This was written for Bicyclette’s Applepie contest!! I used a prompt generator to come up with an idea and got ‘space au + chill // bonus: mutual pining’
Applepie is one of my all time favourite ships and it’s so underrated!! I’m glad its getting more attention haha.

Applejack feels lonely and homesick on a spaceship far from home. Pinkie Pie, a pony who sits with her at lunch, is determined to change this.

haha me too!! no way i was missing this- had some stuff come up but i’m super happy i finished it on time lol

That is so adorable!

Cute and funny. Short, but not rushed. Good use of your prompt. All-around, a solid ApplePie story. Good job! :pinkiesmile:

She doesn’t think ponies were ever meant to reach the stars. Their hooves were only meant to till soil and raze the earth, and yet here she is, an uncountable number of hoofsteps away from her home.

the contrast between the earthy earthpony Applejack who loves pulling apples out of the earth, and being in space, is already very interesting to contemplate

The other mare was.. odd, to say the least.

hehe, that's our Pinkie Pie!

It looked (and quite frankly, smelled) like one of Appleblooms’ disastrous attempts to earn her cutie mark in ‘mud pie baking’. They hadn’t been able to get the stench out of the oven for weeks.

oof, that is not pleasant to imagine! i guess Sweetie Belle's not the only CMC to commit culinary crimes

First and foremost was the thick, curly, bright pink mane framing her face. Absently Applejack wondered how annoying it was to wear a helmet over it.

hehe, i'd imagine it needing to be packed in!

“It’s so amazing to meet you!! I’d throw you a party but because of what happened last time I’m ‘not allowed’ and ‘a danger to the crew’, whatever that means!”

can definitely imagine her doing air quotes with her hooves here, i love it when she does that

Maybe it was because she was admittedly kind of pretty.

aww yes she is

She probably wouldn’t be able to eat even if Celestia herself personally prepared a feast in her honour.

only Luna gets to do that!

Oh, right. Sometimes she thought Pinkie was smarter than she let on.

so true

There was a freshly baked apple pie just sitting in the middle of one of the tables in the empty cafeteria.

hehe, like the ship name! i get it!

Applejack smiled, a warm feeling settling into her gut as she cut a piece and held it out to the other mare, offering it to her.

aww, how adorable! such a nice moment of Pinkie's love language

short and literally sweet. thank you for writing!
