Applejack noticed someone in the royal stable everyday. She always had a cloak over her so Applejack never knew who she was. Applejack's mother and father and her were the royal Apple family of Canterlot.
Applejack loved going down to the stables everyday to take a ride on her horse. Everyday she would see the person in the stable, brushing her horse's mane. But every time the person would flee before Applejack could talk to them.
But what confused her the most was the flower and note next to her horse everyday.
Applejack picked up the new note. She smiled. Every time the note would always say something sweet or kind or mysterious.
I bathed her and brushed her mane and tail for you. You're welcome.
soon to be yours -R
"What??".
Applejack looked at the partially opened barn door. She rushed over to it. Opened it she looked up and froze. She saw someone mounting a white horse just down the field. Applejack stared at the cloaked person, bringing her hand up to the wooden barn door.
She looked at the horse. She noticed a star mark on the horse's saddle. Applejack would have to remember that.
The blonde felt herself freeze when the person turned and looked at her. Their face was hidden from her sight.
Whether it was the distance between them or the cloak over their head, Applejack couldn't see their face.
But something about them was very mysterious. She liked that. The person turned and they rode off. Applejack ran to the field. She saw that the person was heading towards the village.
Applejack's eyes widened. Was the person from her kingdom??.
Looking down at the flower and note, she sighed.
"What are you looking at??".
Applejack quickly turned around. She relaxed when she saw her father standing there. The man had his arms crossed. He had blonde hair and a beard. He looked just like his daughter. Tan skin, green eyes and all.
But only Celestia knew where Applejack got her freckles from because she didn't get from either parent.
"Who was that??".
"Ah don't know", Applejack said shaking her had.
"But ah do know that they're one that's been leavin those notes next ta Buttermilk everyday. They even bathed her taday".
Applejack smiled at the note.
The king smiled. He liked to see his daughter so happy about someone.
"Ah think ah love em dad".
The king wa surprised. He raised his eyebrows for emphasis.
"Oh really??".
Applejack nodded looking out at the village.
"Ah know ah do".
"What about princess Rainbow Dash??. You're supposed to be wedded by the day after tomorrow".
Applejack frowned. Oh yeah. She had forgotten. She was supposed to marry the princess of Cloudsdale. She was a beautiful and amazing girl. Applejack had also fallen for the princess.
Applejack sighed.
"Just great".
Her father laughed.
"Well. You have a date with her today. So get to know her more and try to get your mind off this stranger".
Applejack nodded. "Yes papa".
