…Sorry, but I think the title is not very...

Yes?

I'm not sure... It's a little odd...

I like it!

Well, ok. Let’s go with that.
Uh, but… Pinkie, I’m not really sure about this… No, no, please be quiet and listen. This can’t end well, you know…

Oh, but it’ll be fun! Writing a fanfic sounds like a very good idea, Aragón! You really are smart!

Uh… thanks, I suppose. But, the thing is, why are you here?

Because I want to help you, of course!

No, no… I mean, how are you here?

What do you mean?

You’re a character from the show.

Uh-huh.

Aaand you’re in front of me. Talking to me.

Yes.

About writing a fanfic about your own show.

Exactly! Because it’ll be fun!

You know... You shouldn’t even exist here. This is the real world, I’m a fanfic author, you’re a pink pony who isn’t real…

But I thought that it would be fun, so I came here!

Yeah. And how did you do that? I mean, the fourth wall…

What’s the fourth wall?

The thing you just broke. In fact, I think that the fourth wall has been destroyed since the very beginning of this fanfic.

Oh.
Is that a bad thing?

…I’m not really sure. And being you, I think it’s pretty normal. But, how are you here? It’s not scientifically possible…

I just came here. I already told you.

…U-huh. Look, just… just let’s ignore the ‘breaking the reality’ thing for now, ok? You’re just being Pinkie Pie.

Of course I’m being Pinkie Pie, silly! You say a lot of weird things, you know?

And you’re the one telling me that? Bah.

Then, when do we start?

Right now, I suppose. There’s nothing more to do.

Ok! Wanna go first?

I’m the author, so yes. And I have a very good idea…

***

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and Applejack was bucking some apples in her farm. Sweat covered the little pony’s body, and the smell of…

Applejack is not a ‘little pony’. She is as tall as I am!

It’s just a joke. I know she isn’t small, but…

A joke? Uh, I love jokes! But I don’t think I get it.

Eh… well, the show is called ‘My Little Pony’.

Uh-huh.

And… eh… well, that’s all. I just said the show’s title. That’s the joke.

…

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

That’s a joke?

I… ok, I’m not very funny, I’m sorry. Just ignore it. Like I was saying…

Sweat covered the orange pony’s body…

Are you happy now?

Yes!

…and the smell of apples filled the air. Applejack kicked the apple tree one final time, and, after watching all the apples fall in the baskets she had put on the ground, she smiled and closed her eyes. ‘Well, that’s all for today,’ she said. ‘Now…’

‘My, my, my. Do my eyes deceive me or is Applejack smiling at something that isn’t me?’

The earth pony turned around, surprised by the voice that had surprised her…

You’ve said ‘surprised’ twice.

Uh, sorry. Eh…

…surprised by the voice that had sounded behind her. Then, she smiled again and blinked coquettishly. ‘Oh, Rainbow… glad to see you here…’

The blue pegasus laughed at the sight of Applejack smiling. Then, without saying a word, Rainbow Dash approached Applejack, closed her eyes and kissed her passionately…

Hey!

What? Did I misspell something?

That…! That…! What the hay are you writing?

Eh? A fanfic.

But. but that’s not true! Rainbow and Applejack don’t kiss each other! And they don’t act like this!

Well, it’s a fanfic, and I’m writing it, so I can do whatever I want.

Then they’re not Rainbow and Applejack! Why are they kissing?

Because I’m an AppleDash shipper, so they love each other!

Of course they love each other… but it’s not that kind of love!

Look, Pinkie, I’m the author. So, the fic is going to be a romantic fanfic. Just let me write and everything will be fine.

But…

No complaints. You’ve broken the status quo of reality, so you owe me one.

Why?

Eh… Let's continue with the fanfic!

But…!

Applejack and Rainbow kissed each other. It was a long kiss, and the earth pony felt like all her exhaustion had disappeared. In her heart there was only happiness.

‘Oh, Rainbow’ she said. ‘I love y… Hey! Don’t make me say things like that!’

Eh?!

‘And please, keep the kisses away.’ Rainbow frowned. ‘You know, I don’t like doing things like that, I’m not that kind of mare. No offense, AJ.’

‘None taken.’

No, no, wait. Why are you talking? And, most importantly, why aren’t you making out?

I’ve already told you! They don’t love each other like… kiss-love! They’re friends!

But it’s my fanfic, so…

‘And it’s my tongue, so please stop doing such things.’ Applejack rolled her eyes. ‘Or I’ll make you stop the hard way.’

Oh, great. I think I understand. You two are breaking the fourth wall too, right?

‘What’s the fourth wall?’ asked Rainbow.

Uh, I think you’re wrong, Aragón. You said before that I broke the wall at the beginning.

No, the fourth wall can be broken more than once, that’s not an error. But that’s not important.

‘It’s not important?’ Applejack spat covertly, trying to eliminate Rainbow Dash’s flavor from her mouth. ‘Well, thank Celestia. I don’t like breaking things when I don’t know what they are.’

No, the important thing is WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DISOBEYING MY ORDERS?!!!

‘And why should we obey you?’ Rainbow frowned again. ‘What are you? A god or something?’

YES!! BECAUSE I’M THE AUTHOR!!

You like repeating those words, right? Am I the author too?

‘Hey, why is Pinkie talking like that?’ asked then Applejack. ‘And where is she?’

I’m with Aragón! I can see you pretty well from here!

‘You’re with the guy who is writing this?’ The blue pegasus shook her head. ‘You’re pretty unlucky. Be careful, he could be dangerous. I mean, he forced me to kiss Applejack.’

Being insulted by a character whose lines I’m actually writing is not pleasant, you know.

Rainbow raised an eyebrow. ‘I don’t need to be nice to you.’

Oh, please, stop arguing. Aragón is not a bad pony, he’s just… a little weird. But I’m sure he won’t hurt me...

I like the show, so I’m not hurting anypony. By the way, I’m human, but that doesn’t matter…

‘Hey, Lyra would be happy to meet you then.’

‘AJ, why are you talking like that?’ asked Rainbow. ‘You know, you're using fancy words and all that stuff.’

Eh… sorry about that, I just don’t know how to write Applejack’s accent.

Hey! you’re not a pony?

‘I’m talking without an accent?’

Eh...

'Wow. You're writing a fanfic and you don't know how to make AJ talk? You're not very smart, are you?'

Don't be such a meanie, Rainbow! I'm sure it's not his fault!

Girls...

'Well, I don't see the difference, I suppose I can't hear myself very well.’
.
Girls! please, could you stop, please? You know, I’m trying to write a fanfic, so if you don’t mind…

You’ve said ‘please’ twice.

Oh. Eh... thanks. Like I was saying: Could you…?

‘Only if you don’t make us kiss again,’ replied the blue pegasus. ‘That would be gross’.

‘I agree with Rainbow.’

But this is a shipping fanfic! And I’m an AppleDash shipper!

'Yeah, but we don't like that. So, stop.'

Yes, kissing-stories are not very good when the characters are my friends.

But the plot was good...

'The plot?'

You know, the story. Basically, you and Rainbow kiss each other until... you do something more... private.

Private?

Eh... adult things.

...

'...'

'...'

‘AJ, I’m outta here. I don’t like this guy.’

‘Me neither.’ Applejack shook her head and looked to Rainbow. ‘Let’s go. See you later, Pinkie.’

‘Yeah, see you later.’

Goodbye, girls!

Hey! HEY! You can’t leave me alone! I’M THE AUTHOR!! TURN BACK!!!

They’re gone.

…

Aragón?

…

Are you okay?

You know? I think I have a theory about what’s going on here. You broke the reality, so now the characters of the fanfic are alive.

Of course they’re alive! They’re my friends!

…Yeah. Well, I don’t mind if Applejack and Rainbow Dash leave. I’m not giving up. I’ll write a fanfic, or I’ll die trying!

That’s the spirit!

Yeah!

…

…

So… what are we gonna do now?

We’re going to Twilight’s house! If I can’t write a shipping fic, then I’ll write an adventure fic!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
