“Applejack!” Rarity called forward to the other girl, who was already several feet ahead of her. “Can we please slow down?”
Applejack rolled her eyes a little, but slowed her pace. “Ya know, you really shouldn’ta worn high heels when you knew you were comin’ to visit my family’s farm.”
“Yes, but,” Rarity walked forward gingerly, “I thought we were going to be in the house. Not in a field. You could have warned me.”
“I told ya I wanted you to have some of the apples that just got ripe.” Applejack walked forward a bit, then waited.
“Well,” Rarity continued walking forward with all of the grace of a baby horse, “I thought they would have been picked already. And I wanted to look nice for your family.”
Applejack looked down at herself. She was wearing dirty overalls and a shirt that she’d owned since the sixth grade. Rarity, on the other hand, was wearing a nice dress and shiny silver heels. “You really didn’t have to dress up,” Applejack pushed the point one more time before relenting, “but I’ll admit it. You look nice.”
Rarity smiled, her cheeks flushing. She quickly looked away from Applejack, towards where the trees were. Applejack could see her brow furrowing from how much further they had to walk. Quickly, before Rarity could say anything about it, Applejack strode behind her and scooped her up in her arms bridal style.
“Applejack!” Rarity yelped, thrashing around. “Put me down!”
“I’m carryin’ you.” Applejack said, smirking at her. “And I don’t wanna hear no complainin’. If I didn’t do this, we’d probably never make it.” Ah shoot, Rarity also looked so cute now that she was pouting. It was fun seeing her all flustered.
Rarity humphed, but gave in. “Very well.” Applejack could see that she had a little smile on her face though. She always liked being treated like a princess
The two continued on to the apple trees, with Applejack’s arms only protesting a little. It was worth it, though. They had delicious apples, and no one got a twisted ankle. And besides, a little pain was worth it when Rarity was just so gosh darn cute.
