THE APPLE OF MY EYE
CHAPTER 1
The orange earth pony couldn't help but admire the young dragon, he did everything Rarity asked, even though he didn't have a chance with her. Applejack cringed, Rarity just didn't seem to see Spike's affection towards her, either that or she ignores it, Applejack theorised. The Orange farm mare led the white unicorn and the purple and green love struck dragon to her barn. "Here, ya'll continue to do what ya need to do raritay, I'll just be workin' " she shook her fringe of ratty blonde hair out of the way as she watched the two enter her barn. "I'm just surprised raritay would want to work in a barn, I mean darn tootin!" Applejack muttered as she trotted along the path to her apple orchard. " ah best be getting to work!" The mare smiled. "yeehaw!" She cried
, rearing up and took off down the hill to her beautiful apples. The earth pony galloped through her trees her strong back legs propelling her forward. Her smile shone in her eyes as she took in her work, her life her destiny all before her, in the Apple stopped as she got to a certain part of the trees, she tugged at a bucket from behind the tree she had left earlier and got to work. She crouched and then at the right moment, put all her weight on her front legs as her hind legs kicked with all her might onto the tree, a cascade of perfect blood red apples would collapse into the bucket and then she would move on to the next tree and the next, until the sun had started to lower and evening was drawing near. applejack whipped the sweat from her forehead and collected the buckets in a cart she was pulling. She then struggled to pull the cart up the hill, sure she was strong, but she was tired from a full days work, and that cart wasn't as light as a feather. At the top she straightened her signature hat and pulled the cart inside of the barn, she would unload it later. Her eyes got used to the dim light of the barn and she saw Rarity
Assign bundles of notes and sketches to Spike, the young dragon would grab them all and would struggle to make sure they didn't fall out of place. Applejack smiled "Let me help ya'll with some o dat Spike!" She nudged some of the papers onto her back "hey Applejack dearest, would you like to come to a sleepover with the girls, at twilights castle, she needs some people over there it's so big!" Rarity spoke in her big city accent. "Consider me pleased as punch!" Applejack smiled. "Unless it will be like last time!" The mare frowned her white freckles bunching up. The trio trotted outiside sweet apple acres and started the trip to twilights castle.
