Boy, did she know how to pick 'em ....
Apple Bloom has to deal with alot, as she not only has to come out to her family, but also has to win over the prettiest mare in Ponyville, someone who she has grown up with and loves and respects like family. But will her brother and sister support her pursuing the much older and much classier Rarity? What will Sweetie's reaction be? Is Rarity even interested in mares? How much would they need to change for each other for things to work?
A crack paring written out of boredom and involving a random pony pair. The pony ended up being Apple Bloom, aged up to adulthood of course, paired with none other than Rarity.
Chapters (4)
My biggest worry strange enough is not whether or not you can pull off the paring, I've seen far stranger ones, it the reactions the Apples will have. I worry if they will be turned into the stereotypical southern bigot.
Still a good start
Hm, interesting pairing indeed. I've seen it once as a short prompt, and it was quite interesting, so I'll be reading this. Fingers crossed there's going to be a happy end.

I hope so too.
A little disappointed Apple Bloom's grown up
That cuts the entertainment value in half. Then again, this does have a sad tag so perhaps Filly Bloom might have been unwise choice for this scenario.

Also gets around the squick and foalcon issues
4520929 Exactly.
I like where this is going
Glad to see most people seem to be giving this unusual paring a chance. Cheers guys

Things are more complicated than just bigotry. Sure, there will be a little bit of it (but maybe not from who you'd imagine) but this is also weird because of WHO this is. It's not any old Unicorn girl, it's Rarity, someone close to both AJ and Sweetie.

Interesting. As far as I could tell, no-one had done this one before. I may have to go digging and see if I can find it.

Filly Bloom will appear in a flashback later, but the majority of the story is told with the CMC aged around 19ish, and Rarity and the Mane 6 about 28-30ish

I'll try not to disappoint.
4525613 It was not a story here, but a short prompt on the Thirty Minutes Ponies blog. If you want, I can look for the link.

If it's no trouble, that would be cool, thanks.
4525696 Send you a PM.

Thanks! I'll give it a read
Nice second chapter. I like the little touch of Applebloom trying to to speak without accent to Rarity, and not succeeding entirely.
Let's see what Rarity thinks of 'bloom for now, and especially what the "accident" was. Since this was apparently something that happened to the two of them, it would make sense for there to be a certain bond already established. But yes, looking forward to more.

That is what I'm looking forward to seeing, I know that at the very least it will awkward given that AJ and Rares are friends... wait not from who you'd imagine? Ok that will be interesting.
I so dearly hope you meant 'hoof' here.
Very interesting story...
I love interesting stories.
Kissing soon?
Kissing soon?

Glad someone picked up on her change in speech.

(but seriously, thanks for the catch there)

Maybe...
4525988
Why thank you.
Ahh, an unlikely pairing.
*track*
What would be amazing if this ended up being a rarijack story and aj and rarity have been together all of this time xD
I like it.
More soon?
Any news on this?
Rarity said she before Rarity know Apple Bloom was a lesbian
She or he? Rarity still doesn't know AB's preference, as you say 2 paragraphs later:
Rarity knows the whole time, I bet.
Despite the minor flaws that others have pointed out, I am really enjoying this ship. Keep it up! Good Sir/Madam
A weird ship, but it seems really promising. Plus, no Sparity, so that's great.
Hm, there are some minor grammar mistakes, but nothing too major, and not enough to bother during reading. Now, let's see what the get-together will bring. Will Rares decide to help, or try to find out who it is first?
Man, I love this story. Can't wait for the next update in...I'm guessing 4 months!

Hehe, sorry. The chapter was finished a while ago, but wasn't very good, so I had to re-arrange some stuff.
4990372
Sorry, won't be quite as long this time .... hopefully.
4990961 ok, i think it's amazing and scary as the day you put this up i thought Blooming Fabulous hasn't been up in a wile
AJ may not like this.
I wonder Rarity already knows.
Will you be updating this thing more frequently?
5526069
... yeah, let's go with more frequently
well I'll certainly try and not take ... 4 months?
