It was a clear day around the farm of Sweet Apple Acres as Granny Smith and Big McIntosh were sitting next to a computer. Apparently, the two were looking over travel sites for hotels to stay in. Granny was confused on what to do, to be exact. That's why Big Mac decided to help her out.

"Just click on the one you want." Big Mac pointed at the screen.

"But Big Mac, all of them darn travel sites seem the same!" Granny exclaimed.

Suddenly, a strange pony came out of nowhere, wearing some kind of cruise ship captain get-up. He looked a bit svelte and the gold emblem on top of his captain's hat shone in both Granny Smith and Big Mac's eyes. This seemed to get their attention.

"I always use Hotels dot com." The captain insisted to them, "With their loyalty program, I get a free night for every 10 nights I collect. So they're not the same, because they're different."

Back at her computer, Granny Smith clicked to a site with the screen reading 'Earn rewards while you sleep'. She was excited to read about the description of the hotel they were looking at.

"Looky here, Big Mac!" Granny Smith pointed out, "This one has one of them king size bed thingies!"

"If you're traveling with your grandmother, I suggest getting twin beds." The captain suggested to them again.

Frankly, both Granny Smith and Big McIntosh looked at each other, and gave out quite a laugh. The captain didn't quite get what was funny.

"Oh, Captain Obvious." Granny chuckled, before turning to Big Mac. "Big Mac ain't my grandson! Aren't ya, Big Mac?"

"Eeyup!" Big Mac nodded, "Here comes daddy!"

In a shocking move, Big Mac took Granny Smith's hoof and started tickling and kissing up to her shoulder, which made the patriarch giggle with delight. Apparently, Captain Obvious was shocked to see this occur. What made it more shocking was the fact that a picture of Big Mac and Granny Smith in their wedding clothes was hanging across their shoulders.

Disturbed by what occurred right now, the Captain decided to end things here.

"I regret coming here..." Captain Obvious muttered to himself while walking out of the farm, leaving Granny Smith and Big Mac to enjoy their privacy. To think of all the sick things the Captain had seen in his life, this little encounter definitely topped the list.


I don't know what to even say about this little drabble. I mean, Granny Smith and Big Mac as a couple? That would be sick. And by 'sick', I mean having my innards throw up all over the floor. Anyway, I wonder what the rest of you think about GrannyMac? Feedbacks are welcome!
