When Barbara braves up to tell Elusive how she feels about him, he discovers he feels the same way. But can the mane six's friendships survive through a newfound relationship? And what happens when a certain farmer can't contain his jealousy? An r63 Sparity story.

This is one of my first multi chapter stories so please go easy on me, but constructive criticism is welcomed :)

Chapters (12)
Comments ( 14 )

No comments? On a complete story? Wha... Oh. Wait. It was posted today, and this is the first comment... Shit! You're ruining it Dark say something useful! Um um Looks interesting! Imma read it. Right now.:facehoof:

Lovely start. Just go easy on the exclams, on is enough my man.

On his way back to the farm, AJ started to develop a strange unexplainable emotion welling up inside of him.

"Began feeling" would better in place of started to develop, in this particular sentence.

Ahgoing for the old saved my life crush aye? You sly dog you.

Pacing is a bit fast, but not bad. Excited to read more.

Hmm confusing. Earlier in the story it had said that Barbara had come home to "Eat their usual supper and tell Dusk the good news" I had assumed that meant she was telling him that Elusive had asked her to the dance but I guess not... Good chapter anyways, even though I think AJ's moving a little too fast I think it makes him more in character.

Wouldn't everbody already know that Barb liked elusive? Or have the events of the show not happened?

Mm Barbara, always with a flare for the dramatic.

If Aj was giving her the silent treatment how would she know if she had been locking herself in her room for weeks? But agin even though I think Applejack would rush into asking someone he liked over with I don't think he would be so obsessively sure already.

What do you say we get out of this stinking castle for a day and go to sugar cube corner?

I think stuffy would make more sense, stinking sounds more like an actual insult.

Awe, so adorable:rainbowkiss:.

Flaring war? That sound bad ass... Can I have that? I really want to make acharacter called flaring war now :rainbowlaugh:

But... Dusk knows why Applejack's been distant, unless he assume Aj got over it and that something else is bothering him... Hmmm. Confusing.

I don't think Mares and Gentle-stallions needs to be switched... But whatever floats your boat :pinkiehappy:

That was... Unexpected, and a little cliché.

So Elusive does like Barb? But used her in a way that's a little unclear... And Applejack kissed him in the middle of a fight? This has gotten really weird with a lot of things coming way out of left field.

Well. That entire gay thing, while there's nothing wrong with it, came out of no where. Though I suppose you were hinting at it by them teasing each other about it and being sensitive about it, eh sort of forced though.

The 'Elusive used Barbara' thing still confuses me a bit though. I'm just not clear on exactly how he used her.

The story was nice. I liked it. It may have chapters that could really be condensed into about four to six, a few continuity errors but aside from that it flows pretty well for a first multi-chapter story.
And also I found the use of Brony instead of pony to be endearing:pinkiehappy:

6873915 Wow! I didn't expect to get comments and likes so soon! XD Thank you for giving my story an R & R.

Heh yeah, I just am not sure how else to convey excitement. :twilightblush:

Hmm alright I'll make a mental note of that for next time :) Yep I was trying to reference the episode where Applejack saved Spike from the Timber Wolves.

Hmm confusing.

Good chapter anyways, even though I think AJ's moving a little too fast I think it makes him more in character.

I do realize there are a lot of… ahem, 'plot holes' in this story, so to speak XD That is what the good news was, you're right :) thank you

Yes, ponies would probably know, I am guessing they would not care? I mean, no one seemed to bat an eye much when Spike was being obvious with Rarity.

XD I think she is hanging around Elusive too much, no?

Hmm I see what you mean, yeah. I guess I didn't make it clear. What happened was Barbara kept going to visit and check up on him, but he kept saying he was busy and couldn't see her right now, so she became depressed and blamed it on herself, not wanting to talk to anybody anymore.

Awe, so adorable:rainbowkiss:.

XD Sure if anyone asks say you got the idea from me hehe

But... Dusk knows why Applejack's been distant, unless he assume Aj got over it and that something else is bothering him... Hmmm. Confusing./quote]
That's why. He assumed his friend would be over it and that Barbara was over thinking things ^^

I felt like switching it to match to the gender bent world a bit better :)

I probably should have added some sort of AppleDash tag in this, yeah, but I wanted it to be a surprise too. AJ is a good pony, and I wanted him to get a happy ending in all of this, even if it wasn't with Barbs like he wanted. And this was part of the reason why he was giving her (but mostly everyone in general) the silent treatment. He was confused and frustrated about liking stallions.

The story was nice. I liked it. It may have chapters that could really be condensed into about four to six, a few continuity errors but aside from that it flows pretty well for a first multi-chapter story.

He never meant to use her, but things got carried away when the VIPs showed up. He didn't mean any of it and loved Barbara.

Thank you so much for giving my story a read and offering tips and ways to improve. I will keep these points in mind for the next story :pinkiesmile::pinkiesmile::pinkiesmile:
