	It was February 14th. A Monday. To Applejack, it was another day on the farm, while to others, like her special somepony Rarity, saw it as the Hearts and Hooves day. Applejack wasn't against the holiday, it's just that she had a job on the farm to do, and nothing else. She did plan to take Rarity out for dinner tonight at the local restaurant, but nothing else was planned. She bucked an apple tree as said unicorn came up to her.
"Happy Hearts and Hooves day, dear," Rarity said as she planted a kiss on her lover's cheek.
Applejack blushed. "As to you. I'm sorry Rarity that I couldn't plan something until evening, it's just I have to buck all of these dead apples of the tree for new ones and-"
"Don't worry. I actually had something planned for you. I know you're a little busy, but I want you to relax for a day. Go to the spa and get a massage, it's on me!" the unicorn said.
"Aw, shucks, Rares. You didn't have to do that for me. I know that if I decline you'll convince me anyways so yes, thank you." Applejack knew Rarity better than the unicorn's parents. Rarity nodded and sent her off without her. Applejack entered the spa and looked at the menu. Aloe looked at the farm pony, covered in dirt.
"Rarity sent you?" Applejack nodded in response.
Lotus appeared. "Figures, you would never come here otherwise." Aloe glared at her sister and motioned Applejack to go to the back to get her treatment. It was a deep massage that loosened her sore muscles from the bucking. The dirt on her was washed off with warm, soapy water as her mane was scrubbed. She didn't even get the time to worry about the fields in this state of relaxation. The last time she was at the spa was back when her friends and she want there for a friendly outing. Otherwise, she nor Rainbow Dash make any appearance near the spa whatsoever. Aloe and Lotus enjoyed the rare customers, with deeper knots in their backs or more sore wings, with maybe more tips? They smiled as they continued the treatment. 
After the treatment was done, they led out their customer to the front counter where they went over the prices. Applejack left some bits on the table for tips and went to the cafe to meet Rarity. Said unicorn was elegantly dressed with red draping her soft, white coat. Her hair was extra curly and more mascara was applied.
"Wow," Applejack said, "you look beautiful. You know you don't have to dress up for me. I like you better on the inside." Rarity blushed. "But I won't argue to this either!" The two mares laughed and seated themselves at an outside table. They said their orders whist sipping on their high quality drinks and talked about their days. The dinner soon arrived and went away, and the two walked back to Sweet Apple Acres.
"You know I do love you, Applejack," Rarity said.
"Of course I do! And I love you back!" Applejack said. "Shucks, now I have to go back to work." Rarity shook her head and motioned her hoof to the field. The trees were all apple and leaf free, showing the snow beneath it.
"How did you do this?" Applejack asked with awe.
"Well, I have a few connections," Rarity said, "and a magical horn."
"Oh right!" Applejack laughed as she kissed her marefriend in the sunset
