James woke up to the blinding light of the sun hitting his eyes. James always wondered how Twilight was able to get up so early in the mornings without an alarm clock and now he knew why. Twilight had her bed placed specifically in the way of the window that when the sun started to rise the light would shine through the window and bathe her face in light. As James tried to fight off the offending light so he could get some extra sleep Twilight began stirring next to him. She kept hitting him in the side trying to get him up so she could get up herself. James just wanted to be stubborn and stayed lying in bed. After several minutes of unsuccessful rousing on her part Twilight used her magic to levitate him out of bed. Once James was on the other side of the bed Twilight dropped him with a loud thud on the wooden floor. Twilight just giggled at him as he laid on the floor just not feeling up to getting up.

“Twilight can’t you for once sleep in like a normal pony?”

“No James I can’t and I already over slept trying to get you up.”

“All you had to do was ask and I would have gotten up.”

“I did ask you and you just laid there on the bed.”

“If you call hitting me in the side asking me then remind me to never ask you to hit something. I would feel sorry for the pony that would have to listen to another one of your lectures.” James got a gentle kick in the ribs for calling Twilight’s helpful advice lectures.

“James you need to head to your room so I can shower and get changed. I need to meet the girls for tea because Rarity wants to ask us something.”

“Come on Twilight I just saw you naked and you are still shy around me. I thought that you wouldn’t mind showing off your sexy flank to me.” James got up off the floor and started walking towards Twilight wanting to give her a hug and he could see the blush that was forming. When James was about to wrap his arms around her he felt his insides jerk around. When James was done dry heaving he saw that he was in his room and felt a little disappointed. James just sighed and decided to take his own shower and get clean. Once his shower was finished James grabbed an old t-shirt and jeans and headed out of the library. James was headed over to Sweet Appple Acres to help Applejack with one last apple harvest.

Out of all of her friends Applejack seemed to show the least amount of sexual interest in James. James thought that she didn’t like him and wanted to figure out why. During an apple harvest last month James asked Applejack how she truly felt about him. For several seconds there was nothing but silence as she tried to figure out the words to answer his question. Applejack decided to be blunt but it wasn’t hurtful to James as he could understand where she was coming from. She explained that she believed that ponies should be with other ponies and not with any other species. She was more than glad for her friends if they found love even with another species. Applejack was raised to believe this but she was never forced to live by it. Working at the farm James began to notice how Applejack would look up to the sky to find that she was watching The Wonderbolts practicing. She was paying close attention to a certain pegasus stallion. The one that she was interested in was Soarin and during James’ time hanging with the Wonderbolts was able to know the stallion.

James took it upon himself to get these two set up as he knew that Soarin had a thing for the orange farm pony after he had an apple pie from her at one time. As they finished working in the east orchard and called it a night James went to the nearest bar to meet Soarin who was as always having a good drink after practice. James joined Soarin in the stool next to him and ordered himself a good gin and tonic. James sat there in silence and waited to see how Soarin would react to him sitting there. Soarin then noticed the man sitting next to him and gave him the usual welcome that he did a good slap to the back. Even with being a pegasus he could hit pretty hard and after the slap on the back James spat up his drink. After his coughing fit James was able to speak to Soarin.

“So Soarin I heard from a little parasprite that you fly over Sweet Apple Acres during practice to try and impress some mare.”

“You’re just hearing silly old rumors there James. I fly over that area because it just a beautiful scene to fly over.” James could see that Soarin was acting a little nervous about the subject but knew with the right incentive he would crack.

“Really because I heard that it was home to a pony named Applejack that like to bake apple treats.”

“Is she the mare that cooked that delicious apple pie that I enjoyed so much?”

“I never said that she made any pies that you ate.” Soarin just realized his mistake in having this conversation with James. James was very good at getting a conversation to turn on somepony to show that they were hiding something. Soarin knew that his grave was dug and he wouldn’t be able to get out of it now.

“Okay James you caught me now. I may have been flying over the apple farm to get a few glimpses of the mare.” Soarin was now downing his drinks faster than he was before so he could give himself the liquid courage that he needed to get through this.

“Well if you like her so much then why don’t you drop in and say hi. I’m fairly certain that you two would hit it off.”

“I don’t know James I have practice and I don’t think Spitfire would like it if I took time off to hit on a mare.” James came too far for him to back out now and wasn’t leaving the bar until Soarin agreed to meet Applejack.

“Don’t worry Soarin I can handle this with Spitfire. Hey Spits, Soarin needs a couple days off so he can grow a pair and speak to a mare for once in his life!” James yelled across the bar to Spitfire who was with the other Wonderbolts just sharing a few laughs. Soarin was looking at James with astonishment and a little bit of anger that James just yelled this at his own boss.

“Thank Celestia that somepony is finally getting Soarin to get off his lazy flank. James you have as much time as you need to get Soarin through his funk. Once you have that problem solved we can finally get back to some real practice since he won’t have his head in the clouds and I mean this literally.” Everypony just laughed but Soarin seemed to join them in their laughter knowing that it was true.

“Just meet me at Sweet Apple Acres in the west field during your regular practice time. Make sure that you show up at least somewhat decent.” James gave Soarin a good shake and downed the rest of his drink and left the bar.

The morning came and James was with Applejack in the west field harvesting more apples. James kept watch in the sky waiting for Soarin to show up. Noon came and James and Applejack headed out for lunch. James was pulled behind a tree and was met eye to eye with Soarin. Soaring was dressed in casual clothing and apparently smelled nice meaning that he took a shower before showing up. James brought Soarin with him to the farmhouse and entered the building with Soarin waiting outside. After a slight conversation with Applejack and a few choice words James was able to convince Applejack to come outside. When Applejack opened the door she stood frozen staring at the pegasus stallion. Unknown to Soarin but James was only getting the two to meet each other. As the two ponies stared at each other James took this opportunity to leave. James later heard that things went pretty well between Applejack and Soarin but that was probably after Big Mac laid the ground rules down. James knew exactly what that meant, as he knew how over protective big brothers could be especially about their little sisters.

After the short memory James arrived at the farm and saw Applejack working on the few trees that still had apples left on them. James walked up to Applejack who smiled at him. James returned the friendly gesture and went to helping her. They were able to finish the job quickly since there really wasn’t much to do. Once they were done James and Applejack sat on the porch with warm cider and enjoying each other’s company. Once the conversation was done Applejack gave a hard punch on his arm making it completely dead.

“What the heck was that for AJ?”

“That was for the surprise set up that ya did a month ago and ah never did repay ya for it.”

“From what I heard it went very well between you two. Did it not go as well as most ponies thought?”

“Everything went just fine. Mainly after Mac gave Soarin the ground rules and threatened to beat him into the next apple harvest if he ever hurt me in anyway.” James and AJ couldn’t help but laugh at how scared Soarin was at meeting the burly stallion that was her brother. The laughter though was short lived as James’ phone went off. James saw that it was Pinkie calling him.

“Hey Pinks what do you need?”

“Hey James I was wondering if you could come down to Sugarcube Corner?”

“Sure Pinkie but I thought that all of the other girls were there having your little tea time?”

“We were but Rarity needs to ask you a favor.”

“She knows that she could have called me and asked herself right?”

“Of course she does silly but she wanted to do this face to face because of being polite or something along those lines.”

“Okay Pinkie I’ll be there in a few minutes just need to get cleaned up.”

“Hey AJ do you mind if I use your shower so I can get myself cleaned up before I head to Sugarcube Corner?”

“Go right ahead it’s the second door on your left up the stairs.” James entered the farmhouse and went upstairs to take a quick shower. James always brought extra clothes with him in case he ever needed to change or ended up having to shower there and he would have clean clothes to change into after the shower. James finished his shower quickly but thoroughly because he knew that he wouldn’t hear the end of it from Rarity if he smelled bad. Once finished James put his dirty clothes away and headed for Sugarcube Corner. James arrived and when he did he felt some regret. Sitting at the table Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Rarity were looking at him with bright smiles. James took the defensive hoping to avoid any sort of conflict that could be brought up.

“So Rarity you needed to talk to me about something?” James looked between the five mares trying to decide whether or not if he should run or listen to their request. James took the latter and listened to what the mare had to offer.

“Well darling there is this little fashion show going on at Trottingham later tonight and I was wondering if you would like to go? Twilight is busy with her studies, Pinkie wouldn’t be able to control herself, Rainbow doesn’t understand fine etiquette, and Fluttershy doesn’t want to leave her animals alone.”

“I don’t know Rarity. As much as I would like to go I don’t know if I would be a good traveling companion. I know next to nothing about fashion and wouldn’t be able to hold a conversation there with anypony that I meet there. Then there is also the fact that not many places know of my existence still.” After James was finished trying to politely decline the offer Rarity started to cry. James then realized what had just happened when he arrived. James was set up by her friends so he would end up going. They knew he wouldn’t be able to say no if she started crying and her friends were there to give him evil glares for making her cry. James hung his head in defeat as he was put in checkmate by his own friends.

“Please don’t cry anymore Rarity I’ll go with you to the fashion show.” After James agreed Rarity quickly returned to her lady like self and squealed with delight. James looked at the other four shaking his head and giving them a hard stare for what they did. They just smiled and acted like they didn’t do anything. James headed back to the library to get dressed in a better shirt and a pair of slacks Rarity made him. Night quickly approached and James walked to the train station in the t-shirt with Rarity’s cutie mark and a pair of black slacks. James was certain that nothing bad was going to happen at the show but decided to be safe than sorry and brought his knife. When James arrived at the station he had to quickly regain his balance after he saw Rarity in her dress. She wore a sparkling red dress that left her back bare and did little to cover her cleavage. There was a cut up her right leg that stopped at her mid thigh showing off the top of her stockings that she was wearing along with three inch high heels that were also sparkling red as her dress. Her mane was done up in a bun and her tail was brushed and curled in its usual fashion.

The train arrived and they both boarded and decided to go for the empty cart so they could sit together in silence. The ride was long especially since the two of them didn’t try to make any small talk or even a conversation to help pass the time. They were now in Trottingham and it looked, as though that none of the ponies cared that there was a new creature exiting the train. James just shrugged his shoulders as Rarity looped her arm around his and lead him to the fashion show. Once at the building they entered and were immediately greeted by many different ponies that obviously knew of Rarity’s work. Rarity seemed to be in her element as she gossiped with some of the ponies and she seemed to be enjoying their company.

James was just wandering around and looking at some of the clothing that was displayed around the building. As James walked around he noticed one case holding a very beautiful dress. James looked down at the little golden plaque that was at the bottom to see who created it. James was stunned to see that it was one of Rarity’s designs. James was proud that his friend was being showcased here and he was sure that if she saw it then she would be happy also. James wanted to show her this and started walking through the crowd to find the white marshmallow mare. As James was pushing through the crowd he heard Rarity screamed. James quickly moved through the crowd to find Rarity on the floor holding her cheek. There standing in front of her was the same stallion James dealt with before when he was with Vinyl. He was about to strike Rarity again until James stepped in and grabbed his wrist that was in mid swing.

“Who dares put their filthy-“ His words were quickly shut off as he saw the human that beat his lackeys those few days ago. Filthy could feel his heart begin to race because James was now looking him dead in the eyes daring him to try and finish his action. James was wanting a reason to give this stallion a good beat down and teach him a lesson. Filthy though was smart to just put his hand back to his side and just left without saying a word.

James helped Rarity off of the ground and they left for the hotel that they were staying at for the night. During the walk it was starting to get a little chilly and James pulled off his hoodie and wrapped it around Rarity so she wouldn’t get cold. They arrived at the hotel and headed for their room. Once inside James sat Rarity on the couch as then he went to the mini kitchen to grab a few ice cubes for her cheek. He put them in the plastic bag that went with the ice bucket and held it to Rarity’s face.

“So Rarity want to tell me what happened back there?” James could still see that she was crying a little and wiped her tears away.

“He was an old client that used to order from me. He got mad during one of the commissions that I made him and he left. When we ran into each other he was wondering what a no talent hack like me was doing there. I tried to walk away but he grabbed my shoulder, turned me around and slapped me across the face.” As Rarity gave the explanation James lead her to the bedroom so she could lay down

“Well then I guess he doesn’t know fashion like you.” James pulled his phone out glad that he took a picture of Rarity’s dress. Rarity’s eyes filled with tears of joy that one of her designs were at the show. She hugged James tightly and he returned it happy that he could make her feel proud of herself. When they began separating from their hug and were looking at each other face to face Rarity leaned in for a kiss. James didn’t try to pull back but instead pulled her closer. When they parted they had a single strand of saliva still connecting them together and they were both naked. During their kiss Rarity used her magic to take their clothing off and have it folded neatly on the floor.

James brought Rarity back for a kiss as he used his left hand to stroke her horn and his right hand to finger her marehood. Rarity released little moans into his mouth from the pleasure that she was receiving. Rarity then came all over his hand as she reached her orgasm. When Rarity regained her thought she used her magic to line James’ shaft up with her marehood. James slowly entered her and was stopped by her hymen. He looked at her and Rarity just nodded her head and before he pushed all the way in James ran his tongue up her horn. As Rarity shivered from that pleasure James pierced her hymen and waited for her to adjust. Once she was comfortable James started at a slow pace that got faster. Rarity was moaning loudly as she just melted into the pleasure. James could feel his peak reach and so was Rarity’s.

“Rarity I’m going to cum.” Instead of Rarity saying anything she just wrapped her tail around his waist along with her legs so he wouldn’t pull out. James got the message loud and clear and gave two final thrusts and she came coating his member in her juices as he shot his seed deep inside of her. James fell down next to her and pulled the covers over them. Rarity pulled him into a hug and kissed him passionately as they both fell asleep in the bed together.

Author's Notes:

Well thats all eleven. Now comes the really fun part. I just want this to be known that I have absolutely nothing against Applejack. A relationship with her is something that I want in another story. Also this will be a good Hearth Warming Eve party next chapter.
