AT LAST!

Strap in, folks, this gone be a fun ride for y'all.

~Skeeter The Lurker

Her cider brings all the colts to the farm! :moustache:

Oh HELL TO THE YEAH! This is gonna be GOOD!:pinkiehappy:

...I thought Applejack ended up rejecting Trenderhoof at the end of the episode? Or am I not remembering it correctly?

Anyway I can tell this fic is going to be cringy...But the good kind of cringy, if that makes any sense. Plus, it's been a while since I've seen a good SoarinJack, but the way he kept going on about the pies was a bit annoying, like that was the only reason he was even attempting to ask her out. As much as I dislike Trenderhoof, at least he noticed AJ's beauty before her cullinary skills.

Another great story to add to the collection, eh Cap?

Keep on writing! :pinkiehappy:

Oh. this is gonna be rich! *grabs popcorn* Let the comedic soap opera begin!

Knowing Applejack she'll want to call a friendship meeting and wants all hooves and claws on deck.

Yeah, the little notes were a little cringy, but other than that the story is still going strong! Though I wonder if AJ will find time to go to that Wonderbolt show? And who she'd take? There were nine tickets, after all. Mac, Bloom and her friends (Spike included)? IDK.

she does remember she's gonna have to choose right?

The bear and the record are the best parts :pinkiehappy::heart:

Yeah, I'm not buying that Applejack would put up with any of this. This story isn't for me.

I never thought AJ would go for this kind of stuff. But I was wrong.
I still think Soarin would be a better match for Rainbow though.
Speaking of which, can you have the rest of the Mane 6 find out about her coltfriends? I would die if Rainbow had a crush on an oblivious Soarin. :rainbowlaugh:

First comment!
Also, Thank you for bringing in her friends. Now all we need is for Rarity and Rainbow to start pining for them.
What did Discord do to Big Mac? And can he help AJ in some way?
This is a cool fic. I can't wait for more!

Honestly AJ, if you just work out which one you like more or, you know, just tell them BOTH you're not interested, then they'll probably stop.

Also, why did Soarin feel the need to get AJ an airship? What would she possibly use an airship for? These gifts are getting a little ridiculous.

I was sort of wondering how their bank accounts would run dry but, with all they've bought, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. They'll be living on the streets by the time this is over! :rainbowlaugh:

A fun little chapter, I was kinda surprised you didn't try to sneak in a little MacDash but it wouldn't have fit in right now so I was kinda glad you didn't. Still, maybe in a future chapter I guess.

Keep on writing! :pinkiehappy:

Now I'm curious as to what Discord said or did to Bulk Biceps and Braeburn lol

Only one way to get them off your hooves:
Operation Fake Boyfriend.

Great story, it's original and the plot is great.

I would propose you make an audio drama when it's done.
I know that a few of my friends and even me would be in for the cast, we all love this story. :raritywink:

6477213 Don't get my hopes too high, just wait till the end when all is said and done. Besides, I don't have the cash to hire anyone

6477374 Who wants to pay who...?? Just take a look at Bride Of Discord, that was free and people were volunteering ;)

6477393 Well if the end product is something you like, I would love to see it

Having had a hand in the writing of this, can I ask exactly what you object to? She seems irritated, but secretly liking the attention, which feels in character to me. How do you think she would react?

6478019
Well, there are a few major things. The first is that when a girl like AJ is approached by two guys, I don't believe she'd suggest a competition for her affections. She might study the guys to decide which one she likes best, but she's down to earth. She doesn't want to see how guys act when they're trying to woo her, she wants to get to know them.

Especially because we know from canon (Simple Ways) that AJ does not secretly like this kind of attention. That's not who she is, the show made that clear when she was hiding in the chicken coop and not wanting to date or dance with Trenderhoof after how he acted. It's an ugly idea that girls secretly want stuff despite acting, in public and private, like they don't. Honestly, I find it kind of gross for guys to insist on it when we've seen it so explicitly from a character.

And finally, we also know from Simple Ways that she has zero interest in Trenderhoof as he acted there. Unless he came back a changed stallion, which he didn't here, there would be no reason for AJ not to turn him down and try dating Soarin.

6478104 I respect all of that and I understand what you find wrong with my story. Though I do want to point out she never said for them to compete, they did that on their own. She didn't want to date either one when they started to argue in front of her like she was some kind of prize.

I am trying to stay in cannon as possible, but really I wanted to do a story with these two rich guys fighting over Applejack with ridiculous amount of money. It was just a funny concept and I thought it would be fun to see Applejack as the mare who has all this attention, when she is not the kind to go out and seek it.

I hope you will read this story till the end just to see how it ends up. I respect your opinion and hope you have a great day.

Though I do want to point out she never said for them to compete, they did that on their own. She didn't want to date either one when they started to argue in front of her like she was some kind of prize.

You are totally right. I see I misread this part:

“Now Ah don’t know what yer tryin’ ta prove but Ah ain’t havin’ any of it,” Applejack pounded her hoof into the ground. “Now it’s clear that the two of ya’ll have been fixin’ ta court me, but Ah’m not the type a mare ta go on multiple dates with different stallions, so you two better pack it in.” Tiling her hat forward, the orange mare turned and walked away, leaving both stallions staring on.

That makes more sense, though I'm still not sure the reason she gives ("Ah’m not the type a mare ta go on multiple dates with different stallions") is really the reason she'd be turning either of them down (I would have gone with "y'all are actin' like foals.") But that's a nitpick compared to my original mistaken impression.

And I'm not sure I'll follow along, though I might check back in when its done. I do think it's a good concept, though I disagree about how AJ would react, and particularly to Trenderhoof. So it's possible with some future recommendations from other people who've read it, I might give it another shot.

6478157 To be fair I am stretching things a lot, but I just needed another rich stallion for this.

So Rainbow became interested in Applejack's statues? ...Oh my...

Need a male voice? I've always wanted to try my hand at a bit of VA work. :pinkiehappy:

6494070 Let's keep contact, I'd like the full approval of the creator of the story, and to wait until it's done!
But your voice surely would be appreciated! :pinkiehappy:

If Jake the Army Guy wants to do it, I can't stop you now. He secretly owns all of my stories...

But I give you all my full permission for real. I just hope you like the ending of the story enough to want to do the audio for it. Though... Jake might have to be Trender just for the laughs...

Well... I usually ship Rainbow Dash with soaring... but this seems interesting.
( And of course people fight over Applejack. She is too perfect to be real :derpytongue2: )

6498441 Well I am glad you are enjoying it so far! And I hope to show you the true light of the one and only OTP! MacDash! Lol. I am just kidding, I hope you enjoy!

Spike should be the referee.

Ok, I can see a clear winner emerging here.
We have one who will actually try to get to know the mare in question, and one who will end up putting three fillies in even more danger than they normally get into. (still trying to figure out how they manage to solve infinite danger + even more lol)

Will it be AJ killing him by bucking his head halfway to Roan? Will it be RD by dropping him to the ground from up in the upper stratosphere? Will it be Rarity impaling him with a billion sewing needles, then feeding his carcass to Opal?

Find out in our next installment of All's Fair in Love and War! :rainbowlaugh:

Rainbow and Big Mac? I guess... CheerMac or FlutterMac go better, but I guess it works.
Stranger Danger. Right on Sweetie Belle! :rainbowlaugh:

6498829 I actuallu prefer MacDash over Flutter or CherriMac

6498916 This really is the first time I've actually heard of this fic. :rainbowderp:

6498942 What 6498945 said... the fics are well worth reading.

And then the CMC decided to jump off a bridge. (Not in THAT way of course)
