Big Mac and Twilight came out of the bowling alley, and into Ponyville. The afternoon sun beamed on them, blinding them for a short moment, and were about to go about Ponyville and find out what to do next. As they walked, Twilight started suggesting other things that came to her mind. She mentioned getting something sweet to eat at Sugercube Corner, take a visit to Rarity's Boutique. Big Mac wasn't liking any of these ideas. He didn't really like sweets. They give his stomach an unease grumble. Also, he wasn't into the whole fashion dealio. He just had his hitch and that was good enough for him.
"Oh come one Big Macintosh, you have to at least try some of the sweets at Sugercube Corner. They're out of this world!" Twilight said with some a begging tone in her voice.
"Ah'm sorry Twilight, but like ah said, I don't really like sweets." He replied.
"Pleeeeaaase?" She said while looking at Big Mac with a very irresistibly cute face.
Big Mac tried to resist and look away, but it was just the cuteness got the better of him.
"Oh alright." Big Mac finally said.
"Great! Also do you wanna go see Rarity at her boutique?" She asked.
"Ugh, now you're trying to make me go to a fashion designer?"
"Well I don't mean to offend you, but you could use a touch up on your style."
Big Mac was concerned, "What's wrong with mah style?"
"I don't have a passion for fashion, so I'll suggest we see Rarity for that."
"Fine. Also, it will probably get us away from Applejack." Big Mac pointed at her who was pretending to read a newspaper. Applejack looked up, then saw both of them looking at her. She quickly buried her face back into the newspaper. They both chuckled and were on their way.

First, they went off to Sugercube Corner, Big Mac didn't want to go to that boutique yet. As they approached, they could smell a sweet scent in the air. The smell of cookies, cake, and other kinds of treats. Big Mac was a bit disgusted but Twilight seemed to take amusement in it. They opened the door and a sound of a bell was made when they opened the door. Immediately, they saw Pinkie Pie appear from the kitchen.
"Hey there Twilight and Big Mac. It's super duper to see you." She said with her normal cheerful voice.
"Hello Pinkie. Big Mac wanted to try out some of the treats here." Twilight explained.
"Well we have THE best treats in Ponyville!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she quickly went back into the kitchen, then came out with all sorts of treats.
"We got: cookies and milk, cupcakes, muffins, cinnamon rolls, cake, lollipops, ice cream, apple pie that I got from AJ and all sorts of candy!"
"Boy, all of this looks delicious. What do you want Big Mac?" Twilight asked.
Big Mac kept looking at the tray of treats. He wasn't sure what to have. They all didn't look very good either. But, Twilight really wanted him to at least try something. So, he picked up a cupcake. Twilight and Pinkie both looked at him with a bright smile and eye look. He looked at it with disgust, then slowly brought the cupcake to his lips. He opened his mouth, and gave it a small bite. He chewed it slowly, while Twilight and Pinkie were waiting for an answer.
"So?" Pinkie and Twilight asked together.
They both saw the cupcake chunk go down his throat, and saw a satisfied face on Big Mac.
"Wow! This has got to be one of the best cupcakes ah ever had!" Big Mac exclaimed.
Twilight laughed, "I told you they had the best kind of sweets."
"Ah can see why." Big Mac said as he finished the rest of the cupcake in one bite.
"Oh that's just one cupcake. You can try the rest of these treats!" Pinkie Pie pointed to the trey.
"Don't mind if ah do." Big Mac said with a small grin.
Then he quickly grabbed all the treats his hoofs can grab. He stuffed some of the cookies in his mouth, then chugged the glass of milk. Then, he ate the muffin as quickly as possible. Next, he stuffed the slice of cake in his mouth, leaving some frosting on his face. Twilight and Pinkie started to get worried.
"Uh Big Mac," Pinkie began. "you may wanna slow down on those treats. You know what happens when you eat too many sweats."
"Don't worry, I'll slow down." Big Mac replied as if he didn't even hear Pinkie Pie. He then dove face into the apple pie, gobbling it up in a flash. Then all of a sudden, he just looked up as if he was looking into space. After a short moment, he fell onto the floor groaning in pain while holding his hoofs on his stomach.
"Told ya!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Well, thank you for letting us try some of these treats Pinkie." Twilight said while using her magic taking a cookie and a cupcake.
"No problem Twilight, come back anytime."
"Come one Big Mac, let's go." Twilight said to a groaning Big Mac.
"Uuuuugh, uh, give me a moment."

After Big Mac got through the whole stomach problem, they slowly trotted to Rarity's Boutique. It took them awhile to get their, because Big Mac was walking slower than his usual rate. However, on the way, they happen to run into Applejack who was trying to be incognito. Applejack was in shock that out of all the ponies that were on the streets, they ran into her.
"Oh, hello Applejack." Twilight greeted her.
"Oh, uh, hey there Twilight. Um, hey Big Macintosh." Applejack said while giving a fake smile.
"Hey AJ." Big Mac replied to her greeting in another serious tone.
"So, what brings you into town?" Twilight asked.
"Oh I'm uh...I'm uh...buying apples." she said while pointing at another apple stand.
"But, you sell apples. And, you have an apple farm." Twilight pointed out.
"Um, uh, more the merrier, right?" she said with a nervous grin. "Well it's been nice talking to y'all, but I really should get back to the farm, I gotta uh...buck some more apples. See ya!" then she galloped off back to the farm.
Big Mac and Twilight stood there laughing.
"That was the most made up story I ever heard!" Twilight said trying to breath and speak at the same time.
"Well, she isn't the type that lies." .
"I can see why. Well, let's go to Rarity's Boutique already.
Big Mac stopped laughing. "Oh yeah." he grumbled.
"Oh come on. She really isn't that bad, she is very generous."
"If you say so."
"I do say so."

Twilight and Big Mac were directly out in front of Rarity's Boutique. They could hear the sound of machinery and a very frustrating sounding pony. Then, they heard a very loud crash inside They quickly ran inside and saw that Rarity was on the floor with some of her material on top of her.
"My goodness Rarity, are you alright?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I can't use my magic to get all of this stuff of me, so no, I am not alright. Would you mind helping me please?"
Twilight was using her magic to the material off of her. After she got all of the stuff was back on the shelves , while Big Mac was getting her back on her hooves.
"Thank you Big Macintosh, and thank you Twilight." Rarity said while brushing herself off. Then they heard her scream which made them both jump.
"What's wrong Rarity?" Twilight asked.
"Eeeh! Big Macintosh, I can't believe you!" Rarity exclaimed.
"What?" Big Mac asked Rarity.
"You got cake frosting on my hooves!" Rarity said while showing him her hooves, "They're simply ruined!"
Big Mac looked at his hooves and saw that their happen to be frosting on his hooves.
"It's just frosting Rarity." Twilight said.
"Well, you know that I don't like things being messy." Rarity looked back at Big Mac, "Speaking of which, Big Macintosh when was the last time you ever bathed yourself?"
Big Mac put his hoofs to his chin and thought for a moment. The answer was clear to Rarity when he was just being silent.
"Very well, let's get you cleaned up." she said while walking towards him.
Big Mac instantly started backing up, "I don't feel really comfortable with all this."
"Well you simply can't go out looking like this."
"I don't mean to misjudge you, but I like my style the way it is."
"Very well then." Rarity said in a defeated sigh. "Twilight hold him down."
"Wait what?!" Big Mac exclaimed.
"I'm sorry Big Macintosh, but I just can't stand letting something like this go uncorrected." Rarity said while using her magic to get the comb out from her drawer, and using it on Big Mac's mane. But that had little success. His hair was just too thick. So, Rarity put away her comb and brought out her own personal brush from her drawer and gave it to Twilight. It was difficult at first, but she managed to get his hair better than before. Next, she asked Twilight to take of his hitch. As she did so, Rarity started working on something for Big Mac to wear. She started up her sewing machine and started sewing simple shirt surprisingly fast. As Rarity was finishing up her final touches on the shirt, Twilight was still combing his hair. After a while, Rarity came back with a shirt fit for Big Mac's size. She put it on for him, then Rarity and Twilight stood back to admire him.
"There, that should do it!" Rarity finally said after a long moment of looking at Big Mac.
"It just seemed like you just brushed mah hair and put a shirt on me." Big Mac said while struggling with his neck collar.
"Well, I don't mean to be rude, but it does look better than just wearing that filthy hitch you wear all the time. Oh, do you mind?" Rarity said while holding a wet cloth near his hitch.
"Nope."
She then proceeded to clean every inch of his hitch to make sure it was perfected. After watching her for a moment, she finally stopped. She showed both of them the aftermath of the cloth.
"Oh my, just look how filthy it was.
"I just wanted to say thank you Rarity for doing this for Big Macintosh." Twilight said.
"Not a problem Twilight. Generosity is my middle name." Rarity said while holding a hoof up to her chest.
"It is?"
"No not really, I hear people say things like that."
Twilight giggled, "Well thanks again and goodbye." she said while her and Big Mac walked out.
"Goodbye Twilight, goodbye Big Macintosh. You two would make a very good couple!" she shouted out to them as she went back inside.
Big Mac and Twilight instantly stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
"Um...did she just say...?" Twilight asked while pointing a hoof back at Rarity's shop and blushing.
"Eyup." Big Mac replied blushing as well.
"Oh."
They both stood there in silence for quiet a while just looking into each others eyes.
"Pretend like we never heard that?" Twilight asked.
"Eyup."
"Okay, well Big Mac, this was a very fun day. I had a very good time with you. And sorry it was a little weird for you."
"Don't worry about it Twilight. It wasn't your fault." Big Mac insisted.
"Thank you. Maybe we can do this tomorrow."
"I would love that."
"Alright then, see ya tomorrow Big Mac!" Twilight said while trotting back to her home as well as Big Mac.
As Big Mac was walking back to his farm, he re-messed up his mane again, and put his hitch around his neck over his shirt.
