>Be Anon
>Gayer than ever
>Things are still good between us, I've even gotten to know the rest of their clique better
>One day at school
>Applejack invites me over to her house
"Yeah, I guess I can manage to swing by. What do you wanna do?"
>"Probably just hang around with all of us, maybe you can help me out with my chores too"
"Is that your ulterior motive?"
>"Oh come on anon, you're a fiarly strong guy"
>See, told you I wasn't feminine
>"Oh, and don't bring any weed with you this time. My little sister and her friends are over today."
"Fine. Message recieved."
>Show up to her place
>"Howdy anon!"
>"H-Hi"
>etc
>etc
"Wassup girls?"
>I feel something latch onto my arm
>"You must be anonymous!"
>It's a someone with red hair and yellow skin.
>"That's just my little sister Applebloom" says Applejack
"Well, it's great to meet you Applebloom."
>"It's great to meet you too!" she responds with a massive smile on her face and the enthusiasm of someone who was just released from prison
>"Those are her friends Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle."
>"Hi anonymous!" they smile and wave
>I just shrug off Applebloom's behavior as some kind of passive interest. I had a little sister, I knew how girls were. Even at a young age, they were interested in dating and trying to be like everyone else. But it never resulted in everything.
>Applejack shows me to her living room
>We're watching TV, 5 of them are sitting on couches or chairs, me, Pinkie, and Applejack are on the floor.
>It's some show called Steven Universe
>Now I don't usually watch cartoons, but this was pretty good.
>Pinkie PIe was getting an absolute kick out of it.
>"Hahahahaha" she laughed qutie nasally, "That fat kid is so silly!"
>It was pretty entertaining.
>"Applejack!" Granny Smith called upstairs "Did you get yur chores din' yet?"
>"No granny! I'll start 'em now!" SHe turned to me and smiled. "Might need your help anon, you don't mind do you?"
"I guess I could"
---
>Now Applejack is pretty strong, and by that I mean she could probably outlift any guy at our school.
>Even flash sentry
>That was a joke, that kid is skinny
>Anyway, we had to feed the chickens, shovel the hay, and feed the pigs.
>In other words, I had to lift two 25 lb. bags of chicken feed, move these massive piles of hay with my own two arms, and carry huge tubs of liquid crap about a quarter of a mile.
>I was about to pass out
>Applejack, however, had barely broken a sweat.
"Man AJ.... how do you do it?"
>"Aww come on Anon, don't tell me you're tired already! I've been doing this kind of work since I was little!"
>I'm being emasculated by a farm girl
>Great
>I feel a tug on my shirt sleeve
>It was Applebloom
>"Hey Anon! I brought you and Applejack some lemonade!
"Oh thanks Applebloom."
>I took the glass
>Notbad/10
"This is pretty good!"
>"Th-thanks Anon". She blushes a little and looks off to the side. "You've been working really hard, you know, it must be pretty tough."
"Yeah it is. I really appreciate it."
>She hands Applejack her glass and dashes off somewhere back into the house
"You're sister is sweet"
>"I think she's taken quite a likin' to you Anon" Applejack smiles and says playfully
"Yeah, I suspected as much. It's swet isn't it. Pretty ironic too."
>"The irony isn't lost on me, believe me"
"Are we done yet?"
>"Almost. We just got harvest a few apples first. Follow me"
>We make our way down to the nearest orchard.
>And that's when I saw him
>Big Macintosh
>You remember when I said I was pretty masculine, well, for the most part anyway... this dude was like.... woah. That's all I could think.
>"Anon, this is Big Macintosh, Bic Mac, this is anon."
>He grips my hand
>Hard
>"Pleasure to meet you, Anon!"
"The pleasure is all mine"
>Geroge Takei: OH MY!
>How lewd.
---
>We proceed to harvest the apples.
>They go about it by swing sledgehammers afainst the trees to knock them down. My job is to pick them up off the ground.
>These two are just swing these things like twigs
>One hit and the apples fall to the ground
>Now the backet is getting heavier, at least 50 lbs. now.
>I'm struggling to carry it.
>But we're not even done yet.
>By the time we're done, it's like 125 lbs.
"Umm, Applejack... I don't think this basket is going anywhere...."
>Big Mac scoops up the other handle in his hands and nods at me.
>Between the two of us it's still pretty hard, well for me anyways, but at least now the basket is moving
>We load it onto the cart
>Applejack and Big Mac pull the cart back to the barn.
>I spend a good 3 minutes just staring at Big Mac, admirin' his.... physique
>I'm snapped awake by Applejack
>"Anon, are you alright?"
>It's all good, I know how to play things off, I've done it before
"Just really tired is all"
>"You look dazed, I think the heat is getting to you, let's get you inside"
>The living room is now empty
>I don't know where everyone else went but at this point I don't care.
>I just lay with my head propped against the back of the couch when I hear a familiar voice chime in.
>"Hey Anon!"
>It's Applebloom again
>"Is it okay if I call you Anon?"
"Yeah, that's fine"
>"Good, I didn't want to be rude or anything. I just wanted to see if you were doing alright. You've been working so hard. I saw you out of my bed room window, working your..... strong muscles." She said with a smirk.
"I'm not that strong, actually, your sister is much stronger than me."
>"Yeah, but you may actually give her a run for her money"
>No one has ever thought I was this manly.
>This has reached new levels of irony.
---
>All of a sudden she puts her hand on my thigh
>Oh shit what are you doing
>Applejack suddenly comes in with some water on a tray.
>"Here anon, I brought you some.... Applebloom! What are you doing? Leave Anon alone. Go on, git!"
>She scurries away down the hall.
>"I hope she didn't bother ya too much Anon."
"It's fine, she's just trying to be friendly."
>"Yeah, but she's getting kinda clingy"
"Yeah, I think you're right, we may need to give her some breathing room for a little while. Wanna go to the mall or something? We can invite the rest of the girls."
>"That sounds like a great idea! I'll call them up now and let them know."
>Well alrighty then
>45 minutes later Rarity shows up with her car
>"Get in you two!"
>We head off to the mall.
>After letting the girls browse around a little I head into Pacsun
>I'm looking at the T-shirts when all of a sudden
>"HI ANON!"
>Awww snap
>A wild Applebloom appeared!
>What do you want to do?
>FIGHT
>BAG
>PKMN
>RUN
>I would run, but she would just follow me.
"Applebloom, what the crap are you doing here?!"
>"We decided to follow you guys tho the mall!"
>We?
>Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo emerge out from inside a clothing rack.
>"Hi anon" sweetie belle says
>"It was Applebloom's idea to spy on you guys by the way" adds Scootaloo
"Does Applejack know you guys are here?"
>"N-no. My brother dropped me off."
>B-big Macintosh? Was he here now?
"Is he still here?"
>"No, he just dropped us off"
"Well, we better get you back to you sister"
>I grab her by the hand
>"Gasp, Anon, y-you're h-holding my hand!"
>I rolled my eyes
"Come on you two." I called out to her two friends
>They followed us back to the upper level where Applejack and her friends where
>"Applebloom, what're you doin' runnin' round the mall unsupervised?! Who knows what could've happened to you?!"
>"I'm not a baby anymore! I don't need anyboy to watch over me!" she resopnded angrily.
---
>"Wh-what? How can you say that? You're barely old enough to walk to school by yourself, let alone go to the mall!"
>Things are getting heated
>I decide to be the peacekeeper
"It's alright, AJ. At least her and her friends are okay now."
>She calms down a little.
>"I-uh.... I suppose you're right"
"Yeah, see. Why don't you call Big Mac up and he can take them back home"
>"Alright fine! Y'all are lucky Anon is looking out for you today! Now just wait here until Big Mac comes and picks you guys up."
>Applebloom discretely turns around and winks at me.
>"Thanks anon!" she says under her breath
>Great
>Now she's got the wrong impression of me.
>Maybe I should tell her that I.... don't roll in that direction.
>But she might get the wrong idea, like I don't like her.
>It might offend her
>I just smile back at her.
"No problem" I tell her quietly
>Now I'm stuck humoring her
>Big Mac shows up.
>"Thanks for scooping them up for us Big Mac."
>"Eeyup." He responds
>I'm just staring at him now
>At his body
>Lost in my imagination
>I think the girls begin to notice
>Applejack elbows me
>Big mac and the girls take off
>"Now what was that all about?" asks Applejack
"What was what?" I ask, trying to play it casual
>"You know" Rainbow Dash adds. "The way you got all cray eyes when Appejack's brother came by."
>I was blushing a little now
>"YEAH, YOU WERE ALL WOOH, WOOH, UHHHH...." Pinkie Pie adds.
>I don't know what to say
"Whatever, you guys wanna keep shopping? We'll head off to Gucci next"
>"OOOH YES YES YES YES!" Rarity says excitedly.
>She blushes a little
>"I mean, um... yes, let's go, shall we?" she says trying to regain her composure.
>And then we're off.
>Gotta be more careful next time
>Can't go and act too stupid around these girls.
---
>Driving home now.
>I'm in the front seat with Rarity
>She drops me off at my house first
>At least now I won't have to go back to Applejack's place and make an idiot out of myself anymore
>Arrive home
>Say ggodbye to the girls
>Go into my living room
>Laptop on the table
>Open it up to check my FacebookŪ.
>1 new friend request
>From Applebloom
>And 10 new messages
>From Applebloom
>http://youtu.be/XtRCqxpyxnY?t=20s
>Video related
>How did she find me?
>Well, through Applejack obviously
>This is getting out of hand
>I may need to cut this off before things get complicated
>I may just need to tell her the truth.
>Then that settles it
>Next time I see her I'll tell her I'm not into girls like she thinks I am.
>I don't want to make her upset though
>Better break it to her gently.
---
>Wait a few days
>At school
>Ocassionally see Applebloom in the hallways
>"Hey anon!' she'd tell me
>She would grab my arm
>"You mind taking me to class today?"
>Usually I would tell her that I was late for class and had to get going
>"Oh, a-alright anon."
>Then, I had it with her.
>It was time to break it off
>"Hey anon, would you mind walking me to class today?"
"Sure, where to?"
>Her face lit up like a kid on Christmas
>"Chemistry! In the north wing!"
>Now I could get a chance to talk to her a little
"Hey, Applebloom..."
>"Yeah anon?"
"Can you meet me by my locker after school? I need to tell you something"
>"Sure thing anon!" She was comepletely ecstatic.
>Alright, step 1
>The bell rung
>Damn, I was late for class
>Ah, whatever, not like I'm missing anything important
>I figured I would just skip class and chill on my phone or something.
>I pull it out of my pocket
>Then I notice something
>Someone has been on here
>That's what I get for not putting a password on it though
>There's a bunch of pictures on my camera roll
>Applebloom took a bunch of pictures on my phone
>Delete
>Delete
>I can tell she went through my texts too
>Okay, I think I'm doing the right thing now.
>Then I look up and notice Big Mac walking in the hall towards me
>I decide to muster up a little courage and talk to him.
"Wassup Big Mac" I say with a casual wave
>"Heya anon."
>He continued walking on
>Well then....
>He probably wouldn't reciprocate the feelings I had for him because he probably wasn't into guys
>I've had this problem before
>Totally misjudge someone's sexuality and make a total idiot out of myself.
>Yep
>Some call it gaydar
>But I don't
>That's just dumb
>And we wonder why people are so weirded out by us
>Would it be wrong of me to go and shoot down Applebloom out of my own selfish desires
>To have someone like you....
>But not have them like you back
>Man, I don't want to feel that feel
>Maybe she deserves another chance.
>*BZZT BZZT*
>New text
>I open it up
---
>It's from Applebloom
>"Hey anon! It's me Applebloom! Guess how I got your number lol"
>Crap
>This really is reaching a creepy level
>But that feel doe
>But it's a little unnatural for her to be so dedicated to talking to me.
>Or is it? She is a young girl after all.
>I just chill for the rest of the time, listening to music, going on reddit, shitposting on 4chan
"OP is a faggot"
>The irony alone makes me laugh
>The bell rings after a while
>I go about my day.
>Final bell rings
>Go out to my locker
>Applebloom is there
>Welp, crunchtime
>What do I do?
>She waves at me when she sees me
>"Heya anon!"
>Alright
>I go up to her
"Hey, Applebloom, listen"
>She perks up
"I know that you really like me and everything...."
>She blushes a little
>"W-what're you talking about anon?"
>She trys to play it cool
>I smile a little
>That's cute
"Anyway, you may think that somebody likes you back. Well, you see, I don't really like girls."
>"Well that's silly anon, if you don't like girls, then what do you like?"
"Well, I like guys, Applebloom."
>She looks weirded out for a second
>"Wait, what?"
"Yep, it's true"
>She understands now
>And then I see it in her face
>She looks crushed
"Listen Applebloom, I'm really sorry..... but I just don't like you in the same way you like me. You're a nice girl and everything, but even if I did like girls, you're a little young for me."
>She just looks at the ground sadly
>I put a hand on her shoulder
"You okay?"
>Y-yeah. I'm fine"
>I grab her and give her a hug
"You'll be okay"
>I let her go
"And besides, I bet if you found someone you're age they'd be all over you!"
>"Really, you think so anon?"
"Of course I do! You're a great girl, I don't see why anyone would even consider denying themselves the honor of being your boyfriend!"
>She smiles a little now
>"Thanks anon"
"So you sure you'll be okay?"
>"Yeah, I think I'll be alright"
>She sounds a little unsure
>But then she gives me another hug
---
>She lets go.
"Listen, I gotta get going now. I guess I'll see you around."
>"Yeah, later anon."
"Alright bye then"
>"Bye anon" she just responds quietly
>Alright, I've just succeded in ruining my own day, I feel terrible now
>But I've probably just ruined Applebloom's week
>Protip: life is hard.
>Applejack's probably gonna give me an earful
>But she knows it's for the best
>And I do to
>Well I will anyway
>With time
>As I get over the fact that I'm a complete jerk.
