Simple Words [S4: "Simple Ways"]

Rarity sighed dreamily as she cleared away the last vestiges of her shrine to Trenderhoof.

"Guess th' honeymoon's over, huh sugarcube?" Applejack asked as she carefully straightened the dress she'd borrowed, now freshly laundered and back on its proper ponnequin.

Rarity sighed theatrically. "Yes, well...after everything that's happened recently, I've decided that perhaps Trenderhoof simply isn't my type."

"Meanin'?"

"Meaning," Rarity said as she scrubbed tape residue off her mirror, "that anypony who doesn't appreciate me for me and recognize my fabulosity simply isn't a pony who appeals to me."

Applejack chuckled. "An' you ride Rainbow Dash about her ego." Shaking her head, she sighed, "Ah'm mighty sorry, Rarity. Ah never meant t'—"

"Oh, it isn't your fault," Rarity said with a smile. "And I'm sorry I went a bit...off the rails there." She paused, then ducked her head. "I suppose my whole 'simple and country' routine was rather insulting, wasn't it?"

"A little," Applejack admitted. "Do you really see me an' mah family that way?"

"Of course not, darling!" Rarity said hastily. Clearing her throat, she looked away slightly. "W-well...admittedly, I suppose I do, sometimes, think your country manners, your countryisms, and your, err...overall, err..."

"Countryness?" Applejack supplied with an arched eyebrow.

"Ahem, yes," Rarity said. "And I mean...I know we live in different worlds, you and I, and the fact that I'm all about fashion and culture and society and you're all about chores and farming and, and...square dances..." Rarity grimaced. "Well, that's simply who we are, and I don't think any less of you for being who you are. Because, after all, you are my friend." She smiled.

Applejack chuckled. "Well, sometimes Ah think you're a fussy drama queen who gets all worked up over silly things an' sometimes you work mah last nerve, but...well, shoot, like you done jes' said, you're mah friend."

"Awww...!" Rarity rushed over and swept Applejack up into a hug, which was returned with almost bone-crushing earth pony vigor.

"But if you ever make fun'a th' way Ah talk ever again," Applejack said softly into her ear, "Ah'll do Big Mac's touchdown dance on your face."

"G-got it," Rarity wheezed out as her ribs creaked.

"Meaning," Rarity said as she scrubbed tape residue off her mirror, "that anypony who doesn't appreciate me for me and recognize my fabulosity simply isn't a pony who appeals to me."

And I thought Rainbow could get egotistical.

"Oh, it isn't your fault," Rarity said with a smile. "And I'm sorry I went a bit...off the rails there." She paused, then ducked her head. "I suppose my whole 'simple and country' routine was rather insulting, wasn't it?"

A bit, but oddly amusing.

"Ahem, yes," Rarity said. "And I mean...I know we live in different worlds, you and I, and the fact that I'm all about fashion and culture and society and you're all about chores and farming and, and...square dances..." Rarity grimaced. "Well, that's simply who we are, and I don't think any less of you for being who you are. Because, after all, you are my friend." She smiled.
Applejack chuckled. "Well, sometimes Ah think you're a fussy drama queen who gets all worked up over silly things an' sometimes you work mah last nerve, but...well, shoot, like you done jes' said, you're mah friend."

Daaw!

"But if you ever make fun'a th' way Ah talk ever again," Applejack said softly into her ear, "Ah'll do Big Mac's touchdown dance on your face."
"G-got it," Rarity wheezed out as her ribs creaked.

... OK, remind me never to get on her bad side.

[Enduring Man-Child]

What's this? No declarations that she now sees Spike as her one true knight in scaly armor?

I am disappoint.

And I thought Rainbow could get egotistical.

That's what I said...

Applejack chuckled. "An' you ride Rainbow Dash about her ego."

SEE!?

oh, and in cause it wasn't clear, that was supposed to be AJ's POV

[FanOfMostEverything]

Seriously, what even was that accent?

[SuperPinkBrony12]

Big Mac's touchdown dance? You mean like what he did as Orchard Blossom in "Brotherhooves Social"?

[garfan]

I don't know. Not a big fan of this one. I think it kind of misses the point of what Rarity was trying to do

"Do you really see me an' mah family that way?"

"Of course not, darling!" Rarity said hastily. "If I really saw you like that, why I'd have had to be ten times worse. I wasn't trying to be you I was trying to out-country you."

[SuperSonicHeroes]

Yeah, Applejack might be friendly, but don't screw with her or her accent.

[QueenMoriarty]

Well, someone missed the point of what Rarity was doing.

7348675 This guy right here gets it.

[DragonRaiderX9]

I'm not sure it did miss the point. In any case, whatever Rarity's motives were, I can imagine Applejack being a little put out by Rarity's antics.

I suppose the real question left over from this episode would be why Spike helped Rarity try to win Trendy's affections.

"Don't know what it's like to be obsessed, do I? Rarity, for that comment, I will personally make sure you crash and burn!"

Spiteful little guy, isn't he?

[GamerGoddessDin]

"Awww...!" Rarity rushed over and swept Applejack up into a hug, which was returned with almost bone-crushing earth pony vigor.

"But if you ever make fun'a th' way Ah talk ever again," Applejack said softly into her ear, "Ah'll do Big Mac's touchdown dance on your face."

"G-got it," Rarity wheezed out as her ribs creaked.

That last bit reminds me of this SAO Abridged scene: https://youtu.be/rGOAg2-iayc?t=28s
