AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie's love story
Chapter 4: The Cutie Mark reveal
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter leaving Twilight's house they have already made it half way towards Sweet Apple Acres. During this time, Twilight has been showing AppleJackal what he can do in town. She tells him about Sugar Cube Corner, Carousel Boutique, restaurants and the town square as well. After she does, AppleJackal slows down a bit and starts to talk to Pinkie Pie.
AppleJackal: So Pinkie, you work at Sugar Cube Corner right?
Pinkie: Yep, and I always like to bake cakes in my spare time when I'm not working.
AppleJackal: Wow, that must be hard work.
Pinkie: Nah, it's really easy when you know what to do and what cake you want make.
AppleJackal: Haha, that was a nice rhyme. I'm definitely going to come to you if I want some cake.
Pinkie: Thanks and really?
AppleJackal: Of course. Cake is my favourite kind of food, besides cupcakes and other types of sweets.
Pinkie: (Gasps) Me too.
Pinkie then realises she can find out if her and AppleJackal have a lot in common and if her feelings for him are real.
Pinkie: Hey how about we play a game.
AppleJackal: What kind of game?
Pinkie: I ask you a question, then you give your answer, then you ask me a question, I tell you my answer and it continues like that. What do you say?
AppleJackal: Hmm, yeah that sounds fun and it will be a good way to learn about each other. (Thoughts) That and it will tell me if these feelings I have are real.
Pinkie: Okay ready?
AppleJackal: Yep.
Pinkie: (Big deep breath) What's your favourite type of cake?
AppleJackal: Chocolate, what's yours?
Pinkie: Chocolate, what are your favourite colours?
AppleJackal: Blue and Red, what are yours?
Pinkie: Red and Blue, what's your favourite fruit?
AppleJackal: Apples, what is your favourite fruit and vegetable?
Pinkie: Apples and carrots, what is your favourite vegetable?
AppleJackal: Carrots, what is the most important thing to you?
Pinkie: Friends, family and making everypony smile. What is most important to you?
AppleJackal: Friends, family and making everypony smile and happy.
Both of them look at each other intensely but then stop and laugh at each other after asking so many questions. Both realising how funny the situation is, after laughing both AppleJackal and Pinkie Pie look at each other with loving eyes. Both thinking that these feeling they have are real. But while they were thinking this, Rainbow Dash gets between them and starts talking to AppleJackal while Rarity and Twilight go to
Pinkie and smile at her.
Pinkie: What? WHAT?
The group are almost at the farm, and they are all silent until Rainbow Dash breaks it to ask a question that she remembered Pinkie Pie asking while they were a Twilight's house.
Rainbow Dash: Hey AppleJackal, what does your Cutie mark mean and how did you get it?
All of the girls looked at AppleJackal with interests, since they all want to know.
AppleJackal: Good question, I should of told you all earlier but I forgot.
Twilight: Well first of all, what does it mean?
AppleJackal: Well although it looks like a smiling Apple, the reason for it is because my I am able to adapt to almost any situation or job that I am given. The smile means that I am happy with doing anything because of how I can adapt to doing most jobs.
All of the girls: Wow.
AppleJackal: That and I like to make a joke or two and have everypony smile.
The ponies giggle for a bit before asking him their next question.
Fluttershy: So how did you get your Cutie Mark.
AppleJackal: It was weird really.
Rarity: Weird how exactly?
AppleJackal: Well I was just going to the town square of Manehattan to get a few things, then out of nowhere, Boom, a giant Rainbow blast happened and everypony was memorised by it, then because of it everypony was having trouble with their jobs, whether it was something broke, or late or needed to be finished. So because of this I decided to help everypony with their problems and after I helped out the last pony, I see my flank glow and there came my Cutie mark.
All of the ponies were very interested in the story and couldn't believe what they just heard.
Twilight: So what you're saying is, Rainbow Dash helped you get your Cutie mark as well?
AppleJackal: Wait it was Rainbow Dash that created that Rainbow blast?
Rainbow Dash: Well it was actually a Sonic Rainboom but yeah that was me.
AppleJackal: Well I don't know what to say but, thank you Dash for helping me find out what my special talent is.
Pinkie: Yeah it's quite the coincidence cause if it weren't for Rainbow Dash, none of us would of got our Cutie marks either.
AppleJack: I guess we owe a lot to you Rainbow.
Rainbow Dash: Nah, you don't have to. I'm just happy I was able to help everypony.
As Rainbow Dash said that, the group had reached their destination of Sweet Apple Aces and had stopped in front if the farm.
Twilight: Well I guess this is goodbye for now AppleJackal. Will we see you tomorrow?
AppleJackal: Of course I'll make sure to visit you all and know what you all do for a living and what you do in your spare time. Though I am going to be honest, I thought there was gonna be a welcoming party or something, since I heard Ponyville were amazing at doing that for new ponies.
Pinkie Pie's face then went from happy to really surprised
Pinkie: Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to set up anything, that's not like me to too. Don't you worry I am going to redeem myself and throe you a party right now.
As Pinkie was about to leave Applejack stops her by pulling her back.
Applejack: Sorry sugarcube, but there isn't any time for a party now.
Rarity: I hate to say this Pinkie darling, but it is getting late into the day and some ponies will be going to sleep soon.
Pinkie then looked down disappointed and not like her.
AppleJackal: It's okay Pinkie, you really don't have to go through the trouble of throwing a party.
Pinkie: But that 's the best way for me to make everypony smile. Cause my goal is to make sure that everypony smile, laughing and happy by the end of the day.
AppleJackal was taken back by this and his heart started to beat faster than it ever has before. He now knew that was in love with Pinkie Pie.
AppleJackal: Wow Pinkie, that's amazing and really thoughtful. I wish my parties wereas good as yours do.
Fluttershy: You've thrown parties?
AppleJackal: Only a few for my family and friends in Manehattan, but they will never be as amazing as Pinkie's parties. They sound like the best parties in Equestria.
This time Pinkie was taken back just like when AppleJackal said he had a similar goal as Pinkie earlier. And Pinkie now knew her feeling were real and that she was in love AppleJackal but was a bit confused of what these feeling for AppleJackal are. Then Pinkie came up with an idea where she can still throw a party.
Pinkie: I got it, how about we throw AppleJackal a 'Welcome to Ponyville' slumber party.
Twilight: A slumber party?
Pinkie: Yeah, we can still party but keep it quiet for other ponies.
Applejack: I like that idea, what about you AppleJackal. What do you think?
Twilight: It is your party after all.
AppleJackal: Hmm. Yeah I love the idea, let's do it.
Pinkie: Great, but where should we have it?
Twilight: Why not my house, I've got plenty of room and I I've further from Ponyville than you girls do, plus I can always have Spike sleep over somepony else's house.
Pinkie: Then it's settled 9 o'clock at Twilight's.
Rainbow Dash: Great, well we all better get ready.
Everypony leaves to go home and prepare for the party, as Pinkie becomes the last one to leave.
Pinkie: (A bit nervous) See ya at the party AppleJackal. I hope you have fun.
AppleJackal: If are throwing the party, I bet I will. I'll see you there.
Pinkie then bounces off to go home to get everything she needs.
Applejack: Well we've got plenty of time until the party starts, I'll introduce you to the family and show you where you'll be staying.
So Applejack introduces AppleJackal to Apple Bloom, Big Mac and Granny smith and they all seem really excited t him living with them and helping them around the farm. Applejack then takes AppleJackal to where he will be sleeping and leaves him to unpack his things and get settled in.
While AppleJackal unpacks he starts to think about Pinkie and lists off all the reasons why he loves her, so that he is sure he does. But it didn't take long for him to once again confirm that he was in love with the beautiful Pink pony.
Pinkie is also getting things ready to create the party but while she does, she starts to think about AppleJackal. And know that she has strong feelings for him but isn't too sure what to call it.
Pinkie: I should ask Twilight and the girls what these feelings I'm having. I hope it's something good. Cause these feelings feel good to me. Next Chapter: The Slumber Party Estimated time remaining: 41 Minutes
