A New Side of Me

Old love doesn't go away easily...

Oh sweet Luna, what tha hell is he doin' here? AppleJack thought frantically, walking Blaze to the barn Doesn't he know Ah nearly died las' time he left meh? Maybe Ah shouldn't have told him he could come by… Damn you, weak heart.

As AppleJack shot a glance at Blaze, all she saw was beauty. His blood red hair, the jet black clothes, and his golden eyes. Perfection in every way she looked at it. She only realized she was staring when he looked at her and asked "AppleJack, you OK?"

"huh? Wha- Yea, o' course sugarcube, why wouldn't Ah be?"she managed to stammer as she was snapped back to the present.

"Well, would you stop daydreaming and open that door you've been in front of for five minutes?" he inquired playfully

"Yea, sure" she replied, blushing fiercely as she opened the door.

As they went inside the house, they saw Ganny Smith sleeping in her rocking chair. AppleJack herd Blaze chuckle, and brought him to the small living room.

"Sit right here, and Ah'll go get Big Mac." She said, motioning him to one of the couches. She waited until he looked confortable to get Big Mac, who seemed to be working in the Orchard. But right as she was about to go out to find him, he walk through the front door.

"H-hey, Big Mac." She stammered

"Hey, AppleJack."He replied, "Ah'm on mah way ta pickup Applebloom from—what the hell are you doing in mah house?"

Blaze cringed for a moment, then sat up straight and said "I've come looking for a job, and AppleJack thought we might run it be you…"

"Looking—Looking for a job? Here, on tha farm? You better get your ass out o' here as fast as you can, 'cuz Ah'm gonna whoop it." He yelled agrily, waking Granny Smith up

"huh- Wha?" she asked, quite confused by the number of people in the house.

"I's nothin' Granny, go back to sleep." Big Mac growled, as Granny fell back to sleep instantly

"Big Mac! How could you say such things? Ah expected you ta welcome him better than this. Wha' happened in tha past, stays in tha past. We have ta concentrate on now. Ya even said we could use some more hands around here, so why not Blaze?" AppleJack demanded

"But—AppleJack, this boy hurt ya bad! I couldn't let suffer more…" he spluttered heatedly, but Blaze knew that Big Mac had said the wrong thing, as AppleJack's eye brows traveld quite a deal higher than the norm. Big Mac must have noticed too, because he soon added "AppleJack, Ah'm sorry—"The rest of his words were drowned out

"Let me? LET ME? SINCE WHEN DID AH NEED YOUR PERMISSION TA DO SUMTHIN? AH CANNOT BELIEVE YOU BIG MACINTOSH!" she screamed at the top of her voice, once again waking Granny up, but no one took notice. She turned to me and said in a a calmer voice, which was taking all her energy to maintain "Blaze, you got the job. Now go clean the horse stalls." Blaze seemed to have taken the hint, and dashed out of the house.

"AppleJack, please—"Big Mac started

"No, this is over. Blaze has the job whether ya like it or not. Now, Ah'm gunna go and help mah assistant before Ah punch your face in." And with that, she stormed out of the house, leaving Big Mac stunned in the living room.

"Hey, you OK?" Blaze asked, concern gleaming in his eyes.

"Ah'm *grunt* fine" she said, while taking the wheel burrow full of soiled hay out of the barn, sweat coming off in beads from her head, while Blaze shoveled it into a pile. "Jus' gotta work it off…"

"Here" he said, running to her side "Let me take that."

"Thank-you Blaze, but Ah think Ah'll manage." She said, managing a smile

But as she look around at him, their eyes met, and AppleJack felt herself melting in his gaze. She soon dropped the handles of the wheel burrow. She felt his built arms snake around her waist to support her.

Oh for Luna's sake, not again! She thought desperately, but made no effort to pull away. She had her hands on his chest. "You know" he murmured softly "I've missed being with you." And with that he bent his head down to her face, and gently placed his lips on hers. It was the best thing she had ever experienced. She had totally forgotten how great a kisser he was. She glided her arms up his chest and around his neck, closing her eyes, and enjoying every moment of it. IT was like kissing a cloud, their tongues seem to caress each other as he was doing to her. Whether their kiss last for seconds or minutes, it seemed like hours for AppleJack, and she wasn't complaining. When their lips broke apart, Blaze's traveled down her neck, kissing every inch of her available. She moaned softly, but not too much for Blaze not to hear.

He is so amazing… she thought, her eyes still closed

Blaze kept kissing her neck and nibbling it, soon giving her a hicky.

"Blaze…" she said softly, stroking his hair

Tha moment she said his name, his head came level to hers "What is it, love?" he crooned

"Big Mac, wha' will we do?" she asked desperately, gazing deep into those gorgeous eyes.

"We won't tell him, that's all." He said with a smirk, planting a kiss on her nose.

AppleJack nodded and pulled his face closer kissing him not too fiercly as to ruin the mood, but enough for him to understand her love for him. They stayed there for many hours, kissing and talking, catching up on what the had missed.

"I love you." He whispered in her ear, kissing it at the same time.

"So do Ah, sugarcube" she whispered back, in honeyed tones, running her fingers softly through his hair.
