>“Anon, yer tellin’ me that you can keep up with me even AFTER a long day of hard apple bucking?” ”AJ, I keep telling you that I can’t keep up with you, but I can catch up with you in the long term. Human stamina, you know?” >Applejack rolled her eyes >“Well how ‘bout we put your apple where yer cart is, huh Anon?” ”Applejack, its not me bragging, its just biolo-” >She was gone, dust taking her original place and the sound of a galloping pony getting farther and farther away >“Sorry partner looks like that human stamina won’t help ya catch me. Better luck next time!” ”God damn it, Applejack!!” >You were in no mood to be running, especially after a horse that was going to do her darndest to prove you wrong. >Oh pride; the folly of man would once again have you half dead, gasping for air just to prove a point. >You jogged toward her in an instant. No need to tire yourself out, especially since at her pace, she won’t last 30 minutes you figure. >In no time at all, you already feel the sweat dripping from your forehead, your heart beating like a war drum, your lungs breathing deeper. Your body's natural adaptations help you catch your prey, who is barely in sight. >About 500 feet away from you if you had to guess. Good thing her orange coat didn’t blend into the green grass. >Soon you started to not see apple trees anymore, accompanied by long rolling hills that made your task that much more difficult. >There were times in which you thought you lost her, until you saw her getting on top of a hill, looking back to see if she lost you >“You’ll never catch me Anon! I’m a mile ahead a ya!” ”Will you still be a mile ahead in 10 minutes from now!? >“If’n your lack of breath is anything to go by, yeah! ”Keep running! I’ll make you eat those words!” >“I’d like to see you try!” >The hunt began again. And you were not going to lose. >Soon the rolling hills turned into a simple plain. No trees in sight, just a sea of grass and the rare lake or two. >But you didn’t notice. You were focused on one thing only >You were focused on the orange little mustang that had started teasing you ever since you got to Equestria. You were going to make her pay. >Soon, you noticed that you were gaining on her. She wouldn’t last too long >The poor thing started to look back and saw the ground you gained. She made a shocked whinny sound and redoubled her efforts, before needing to slow down again. >With time, you were able to come up to her and tackle her to the ground, tumbling until she was below you >She was out of breath, her eyes shrunk to pinpricks, her hooves pushed together on top of her chest, as if begging for you to stop >But you were not deterred ”Applejack, you’ve kept teasing me from the very beginning, making jokes at my expense and such and now you’ve made me all sweaty and tired.” >Applejack couldn’t muster a response >You whisper something next to her ear ”You know, the thing about human stamina is that even after all that, I’m not quite done with you. You were warned.” >Applejack was shocked at what he meant by that. And despite her wanting to fight back, she was too tired to. There was nothing she could do. She was defenseless >And Anon knew it. ”By the way, you’re real beautiful Applejack, even for a pony…” >You gently put your palm oh her cheek ”…It's a mystery that you haven't found a coltfriend yet. But that’s fine. I’ll be your first…” >Applejack was scared, her eyes widened, but soon she also felt something else that she couldn’t put her hoof on, and her eyes became half lidded. >Your face gets closer to Applejack’s, her face a different shade more akin to a reddish-orange. >Applejack couldn’t help but look into your eyes, anticipating your next move until… ”...Boop!” >You laughed your ass off! Finally, after years of being on the back foot, you finally got your revenge on apple hoers! ”There you go, AJ, human stamina is no joke!” >You go into another bout of laughter >”WHAT!! B-but, what in tarnation was that all about!!” >Confused, you were confused ”AJ, what are you talking about?” >“I-I, well, you said you weren’t done with me! You put your claw on me and you said you’d be my… my…” ”Your first boop? Has there been another that booped you?” >“Well, no, but what was all that about? And the coltfriend thing?!” ”What? Well, you see I wasn’t done because I wanted to pet you and boop you, and normally only colt and fillyfriends boop each other, right? >Applejack put her hooves to her face in embarrassment and frustration. How could she have been so stupid. How could anon have been so native? Is this a really odd dream? >As Applejack was deep in thought, she felt that she was being lifted up >“What in tarnation?!” >You put her head on one shoulder, and her flank on the other, akin to a log. ”We have to go home, don’t we? And you seem like you don’t want to walk another step, so I’ll just carry you home.” >She chuckled at your statement >“Human stamina, huh?” “Yes ma’am. Although I’m afraid by the time we get home, I’m going to collapse on my bed.” >She laughed again >“You know, you’re not half bad, Anon. You really did put your apples where your cart is. Good job.” >”Well, we’re not out of this yet, let's go home before you start congratulating me, friend.” >You both smile >”Good point partner, good point.” >Eventually you both go home and have a wonderful cuddle session together after collapsing from the fatigue both you endured. Life is good.
