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?

[She sighs softly, trying again.]

I may be... gettin' feelings for Fluttershy.

[Rarity stares at Applejack for a moment, allowing a moment or two for her words to process in her head.]

[Action] 2/4

… Feelngs? [She looks ahead for a moment, a couple of emotions—mostly surprise crossing and then leaving her expression within the span of a few seconds.]

[Action] 3/4

[She’s pretty sure that she knows what kind of feelings, but… What? This was so… so sudden. They had never shown any signs of being... err… having feelings for each other back at home. Heck, as far as she knew, everypony in their group preferred colts to fillies.

Or so she thought. This was so odd. So… so… stange.

She isn’t even sure how to feel about that. How to react? She feels her teeth grinding and that alerts her that she needs to respond to Applejack. ]

[Action] Done! OTL

[She swallows a lump in her throat and puts on the most convincing smile she can muster; it works surprisingly well.]

Ahaha… What kind of… feelings? [Just to clarify.]

[Action]

[Oh Rarity, you're killing her. Don't make her say it again...]

Y-y'know... r-r-romantic feelin's....

[Action]

[art-of-fabulous.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. [Insert nervous laughter here.] Just... clarifying.

Well... uhm. this certainly is... uh--sudden. Ahah. And I assume that you haven't told her yet?

[AJ quickly picks up on the awkward tension drawing up between the two, and she sighs.]

No, I haven't. I've been tryin' to avoid these feelin's like a bad batch of apples. But I just can't get away from 'em...

[Action]

[Even though she's not even sure how Fluttershy will react to this...]

Why don't you talk to her about it? You can't always shake off certain feelings... Sometimes--or rather most of the time, the only way to face them is to confront them head on.

[Action]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

D'you... think so, Rarity?

[Action]

[art-of-fabulous.livejournal.com]

[Rarity nods her head.]

Yes, Applejack. I do.

[Action]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' you don't think it's weird...?

[Because that's what she's really scared of...]

[Action]

[art-of-fabulous.livejournal.com]

Well, I...

[Sigh.]

... I think that I am more surprised than anything. But that doesn't mean that it's weird.

[Even though it is... a little bit.]

You really should tell her though. We're all friends here, Applejack. Everypony will understand. Even if it isn't... right away.

[Yeah. Rarity really doesn't understand. But she's trying!]

[Action]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

Thanks, Rarity. I will.

...I just hope Fluttershy'll forgive me for how I've been treatin' her...

[Action]

[art-of-fabulous.livejournal.com]

[Rarity places her hand on Applejack's shoulder]

She will, darling. You just have to muster up the courage to talk to her. This is Fluttershy after all... She is very forgiving.

[She releases Applejack and then turns to walk back toward the rest of the group.]
