"So what is it that you want, Applejack?" Rarity asked impatiently, desperately trying to keep out of the mud (which was darn near impossible, since it was raining).

"I... uh... I wanted to ask ya something..." I had been rehearsing this for the longest, and I think today would be a fine day. Well, it would've it didn't have to rain today. But I can't put this off anymore!

"Well, do hurry." Rarity said. "I simply can not stay in this rain any longer! I think my umbrella has a hole in it!"

"There's no hole in yer umbrella," I said, rolling my eyes at Rarity. I couldn't help but give a small smile.

"Yes there is! See, right there!" she said, shoving the purple and yellow thing in my face. I couldn't see anything.

"I don't see anything!"

"That's because you have to look closer!" she pushed it even more in my face. The rain has already ruined her mane, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as she proves her point. "See? There's an itty bitty little hole right here!"

There's no hole in yer umbrella!" I yelled. She looked taken aback at my sudden outburst for a split second, then went back to being her Rarity-ish self.

"So, what is it you were going to ask me?" Rarity asked, cocking her head to the side a bit. Her eyes were big and wide and she looked like a cute little puppy.

I cleared my throat. "Well, what wouldja do if one of yer friends was a, uh, into other mares?" I bit my lip.

"Hm, well... that's a rather interesting question... Well I guess, uh... hm." Rarity pondered this a bit, furrowing her brow. "Is it anypony in particular? I bet it's Twilight."

"Um.. well-"

"Wait, no, Pinkie!" Rarity exclaimed. "Anypony who acts as clingy as she does around other mares would have to a lesbian, right?"

"Actually-"

"No, wait, I got it! It's Fluttershy!" Rarity looked so satisfied with herself. "It's always the quiet ones, you know. Unless that rule is for murderers... You don't think Fluttershy is a murderer, do you?"

"No, Rarity, listen!" I yelled, the second time in under an hour. I gulped. "...I have a huge head-over-hooves crush on you."

"Oh. You do, do you?" Rarity didn't seem to be taking this so well. I gave her a kinda hopeful look. She gave me a fake grin. "Oh, well, would you look at the time! I'm late for... uh... something! Ta-ta!"

She ran off so fast, leaving behind her umbrella. "Dammit AJ," I said to myself. "Way to go."
