Why did she love AppleJack? A question that could be answered with another question,
“Why wouldn't I love you?” AppleJack blinked at Rarity's response. “You're such an amazing pony. You're strong, loyal, dependable, honest, you're everything I could have wished for in any prince and more. I know I always criticize you for being filthy, but I've learned its all alright. You helped me win my sister back and you're an amazing sister yourself. You taught me its okay to be a little dirty every now and then, and you're just absolutely stunning,” Rarity said. She waited a while in silence before repeating her own question. “Why wouldn't I love you?”
AppleJack was absolutely speechless. She never expected anypony to say anything like that to her. She was always so focused on the farm and apples, that she never really thought about relationships. It was clear that Rarity truly did love her. Question was, did AppleJack love Rarity back? It was a tough question to answer. She hadn't ever thought of Rarity as a potential mare friend. However, she did know many stallions would kill to have Rarity's heart in their hooves. Rarity might not have know it, but she was a good sister. She was beautiful, generous, and the other side to AppleJack's magnet. A chance, that's what AppleJack would give.
“Ah guess its true when they say opposites attract. Ah've never actually thought of you as somepony to be in a relationship with, but it could work.” AppleJack began. “When Ah first met ya, I only thought y'all were some stuck up pricy pony.” Rarity grimaced at AppleJack's words. “But then, after Twi's sleepover, Ah knew that wasn't all you were. Yer a really great pony and Ah reckon any stallion in the right mind would kill ta have ya fer their own. After spendin' more time with ya, Ah have ta admit, Ah have grown onto ya more and more,” AppleJack spoke. Both ponies knew every last word was the truth and only the truth. The element of honest only spoke the truth, especially when from the heart. “Ah'm willing ta give this a chance.” AppleJack finished.
Rarity's heart soared and AppleJack's statement. She'd dreamed of so many scenarios, bad ones. There were nightmares when AppleJack would flat out reject her. She knew that AppleJack liked Rainbow Dash for a while, she had dreams when they went out and her heart stopped. However, this time was different. It was reality and Rarity was offered a chance. Things could finally start going her way. Last question,
“So, uh, where should we go from here?” Rarity asked a bit curious. Even though she love to read romance novels frequently, she knew most of them were only true in fairy tale land. She'd tried many times to find a perfect stallion, but never actually accomplished a true relationship. She even tried to lower her standards, that's when she noticed AppleJack. After going on so many adventures with AppleJack, she noticed that AppleJack far exceeded her previous standards.
“Well, Ah'm off work next Friday. Ya wanna go out for dinner?” Rarity gladly accepted.

Three months later, AppleJack was no longer giving Rarity a chance. This time, she knew what she felt was all too real. After a series of picnics, walks, and dates of all sorts, the two were impossible to tear apart. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were often spending time in Fluttershy's cottage planning a wedding with Pinkie Pie, who was a surprisingly good wedding planner. Even though Rarity and AppleJack decided to take their relationship slow, they were leaning towards the same fate as their pegasus friends.
Magnets, that's all the explaining they needed. When two of the same poles face each other, they push each other away. However, when opposite poles are together, the stick like glue. Rarity was one pole, AppleJack was the other. Fluttershy was one pole, Rainbow Dash was another. The couples balanced each other out for the better. Rarity wasn't so much of a perfectionist anymore and AppleJack learned to be cleaner when doing things. Fluttershy could be more assertive when needed and Rainbow's bloated ego was swelling down. Even Twilight and Pinkie Pie started hanging out more and baking cupcakes together.
The day of Rainbow and Fluttershy's wedding came, and the couple couldn't be happier. The festivities were enjoyed by everypony and even the princesses decided to make a guest appearance. After the party died down a bit, Rarity and AppleJack excused themselves. They went to the little hammock where AppleJack first confessed to Rainbow Dash and lay there together for a while. It basically became their own little love nest.
After resting together for a good half hour, Rarity rolled over onto AppleJack. “AppleJack,” Rarity started. AppleJack responded with a lazy “hm”. “Why do you love me?” Rarity asked already knowing how AppleJack would respond. AppleJack couldn't help but allow a smile grin slid on her muzzle. She opened her eyes and nuzzled Rarity before answering.
“Why wouldn't Ah love ya?” AppleJack responded with a small chuckle.
They always repeated this same thing all the time. Sometimes AppleJack would ask first, other times Rarity would ask first. Every time, though, the response was the same. “Because I'm me,” Rarity said back unexpectedly. AppleJack only laughed, Rarity could be so serious at times.
“Its because yer you that Ah love ya,” AppleJack explained. Rarity said nothing back. That was enough for her. She was all coupled up with the mare of her dreams and things were all going her way.
“Why do opposites attract,” Rarity asked, once again knowing the answer.
“'Cause sometimes it gets boring being with yerself,” AppleJack responded. She was always ready for all the questions Rarity threw at her. Rarity would even ask some of the same questions more than once just because she loved hearing AppleJack's response. This time, rather than barraging AppleJack with more questions, Rarity just said “okay”. Any other question she had was answered by the most well known phrase by the couple.
Opposites attract.
A/N; Done ahead of schedule. Sadly for me being ahead of schedule causes me to do a crappy job. I'm just glad I finally finished and now I'm free from the burden of not finishing. Thanks for the comments, faves and all that. Feels good for a first time fanfic
