A New Side of Me
The Accident
Blaze and AppleJack had spent all afternoon in that barn and Big Macintosh had come in at the end of it, saying it was taking far too long for them to clean up, and AppleJack started yelling at him again. Now, Blaze and AppleJack were bucking trees on the horses.
"You know, you shouldn't get so wound up when your brother says something, love."Love was Blaze's favorite nickname for AppleJack, and he used it quite often. He knew AppleJack liked it when he called her that too, because she smiled every time he did.
"Ah know, but he jus' loves to tell me what ta do, and Ah'm sick of it! Ah'm old enough ta know what's right and what isn't. Ah'm not a little filly anymore."She huffed angrily. He always found it adorable when she did that.
"I know you're not a filly anymore."He said with a smirk, and when she looked at him, he winked. This made her blush a lot. That was also very cute, because she mostly blushed where the freckles on her nose were. He couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. Her toned body kept it's feminism in her curves, which he craved very much, but he didn't want to rush into anything like last time. When she's ready, she's ready, but for now he had to respect that she didn't want to go into anything at the moment.
The pair had finished bucking, and decided to go take a break in AppleJack's room for peace and quiet.
Blaze was lying on her bed, propped up by one elbow, while AppleJack was putting some clothes away. When she finished, she joined him on the bed. She had pushed him onto his back and was on top of him. She sat on his legs and stretched forwards to kiss him gently. Her hands lay on his abs as she kissed him. He pushes her playfully goes on top of her, careful not to crush her. As she giggles, he leans down and kisses her softly, but fiercer than last time. Their tongues wrestle together for dominance. She places her hands on the sides of his face. He only resurfaces a while later when he hears Big Mac come in the house.
"Crap…" he mumbles. AppleJack had already brought her hands under his shirt, and had pulled them out quickly. She quickly fixes her hair, then turns to fix his. He grins and pulls her into a quick kiss, then let's go and go out the door first, so as to not raise any suspicion. As he passed Big Mac in the kitchen, he nodded towards him and walked out the door. He walks towards the pond which is a little farther up road.
I hope she comes too… he thinks wistfully.
Once arrived at the pond, he lays down on the grass, watching the clouds go by. After a while, he gets much immersed in a daydream of him and AppleJack together. Darker clouds start to go by, signaling a storm, but he doesn't notice. Only when it starts to rain does he realize the change in weather. He gets to leave, when he sees AppleJack turning the corner running, hands over her head.
"What tha hell are ya doin' here when I's raining?" she demands
"Waiting for you." He says with a smile on his face
At this comment, her eyes soften and she lowers her hands onto his shoulders and kisses him softly. Glad that she understood, he wraps his arms around her and holds her tight, not caring that they were get drenched. When they finally pulled apart, he takes one of her hands and guides her to the road.
Suddenly, light fills the sky as they pass under the last of the trees. They hear a deafening CRACK! When nothing happens, AppleJack starts laughing nervously. But she hadn't seen what Blaze did. He quickly pushed her out onto the road and backed up himself, but he wasn't quick enough to save himself. With a last glance at AppleJack, the tree hits, and everything goes black.
When he wakes up, he yells out in pain. The pain in his right leg and chest is agonizing. Please god; just kill me now… he thinks desperately. Then he hears a girl scream his name. AppleJack! How could he have forgotten her?
"AppleJack?" He yells, trying not to sound to hurt "AppleJack, are you ok?"
Please, please, please let her be ok… he can help thinking about the worst
"BLAZE! OH MY GOD! WHERE ARE YOU?" she was sobbing, he knew it by the way she was calling desperately "AH'M FINE, BUT PLEASE DON'T G-GO…"
"AppleJack, listen to me. Go to the house, find Big Mac. Just do it, please…" Whether it was because he was pleading, or because his voice was getting faint, he didn't know, but he heard her running down the road, and thought it was finally OK to close his eyes…
The next time he opened his eyes, he was in a room, with plain blue walls, and a TV on the ceiling. And another thing he felt, other than his diminished pain, was a small warm hand closed around his. He tried to look around to see who it was, but the sudden movement had made his aches hurt a thousand times more, making him grunt in pain.
"Shhhh, stop moving" the hand caressed his and he realized by her comforting voice that it was AppleJack "Ah'm right here sugarcube, now rest up… Ah'll look after you."
Just listening to her voice soothed him. But his head hurt terribly, and when he went to rub his forehead, instead of skin he felt a tightly bound bandage. He groaned, finally realizing he was in a hospital. He was hoping those fuzzy terrorizing moments he remembered were only a dream, but apparently not…
The door opened and a doctor came in.
"Oh good, you're awake. I'm doctor Prett, Mr. Blaze. You must be confused about the events during the time you were out, aren't you?" Blaze tried to nod, but stopped midway because of the pain. Seeing him grimace, the doctor continued "Yes, that will hurt for a while. I'm afraid to say that your right leg is broken, and so are a couple of your ribs. The bandage around your head is to stop you from bleeding to death. One of the branches of that tree that hit you had left quite a large gouge in your head." And with that, he checked a couple monitors that surrounded Blaze and left.
Blaze closed his eyes and sigh deeply. He then felt something different, something nice on his lips. He brought up an arm around AppleJack and gave her a hug. He could see her tear glazed face as he opened his eyes. He kissed her forehead and she gave a watery smile and sat back down.
A couple minutes later, Big Macintosh came in looking sorrier than ever.
"Blaze, Ah'm so sorry, Ah—"He started, but Blaze had silenced him by raising a hand.
"Don't sweat it, Big Mac. It wasn't your fault."
"Wait, hold on, Ah'm not done here! You saved mah sister's life!" He said, looking a little disturbed "How could Ah ever repay ya?"
"Just one thing "He said simply.
"What is it? Anything. "
"Forgive me "
"Ah beg your pardon? " Big Mac asked, looking confused
"Forgive me for what I did and let me be with her. I never meant to hurt your sister, and she's forgiven me. All I need is you to do it too." He made sure to put a bit of a pleading tone in his voice.
"I—but, wha—oh, alright…"he stammered, looking a little upset at himself
AppleJack looked radiant with that grin on her face. Blaze sighed in relief and closed his eyes. Finally, what was needed was done. He could actually sleep now.
