Applejack's day off

"Hey AJ"
>"Howdy anon, how've you been?"
"Pretty good, you know...hard working here and there. I really don't like to stuck with only one job"
>"That' understandable. I had one cousin that keep going here and there trying to find his real..."
"Yeah, yeah, that's great. Listen..."
>"Don't have to be so rude anon, I have this other cousin that..."
"Applejack..."
>"I did it again, right? Sorry."
"I wanted to make you a proposition..."
>"Oh gee Anon, I'm flattered but you're not really my type"
>Jesus, such honestly always turns you on
"It's not what you think. I've noticed that you are working all the time, day and night, and practically you never rest"
>"Oh, Anon that's so sweet of you..."
"So what do you say if we go to a little vacation, just you an me?"
>"You again?"
"What do you mean 'you again' ?"
>"First Twilight, then Rarity and now you? Listen, sugarcube, I have a lot of work here in the farm, and apple season just started. That means work for me, so I can't be a fancy mare like Rarity and give myself a rest. I don't have time for filly's games, y'know that?"
"Oh, AJ, but I just thinked on that. Twilight and your friends will help you on the farm while we're on vacation. And it will be only one week."
>"Hmmm, I'm not sure Anon. They're all too weak and lazy. Don't tell them I said that, I love my friends, but I can't deny the facts, y'know?"
"C'mon AJ, they're your friends. You can trust them, they can do anything to make a friend happy."
>"I...think you're right..."
>"Then let's go packing!"
>"...Ok...I'm still not sure..."
"Ready to go AJ?"
>"I don't wanna..."
"You're not gonna convice me with the sad face...again..."
>"But...but..."
"No 'buts', you're going to have a vacation, and you're going to have fun"
>"That's not fair..."
"It is...now, did you pack everything?"
>"Hmmm...yeah"
"Sunscreen?"
>"Yes"
"Bikini?"
>"Ye...wait, why should I use a bikini?"
"No reason in particular. Now, we're ready! Let's go"
>"Whatever."
>...
>In the middle of Everfree forest
"This looks like a nice place for camping, don't you think?"
>"Are you sure about this? There's a lot of monsters, dangerous monsters..."
"Oh, you silly AJ, those are stories to scare little fillies away from the forest. I'm going to build the tent, you can prepare some food and after eating we can go explore"
>"Ok, I guess..."
"...Hey AJ, how do these things work?"
>"Are you...? *sigh* Why do I even bother?"
"That was a nice apple salad. You are a great cooker, you know that?"
>"It is nothing really, it's just an old recipe momma apple discovered when she was a young mare. It has been in apple familiy from generations"
"Seriously this is the best salad I've ever eaten."
>"Oh Anon, stop being a toady..."
"I was just..."
>"Now, do you still want to take a walk?"
"Sure, do you know this place?"
>"I though you do..."
"AJ, I came here just to have fun, not to learn"
>"At least you have a map? A compass? Indications in the trees?"
>Shrugs
>"So we're in the middle of the Everfree forest without knowing anything about how to leave?"
"I didn't say this would be the perfect vacation..."
>"Oh darn...what do...what do?"
"Relax Applejack, remember that 'the righteous shall inherit the earth', etc..."
>"That doesn't help, Anon...."
"Let's just take a walk..."
"Haven't you find the camp?"
>"No, I have not..."
"Ehmmm...what about now?"
>"Shut up, just shut up!"
"Why are you so angry, aren't you having fun?"
>"NO, I'M NOT! I'm hungry and cold and I miss the farm and..."
"Why do you like so much to work anyways?"
>"Because, that's the only thing I'm good at. Everything else, I'm just a mess. I couldn't even won that ribbon..."
"Applejack, you're a great pony. You are literally an element of harmony that represents the honesty. It's one of the greatest honors a pony could ever have. You're also dedicated, friendly, loving mother and sister"
>"W-Wha, Anon I'm n-not a m-mom..."
"The way you take care of all your family and the hard work you put in every little thing you make, that's what a real mother do."
>Blushing intensifies
>"A-Anon stop s-saying those d-dumb things..."
"Ha ha, oh AJ, you're sucha a silly pony. Now let's get out of here"
>"You're saying you knew the path this whole time?"
"Nope. I just like to walk."
>"You know what? Me too"
"So Rainbow only learn things she sees while flying? Oh my god that's gold!"
>"Yeah, that was the only way she could pass that test..."
"Poor Dash, it's not her fault anyways."
>"You know, Anon? Despite all annoying, stupid, rude and selfish you could be, at the very bottom you are a nice..."
"Look AJ, I think I see the tent."
>"Oh...great."
"I'm starving, don't you?"
>"Oh sure I am"
"You prepare the camp fire and I'll get the marshmallows"
>"That sounds like a plan"
>So AJ and I spent all night talking about her adventures through all of Equestria. Even though I've already heard all of them, there was something in Applejack that fascinated me about how she tells stories
>Just like a good mom would do
>And of course, we ate marshmallows and talked more
>About the future and about our friends
>She is worried about what will be about Applebloom, mostly because she doesn't want her to leave the farm. I explained her that she's not the type of pony that forgets the family
>We talked a lot about the next Pinkie party and how much fun we will have
>It's amazing how much you can talk with this pony withot the fear of being judged or mocked.
>How can she do that to me?
>How can she made me feel all these things by only talking?
>It's feels almost magical
>But it's already too late and we decided to get some rest because that walk was truly exhausting
>Good night, AJ
>The next day was very quiet, we ate breakfast and decided to take a bath the river
>"Hey Anon, are you coming or what?"
>She seems she's enjoying her well deserved vacation
"Hold on a sec"
>"You are too slooow"
"Don't make me go in, I don't like cold water."
>"Oh I get it, you're just a chicken. Hahahaha I will tell the others Anon."
"I-I'm not, just preparing..."
>A long preparation is required
>But then you feel a hoof on your ankle
>Nothing good is coming from this
>The hoof pulled you to the water
>And you hold your breath because this is not how you want to die
>After a whie you pull your head off the water
"I could've died, you know?"
>"No you're not."
"Hmmm, whatever"
>And then you see the most beautiful smile you've ever seen
>Nothing can compare to this moment
>"Are you ok? That swim really hit you hard"
"Oh...it's nothing"
>After a few minutes we both went back to the camp and decided to head back to Ponyville, or Applejack would become mad
>"Anon, it was a nice vacation, Thanks for helping me realize I needed it"
"No problem AJ"
>In the end, Applejack and I arrived at Sweet Apple Acres
>It was more than obvious that her friends will make a disaster in the farm
>But when she found out, she didn't blow up in anger, or yelled
>She didn't even change her expression in the face
>Well, actually she did
>She just smiled, like a welcome party
>Because that's what she's best at
>Hard working to solve everypony's mess
>"This is definitely my home."
>That was the only thing she said in the rest of the day
>A week later we came across each other 'accidentally'
>Like everyday
"So AJ, I've noticed you haven't get stressed during working lately"
>"You know why, sugarcube"
"Any plans for next week?"
>"Are you thinking on another travel to the forest?"
"The forest is too boring, the beach is my natural enviroment"
>"You'll never change, won't you?"
"Not on my plans"
>"I like that, and...now that I think about it..."
>"I'm having a lot of troubles harvesting these apples, y'know? I was thinking that maybe your hands could be very useful..."
"I like using my hands for things"
>"Me too. I-I mean, working....Anon! You did that on purpose"
>Applejack is such a silly pony
