A loud thud could be heard as a crate full of apples landed at the hooves of Applejack.
"There you go A.J.," her Pegasus friend said. "If you need any more help you can always rely on the element of loyalty to be there to lend a helping hoof! I don't know how you do all this work by yourself now that Big Mac and Apple Bloom have moved to another place to live."
Applejack sighed and said, "Thank ya so much sugar cube. I'm so grateful to have such a good friend like you. It's so stressful for me to do all this work on my own. Granny Smith is supposed to start those new workers here soon."
Rainbow Dash nodded in understanding and said, "Well, I guess I'll be going now. I'll see you tomorrow!"
Applejack looked around nervously as if she was afraid somepony else might be listening to them. "Say sugar cube," the farm pony said. "Ya ever feel lonely in life?"
"Huh?" Rainbow Dash said. "What do you mean A.J.? We always have each other and we're always with our other friends."
Applejack shook her head side to side. "No, no, no," she said. "I mean like relationship-wise lonely. Have ya ever wanted to just settle down in life and find a somepony special fer yerself?"
Rainbow blushed a bit. "Ohhhhhh! I know what you mean now! I already have my eye on the pie in the sky. I know I'll be asking Soarin' out in the future, and you know he has to say yes to me because how could anypony deny such an awesome pony like me? Do you have a somepony special on your mind A.J.?" Rainbow Dash asked as she playfully banged her hips against Applejacks side.
Applejack took off her hat and said, "Well, no. I don't have my sights on anypony yet, but I really want to find somepony to love and it's just really hard for me doing all this work by myself. I was wonderin' if you knew of any hard workin' stallions that might be out there."
Rainbow Dash put her hoof to her chin in thought and replied, "No, I really don't. Not at least a pony who is involved in the farm business like you." She suddenly wrapped her front leg around Applejack's neck. "Hey listen to me, I'll help find you a somepony special just as long as you keep it a secret that I'm a bit obsessive about Soarin'. Don't tell the other girls about it because I'm sure I'd get teased quite a bit for it. I only told you my true feelings because we seem to be the closest friends out of our little group. Deal?"
Applejack stuck out her hoof and shook Rainbow's hoof. "Yer on R.D.," the farmer said. "I appreciate you lookin' out for me like that. It means a lot to me. I love ya sugar cube." Applejack suddenly gave a playful punch on the jaw of her friend and continued. "Just don't set me up in a situation that can be a bit too romantic'. I think I might be a bit shy when it comes to romantic feelin's and situations."
Rainbow giggled and said, "Hey! Don't you worry about it. I might not be the romantic expert like Rarity is, but I think I know a thing or two on how to get a couple together. Just have some faith! I got to go now! I'll catch you later!"
Applejack smiled and said good bye as she waved her hoof at her friend. Suddenly, she turned around and let out a deep sigh. "I hope she can find him soon," she said. Applejack then began to drag the crate full of apples back into the barn. Her day was over for now and it was time to get some supper and then hit the hay.
Do i smell appledash?
Ill just have to read and find out, although those tags concern me...
2929735 I do not write Lesbian ships. Although I understand why people like AppleDash ships.
to the people who disliked this you only did cause you jelous XD I loved this story!!!
I understand what some of those dislikes are about. Being a good wife doesn't mean you can't move out if you're in danger.
Her death was so preventable--but that's what makes it a Tragic Tragedy.
She took her vows so seriously, and did what most people wouldn't to keep her honesty; frustratingly sad, but her personality and principle is what makes it a story worth telling.
And oh the forgiveness! Hating bad ponies is so much easier! It is only in Christ's forgiveness for us that we can forgive like this.
To everyone who doesn't like that line about wives being submissive to husbands, I'd like set things straight. At a time when wives were sometimes like property, the Bible said that a man is to love his wife unconditionally and sacrifice himself for her, like Christ did for the Church. When a husband first fulfills his role, it is easy and pleasant for his wive to live under his authority.
2930258 Thanks! I'm glad it was a good read for you!
2930519 You're right about that Bible verse. I think that verse about husbands loving their wives unconditionally is right under the verse about wives submitting to their husbands. They are supposed to go together. This story fits Applejack because she can not tell a lie unless corrupted by evil magic, and if you remember in the story, I made it very clear that she made a very special promise to her spouse that she would never leave his side no matter what happened between them. Divorce is never an option Biblically. I believe in taking vows seriously. How can you not take the vow "Until death do us part." seriously? Who in their right mind would marry a person who wouldn't be able to keep their vows in certain situations? Applejack loved her companion with all her heart. She did the right thing even though it was hard, and her reward was great.
2974374 I know this was deep! Thanks for reading and faving <3
this is wow, just, wow i feel like ing
2997858 This will most likely be the saddest story I have ever written. I almost broke down in tears several times while writing parts of this story out. Thanks for taking time to read, and I hope you were able to enjoy this story even if it was very sad. If you need a boost of smiles and D'awws, I have written very happy and cheerful fics too. Try reading my story Rainbow Dash's First Crush to get the sadness out.
2997966 I loved the story it was very well written but it was just sad
2998257 Thank you. That means a lot to me. I hope you may enjoy my other stories too.
2998316 No problem i plan on reading more
2998324 Glad to hear that! Thanks!
2998361 I'm starting to think you're a big soarin and rainbow fan.
2998375 I am! It's the only ship I truly care about in the show! Although, some stories I do invent my own stallions for the mares because there are hardly any males in the show. Soarin' and Dash is by far my favorite ship!
2998406 I like twilight and big mac personally
2998414 I Never considered that ship before. It's usually Flutter x Mac that I hear about, but Twilight x Mac could be a great ship too!
2998437 You haven't heard of that one hmm.
2998446 Can't say that I have, but I'm sure there are stories out there about that pairing. Big Mac is pretty easy to ship with any mare I think, except for Applejack. (For obvious reasons)
2998459 Why would you bring that up.
2998465 Because I'm sure there are people out there that have or would like to ship them together regardless of the situation. This fandom can be pretty weird sometimes!
2998482 true but ewww
Ah must say... the FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.....!!!
Hnnnnnggggggg!!! *drops dead*
if I haven't said it yet, I'll say it now, this is my favourite story by you so far, not only because it revolves around mah favourite pony but also you made me feel so much for her throughout the story. First happiness and jealousy (dat Sun Rise stole mah Applejack! ) than disbelief, than rage, than sadness, than even more sadness! than joy! 'sniff'
I felt in this story the characters had more room to breath and the pacing was good enough for the reader to care for what happens to those who are being portrayed in the events unfolding. There are a couple of mistakes regarding "special somepony" I spotted where you wrote "somepony special" instead, I believe it's somewhere right before the proposal part, you could change it if you want. ^_^ well, I'll make this one a little shorter than usual as its getting late on my end of the world... plus I'll need to shake off the pony poundin' part you put in my brain! keep up the good work and God bless! :D
2998491 the things you'll find on the internet... it aint pretty...
3000407 I'm pretty positive that in the show, I have heard them say "Somepony special" instead of special somepony. I think they say it both ways in the show. It actually works either way! I felt like I had to put the "Pony Poundin'" line in because it's a realistic situation and of course, that would probably go through the minds of many if a similar incident ever happened to someone else. Sorry if that was a bit bothersome to you. I tried to be creative with words and say what I wanted to say about that topic without using more descriptive and obvious words. I am so happy that you enjoyed this read! I have written other Applejack centered fics as well if you want some more A.J! Applejack and Rainbow Dash are by far my two most favorite ponies in the show, and you can probably easily see that by the way I write about them both. Thank you for taking time to read and comment, and thanks for show interest in my stories as well!
3000410 Oh I know! The internet can summon horrors from people in the fandom. I'm really more careful these days with what links I click on. Some of the things I have accidently seen in the past have turned me off from this fandom, but not all Bronies and Pegastisters are like that! It's just a shame because the people who make the kind of stuff that we wouldn't want to see tend to get the most attention and they give the rest of us bad names and other people who don't know much about the show assume that we are all like that!
Thanks again for the kind words. God bless!
I just reminded of my best friend's death.
It's feels so hurt that you want to stab yourself with a chainsaw.
I can't hold up these tears anymore.
Well done,well done.
3236775 Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss. I had lost a best friend too shortly after High School. It's heart breaking. Many things will always remind me of him. Fluttershy being one of them.
