The bright sun was already out and in the perfect spot to hit Forest Star right on his face as he slept. Soon he starts to slowly open his eyes after he turns his head so his face is away from the sunlight. He brings his hand up and rubs his eyes getting all of his eye boogers off of his eyes.
"Darn sun having to wake me up from the best sleep I've gotten since Friday." he stretched his body trying to limber himself before walking downstairs to the kitchen for his "breakfast".
"Hmm what is there to eat?" He looked in his fridge and all of his cabinets for something to eat and found nothing...nothing that sounded or looked good. He turned his head and caught a glimpse of the clock that read one thirty five in the afternoon and his eyes grew huge.
"CRAP! I was supposed to be at Applejack's house to hang out on her only day off two hours ago! Maybe if I hurry over there she will still want to hang out." He hops into the shower and gets clean before rushing over to Applejack's house. Once at Applejack's house, Forest Star walks up to the front door and knocks three times hoping his friend will answer.
"Howdy there Forest." Applejack greeted him with a smile on her face.
" Hey there AJ, are you still able to hang out?" He was hoping that it was a yes that he would hear.
"Ah can only hang out for a couple of hours sugarcube, then i have'ta prepare for bed cause ah got a lot of work ta do on tha farm."
Forest Star stood there smiling awkwardly while Applejack is standing there getting creeped out.
Why is AJ wanting to go to bed so early? What time does she get up to do work on the farm and how much does she do?
"Uh sugarcube, you alright?"
"Huh? oh yeah heh heh I'm fine AJ."
He stood there awkwardly laughing and smiling after Applejack brought him out of his thoughts.
"Where would you like to hang out at AJ?"
"Ah'm up for anywhere sugarcube."
"Okay lets go to the park and sit under that one tree with the nice sunset view."
Forest Star is blushing a little as he asked Applejack to the most romantic spot in Ponyville that he knew of.
"Sure lets go."
Forest Star moved out of the way and started to walk off of the porch and waited for Applejack to let her granny know that she was leaving.
"Hey Granny ah'm leaving to hang out with a friend."
She soon started to walk off of the porch and soon they were walking to the tree in the park.
"So how have you been AJ?"
"Ah've been alright sugarcube, but lately Ah've been sad and Ah don't know why."
"Would you like to talk about it?"
"Um Ah don't know sugarcube. It's about a friend of mine."
"Applejack I am your friend and I'll try and help in any way i can."
"Okay sugarcube. It's about Rainbow Dash."
"What about Rainbow Dash?"
"Ah... Ah l-love her..."
Forest Star feels hurt because he had feelings for Applejack and he was going to make his move today and now he finds out that Applejack is a lesbian.
"Oh um..."
Applejack is now crying because she was raised in a homophobic family so she has had this internal battle going on inside of her for years. Forest Star runs over and tries to comfort her as any good friend would do.
"Applejack it will be alright I promise. Just talk to me and I'll keep this strictly between us."
"Thank you sugarcube."
"Now talk to me AJ. When did this all happen?"
Forest Star and Applejack continue walking to the park to get to their destination.
"It all started when Ah saw her flying around and Ah saw how majestic her wings were as the sun hit them. Ah saw how her cyan blue coat shined in the sunlight and Ah saw how athletic her body was then Ah just fell for her."
"Hmm so kind of like love at first sight?"
"Exactly! Now Ah haven't told anypony yet so please keep this between us sugarcube."
"Of course AJ."
When the sun started to go down Forest Star and Applejack left the tree in the park and soon they were walking back to Applejack's house. They were both smiling and Applejack had felt relieved that she has gotten that off of her chest. Forest was smiling on the outside because he has helped his best friend with her problem, but on the inside he was disappointed because he hasn't payed attention to the signs that Applejack is a lesbian. Once they arrive at Applejack's house, they meet Granny Smith outside on the porch and walk up there.
"Thanks again sugarcube. Ah really do appreciate you hanging out with me."
"Hey no problem AJ. I'm glad you had a good time. I'll see you later."
"Bye sugarcube."
Forest Star starts to walk off of the porch and walk back to his house a smile on his face that Applejack is happy and that she trusts him with this newly found information. Forest Star looks at his watch to catch the time and gasps.
"Darn! I'm supposed to be in Canterlot to study the constellations with Princess Luna in forty five minutes!"
Forest Star gets ready and flies off to Canterlot to meet Princess Luna.
