Applejack was bucking harder than usuall. "Phew! Look at all these apples, I might even brake Granny's record before you Big Mac."

"Nope." he spoke going faster.

"Sounds like a sore loser." She said before going back to bucking apples. ".......what the? Why am I getting so tired? I know I sweat so much, but I don't burn out this fast..." Applejack said before she fainted!

"Applejack? Applejack!" Big Mac stopped bucking and trotted over to his sister.

Later...

Applejack found herself in her bedroom. "Huh? What happened? Last ah remember was feeling unusually tired..."

Then the door opened.

"Applejack?" Asked a familiar dragon.

"Spike? What are you doin here?"

"Well, we were all told you just burnt out and fainted and sadly, the girls had to do something important, so they wanted me to give you their get well soon presents."

Spike reached back and brought in the presents. The presents were carried in a little red wagon that Applebloom would hook up to Scootaloo's scooter.

"Well, Ah'll be, it's good to know they care...wait, how come I only see 4 presents?"

"Well, since you need to be warm throughout the night. Twilight thought I should warm you with my belly while you sleep." He explained.

AJ blushed hearing that. "Well, don't worry Spike, I was just tired, I can get back to work."

Then Big Mac, Apple Bloom, Winona and Granny Smith all stormed into her room!

"Applejack, the doctor said you've been working too much!" Said Granny.

"Yeah, you need to take a vacation!" Apple Bloom added.

"Come-on Apples, I've taken a few breaks! I've taken days off as well."

"Yeah, but for the past 4 months you've been taking no breaks trying to break my record!"

"Nothin wrong with that." AJ defended.

"Applejack! Your friends miss you! Me especially!" Spike replied.

"Ah'll be fine."

As Applejack got out of bed, her family held her down.

"No! Stay in bed!" They shouted!

"Come-on AJ, just forget Granny's record." Said Spike.

"Ah'll be fine." As Applejack got out of bed, her family held her down.

"No! Stay in bed!" They shouted!

"Come-on AJ, just forget Granny's record." Said Spike.

"No!"

Later...Applejack was tied up.

"Don't worry AJ, I'll hang out with you."

Spike sat beside her with said mare groaning. "Look, umm...aha! Look, we can see what's on TV." Spike grabbed the remote. "Alrighty...hey look, Be Cool Scooby Doo is on!"

"I heard that if you can get past the Family Guy art style, this'll be a pretty entertaining cartoon, felt like watching it with AB...but I was just so busy."

"Doin what?"

"...Practicing on my year long attempt to break Granny's record?" She then blushed.

Spike and Applejack then laughed at the part when Fred said he wasn't afraid of heights, but was afraid of widths!

"Wow Spike, taking a break sure feels good."

"See? Oh hey, let's open Pinkie's get well soon gift." And of course, Pinkie's gift was food, which they ate while watching the show.

"Not bad cupcakes."

"Probably Pinkie's tears of worry."

"They were really worried weren't they?"

"Big time, you're an important friend to us AJ, even me!"

"Ah didn't know."

Spike then gave AJ a hug. "Applejack, this was like that time you did everything by yourself with no help all over again."

"I remember." she sighed.

"Our friends are all busy, but don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Thanks Spike." smiled Applejack.

"Also, at times I hate to admit it, but, sometimes you look prettier than Rarity."

Meanwhile...

"Ow! Did somepony say a tomboy is prettier than me?"

"Probably." spoke Pinkie popping out of nowhere.

Now back to Spike and Applejack. Applejack blushed at what Spike had just said.

"Aw shucks. You're just sayin that."

"No really, you have shown how beautiful the inner and outer you can be."

Applejack blushed brighter which Spike took notice of.

"Wow, you're as red as an apple right now."

"I'm just so flattered by your words Spike."

"Well, it's my honest opinion. I mean you are all about that right?"

"True."

The show ended and Spike turned off the TV. "Sorry I can't untie you AJ."

"It's alright, I understand."

The 2 spent the day in her bedroom together until night came...Spike and AJ then went to bed together. Applejack then felt her ropes go loose. Applejack then freed herself.

"Yes, now I can..." Then she saw the other 3 unopened presents. "Hmm, might as well take a look see."

Fluttershy's present was a stuffed animal with a get well card attached to it.

Rainbow's was a work out kit so she can get back in shape once she's all better.

But Rarity's gift...a beautifully fabulous dress for her dear friend. Applejack put on the dress and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Well wadda you know? I do look more beautiful then Rarity."

That's when Spike woke-up. "Mmm, Applejack?" he groaned rubbing his eyes Spike then turned on the bed side lamp to find Applejack in the dress. "The rope came loose?"

"Yup."

"And you opened the other gifts?"

"Yup."

"So I'm not dreaming of the most beautiful mare is right in front of me?"

"Y-yup."

"And she's gonna kiss me right now?"

"Yup, wait what?"

"Too late!" Spike pounced on Applejack and kissed her on the lips!

AJ blushed brighter than before as Spike pulled back.

"Why you little sneak, come here!" Said Applejack as she held Spike down.

"Sorry!"

"Sorry aint worth nothing right now! You call that a kiss? I'll show you a kiss!" She said before kissing him with passion. "Beat that!"

"Oh, I will!" This time Spike grabbed her and dipped her before pressing his lips against hers.

"Ooh, you sure know how to sweep a mare off her hooves. Been practicing for Rarity?"

"Nah, I was watching Twilight practice for...."

"For who?"

"Dunno actually."

"Well, anyways..." Applejack then lifted Spike into the air with her front hooves and then..."Here comes the plane coming in for a landing!" She said as she kissed him back.

"Oh yeah?" Spike this time held her up like they were dancing and threw her up before she came down and landed lips first on Spike. Spike then fell on his back with Applejack on top of his body.

"Okay, that was a mistake." Spike said.

"No doubt, and look, there's a tear in my dress."

Meanwhile...

"Eek!"

"What's wrong Rarity?" Asked the stallion sleeping next to her in bed.

"I just felt a disturbance...and I don't know where it came from!"

Back with the farm mare and dragon, this time they were just kissing each other, trying to pour in passion with each one. Eventually they pulled back with flushed faces.

"Golly Spike...who knew your lip scales are smooth and firm."

Spike then scratched the back of his head. "Well, I like how your lips taste like apples."

"Apple family, remember?" joked AJ.

"Heh...yeah..."

Meanwhile in the living room.

"You think the doc was right?" Asked Applebloom.

"Well, he aint wrong about AJ being the only one in the 6 who haven't found a guy." Granny Smith replied.

"Eeyup, and of course I want my best buddy Spike to be the one to cure Applejack of her lovesickness." Big Mac replied.

"What do we do now?" asked Applebloom.

"We just wait...the doc did say to tell Applejack a fake date when she could work again." Replied Big Mac.

"Maybe we could tell her she can work in 3 weeks, that should be enough time for her." Said Granny Smith.

"Ah'll go tell her." spoke AB.

"Not now youngun'. I have a feeling they might be going at it by now." Said Granny Smith.

"Eeyup, tell your sis tomorrow."

Then back to bedroom, Applejack was hugging Spike and he was returning the embrace.

"Ah'll call this a tie." smiled AJ.

"Right...*Yawn*" Spike then fell asleep in her hooves.

"Heh...guess we better get back to bed. Sometimes I forget you're a baby dragon...hopefully I wont be called a pedophile once I get outta here."

Applejack then got into bed with Spike. Cuddling the little guy like a teddy bear. And those of you who care about history. The Teddy Bear was created after a hunting trip when someone saw President Theodore Roosevelt spare the lives of some bears.

"Uh...what are you doing Trahzo?" Asked Spikerulez302.

"Sorry I think I had too much sugar, but that's a true fact I just put down."

"Well great job I was hoping to end it there with her cuddling Spike in bed."

"Well too baddy daddy! Hahaha..."

Then as the 2 friends argued Applejack gave Spike a goodnight kiss.

"See yah in the morning loverboy." She said as she then drifted off to sleep.
