AJ's bizarre adventure

It was another uneventful day in ponyville, except of course for the screaming match that could be heard from across town. This had become a common occurrence, ever since the local human had started living at the apple orchard at the edge of town. They used to make such a cute couple, him and AJ. Unfortunately, ever since they started living together, things have gone south. When confronted about it they insisted that they still loved each other. While their almost daily shouting matches suggested otherwise. Despite that, they refused to break up or go to counselling and neither of them were willing to admit fault.


"This is the way mah family has been runnin' this farm since before I was born! I ain't changin' it for you or anyone else!"

"More like your family was too stupid to think up a better way and you're just to stubborn to admit when someone is smarter than you!"

"Lahk a monkey freak lahk y'all would know anything about how ah should run MAH farm!"

"Oh here we go again with racism! You have to insult my character because you KNOW I'm right!"

You are Anon, only human in equestria, and one half of ponyville's most dysfunctional relationship. Of course it wasn’t always that way, you used to live a normal life on a normal earth. That all changed when you pissed off that mad scientist…his goggles are still stupid. Things went pretty smoothly when you first got here. Ponies are an open minded bunch and things far weirder than a 6 foot tall bipedal hairless ape exist in this world. Your relationship with AJ wasn’t always this bad either. From the start you were pretty OK with the notion of dating ponies. They may resemble the horses from back home but they're just as sentient as humans. For a while you dated pony after pony, none of the relationships going anywhere serious. Until you started dating AJ.

 Now when you first met Applejack, the last thing you figured the two of you would do is date. She always seemed uncomfortable around you. She would avoid making eye contact and always had an excuse for being somewhere else when you were around. Even when you went to her stall to buy apples she had either her Big Mac or Apple Bloom talk to you. When you left could hear her muttering things like "stupid monkey" and "why don’t he get it?". You thought that she just hated you, imagine your shock when she finally confessed how she felt about you. You were taken aback, but once you got over your initial confusion you were quick to agree. For a while it was great, the two of you were absolutely smitten with each other. When neither of you had to work you were inseparable. Eventually you became the talk of the town. Ponies always asking when you two would move in together or when you were finally going to get married or have kids. after a while the two of you decided that you did in fact want to live with each other.

 Unfortunately that's when things started to go bad. Neither of you ever visited the other when they worked. As it turned out, you had radically different ways of doing things. Applejack was a pony of tradition. No matter what, she always did things the same way her family had always done them for years. Normally that wouldn’t bother you, but earth pones were a bit special. See they aren't terribly smart, so the way her family does things would be considered stupid even for the time they started doing them. Now that times had changed, they were especially stupid. Everything she did could be made trivial by advances in technology or even just knowledge in general. Equestrian tech was still only roughly equivalent to the old west's. But since you grew up on a farm you could make it so that AJ only has to work once a week.

Naturally you brought this up to AJ, hoping that after you improved the farm you two would have more time to spend together. However she wasn’t excited by the idea at all. Quite the opposite actually, she was livid that you would "insult apple family traditions" like that. This lead to the first of many, many arguments. At the time you just thought she was being stubborn and that after a while she'll come around. Oh how wrong you were. Every time after that whenever you commented on how the farm was run the two of you would argue. After a while things got so bad that Big Mac and Apple Bloom moved in with Mac's girlfriend just to get away from the fighting. Which brings you back to the present.

"No ah insult ya because ya keep callin' mah family dumb!"

"because they ARE! Even generations ago the way you run this so called 'farm' of yours would be backwards and crude at best!"

"course a city slicker like y'all wouldn't understand tha importance of tradition!"

"how many times do I need to tell you? I GREW UP ON A FARM!"

"well how come ah never seen this 'farm' ya 'grew up on' huh?"

"for fu- IT'S ON EARTH YOU RETARDED MUD HORSE! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO GET THERE!"

"and ahm an alicorn princess, y'all just can't see the horn or mah wings."

"sigh screw it, I need a beer, we can talk when you aren't being such a bitch."

With that you walked away, first to the fridge to grab the 6 pack you had in there. Then you went out to the edge of the orchard. As you sat under a tree drinking, you thought about how much better things could be for both you and AJ if only she would let you help her. "if only she wasn't so stubborn" you say as you idly pet Winona. Anymore she was your only friend, all the others were driven off by your constant complaining about AJ. You always did like dogs, for a while you even used to train them for 4H. It went well for the couple years you did it. Unfortunately you had to stop when your dog got hit by a car. Unlike the first time, where she survived with 3 broken legs, the second time she had been killed.

You sigh remembering your old dog, she may have been a bit hyperactive, but she always listened and did as told. You may have called applejack a bitch earlier, but when you think about it most of the female dogs you've met have been great companions. You scratch you fuzzy friend behind the ear, "you know, I used to think that all the racism towards earth ponies was unfounded, but now I see why people think they're a bit slow" you tell the dog laying in your lap. "at this point I think even dogs might be smarter" you muse. Suddenly the first inklings of an idea form in your mind. You start to wonder, if dogs and earth pones are at about the same level of intelligence; why couldn’t you try training an earth pony the same way you would a dog?

Of course, you knew that AJ was smarter than a dog, but your buzz was making this sound like a wonderful idea. It would take some time to get everything ready, but you decided here and now that you would see this through. With Big Mac and Apple Bloom living with mac's girlfriend, you hardly had to worry about anyone finding out about your plan. All you really needed to do was gather some bondage gear and a few dog related miscellaneous items like a collar to fit AJ. A few extra leashes and a cage big enough for her to sleep in too. You had your own separate savings that should be enough to cover the cost of everything you need for your little plan.

The next day you wake up with a very minor headache, you never drank enough to get a proper hangover. back home you had learned pretty quickly that you made an ass of yourself any time you got any more than a buzz going. You thought about your idea from yesterday, it didn’t seem quite as good as it did in the moment. But you knew it was something you had to do. Your parents had a relationship a lot like the one you were in now, in the 20 something years you lived with them it never changed. Almost daily they would argue and fight about even the most trivial things. No matter what happened neither of them were willing to change or compromise or even split up. For some odd reason they stayed together through all the fighting, claiming that they still loved each other, though you didn’t see it.

You really didn’t want to end up like them, stuck together but clearly hating each other. This didn't seem like the most sound idea but it was all you had, AJ wasn’t going to change; and you weren't going to let her beat you. You decided that today you would start getting everything ready for AJ's new life. You had quite a bit to go out and buy. When you had first arrived here you decided to set aside a bit of money from each time you were paid. Back home you used to play the stock market, so you knew the importance of a financial safety net. Even though the apple farm wasn’t very efficiently run it still made a good bit. You figure you'll be fine without your cash stash for a while.

It's been about a month since you started the preparations for your little plan. You've gathered nearly everything save for the specialty items you had to order from the griffon lands. There are very few ponies that are willing to work with leather, and the ones that would charge out the ass for the service. As for everything else, you've been keeping it under an already seldom used shed in a storage hole you dug for emergency supplies. You hardly had to worry about AJ seeing you bring any of it onto the farm. You were always the type of person to stay up until 3:AM and wake up around noon. Luckily apple family tradition dictated that she go to bed early and wake up at dawn. Anything too big to fit in your pockets you hid a little ways out of town. Then in the evening you would pretend to go out to the bar to drink. After it got to be around 2 in the morning you would go get your supplies and move them into the shed.

Today the cuffs you ordered from the griffons arrived. You figure that the next time it's your turn to cook dinner, you'll slip the sleeping potion you got from that annoying zebra in the forest into AJ's food. You're going to make sure that her dinner tastes extra good that night. After all, it's the last time she'll be eating real food for quite some time. When she wakes up you'll have her gagged and bound so that she'll only be able to do about as much as a dog. You're also sure you'll have to tie her front legs to her back ones in some way in case she tries to kick you. All her years spent bucking apples have made her legs something you don’t want to be on the receiving end of. Plus with how stubborn she is you're sure her face will be meeting the floor at least a few times before she learns. The only thing left to do now is wait, poor little earth pone will hardly know what hit her.

It's the morning after you're very special dinner, after she ate AJ was out like a light. Even an earthquake couldn’t have woken her up. You took your time getting her all tied up for her new life. You wanted to make sure everything was nice and secure and that she wouldn’t end up injuring herself if she struggles. You left the ball gag you had gotten for this out of her mouth for now. You figured you would at least let her ask a few questions before you'd take away her speech. She finally began to stir, as she went to get up she noticed her restraints.

"What in tarnation?"

"Oh good you're awake"

"What in blazes do y'all think yer doin' hog tyin' me lahk this?"

"I'm glad you asked" you say with a slight smirk "I've noticed how…strained our relationship is lately and I'm going to fix it".

"So y'all are gonna fix ahr relationship by tyin' me up? What sense does that make?"

"That's a part of it" you answer, "It's become clear to me that you just aren't up to the task of making your own decisions, so I'm going to be taking over for you". As she opened her mouth to protest you stuffed the gag in. "Now, now, no more of that" you say fastening the gag "From now on we aren't going to argue, you're just going to do what I say and we'll both be happy". She struggled against the restraints that limited her movement to that of a dog, but it was useless. everything you had  gathered for this was specially made to withstand earth pony strength. You picked AJ up off the bed and set her on the floor to let her test what she could do in her binds. Immediately she turned around to try and kick you. Almost instantly her face met the floor as her front legs were pulled out from under her. You chuckle a bit "did you really think I'd forget about how hard you can buck?" you asked condescendingly.

 As she laid on the floor waiting for the pain in her head to fade you fastened her new collar securely around her neck. When she finally picked herself up you clipped a leash to the collar and began to lead her to where she would be living from now on. She was still a bit dazed so she offered little in the way of resistance. Though she did stumble a bit when she tried to move faster than the binds would allow. You stopped when you arrived a few rooms down from the main bedroom. In this room sat everything you would need to "fix" you're marefriend. You led her over to the pony sized cage and tossed her in. You decided to leave her there until you could complete your renovations to the apple farm.

In between getting everything ready for AJ's new life, you started working on all the things that you would do to improve the apple farm. It only took you a few hours to get everything in place. After that it took you maybe an hour at most to get all the work for the day done. Instead of taking the whole day like it would have before. Noon had arrived and you decided it was time for lunch, you went to the kitchen to make a delicious sandwich for yourself. After that you went and got AJ's bowl so you could fill it with her lunch. Which from now on would consist of crushed pinecones and bean paste. Unfortunately her gag would have to come out so she could eat, but you planned on enforcing a no talking rule during feeding times.

As you made your way upstairs you heard the noise of someone throwing themselves against a cage. Upon entering the room you saw that AJ was violently throwing herself against the cage while trying to yell through her gag. You sat there for a few seconds before clearing your throat to get her attention. The look she gave you would have made a manticore freeze in it's tracks. You told her that trying to break the cage was pointless and that she'll only succeed in hurting herself. She just continued to angrily stare. Eventually her focus shifted to the bowl in your hand, her stare changed from anger to confusion.

"Oh this?" you say looking at the bowl "I figured you might be getting hungry so I brought you some lunch".

You set the bowl down and open up the cage. You grip her collar firmly so she can't move and begin to undo the gag. Once the gag slid out of her mouth she goes to speak, but you clamp your hand down around her muzzle and firmly tell her "Even though the gag isn't in I don’t want to hear a single word out of your mouth got it? If you talk I'll be taking your food away until dinner time". As you release her muzzle she stays quiet, since she didn't get any breakfast she's willing to cooperate for the sake of being fed. "Good girl" you say as you set the bowl in her cage and shut the door. As you get ready to go wash the gag out for when she's done eating you notice her expression. She looks perplexed by the "food" in front of her.

"And just what in tarnation is this slop?"

"Well it's your dinner instead of your lunch now, and it's a nice pinecone and bean puree" you say as you open the cage back up and take the bowl out.

As she opens her mouth to say something, you stuff the unwashed, saliva covered ball gag back into her mouth. "I told you that if you talked you wouldn't eat until the next meal" you chide. "I guess I'll just throw this in the fridge until dinner", as you leave you can hear her stomach growl. "Don't worry, dinner's only a few hours away" you tease. "I'm sure you'll survive" she looks at you pleadingly, probably hoping to get something out of pity, but you rarely ever give in to begging. She lays down in her cage with her head on the floor looking defeated when you tell her that begging won't change your mind and that it's her fault for breaking the rules. You leave to go find something to do until dinner. Remembering your long neglected reading list you head to the library to start catching up.

By the time evening rolled around you had finished 3 of the shorter books on your list, and it was closing in on dinner time. You finished eating and decided to treat yourself to some of the apple pie that was in the fridge. When you got the pie out you noticed AJ's food bowl sitting there from lunch. After you had cut and plated your slice of pie you got the bowl out of the fridge, you hoped she would behave this time. As much as you resented her for being a stubborn idiot, she was still the love of your life. You didn't really like the idea of starving her even if it's only one day. Unfortunately though, as much as you love her, you have to remain firm if you ever hope to change her for the better.

You made your way back to AJ for the second time today. Unlike before, the room you had left her in was silent. When you opened the door you saw her curled up on the floor of her cage. She was likely trying to ignore how hungry she was feeling. As a pony of routines and traditions the lack of meals today was taking a toll on her. She had given up her fight for freedom for now in an effort to conserve energy. She perked up a bit when she heard you enter the room, she got up and turned to face you. When she saw the pie you had the drool oozing from behind the gag visibly increased in volume. When you noticed that she was eyeing the pie you chuckled a bit. "Aww what a silly girl, everyone knows that bad pets don't get treats" you say condescendingly.

Once again you set the bowl in the cage and take out her gag. This time though, hunger compels her to stay silent. She eyes the mush in the bowl suspiciously. The green of the bean paste and brown of the pinecone resembling vomit. As she picks up a bit of the mush in her hoof she looks a bit disgusted. Even more so when she actually tastes the mixture. She immediately spits out the little bit that had touched her tongue, making a few disgusted noises as she did so. When she realized what she did she looked to you pleadingly, silently begging you not to take away her only food.

"Don't worry" you tell her, "I only said no talking during feeding times, I won't take away your food for that". With that she looked visibly relieved. "I'm going to go get this gag washed" you inform her. "Don't take too long finishing that up because this will be your last chance to eat until tomorrow". With that you leave her to her food while you go eat pie and wash her gag. Happy to be making progress with the stubborn mare, even if it's only because she's hungry. On your way back upstairs you consider rewarding her by spreading honey on her breakfast if she keeps up the good behavior. When you arrive back in the room the bowl is empty and AJ looks like she is barely keeping it down. She goes to say something but her hoof shoots to her mouth as she tries to hold back her vomit.

"Here, this will help you keep it down" you say presenting the gag, which she eyes apprehensively, obviously thinking a bit clearer with a bit of food in her. You lean down and open the cage door, you set the bowl on the floor near by and reach in to put the gag back in her mouth. As you do she clamps her mouth shut and tries to turn her head away. Not wanting to play games you grab her head firmly and force her mouth open "So much for her reward" you think. With the gag properly in place and her cage door shut, you pick up the bowl and begin to leave. As you, do you hear a muffled yell, you turn and look at your marefriend with an eyebrow raised. She tries to tell you what's wrong past the gag but eventually realizes it's a fruitless endeavor. After a bit of pantomiming on her part, you realize she needs to use the restroom.

"Oh, do you have to go potty?" you ask her the same way you would a dog, "OK, let me take you to go potty". Underneath the anger at being talked down to you can tell she is relieved. Of course if she knew what you had planned she wouldn’t have been. You attach the leash to her collar and lead her down the hallway, naturally she stops at the bathroom door. Giving you a puzzled look and protesting through the gag when you keep going past it. As you arrive at the front door to the farm house the realization of what you're planning slowly dawns on her "MMPPH!MMM!" she screams, the gag muffling her protests. She tries to fight you the rest of the way out the door. But the cuffs around her legs and the ropes tying them together give you the advantage.

Once outside all she does is turn and glare at you "What? You said you had to go potty so I'm taking you potty" you tell her matter of factly. "I mean, when have you ever seen a dog use a toilet?" she doesn’t even bother responding, opting to simply try and kill you with her eyes. It stays like this for a while, her glaring at you and you simply standing there, arms folded. Until suddenly her eyes widen. She shakes her head and mumbles through the gag, she tries to plead with you as her tail starts to rise. You simply stand there taking in the scene before you. With one final cry she loses control and starts relieving herself right where she stands. Once she finishes, all she does is sob. Mortified at both the fact that she lost control of her own body, and by the fact that she just went to the bathroom outside like an animal.

She collapsed on the ground and just kept crying, so you decided to be nice and carry her back upstairs. "There there" you tried to comfort her "It's natural for pets to the bathroom outside" at that she only cried harder. As much as it hurt to see her so sad you steeled your resolve. "This is for her own good" you thought, "At least no one saw you" you tell her. All she did as you carried her back upstairs and to her cage, was cry uncontrollably like an inconsolable child. Even as you set her back in her cage and unclipped the leash form the collar, all she did was curl up and continue crying. "Try to  get some sleep, I'll see you tomorrow" you say "Love ya". With that you closed her cage door, picked up the bowl, and left the room. You headed downstairs to wash the bowl out for tomorrow. As you worked, you thought about what you would do the next day. It was quick work though and afterwards you went back to your stack of books. It would be a good few hours before you went to bed so you wanted to make the most of it.

Tomorrow came quicker than you feel it should have. The light of that ever annoying sun barging through your bedroom window intent on ruining your sleep. After your morning routine was done you went downstairs to get some breakfast. Once you finished you started fixing something for AJ. Of course, it was just the same food paste as yesterday. You considered trying to make it a bit more tolerable. But AJ had been fussy about putting her gag back on so you decided against it. As you made your way back upstairs with bowl in hand you heard a muffled sobbing. You hope AJ got some sleep, you had a big day planned for her today. "Wakey wakey!" you say cheerfully as you enter the room "Time for breakfast!". As she looks up at you, you can see that her eyes are bloodshot, likely from crying all night.

Unfortunately your cheery demeanor only served to piss her off…bad. When you took the gag out and set the bowl in her cage she immediately spat in your face, bit your hand and attempted to throw the food at you. Her restraints kept her from being effective at the latter and she only succeeded at tossing the food onto the floor. Without her gag in she was screaming like a banshee about how you were "mistreating" her. Needless to say the whole thing made you pretty angry. After all, you thought you might be finally getting through to her. Almost without thinking you went and grabbed a couple of the "special" items you were planning on saving for later in her training. Since you were pretty limited on ways to punish her you decided to get creative. You grabbed one of the butt plugs you had gotten for her and some lube. The plug itself was a bit big for a beginner to take, but you knew it wasn’t big enough to cause any injury only discomfort.

"And what in tarnation is that funny lookin' thang?"

In your anger you remained silent as you lubed up the plug. You roughly grabbed her and practically threw her around so her rear was facing you. Though you couldn’t see it, her eyes widened as she finally realized what it was you had went to get. You jerked her tail upward so fast she yelped in pain. You didn't care right now though, you were just too angry. While you were rough with how you put the plug in, you managed to keep enough control over yourself to refrain from injuring her. After it was in you closed the cage door and left without saying anything. You didn’t even bother with her gag this time, you needed a drink and needed it now.

After her outburst and your response to it, you figured it would be best if you didn’t visit her again today. You both needed time to cool off. You spent the rest of the day drinking and reading. The whole time you had wished you put that gag back in before leaving though. The entire time you had to shut out the angry yelling from the caged mare. Towards the end of the day it started to die off. You figured it was because she was getting hungry again. After all, that food paste couldn’t be very filling and even then about half of it landed outside the cage. At least with the plug in you'd only have to worry about cleaning up her piss if she had to go to the bathroom. You figure it's the least she deserves for biting your hand like that. Hell the damn thing still hurt even though she didn’t draw blood.

You decided to call it an early day with how drained you were from losing all your progress with AJ. It was your fault when you think about it. Gloating with that cheery attitude after she spent all night crying. Of course you weren't going to apologize to her for it. You knew from your experience training dogs that showing weakness of any kind is a mistake. If you start going soft now she'll never learn. In fact, if anything, you might need to be even more strict. AJ was always a stubborn mare and getting her to change is a daunting task in it's own right. But a change like this, which would alter her entire life, would be a long and hard road. As you made your way to the bedroom you stopped by AJ's door. You thought for a few minutes about going back in and trying to get her to see why you're doing this. But you decided against it, she'd come around in time.

The next day you once again visited your new pet, you had to put her paste in a ladle since you left her bowl with her. This time when you entered her room you decided to stay silent. You didn’t want to repeat yesterdays incident or you would never make any progress with her.

"What? Nuthin' funny to say today?" she spat when she heard you enter the room

"No, now shut up and eat your slop" you say harshly as you ladle the "food" into her bowl. As with before she decides to stay silent because of her hunger. While she's eating you notice a particular smell permeating the room. A quick glance at AJ's cage confirms your suspicions. She couldn’t hold it all night and ended up pissing in her cage. After she finished eating you would have to give her a bath and get the cage cleaned up. When the last bit of mush was gone from her bowl you informed her that it was bath time.

"Can ya take tha' thang outta mah rear first?"

"Only if you promise to behave for the rest of the day"

She thinks for a moment but finally nods "First things first though" you say as you retrieve her gag, "Open wide". With only a moments hesitation she does as told "Good girl" you say, impressed with her obedience. After the gag is in place you attach her leash and lead her out of the cage. Once she's out you spin her around so her rear is facing you "Present" you say moving her tail up and out of the way. As you grab the base of the plug you tell her, "Just know that if you misbehave at all today I'll put one two sizes bigger in" she gulps and nods at your ultimatum.

You lead her into the bathroom then pick her up and set her in the tub. "I'm going to go clean out your cage, you just wait here" you tell her as you tie her leash to the faucet of the tub. It only takes a couple minutes to get the cage wiped up. But you take the extra time to add a lemony fresh scent since you were feeling nice. When you return to the bathroom to see AJ patiently waiting in the tub. You have to say that you're impressed that she's kept to her word. Smiling you remove her collar and leash so they won't get wet. Still being cautious, you tie each of her legs to the legs of the tub before taking off her leg restraints. You turn the nob to start the shower with warm but not hot water. AJ seems to visibly relax as the water begins to wash over her.

To reward her for her obedience you massage her a bit as you wash her. "See how nice being a good girl feels?" you ask her. Without thinking she nods and you hear a muffled "Mmhhmm". The bath went by without incident and soon AJ was clean as a whistle. You turned off the water and dried her off, you reattached her leg restraints, collar, and leash. She went right back to her cage without incident too. "What a good girl you've been today" you tell her, "Keep this up and things wont be so bad". You put her back in her cage and head downstairs, lunch is still a few hours away so you had time to kill. Again you got to work catching up on your reading list, not much else to do here anyways.

Hours pass and it's finally time for lunch. You fix yourself a sandwich and then go to prepare AJ's lunch. Since she's behaving herself you even mixed a spoonful of honey into the paste this time. You eat then go to deliver the food to your pet. When you enter the room you say "Hey, it's lunch time! Since you were being such a good girl today I've even added honey to your food". She lights up a bit at that, once again you undo the gag and set the food in her cage. Just as with before she followed the rules you set, and ate in perfect silence. After she was done you re fastened the gag. But before you left you decided to ask her a question. "So before I go do you have to go potty?" she looked embarrassed by the question but eventually nodded. "OK I'll take you outside potty then".

She seemed a bit humiliated by the fact that you took her outside again. But this time she didn’t fight it, instead she tried to find a spot where no one but you could possibly see her. She finished as quickly as she could and you led her back inside. You give her a few scratches behind the ear and tell her she's a good girl. After you stop scratching her ear she looks away, a red tint coming to her face. You could tell she enjoyed the ear scritches more than she wanted to let on. You smiled a bit at that and left her be, at this stage giving her time to adjust was important. You've already made a lot of progress today. You finally finish up the last book on your list and add it to the pile you would return later. For now though, it was dinner time, you eat and then get some food ready for AJ.

You even get a little something special ready for her. As you enter the room she seems to be eyeing the plate in your other hand. Again you go through your feeding time ritual with her. When she's done eating she even opens wide for the gag. With her eyes closed she doesn’t see what your about to put into her mouth. She's pleasantly surprised to find that it's a bite of famous apple family pie. "Just for being a good girl all day" you tell her, normally she's used to having a whole slice of this pie after every dinner, so even just that one little bite is enough to make her melt. "So are you going to be a good girl tomorrow too?" you ask. She hesitates for a couple seconds before bowing her head and nodding.

It's been a few months since that day, everything started going much more smoothly after that. AJ stopped fighting you and eventually accepted her new status. After which she realized how much happier she was this way. You took over operating the apple farm, which with your innovations was running better than it had in history. AJ's friends were surprised to see her change in demeanor but never really looked into it. Even when asked about you taking over the farm she answered that she preferred it that way. Now things were better between you than they had been since you moved in together. You no longer fought or argued, and even your sex life has been steadily improving. It's amazing what you can get AJ to agree to now. Tomorrow you think you might even fool around in public.

-End.
