Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Chief crowded around and did their best to comfort the upset Arby back at the Golden Oats Librairy back in Ponyville. Since Twilight was back in her home, she was no longer wearing her royal attire.

Never in his life has Arby cried so much before. He always tried to remain strong during emotional trials, but this one he could not tolerate. He and Applejack had something very special forming in between them both, and suddenly it was gone; just like that. He for the moment didn't know what he was going to do. He knew that Rainbow Dash was not going to let him anywhere near her cowpony friend who she know has made up with.

"its a11 g0ing 2 b k arbitur" Chief said patting Arby's shoulders.

"How? How is this going to be 'okay'? How is loosing a special somepony that you loved so much 'okay'?" Arby demanded.

"Why there's nothing okay about loosing a loved one at all!" Rarity said sticking her muzzle in the air with authority.

"I agree, it's horrible," Fluttershy meekly said.

"It's like throwing a party that none of your friends show up too," Pinkie added sadly.

"You should realize through that you weren't being completely honest with her," Twilight stated.

"I couldn't tell her that I was a living action figure from another dimension who wanted to die and did. She wouldn't believe such a fable. I'd be lying either way."

"Oh yeah, you're right," Twilight cringed with embarrassment.

"But why does it matter anymore? She hates me and that's the way it's going to stay! SOB SOB SOB SOB"

Fluttershy gave Arby a tight hug.

"There there, don't cry," she said in a soft and comforting voice. "You shouldn't say such a thing like that. All you have to do is find a way to make it up to her...if you want to I mean."

She still realized she was still hugging Arby and retreated with a blush and an embarrassed 'sqee'.

Arby thought for a moment.

"I want to make it up to her, but I don't know how. Rainbow Dash won't let me get in the same area as Applejack."

"Don't worry, we'll come with you to help get clearance to Applejack," Twilight said. All nodded in agreement.

"But of course, she's as stubborn as an ox. You have to really mean what you say to her. You need to spill out what comes from the bottom of your heart," Rarity advised.

"I've managed to make her show emotions toward others."

"That was for her benefit. When it's for both of your benefits, it's way more difficult," Twilight explained.

"I can handle it."

"dis g0nna b g00d :D"

Arby and the others trotted over to Sweet apple Acres. Everypony who was currently working in the fields or around the farm scowled at Arby and Chief with such disdain. Not a good sign. It meant that the news has been spread through out the entire farm. This was going to be harder then they thought.

They spotted Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh working together to collect apples from an apple tree. Sure it would seem awkward to talk to the siblings, but it was their only chance.

Apple Bloom and Big Mac continued on with their task even through Arby and the others were close enough to be easily spotted. Arby and Chief stepped forward.

"Um, excuse me you two. We're looking for your sister," Arby said nervously.

"She doesn't want ta talk to y'all. Neither does Rainbow Dash. Leave!" Apple Bloom said sternly.

"Me and Chief wish to make amends with them both. We are truly deeply regretting what we have done. Has she at least wanted us to make an apology?"

"Nope," Big Mac said.

"She's really that mad?"

"Eeyup,"

"Oh. But please; we can't feel better until we have been given the chance to at least try. I'm not asking for her back. I just want to say I'm sorry, then I'll leave her alone"

Apple Bloom and Big Mac glanced at them, to eachother, sighed, then reverted their gaze back to Arby and Chief.

"Fine, Rainbow Dash and Applejack went to the west field," Apple Bloom said annoyed.

"Thank you, Apple Bloom."

Apple Bloom said nothing and got back to work with her brother.

When the gang reached the west fields, they spotted  Applejack and Rainbow Dash working on an apple tree about twenty feet away. It was nice to see them as friends again, but now both of them viewed Arby and Chief as enemies.

Arby and Chief requested that the others stay where they were. This was their problem, and they were going to solve it by themselves.

Arby and Chief only managed to get ten feet before they were stopped by Rainbow Dash.

"Stop right there! You two are not going any farther than this!" she snorted.

"Please Rainbow Dash. I know what trouble we caused you and Applejack. We're here to say how truly sorry we are. More likely Chief should apologize for misguiding you." Arby turned to Chief. "Right?"

"yes. i n0se u's and m3 r having a str0ng cunf1ecks rite na0, butt that's my fau1t 4 giving u fa1s3 fax. teh tru fax is that i did ask app13jack 4 secks n teh m0st rud3 man0r. i d3s3rv3d 2 get my a$$ 1ick3d 4 it. app13jack was telling u teh tru fax, i wasn't @n im srry for the mel0n i caus3d n y0ur fri3nship"

"It's 'felon' Chief," Arby corrected.

"rite. srry k thx bai"

RD took a moment to think things over, then said, "I'm glad you came clean with me Chief, but I don't know if I can trust you anymore. I mean you made me and Applejack have the worst fight in our lives."

"i n0. im n0t 3xp3cting fu11 r3c0v3rs, jst w0ntit 2 b mr clean"

Dash giggled. "At least I still like your humor."

"So are we cool enough to speak to Applejack? I wish to speak to her alone through. It's the only way she knows I'm being sincere."

"Sure," RD replied with a smile. "Just let me talk to her first so she knows what's going on okay?"

"Okay,"

Arby and Chief watched as RD flew back over to AJ, exchanged words in a silent conversation, then AJ gave a nod to RD who to flew back to them.

"Okay she's listening, but make it good and quick. She has a lot of work to do," RD said to Arby.

Arby agreed and began to trot toward Applejack while RD and Chief headed back toward the others.

Applejack was looking at Arby with an expectant and indifferent look on her face. She wanted to hear a pretty great and convincing apology from her 'ex-boyfriend'. Arby was slightly intimidated, but he knew there was no backing out of this. He wanted to set things right with the beautiful country mare. If they couldn't be in an intimate relationship, that was fine, but he still wanted to be friends with her again.

"Applejack," Arby began.

"Arbiter," she retorted.

He was saddened that she was calling him by his former name, but didn't let it get to him.

"I know what if done to you is completely unforgivable and you have every right to be mad at me."

"Of course Ah do. Ya betrayed ma trust with yer lies."

"If I told you the truth about me and Chief, you would've thought that was a lie to; and that you would be afraid of us because of the dark incidents we have been involved with which we always seemed to got caught up in."

"Still it would have been better if ya just told me the truth. It's better ta take risks then avoid 'em."

"You're right Applejack. It's better to face the consequences of the truth then avoid them. You have probably just taught me a lesson in friendship that I can report back to Princess Celestia and i greatly appreciate that. Anyway the main point is that I'm sorry for committing a powerful sin that destroyed our growing relationship. I'm not asking that we hook up again, but I want to be your friend. Nothing intimate, just a normal friendship like you have with your marefriends. I do want to say through that I really loved you Applejack and I'll never forget the special bond we had even through it was quick. I just hope you can find room in your heart to forgive me. Farewell, Applejack."

Arby swore he could see her lower lip trembling and tears forming in her lower eyelids, but quickly turned and began to slowly trot away.

He only made it fifteen steps before he heard Applejack call him. She sounded really close. "Arby wait!"

He turned toward the direction of her call, but was surprised when she tackled him to the ground and placed him on his back with her on top. Arby blushed red.

"Ah love ya too sugarcube!" Applejack said with an emotionally broken voice. Large rivers of tears poured from her eyes. "Ah don't want to be normal friends! Ah want to be with ya fer the rest of ma life! Yer kind, gentle, an' sweet. The kind of a stallion who suits me just fine!"

She then gave him a huge passionate wet kiss on his lips. He was surprised at first but then quickly returned the passion by caressing her back with one hoof and using the other to stroke her mane. He didn't mind that some of her tears got in his mouth either. He was also careful not to cut her lip with his sharp teeth.

Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy got emotional too, not as much as Pinkie who was crying wails of joy. Tears spurting from her eyes like a hose.

RD and Chief were trying their best to keep their cool.

"ugh sik"

"You never kissed anypony before?" RD asked curious.

"xc3pt arbiturs mom"

RD laughed.

"Time for somepony who actually exists."

With that she grabbed Chief, pulled off his helmet with one hoof, then passionately kissed his handsome indescribable face before putting his helmet back on before anypony could see. Chief was motionless, paralyzed.

"How was that?" RD asked smugly.

"dklv,dlflsldkfmjdlkf;mlefd"

"I'll take that as a 'I love it!'" RD laughed.

When the excitement died down. They all decided to head back to Ponyville. It was time for a party!
