting down next to her “Fair enough” she pulls out two mugs and a casket and fills them “So… Rarity… how you gonna approach that?”
