- >"Are you sure you don't want to go with your family for thanksgiving, i'd be okay with that you know." says Norman.
- No sugarcube, i want to stay with you for thanksgiving. It'll be our very first thanksgiving together.
- >"I guess. I just don't want your family thinking you're ditching them."
- Norman, i've already told them, they understand. Besides, aren't you always ditching your fami-
- >"That's different though, you've seen my family. You know the shit they do. They are NOT coming to my thanksgiving."
- >You giggle.
- I know.
- >"So have you invited the girls yet?"
- Yeah, they'll all make it.
- >"Did you tell Twilight to not make anything? You know the way she cooks."
- >...
- >"Applejack, come on."
- Norman she looked so happy, how could i turn her down?
- >"How could you forget her food she made us eat for lunch. That was the first time in my life i've ever really lost my appetite."
- Well...
- >"AJ, you puked your brains out. I'm not letting you go through that again."
- Thanks for the concern, but i think i'll just dodge her food this time.
- >"I guess... but what about Pinkie, did you tell her to only bring a limited amount of pastries?"
- Uhhhhhhh-
- >"AJ for the love of- okay, okay, how about fluttershy bringing animals into the house?"
- I told her not to bring... that many...
- >You see Norman hold his face in his hands.
- >"You're way to nice."
- I'd like to think it's an endearing trait.
- >Noman lifts his head up with a semi smile.
- >"Come're you." he says grabbing you around the waist.
- >You can't help but giggle a bit as he dips you and starts kissing you along the neck, going towards your mouth.
- >It's really cheesy, but Norman knows i like it when he's cheesy.
- >The kiss ends and you both get to work setting up the table and living room for your guests.
- >It's simple enough to do since the apartment is so clean.
- >You have to count your blessings knowing your boyfriend isn't a slob.
- >The last couple of things on your to do list finally come to an end when you are finished relocating everything.
- >Norman huffs and sits on the couch.
- Oh, don't go slouching about right now, they could be here any minute!
- >"All the better to be resting right now, don't you think?"
- >Oh god he's right.
- >You flop right next to him.
- >He puts his arm around you and you both let out a deep sigh.
- >"This is gonna be a long thanksgiving dinner, i can tell."
- You said it.
- >*DONG DING*
- Who, where?
- >You answer the door to see everyone.
- >Just... everyone.
- Uuuuuuhhhhh-
- >"Carpooled. We ready to eat yet?" asks Rainbow Dash barging in.
- Well we got the table all set up so yeah, i guess we can start eating, bu-
- >"Yeah yeah yeah, shut up, i'm starving, bring out the food already!" she says taking a chair.
- >You and Norman look at each other.
- >"HEYAH EVERYBODY!" screams Pinkie coming in with a tub full of pastries.
- Oh, i'm so glad you only brought that many.
- >"What? Oh no, this isn't all of it. Twilight's bringing in the rest."
- >You and Norman turn to the door to see a struggling Twilight buried beneath 10 stacks of tupperware containers filled to the brim with sweets.
- GOD DAMNIT PINKIE!
- >"What? You told me to bring a limited amount, so i only brought enough for all of us."
- Pinkie, each tub has enough to fill us all for a week.
- >"I JUST told you i brought enough for all of us." she says shrugging.
- >Fucking... whatever, it's better to not ask.
- >You help Twilight up while Norman picks up all the heavy tubs of pastries.
- >"Thanks Applejack. I thought i was a goner." she says laughing nervously.
- >You continue to get everyone inside the apartment.
- >"Where's the coat rack?" asks Rarity wearing ten coats.
- We don't have one, just drape them over one of the chairs.
- >"DON'T HAVE A COAT RACK? WELL I NEVER!"
- >"Rarity come on, just fling them onto the couch and get your fat butt in a chair, i'm starving here!" says Rainbow Dash.
- >"I will do no such thing Rainbow Dash, this is made of-"
- >"I don't give a crap, sit down right now, or i'm gonna be the one to toss it!"
- >Rarity then tries her best to set the coat down as smoothly as she can.
- >After all the hassle of getting everyone seated and plated, thanksgiving is at hand for real.
- >"So Applejack, have you di-"
- Pinkie, not at the god damn dinner table. PLEASE.
- >Pinkie does a motion of locking her lips and throwing them away.
- >Good.
- >"Wow, this turkey is great. Glad i was starving so i could have third's of it." says Rainbow.
- >"I guess it WAS a good idea to put jam on the turkey." says Norman bumping you.
- You cooked the bird Norman, don't go trying to pin the worship on me.
- >Rarity gasps.
- >"Oh my Norman, YOU cooked this? This is positively delectable, scrumptious, DELICIOUS!" she says.
- >"I-it's not that big of a de-"
- >"No Norman, it is. I'm so glad to know we have a refined gentleman AND a cook in our midst."
- >Is... is Rarity trying to flirt with Norman?
- >She wouldn't do that, right?
- >"Well, honestly, i got the recipe out of a book soooo..."
- >"Just take a compliment dude. This turk is breddy good." says Rainbow stuffing her mouth.
- >"I can't eat another bite... s-sorry Applejack." says Fluttershy putting her fork and knife on her plate.
- It seems like you cleaned your plate right to me Shy, no sorry needed.
- >She smiles a bit.
- >"So Norman, graduation is soon. What do you have planned?" asks Twilight.
- >"Oh, well me and Applejack were actually thinking about going on a little adventure threw California."
- Well, we're still thinking about it actually.
- >"W-we are?" asks Norman.
- >You look at him.
- >"Oh... um.. yeah, we are."
- >You don't wanna keep him on a leash or anything, but you did tell him that you haven't decided yet.
- >You still don't know how well your family are doing at the farm.
- >"Well, that sounds interesting at least." says Twilight.
- Yeah, it really does.
- >Let's pray we can do it.
- -------
- >It's been an hour since everyone left.
- >You and Norman have been cleaning up the "after thanksgiving dinner party" that Pinkie threw.
- >Norman's been acting a bit finicky for awhile.
- Sugarcube, why do you keep looking at the door?
- >"I uh... i... um..."
- Norman, you can tell me anything, what's up?
- >"I... i invited Su-"
- *DONG DING*
- >Norman looks at you, then to the door.
- >He walks over to it and opens it.
- >Who you see on the other side shocks you.
- SUNSET?
- >She turns her head to the side.
- >"Now Applejack, i know this may seem weird to you but-"
- VERY weird.
- >"Applejack."
- You invited HER?
- >"Th-this was a bad idea. I'm sorry for bothering you Norman." says Sunset as she starts to leave.
- >"Sunset wait. Come inside." he says taking her arm.
- >She looks to him, and then you.
- >She hesitantly comes inside and you look to Norman for an answer.
- >"I know this seems weird to you but-"
- Norman, you do realize who this is right? This is the girl who made the whole school into zombies.
- >"Appleja-"
- She's the one who forced me and my friends away from each other.
- >"App-"
- She's the one who started the rumor that you're a raci-
- >"ENOUGH."
- >...
- >Norman has never yelled at you before.
- >"I know all that. But this is Thanksgiving. I invited her here because she needed to be here." he says putting a hand on her shoulder.
- >You don't know what to say.
- >"Go ahead and tell her Sunset."
- >Sunset looks up to you.
- >"I... i know that all the things i have done were wrong and that i may never be able to take them back. I'm sorry for all i've done though. I'm sorry i can't make things right. I'm sorry that i'm only able to say sorry. I'm-"
- Where is all this coming from?
- >"I... i..."
- >"Applejack, she has no family here. I asked her about it all a couple of days ago. I invited her here."
- >Sunset doesn't have family here?
- >Not even adoptive parents?
- >You don't exactly know what to feel about all of this.
- >"I invited her here so she could have family Applejack."
- So then... why didn't she come when all the others where here?
- >"Do you really think a group mentality of what you just thought awhile ago would have been a good idea?"
- >...
- Not at all.
- >God...
- Sunset, i'm sorry for popping off like that. Can you forgive me?
- >"I only hope you can forgive ME." she says looking away.
- Of course.
- >You give her a great big bear hug.
- >"Now, me and Applejack already ate, but we wouldn't mind giving you company while you eat."
- Yeah. Besides, it'll give us time to talk.
- >"Thank you both very much." she says.
- >"No problem, the food's still scattered all along the counter. Fix yourself a plate, nuke it up in the microwave, and come sit down with us on the couch." says Norman.
- >She nods and heads off into the kitchen.
- >You hug Norman from behind.
- Your such a good soul.
- >"Well... it's thanksgiving..."
- >After Sunset gets herself some food, she meets you on the couch.
- >"You didn't make all of this by yourselves did you?" she asks.
- Oh no. Everyone brought something. All we made were the turkey and mashed potatoes.
- >"They taste good." she says after swallowing her bite.
- Sunset... why didn't you tell us?
- >I was scared. After Twilight and you all beat me, you all said i could be apart of the group... but... i guess i was just scared."
- We all thought you just didn't want to change. Sunset, we would have given you the chance.
- >"I see that now... i feel so stupid."
- Now now. Enough of the depressing junk. Graduation's coming up, got any plans?
- >"Actually, i have a couple."
- A couple?
- >"You know... just so i can fall back onto something if the others don't work."
- Oh, okay. Like what?
- >"Well, i want to help, so id like a career as an advisor."
- Wow, sounds good to me.
- >"If that doesn't turn out the way i want it to, i know i can get into something a little more... hands on."
- >You and Norman clear your throats.
- >"Like working as the mayor."
- >You would have made a sigh of relief right now.
- >"Mayor huh? What made you think of that?" asks Norman.
- >"Well, i saw that the elections were coming up soon."
- >"Don't you have to be at least 25 to even run for that kind of thing?"
- >"Well, i found out that there is a LITTLE magic here in this world, and i know this age spell that would work just fine and-"
- >"Maybe starting as an advisor would be better for now."
- >"Really? Well that is my first option, so i guess you're right." she says with a bit of a smile.
- >You, Norman, and Sunset talk up a storm until the clock hits 9.
- >"Oh gosh, i didn't mean to stay for that long. I'm so sorry." she says.
- Sunset, it's just fine. Feel free to come over any time. I'm gonna tell the girls about all this too. You'll be hanging out with us in no time.
- >"Th-thank you." she says hugging you.
- >You never thought you'd be hugging her after all she had done, but you can tell that what she is feeling right now is honest to god guilt.
- >How could you not forgive her?
- >You and Norman walk her out and wave her goodbye.
- Thanksgiving...
- >"Yep. Now... onto other business." says Norman.
- What other busine-WOAH!
- >Norman picks you up suddenly.
- >He takes you to your room.
- >Oh gosh, are we really gonna...
- >Well you know what?
- >I'm ready.
- >He plants you on the bed and starts kissing you on the neck.
- >You don't care if it's gonna hurt, you're gonna get it over with, and Norman will be there for you.
- >You both begin to kiss and-
- *Riiiiiing*
- >You both look to see the phone.
- >You see Pinkies Number.
- Oh leave it, i already know what she's gonna ask. Come're sugarcube.
- >You pull Norman in for a kiss.
- >He begins to slide down slowly, unbuttoning your shirt on the way down.
- >He's really good at this so far.
- >He's to your pants now.
- >...
- >Wait, didn't Pinkie say something about her first time being awkward for BOTH sides?
- >...
- Norman stop.
- >He looks up.
- >"Applejack if you're not ready, it's oka-"
- I-it's not your fault.
- >He slumps down near you.
- Stupid Pinkie...
- >"I figured she had something to do with this."
- She always has something to do with everything.
- >"Is this about the diddle thing?"
- Yes...
- >"You know... i COULD help with that."
- Norman, i'm already too embarrassed to do that thing by myself. I'm not having you near... my special place... till i get it over with.
- >"I guess i understand..." he says sighing.
- >...
- We can still snuggle though.
- >He looks at you and grins devilishly.
- What's that look about?
- >He gets on his knees and wiggles his fingers creepily.
- Norman... no... don't you dare think of-
- >"I am Tickle-eto, lord of tickles. Welcome to DIE!"
- >Norman begins running her fingers all along your sides and neck.
- NORMAN NOHOHOHO, YOUHUHU NOW HOW TIHIHICKLISH I AAAAM! STOOOOOP!
- >"KNOW NOW WHY THEY CALL ME THE MASTER OF TICKLES. BEHOLD! LAUGH-NETIC BLAST."
- STOP MAKING REFERENCES WHILE YOU TICKLE ME!
- >"HAHAHAHA! YOU. ARE. DEFEATED!"
