AppleDash Group Collab

Honor - Tchernobog

"Th'honorable thing to do, huh?"

The words sounded odd to Applejack's ears. But then again, the entire situation sounded weird to her.

Her memory wandered back to her days as a young filly. With her parents already gone, Granny Smith had been the one to take her aside and tell her about the birds and the bees. She even vaguely remembered that one lesson in school, years ago. But there, too, they'd mostly mentioned a stallion and a mare.

The other ways had been mentioned in their schoolbook, but it had just been a small note, emphasising how rare such an event was.

It was just her luck that it would happen to her.

It had all started a few weeks ago. Waking up early, feeling nauseous, and rushing to the toilet. She'd been there, holding the colorful mane out of the way. There'd been cravings too, not long after. Usually anything except apples. 'Cause that would have been too easy.

The signs had been obvious enough, but confusing. The pair had talked - neither had been with anyone else. How had this happened?

So Applejack had gone to Twilight. If anyone could find an answer, the librarian could.

And she had. Twilight had recognized it immediately, even mentioned that old schoolbook.

"Didn't you get sex-ed in school?" Twilight had asked, tilting her head.

"Yeah, but it didn't really cover this! All the teach talked about was stallions and mares." Applejack blushed, staring at the ground. "Was really awkward around the colts after that."

"Tell me about it." Twilight rolled her eyes. She cleared her throat. "Okay then. When two mares love each other very much..." She began, earning a groan from the orange mare.

"Twilight... I ain't a foal no more."

"Sorry!" Twilight giggled, hugging the earth pony. "I'm just so happy for you two!"

Applejack grinned, nudging the unicorn in the belly. "Don't get sidetracked here!"

"Oh! Sorry. Well. It's why Equestria has so many mares, but we do fine. It's part of everypony's magic. If two mares love each other very much, when things get, uh, passionate, the magic flares up, then meshes together inside one of the two, and forms life." She smiled at her friend. "It even works for infertile ponies."

"What about two stallions? They can't exactly, uh... carry a foal, can they?"

Twilight frowned, considering the question. "I... don't think so? I don't know! I'll have to look that up."

"Don't worry 'bout it, sugarcube." Applejack blushed. She remained silent for a moment, before a thought struck her. "Why Dash, though? Why not me?"

"Princess Celestia once told me about that. The, erm, 'father', in this case, is the one who loves the other pony the most." Twilight's grin took on Pinkie Pie proportions as Applejack's face turned increasingly red. "So, when's the wedding?"

Applejack's thought process came to a screeching halt. "Wedding?"

"You're gonna do the honorable thing and marry Dash, aren't you?" Twilight asked, frowning slightly. "She's carrying your foal, after all."

Applejack stared at her reflection in the mirror, then at the small box next to her hoof.

She was going to do the honorable thing. She loved Dash with all her heart, and she already loved the little bundle that Dash was now carrying. Her lips twitched upwards as she fought the smile. Dash would be absolutely gutted to learn who apparently wore the saddle in the relationship.

But before all of that, there was still something she had to do.

She had to propose.

First steps first, after all.
