Relationship Problems: Code Blue...Blood

by Seanessy

Epilogue- What A Twist

Rarity gently squeezed Applejack as they nuzzled close to each other, watching the sun slowly set on the horizon. The wind blew gently as the grass tickled their fur.

“That sure is one heck of a sunset huh?”

“Yes, but it’s not nearly as dazzling as you.”

Rarity wrapped her hooves around her and kissed her friend on the cheek. Applejack blushed.

“Aw shucks, will ya stop with all the compliments already? Ah already told ya I forgive ya for everythin’.”

“I know. I’m just glad to have you back is all.”

“Speakin’ of which, what happened between you and Prince Blueblood anyways?”

Rarity sighed. She knew eventually she was going to have to tell Applejack the truth. She shook her head and stared at the grass for a few seconds before turning to her friend.

“You promise not to laugh when I tell you?”

“Ah promise sugarcube.”

*************

“So Blue, what did you want to ask?”

“Well, now that we are on good terms. I feel you should know that I’m looking for a serious relationship.”

Rarity put a hoof to her mouth as her eyes widened. “Oh Blue, I d-”

“I know this is sudden but…will you introduce me to Applejack?”

Rarity blinked. “What?”

“Her orange fur, her blonde mane, her freckles, that accent, not to mention those delicious apple fritters she made at the Gala just made me fall in love.”

“I…eh…wha?”

“Yes, I know I caused such a fuss over them that day, but the taste on my tongue still lingered, despite them being common carnival fair, they were simply divine, baked from what clearly must’ve been the finest apples in Equestria!”

Rarity’s mouth hung open. She tried to make a sound but her vocal chords were frozen stiff.

“I know I acted terribly toward you and the show I put on in front of her was anything but pleasant. But I thought, if I can redeem myself in your eyes, you would put it in a good word for me. So what do you say?”

************

Applejack stamped the ground as she desperately tried to hold back her laughter. She eventually caved in and tumbled to the ground crying and kicking her back legs in the air. Rarity glared at the earth pony then eventually her lips curved into a smile and she laughed too. Applejack sat up and wiped away her tears, trying to catch her breath.

“Whoooo doggy! He is one crazy colt.”

“All colts are. Thank goodness I have you.” Rarity said as she nuzzled her friend. Applejack pulled away and scratched her chin with one hoof.

“I don’t know, now that I’m thinkin’ bout it, he is rather good-lookin’, and I could become one of them fancified princesses if’in I were to marry him.”

“Oh please, you wouldn’t last one day as a princess, you can’t even sit still when I do your hair!”

“That’s cause yer so danged heavy hoofed.”

Rarity scoffed and sized Applejack up and down. “I am NOT heavy hoofed. My touch is delicate!”

“Last time ya braided my hair I thought ya were tryin to skin me.”

“I use MAGIC to braid your hair. Your argument is invalid. Hmf!”

“Alright then yer magic is heavy hoofed.”

“That doesn’t even make any sense!”

“Does too.”

“Does not!”

“Does too.”

“Does not!”

Applejack kissed Rarity gently on the lips and smiled. The unicorn, taken aback, curled her lips and blushed. Applejack snickered and pressed a hoof to her chest.

“Does too times infinity.”

Rarity smirked and gave the country equine a kiss back. “Does not times infinity plus one.”

“Ya know,” the orange mare said wrapping her fore legs around the unicorn, “ya still owe me a date. So where ya takin’ me?”

Rarity smiled slyly.

----

“Gee, this was unexpected.” Applejack said as she sat in the mineral bath.

Rarity cuddled up next to her, softly rubbing her nose against Applejack’s neck.

“Isn’t it just the best way to relax with your special somepony?”

Applejack rolled her eyes. “If yer special somepony is Rarity then it’s really the only way yer allowed to relax.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” the unicorn said backing away.

“Whatever you want it to mean hun.”

“I detected sarcasm.”

“Ah’m just sayin’ there are plenty other places to have a date.”

“The spa is one of my most favorite places to go. You should be honored to be here with me.” Rarity raised her head and folded her forelegs.

“Right cause the Ponyville Day Spa is soooo exclusive.”

The orange equine chuckled. The unicorn glared and pointed at her.

“With the money you make, you’re barely able to keep your farm, so this IS pretty exclusive for you.”

“Maybe ah should gon’ ahead up to Canterlot and marry Blueblood then! Since he thinks I’m so pretty and all.”

“Go right on ahead! He’ll eventually get tired of that barn yard smell you so graciously sport around!

Applejack pressed her face up against Rarity’s and shoved a hoof into her chest.

“Ya’ll sayin I stink?”

“Well, I don’t always bring you to the spa because you smell like a springtime meadow.”

“You wanna fight Ms. Fussy Flank?”

“I told you NOT to call me that!” the unicorn exclaimed as she pushed the country pony away.

“Fussy Flank! Fussy Flank! Fussy Flank!”

“I’m warning you Applejack, one more time...”

Applejack smiled and nuzzled her friend’s cheek. The unicorn moaned softly as the earth pony placed gentle kisses on her neck.

“Mmmm, I love you Applejack.” Rarity said softly.

“I love you too…” Applejack whispered before gently kissing up to her ear, “…Fussy Flank.”

Applejack splashed the unicorn in the face then jumped out of the mineral bath.

“Oh. It. Is. ON!”

Rarity shook the water off her face and jumped out of the mineral bath. She chased her friend out of the spa and into an open field where she tackled the earth pony. She smiled as she gazed into her lover’s green eyes. They nuzzled noses and wrapped their hooves around each other as they kissed while the soft grass gently grazed and tickled their freshly washed fur.

The End

Comments

[Lenora Goff]

Niiiiice.

I like this writing style.

The story was pretty good too.

[mrxeno]

Great fic is great

[Faust Fan Five]

Oh my gosh! It's here! A must read, for sure. I loved the prequel, and something tells me I'm going to love this as well.

[Bell45]

well i did not see that response from Blueblood comming

[Twilicorn]

I'd love to see a sequel where they get engaged :D

[Telaros]

My laughter just exploded at seeing that cover fic. I like the description. I will totally be reading this.

Btw, I have a friend who he and his team are working on a Visual Novel.... It's human based (I can hear the moans and groans already) but the style is beautiful, the team is totally serious, and as far as writers I've read from you seem to have a way with Rarity I simply adore. You didn't make her seem easy, you made her an emotionally finicky and picky mare afraid of falling for the wrong person; always shielding her heart.

Would you be interested in taking a gander and possibly consider writing for Starswirl Academy? Now that this epic is done and all. Contact Derpii Hooves at DerpiiHooves and check out Starswirl Academy they just can't find any Rarity writers that are able to write for her well. I've read Bed Time Secrets, Strange Bedfellows, and countless others but yours I dare say... has just the right mix of what I love and see in Rarity. I hope you consider looking into it.

Was my reaction to your comment. You really think I have a shot? It would be such an honor to be apart of something like this. Thank you so much for telling me about. I'm going to contact DeripiiHooves right now. After I catch my breath from the excitement of possibly being a part of a big thing in the My Little Pony community. *inhale* Alright Sean, remember your 3P's... professional, polite, and prompt. *exhales and squeals to self for a second before clicking link*

Hey there. I'm Producer for Starswirl. Telaros is half-right. We're looking for an additional writer, but it's for Fluttershy, not Rarity. You write a great Rarity, and if you think you can do Fluttershy, then I can't wait to see what you come up with for a writing sample. Good luck!

[asdfabaeradjargasdfasd]

I kinda expected Blueblood to do that.
Did Rarity buck him in the face or not?

[Xaidon]

Oh my gosh that was absolutely <3 oh my gosh please tell me your gonna make more of this when i read this im like watching the tv series just better <3 this is with out doubt my favorite Rarity x Applejack fanfic and "My Darling Sugarcube" was also wow i hope so much your gonna make a continuation to your series <3.

[justanothermonday]

Oh wow, that last chapter was hilarious!

Awesome fic, well done all around!

[Spice of Life]

I finished reading this last night and I have to say, another great story. Although personally I think I preferred my darling sugar cube. Your writing style is certainly better but I think Rarity and AJ had better chemistry in MDSC. Really until the end of the story, I didn't really feel like Rarity had as much interest as AJ had in her, although this could be because the story was primarily from AJ's point of view. The ending was a bit odd also, I fully expected Blueblood to be after AJ because of the picture for the story but it didn't quite seem to fit that well into it.... although it worked for a comedy end, I think if it turned out he had proposed to Rarity it would have made the ending have more power to it. It is a lil bit too easy to interpret the end as "turns out hes not after Rarity at all so she settles for AJ"

Success! Thank you so much!!

1199569
Thank you!

I'm glad I was able to make her come off as a compelling antagonist. Hopefully she does redeem herself in your eyes at the end though?

1213226
I'm so glad you've liked them so far! I'll probably throw in some short one-shots of these two as a couple in some silly adventures. The next serious one is going to involve a dilemma with Spike and his emotions for Rarity. As you know, up until this point, he's been completely clueless to everything...or has he?

1219347
Thank you sooo much! I'm glad you liked it!

In MDSC, I focused heavily on Rarity's emotions while it seemed Applejack's fell in place according to the story. Despite that going over well decently well, I wanted to really focus on Applejack's feelings in this fic. I really wanted to antagonize Rarity in this fic, while presenting real life relationship psychology, as to not make the reader completely loathe her. Then, kind of bring it back casually instead of a dramatic emotional explosion, but perhpas, given the situation, a little more from Rarity would've made a stronger ending. I considered having Blueblood see Applejack again and confess his love, then have Applejack try and convince Rarity, but that seemed too cliche' and also didn't fit well with the story I was trying to tell. I wanted Rarity to keep that redeeming quality that, despite lying about it, she truly does love Applejack. (In this universe of fanfiction at least ^^) Now I'm wondering if there may have been another interesting way to go about it. Hmmm. Thank you for your comment by the way, I really appreciate it and it's got me thinking.

[Xaidon]

Ok just dont make it heartbreaking it would be a shame if the purple dragon began to ruin the couple! he could always try sweetie bell <3

[Swashbucklist]

1235664 Rarity is an emotionally mature mare who can handle herself and has a lover to support her. Spike is a young man who's about to have his heart shattered. Don't take this wrong, but it seems pretty horrible to be more concerned for Rarity and AJ's feelings. Recently, this fandom has been giving me a stronger and stronger impression that it doesn't care about Spike. It's getting rather depressing.

m8 you do know his a baby dragon? + she doesn't have any (love)feelings for spike and i do not personaly love the thoughts with Spike x Rarity i rather have my favourite pony paired up with my second favourite but thats just me i personaly dont hate Spike i actually love that cute dragon and if i could keep him i would have done that!!!! BUT i just cant see him as a love baby dragon but hey its just fanfic's there is probably lots of Spike x Rarity fanfics but i personaly prefer to read Rarity x Applejack .

[MasterZero]

You had an issue with commas and capitalization here and there, throughout the story. If you want, I can get examples straight from the texts. Not now. Right now its nearly 4 AM. Bravo on keeping me awake with your story.

All in all, a decent read. More Rarijack is always good.

[Faust Fan Five]

Very well done....... Could you possibly make this a trilogy? iaza.com/work/120924C/iaza11560224134700.gif

[Emperor of Jurai]

Ya know normally I get all fussy over chapter lengths as I tend to assume short chapters as being so fast pace they seem rushed but yours.....while not the shortest I read but still yours are those little quickies I can read and yet adore so much. HOW you do that I will never know but still I respect it and I hope to read more of your...how would Rarity put it......ah yes...'Fabulous work darling'

Either way I did chuckle quite a bit at Blueblood......I'm mixed on him since well he SEEMS better but still.....wtf brony? *laughs hard*

[The Princess Rarity]

“I love you, Applejack.”

She lowered her head, defeated, turned around and began to walk again.

“What do you love ‘bout me?”

Rarity stopped and turned her head towards the earth pony.

“Wh-what?”

Applejack faced the unicorn giving her a stern gaze. She then plopped her rear down onto the grass.

“It’s a simple question; What do ya love about me?”

Rarity cast a glance at Twilight who merely shrugged her shoulders. Was Applejack forgiving her? Or was this merely a test? A sick game to get revenge and play with her feelings perhaps? She walked to her orange friend and sat down in front of her shuffling the grass with one of her hooves as she thought.

“Is there anything specific you want me to say?”

“The truth.”

Rarity looked down at the grass carefully picking her brain for words.

“I really…like your mane?”

Applejack scoffed and began to turn away before the unicorn grabbed her and looked sincerely into her eyes.

“I love the way you scoff when you’re frustrated with me. I love how I can depend on you in a crisis. I love your hoof-made apple turnovers. I love your honesty, your caring heart, your freckles, your dazzling emerald eyes.”

Rarity blushed and leaned in slowly, Applejack moved her head back only slightly, as if unsure whether she decode the amount of honesty in the unicorn’s words. Rarity gently rubbed her cheek against her friend’s.

“I love kissing you, I love feeling your fur against mine; your adorable accent. I love your heart warming smiles and the cute shade of red you turn when I kiss your cheeks.”

Sure enough, against Applejack’s will, her cheeks flushed red after the unicorn planted a gentle kiss on each one. The country equine curled her lips slightly trying to hide a smile.

“I love the feeling I get when you wrap your hooves around me. I love taking in your scent when we cuddle. I love that no matter how I’m bad I’m feeling, I can automatically think of you and find peace in my heart. I love who you are. I love who I am when I’m around you. I love you, Applejack.”

Twilight did her best to sniffle quietly as her eyes filled with tears at the romantic moment her two friends shared. She covered her mouth as a small whimper found its way out.

Applejack stared into the tear filled azure colored eyes of her friend. She felt all ill feeling inside her break; a warm sensation in her heart grew and the gaze of sincerity in the unicorn’s eyes instantly melted away all the anger and frustration she had carried for what seemed like decades. “I… I love you too, Rarity.”

Their mouths shared a soft embrace. The two ponies exchanged emotions of, passion, sorrow, and infatuation, as their lips intertwined, dancing close like lost lovers who were finally reunited after years of disconnection. Twilight was unable to hold her overwhelming emotions and wept to herself softly.

I oughta have Celestia send you to the moon for that beauty. It broke whatever I had left of my feels. This story was just amazing, as is most of your work...

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry for this late reply. Sheesh time has really been flying by me. Thank you! And yes, there is a triology battling it's way around in my head.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do really like that scene, I just wish I did more with it, not quite sure what, but just a little something more. Anyway, thank you so much!

You bring up an interesting point. Although that seems rather mature given the amount of hurt AJ went through, I wanted to still portray that she was staying relatively strong but at the same time show the capability of her being a little cruel and a tad bit immature given what she went through. And (this is just me) if AJ had said that particular line I feel Rarity would succumb to guilt and actually wait, rendering the fight at the cart almost useless. Or would you feel it would still fit?

1323828
Oh Master Zero, it's so good to have your reviews. It's people like you who help me improve on the technical side of things! Thanks!

[Rhythmic Gravity Chance]

I am glad that you chose a appropriate picture for this story.
Well done.
