This is us

A month and a half later ...

Rarity was home alone because Applejack was at work.She worked at a school where she taught physical education.She started teaching physical education two weeks after the wedding.The students loved her very much.

"Come on kids, split up into pairs.Let one of the couples come to the middle."

"We will."

"Great."

"Did you know Rainbow Dash?"Said one of the children.

"Yes.She was my best friend.Why?"

"My sister spent a lot of time with her.She was a great athlete."

"It's true.All right, let's go now."

Meanwhile at home

Rarity was bored at home.So she decided to put away the drawers and cupboards in the room.While tidying up, she found a blue box that said Forever Yours.She wondered what was in the box.She opened the box and it was full of letters and pictures.She opened a picture album.The album featured pictures from Applejack’s family.She was looking at the album and laughing next to it.

"How cute."She took the next thing out of the box.This time it was a book.Rarity read the dedication on the cover of the book

"Don't bother me when I don't have you.You can't turn back time.You said you loved me.I know I’m late but I still have hope."When she read it she started reading the letters.She picked up the first letter.

"So let’s look at that first letter.
One day you will definitely make the right decision.Applejack, you're the only right person for her.By choosing her, you broke my heart.I still love you, and I always will."
Rarity read a few more letters after that letter and then finished reading.

Meanwhile at school

"Great kids.Come here.I will play five on five.One team takes the ball and the other tries to take the ball from her."

Fifteen minutes later ...

"Kids my class is over.Have a nice time see you next time."

The children went to the next class.Applejack went home.On the way home, she stopped at the cemetery where Rainbow Dash is buried.She visited her grave.

"I hope you don’t suffer too much up there.Would you stay here with me if I didn't choose Rarity?I will never know that.Love is sometimes cruel."Applejack said goodbye to Rainbow Dash and went home.Lunch and her pregnant wife were waiting for her at home.

"Hey, how was it?"

"Good."

"Are you hungry?"

"Of course.What's for lunch?"

"Macaroni with cottage cheese and vegetables for me and for you macaroni with turkey.We have a salad next to it."

Rarity made food for Applejack and herself.As they ate, Rarity lay down, Applejack cleared the table and washed the dishes.When she had done all that was necessary, she went to Rarity.

"Hey, darling."

"How are you?"

"Good.How are you?"

"I miss you."

"I'm here."

"I know, but you're pregnant now, and we can't because you know what?"

"Be patient, Jackie.Can you get me some chocolate?"

"Are you sure you want chocolate again for the fourth time this week?That you won’t then complain about your weight.Take care of yourself, Rari."

"What do you mean by that, Applejack?Are you saying I'm fat?"

"No, I didn't mean that."

Rarity began to cry.

"Ah come on you're going to cry now, for such a trifle?I didn't say you were fat."

"But you certainly thought so."

"Rarity, calm down.You're hurting yourself and the baby.I'm going to get some chocolate now."

"No.I don't want chocolate anymore."

"Can I get you something else?Fruit, juice, yogurt, cookies?"

"I don't want anything.Please just let me alone."

"Rarity, are you mad at me?"

Rarity did not answer.Applejack hugged her.

"Did you smoke again?You promised to stop."

"It's true.I promised you."

Rarity went for the box she found while tidying up.The box was shown by Applejack.

"Where did you get this box?"

"I found her while cleaning up.It doesn’t matter, only what is in it matters.Have you cheated on me with Rainbow Dash more than once?There are many letters here that hint at your relationship with her.Tell me the truth.Did you have a secret affair with her?"

"Rarity, what kind of nonsense is this?"

"Answer me!How many times have you slept with that bitch?"

"Don't tarnish her name!What Dash and I had should not worry anyone.She's dead now!"Applejack left the room before she left, Rarity took her hand.

"Answer my question."

"See, I know it's hard for you, but it doesn't give you any right to talk bad about Rainbow Dash.For God's sake, she was your friend."

"No.She's not been my friend since she took you from me."

"She didn't take me from you.I'm still here with you.I chose you, and now I see I made a serious mistake."Applejack went out, Rarity burst into tears.Rarity turned all things off the shelf out of rage.There was broken glass on the floor.She picked it up and cut her arm.She cried.She was bleeding.Soon Applejack came back.

"Rarity, my God, what have you done?"She took care of her quickly.She brought her water.

"Applejack ..."

"Quiet,drink water."She kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry.I didn't want to."

"It's okay.It's my fault.I promise to try to hold on.I don't want you to feel bad about me.I don’t want to lose you like I lost Rainbow Dash."

"I'm sorry."She cried.Applejack kissed her on the cheek.She lay down next to her.They fell asleep together.They slept until dinner.Then Applejack woke up and went to cook dinner.Rarity was still asleep.

Three minutes later, Rarity woke up.She went to the kitchen, to her wife.

"How nice it smells.What are you cooking?"

"Roasted zucchini, cheese and onion sauce.Wait a little longer, I just started cooking."

"Right.I'm getting some air.Call me when dinner's over."

"I will, go now.The air will do you good."

Before Rarity went she kissed Applejack on the lips and she kissed her.

"I love you, Jackie. "

"Me too, you two."
