005 Bushels ❦ [Voice/Action for the ponies]

[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?

Well, how about asking them?

_{[It's not too bad, really.]}

...It can't really be that easy, can it?

[tapestodiane]

In surprisingly many cases, yes. I can make no guarantees as to how it might turn out but it's a good place to start.

But... what'll the rest of the gals think? Nevermind, what she'll think!

With a little luck, she'll think it's something you should run with.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Not run away, I hope.

Well, Applejack, there's no way you can know for sure. What you do in this situation is entirely up to you. You can play it safe or take a leap of faith - an option I'm personally rooting for - but my best piece of advice here is to trust your intuition. It often has an uncanny way of being right, especially in matters like these.

...Dangit, Coop. It's hard t'argue with you when you're bein' so right all the time. But how do I tell her? I can't just trot up there an' blurt it out!

_{[Oh, AJ, if you could only see the wide smile he's giving nothing in particular right now.]}

Why not?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know... Maybe I'm a little... scared.

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

I can't say I blame you. Love can be nothing short of terrifying.

[audio]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Speaking from experience, I reckon?

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

Yes.

_{[Softly, but no details for you.]}

[She nods respectfully. She's not going to push the subject.]

I'll... figure out somethin'.

[tapestodiane]

_{[Atta girl - it would probably just make her sad anyway. She can't see it but he's giving her a small smile and his tone is encouraging and kind when he speaks.]}

Let me know how it plays out.
