“Applejack, how could you!?” Twilight half-sobbed, half-screamed in the town square. “You KNEW that I liked him!”

Applejack merely shrugged, entirely unconcerned by her friend’s distraught behavior. “Ah dunno, he was attractive. Ah wanted to make out.”

“More importantly, why in Equestria did you blow the whistle on your little rendezvous?” Rarity pressed Applejack. “I’m all for secret romances, but come on darling.”

...Or, because you actually like Applejack?

...Crap, I guess I have to write her next…
