Rainbow Dash couldn't believe that he was sitting down with her in a cafe. Soarin the Wonderbolt! It took all her will power not to faint or squeal. Granted, it created silence that neither wanted to break.
"So you're staying with the Apples?" Soarin asked, trying to make a conversation.
"Yeah! AJ and I are great friends." Rainbow Dash took a sip of her lemonade.
"So does that mean you and Big Mac are together?" Rainbow Dash almost choked on her lemonade.
"WHAT?!? No, no,no, NO. I mean he's cool and all but .. uh we're just acquaintances!" She blushed as she said this.
" Ah, I see. " Another awkward silence appeared.
"So you know Big Mac and AJ?"
"Yeah! Our grandparents went to school together. My parents were also friends with his before they... Ya know..."+Soarin cleared his throat. No one talked about Big Mac's parents.
"Yeah.... I get what you mean..." An unwanted silence dragged time away from them. Something caught Rainbow' s eyes.
"Hey! Wanna go play Air Sports?"
"Are you serious?!? YOU BETCHA!"
The pair raced off after paying a passing waiter. A figure hiding behind a menu frowned. Things weren't going to plan.
Applejack chuckled as Braeburn and her worked on harvesting. "What's funny AJ?" He asked.
"Jus' Mac and Rainbow. "
"Ahh... Has he asked Miss Dash yet?"
"Eenope. I've been tryin' to hint ta 'im. It's so obvious, I might as well eat mah hat." The pair laughed.
"Seriously though Brae, I've got a feelin' Granny is up ta somethin'." Braeburn nodded.
"Ah see whatcha mean. Granny Smith has been actin' kinda suspicious... Tell ya what! Why don't we try ter figure out what she's up to in our spare time?" The stallion grinned, ecstatic. Applejack frowned.
"I don't know.... It'll feel like lyin' ter her, RD, Mac and the rest..."
"But if we keep it a secret and it's just us, we won't be lying! Besides, if Granny asks us we'll tell 'er the truth."
"Pinkie promise?" Applejack asked.
"Cross my heart and hope ta fly, stick a cupcake in mah eye. Pinkie promise."
In Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie looked up from her work. "Someone just made a PINKIE PROMISE! THEY'D BETTER KEEP IT!" She then hummed loudly to herself, acting like nothing had happened.
Applejack sighed. "Okay."
Applejack and Braeburn walked away,moving on to the next crop.
Scootaloo and Applebloom giggled gleefully as they snuck out of hiding. "Did ya hear tha' Scoot? AJ and my cuz are spyin' !"
"I know! That sounds cool! What do you think of Big Mac and Rainbow Dash being together?"
"I think tha' it'd be okay." The yellow filly smirked. "I betcha they come together with Granny' s help."
"Oh yeah? I bet Rainbow Dash and Big Mac will get together WITHOUT Granny Smith's help."
"Alrigh'. You gotcha self a deal!" The two shook hooves, eyes gleaming.
Little did they know, what that bet did to their roles in this story....
