The very last thing Applejack wanted on a cold winter's afternoon was to be dragged away from her family and out on a thankless errand with Gilda, of all creatures. The griffon was rude, selfish, bullying, loud, and as self-centred as a spinning top.

All the same... for Rainbow's sake...

*COUGH/GASP!!*
Two stories from Wintermist so early in the new year?
Why thank you so much.

Beautiful I love it

Applejack really does bring out the best in everyone. Even a grumpy griffon. Belated Merry Christmas.

"Say 'Apples' for me."

A rather touching tale, this. :twilightsmile:

Geez, anything that's so much as a coincidence of matching with that game is a knee-jerk response with you, isn't it? Not that I'm complaining of course, it's a good game.

Also nice late Hearth's Warming story, good to see Gilda get some attention despite all the other griffins in the show now.

This was cute. Good stuff.

Aye, there it is, this was great, man.

Heyyy! I was wondering when this would turn up. Wish I'd saved my initial comment, but suffice to say you made two characters who have no right to work together, work. Good job.

9387935 I did agree on your comment, and actually polished that section for the re-post. Much happier with it now. Thanks for reading :twilightsmile:

'ey I know Gilda is "kinda" reformed but I'm happy to see her in her "natural" form and working well with the most stubborn of ponies...Well done, Wintermist.

Ri2

Gilda's impression of Applejack was spot on! I almost couldn't tell them apart.

"Well, with mah mighty power of two hats, Ah'm telling you: get back to lookin' for Rainbow's present, alright?"

Gilda stiffened and nodded. "I hear and obey," she said in a monotone before mechanically looking over each hat.

Applejack watched her for a few moments. "Huh." She looked up at her two hats. "Huh."

She grinned. "Well alrighty then."

Two months later, the second hat was destroyed, Applejack faced several thousand hours of community service, and Twilight Sparkle had somehow ended up covered in tattoos and sporting a pair of wings.

... I think I drifted into a different story at the end there. :derpytongue2:

In any case, I'd say this is the best AJ-Gilda story I've ever read, but I'm not sure if I've ever actually read anything else that features this particular duo. Brilliant character work for both, and a heartwarming conclusion. Thanks for a great read. You make for a fantastic Jinglemas Breezie.

9390389 Gosh. That sure reads more like what you'd expect from my pen, doesn't it? :twilightsmile:

9390389
Was that very weirdly coincidental, or did you just make the reference I think you made?
Shining lied about his father in the first intermission.

Oh! I was wondering what prompted the extra bit with the hats. I'm glad my comment helped - the new section improves the flow immensely, and is rather adorable to boot. :pinkiehappy:

After reading this, I really want to say friendship is magic .

They tried the bookstore. "Losertopia. Dash doesn't care about books . They're totally for nerds."

Actually rainbow dash likes certain book series Daring do just to put that out glida 😁

The griffon dropped out of sight. Watching for her to re-emerge, Applejack was caught off-guard when Gilda peered around the end of a row, wearing a suspiciously similar stetson hat. "Applejack, look. I'm you. Pony pony friendship apples."

Ok That part Caught me off guard I never seen glida act like that and I love it lol

Aww this was a nice Christmas story And I'm probly guessing this is during the time in season 2 because glida Never mention Griffin stone but it was nice applejack to help out glida Despite her attitude back in season one but Couple of stores glida Starting to show her soft side and thats nice to see and She really wants to do something nice for rainbow dash so applejack Bring out the best of creatures or ponies this was a nice story
