Here's the update I promised you guys!

Applejack's POV

It was a Saturday, and I was sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden Rarity nudged me and woke me up. "Good morning, darling," She greeted me, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "It's the weekend, and I have the most marvelous idea! We simply must visit the mall today."

I groaned and rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep. "The mall, Rarity? Can't we just sleep today? We've been exploring Paris this entire week! I feel like an apple tree that's been bucked a bunch of times..."

"Oh, Applejack, I understand that the mall may not be your cup of tea, but trust me, it'll be an absolute blast. We'll have the opportunity to explore different stores, try on fabulous clothes, and perhaps even find something extraordinary!"

Reluctantly, I sat up, "Alright, Rarity, if it means that much to you, I reckon I can give it a try. But don't expect me to get all excited about fancy clothes and such."

Rarity and I got dressed, and we rushed downstairs because Rarity wanted to get there early.

Monsieur and Madame Lefèvre, asked if we wanted breakfast but Rarity and I say we were gonna eat at the mall. Besides, I grabbed an apple for the road. We left the house and took the bus to the mall.

Now, we arrived. “Come on, darling, let’s go!” Rarity said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the entrance of the mall. “I can’t wait to see what fabulous outfits they have here.”

“Alright, alright, I’m comin’ Sugarcube,” I said, following her. I didn’t mind it when Rarity held my hand, but I didn’t think much of it. I thought of Rarity as my best friend, nothing more. But suddenly my heart was beating faster and faster. I just shook it off.

We entered the mall and were greeted by an array of stores and boutiques. Rarity’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

We entered the first store. “What do you think of this one, Applejack?” she asked, holding up a poofy pink dress with frills and lace.

"Uh, if I'm gonna be honest, Rarity, I think something else would fit you better." I tried saying as politely as possible
"Hmm, I suppose you're right, Applejack! I shall go more something more chic to my taste!"

Rarity dragged me to many stores, but we also got a few souvenirs for our friends in Canterlot High. Finally, we got some progress done on this one. We entered a clothing store we saw, which had a sign that said "La Belle Boutique." We were greeted by a saleswoman who spoke in French. "Bonjour, mesdemoiselles. Bienvenue à La Belle Boutique. Comment puis-je vous aider?" she asked.

(Hello, ladies. Welcome to La Belle Boutique. How can I help you?)

Rarity smiled and replied in French. "Bonjour, madame. Nous sommes ici pour essayer quelques tenues. Pouvez-vous nous montrer ce que vous avez de nouveau et de tendance?"

(Hello, madam. We are here to try on some outfits. Can you show us what you have new and trendy?)

"Rarity, I didn't know you spoke fancy!" I said, surprised

"Well, Applejack, after spending a week in Paris, I have been accustomed to their language. However, I only know a few simple words right now."

Afterward, the saleswoman nodded and led us to a rack of clothes that had a sign that said "New Arrivals."

“Applejack, look at this!” she exclaimed, holding up a plaid shirt with a denim vest and a red apple embroidered on it.

“Well isn't that somethin',” I said, smiling. It was something that I would wear.
