//------------------------------// // An Awkward Epilogue // Story: Big News // by Frizzy //------------------------------// The following weeks passed without incident. Twilight received a letter from her father congratulating her on her new relationship, and saying that he would love to get to know Applejack a bit better. Applejack received a letter from Shining Armor stating that he would kick her ass if she hurt his baby sister in any way. This morning found Twilight and Applejack in the kitchen at Sweet Apple Acres, helping Granny Smith make breakfast, as the elder Apple finished telling Twilight some stories about the family. "And that is why Applejack was born in a wheelbarrow by the side of the road." "Granny," Applejack sighed, placing a plate of bacon on the table. "That was a story that Ah could have gone my whole life without hearin', again, and one Ah wish my girlfriend didn't know." "Well, I thought it was cute," Twilight said, giving her girlfriend a peck on the cheek. "Besides, my parents and Princess Celestia probably have plenty of embarrassing stories about me they'll be willing to share during lunch, today." "And Ah'll be sure to ask them for all the details," Applejack replied, smirking. "Well, breakfast is ready. Let's go wake Apple Bloom and Big Mac." The two women walked upstairs and knocked on the door to the blonde's younger sister's room, receiving a muffled response before the young redhead walked out, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. They moved on to Big Mac's room, and knocked. Two different voices could be heard on the other side. "Who the hell does he have in there?" Applejack asked opening the door. What greeted them on the otherside was Mac halfway through pulling up his pants, and Fleetfoot from the Wonderbolts in the process of climbing out the window, wearing only her track jacket and a pair of "Your Average-Sized Horse" underwear. "You, uh, forgot to lock the door, huh?" Fleetfoot asked. "Eeyup," Big Macintosh responded. Everyone was blushing. "Uh," Applejack tried to speak. "B-breakfast is ready, if y'all are hungry," she said, trying to avoid eye contact with her brother or the woman climbing back inside the room. "We'll, uh, give you two a minute," Twilight said, closing the door. "W-we should go tell Granny Smith to set another place." "Yeah," Applejack responded, as the two made their way back downstairs.
