Braxton and Applejack walked through town together, as they admired all of the rush around town for the wedding.
"Can't believe Rarity said yes," Applejack said, kicking the dust up from the ground, "I thought Rarity would have far better taste."
"Love is love, Applejack," Braxton replied, "We can't be mad at her. We've got to support her through all of this."
"I didn't want them to get married though!" Applejack replied, "It'll break Twilight's heart. I mean, I have you, Pinkie and Rainbow have eachother, Rarity will have Spike, but when Spike leaves Twilight to live in the boutique with Rarity, what will happen to Twi's number one assistant?"
"Love works in strange ways, Applejack," Braxton sighed, "It may not work out. Plus Twilight's a smart alicorn, she can manage herself."
"But she hasn't lived without Spike before," Applejack said, stubbornly, then turned to see Fluttershy and Big Macintosh walked side-by side, "Wait, Brax."
She scurried toward Fluttershy and yelled at her, "What in tarnation are you doing with my brother?"
"Um..." Fluttershy stuttered, nearly bursting into tears, "He was just walking me home." She broke into tears as she ran off.
"Flutter, come back!" Big Mac ran after Fluttershy, following her home.
He knocked on Fluttershy's door, "Flutters, come out here!"
She opened her door, eye red from crying, "Um... I'm here..."
"Hey look, my sister's being protective now," Big Mac sighed, "You're one of her best friends... I'm her big brother, it's awkward when he walks her home, don't ya think? I don't know what I would have done. Wanna come back to sweet Apple acres and let me teach you how to buck a tree?"
"It's fine," Fluttershy said, "And I really must not... Things will get messy with Applejack..."
"No," Big Mac said, pulling her by her mane, and preventing her from going inside of her house, "Because I won't let her. She's in town anyway."
Fluttershy sighed, "Okay, I'll come to the acres with you."
"That's what I want to hear," Big Mac let go of Fluttershy's mane, "Now let's go!" Him and Fluttershy walked back to the farm together.
"There's a lot of apples this year, Big MacIntosh!" Fluttershy looked at the field, "It's beautiful."
"You know, AJ told me a lot about you," Big Mac chuckled, "But I didn't picture you being this amazing. You can call me Big Mac."
"That's nice of you to say, Mackie," Fluttershy blushed, "So we gonna buck?"
"Big Mac," MacIntosh corrected, "Settle down Pegasus, we just met."
"Yeah," Fluttershy smiled, "Sorry Mack- I um... Mean Big Mac."
The two ponies ran toward the nearest tree, and were amazed at the size.
"A big one." Big Mac commented, admiring it.
"You can do it, Big Mac," Fluttershy pat him on the back, "I believe you can do it."
"I'm not sure," Big Mac replied, "That's huge!"
"Either you buck it, or I buck it." Fluttershy said, wearing Rainbow Dash's normal competitive face.
"You're full it, Fluttershy," Big Mac said, "This tree is too much work for the element of kindness."
"You think I can't do it?" Fluttershy said, more competitively.
"Nope," Big Mac bucked the tree, as hard as he could, causing all of them to fall down, "Not at all."
"So you could do it," Fluttershy giggled, "You liar."
"I'm not lyin'," Big Mac blushed, "I really thought I couldn't do it, say maybe I could see you buck a tree." He pointed to another tree, a bit smaller, "I believe you probably do have the inner strength somewhere."
"I don't... Um... Know," Fluttershy blushed, "You know I was kidding when I was acting egotistical, right?"
"C'mon," Big Mac nudged her toward the tree, "Try it!"
"Fine," Fluttershy said, walking toward another tree, and started to try, only to lose balance and fell flat on her face, "Ouch!"
"We have got to fix your balance," Big Mac laughed, helping Fluttershy up, "I mean, it's crucial. We can't act like this ain't a problem."
Author's Note: Hey guys, I know It's been a long time since I updated this story, but here's chapter 7, I decided I'd throw in a little bit of FlutterMac, just because this is how I'd picture their experiences together if they met in the show. Personally FlutterMac is my favorite Big Mac ship, and it beats Marble Mac in my eyes. Plus Fluttershy is closer to Big Mac's age anyway. But age is just a number, but either way I will be a FlutterMac shipper. Sorry MarbleMac lovers!
