Chapter 6: Another Happy Ending

The morning lights shone bright into their room, where Rarity was still asleep. Applejack looked at her marefriend, smiling and thinking how beautiful she looked, even when she was sleeping.

Applejack was carrying a little brown box in her hooves. She went closer to Rarity and sat down on the bed. She held the box behind her back.

“Wake up, Rares," she said softly.

Rarity yawned and removed her sleeping mask.

“Good morning, darling," she said.

“Remember the surprise ah planned last night?" Applejack asked.

“How could I forget?" Rarity answered. "All that mystery is killing me!"

Applejack chuckled. "Close yer eyes!"

Rarity raised a eyebrow in concern, but closed her eyes anyway.

“No spying!" Applejack said.

She pulled out the box and held it in front of her.

“Ya can open ‘em now," Applejack said.

In the same instant, Rarity opened her eyes, excited to see the surprise. What she saw instead was a tiny brown box.

“Oh?"

Then, Applejack opened the box, revealing a pair of earrings Rarity gasped.

"S-Special somepony ornaments?"Rarity held a hoof to her mouth, hardly able to believe what she was seeing.

“Yup!" Applejack answered.

The earrings were a delightful view. The one on the left was shaped like three, bright red apples, with green leafs hanging from each of them. The one on the right was shaped like three blue diamonds.

“Remember when Pinkie and Fluttershy came ta tell us that they were datin' wearing their own special somepony ornaments?” Applejack asked. "Ah remember how much ya wanted to have one!"

“But of course!" Rarity answered. "They were beautiful! A exact replica of their cutie marks!“

“Well, now ya have it," Applejack said. "A exact replica of mah cutie mark!”

Rarity began to laugh. "And you too."

She then grabbed the diamond shaped earring with her magic and put it on Applejack's left ear.

Applejack grabbed the apple shaped one and put it on Rarity's right ear.

She gave Applejack a kiss on the cheek. "So, how are we going to tell our friends?"

“Don't ya worry 'bout it,"  Applejack said, "this was the first part of the plan!”

“Oh, okay then, Twilight," Rarity mocked. "What's the second part?”

"The first part of the plan was ta send a letter ta all of our friends tellin' them the good news,” Applejack said proudly. "The second part was ta give you the special somepony ornaments.“

“Check!" Rarity said happily, pointing at her new accessory.

“But the third part is still unfinished," Applejack said.

“Oh?” Rarity asked. "And this third part is..."

Applejack's ears dropped. She didn't knew if Rarity would agree with her.

“Ah was wonderin' if ya would like ta travel all of Equestria with me?”

Rarity blinked a few times, staring at Applejack, before giving the answer.

“Oh my Celestia, why wouldn't I?" Rarity answered.

“Really?" Applejack said surprised.

“But of course, darling!" Rarity confessed. "I would love to go see other places!"

“Yeah, ah was thinkin' we could go see other places we want before the week ends," Applejack said.

“You know, I was thinking of a place that we can go” Rarity smiled at her marefriend.

“Let me guess," Applejack rolled her eyes "Manehatten?”

“No,” Rarity answered. "Fillydelphia."

“Oh,” Applejack said. "Ya sure?"

Rarity chuckled. "Pretty sure. I heard that there's a small village of dragons called Dragontown! Spike's going to love the gifts I'll buy for him!"

“Speakin' of the little fella," Applejack started. "How do ya think he's goin' to handle the situation?"

“He's not a baby dragon anymore, Applejack," Rarity answered "It's just a silly little foalhood crush. He,ll understand. I think…”

“Well, what are ya waitin' fer?" Applejack asked. "Get yer things and let's get goin'!"

Wait! I need to get ready!" Rarity said.

And with that, the loving mares packed their things and headed to the train station to go at a adventure through Equestria.
