Greetings fellow Ponys.
It was early Summer and the Days got warmer by the Day.
I was sitting on the Veranda of the Apple Family Home and watched Applejack, Apple Bloom and other helper at the Harvest of the Zap Apples.
For a long time it was every Year a Day full of Stress and hard Work to get the Harvest of every Appletree done until the Day end, but since Applejack had fused with Filthy Rich’s Company, she had enough Help to do the Job fast enough and much more relaxing.
You maybe wonder why Filthy’s Daughter Diamond Tiara hasn’t taken over the Store, but she was Major of Ponyville at the Moment, so she had no Time for it.
The Apple Family was always a good Business Partner for the Rich Family and it was better to give them the Shop, as to lose it to Somepony who maybe have no Experience in the Business.
So Sweet Apple Acres and Barnyard Bargains fused together into Sweet Apple Acres Goods, but the Shop, as one of the historical Buildings from the Founding of Ponyville, it was keeping its Name “Barnyard Bargains”.
A creak of the wooden Veranda brought me back from my thinking into the real World.
I saw how Big Mac aproached me.
“Ya need som’thing, Princess?” he asked me with a gentle Smile.
Since I have move here until my shack was repaired, Mac was always here for me.
It was unusual for me to have Somepony help me with varous Tasks, usual I do everything myself.
But it was nice to have some Help.
My Animal Sanctuary was in the good Hands of Dr. Fauna, so my Body had the Time to heal and allow my Fur and Hair to grow back.
He made me feel safe and was here for me whenever I need him.
We have grow close over the past Months and I’m not sure why, but he made me blush every Time I see him.
He was my strong Arm when my Legs was weak and usual we not need to talk much to understand each other.
“Thank you, Mac. I’m fine.” I replied with a smile, “And please, call me Fluttershy. You not have to use my Title.”.
“Eeyup.” he just said and sat next to me on the Bench and we watched the other.
It is not easy to see on his red Body, but did I see him blush? How Cute.^^
Applejack had buck the last Tree and all Apple Trees has been emptied.
This Year The Apple Family would set a new Record in Quantity and Speed for the Zap Apple Harvest.
The Barn was full with Buckets of the famous rainbow colored Apples, the Apples who started with a few Zap Apples, found by Grany Smith good 100 Years ago.
Still no one know where they came from and why they apear and vanish in just 4 Days every Year, but without them Ponyville would maybe not exist.
We sat there for Minutes and I guess for other it would look like two School Teenager on a Bench, who like each other, but are to shy to talk.
The Sky started to get an more pink and red Color and I was happy to be alive to see it.
I don’t want to think at the Posibility of a World without the Princess of Kindness.
Luckily Big Mac stood up and prevented me to go to deep in my Thoughts of bad Scenarios, because they surely would ruin this wonderfull Evening.
Big Mac took a few deep Breaths before turning to face me.
“Ya know, I’m not a Stallion of many Words.” he told me after some Minutes and I had to giggle, “But I have to say I realy enjoy it, that you are here with us on the Farm.”
I looked curious at him as he continued: “In the Past my Day here was always the same, I worked on the Fields with Applejack, to give Ponyville fresh Vegetables and Fruits.
But then there was this Incident with this Creature who had controled you and in the End you was hurt badly.”
“Applejack and the other Girls feared they would loose you.” he told be with an facial Expression I couldn’t interpret, “It was the first Time after we lost our Parents, that I had see her cry.”
“I have promised her to help her, to help you.” he continued, while he grabed something from his Pocket and watched on it.
I could not see what it was, because it was hidden in his Hand, but I could feel it was something very important for him.
“I never thought I would say this to Somepony, but I realy like you and this has get stronger since you are here.”
His Words are so nice and lovely and I could feel how I was blushing under his gentle Eyes, while my Heartbeat was going faster.
“This is very long in our Family.” he say with a smile, “First Granny Smith, then my Mother. It was to long alone, just like myself.”
“Well, like I already said, you are special for me, gentle like a Mother, beautyfull like a Flower and the most kind Pony I know.”
I could feel my heavy beating Heart and my heavy Blushing as he told me his Feelings.
“I would do everything I can to made you happy” Mac said and kneeled in Front of me and I could see a small heart shaped Box in this Hand.
He open it and extended his Arm towards me, so I could see a beautyfull Ring with an sparkling Diamond on it.
I could not breath as he asked “Allow us to get even closer to each other, so … would you marry me?”
My Eyes start to water but then I heard say myself “Yes, I do.”
This Evening the Sky over Equatria was more beautyfull as usual, with Colors in pink, yellow, orange and red and the Birds was singing the most beautyfull Song ever heard, as two Ponys hugged each other and shared the sweetest and most passionate Kiss.
From this Day on, two once lonely Ponys will not longer have to be alone anymore.
Queen Cadances Love again was sucessfull by bringing two Hearts together, but after all it is Hearts and Hoof Day.
So be so kind and give your special Pony all the Love she or he deserve and you will be loved back.
I wish every Pony, Human and other Creatures an Happy Hearts and Hoof Day.
Hope you like this Picture of Mac and me.
Sorry for the low Quality, but the Artist has dropped me with this Comission, because (s)he told me it is to much for her/his Skills as Artist.
The actual Picture I have mod a bit, added Pupils on myself, colored the tears in blue and removed a Bleeding on the Door Window of the sadly unfinished Apple House.
I could not add any Shading, because I’m not realy good in it, but it was supposed to have a romantic Atmosphere in the Scene, to show the Feelings of a nice romantic Sunset.
I hope to get an Remake some Day to give you the Scene in the Quality I had in mind.
To give you an Idea how it was planed to be, here is The Scene I have made, together with the WIP of the Artist:
https://u.smutty.horse/mfrheirpkon.jpg
I’m not an Artist and Mac & Myself are much to small in that Scene, but it give an Idea how the final Image could have look like.
If you want to can try to made this Artwork Reality.
For that, here are the Singles of
Big Mac and
Myself, as I have get it from the Artist.
Have a nice Day and I see you at the next Upload ;-)
