I finally got a hold of Applejack today. The last few days were kind of like a walk through Tartarus, so maybe I shouldn't complain. Also, they did't notice I was gone whole other night and I don't planning on telling them.

First there were the reporters, who somehow got wind of the engagement. I don't know how Shining and Cadance had done it, but they were all over the castle the whole time. Some even flew up to take some pictures through the windows. Well, they tried. Mum gave me the OK to use my flames on them if they don't stay off the property. Lucky for us, they didn't know that would probably just send them to princess Celestia. Actually, wouldn't that be worse?

The second thing is, that it's spring. The busiest time for a farmer next to late fall. Applejack and Big Mac had so much to do, they slept in the barn the other day. So when Applejack came back this evening, I could finally ask her about Sweetie Belle.

Well, I didn't told her that I like Sweetie. I told her that I just kind of know this mare that I happen to like and that I wanted to ask her out on hearts and hooves day. She tried to sent me to the expert in romance, who helped her woo Twilight. Yeah Rarity wasn't really an option. And she got a bit angry as I answered her, why I tried to ask her instead of my mom. "Well, between you and Twilight, you're more dad material than her", was apparently the wrong answer. I should remember that. I kind off saved myself with an explanation that boys don't generally like to talk about love with their mothers. Which is the honest truth.

So she gave me the same hint Rarity had given her. "Its Twilight we're talking about. She is a very smart mare but can be pretty obvious to the simpler things in live. So mare up and just tell her in the face."

Yeah, I'm not gonna do that.

Twilight and Applejack know each other for years and were close friends. The first applied to me and Sweetie as well, but friends? No, I don't think so. She was just Raritys little sister all the time. Thinking about it. That will get a little weird, won't it? At least it fits nicely in my recent life then.
