005 Bushels ❦ [Voice/Action for the ponies]

[buckyouup]

[Things are going well on the travel to Goldenrod, and AJ is leading the pack. Like, way in front. She's a little fidgety and keeps looking behind her, at the others, before quickly snapping her head back to look straight before someone can catch her eye. Eventually though, when she thinks she's far enough ahead, she'll take out her journal.]

H-hey, y'all.

If... y'all think you might be... sweet on somepony... what d'you do about it?

[There's a long pause as AJ deals with the super intense blush on her face.]

Y-yeah. It's a her...

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

_{[Okay, Heather can't help it. She laughs. Not meanly-- just... laughs. Heather's reaction to a lot of things is to laugh.]}

Awh, no need to get all nervous! I was just... surprised, s'all.

Do I know her?

[Voice]

[AJ isn't sure how to respond to the laughing, part of it calms her, part of it makes her more nervous.]

I-I reckon so. She's... one a' my best friends.

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

Best friends?

_{[Sob, Heather unfortunately doesn't really know the hierarchy of ponies... she just sort of knows their names for the most part. Applejack and Rainbow Dash had been the only ones she'd ever talked to on a regular basis before they both disappeared for the first time... Which is why her first guess is...]}

... Dash?

[Voice]

[She blinks a few times, before snorting. Alright, Heather, you got a chuckle out of an awkward pony, congrats.]

R-Rainbow Dash? That gal couldn't win a footrace, let alone my heart.

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather's pretty good at getting people to chuckle, intentionally or not!]}

Okay, okay, touche!

Uhh... the one with the purple hair? Whatsername... Rarity?

[Voice]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Rarity! [Oh man. Now she's laughing.]

Rarity's more likely t'shave herself bald than look twice at a gal like me!

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

_{[Good! Laughing is better than stammering and nervousness.]}

All right, now to be FAIR, I don't know you guys that well... you'n Dash were the only ones I ever really talked to on a regular basis last time...

Uhhhh... lessee...

_{[Three strikes and you're out, Heather. Better make this guess count.]}

[Voice]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Do we really gotta play this guessin' game?

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

Naaaahhh, but it's fun!

_{[Still, she sort of chuckles and relents.]}

But it's okay. I don't need to know.

So... anyway... if it's really bugging ya this much... Maybe you ought to tell her? Or at least... I don't know. Drop a few questions to see if she'd be okay with the idea.

_{[She can understand why AJ's nervous, at least.]}

[Voice]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I'm just scared a' throwin' away my friendship over a lil' crush.

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

_{[Believe it or not, Heather's... sort of kind of in a similar situation? Not that she's going to mention that beyond this.]}

Yeah, I know-- that sort of thing can be really awkward.

But I mean, if you just let it keep bothering you, that's no good, right?

[Voice]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

You're right. I'm scared of hurtin' our friendship, but bottlin' this up isn't good for anypony.

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

Yeah. If it's seriously getting to you...

Worst she could do is say 'no', right?
