I wanted to do a comedy-style story for once, involving Applejack and Rarity. No it is NOT a yuri/yaoi story. I hate them Dx Cover image by me. My second published story. Hope you like it, everypony!

The white unicorns laughed with Spike as the camera zooms and focuses to the sky.

"And, that's a wrap!"

Rarity and Sweetie Belle undone their hair, which were tied up.

"Wow, that was a good episode to act out!" Sweetie smiled."I loved how I could run all the time!"

"Well Sweetie, let's go back home." Rarity said as her horn lit up. Sweetie Belle landed on a saddle atop Rarity's back, and the unicorn trotted at an evenly pace. She passed an orange earth pony who stopped once she realised who it was.

"Well, hiya, Rarity." she said. "That sure was a good episode, huh?"

"Mhm, I think I'll go check my gems with Sweetie Belle at home. I have to make good costumes for next week's episode, after all!"

Applejack cantered to the farm, where her brother, Big Mcintosh, her younger sister, Applebloom, and elderly resident, Granny Smith, were waiting. The crew of MLP: FIM were still cleaning the props up from Sweet Apple Acres, which meant they had to clean up the mudholes, jars of Zap Apple jam, Chicken Coops and more. Applejack ran upstairs to have a short nap. After all, she had been filming virtually all day. As she settled down, a thought struck her.

What does Rarity do outside of filming?

She decided that the next day she'd find out for sure.

"Applejack," a voice said cutely. "Y' gunna wake up?"

Applejack's eye muscles came to, and she opened her eyes. Her little sister, Applebloom, was nudging her slightly.

"The Zap Apples are coming later!"

Applejack jumped off her bed. She stared at Applebloom. The little filly had set her hopes up high on thinking that Applejack was excited and she'd help with the jam bottling. But, in reality, Applejack's mind was spinning with questions on how she'd kick dirt on the white unicorn she had saw the day prior.

"Maybe I should go in when she's going shopping," Applejack said out loud. "She always forgets to lock her door."

"Big sis?"

"Or should I get Sweetie Belle to let me in?"

"Hello?"

"Perhaps I could bring her into the Day Spa?"

"Sis?"

"Or maybe--"

"APPLEJACK!!"

Applejack jumped practically three feet in the air. A brown filly came in with a slightly curly mane that was a radient magenta. She was wearing a crimson cloak that had a yellow ensignia of a filly on a blue background.

"Hi there, cousin!"

Applejack turned around. "Hiya, Babs Seed. Made any new friends in Manehatten?"

"Yup," Babs grinned. "A girl and a boy. One that was called Necti Rine and one called Blak Berries..."

"That's great, Babs! Did they come with ya?"

"Well, they did but they are staying in the Hay and Stay Hotel, just past Sugarcube Corner."

Applejack opened her saddlebags up and put in all manner of objects, none that Applebloom and Babs Seed could see.

"What y' doin', sis?" the cream filly asked, whilst glancing at her cousin in the corner of her eye.

"Ah'm goin' somewhere, lil' filly."

"Where?"

"Ah'm gonna see--" she began. Should I really tell her I'm sneaking into Rarity's house? "...Ah'm... gunna go see Twilight... in the... theater, yeah, that's it. Great movie, heh..."
There's no way ah'm gunna see that movie ever. "Well, gotta go now. Bye, lil' sis!" she ran out the door frantically.

"But Twilight's a horrible movie," Babs said. "Why would she want to watch THAT movie of all things in the name of Celestia?"

"Ah don't know," said Applebloom. "But the look on her face makes me think she's lying t' me."


AN: I didn't mean to hurt any pony's feelings if you like Twilight. I just need a point in the story for an excuse.

"Oh, hi Applejack." Sweetie Belle squeaked. "You're just in time!"

"Time for what?" Applejack asked.

"Where's Applebloom? It's time for our Cutie Mark Crusaders meeting!"

"Oh, that? Applebloom changed it to.. err.. The clubhouse, yeah, the, er, clubhouse."

"Oh, okay then, Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said as she trotted out of sight to go to the clubhouse. Applejack peered in. No Drama from upstairs, or the ground floor. She cantered in and saw the chest. She ran over to it and noticed a lock.

"Dangnabbit!" she scowled. The lock was shaped like a Rupee, from The Legend Of Zelestia. She saw a key on a cupboard upstairs a few days ago when Rarity was making the farmer 'pretty' for the Grand Galloping Gala.


[A Few Days Ago...]

"Applejack," Rarity shouted. "Stay still, or I can't tie this saddle properly!"

"Well excuse me, Princess," Applejack countered. "I didn't agree to getting 'spruced down'!"

The white unicorn pulled on the string tightly. Applejack was trying to breathe, but the drama queen was tightening it still.

"Phew. There, all done!"

But the earth pony was laying on the ground, coughing roughly.

"Rarity, did you have to tie it that tightly?"

The sun glistened through the large glass window and a beam of sunshine bleached the room. A small, golden object was glittering in the sunlight on a red cupboard that had the sewing machine and three rolls of fabric on. Applejack wondered what it was for, when she got shoved out the room.

"Now go on! Go get your hair done, Applefat!" Rarity shouted.


[Now Back To Present...]
Appejack ran upstairs. She gasped as she saw the room in a large mess. Rarity would never leave her house in a mess like this. She saw something on the floor. It appeared to be the same key she saw the other day, and, believe it or not, it was Rupee shaped. but, it looked slightly bent at the end, and there were a few scrapes on it. Applejack took it, and ran downstairs. She placed it in the gem-shaped lock, and turned it around. She lifted the lid off and gasped. It was amazing, it was...

...It was...

"Sonic Gems Collection?" Applejack asked. "Now why would Rarity put this in a..."

The farmer then realised. It was a 'gem collection' in a chest! She burst out laughing litres of joyful tears.

"Oh.. My... I get it!!" She then burst out again. She was rolling on the floor, and--

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER?!!"

Applejack turned around to see Sweetie Belle there. At first AJ didn't know WHAT was up. Then, right next to her hooves, was the white unicorn, unconscious.

"GOT YOU!!" Rarity shouted as she jumped up, scaring Applejack.

"Woah nelly, nice one, Rarity! Y' really got me!" Applejack said.

"Wow. That was a sure funny joke. Hahaha!"

Rarity went over and picked the game case up with her magic. "Who's up for a game of Sonic Gems Collection?"


I hope you liked this story. I put a teeny bit of seriousness into it, but I think it turned out alright.
