//------------------------------// // The Coming Out // Story: The Train Family // by QueenOfTheSilence //------------------------------// She grinned in excitement as she gently moved down the stairs, trying her best to not make a sound. Despite feeling guilty that she was going to see him again after promising her brother she wouldn't, AppleJack knew that nothing could keep her away from her beloved. She was practically jumping with joy at the thought of seeing her lover again, so eager to press kisses to his face and for the night ahead. This was to be the night that they finally took their relationship to the next level. Intercourse. While she wasn't by any means a virgin, she was more than eager to give herself up to her lover, to feel him wrapped around her, to make love to the guy that had stolen her heart. Like a ninja, AppleJack moved down the last few feet of stairs and cautiously made her way into the kitchen. Through the window in the back door she could see that Luna's moon had reached it's peak. She took a look at the clock above the stove to check the time. 2:00 AM. The orange pony winced. She was nearly an hour late, but that wasn't surprising because she had to wait till she was absolutely sure that nopony would discover her sneaking out. Especially her brother. Quietly she tiptoed over to the back door of the farm house and quietly unlocked the door, wincing slightly as the old lock creaked as it turned. She nudge the door open with a hoof and allowed it to open up halfway before stepping out. Once outside, AppleJack briefly paused to breathe in the cool country air. She quickly pulled the door closed behind her. Normally she would lock the door, however since she had lost the key to the back door it probably wasn't a good idea to lock her only way back in. Unless of course she wanted to climb the tree next to Apple Bloom's window and sneak in that way. But then she would surely be caught. She walked slowly away from the farm, ducking behind trees and anything she could find while glancing back at the house to make sure nopony was coming after her. Once she was a decent amount of distance away, she broke into a gallop, heading towards the rendezvous point where she would meet her lover. Tonight was surely to be a great night, that AppleJack was certain. - By the time AppleJack made it to the train station, the rendezvous point, she was pretty much sweating. The station and her house were both situated opposite of each other, with the actual town of Ponyville situated in the middle. Needless to say, with being extra cautious in order to make sure she wasn't caught, it took her over an hour to get to station. By the time she arrived, her lover was already there. He glared silently at her, obviously annoyed with having to be held up. “Look, Sugarcube I know! But Big Mac was giving me a hella' hard time. Every time I thought that stallion was asleep I heard him moving about in his room!” said AppleJack. The thing she hated most was the fact that she possibly ruined their special night. She could tell from the way he had cleaned himself up, that he had been just as excited for this night as she had been. His gaze softened. AppleJack smiled at him and approached him. He tried to look annoyed, but AppleJack could tell that he wasn't that angry. She placed a kiss on his head and sighed contently as she felt his body press against hers. “So, should we get started?” asked the mare suggestively, running her hoof up and down her companions face. The twinkle in his eyes was all she needed. - AppleJack panted heavily as she laid on top of her coltfriend. She couldn't believe that she had sex in the train yard, of all places! Yet her beloved had his fetishes and had all but demanded that they do so. Despite her initial rejections, she eventually caved. It was a wild night, filled with so much ecstasy and love. But, like all things, it had to come to an end. Luna was lowering her moon and Celestia was beginning to raise the sun. As the sun began to peak over the horizon, AppleJack knew she had to leave while she still had a small window of time to return home without anypony knowing how she spent her night. Both her brother and her granny usually got up around this time, but they did occasionally sleep in. She just prayed to Celestia that this was one of those mornings. She kissed her lover and pulled away from him, climbing off his long, sexy body. Her beloved gave her a silent, understanding look. They both knew that they had went overtime with their frenzied lovemaking. Giving her what appeared to be a wink, both individuals returned to their normal lives. AppleJack all but ran home, running past farmers like herself who were setting up their market stalls and other early rising ponies. Most ponies thought nothing of it as the mare had a tendency to run from place to place instead of walking and most of them saw her up at this time of day. Still, some did find it odd that she wasn't setting up her stall like usual. Perhaps Big Mac was in charge of the stall today? That would explain why it wasn't up yet, the Apple family was usually the first to set up. Shrugging it off, the ponies went back to their business. - AppleJack burst through the back door of her farmhouse, near ready to collapse from exhaustion from running all the way home and from her recent “activities”. Instead of finding an empty kitchen, or a kitchen with her brother and granny sitting at the table, ready to tear her a new one, she found both them and her friends. They all sat around the table, looking at her with worried glances. Little Apple Bloom who was usually also still asleep at this time was also seated. “Uh, well. Well call me Sally....What are you gals all doin' here? And why is 'Bloom up? Isn't today a Saturday? Shouldn't you still be in bed?” AppleJack was by no means stupid. She had a good idea where this was going to go however she was hoping she was wrong as she stood awkwardly, locking eyes with her brother. “Your brother pretty much burst into our houses and asked that we come. He said that you needed help, though he didn't say what” answered Twilight, looking both worried and tired. AppleJack gritted her teeth and gave her brother a look. “I don't need help from nopony! I am just fine! 'Mac is just making up nonsense! Y'all can go home and back to bed.” her friends looked at her unconvinced and both confused as they had no idea what Big Macintosh thought AppleJack needed help with. “By Celestia's sagging tits! Tell them, damn it! About your warped relationship with that....bastard!” The group, minus Apple Bloom who was confused and AppleJack, all gasped. Out of all of them, they never expected the orange earth pony farmer to be having a secret relationship with somepony! “Are you in an abusive relationship, I know all about this! I read about it in Fifty Shades of Neigh!” said Princess Twilight Sparkle, concerned for her friend. Noticed, her friends all rolled their eyes. “Wait, does that mean somepony is hurtin' big sis'? I don't want anypony to hurt you!” Apple Bloom ran over to her sister and hugged her around the neck, standing on her back hooves. AppleJack sighed and hugged her sister back. “I ain't being abused by nopony! Mr. Overprotective here just doesn't approve of my relationship because it ain't up to his standards!” snarled AppleJack, pushing her sister away from her and moving toward the table where her family sat. “Standards? Standards? Your relationship ain't normal! It's far from normal, it's just plain damn disgusting is what it is!” replied Granny Smith, shaking her cane at her granddaughter. “You just don't understand! What we have is real Granny! He loves me, I love him! We're gonna elope! He's a good guy!” screamed AppleJack. Twilight stood up from where she was sitting and made her way over to her friend. “Look, AppleJack we are here for you. If you say that he's a good guy, then we believe you. But, I want to meet him, as do all of we. I want to see for my own eyes that he's a good stallion, that he's treating you right. Can we meet him?” asked the alicorn, pleadingly. AppleJack opened her mouth to object before quickly shutting it. They were going to find out eventually. Both her friends, Ponyville citizens and her sister. She had been putting off introducing her lover to her friends for months. The only reason her brother and granny knew was because they had followed her one night when she left to meet him. “Fine! But don't you go and run him off!” - The group of six ponies, five adults and one teen followed behind the orange farm pony as she swiftly made her way to where her lover was surely at. After all she knew that his job, despite how hectic it was, did not have work till the late afternoon. He was most likely at home, napping probably. By the time they reached their destination, many of the ponies behind her were confused. “Why are we at the train station?” asked Rainbow Dash. AppleJack bit her lip and sighed. Quietly she made her way over to where a train was sitting on the tracks next to the station. She lovingly placed a hoof on it's cold, hard metal body and turned towards her friends. “This here is Herbert, the train. He's my coltfriend”
