What Am I?

Chapter 17 ~ Lies

Rarity's POV :

"I love you." These were the 3 words I woke up to. With AJ saying them of course.

I opened my eyes to see Applejack in front of me, stroking the top of my head. When she saw my eyes flicker open, she panicked moving her hands away from me.

"What did you say?" I asked, yawning sitting up.

She blushed a dark red. "Nothin'."

I pretended I didn't hear what she said. "What time is it?"

She took a deep breath and reached to see on her phone. "It just turned 8 AM."

I looked around, we had fallen asleep in Applejack's living room. There were two couches, Applejack had fallen asleep on the other couch.

"How long have you been up?" I asked.

"Um, ah've been up since 6."

"Oh. What have you been doing since then?"

"Ah made you breakfast."

I didn't realize it before, but when she mentioned breakfast, I noticed how hungry I was.

"Yay, I'm hungry," I cheered. I stood up and wiped off whatever dirt I may have gotten on my dress.

Applejack stared at me. I looked at her. "What did you make?"

"I made you pancakes," she said.

I looked into the kitchen, and she blocked my view. She didn't make any food at all.

Instead of asking her to tell me the truth, I decided to play along. Applejack was obviously nervous, and she needed to know that I didn't like that. I mean, it was adorable that she was nervous. But I wanted her to be honest to me.

Isn't that what she's supposed to be? Honest? Why was she suddenly freaking out now?

"Adorable," I whispered to myself.

"What'd you say?"

I'm her first love, that's why. Now that I try to recall it, she's never been in a relationship. Of course she's going to panic.

"I said 'sexy'."

I didn't think it was possible, but she somehow blushed even more. "Ah'll get you your breakfast."

"I'll wash up." I wanted to give Applejack as much time so she felt that she impressed me. "Is it okay if I use your shower?"

She looked relieved. "Yeah, of course Sugarcube."

"Thank you." Since I've been here many times before, I knew exactly where the shower was located. I grabbed my backpack on my way there. Since I always prepared for these type of situations, I always had towels in my backpack.

I opened my backpack in the middle of the hallway making sure everything I needed was in its correct position. It wasn't.

Applejack's POV :

I didn't have anything prepared. This day was already a wreck. I never lied, but when it came to Rares, I was out of control.

"Applejack!" I heard Rarity's voice from the hallway.

"Yes?!"

"I have seemed to misplace my towel somewhere. Can I use yours?"

I felt my face turn red, yet again. "Yeah of course."

"Thank you!"

I heard walk into one of the bathrooms, shut the door. Then the shower turned on.

I sighed. I bought myself extra time, so I got right to making those pancakes.

--

"These are really good," Rarity commented, taking her third bite of her pancake. Rarity was a slow eater, I already finished my plate and was full.

I didn't mind though.

"Hey AJ, can I ask you something?" Rarity looked at me with this glow in her eyes.

"Of course Sugarcube."

"Why are you lying to me?"

I paused. A surge of panic went through me. She made the word lying such a dull word. She knew I was lying about the breakfast. Of course she does.

"Ah'm sorry," I said looking at my feet.

Instead of Rarity being mad like I expected her to be, she laughed. "Just please, never do that again. It's weird seeing you dishonest."

I was a bad liar. I couldn't help it.

"Sorry."

"I like you Applejack, but you gotta be honest to me." My heart raced when she told me she liked me.

I nodded in understanding. Be honest to Rarity. Seemed easy enough.

The rest of the meal was silent, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

While I was cleaning up the dishes for Rarity, I thought of something.

What about Rainbow? Aren't I supposed to like her?

I looked at Rarity, who was cleaning up the living room. Then I thought about Dash.

I laughed at myself. "Fuck her," I mumbled quietly to myself as I finished washing the last dish.
